Forget About Me, Billionaire 37: Order
CHRISTY:The meeting ended roughly two hours later. As much as I wanted everything to finish in only a minute, we had a lot of things to deal with. The next thing I knew, it was already late. I continued looking at my watch and phone. She had not returned my messages. When we were on Swiped, she always returned my messages, but now, it was rare.“Be safe on your way,” I exclaimed and ended the meeting shaking my business partner’s hands. “My secretary will update you on the progress.”“It was nice having business with you, Mr. Watson.”“You, too,” I retorted and waited until he was out of the restaurant. “It’s my pleasure, Mr. Smith.”I checked my phone again. No replies from Christina. She was not fond of replying. She could have at least replied to me. Was that too much to ask?She was always giving me a headache. She was stubborn. Defiant and won't even submit. I did not need full submission, but it would help if she would listen to me now and then. Her nostrils flared whenever s
Forget About Me, Billionaire 38: Everything is Wrong
CHRISTY:I felt Everette’s gaze on me, but I tried to pretend that it did not bother me at all. Little by little, his tears were making me unconscious, and it was too damn hard to pretend that I was not affected at all.“Remember when I said back then that I want to open a coffee shop where customers are also allowed to read whatever books they want while they are waiting for their orders?” Poppy’s eyes brightened as she played with Sebastian’s hands. “Oh, that one? Go for it. What are you waiting for? Bastian and I will always be at your back. We are always one call away, Poppy. Please remember that.”Poppy’s loyalty and friendship had already been tested since time immemorial and she was not the type who would leave me alone. When I ran away from my wedding…when my parents disowned me, she was the one who stood as my family. I chuckled, temporarily forgetting about Everette. “I think I need to plan for that. I still haven’t decided on the location, yet.”“There’s a two-story bui
Forget About Me, Billionaire 39: Also
CHRISTY:If Mom meddled, it only meant that she was up to no good. She was brewing with something I did not know at all and that was something I should be wary about.Everette did not know the woman behind that smiling face and I should protect him from Mom. Mom…how do I say it? She was good at dealing with people to the point that she could easily befriend them and when you lowered your guard, that was the time when he would strike.“Your Mom has been constantly texting me. Are you listening to me, kitten?”Everette snapped his fingers in front of my face.He did not know anything so I must pretend that there was nothing to be watched out for. I groaned inwardly. She must be planning something. “What did she say, Everette?” Maybe I will visit the mansion again? To have a chit-chat with Mom.“Nothing much. She was asking about you. If you are well.” Mom would never ask if I was still alive or not. “She also asked about our relationship. If you are taking care of me. If we are not fi
Forget About Me, Billionaire 40: Dangerous
CHRISTY:My hand started to get cold. After seeing how Everette’s mom looked at me, and how Clara hated me, it was enough to say I wouldn’t be going to their family dinner. Why would I pretend that I wanted to be there when in fact I did not? I was always not good at faking everything, especially when it comes to people. And I was certain his Mom would only want his child and was only forced to ask me to join because I was Everette’s plus one.“Kitten, Mom, and the rest of my family were already expecting us. The elders wanted to meet you.”Was he certain his Mom was included? I did not think so. “What’s the point of having that dinner?” To fake myself? To put myself on display for their judgments, I asked, stood, and went to look for a rug to clean the table. I put the peelings in the trash while shaking my head. I put up with going with him before because Poppy and Sebastian were there, waiting for us. But this so-called dinner? There was no Poppy. I would only put myself in an a
Forget About Me, Billionaire 41: Ben
CHRISTY: I must keep my distance around him or I will be crying in the end. For the nth time. Whenever I loved someone, it was I who always cried whenever we broke up. This man…if he kept on doing this, I should never be blamed if I fall for him.And if you truly fell for this man, what would happen to you? No one loved you for real, Christina. All they cared about was what you could offer to them in return and that was it.I wanted my heart to rest even for a bit. “Touch me and you are dead,” I threatened. He grinned from ear to ear. “Please don’t kill me, kitten. I have a lot of things to do. A lot will cry when I die.”Lucky him while I? No one would shed tears for me when I left this world. It was only Poppy and Kelly and their baby. “This feels like a date,” I commented all of a sudden without thinking about it and it was already too late when I realized what I just said.My cheeks flamed and I just wanted to hide under the table. Everette gave me his signature warming smil
Forget About Me, Billionaire 42: Ben (Part 2)
CHRISTY: It took a few rings before Ben picked up the call. Then, his face flashed in. His once neat face already looked like a lawn with tall grass. His eyes told me he had not experienced a life full of luxury. It was tiring as if he was barely hanging. But the most important part was that he was well.Before, I was already imagining what our meeting would be like after he ran away. I imagined I would hate him for leaving me, but maybe it was only because of my emotions. Now…I felt relief that he was well and alive. Still…there was an ounce of some emotions which I could not pinpoint. “Hey,” Ben declared, hesitating. I did not know what I would say to him. Whether I would scold him for leaving me alone or scream at the top of my lungs until he realized what he had done. My hands trembled and forced my hands to steady. A long silence filled it. It was awkward and I did not know how to break it. There were a lot of things I wanted to ask, but I did not know where to start. “Hey,
Forget About Me, Billionaire 43: Kicked Out
CHRISTY:I almost had a heart attack when Everette suddenly talked. My heart beat wildly against my ribcage as I clutched my chest. In my irritation, I slapped him on his shoulders. “You nearly killed me. Do you hate me so much that you want to kill me?”He flinched but did not move away.He looked at me with a knotted forehead. “It was not my intention.”“It is your intention,” I answered. “Don’t do that.”He chuckled. “Rest easy, okay? I promise I will not scare you again.”Everette sat and yawned. “Are you done talking to your brother?”“His name is Ben.”He thought for a moment and said, “Ben? Why did your parents never mention him?”It was no longer a surprise after what happened. During the first family dinner with the family, Ben was not there, and the Watson family believed that I was an only child. “Isn’t it obvious? They did not want anything to do with him. They already disowned my brother after he ran away from his supposed obligations in the company. He ran because Mom
Forget About Me, Billionaire 44: Sent
CHRISTY:I thought I would be able to sleep since Everette was no longer sleeping beside me, but I was wrong. My mind kept on wondering if he was able to sleep on the couch. Shit. Was it my fault now? He was the one who thought I was a slut and that was one of the most painful things I could ever hear from someone. And I was not expecting it to hear from Everette whom I trusted so much.Still…was he comfortable on the couch? He had work to do and sleep was the best thing that he could do to regain his strength.I rolled on my back.I was always sensitive when it came to my ex-boyfriend, especially if someone thought I was a slut. They always reminded me of Mom who said I always spread my legs whenever I wanted to.I got out of bed.“I will only drink water,” I muttered to myself and sat on the bed. Then, I looked for my slippers stepped out of my room, and went downstairs while constantly saying I was only getting some water.Liar. You want to check on him. I am not. I did not care
