SECRET BILLIONAIRE Chapter 21
"What?" Marcus asked, his tone laced with surprise."What do you mean he rejected the proposal? What didn’t he like about it?" Emily pressed."In his own words, everything. He called it garbage—the worst proposal he’s ever read, and trust me, he’s read some terrible ones," the secretary replied dismissively.Just then, the elevator doors opened, and a group of men and women stepped out, taking seats in the waiting area."But I personally oversaw my secretary drafting that proposal! I proofread it thoroughly afterward. It’s flawless!" Marcus argued, frustration evident in his voice."This is a solid business plan. It’s for the orphanage, and it would benefit your investment company as well," Emily added, trying to reason with the secretary."I’m not the boss, Miss Walsh. He’s made his decision," the secretary replied curtly.Marcus’s anger flared. "How dare he tarnish the Roberts family name? He should respect our reputation!" he shouted, drawing the attention of everyone in the room.

"I can't marry you, Benjamin."Emily said, staring at the small box in front of her with cold eyes.She had not expected him to go this far. Getting married to him was just going overboard for her.Not when her business was at the brink of a breakthrough.Benjamin stared at her in confusion."I don't understand, Emily. We've been together for three years. Why are you rejecting my proposal?" He asked."The gap between us has grown too wide, Benjamin." She explained to him.Benjamin didn’t know how to respond. It was unbelievable."Every couple has differences. The point is, you love me, and I love you. We have been working it out." Benjamin said to her, trying to be reasonable.Emily hesitated for a while, before leaning forward on the desk."How do I put this in a way that you will understand?""Let’s go straight. You now don’t have enough money to support my business. It’s just too much of a burden.""Burden?" Benjamin repeated in disbelief.The word hit him like a slap. Yes, they

Benjamin stood inside the elevator, a heavy weight pressing against his chest.After everything he had done behind the scenes to support her, she had tossed off their relationship like toilet paper.His sharp grey eyes glowed with restrained anger. A storm he had learnt to control over the years.Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out the small, dull red box, which he had offered to Emily for his proposal.He flipped it open, and a shiny red stone dazzled as it caught the elevator light.The Dragon's Eye.A red diamond so deep, so vivid, it looked like the eye of a dragon.It was a masterpiece, worth a staggering 10.5 million dollars. Rare. Irreplaceable. Even Strat Corporation couldn’t dream of affording. Not to rent, let alone own.Benjamin stared at it for a moment, then snapped the lid shut. His fist tightened around the box.A buzzing in his pocket snapped him out of his thoughts. His phone vibrated insistently.He answered after glancing at the screen. "Hello?" His penetrating

The commotion began to attract the attention of both Strat corporation’s employees and visitors.Eyes locked onto the stunning, rare diamond ring laying inside the box in Benjamin's hand.Murmurs and whispers swirled through the crowd.Someone recognized it."Oh, my goodness, is that really The Dragon’s Eye?!" As soon as this sentence comes out, the whisper in the crowd becomes louder!The Dragon’s Eye! Literally every girl's dream."Impossible!!""How did he get his hands on that?" A person in the crowd commented."This is unbelievable." Another murmured.Marcus’s eyes locked on the red box in Benjamin’s hand.Greed and jealousy flickered in his gaze.He stepped closer, closing the distance."There was no way you get this diamond!" "Come on, spit it out! Where did you really get it?"Benjamin frowned, his patience wearing thin."I bought it."Marcus let out a sharp laugh."You bought it? Yeah, right!”“You couldn’t afford a single speck of dust from this gem!”“You must’ve stolen i

His eyes skimmed over the phone in his hand. It had been ringing shrilly for quite some time. He was seating in a Rolls-Royce headed to the VIP ward.He didn’t want to answer, but she didn’t let up. Finally, he sighed and picked up."What is it, Emily?" Benjamin's deep voice sailed through the phone.Emily frowned when she heard the tone. It was too calm and indifferent. He did not even act as though he had done anything wrong."Where are you, Benjamin? How did you get your hands on the Dragon's Eye?" She asked in a panicking tone."What do you think?" He asked her back. “Did you steal it or rob it?” Emily’s voice turned to be serious. “Listen, you need to turn yourself in and explain to the proper authority.”“I didn’t steal it, Emily,” Benjamin said flatly. “I have nothing to confess.”Emily couldn’t hide her disbelief.“You don’t have to lie to me! We’ve been together for 3 years. I’ve never seen you wear a decent watch, much less own something as rare as that. Do you realize how

Benjamin and Amanda rushed into the room, where a young girl lay on the hospital bed, barely in condition.The doctors surrounding her wore grim expressions, clearly at a loss. They’d tried everything, but nothing worked.On the other side of the bed, a tall, striking woman held the girl’s hand.“Oh! I recognize her!” Amanda whispered urgently into Benjamin’s ear, her voice barely audible but filled with surprise. “That’s the daughter of my dad’s friend. I know her. I thought she was the one who needed medical help. But now it looks like it’s her daughter.”Benjamin followed Amanda’s gaze, his eyes landing on the woman in question.Her name was Eileen Fisher, daughter of one of the wealthiest businessmen in the state. The Fisher family was famous for their numerous businesses and their link to the state's mineral wells.And it explained why they had Moonbloom. The rare herb only grew in the deepest parts of mines - places the Fisher family had access to like no one else.Eileen’d be

Benjamin didn't hesitate. He immediately stepped in, checking the girl’s pulse.His expression darkened as he realized the toxins were spreading fast.If nothing was done, she wouldn’t survive."The toxins are moving too quickly. We need to do a bloodletting and transfusion right now to detoxify her." He said urgently."Are you insane? That would kill her!" Antonio scoffed.Benjamin shot him a hard look."What’s killing her right now is doing nothing! The toxins are killing her. We have no time!"“Who will donate the blood?”Eileen asked with panic, “We’ve already tested, and there’s no match.”“You.” Benjamin turned to her." Excuse me? Are you out of your mind? Everyone knows that an immediate relative can't be a direct donor!" Eileen yelled out."There is a way around that. Just trust me." Benjamin urged." This is madness, Mrs. Eileen. I have been practicing for years. This method defies all medical logic! If you go through with this, it could kill her. Her body might reject it! "

Eileen insisted handing the black card to Benjamin."You should take it. Don't worry, it is merely a “tip.” She insisted.Benjamin still shook his head."I’d rather not, Mrs.Eileen."Amanda interjected from the side."I know you have more important concerns than money. And that is why she insisted. This isn’t just cash, Benjamin. You won’t refuse the appreciation, right?"‘The real value is in the status and power it holds.’ Amanada thought to herself.Anyone holding this black card essentially carried the endorsement and friendship of the Fisher family.It grants them a certain level of access to the influence and resources of the Fisher's.Benjamin finally took it.On his way from the hospital, Amanda offered to drive him back."I really appreciate what you did today. It is not as though I had any doubts or anything." She smiled at him.She paused, then added, “Hey, there’s a fundraiser outside of town. You should come. I’m headed there now.”"No, I'm good. You know I don’t like thi

"He did that? How dare he! Why would Benjamin touch my brother?" Emily freaked out. She picked up her phone and dialed his number but he refused to pick up.The phone rang severally but there was no answer."He isn't picking up. I apologize for this, mother and I assure you that I will get to the bottom of this." Emily muttered and stormed up the company stairs.Disconcerted and upset about Benjamin's actions, she walked into her office and tried calling him again via her office phone, but there was still no response.Shortly, her personal phone rang out, and she picked it up hoping it was Benjamin, but it turned out to be Marcus Roberts."Emily darling, where are you? We were supposed to meet in front of Mr. Dean Wilde's company building." He said to her."I'll be right there." She replied.Hurriedly, she picked up a few documents and rushed out of the office. Emily met Marcus in front of the Sky Line Company building."What took you so long? We almost missed him." Marcus complained.

She ended up nodding in agreement.As she glanced around the hospital, the elevator ahead of them opened, and a tall, handsome middle-aged man with white hair stepped out."Good morning, Sir.""Good morning, Doctor Greg," some of the junior nurses and doctors greeted him.He was the managing director of Clear View Hospital, the largest hospital in New York City, where they currently were."Hello, Mr. Moore," the director acknowledged Benjamin warmly.He was quite familiar with Benjamin but also aware that Benjamin preferred to keep his identity private.After all, Benjamin was one of the hospital's major partners, and the director held him in high regard."Hello, Doctor Greg. I truly appreciate your help and support in caring for my mother," Benjamin said to him.Doctor Greg shook his hand professionally and nodded politely."It’s no trouble, Mr. Moore. Here at Clear View Hospital, we do our best to provide the utmost care. After all, we are the best in the city," he replied."Shall w

Matthew pulled out another knife again and spun it in his hand. "It seems you do not like how calm and reasonable I have been. We will have to resolve this using force!"He launched himself at Benjamin with the knives in his hand. But Benjamin smoothly sidestepped his attack, which left Matthew to stumble down the sidewalk.Upset that Benjamin had embarrassed him like that, he launched at him again from behind. However, Benjamin caught his arm and twisted his arm until one of the knives fell out of it."You bastard! Let me go!" Matthew yelled out angrily, struggling under Benjamin's strong grip. He successfully pulls out of it and tries to attack him again, Benjamin grabbed Matthew's arm and began slapping him across his face, before delivering a powerful kick to his abdomen, which sent Matthew spiraling across the coal tar."Oh my goodness!" Mrs Walsh exclaimed and rushed over to where Matthew lay, sprawled on the floor."Somebody get me a doctor, please! This man just beat my s

"What about Marcus? Didn't he offer to help?" Celine asked, but before Emily could reply, her phone began to ring.Emily placed the phone to her ear and a familiar masculine voice came over the speaker. It was her Finance officer."Miss Emily, how are you doing today?" He asked her."Not so good. My projects haven't gotten off the ground yet. Tell me, did you find anything?" She asked him."I have good news for you. A benefactor called this morning and insisted on buying the majority shares you placed on sales for your father's company. He seems like a wealthy man and might also be able to help you get your projects off the ground.""What? Really!" Emily screamed out excitedly."Yes." Her finance manager replied."When does he intend to make the payments?" She asked him."Well, he said he would discuss that personally with you when you both meet to finalize the assets procurement." The manager replied."That sounds great! I think we can work with that." She replied happily. She put th

"I'm sorry, Stella. We have to return the money we got from the receiver during the home's auction land that has already been bought." Emily said over her office phone the next morning."The residents only did that because they thought that with their donation and mine, we could pull up a reasonable amount of money to acquire the land, but..."The door to Emily's office opened and shut alarmingly, and Reuben rushed into it with his phone in hand.Emily looked up from the call, surprised by his barging in. "Let me call you back, Stella." She put down the phone."Marcus! Is there a problem?" She asked, frowning at him."Far from it. I finally figured out how that son of a bitch got to donate." He replied ecstatically.Emily bit her bottom lip and twisted her ball pen, a bit agitated by the thought of Benjamin's issues again."Okay? What did you find then?" She asked him."I just got a call from a very reputable source. He told me that this guy was the one who paid for the land." He hand

She turned to him, eager to take his mind off Emily."So, what are your plans for the land now? I mean, you are the new owner of the land." She asked, in a teasing tone.But Benjamin's expression remained serious."I don't have any plans for it. The only reason I acquired that land is to return it to the retirement home." He murmured in a thick tone."Really? But, that was such a huge amount of money. A lot of investors would be competing to sponsor you right now for whatever project you come up with." She replied, confused."I thought that was what you wanted to do. I thought you were interested in giving it back to the nursing home, the same as Emily." He inquired.Amanda frowned at him. "Please do not compare me to your delusional, money-hungry ex-girlfriend." She replied sassily."Don't do that. Don't sass Emily, okay? I don't appreciate that." He replied calmly yet firmly.Amanda rolled her eyes and turned her gaze away from him. Benjamin noticed that she was upset about it and d

"That's enough. Let him have this round. The payment has already been made." Benjamin muttered.His show of confidence surprised Amanda greatly. How had he managed to remain calm all that while? Watching Emily and Marcus humiliate him?She wondered, all of it just made her respect and love for him grow even more."I apologize for any misconception, Mr. Benjamin." The host announced."Whatever problems or doubts anyone has about the payments made in Mr. Benjamin's name, can be taken up with the appropriate financial institution. But from the information received, the payments are legit and cannot be disqualified.""As for now, the new owner of the Retirement home is Mr. Benjamin Moore." He added and walked off the stage.Commotion struck through the crowd as the guests filed out of the hall. Marcus, still furious from the embarrassment remained of the opinion that something was not right."I honestly smell a rat and I insist that we find out who really donated that money." He comained

"I would like to put an end to the tension and inform you all that my family and I have agreed to support miss Emily Walsh here with a sum of five million dollars in additional donation.""To end the bids for the night." He smiled to himself proudly, as the audience echoed his sentiment and praise."Amazing.""He is such a supportive man, " whispered some of the women. The crowd continued to buzz wildly with gossip.Until the host cleared his throat into the microphone, indicating absolute silence. The room went quiet as he spoke."That is lovely! I think it is inevitable at this moment, except Miss Williams would like to make a counter bid..." The host inquired.Amanda looked around the room expecting her assistant to hurry with the donations information she had made in Benjamin's name.Marcus Roberts and Celine exchanged knowing looks with themselves and Emily, believing that her victory was inevitable at that point.But suddenly, just as they were about to celebrate their victory,
