ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Manipulation Game
Laurel was astonished, what the hell was Adonis talking about? Her facial expression reverted into a confused stare, maybe she didn’t very much hear what he said. “What was that?” She asked, staring at Adonis, she was absolutely perplexed. “You heard me, Laurel. It’s not a big deal, it’s a fake marriage,” Adonis responded, like it was nothing. He moved his chair forward and leaned on her desk. Still bewildered, Laurel scoffed; what kind of a man was he? He kept doing and saying things that were completely inappropriate. And the worst part was it felt completely normal to him. “I need you, Laurel. I’m begging. I’m a proud man, Laurel, you’d never ever see me beg anyone this way, not to talk of my sister’s employee,” Adonis pleaded. He was pleading but he didn’t really sound like he was pleading. “I can’t help you, Adonis. I mean why the hell would you want to fake a marriage?” Laurel hadn’t gone past her bewilderment. Even though there was no way in hell would she do such a thing
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Wrong Thoughts [A short Chapter]
Laurel fought back the tears that were threatening to fall off her eyes, it was too early to burst into tears. She shouldn’t really have allowed Adonis into her office, but how could she have known? This was the first time she was hearing something about any property, and the timing was definitely not coincidental. She really hoped in her heart that Tony didn’t make her his fiancée just to acquire his father’s properties. Despite the fact that she trusted him so much, she couldn’t deny the fact that what she just heard was troubling every fibre in her body; until she heard from Tony, she’d be restless. Laurel sniffed, and slowly raised her head up. She fought back the tears, but her eyes were a little teary. “What’s wrong? Laurel. Did I say something bad?” Adonis was surprised with the way she looked when she raised her head up. There was nothing he said that could make her feel bad, or does she know something he doesn’t? Lilian knew nothing about this, so he could have said maybe L
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Speechlessness
Adonis’s angry face turned into despair. He took a few steps backwards and continued looking at Laurel, he was confused and flaggerbasted at the same time. Two things were baffling him; the coincidence, and how the hell Laurel knew the man was his step brother. He hadn’t even met the man. “How the hell did you know he was my step brother?” That was the first question Adonis asked, he needed to clarify that first. “You know the man, or let me say, you’ve bumped into him once, you just didn’t know he was your step brother, since you two have never met. It’s Tony, Lilian’s divorced husband,” Laurel felt a little bit embarrassed as she revealed who her fiancée was. She knew all this wouldn’t be a secret for long, very soon, Lilian would know all what was going on and so many things would happen. A surprise after another for Adonis, he couldn’t believe what he was hearing, that was his step brother at the car wash that day? Although he didn’t take a good look at him, well, why would h
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Close Encounters
Laurel felt a huge thud on her chest. What the hell was Lilian doing here? Lilian had never visited her office unannounced, she hadn’t even visited her normally in the first place. One trouble just left and another was replacing it immediately, Laurel was frustrated, but she knew she had to let Lilian in if she didn’t want any suspicion from her. It’d be a miracle if she hadn’t bumped over Adonis on her way here. “Okay, send her in, thank you.” After like twenty seconds of extreme silence, Laurel replied as normal as she could. However, the secretary knew something wasn’t right, but that wasn’t her concern. Laurel adjusted herself, she was glad she hadn’t burst into tears a few minutes ago, Lilian would have known that something was up, speaking of which; she already knew if she actually bumped into Adonis. Laurel could only hope she didn’t. There was a slight knock on the office door, and Laurel called for the visitor to come in. Lilian walked in, wearing a flowery armless gown,
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Issues
Lilian was still surprised and speechless while Laurel booted her computer, she just couldn’t imagine that Adonis could do such a thing and more Importantly, to her best friend. Was that the main reason he wanted to marry her also? That would mean they were both playing with each other, but the fact that she wanted his money was primary, she also did love him. However, not as genuinely as she’d love Tony at the beginning. After a few seconds of being surprised at the unexpected news, Lilian would still have liked it even if he did that to her. But what was bugging her was, why Laurel? It gave a hint that they’d be talking to each other. Something was happening that she didn't know about. “Why’d he choose you? Have you two gotten that close?” Laurel looked up at her without removing her hands from the keyboard, she had told Lilian that it was just going to be one sentence and that she should leave after that; but she expected this anyway, and if she tried to force Lilian out, she mi
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR The Tears of Misunderstanding
“I’m not doing that, Lily. Not ever,” Laurel rejected outrightly, even if she wasn’t dating Tony presently, there was a high possibility that she still wouldn’t do it. It was so surprising that her own best friend was trying to use her to get back into a relationship with a man that dumped her; what the heck had come over Lilian, Laurel thought. “I do not understand why you’re fussing about this, you’re not doing it for yourself, do it for me, Laurel. You’ve got nothing to lose, it’s a fake marriage for God’s sake!” “I’ve my dignity, Lilian. I won’t rub myself on the ground just to get you back on track with a man that doesn’t even love you. What’s wrong with you, Lily? What has money done to you?” Laurel was amazed at her friend. Lilian was doing the most and if left alone, she could do something horrible just to get back with Adonis. “Are you saying you won’t help me, Laurel?” Lilian asked, looking into Laurel’s eyes. Her only chance was beginning to slip off her hands. “Not t
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Secrets and Plans
L“What are you talking about, Tony?” Laurel asked, amidst the tears. Was he talking about Lilian’s child? Or a child she’d give birth to in the future. “I’m going to keep the baby, Laurel, and I want you to take care of the child like it’s yours,” Tony opened up, a small smile appearing on his face and his green eyes glowed in excitement. Mixed feelings swept through Laurel, she didn’t know whether to be able or sad. At first she had always thought that if Tony didn’t accept the child, he would have to visit Lilian to see the baby regularly which would make her feel insecure. On the other end, if somehow he got custody of the child, Lilian would be the one coming to see her baby, which might still slightly make her feel insecure. At this point, her trust for her own best friend was near zero. “How’d you do it?” Laurel asked, using the hankie Tony had given her to wipe her tears off her cheekbones and eyes. “Katerina came to see me,” Tony waved for a waiter, he was starving. “Ka
ANTHONY MARCELLUS, THE SECRET BILLIONAIRE HEIR Pre-Burial Preparations
Rose Mack was one of Lilian’s friends in college, although they weren’t that close. Laurel also knew her. Rose was the kind of girl that loved being around boys, it was rumoured in college at one point that everybody in class had slept with Rose. Just like everybody would have predicted, Rose didn’t get anything off her education; she was now a bartender in one of those old bars in the middle of the city. However, Lilian knew she wasn’t just a bartender. “What’s the deal, Lily? By the way, it’s been so long, I was shocked when I saw your call,” Rose had a quick tongue, and it always seemed she was speaking too fast. “I wasn’t sure you’d come, this was a surprise,” Lilian confessed, someone she hadn’t spoken to for a very long time and all she did was put a call through to her and she was sitting inside her car an hour later. “You mentioned that it’d involve a whole lot of money, that’s what brought me here, Lily, nothing else.” Rose giggled, she was outspoken and didn’t really car
