The Billionaire’s Lust Love

Our company will expand a new branch along with Steven’s participation since we’re having a partnership. It’s a big project so we’re working on it together.

“Mom, can I come with you?” my daughter entered my room while I was looking at my outfit today. I’m not wearing a business suit. I just wear denim jeans and I paired it with white long sleeves.

“Baby, mommy is going to work and it’s dangerous there for children so it’s safe for you to stay here with your nanny.”

“But mom. It’s boring here. Hivo is not here and dad is working too,”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

My youngest, called Vios ‘daddy’. I wonder if she will call Steven daddy too when I introduce him to her.

“Do you like calling your uncle Vios, dad?”

“Yes mom. He’s not just my uncle. He’s my papa forever and ever,” I just sighed and smiled. I went to her and held her hand.

“You’re not allowed to come with me. But mommy promise you that I’ll buy you fried chicken when I get home. That’s your favorite, right?”

“Yes mommy,”

“Aww.. my baby is so adorable,” I knelt down and kissed her cheeks.

I looked at her nanny to tell her to get Stefanny and bring her to her room.

I looked at my appearance again then left. I’m ready to go.

For the first time, Vios is not with me. He’s in the main branch now. He was supposed to be here but Steven requested that I should come alone. And I think it’s a better idea for me to know his reason behind those decisions he made.

“What do you want?” I asked when I got out of the car. Steven was there already and waiting for me.

“Why? Am I not allowed to wait for you here? Where’s your thanks? I waited you I here under the scorching sun.”

“If it’s hot here, then you shouldn’t have wait for me,”

“You’re hot, babe. Do you need anything today?”

“Don’t talk to me Steven. I’m not in the mood,”

“Hmm.. Someone’s having a bad day,” he whispered but I just ignored it. When we arrived at the site, Engr. Castro and Archi. Delos Reyes were already waiting for us.

“Hello ma’am, by the way, I’m Bryan Castro,” Steven’s cleared his throat.

I smiled at Engr. Castro and accepted his hand. Ms. Delos Reyes on the other hand is trying to flirt Steven.

“I’m Ms. Loverio,” I said to the architect.

“Hello Ms. Loverio. I’m Angel Delos Reyes,” she smiled but I hate her guts.

“Hello Mr. Alvante. It’s so nice to meet you,”

She’s rude. She withdrew her hand from my grip to turn to Steven.

“Hello Ms. Delos Reyes. It’s nice to meet you too,” Steven said when the architect introduced herself to him. I rolled my eyes at them.

We need to wear safety our hats before entering the site.

“Ms. Loverio,”

“What?”

“Please wear this coat,”

“It’s hot, why should I wear that?”

“You’re wearing long sleeves but look at the silk. I can see your undergarment in the daylight.”

“It’s really hot. Don’t you understand?”

“Are you going to wear it? Or I will lock you inside my car until nightfall?”

My eyes widened. This man is crazy.

“And I’m not joking,” he added with a very serious face.

I immediately put on his coat afraid he’ll lock me up inside the car.

We met all the laborers and we also had a thorough conversation with Engr. Castro on the construction deadline.

When I feel tired, I sat on the plastic chair and wiped the sweat from my forehead with a handkerchief.

Steven approached.

“Are you hungry?” he asked. I nodded because I only ate a sandwich for breakfast.

“Let’s eat. Can you still stand?” he asked.

“No,” I admit. “My feet hurts,”

“Wait here babe,” he said

He left for a moment. I do not know where he go. A few minutes later, he returned with a pair of slippers.

He knelt down to take off the heels I’m wearing.

“I c-can do it by myself,”

“Let me do this babe. Please..”

I bit my lip when a memory came back to the time when I pretended as his maid.

After removing my stilettos, he immediately put on the two slippers.

“Let’s go so we can eat,” he said.

We went to the eating house nearby and he’s the one who offered to order our foods.

I’m expecting he ordered meat but he ordered a lot of vegetables. I still remember that he called it grass.

I looked at him a bit surprised.

“What?”

“Why there are vegetables? You don’t like it, right?”

“No babe. I like it. It’s my favorite actually. All the things or food that can remind me of you, I’ve gotten to like it.”

I’m speechless. I don’t know how to react. Should I be happy? I don’t know.

“Umm… Can I take you to your place? I just want to see our son,”

If I agree, he will know about Stefanny. I will introduce Stefanny to him but I don’t think it’s a right time yet. There is still a lot to fix and I don’t want to involve my children in everything.

I chose to keep everything a secret from him and I will keep it until the threat to our lives disappears.

“I’m sorry but you can’t. But I’ll bring him here. Maybe it’s time for you to explain everything to him,”

“To be honest, I hate you. Why are you acting this way? Didn’t you push me away?” he just looked at me. There was sadness in his eyes.

“I’m sorry babe. I can’t explain it right now,”

I don’t know why or what Lia did. I want to know but I can see the fear in his eyes.

“Then I’ll wait for you to tell me everything,”

“Thank you for your understanding. Just wait me a little, everything will be over and I will get you and Hivo back,”

I feel like I’ve lost my appetite. I felt his hand on mine. He’s holding it but I took it back. Everything will not disappear with one touch. If he wants to make up for it, he should start by explaining to me.

“By the way, your son emailed you and you just replied with hurtful words,”

“WHAT?! WHEN?”

“You replied him with hurtful words, Steven. He was hurt and crying. He reported it to me. If only I had been narrow-minded, that very day, I would have bombed you,” I said without even blinking.
