Seventy three: Poor couple.
I was so, so anxious. While the doctors had been trying to restore Erin's health, due to the loud wail from Louella, they had had no choice but to ask us to leave the room. And, that made me even more scared. Had she died, but they hadn't wanted us to know about it?
I tightened my fist, closed my eyes.
No.
Not her.
She didn't deserve to die.
The door of the ICU opened, and the doctors and nurses started ambling out of the room. Immediately, not giving them a chance to take a breath, Louella hurried over to them, attacking them with questions.
The doctor sighed. "Please, please, do calm down," the middle-aged man prompted. "The good news is, we've been able to restore her heart beat back to its normal form. Well, she is still in a coma state, but I can assure you that she'll recover in a few days or a few hours."

Seth•••••••Everyone thought I was so strong. They didn't know that all I was trying to do was to make sure that everyone was okay. I was hiding my emotions. I was trying to be strong.After dropping Louella off at my place, I had decided to come to the club so I'd get myself drunk. I knew I shouldn't leave her alone at my place, knowing fully well that she would be worried, but seriously, I needed to get drunk. I needed to snap out of the real world. I was way too upset.In the last few days, I had been riding in a roller coaster of emotions. I wasn't ready to live with the reality that dad was dead. Although I knew he wasn't coming back, although I knew I should move on, I still kept being emotional. I wasn't even able to cry any longer. My tears seemed to have dried up.Parking my car in the parking lot of thi
BILLIONAIRES Seventy five: He's back.
Louella•••••••••I took a glance at my wrist watch, then sighed hard. I really didn't know what to do anymore. He wasn't taking my calls, replying to my texts. It had been almost a day since he had gone, which was a bit bothersome.At first, I had thought he had probably gone over to Tanya's place, to maybe comfort her in this hard time. But no, that wasn't it. I had called her, and she had said that she hadn't seen him since yesterday.I brushed my fingers into my hair, kept my elbow on the table, exhaled hard. I wished he could know how worried I was. If he didn't call, text, or come back home by tonight, I would have no choice but to report this to the police. I only hoped that he hadn't harmed himself. He really seemed so hurt yesterday."Ms. Warren." I raised my neck to see who had called me.

"Seth!" I slapped Seth's arm, laughing like a crazy person. He laughed too, and sighed. "You're so unserious. We've got a lot of work to do, remember? And, um, since my dad's still taking thirty percent, I think I have to work harder.""It'll be fine.""When's the next meeting?" I asked him.He glimpsed at me, turned to the file in his hand, cleared his throat. "Tomorrow, I think," he replied."So, I'd have to come around tomorrow too?""Guess so.""What time?""In the morning."He dropped the files on the stool beside him, and looked at me. "What're your plans for today? If possible, I wanna go on a date with you." He winked."Nah. I've got to work. Besides, I'll be meeting my new secretary today. Rachel had said she'd come within a day, but now, it's going to be a week, y
BILLIONAIRES Seventy seven: Test result
I rolled uncomfortably on my bed. The bed was huge, spacious enough to accommodate seven people, yet, I felt so, so choked, even though I was the only one on the bed. A sharp pain played in my upper abdomen, and I felt the need to vomit.My back hurt like a rock had been thrown against it, my head hurt so much, my stomach hurt, as well as my throat. Also, a rare pain raced in my chest. I knew something wasn't right.In the last one week, I had been feeling this pain. I hadn't been able to work due to it. Good for me, Rita was pretty hard working, so she was able to handle everything at the office. Mom wasn't around, Erin still hadn't gotten her memory back. The only person who could help me was Seth, but he wasn't even in town.It felt like something jolted into my throat, and sent a wrong impulse to travel all through my body. What could I do now? Who could help me out?Hard

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
BILLIONAIRES Seventy nine: Over.
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.
