The Unexpected Billionaire's Revenge CHAPTER 157
Taron was on the phone when Rebecca went in to meet him. He signaled, asking if all was good, and Rebecca nodded. Eventually, he got off the phone and Rebecca spoke. "There's someone here to see you, says her name is Rebecca Torres." Rebecca said and Taron's eyes lit in recognition, and Rebecca's nostrils flared for a second. "Should I tell her to come in?" Rebecca asked. "Yes, let her in, she was the one who was working on—" Rebecca cut in. "The Javier case, I'm well aware." Taron was amused by Rebecca's attitude. Not that he was surprised, she was possessive and short temper, and if he was not careful, she could make him cry in a matter of minutes. Rebecca got back to her seat. "He said that you should go in, knock once before you go inside." Rebecca said and Rebecca Torres nodded. "Yes, thank you, I know office manners." Rebecca Torres said in a calm voice, and it was that very calmness that irritated Rebecca, making her feel stupid for acting out. "I wasn't i

“And she actually spoke to you like that?” Eve asked, her eyes protruding in what seemed to be shock. Or disbelief, whichever. “What did you expect me to do? Slap her?” “Yes! She can’t come into your office and speak to you disrespectfully.” “At least let me tell you what happened afterwards.” Rebecca slapped Eve’s knees. “If it’s anything like what you just told me, then I don’t want to know.” Eve was frowning. Rebecca was at Eve’s place, as they were trying to catch up with each other. They had become extremely close and they saw each other for meetups like this regularly. “No, not really, will you let me tell you or not? Because I’d be happy to leave the story halfway done and go for ice cream instead.” “No, tell me,” Eve whined. “But is there a trigger warning?” “Not any that I know of, but see, do you know that when she went in there, she actually tried to flirt with Taron?” “No way! The nerve of that bitch.” “Well, yes, and Taron had told her tha

Taron called Rebecca's phone and Eve picked it up almost immediately. "Hello?" "I'm stuck in traffic, any news yet?" Tarim asked and Eve looked around. "No, I've not heard from the doctor yet." "Alright, I'll try my best to be there quickly, please call me if she wakes up or anything." Taron said and Eve mumbled a yes before Taron cut the call. What if Rebecca was pregnant? Eve thought. In a lot of the movies that she had watched, the pregnant women had fainted, and so maybe the contraception had failed, and Rebecca was just going to be a mummy, that was it. What were the possibilities of it being worse than that? The doctor came outside and Eve stood up immediately. His face was unsmiling, and Eve wondered if that was his resting face, or if he had something terrible to say. “What’s the situation, doctor?” Eve asked. “Oh, you must be the friend who brought her in, it’s nothing much, the patient just happens to be anaemic, and needs a better diet with a lot of r

Sarah was trying to get over all the things that had been plaguing her mind for the past few weeks. It was not working, but she had to push positivity, pushing p, or whatever it was that one artist said. She had pushed the “incident” behind her, and did not want to think, or even speak about it. And as for the man she met that day— the one who had saved her, she hoped that they never had to see each other again too. She had forgotten his name too, so she was making good progress with it. There were a lot of people in this place, and she had never seen him before, right? The chances of her seeing him again must not have been very high. There was commotion way in at the front, but as the men seemed to just be yelling, and not throwing any physical punches yet, she decided to make her way into the shop before anything else started to happen. With just her fortune, she could easily get a punch landed on her face for no reason. “Hold up, Sarah?” A voice called out and Sarah tried t

“I don’t think you understand what is going on here.” Selena said, obviously struggling to keep her voice down. “Selena, please—” Javier said, and Selena turned back to glare at him so hard that he thought her eyes would fall out. “Don’t Selena please me! What is wrong with you?” Selena asked him. “What is wrong with me? I just made a suggestion. What are you so mad about?” Javier asked, and Selena started to laugh sarcastically. Javier had made the most ridiculous suggestion ever, and Selena could not believe that he was even entertaining the idea. He had walked up to her in the morning, and told her that he wanted to be with her. Then he went ahead to suggest that that they leave all the money for Taron and go ahead to live together, but peacefully. “We should just leave all these issues, and start afresh! Come back to Europe with me, Selena.” Javier said. “Even if you were thinking about it, I can’t believe that you have the audacity to say it to me,” Selena sai

Taron sat across the Niels, who owned some of the biggest companies in Europe, and had substantial shares in Hong Kong. They looked like a good mix between the Chinese and the English, and they seemed like they were waiting for him to speak first, for some reason. “There was a lot of traffic on the way here, have you ordered anything yet?” Taron said, although he was on time, but he wanted to make the talk light. Mr Neil smiled at him. “No, actually, we had some trouble getting here too, you came in just about two minutes after us.” “Yes, and besides, it would be very unbecoming of us if we ordered some food when you were not here yet.” Mrs Neil shot her husband a glare, and Taron understood that he wanted to order something beforehand, but his wife had stopped him. “I was hungry, you cannot blame me for being hungry.” Mr Neil tried to defend himself. “You had food just before you left home!” Mrs Neil said, taking her hand fan and whacking him on the head. Taron loved t

“Why did you do that? I could have you arrested for it.” Javier glared at Selena, who just ignored him and kept her focus on the two cars leaving. She got up as they drove away, and Javier followed suit. “I don’t feel embarrassed at all, and what about the paparazzi? What if one of them get us out here and you’re in the news tomorrow, or maybe this evening?” Javier gasped, making attempts to annoy her. Selena ignored him. She wanted this to be some kind of apology lunch for Javier because of how she had yelled at him, and no matter what was going to happen, she couldn’t get all that money if Javier didn’t comply with what she had planned, so… “I have a lot of things going on in my head, so I would appreciate if you mind yourself.” Selena said and Javier looked at her as if he was confused. “What is it?” Selena asked him. “This thing that you’re wearing isn’t giving me the opportunity to hear you speak properly, you should remove it.” He pointed at her nose mask, and

“Where is that man?” Selena said with her face scrunched up as she went through the house with no sign of Javier hanging around. Javier came out of his room with a towel around his waist and hair dripping from his hair. Smelled good enough to eat too, if Selena had anything to say about it. “I thought you had snuck out again.” “Again? Why do you think I’ve snuck out before?” Javier asked, and Selena rolled her eyes in response. “He thinks I’m an idiot.” She said, turning back. Javier then craned his neck to see who Selena was talking to, and he saw a man seated in the living room. “Hi.” Javier said, and the man waved back. “Javier, this man is one of the best lawyers in our continent, and he’s going to be handling your case.” Selena said with a big smile on her face. “Yes, uh, why don’t we all sit down?” The man asked, and Selena and Javier went to sit down, and the lawyer looked at Javier like he had a lot of issues going on. “Hey, don’t look at me like tha

CHAPTER 194
It had been months since the awful incidents had happened, and Selena, Javier, and all the other offenders were still locked up because of the multitude of crimes they had committed against other people, like Taron and Rebecca, and somehow, some missing funds were traced to Rebecca's account, so she had problems with the entire country too. That, and her faking her death was a major offence because it was a popular tactic pulled by fraudsters, and so, Selena was to spend a long time locked up. Rebecca, on the other hand, was doing so much better. She was starting to move during the second week of her awaking, and Taron was so proud of the progress that she was making in her life, and how she was able to forge ahead. "I can't imagine that our lives were troubled by that nasty woman, how did you even manage to end up with her, you crazy man?" Rebecca teased him, and he rolled his eyes "I was a complete idiot, I don't even have anything to say to defend myself." Taron said, sha
CHAPTER 193
It was the main day for the attack. Selena and her killers were heading out to attack. The strategy she had made was full proof to her but she had no idea there was an inside man and her plans had been leaked. Anthony and Taron discussed on the news Radish gave the earlier. They have decided to let the cops know about the act and Selena should be at least arrested if not killed. “Hello! Joe Radish when is it starting?” Taron asked Joe over the phone. “Okay, thank you. I owe you, literally.” Taron joked as he cut the call. “I am leaving Rebecca in your care, and I believe she will be safer here than anywhere else.” Taron stroked Rebecca's hair and gave her a kiss before he exited the mafia house. Taron had informed his security officers earlier about the event, so he put them in strategic places that would give them the advantage. He also called the police to fight with him, he paid a lot of money for that. Taron got to his house. He kept a gun with him and kept two se
CHAPTER 192
The smell of antiseptic filled the room. “Where am I?” Rebecca who had been in a coma finally opened her eyes, she gradually came to her senses. The thick smell of the sterilized air, the sound of beeping, the unfamiliar and white wall made her confirm where she was. “I'm at the hospital.” She said after confirming where she was. “Taron!” She screamed out remembering what had happened. “I have to get out here.” She stated trying to move but was too weak to do so, frustrated by how weak she was, she felt both frustrated and afraid, and she attempted to struggle to move once more, but was unable to. The assistant came in and saw her struggling and yelled. “Do not do that, Miss Moore!” She forced Rebecca to lie back down to the back and used the blanket to cover her. “Who are you?” Rebecca asked confused, as she was not wearing a nurse uniform. “I'm Anaise, one of the assistants under the mafia doctor.” She smiled as the added something into the drip.
CHAPTER 191
Selena was setting up an elaborate plan. She made it her personal mission to attack Taron, not him in particular. She wanted to inflict pain on him or so I thought. “So, I have been with Taron and I know every nook and crazy of the house, within the next few weeks, we will be planning an elaborate attack on Taron.” Selena said, moving across the room in a most dramatic manner. She hired a group of men to attack the house. Amongst the men was Joe radish, he was Anthony and Taron's man on the inside, and nobody knew about him just yet. - Taron was at the mafia house still feeling down about now seeing Rebecca when she was awake. “Why are you guys laying around doing nothing? You work, you get paid, no one paying you to stand around and do nothing.” Taron yelled at the employees. He knew was being hard, but he did not like being moody, he did not want to be like those bosses like all the ones who just yelled at employees based on personal matters. “Taron, son, yo
CHAPTER 190
Taron was too busy, as there was a lot of workload on his head for him to do when the phone call came in. "Taron?" It was Anthony. "Yes, Anthony? What happened?" Taron asked, suddenly worried. "It's good news, actually, you have to know that Rebecca is awake." Anthony said and Taron's heart stopped. He was not sure that he had heard correctly, so he got to his feet slowly. "What are you talking about?" Taron asked. "Rebecca, she is currently awake and she is talking to your mother currently." Anthony said, and Taron was silent for a few seconds before he got very excited. "I'm on my way!" Taron said and cut the call. "Julian!" Taron's current secretary started to knock at the door when he heard his name, and all Taron could wonder was the kind of idiot that he had hired as he secretary. "Come in, Julian! You only have to knock twice and open up when I call you in myself!" Taron yelled and the door opened, and Julian practically flew into the office. "What is
CHAPTER 189
Selena was pacing around as she waited for them to arrive. She had had this nagging feeling for a good, long while now, and now she was sure of it! Taron was playing mind games with her, just as she had been doing with him. "Excuse me? Why did you text like that? I was startled!" Sarah said, looking at Sarah in disbelief as she came inside the house. "It was urgent!" Selena sighed. "You're the first to arrive, I'm waiting for the rest, champagne?" "What do you mean by that? Who else is coming? And next time something is urgent and other people are coming, let me know so that I can prepare!" Sarah yelled. "But you look good already." Selena rolled her eyes. "I can look better." Sarah whined and went to find a spot to sit. "Would you at least tell me why you did this? Why you suddenly called people in here?" Sarah asked. "I'm your best friend, and you're still going to tell everyone eventually!" Selena sighed. She was tired of keeping it to herself anyway. "Wel
CHAPTER 188
Everything is too quiet, Taron thought as he got up. “Everything is to quiet!” He said, and his voice bounced off his walls, filling him with some kind of eerie sensation. Taron wondered why the day felt so strange, but then he remembered that it was the third day, and he got to see Rebecca come out today. “Jonas!” Taron yelled with a smile on his face. Jonas was back from his vacation, and he was not happy with how things had gone, but he was feeling extremely refreshed from his trip. If only he was around, nothing would have happened to Rebecca, because he would have been in the same car as her, and even if she drove, he would have thrown himself at her immediately, even if it cost him his life. He owed these people that much. “Going to see Miss Moore, sir?” Jonas asked, and Taron grinned excitedly at him. “You know it!” Taron said happily. “Oh Jonah, I wish I had three of you, one for me as my personal companion asides my girl, one for my mother, and one for my gi
CHAPTER 187
Taron got out of his seat, tired of all the terrible things that had been happening— not that Rebecca getting out of there on time before anything could happen was a terrible thing, but the fact that he could not do anything about it. ‘It’, being the fact that he could not go to Rebecca just yet. All that he could hope was that she would get up from the bed sooner, rather than later. “And now, I have to deal with idiots all around me.” Taron muttered and got up, realizing that maybe it was the office that was making him have such a terrible attitude. People did not want to deal with that! He didn’t even like dealing with himself in this mood, and Taron remembered that he had made the decision to be a wonderful boss. Snapping at anyone who asked about Rebecca, biting his employees heads off for the smallest, excusable things? When did he turn to this? Taron knew that he was not exactly to blame, but the people working under him did not know that, or about anything that was go
CHAPTER 186
Selena’s heart was beating faster than usual when she got to her car. She face palmed herself. Of course Taron would have asked about Rebecca, why did she have to let herself panic like that? Now she made herself look guilty. “Stupid Taron McCarthy!” She groaned. Taron had invited her to lunch, and she thought that maybe he would want to compromise by making Javier’s share a little bigger, and she like reject her offer and happily step on his face before leaving, but none of that happened. Instead, he was having fun poking at her verbally and watching her squirm. Even took her food away from her when she was only halfway done with it. If only she had not accepted his invite in the first place, Selena thought. Sarah would think that she was a fool and make a lot of noise about the mighty falling and everything. But it had to be a good thing, right? Selena could not take her mind off the fact that since Taron had called her to tell ask her about Rebecca’s whereabouts, then
