The Billionaire's Trials 045: The Date.
After checking out the delivered package, Leo smiled and kept it away. He'd realized from the moment he got home that he was late. So they must have probably had dinner without him. He decided to go to bed after taking his shower.*************** The next morning, he woke up very early and left for work without even taking breakfast. Heaven woke up tired because she couldn’t sleep well. She kept thinking of how to sort things out with her friends and what to tell them. She stood up from the bed and walked to the bathroom. She checked her face in the mirror and noticed her eyes were a little puffy. “It’s so obvious.” she groaned and walked out of the bathroom. She just went back to the bed and laid down on the bed. When Leo got to the office, he went straight to the board meeting that was supposed to be held in the evening. “Sir here.” Jake said and handed the tab to him the moment he sat down in the meeting room. They proceeded with the meeting and within some minutes, t
The Billionaire's Trials 046: What Are You Wearing?
It was when he turned back to look at her that he realized that something was different about her. His eyes darted up and down, scrutinizing her departing figure. That's when it clicked in his head. Her clothes... He'd gotten used to seeing her in modest clothes that he had completely forgotten the first time they met. She was wearing an extremely revealing cloth then and she is doing the same now! He shook his head. He gets that they are at home and they can wear anything but does she have to wear such revealing clothes? If the stripes on her shorts had gone higher, it would have given a free display of her bum. Leo almost choked when he realized his train of thoughts. He looked away and pretended to cough. Even so... She is aware of the important event that is going on today. Does she have to dress that way? With this thought escaping into his mind, he hurried after her. He managed to catch up with her just before she began to descend down the spiraling stairs that had bee
The Billionaire's Trials 047: Very Special Guests.
"Of course, grandfather looks handsome. They had better not drool over you tonight cause I have also chosen a similar tux," Leo teased as he took James by hand and led him to the nearby couch. The room boomed with James loud laughter. "Silly boy... I'm too old for that." Leo looked like he wanted to refute James' words but the latter didn't give him a chance to do so. "Now that I remember... Leo, I was looking for you cause I wanted to inform you that I have invited some very special guests tonight," James' face turned serious with these words and Leo couldn't help but wonder who the 'VERY-SPECIAL-PEOPLE' were. "Okay," He gave a curt nod not knowing what to do with this piece of info. "So... You can't let anything go wrong at the party and you mustn't let any word anyone says to you get the best of you," Leo listened attentively to James advice. Why does this sound familiar? Didn't James also say the same thing when he was going to introduce him to Victoria and Heaven? "
The Billionaire's Trials 048: The Welcome Party (I)
Huh? Is there some kind of mistake here? She looked at the menu again. Why is every single dessert on the menu Leo's favorites!? She beckoned on the maid closer to her and asked,"Why...? Are these all the desserts set for the party? Is there some kind of mistake somewhere?" People nearby including Scott turned to look at her. The maid shook her head and replied in a calm voice like she had been instructed to,"No ma'am... Everything here has been personally chosen by our young master." A hush fell upon the room. Young master!? Which young master? Everyone in the room exchanged gazes in surprise. The room was only silent for a minute before it soon erupted with loud whispers of gossip. They could barely stop the excitement of finding out that the welcome party had been arranged for one young master. Mandy nodded at the maid with a fake smile and let her go. She looked around at the people murmuring and turned back to the menu. She checked the desserts section again. She chec
The Billionaire's Trials 049: The Welcome Party (II)
She doesn't understand why someone as old as her still displayed the familiar socialite wife behavior. One of the reasons why she hates family gatherings! She also didn't miss how her mother(Victoria) looked embarrassed with this statement. "Heaven dear," Heaven finally turned away, succeeding in stopping herself from marching to that grand-aunt of hers and giving her a piece of her mind! She turned to look at the woman that walked to her and held her hands with a soft smile. "Grandma Emily... Did pa force you to come here again? Alan told you about your health. I can't believe you told him to hide the secret from me!," Heaven displayed a genuine, worried look as she pouted and led the old woman to a nearby chair. This is Emily Greene who is married to Wave Greene, James' elder brother. Before I forget to mention... She is Heaven's favorite grandaunt. "Aiyo!," Emily exclaimed as she sat down. "I knew I shouldn't have trusted that grandson of mine to keep this away from you.
The Billionaire's Trials 050: The Welcome Party (III)
"Miles... Don't create a ruckus. There are guests everywhere. Keep your voice down," Wave gave his younger brother a hard stare and turned to James. He sighed as he looked at James. He really can't tell what this younger brother of his was thinking when he decided to introduce a stranger into the family's legacy. "Brother," James turned to Wave, completely ignoring Miles who didn't look too pleased by this. But the latter could only keep his anger in because their eldest brother had already warned him. Wave gave James a curious gaze, urging him to speak. He knows James wouldn't just do anything without a valid reason. "I'd like us all to talk about this in a different room... Away from all these guests," James glanced around quickly. He was quick to notice the guests that immediately faced their meals, pretending like they had been eating all along. No one spoke until Miles marched out of the room furiously, heading to the familiar sitting room in the house. Wave and James exchang
The Billionaire's Trials 051: The Welcome Party (IV)
Leonardo noticed that James only said grandson/grandchild but he didn't mention children. His mouth twitched with curiosity but he understands that this isn't the time and place to ask such a personal question in case it stirs some kind of trouble and he isn't ready for that now. So he turned to Emily's direction and bowed slightly to greet her. She gave him a smile that was neither warm nor cold, just neutral and nodded her head slightly at him. He nodded back and turned to Alan. He was still wondering how he should greet the young man but he was stunned when Alan waved at him with a warm smile. He barely even noticed the angry look on Heaven's face as he slowly returned Alan's smile with a smile of his own. He had a feeling that he was going to like Alan or perhaps, he already likes him. At this thought, Leo shook his head and quickly turned back to James. There's no way he is making new friends or should be thinking of making new friends after what Scott did to him. As h
The Billionaire's Trials 052: The Welcome Party (V)
Alan gave Leo a light nudge and the latter snapped out of his thoughts. He looked at Alan not knowing what to say. "Shall we?," Alan pointed at the door and he nodded before following him out. On their way out, Alan mumbled to him,"Leo... You don't have to act so tense around me or would you rather I give you a proper introduction of myself." Before Leo could reject his question, he had already spoken,"I'm Alan Greene as grandfather James had said earlier. I'm in charge of Greene's aerospace industries." Leo was speechless. Aerospace industries? He'd never expected the family business to go beyond the conglomerate. Turns out he really underestimated Greene's wealth this time. Alan stopped talking and looked at him. "You haven't said anything." "Wow... That's great. I didn't really know about the aerospace industry because no one mentioned it. I haven't really heard of it before too," Leo finally said a few words to assure the young man beside him. Alan chuckled as they a

She turned around to go back to the office. "I'm issuing a divorce immediately." Leo pulled her back and informed her amusedly,"Mrs Ceo, you must be married to me for at least six months to be able to issue a divorce." Heaven's eyes turned red from shyness and she spat out,"You trickster!" Leo moved closer and bent low to whisper into her ears,"Did I also trick you last night to... Mmph" His mouth was immediately covered by Heaven who looked around cautiously and flushed endlessly. She was asleep okay. He was the one that took advantage of her! Leo laughed and she was forced to release her hand when his lips vibrated against it sensually. "We didn't go all the way... Perhaps we could explore further tonight and maybe make a baby to appease the Grampa Wave." "You told grandpa?" She shrieked with widened eyes. "He didn't seem pleased," Leo led her to the car. Heaven felt infuriated. "You... You didn't even... Argh!" She screamed when she realized she was lost f

Leo scratched his head sheepishly and answered,"She is fine grandpa. She is asleep." Wave squinted his old eyes at the youngster and asked in a gruff time,"Why did you snatch her away? She only just came back and needs to rest. You didn't—" "Grandfather, we are heading to the bureau tomorrow." There was sudden silence in this revelation. Emily looked surprised and a smile soon spread out on her face. Meanwhile, Wave was speechless. When the words finally sunk in his brain, he yelled,"You rascal! How long have you had your eyes on her? How long has this been going on? Do you really think you'd be able to get her to the bureau without consulting me first?" Leo cringed at the noise. "Grandfather, she agreed to it. I'm afraid she might run off this time if I don't hold her down. Sorry I didn't let you know before this." "No... This is unacceptable! How could you—" "Congratulations cousin! Remember to share cash souvenirs after the registration," Q's voice from the back

170: Wave Wasn't Pleased.
The atmosphere of the car seemed to get even colder with the distance covered. Q quivered and looked consequently from Leo who'd literally turned to a huge block of ice emitting strong frostiness and Heaven, who was just sitting quietly in a corner. 'Just make up already,' he groaned inwardly but didn't say a word. All of a sudden, Leo ordered the chauffeur to stop the car, just a few meters away from Wave's manor. He ignored the looks he got from Q and Heaven and ordered,"Get out." Quan and Heaven exchanged looks confusedly until he repeated his words again,"Get out." The passenger's door automatically opened. Without thinking, Heaven made an attempt to walk out but Leo halted her movement with a cold glare. He was sitting opposite her so as soon as she saw the way he glared at her, she subconsciously sat back. Quan didn't need anyone to tell him that the person asked to get out was him. With grievance in his heart, he walked out. As he watched the car zoom off,

169: Get In.
"Humph!" Valerie harrumphed when they appeared at the doorway of the conference room. She gave the woman, supposedly one of the receptionists, a condescending look and remarked,"Didn't you say I wasn't allowed into the company? Just my name was enough to make him run to me. I'll surely make you regret what you did today." Leo didn't refute her word as he was pushed in. He simply dismissed the receptionist,"You can leave." The receptionist was relieved to leave that place cause she immediately hurried away. "Boss, you have twenty more minutes till the next meeting," Jake bent low to inform him. He nodded and looked at Valerie with that same expressionless face. "You have just ten minutes. Why did you want to see me by all means?" Valerie appeared a bit embarrassed. She didn't think the receptionist would relay her words to Leo exactly as she said them. But she hid her embarrassed expression and frowned at Jake's presence. "I want to speak to you privately. Ask him to lea

But Jake didn't dare blurt out this thought. He cleared his throat and walked forward with a file. Pushing it forward, he said," I arranged your schedule again like you asked me to. Your next meeting is with the multinational company to close the deal...Blah blah blah," He recounted every single meeting schedule he'd arranged and Leo listened quietly while eating. However, the latter's eyes suddenly fell on a strange file. One he's never seen before. "Which file is that?" He pointed at it. Jake looked at it and suddenly reacted like he'd forgotten to mention something while saying the schedule just now. "You asked me to research Mason's company, remember? Initially, I got the result and wanted to inform you but that thing with uncle Miles came up and you asked me to suspend it." As he explained, Leo's eyes darkened. How could he simply forget about those two? He hasn't had his revenge on Scott and Mandy yet, so how could he let them be? He'd completely forgotten about

Leo looked up at the collection of pictures on the table and a soft look suddenly adorned his cold features. At first, he had been very confused as to why Heaven suddenly decided to leave the country months ago. The crisis was over and there were no murder threats anymore so why did she suddenly insist on going abroad? He had been angered and bittered about her decision for a long time, feeling she was inconsiderate of his feelings and simply selfish until he found the real reason why she went abroad. A month after her departure, he began to receive emails from Q with pictures of Heaven's endeavors abroad. Leo unintentionally moved closer to look at the pictures closely. One picture had Heaven wearing this cute overalls with a pencil tucked behind her ear and a folder in her hand. She was standing in front of a Corp. smiling at a company of three unfamiliar men. Leo frowned and suddenly brought out scissors from a drawer to trim out the other Intruders in the picture. Jake

"Mr Greene is fine and out of danger now. There weren't complications during the surgery since we were able to detect the poison early so he is perfectly okay," the doctor watched the people around him breath in relief. They were now in a fresh, clean Vvip ward and Leo was lying unconscious on the bed with Heaven sitting by his side. Receiving no questions, the doctor continued with his speech,"We would just like to put him under observation for some days because the poison weakened his body system and coupled with the large portion of anesthesia found in his blood—" Q coughed nervously when he heard this and subconsciously moved away from Wave who turned to the doctor with a puzzled look. "Anesthesia?" The doctor nodded at Wave's question. "Yes, we discovered that he had been injected with an overdose of anesthesia." Detective Tom itched his head nervously and exchanged a look with Q. Wave looked furious once again. "Just how far was Miles willing to go to get

"We should head there and wait for the operation to be over," Detective Tom suggested and others nodded in agreement to their words. As they left the ward and headed to the operation theater, Larson could still feel something was wrong. He glanced at everyone and turned to Q. "Say..." He whispered. "What happened while I was gone?" "Nothing," Q didn't even look at him. Larson took a stance against the walls as grandma Emily led Heaven to a bench. They had gotten to the operation theater and the bulb was still showing the red light to indicate that there was an ongoing operation. Larson pulled Q back when he saw that the latter was going to join grandma Emily and Heaven on the bench. He moved closer and asked again in a hushed tone,"Nothing?" "Why are you being so nosy all of a sudden? I already told you nothing happened." "I believe you are lying," Larson glared at him but this didn't faze the latter. "If you really don't want to tell, I'll get answers from the detective." "As

There was a sudden deafening silence in the room. Everyone literally froze at Q's revelation. "What?" Detective Tom managed to choke out. Q nodded. "Yes, my name is Quan Greene." "Which of the Greene's?" It was after detective Tom asked this question did he realize how stupid it sounds. He turned to Wave. "Granduncle, do you secretly have an illegitimate child outside that gave birth to this grandson?" As if on cue, grandma Emily and Wave glared at him at the same time causing him to seal his lips with his fingers. "Don't say nonsense and don't call me granduncle. I am not your relative. Do we look alike?" Wave retorted. "What's going on? Why is the private investigator saying his name is Quan Greene? How is he related to us?" Grandma Emily immediately demanded an answer. Wave ignored them and moved forward. He suddenly held Q and shook the boy. The sudden attack caused Q to feel light-headed. "You stinky child! You've been here the whole time yet you didn't come
