Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 52
Valerie's POVFred and Brenda are the only ones who know that I am a virgin. No one else knows. Not even my mother. Because of the wild parties Brenda and I go to and the fact that I had a boyfriend, she must have assumed that I have lost my virginity.She never asked me but I know that is what she thinks. She is my mother yet she doesn't know a lot about me.If only Mother knows, I will think she told Ryan this behind my back but Mother doesn't know so who did?"You can't have sex with someone you don't love but you never had sex with Fred and you two have been together for years. Don't you love him?""Ho..w..how did you know that?" I find myself stammering as I ask him with intense curiosity."How I know doesn't matter, does it?""It does", I retort back, desperate for him to answer me.Silence ensues, except for the loud beating of my heart which I can hear. I continue to watch him, anticipating the answer to the question I asked him."I will answer you", he drops his hand from hi

Ryan's POVCelina has been blowing my phone up with calls for days. She never had a reason to call me all this while but seeing me again after so many years with a woman I call wife must be so bothersome for her.Valerie does not need to know who she is. Her topic annoys the shit out of me. I wonder how she got my number. She never called me once and then all of a sudden, she starts to call.When she first called and I heard her voice even before she introduced herself, I quickly hung up and I haven't been picking ever since then.This morning when she called, I blocked her from reaching me. She is too annoying and I blame her for Valerie's recent coldness.I have no one to blame. I don't want to believe that my offer is what is making her so cold. So Celina is at fault. It's been days already since I took her to the garden and she has been ignoring me on purpose. She has been spending the night at the hospital with her dad but last night, she came home and slept in her room.I he
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 54
Valerie's POVFather is refusing to answer all my questions. I gave him enough time before bombarding him with the questions but his aloofness shows how much he doesn't want to talk about it.Now, I am sure he knows something. I am sure he is either hiding something or he wants to protect Ryan's father just because he is my father-in-law.Just like Ryan said, how can we help him if we don't know what they had in the past?I try to touch him to see if I can persuade him once more when the door opens without a knock.I turn to the door to see Mother come in with a huge smile on her face. "Guess who is here?" She beams in excitement as she stretches her arms toward the ajar door and it reveals Ryan.I don't know if it's from my imagination or if Ryan is really looking upset tonight. His jaws are clenched and he is looking at me with a sort of new gaze that I can't point out.He enters fully and closes the door behind him.I didn't tell him that Father would be discharged today but I gue
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 55
Valerie's POVFinding out a huge part of my life like this is something I never want Mother to know about. I never gave it serious thinking. I just assumed she wouldn't mind as long as her goals were achieved.But seeing her mouth still hanging open, I feel ashamed of myself and I wish she didn't get to eavesdrop on my conversation with Ryan.It is embarrassing.It is as embarrassing as letting Ryan know that I am still a virgin, despite all the wild parties and the silly things I have done in the past as well as my strong-headedness."A contract marriage?" She demands again, as though she still can not believe what she clearly heard. Finally, she shuts her mouth while I slouch to the bed with my head lowered down in shame.We shouldn't have done this here. "Valerie, talk to me. What did he mean by a contract marriage? Did you two sign a contract?" She grabs an ottoman and sits on it while she faces me squarely.I guess Ryan was still enraged to even answer yes or no to mom when she
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 56
Ryan's POVThe rage that fills me up even after apologizing to her is unexplainable. I can't explain the tightness in my chest and the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach.I can't even control my anger anymore as I grit my teeth while sitting down in front of the bar counter downstairs and drinking the combination of wine and whiskey in my glass cup.I wish this never happened. I wish I never told her how I felt, then maybe this wouldn't be happening.She is still in love with him. He is her boyfriend. Or rather he was her boyfriend before I came along.Perhaps, if she didn't get to know about the betrothal, she would have accepted his apology and accepted him back.I guess it's not so easy to get rid of her first love. I guess she misses how he used to kiss her."Shit!" I voice out, slamming my fist on the counter and groaning in pain.I never saw this coming. I didn't mean to be attracted but it just happened. I thought it wasn't a bad thing to be attracted to her since she is
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 57
Valerie's POVNetflixing for over two hours with a bowl of tasteless popcorn, I sigh deeply and take the phone and the cone of popcorn away.I am bored despite the movie. I have lost interest in almost everything and nothing seems to kill the boredom.Not even the popcorn.Maybe it's because it is tasteless.I am beginning to feel sick out of boredom. At first, I thought it was because I was in my room so I came over to Ryan's room so I could at least feel his presence but that only worked for a while because I am now dead bored.I need a walk.When I was unmarried and in a relationship with Fred, I barely felt bored but whenever I felt bored, the solution was easy.Fred. Or parties.I miss my old life. Not the relationship lifestyle but the enjoyable moments I had without having a cause to worry about anything.Now, I am not just worried about Ryan and me as well as our relationship but also worried about my Parents.Ryan is too cold for my liking. He is making me wish I never agreed
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 58
Ryan's POVI ache so desperately for the remaining months so she can go and I can be back to my normal self.This is what she wants. If she wanted to be gone, then maybe she will be out of my mind as well.I hate this pathetic feeling in me. With my hand entwined with hers, we run all the way home. As soon as we are inside the massive gate, I let go of her hand and begin to walk faster so I can get away from her and away from the longing I feel.When I step inside, I hurry towards the staircase. I need to get rid of these clothes and have a hot shower before going to bed.I get to my door, open it and enter before proceeding to remove my clothes. I am halfway done when the door opens again and Valerie comes in.I hear her locking the door from behind and I turn back. "What are you doing here?""I want to sleep", she answers indifferently and begins to take off her wet clothes too with her gaze still fixed on mine.When she is done taking off the jacket and her top, leaving her in jus
Betrothed To The Billionaire CHAPTER 59
Valerie's POVMany thoughts are running through my head while he sits calmly beside me, driving the car. I still haven't been able to comprehend his confessions. I still haven't been able to accept that my Mother is right this time.I haven't come to terms with what he said. Being nervous around men has never been my thing but for weeks, I have been extremely nervous around him and I try as much to avoid him.I know he wants answers but I have nothing to say to him. I just wished he never confessed his feelings to me and I am still as clueless as ever. I doubt if I can ever become comfortable with him again."Are you ok?" He demands with a voice thick in concern.I spare him a glance. He is watching me with a worried expression while driving expertly with his left hand. I don't think I have ever seen him drive himself."Yes", I nod and gulp down loudly before looking away.He must think I am nervous about the information I got this night which involves my father and his but that isn'
