A Billionaire's Promise 8. I'm sorry, grandfather
MIA'S POV The door of my room opened and an anxious Melody stepped in. "So, have you decided yet?" She asked knowingly, walking closer to sit with me on my bed. I let my mind wander briefly before I gave her an affirming nod. It's been five days since grandfather's death and earlier today, we had laid him to rest peacefully in a private section of his villa (as he'd requested). During the past few days, I had thought long and hard over his letters and after several painful contemplation, I decided I couldn't get married to Aziz Garrett no matter the reason. "You're sure about this, right?" Melody asked skeptically again. "You're sure you wouldn't regret this decision?" I turned to her, smiling warmly over her concerns. "Don't worry Mel, I've thought about this for long. You know me to some extent," I nodded knowingly at her and she sighed. "Alright then. You should get ready. I would inform the others immediately." She said and I smiled. "Thank you Melod
A Billionaire's Promise 9. Unexpected appearance
NARRATIVE "What?! Are you certain about this, Beverly?" Riley asked with widened eyes. She was too shocked and excited at the same time over her maid's sudden information. "I'm certain Ms. I wouldn't dare lie to you." Beverly affirmed, a fawning grin widely spread over her cheeks. "I confirmed it with my eyes. I saw her friend, Melody, take her luggage out of her room and I ran here to inform you as soon as I could." She added gleefully. 'Really? Mia's leaving? If Beverly's right, then I wouldn't have to be worried anymore. I don't have to feel down-casted over her engagement to Aziz. I wouldn't be troubled by her presence anymore.' Riley thought to herself as a smirk appeared over her face. 'Wait, but why's she leaving?' She wondered. 'Anyway, that's not my business. I should inform mother right away.' Riley nodded to herself as she immediately stood up from her bed. She'd go see her mother in the living room where she was busy, entertaining their guests. "This is t
A Billionaire's Promise 10. Her Decision to stay
MIA'S POV Seeing the surprise in Aziz's eyes, I couldn't help but smile. I glance around at everyone and my eyes met Xara's. She looked so relieved and surprised at the same time. I smiled secretly at her.Turned out I couldn't leave again. Even when I was already at the airport.FLASHBACK It was silent in the car as Clarion drove us to the airport. Occasionally, he'd glance at me but wouldn't say a word afterward. Seems like he was giving me privacy to go over my decisions for the final time before we arrive at our destination. I wipe the remnant tears from my eyes as several thoughts go through my mind. 'Am I making the best choice right now? Wouldn't I regret this in the future? But I can't get married to Aziz when I'm in love with my best friend, Clarion. But it's only a maximum of three years. Isn't that a little sacrifice to save my parents' inheritance and Grandfather's company? Besides,' I glance sideways at Clarion. 'I'm not sure about his feelings. I could be on l
A Billionaire's Promise 1. Grandfather's Will
Running in the rain with all the strength she could muster, Mia Stewart had tears rolling down her cheeks in torrents. The rain splashing and wiping against her face succeeded in washing the tears away but it did nothing to stop the continuous flow. Her long blonde hair was wet and dripping chill drops of rain water, while sticking against her scalp and her party mini denim skirt was torn because of how fast she ran amidst the traffic but it didn't matter. Nothing else mattered to her now __ not even the expensive diamond rings she always adorn on her fingers. Mia wasn't the least concerned at this point if she's lost a few of them in her panic. Arriving at the huge exquisite gate of her grandfather's villa, she stopped abruptly as a sudden rush of regret overwhelmed her. If only she hadn't listened to cousin Riley's silly suggestion of going to party with her friends at the popular 'Waves Club' in South Lake Union. If only she had stayed back with grandfather like Xara had
A Billionaire's Promise 2. His fiancée?
When Mia turned and saw the men, her eyes widened in surprise over their sudden appearance. As her grandfather's most favorite grandchild, and as a fact that she lived with him all her life, she immediately recognized them. The younger, taller and really handsome man having a firm build and a confident aura, with his darkbrown hair in a taper-fade cut and dressed in a black three-piece suit, was none other than the famous Aziz Garrett, the CEO of G-tex Corporation. One of the largest and top most successful company in South Lake Union extending all over Seattle and even Washington at large. Aziz Garrett was grandfather Mattio's most trusted business partner. Also, he shared a relationship somewhat similar to that of a 'grandson and a grandfather' with the late chairman. The other man, with shiny black hair neatly combed back and dressed in a brown suit was Barrister Grey, her late grandfather's lawyer. However, Mia wasn't the only one clearly familiar with the ident
A Billionaire's Promise 3. Between cousins
Turning to face Riley, tears instantly pooled in Mia's eyes. How was she to explain what she couldn't understand herself? "Tell me it's a lie. That this is some kinda joke! You've been dating him secretly all these while is that? You know about my feelings but you went ahead to do such a thing to me. Between us now who's the most cruelest? Ain't that you?!" Riley pushed her hands through her hair as tears rolled down her cheeks. "Dammit Mia! This ain't right! This is betrayal!" "Riley it's not what you think. I'm also..." Mia tried to explain but Riley was quick to interrupt her. "I've always known you didn't care about me. But this...this," She sobbed. "This has to do with my feelings. What about me? You know I've always loved him but you still...you still snatch him too. What about Clarion? Did you lied to me when you told me about him back then?" "Riley..." "You know what?" Riley wiped the tears rolling down her pretty face with her hand. "It turned out you've always been a
A Billionaire's Promise 4. Her best friend
NARRATIVE “Mia, I’m sorry I’m late.” On hearing the soothing, very familiar voice, Mia couldn’t help but look at his face again. “Clarion,” she sobbed. “How are you here?” Clarion smiled and squat before her. “I’m so sorry about your grandpa’s death. I’m sorry you had to go through this again.” He reached out his arms around her and pulled her to him. And once again, Mia found herself sobbing so uncontrollably, even more than ever before.FLASHBACK…Several minutes ago... In an exquisite Villa at the southern end of the city, in the early hours of the day, Melody hurried into the living room, a small bottle in her hand. "The fuck Lark!" She exclaims immediately she sighted him still curled up on the couch, lost once more in his dream land. "Will you get that ass off that couch instantly?! We've not seen or heard from Mia yet!" She hurries over and swats his back slightly. "Uh? Uhmm." Lark groaned in his sleep, slowly trying to open his eyes. "Gosh, babeee!" Mel
A Billionaire's Promise 5. Grandfather's parcel
AZIZ'S POV After my conversation with Madame Clinton, I hurried towards the garden overlooking the lake which I learnt over time that it was Mia's favorite place to be in. I know how hard this news of her grandfather's death must have hit her. Mia's someone I've admired for a while now. I almost couldn't believe it when the late Chairman made me swear to him right on his sickbed, entrusting his precious granddaughter in my care. I was about entering the garden when my phone suddenly ring. I paused on my stride and glanced at the caller ID. It's a call from my mother, Mrs Jennie Garrett. Why's she suddenly calling me? I clearly told her not to bother me this morning. "Yes." "Aziz, don't tell me you're really getting engaged to that child! You should know better than that!" Her shrill voice yelled immediately the call connected. "Mother, that's for me to decide. It's my decision to decide with whom I'm gonna be spending the rest of my life with. You shouldn't medd
