Captivated by Mr. Billionaire Chapter 33
After I finished proposing, I carried Jane back down to the first floor and walked out to the car to collect all the blankets, pillows, and the large picnic basket I had packed.Even though the house was completely bare down to its walls, without a single piece of furniture, I thought it would be romantic to stay in the empty castle all by ourselves for the night. It was one of the few moments where it was just Jane and me, not that I didn't enjoy little Theo's presence, but it was a rare moment where we could be as intimate as we'd like with each other.It was pretty dark by the time we came down, so I decided to stay near the living room fireplace and set up a fire to keep us warm through the night. Jane's eye's sparkled as the flames grew bigger and bigger until they reached a roaring fire.Although she tried to keep her voice quiet, I heard her mumbling about how it reminded her of a scene in one of her romance books where a couple snuck into a barn to hide from the rain and start

To say that my mother freaked out when she saw the ring on Jane's finger was an understatement.Since we had slept through breakfast and would most likely be too busy to eat much during the gala, I took Jane out for a big lunch before bringing her back to my apartment and ended up arriving 30 mins past the agreed-upon time with my mother. She was fuming when we finally arrived and was more than ready to give me an earful, but all of her anger instantly disappeared the moment Danary stepped in front of me and anxiously waved her hands in front of my mother, trying to calm her down.In less than a second, my mother's eyes zeroed in on the giant diamond ordaining Jane's finger and released such a high-pitched squeal that dogs down the block probably could've heard it.She bombarded Jane with a series of non-stop questions ranging from where the proposal occurred to the exact words of my proposal. She spoke so quickly that Jane's mind was visibly spinning, but my mother paid no mind to it

"Are you feeling better now, Liam?" A hand smoothed over his head, eliciting a soft hum from the said boy. "You know that she didn't mean you any harm, right? She was just very happy to meet you."Liam let out a clearly disgruntled but incoherent muttering before turning his head away from his mother.Jane sighed and continued to calmly stroke his head. "Cheer up, honey. I don't like seeing you upset."She really was such a good mother, even if she was a bit too nice for her own good at times. She always listened to Liam's side of things and tried to understand him before saying anything.Trying to take his mind off my mother's overly friendly and nearly deadly display of affection toward her first grandchild, I lightly nudged Liam's cheeks and offered, "If you want, I can tell my mother to not bother you because you want want to stay by Jane's side tonight. She can be a bit overbearing at times, but she'll still at least respect your wishes."He looked up at me hesitantly before glan

As expected, I had already found myself separated from Jane, not even halfway through the night. I must've been only able to stay by her sight for a good hour before I was pulled away from Jane by a group of my company's board members, families that have been allied with Cordova Industries since my great-great-great grandfather's time. And it didn't help that my father was part of the group of old geezers who were trying to pull me away from my Jane.With much coaxing on Jane's part and a promise to stay within my sight, she eventually managed to get me to detach myself from her.I reluctantly left her side and followed the others to the reserved upper balcony of the hall overlooking the entire floor.The old geezers had brought along their successors in hopes of showing off their sons. Some were bragging about how well their sons did in college, while others were talking about how their sons already took over a portion of their company but not without kissing up to my father, saying

Liam's voice grew louder as I stalked toward the crowd. Even if I couldn't make out his words, I could already tell how upset he was by just the tone of his voice."How dare you hurt Ms. Jane?!"The crowd immediately parted for me as I strode passed them with two guards trailing behind me.My mood was already bad after dealing that unconscious idiot upstairs and only dropped several degrees lower with this new fiasco. As such, most of the guests diverted their eyes, instinctively knowing not to test my temper in my current state.Some random woman's voice rang out from the center of the crowd."Who do you think you are accusing? You're clearly mistaken, young man. I am an elite woman who would never do such a lowly thing, so please take your tantrum elsewhere.""I'm not mistaken. I saw you do it!""Look here now, kid. There's no need to try to blame your embarrassment on me. Your mother is just not fit for upper society and tripped over her own two feet."Once I broke into the circle'

"Jane, I just finished putting Liam to bed," I called out softly from outside her bedroom door.We had just gotten back to Jane's house from the gala. It was pitch dark outside when we left, so I wasn't too surprised when Liam fell asleep in Jane's arms just minutes after we started driving.She didn't talk much on the entire way back, which made me worry that she might have regretted her original plan to marry me.The silence felt deafening.But that worry didn't last too long when she tiredly leaned against my arm halfway through the drive and mumbled in a half-awake state, "Thank you for standing up for me, Achilles."My heart warmed as she snuggled deeper into my chest in her half-conscious state, like how an exhausted kitten would curl up. I had carefully wrapped my arm around her shoulders, keeping her pressed firmly against my side until we got back to her house.By the time we arrived, she was already partially dozed off in my arms. I told my driver to wait outside for me as I

"Mr. Cordova, the board is ready for you in conference room 1."I nodded as I handed Joseph a folder of private paperwork and grabbed my phone. "Did my father decide to intrude on today's meeting as I expected?""Yes, he just messaged me an hour ago and told me to bring him a dark roast coffee with 1 creamer and 2 sugars."Of course, he did."That's fine. Just tell the baristas downstairs to bring one up for him and to leave it outside if we are in the middle of the meeting." I closed my laptop and handed it to Joseph. "Join me in the meeting room after you finish making a copy of those papers and leaving the original copy in my office."He raised an eyebrow in confusion but nodded in agreement anyway.After he left my office, I started to make my way to conference room 1 on the other side of the floor from my office.I planned to reorganize the hierarchy of the outer families at today's board meeting as I had announced at the gala, and it seems that my father had found out about my p

I stared at the empty office in confusion and glanced at my watch to double-check the time. It was just a few minutes past 6 PM, the time that I always made sure to reach her office by, especially after I completely missed it last week.Usually, every time I came to pick her up, Jane would always wait for me at her office in Benedict's building before our agreed-upon time; something about how I would make too much of a scene if I picked her up from the lobby. But she had never been late before, not even once.Her bags and coat were still here, so I knew that she was probably still somewhere in the building.Maybe one of her meetings was running overtime, or she simply forgot to tell me that she had something scheduled at this time.Nevertheless, I decided to wait inside her office, reasoning that it would be too early to panic about her absence yet and make a scene against her wishes. I plopped down the white bag of pastries and dessert that I picked up for my two sweet tooth darlings
