The Return of Billion Boulevard Chapter 104
"Why?" Esther whispered."That's the same question we've been asking ourselves and we're yet to figure it out." Billion replied."I'm really sorry for springing this up on you, but you just had to be told the truth. We may not have been friends for a long time, but I know you have a good heart and I can't stand by and watch you get hurt." Billion said.Esther was trying to process everything, this was the last thing she was expecting to hear. Her thought was distracted by the message sound on her phone going off.She brought out her phone and realized it was messages from Xavier, he sent not just messages but pictures as well."Is everything okay?" Billion asked her when he realized she just continued to stare at her phone for a while."Xavier sent me pictures and he's hurt. Listen, I know he may be up to no good, but I can't sit back and watch while he's in this condition.I'm not going to tell him about any of what we've discussed, but right now, I need to be by his side." Esther sa

"Number one." Billion started, "Xavier can bring up the name; Joy." Esther scoffed loudly, "That's not possible." she said."Hold on, I'm not done yet. Xavier could bring up Joy's name and tell you about her and about his past relationship with her. I believe he would also mention how badly he had treated her and how he deeply regrets it. He could say she had an involvement in what happened to his parents and instead of resenting her, her actions awakened something he had been bottling in.Xavier would then confess to you he had rekindled his relationship with Joy and he realizes he's in love with her. And then he'll claim it would be unfair to you for him to proceed with the marriage knowing fully well his heart belongs to another." Billion explained and paused."I think I get it, this is a possibility. Xavier knows you have a kind heart, he knows you would never force him to marry you, he's aware you love him deeply and rather than him being in an unhappy marriage with you, you'd r

Confusion. That was what Joy and Billion felt. They were still trying to process Joy screaming so loudly when a knock on the door startled them."Mr Boulevard, is everything okay?" Billion's secretary asked and immediately entered his office."Sure, everything is okay." Billion replied."I heard the scream and I rushed to find out what the problem was." the secretary replied, her eyes fixed on Esther."You don't have to bother yourself. Our friend here, Esther, just received really terrible news, so she just needed to let it out." Joy explained."Oh, I see. I'm really sorry about whatever it is she's going through. I'll leave you guys to comfort her." the secretary said and left.Esther had stopped screaming, she just sat in her chair weeping profusely. After exchanging looks, Joy went over to console her. She moved one of the chairs so she could sit in front of Joy, however, she still maintained a reasonable distance so it wouldn't seem like she was crowding in Joy's personal spa

Esther paused. She stood in front of her cousin's door but somehow, she couldn't get herself to ring the bell.She contemplated knocking instead, but she hesitated, she couldn't believe she was about to go through with the plan.It was a plan she had come up with, but if she had been told a week ago that she would be standing in front of Thelma's door and about to test her fiance, she wouldn't believe it.The plan was simple. She would go to her cousin's house, hide and then Thelma would invite Xavier over.When he got there, Thelma would look for a way to make him reveal a bit of his plans to her and she was convinced he would because he was already opening up bit by bit to her.Esther couldn't believe that, not only did Xavier not really love her, he was willing to disrespect her by having a thing with her cousin.A part of her wished everything they had planned out would go accordingly, but a tiny part of her still wished it would all be a lie, but in her mind, she knew better.
The Return of Billion Boulevard Chapter 108
It was a cool evening. Joy definitely did not like Xavier, but she couldn't deny that his choice of hang out spots were always top notch.She had gotten off work about thirty minutes ago and Xavier had asked her to meet him up.The place they had met up was a serene environment perfect for an evening hangout.The park was quiet and peaceful and had a beautiful view. Also, there was plenty of natural beauty to admire.She and Xavier were sitted on a grassy field with a few scattered trees and some flowers blooming.The sun was just beginning to set, casting a warm, orange glow over the landscape. The air was still and calm, with only a light breeze blowing gently through the trees.In the distance, Joy could hear the gentle sound of a stream trickling softly, adding to the tranquil atmosphere.As she sipped on her cold drink and munched on the snack that Xavier had gotten them, she couldn't help but picture coming back to this park with someone she truly loved and cared for, Billion.

"Here's the plan. Joy, you'll tell Xavier you'd send the money via check and you'll be really busy, so, you won't be able to give it to him personally, you'll tell him you'll send someone you trust to give it to him. Esther, you'll meet up with him. Both of you will discuss and then, I think you should show him the recording between him and Thelma.It doesn't matter how much he begs or tries to deny it, you'll end things with him and let him know he won't be getting a cent from you, are you okay with that? Do you think you can go through with it?" Billion asked."Well, I guess so." Esther answered."We need you to be certain. We know it won't be easy, but if you feel you will not be able to go through with it, or you'll be too uncomfortable, we can come up with another plan." Joy said."I can do it." Esther affirmed."Alright then, that's settled." Billion said."So, who would I be sending to deliver the check to him?" Joy asked."You will not be sending anyone. You'll give him no che

There was no answer to that question.The absence of conversation was particularly noticeable because of the previously lively discussions they were having before Esther left.The silence seemed to stretch on endlessly, making Billion and Joy feel awkward and uneasy.The silence felt like an eternity, and Billion decided to break it, "So, how's it going with the LXY project? I haven't heard any updates recently." he asked."Sorry?" Joy responded."The LXY project." Billion repeated."Yes, about that, we've been making good progress. We have completed most of the major milestones and are on track to meet the deadline." Joy answered."That's great to hear. Can you give me a bit more detail on the progress?" Billion asked. He didn't want that awkward silence to return, so he needed this conversation to linger."Of course. We have successfully completed the first phase of the project, which involved extensive research and analysis. We also have completed the development of the key feature

"How was your day?" Esther asked."It was okay. I've been working on different business ideas and seeing which would work best in different geographical locations." Xavier said."What a lying bastard." Esther was tempted to say, however she didn't."That's good. I'm so proud of you. You just got laid off and you're already working on something new. You're such a hard worker." Esther replied."Thank you. I'm working hard so I can be the type of man you deserve." Xavier responded.Esther didn't respond to that, she simply smiled. She proceeded to tell him how her day went, but soon, it was clear Xavier was getting anxious and bored.Esther was surprised she didn't notice how he easily got bored when he was with her. How could she have missed it? He wasn't even trying to hide it.He kept looking away and avoiding eye contact, he was fidgeting and shifting in his seat.Whenever he felt she was talking for too long, he kept Interrupting or finishing her sentences in an attempt to speed up

Billion, Joy, Ecstasy and Lord Boulevard busied themselves with packing for their long-awaited vacation. Laughter and chatter bounced off the walls as they gathered their belongings.Suddenly, Joy's phone pierced through the lively atmosphere with its insistent ringtone. She glanced at the caller ID and picked, “Hello.”After a while, she yelled, "What?” The abrupt interruption drew everyone's attention.After a brief exchange, Joy offered a quick "Thank you" and ended the call. “What's the matter?” Ecstasy asked.Joy simply urged her to turn on the TV and switch to Channel 108. Ecstasy did so, and their eyes were glued to the screen.On the television, an interview was underway. Stella Brown, flanked by her parents, Beauty and Joshua Brown, spoke earnestly to the interviewer. “Billion Boulevard has graciously extended financial assistance to my family in our time of need.” Stella revealed.The interviewer pressed for an explanation, “Ma'am, why would Billion Boulevard offer such

The office environment was buzzing with energy as Billion walked in. The sound of keyboards clicking and phones softly ringing fills the air, creating a productive hum.As Billion entered, a ripple of excitement spread through the room. The employees glanced up from their workstations, their faces breaking into cheerful smiles. The air was filled with a positive vibe, enhanced by the remnants of a memorable celebration from the previous night. After Billion settled into his office, his secretary walked in."Hello sir. There's someone here to see you." she said."Who's that? I wasn't aware I had an appointment this morning." Billion replied."You don't. The lady came in and requested to see you. I asked her to come back another time after she had fixed an appointment but she was insistent and refused to leave." she replied."What's her name?" Billion asked.“Stella Brown."When Billion heard that name, he found himself torn between professional courtesy and personal discomfort. Billi

"He's about to leave the premises isn't he?" Joy asked. Her expression shifted from one of elation to a fleeting moment of disappointment. "He is." Billion answered."What do you intend to do? You've already had a really interesting evening.First, it was Xavier and his family. Next, it was Stella. The press conference and now, Micah. Maybe you can talk to him tomorrow?" Joy suggested. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes widened with a tinge of longing. She wished for nothing more than to prolong this fleeting, stolen moment of intimacy and let it linger a little while longer."I think it's better I do it now. I'll let him know that I'm aware of where he is at every point in time.Also, I should inform him of his new occupation as well. And most importantly, he needs to formally meet his new boss." Billion replied."Looks like you still have a lot on your hand, so, I'll leave you to it" she said. With a soft sigh that carried a mixture of longing and understanding, Joy reached

"It's time." After walking away from Stella, Billion had gone to wash his face. He had just returned to the garden when Joy walked up to him and notified him that it was time. He had a press conference to attend."Oh boy." he muttered and followed Joy to where the media was. They tried crowding in on him and bombarding him with all their questions at once, but Joy wasn't having it.In a calm, composed and controlled voice, she said "Thank you all for your interest. I understand there are many questions, and Mr Boulevard will do his best to address them one at a time. Let's start with one question at a time, please"However, that plea fell on deaf ears, everyone had something to ask the CEO of D'Boulevard empire."I appreciate your enthusiasm, but it would be helpful if we could take this one question at a time. That way, Mr Boulevard can provide you with accurate and thoughtful responses" Joy repeated and fortunately, the crowd seemed to understand her."To ensure that everyone's

"Billion" a soft voice called out from behind him.Billion had not gotten up to five feet away from where he was when he heard his name.The voice which called out his name served as a reminder of the past—a bittersweet symphony of emotions stirs within him."Stella." he muttered without turning.A wave of mixed emotions crashed over him, taking him by surprise. A rush of memories flooded his mind, reminding him of the tumultuous times they shared together and the pain she caused him.Initially, his heart skipped a beat, caught off guard by the familiarity of that voice he once knew so well. His body instinctively tensed up. A knot formed in the pit of his stomach, as if the weight of their history resurfaced in an instant.Despite the tumultuous mix of emotions, curiosity and a sense of self-preservation urged him to turn around, to face the woman whose voice still carried a strong recognition within him."Hello Stella." Slowly, Billion pivots on his heels, his eyes meeting hers for

Billion's head swiveled gradually upon hearing his name, locking eyes with the person before him."Xavier," he said in a relaxed tone."It was you?!" Xavier asked accusingly."What was me?" Billion replied, his demeanor unwavering."You really have the guts to ask me that? Whatever did my family do toyou?" Xavier yelled."Are you really asking me that?" Billion responded, he had hoped that question was a rhetorical one.“You humiliated those who work for me!”"What about my family? Did they humiliate you as well? Or are you just a sick individual who derives not from watching the downfall of others?" Xavier spat"Your dad almost ruined my empire on love television! You and your parents are cruel individuals. You should be grateful I didn't look for a way to put you behind bars." Billion replied.Upon hearing those words, Xavier let out a mocking laugh "So what? I should kneel down and thank you for your mercy towards me and my family?" "There's no need for that. Do enjoy the rest of

"Good evening everyone" Billion said. He took a moment to scan through the crowd and he was pleased to see the three major families seated where he wanted, in front of him, seeing him clearly."No camera will ever be able to truly capture this moment," Joy muttered.She was watching the three families and their expressions were something she would pay to watch repeatedly if only they could be properly captured. The first family to catch her eyes were the Greys.Grace Grey's face initially displayed surprise, as her eyes widened and her eyebrows raised involuntarily. Her mouth parted slightly, indicating astonishment and disbelief at the unexpected turn of events. As the realization sank in that the person in front of them was the same young man she and her son had humiliated at the gym years back, her expression morphed into a combination of embarrassment and regret. Her eyes darted away momentarily, avoiding direct contact with his gaze, as a wave of guilt washes over her. Line

Micah stared at her. He was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. He was feeling a combination of guilt, shame, anxiety, and uncertainty about his future. The weight of his actions and the consequences he was facing weighed heavily on him.As time passed in the cell that he was in, he had begun to reflect on the gravity of his actions and the impact it would have on his family name if it became public knowledge.However, he did not feel regret over his actions, he felt regret over being caught. The uncertainty of what lies ahead, including potential legal ramifications and expenses was causing him great distress.When Joy unexpectedly showed up and requested to speak with him, his emotions intensified as he was notified. He felt a mix of nervousness and apprehension, unsure of what she wanted to discuss with him. The encounter could trigger a range of thoughts and possibilities in his mind, adding to his already heightened state of anxiety.As that statement left Joy's lips, Micah

She experiences a profound sense of accomplishment and validation, as the meticulous effort and strategic thinking she invested in crafting her plan have paid off.Joy permeated her being, and her face lights up with an infectious smile that reflects the triumph she feels within.
