The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 127
“We will be late if you keep crawling like this." Peter told Kayla. He was standing by the mirror, fully dressed in his azure-colored suit and nice Balenciaga shoes. The Rolex watch on his wrist speaks of volume and luxury. “Tell me why I won't be the envy of the town." He asked a rhetorical question that left only a surprised look on Kayla's face. He knew he was handsome because of his height and his body build. His chiseled abs and jaw—there was nothing he didn't have made perfect for him, and he could easily pass for a model.Kayla, who was busy with her makeup, stole glances at him from the mirror in front of her. “You are just so full of yourself." She sighed and continued.“You never give me credit for it." He said it jokingly to her."Oh, how nice. I bet you have to go for some pageantry. You are fine, and you know it. I can't keep telling you that every day, my boss." She winked at him and grinned sheepishly.“Get off me. You are such a killjoy." He teased and laughed.“You

“It's beautiful, and it has diamonds.” She twinkled her fingers and smiled at them. Then she suddenly went gloomy again.Surprised at her sudden change in demeanor, Peter asked, “What? You ‐ don't like it?” He stuttered the question.“Not that”. She took a deep breath. “We should have been married before this baby set in. You know it's some kind of family ethics, and I just broke it. I feel really bad, and I don't know how mom would take it,” she complained, still looking at the beautiful diamond ring sitting pretty on her finger. “I understand, but trust me, everything will be fine. I had no idea about this family ritual thing, and you never mentioned it. I would have been more careful, Kay. But it has already happened, and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it except get rid of the baby. Is that what you want?” “An abortion? Over my dead body. I could never do a thing as horrible as that to my innocent child.”.“Good. So that leaves us with the option of facing your paren

She got out of the car, and the duo went back into the house. That night, Kayla smiled all through, and even in her sleep, she smiled so hard.************Very early Monday morning, Kayla pulled up in front of the company where she had worked for a few months. All those who had mocked her for driving that old Corolla car had to see the goodness she had come to work with. She wouldn't have bothered, but the fact that they mocked her behind her back was something she had to fight back against. She had been quiet for a long time, and everyone at the firm, especially those who weren't on the same team as her, thinks she is pompous because she was given a higher position than those she worked with for more than five years. For Godsake, she was a goddess when it came to designing, and even the goddess of art and creativity gives her the accolade for it.She parked silently, waiting. When she looked around in search of their cars, she found out the leader had arrived. It was just 7:15 a.m.

At exactly a few minutes past twelve, Alex knocked on Kayla's door.Kayla, who had forgotten she had fixed a date with Alex, looked at her stunned as to why she would come into her office during lunch break.“What? We have a date, remember?” Alex quickly quenched Kayla's curiosity. “Oh, that's true, and I totally forgot we had plans." She said that and began to pack her things. She turned off her system and moved out. “So where are we going? The canteen?” “No way… You are way bigger than that canteen. I shall take you somewhere really nice, down the streets for about a few blocks. But we will ride in your car." Alex told her.“Sure, that's a sure thing." Alex was super excited about her boss's growth. No one could do it better than Peter. Sometimes she wonders if she will ever get a man as determined and intentional as him. She took a deep breath and helped Kayla with the door. As they strolled out, they met a few other colleagues who had seen Kayla drive into the premises with her

“Back off, moron. She just told you she isn't interested in what is difficult for your grown Guinea fowl to understand. You are not her class, and you can't compete with her man, so f***k the hell off." Alex screamed at him. The man was shocked, and I too was shocked. My mouth fell open as I watched her speak to him in such a manner.“Alex, you should come down." I want to say something to her, but I kind of loved how protective she was of me. I found it strange and fascinating, and I wondered how jealous she would be of her lover. I chuckled and looked back at the man, who still stood perplexed at his marrows.“If I were you, I would stay away from her and never show your ugly face here." Alex screamed in her voice and called the attention of the other person's who were having their solo lunch date.“Well, I wasn't even talking to you; why are you even flipping and yelling?” “Move Mr.” “Mr. Marcus”. He smiled at Kayla, who still had her arms folded against her chest.“I don't give

They drove off to work, but on their way, they stopped by a store to get Lisa's ice cream.“I can beat my chest and say this is not the first time you are meeting Mr. Marcus. I mean, how on earth would you treat him in such a mean way if you haven't had a bad encounter with him before now? Kayla asked. She paused for a while and took the seat belt off her waist.“I haven't met, actually. I just hate his guts the moment he shows up at the front door." Alex confessed. She had her seat facing the door, so it was easy for her to see who was coming into the restaurant hall from the front door.“Whoa! You even noticed when he got into the restaurant from the door?” She asked Alex as he got out of the car and closed the door.“Yes. I saw him come in, and he came straight to meet us, Luke. He had nothing else to do but woo a lady for the whole day,” she said, angered and pained, and I just couldn't relate to the reason she was angry. But I could tell she didn't want anyone coming close to me
The Rise of a Billionaire CHAPTER 133
The weekend came in too fast for Kayla. She needed her space, but since her mom had called and said it was important, she wouldn't miss it for anything in the world. She woke up strong and energized. She had prepared herself for this meeting overnight, and she had made up her mind to let her mother see the reasons for her choosing Peter. Her father did not have much of a fight with whether she had a child before marriage or not, but her mom held values so high that she didn't want any disgrace from Kayla, especially when it came to how the women at the church ran their noses into other people's business. That was her mother's only concern, and Kayla knew that there was nothing more to it than “What will people say?”. People have always said a lot, and even after death, they will still speak of you, whether good or bad. Either way, you will remain a topic of discussion. "Kayla, you should hurry up; we have a long drive ahead of us," Peter called out from the living room while Kayla wa

Ethan brought the wine and carefully placed it on the table. He put the glass down and served the wine in the glasses for each one of them. “You should try this wine; I got it recently," Ethan said, smiling and looking at Peter, who took up the glass, shook it, and sipped from it. “It's good; I must commend," Peter said, smiling at Ethan.“I told you you would love it. It's a good brand, and I hear it's good for my age.”“I can see that, Dad," Kayla said. “I think I should join Mom in the kitchen. She excused herself and joined her mother in the kitchen. Mrs. Ethan was busy grilling the chicken in the oven. Some veggies were laid in a clean bowl, waiting to be chopped. Kayla immediately picked up the knife and began to chop the onion.“You still tear from chopping onions?” Her mother asked. It has always been Kayla's weakness in the kitchen. They prepared the food, and Kaa helped her mom carry the tray of food to the dining area.“Lunch is served," Brenda called out to her husband a
