The Billionaire’s Temptation 43. Sweet morning
OliviaMy eyes opened to Logan playing with a strand of my hair as he smoothed it in a calming way. “Good morning,” I mumbled with a yawn escaping me.“Good morning, baby,” Logan leaned forward and planted a kiss on my lips that lasted barely two seconds. My head rested on his bare chest. I felt my cheeks heat up. Getting a kiss in the early morning surely sent butterflies fluttering in my stomach, especially after the way Logan and I had spent the night. It wasn't like we had sex. Logan had said he didn't want to hurt the baby. Even though I assured him that having a single round of sex wouldn't harm the baby in any way, he didn't listen and instead held me close in his warmth, and that was how we slept.“How long have you been up?” I asked as I looked at him. His hand was still playing with my hair, and I found it to be a soothing remedy for my exhausted self.“Not long ago. I couldn’t resist admiring a beauty,” he said, making me raise an eyebrow.“What beauty?”“Your beauty, of co

OliviaWe decided to make scrambled eggs with spinach and cheese. I was in awe at the way Amelia expertly whipped up scrambled eggs with a twist. She sautéed fresh spinach in a pan until wilted and mixed it into the scrambled eggs, adding a generous sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Maybe if she had opted for a chef, she’d have won an award, just like Logan. A smile erupted from me as I recalled the night we cooked the shrimps and crabs together. I think that was the first day Logan and I started getting along.“Why don’t you just opt for a cooking competition? I’m sure you’d win on your first try,” I said, watching how she expertly lifted up the pan.“Should I?” she replied, her lips curving up. I nodded my head. “You will definitely win,” I confessed. Sarah pushed her body in between, separating me from Amelia.“Let me have a taste,” she said, using the spoon to fetch a portion from the big casserole where Amelia had plated everything.“This is nice,” she moaned, closing her eyes
The Billionaire’s Temptation 45: Plan in action
Olivia “So, what do you guys suggest we start with?” I asked. We had gathered for our first meeting in Amelia’s room. It was my first time entering another part of the house apart from Logan’s room, the library, and my own room. Amelia’s room carried the aura of a doctor. The medium-sized shelf consisting of all sorts of medical books was enough to give away that information. And there was also another rack carrying a medical box. I had scanned the surroundings in less than five minutes.“I think we should begin by sharing our insights on the root of the problem first, and then we can come up with a reasonable plan. What do you think, Amelia?” Sarah clarified, her eyes darting from me to Amelia.“You’re right. The root of the problem is simple: Father,” Amelia declared. Sarah and I nodded in agreement, acknowledging that she was right. What I appreciate about Amelia is her straightforwardness. She speaks her mind. It was evident when I first came to the house. She was straightforward
The Billionaire’s Temptation 46. Cheesy Logan
Olivia "So, he's finally here." The doctor's voice broke the silence that had occupied the room for the past few minutes. I couldn't help but notice the amused smile playing at her lips as she and Logan exchanged a glance. She had wanted me to bring my partner along, and there he was, seated in front of her."Yes," I replied, redirecting her attention back to me."I see why you've been coming here alone. You didn't tell me that Logan Nero is your husband."Ah, so that's why she had been looking at him that way. For a moment, I had almost thought she was checking him out in a different manner. Olivia, get a grip. The doctor is obviously not a single woman. And besides, Logan is someone popular, so it's okay for her to know."Sorry for not tagging along all this while. My wife told me you needed my presence," Logan responded calmly. I couldn't help but sense a puzzled look on his face. He had been teasing me to no end on our way here."Actually, it's no problem since you're here, Mr. N
The Billionaire’s Temptation 47. Taming Scott
Amelia "Nurse Elena, I'm sure you guys would be able to handle the work without me. Doctor Jordan is there, isn't he?" I pointed out. Nurse Elena and I work together at the hospital. She had called to complain about the workload the head doctor was giving them. Normally, I was the one who always backed them up whenever Doctor Samuel, the head doctor, decided to let his demons show.The man is the epitome of rudeness. He snaps at every little thing. I don't blame him though, since the hospital belongs to his elder brother, so he thinks he can control the people around him. However, my case was different. I don't allow him to step on me or any other person from the higher-ups. I have been working at the hospital for three years straight with no rest. Now that I decided to cut myself some slack, they still didn't want to allow me. The only person that will snap at me and I would be okay with it, is Doctor Jordan. I'd call him my mentor because he had helped me in every possible way at t

Sarah"Hey, Erica," I positioned the phone on the vanity mirror as the face of my cousin appeared on the screen."Sarah! What pleasure do I owe you today? You finally decided to check up on your cousin," she said, plopping on her couch. Her cat's face occupied the screen."Eww! Take him away!" I spat, reaching for the hair cream and dabbed it on my palm. I didn’t even know why I was holding it in the first place. It’s not like I’ve washed my hair."You can't do anything about my cat. He’s the only one keeping me company while Luke is away." I resisted the urge to roll my eyes. Erica’s cat had been with her since it was a little kitten. Now the cat has matured into a big cat. Erica is my cousin from my mother’s side, and also one of my favorites. I have a lot of cousins. Some I don’t even know existed until the end-of-year family gathering. I’d see new faces. I don’t really mind. At least we form a bond during that time of the year.Erica got married to the love of her life, Luke, two
The Billionaire’s Temptation 49. Costa Rica
OliviaI was confident in the plan we had laid out to get the men to go on the trip, but I didn’t expect it to happen so fast. What shocked me even more was that Mr. Nero was going to be among the people going on the trip. In short, we had a full house. That really warmed my heart in every possible way. It meant that all my efforts in the past to bring the family together weren't in vain. Maybe, time was what they needed.Preparations had already been made. Everyone had packed their bags, ready for the trip to Costa Rica, which we'd be leaving for in an hour or so. “Olivia, I need your help,” came Sarah’s voice as her head appeared through my door.“What kind of help? Come in.” I ushered her inside. We had gone shopping earlier in the morning. The number of outfits Sarah and Amelia had bought couldn’t be measured. It was as if they were going to be there for a month. I didn’t buy too many outfits myself, although Amelia and Sarah had convinced me to buy three sets of lingerie.I felt
The Billionaire’s Temptation 50. His scars
Olivia"Listen, ladies." I clapped my hands together, gaining the attention of Amelia and Sarah. We were seated on the suite balcony, having a group tea after finishing one of the best meals at the restaurant. The two ladies couldn't resist teasing me relentlessly about the amount of food I had eaten. Don't blame me; I wasn't having the massive appetite for myself alone. I have another life growing inside me.Nevertheless, the teasing from Amelia and Sarah was nothing compared to the way Logan had handled the situation. I felt like the ground should have swallowed me whole. He was the one who had initiated that I eat plenty, even feeding me in the presence of the family. I know we're not doing anything wrong, but he could've at least hidden his pleasure. "By the looks of the atmosphere earlier, the family are enjoying themselves," I said.Sarah took a sip of her tea and leaned back. "I hope so. Did you see the way Father was all calm? He even made small talk with Quinn and Molly, whic
