Novel & Cerita The Billionaire's Unexpected Proposal Novel Evelyn And Derek

They couldn’t. They all had their eyes elsewhere. “You just made us lose our opportunities. What is the use of us calling you our daughter when you lost the billionaire himself?! My father yelled out and I frowned. What does he mean? “What are you saying, Father? If he doesn't want me anymore then I will come to your home. You are my home and my only family.” I retorted while Melody scoffed, clearing her throat as she started. “We are your family, really? Did you ever think we were your family before you agreed to his proposal?” She inquired and I huffed.

Three years. That’s how long Zarielle loved Kael — faithfully, completely, believing they were building forever together. Until the night she heard the truth: he never loved her. He stayed only out of duty, while his heart belonged to her best friend, Elara. Broken but proud, Zarielle walks away. She leaves behind the man who gave her scraps instead of love and the friend who betrayed her trust. But moving on isn’t easy. Everywhere she turns, people speak of Kael and Elara — their engagement, their happiness, the perfect life that was meant to be hers. Then Kael realizes his mistake. He sees that the peace and loyalty he found with Zarielle was worth more than the fleeting spark he cha

she said simply. I stared at her, waiting for the punchline. When it didn’t come, I laughed, a short, bitter sound. "Is this some kind of joke?" "Not at all," she said in all seriousness. "The man in question is a billionaire. He needs a wife, and we need someone desperate enough to take the deal. And Y-O-U, my dear, fits the bill perfectly." The words stung, but I couldn’t deny the truth in them. I was desperate. Homeless. Heartbroken. Seeking revenge.

Eleanor Carter sat at her vanity table, her reflection that of elegant beauty, she applied her makeup with practiced precision, her mind racing with the weight of the news she had received the night before. The Carter’s family fortune, a symbol of power and prestige, was now teetering on the brink of collapse. After trying to convince her husband about breaking the partnership with the Russos he thought otherwise and Mrs. Carter knew that drastic measures would be taken by the Russos, a lawsuit isn’t something she’d want at this moment just because of her husband’s greed. Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Mrs. Carter’s heart skipped a beat. She knew without a doubt who stood on the

“I won’t take much of your time, but I have something that might interest you. An exclusive proposal, very lucrative. We should talk.” Zayn barely looked at him. “Not tonight.” Richard hesitated, his brows scrunched up, “I understand, of course, but perhaps just a moment...” “I said, not tonight.” Zayn’s voice was calm, but firm. Richard let out a forced chuckle, glancing at his wife, who shifted uncomfortably. “It’s just...this opportunity won’t last long, and I thought, given your eye for good investments...” Zayn’s gaze finally settled on him, cold and unwavering. “If it’s that unstable, I’m not interested.”

Jaden had approached her with a proposal that seemed too good to pa*s up—a marriage of convenience, solely for business purposes. Rita had hesitated initially, her heart longing for a love that would surpa*s any business arrangement. But the prospect of financial security and stability lured her into accepting the proposal. She convinced herself that true love would eventually blossom between them, even if it had started with a contract. Months had pa*sed since that fateful day, and Rita couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment every time she thought about her relationship with Jaden. They hadn't even had a proper wedding. Instead, they had chosen to prioritize their careers, rushing

What the fuck was going on with me? I headed over to the kitchen and went into the freezer. He said he had ice cream for us, and sure enough, when I opened it up, I found it stacked high with a bunch of fancy flavors, sea salt and caramel, double chocolate, green tea. He seemed to know exactly what I needed or maybe he was just good at reading people, a skill picked up from years working as a ruthless businessman. He just understood how precisely to keep people on their toes, to make sure everyone around him kept coming back to him no matter what. Perhaps I was just another one of his conquests, a business acquisition that just happened to leak over into his private life more than others bef

If everyone found out about the truth, she would not be able to face them anymore. Evelyn was on the verge of tears. She turned to look at Elio with resentment in her eyes. Why did he have to be so smug? How was he going to deal with this? Unexpectedly, Elio did not seem fazed at all. "Sure, you’re always welcome. It's settled then. We’ll be waiting for you on the 18th of next month." Seeing him agree so readily, everyone was left puzzled again. Did he really have a villa? Not long ago, he was just a live-in son-in-law who had nothing. How did he become a millionaire within three short years?

Then she starts typing and does not stop for a long time and when the message arrives, it is the longest thing she has ever sent me and I read every word of it without moving.

Then my phone buzzed again, and this time it was not James. It was a news alert. I frowned and opened it, but the moment the headline appeared on the screen, all the air seemed to leave my body.
