Romans & histoires My Dad's Billionaire Best-friend

Floor-to-ceiling glass walls, a private infinity pool that seemed to melt into the ocean, and an expansive wooden deck with loungers and a dining area overlooking the water. Lily squealed and jumped out first. “Dibs on the master bedroom with the ocean view!” Alexander shook his head with an affectionate smile. “You always did that, even when you were six.” Mia stepped out slowly, taking it all in. The warm breeze lifted her hair, and she could already feel the sun kissing her skin. But her real focus was on the man now standing beside her, hands in his pockets, looking every bit the successful, self-made billionaire who had raised his daughter alone after tragedy.

“What I need is to sleep in, I’ll catch up with you later okay?” “Of course” I smile. “Have fun with your multi millionaire client” She laughs and blows a kiss through the phone. “Love you, bye” She cuts the call and I take the last piece of chicken. I look around the house. It’s awfully big for one person and even though I’m used to big spaces before I always lived with people. Rahi in uni, Lance after uni, Lance, Damien and Parker 5 years ago. A penthouse for just me sounds awfully lonely.

Hmmm, how thoughtful. Still, I shake my head, “don’t be lazy dear, I didn’t raise you like that” **** “Woah, he really did all that?” I said as Noah narrates all his encounter with the mysterious man he called daddy. “Yes, mama his rich, fit your criteria of a man” Kids, so delusional. “Man in finance, trust fund baby, six-five, blue eyes” Emma recite “did he tick all the boxes?” “Yes Emma, A upgrade, a billionaire unicorn walking in town, his unmarried I think”

I tried as much as I could to avoid my mother's face as I stood on the stage while my father was around, shaking hands with his wealthy friend who came up to congratulate him. Another marking day for us. “Robert, you bought Xn, the same company wrecking you including us, your friends.” “What sort of stunt is that?” One of the men said whilst shaking Dad. I and Elliot heard the man loud and clear or so I thought. The man's face was a bit saddened and didn't look like he was happy to hear of Dad's supposed achievement. “Oh yes, I bought it my friend to save us further from the wreck it has caused us already. Think about it,” Dad answered.

I said. "Nope" he said. I collected the key and hugged him again "Thank you" I said. I thanked everyone too. "Melody Trager, heiress to the World Largest business. Welcome to the world of adult and riches and business and secrecy" my dad said. I smiled and we all had a toast to that. That was the secret. I am the daughter of the billonaire.

He wasn't- not to me, not to Justin. As far as billionaires go, Dad was a pretty decent man. Some even went as far as calling him a very kind man and I have heard people say he had a heart of gold. Well, he had a ridiculous amount of gold, both in jewellery and those he invested in. Gold was indeed very dear to his heart, but his heart wasn't made of gold. I knew that.

Before I could finish, I noticed her eyes lit up, and I looked in the direction too. To my greatest shock, it was the same guy from the other day. He was obviously a billionaire because he has the aura written all over him. Before I could turn back to talk to Ruby, she was off to him. I watched them share a hug and my heart broke into pieces. I just couldn’t believe that Ruby had the guts to invite another man over to my parents' house. “Asher,” my dad’s voice suddenly pulled me out of my thoughts. “That’s the client I told you about. He’s new in town but with a million dollar project that could turn into billions in just a matter of months. We have to win him over, and I know you are up to

"Point of correction, dad. I'm not your heir. I don't need your money. I am one of the top three wealthiest businessman in the world. I am a billionaire. I have companies of my own and I have millions of people working as my employees." His father slammed his hand on the desk angrily and rose to his feet. "That's because I gave you the right connections!" "Fuck your connections, dad! You're so greedy. You have so much already—" "I'm not greedy," Branson argued. "Really? Then, how would you explain your relationship with my ex-girlfriend?" He never meant to bring that up, but he did anyways. "Karen had broken up with you—" "So, you knew. You knew she was my girlfriend before dating her… You—"

teased the person next to me. I looked at him sharply and raised an eyebrow. He immediately looked away. Meet my fucking best friend, Lou. He was my childhood best friend.
