Seventy eight: Proposal
I quivered. I didn't know what to do. What would become of me? As far as I knew, everyone always said that cancer had no cure. Was I really going to die? What was happening? When were these predicaments going to end?
"Oh my, oh my, oh my Lord. Oh Lord, help me!" I burst out crying, running my hands into my hair like a lunatic. "Oh my gosh! Oh my!" I also wailed at the top of my voice.
Seth shifted close to me, cupped my face in his hands, trying to keep me calm. "Please, calm down. Wh-What does the result say?"
"I-I…" I sobbed so much. I couldn't speak or think properly. I just didn't want to believe what I had read.
"Calm down, please." I saw terror in his eyes. He was definitely scared. "What does it say? Just tell me."
I sniffled. "I-I don't know what to do. I-I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna leave you!"
"Hey, don't say that. You're not

Seth wasn't saying anything to me. He was only staring dumbly like his brain had gotten numb. Wait, this couldn't be true, could it? Seth and I had made a vow. We had promised to stay with each other till eternity. And yes, I trusted him completely. He wouldn't do something this horrible.I turned to Sonya, glared hard. "Hey, what do you want? Aren't you willing to give up on him? Can't you see how happy we are together? Just forget about him. Get rid of your fantasy!""I'm not lying. I'm really carrying his child," she said the same thing again.I sniggered. This woman was making me furious. "Please, stop this. Don't make me hurt you. Have you gone mad?!""I said I'm not lying!" She retorted. She glared as well, some tears in her eyes. "You think you—""Shut up!" I couldn't contain my wrath, so I hit her across her face. I hit her hard.
BILLIONAIRES Eighty: Memories
Jerome••••••••••I smiled at Erin's parents, feeling great to see them this happy. Also, in a way, I felt guilty. They didn't know that I had been the one who had caused this ruckus in the first place. They thought I was helping their daughter to get her memory back because we were good friends. But no, I was only paying for my sins."Now that she feels better, and knowing you're with her, I'll be comfortable going back to Canada," Erin's mother, Ann, said.Her dad smiled at me. "Me too. We really feel bad that our daughter hasn't gotten her memory back, but since the doctor has assured us that she'll get it back soon, I'm fulfilled. Thanks for your help, my boy.""I'm so happy." Ann wiped her tears off, sniffled between. "Thanks so much. Her health wouldn't have improved if you weren't with her."
BILLIONAIRES Eighty one: Go bad.
Becca••••••••Sitting on this well furnished chair, in this bright, beautiful, but empty room, which was so close to Dad's office, I tapped my feet against the hard marble floor, that devilish smirk playing on my lips. Who would have known that this tiny me could fool and crumble the life of my beloved, stupid sister? Not even me would have known that."You don't know where she is?" I asked Rita who put her eyes down, and seemed a bit nervous. "Hm… what if she's dead? Did you poison her for so long?" I inquired further.She raised her eyes to me, terror playing through her facial expression. "Y-Yes. She's a lover of coffee. She takes coffee about three or four times a day. Each time she asks me to make one, I add some amount of powder from the bag you gave to me.""Kudos!" I remarked, and sipped from the glass of wine beside me.
BILLIONAIRES Eighty two: Goodbye.
Louella••••••••••Staring up at the hazy sky of the evening, seated on the small stool on the porch of this old beach house, I sighed hard. I felt a heavy pain in my chest, feeling the need to cough hard. I knew I was supposed to begin my treatments, but how would I do that when I wasn't willing to go back home?It had been days since I saw anyone. After I had left Seth, I had decided to come to this beach house. This was a place Dad, mom and I used to have a vacation, just before Jan and Becca had come into our lives. Though the place gave me bad memories, I really still liked coming here. It was always filled with serenity.I stared down at my shaky fingers, felt really bad for myself. I didn't know the decision to make. Was I really going to let myself die?In a few days, I would run out of food. I had had some money in my
BILLIONAIRES Eighty three: Up To Me
Seth••••••I wasn't feeling so well. Before Louella had come into my life, all I had been doing was to work. But, now that she had gone, it was really hard to work without her. This was so upsetting.Indeed, you only missed your lover when you let her go. To worsen all this, no one knew where she was. I had called her, had texted her, hard searched for her, but it was all to no avail. Maybe I had to file a missing report at the police station. This was too frustrating for me.Dayla walked into my office, a couple of files tugged to her chest. When she dropped the files on my table, she stood in front of the table like a mango tree, looking down.I wiggled a brow at her. "Hey, you need something? Why stand there?""Oh, sorry. I was a bit lost." She laughed weirdly. "Um, someone's here to see you. She says her name is Rita."
BILLIONAIRES Eighty four: The Devils
Celina••••••••Becca's complaint was getting too annoying. Why was it so hard for her to understand that we only needed to be as patient as possible? It wasn't as if I wasn't trying my best. Here she was, complaining about her father's betrayal, while I was here, thinking of how to get Seth attracted to me.Days had passed, yet Seth wasn't willing to be close to me. I had gone to his office, and had apologized to me. Yes, he had said he forgave me, but how was I supposed to believe that if he hadn't even called or texted me? It just seemed like my effort to get him was nothing but a waste."Where the heck is Rita?!" Becca barked, smashed her phone against the floor, breathing hard like an insane dog.I rolled my eyes. "Girl, chill. She'll be back soon. I only asked her to grab some files from Louella's office. If we find Louella before
BILLIONAIRES Eighty five: My Seth.
Louella••••••••••I packed the last set of files into my backpack, ready to head out. Spotting a red file on my table, I narrowed my eyes at it, and grabbed it. The moment I skimmed through it, I couldn't help but gape. How in the world had I almost forgotten such an important file? This was the most needed file of all the files I had taken from here.I kept the file in my backpack, slung the backpack over my shoulder. I took a glance at my wrist watch, feeling a bit disturbed and puzzled. I had to leave here soon, before anyone would see me. If Seth had to come now, there was no doubt that he wouldn't want me to leave.First, I had to ensure that I was set to leave here. Once I got back to the beach house, since my phone was already turned on, I would book a flight online, and leave the country for a few months. In the meantime, I would ensure that I

I knew I was supposed to run over to him, and cuddled him crazily. Instead, all I was doing was to stare at him. I was really happy. To be honest, in the past few days, I had missed him a lot. There was really no point in denying that."Seth." Gently, I walked over to him, giving him a small smile. He was also smiling, but wasn't saying anything.He cupped my jaw when I reached him. "Sweetie, where have you been?" And pecked my cheek."Gosh, I've missed you." A tear left my eye. What was making me emotional? In such a terrifying situation?He leaned close, hugged me, pecked my forehead. "Oh yes, I've missed you too.""This is really hard for us." I returned his hug, weeping on his chest. "Becca and Celina are doing all this. They really want to have me killed. They're taking it too far.""I know it all. And, most of all, I'm glad you have no
