The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 72. Not a date
'I thought as much.' Zachary thought Maraya was so vulnerable and possibly so emotional. "I've literally be drained by the men that comes into my life." Maraya paused for a while and forced out a fake smile before continuing. "It was as if when one comes and gets a chunk out of me, he runs and tells another who also fakes it into my life until he gets what he wants. The circle continued and I was stupid enough to keep falling for their lies until my eyes were open to the truth. The truth that they were all fake. I've been so financially and emotionally drained that I don't think I still have anymore love to give out."Maraya forced another smile and gradually lifted her gaze which fell on Zachary's continuous stare. He was giving her a pity look and she didn't like it. "You don't have to feel sorry for me. I already learnt my lesson and nothing of that sort will ever happen again." She pursed her lips and rolled her eyes at Zachary."So enough about me. I know you didn't go to the re
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 73. Introduction
Zachary was somewhat confused with the surprise on the girl's face. "Yeah. Texas." He replied. Maybe Chloe thought that he was from around. She was just learning that Zachary came from Texas. "So you're a businessman on a trip?"Zachary nodded his head. He didn't expect her to react that way. "I've visited Texas a couple of times with my parents. We went to see my grandparents." Chloe suddenly explained which got Zachary a little relieved. It certainly meant that they can still get to see each other once in a while."So Chloe, tell me about yourself." Zachary diverted back to the main issue. He wanted to find out a lot of things about her. Well, not particularly everything, at least he would love to catch some things about her. Maybe the important ones for the meantime."Really?" Chloe was surprised. It was him who wanted them to meet, so it's only wise that he introduces himself first. "Uhmmm… Aren't you missing something?" She asked, after taking a sip from her drink. Zachary star
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 74. Secret meeting
After receiving Duncan's call that morning, Emily snuck out to meet up with him without her father's consent. She really missed him and felt so sorry with the way things had turned out for their company. Even though she had said a lot of mean words out of rage, she didn't mean any of it. She was just angry at the situation. She had to admit that she was still so much in love with him. Well, it was so difficult to just let go of a relationship that had lasted over the years.She had angrily hung up Duncan's call that morning. However, after a change of mind, she called him back and chose a venue to meet up that evening. Since it was evening time, the lake environment was serene and the tranquility was what they really needed to have a fruitful discussion. Emily had arrived earlier and sat in the ground very close to the lake throwing pebbles into it and enjoyed the sound it made when it fell into the water. The air around the area was quite chilly, so Emily wore a jacket and a boot w

"Why would he do such a thing? And where are you staying at the moment?" Emily was shocked to hear what he just said as she curiously enquired."I stay with one of my friends who is now on my neck to go out and do something so that I can contribute to running the house."Emily furrowed her brows. From what she knew about Duncan's father, he was short tempered and acted on impulse. She wasn't expecting any better from him. However, Duncan was so reckless with his actions. How could he kidnap Zachary? Now his family was suffering from his actions."What are you thinking Em." Duncan asked when he saw that Emily was lost in her thoughts. "Nothing." She replied, shaking her head. Heaving a sigh, Duncan suddenly decided to change the topic. "You remember the last time we came here together?"Emily rolled her eyes at him but Duncan didn't mind her, he just continued with what he was saying. Emily remembered it very well. "We were so in love that we couldn't get enough of ourselves." Duncan
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 76. Welcome back
Zachary and Maraya arrived at the airport to find Stone waiting outside the car. Scanning around the place, he was relieved that his bodyguards were nowhere in sight. With a cheerful smile, Zachary beckoned on Maraya to follow him. "Come on." Maraya followed him to the car, after which they zoomed off immediately. Settling on his seat, Zachary looked through the mirror and saw his bodyguards following behind. 'I thought as much.'They'd never give him any chance to breathe, as long as he was back in Texas."Welcome back Sir. Miss Maraya." Stone cheerfully greeted the duo. "Thank you." They both responded in unison."I hope your trip went well?" "Of Course. Thanks for your concern." Zachary acknowledged the man's sincere care towards him. "So, what did I miss? Or should I say, what did we miss?""Nothing important Sir. Everything is just as you left it."Zachary nodded in response. "Oh! Ok.""How's my Grandpa doing?" Zachary probed further and Stone nodded. "He's doing pretty well. He

Lowering her gaze, her eyes scanned the papers dispersed on the floor. Doing her best to avoid gazing at Zachary, Emily gradually tilted herself but could feel Zachary's cold glare on her. It seemed as if it was boring holes into her skin. The stare was intense."I hope not to be seduced again in my office." His words came out cold and devoid of emotions. Emily swallowed hard and gradually rose up. If she had known that something of this sort would occur, she would have worn trousers. Of all days, it was the day she chose to wear a skirt that this happened. As she scanned her outfit, she carefully thought of a way to gather up the littered papers without being labeled a seductress.Gradually, she lowered herself in a squat and began picking the papers up. Her feet ached from the heels she wore but there was nothing she could do. She had to endure the pains and do what her boss had asked her. After gathering up the papers that were initially scattered on the floor, she took the file cl

"Miss McDonalds, there better be an explanation for this else, you'd have to tender your resignation immediately." Her immediate boss, Mr. Liam barked angrily causing Emily to almost freeze at a spot. It was still so early and her day had gone this sour. 'What the heck!'Emily only said that in her mind, she wouldn't dare to say it out, else she's in for serious trouble. Glancing at the door behind Liam, Emily saw the gossipers' prying eyes. They were competing for the one who would see things clearly. Since they didn't want to leave the door ajar, they slightly opened it and poked their eyes at the little opening. That's it. How much embarrassment would she take for just one morning. The morning Zachary come back from his trip.The previous day he didn't come to work, she had been as free as a bird. "Sir.""Don't you dare Sir me. I asked a question and demands that you answer me in all honesty because you'd be done for if I find out that you lied. I don't care if your father is the G
The deprived Orphan who became a Billionaire Chapter 79. The medal
Confused, the lady asked. "Really?""Yeah." Zachary responded with a blush on his face. He could also imagine the expression on Chloe's face. She must be smiling and blushing."Tell me, what medal did you just win?" She questioned him, anticipation evident in her voice."Youuuu…" Zachary stressed the word. He knew the effect it might have on Chloe. However, he was not there to see her reaction.There was silence at the other end of the line. Chloe was lost for the right words to respond Zachary with. "I'm sorry Zachary, I have to go and attend to a client. Talk to you later." With that, the call came to an abrupt end.Zachary fell into an uncontrollable laughter after the call ended. He was sure Chloe had lied to excuse herself from the awkwardness she felt. Zachary's word had caught her off guard. She wasn't expecting anything like that. Zachary thought that that was a crazy thing to say to a lady he was planning to woo.Placing his phone into his suit pocket. Zachary slid back into

“Sir, the meeting will start in thirty minutes.” Maraya informed him before leaving for her office.It didn't take long and the meeting started. After the meeting was over, Zachary asked two men to wait behind. They were the general manager and the assistant general manager.Since John was the general manager, he had to wait behind. However, his heart was pounding heavily as he kept wondering what Zachary was up to.“Sir, you asked us to wait. I hope there's no problem?" The person who spoke was the assistant General Manager, Mr. Vincent.“Uh, Yeah. Please have a seat." Zachary replied to the men while his gaze was fixated at the file before him.Zachary soon lifted his face to stare at the other man. “ Mr. Vincent." He called out.“Sir."

Thinking that the lady will get angry, Zachary was stunned to hear her dismiss the matter.“It's ok, I hope it went well?”"Yeah, it did go well before someone came to piss me off.” Zachary replied truthfully. Although he had no intention of telling Chloe about going with Mirabel."What happened?” Chloe asked with concern. "And who's the person who offended you?”"It's a young lady flirting with me.

Chapter 116. What do you think?
Stone, who was not expecting such a question, lifted his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror. “Ma'am, what did you say?" He pretended not to hear her the first time.Mirabel chuckled and asked the question again. “Do you think that anything can happen between me and your boss?”Stone swallowed hard. He was completely at a loss for words.After a moment of silence, he replied to Mirabel. “I…uh,.. I don't have an answer to that question.”Although Stone really wanted Zachary to end up with Mirabel, his boss was the one to make the choice himself.Mirabel smiled while still watching Stone from the mirror.“Ok, tell me what you think about me? Do you think I'd be good for Zach?" Stone pursed his lips and nodded. “Yes Ma'am, you're a great person and I think you and my boss will look good together. However, he's the one who would make the choice." “Does Zach have a girlfriend? Tell me the truth." Mirabel continued to probe further. Although she had confessed her feelings for Zachary

Without another word, Emily raced downstairs and to the dining table. “Hi, Dad. You're back." John only glanced at his daughter and nodded. " Yeah, what have you been up to? Tell me, did you speak with Mirabel?”Emily instantly darkened her expression when she heard Mirabel’s name.“That betrayer." She muttered to herself.“What did you say?" John inquired.

"What do you mean by that?" With furrowed brows, Zachary gave her a questioning look. "Why would your name be on the news tomorrow?""Nevermind Zach, it's just an expression. You should understand what I was trying to imply. Did you not see the way that girl spoke to the maid like she was not a human being? That was not fair and I could no longer stand the sight. If I were to stand up for the maid and confront her, she might insult me and I would be able to take it."Zachary was silent for a while before saying to her."Emily was your friend for so many years before you guys fell apart the previous night, did she not demean people before your presence?"Emily was rendered speechless."Ugh, actually Zach…""You don't have to answer that." Zachary didn't let her finish before cutting in."Well, I'm sure that you're no longer in the mood for the dinner party. I'll go look for my grandparents and inform them before we leave."Mirabel nodded in approval. Indeed, she was no longer in the

Chapter 113. Another version of Emily
Zachary lifted his face to see a gorgeous young lady staring down at him. She was smiling at him as she stretched forth her right hand to shake him. Zachary didn't need to confirm her question because everyone was already talking about him. "My name is Alice and you're at our home. Mr Ferdinand is my grandpa."The Ferdinands had called for a dinner party and invited only the elites in the city. It was a way of building a network and for business expansion. Zachary was only there because his grandfather invited him. He didn't know a lot of VIPs. All the people he had had business contact with were confused to see that Kelvin made him the new CEO. To them, it seemed that Zachary just came out of nowhere and was made the CEO of such a reputable company.However, they could not question Kelvin's decision. It was only the staff who knew the relationship Zachary had with Kelvin. Although they wouldn't dare run their mouth for fear of being sacked.Rising to his feet, Zachary shook the you

Chapter 112. Long lost grandson
Zachary and Mirabel were approached by Kelvin as soon as they alighted from the car. Zachary's car was initially refused access to the residence until he called Kelvin and it was confirmed. The security guards stared at Zachary in bewilderment and wondered how he was suddenly related to Kelvin, the richest man in Texas. They knew Kelvin because their boss had had some contact with him. And the social media also portrayed him as the richest which was quite true.Kelvin reached out and hugged his grandson. After they pulled out of the embrace, Zachary introduced Mirabel to him."Grandpa, This is Mirabel, my…""Your girlfriend." Kelvin helped him to complete the statement with a broad smile on his face. Mirabel was already blushing from the initial compliment Kelvin had given to her. She hurriedly ended the call with Emily when Kelvin started throwing compliments at her. Hopefully, Emily didn't hear any of it or she'd get more jealous. 'So what if she gets jealous. That's her problem n

Chapter 111. I was wrong
"That person looks like Mirabel." Emily muttered from under her breath. As she turned to look closely at the type of vehicle, the car had already started leaving. However, she was able to catch the plate number and deduced something. It wasn't Mirabel's car. Moreover, she drove her car by herself."Whose vehicle was that?" Emily tried to think of where she had seen that exact vehicle."Yeah, I remember now. I'm sure I've seen that plate number somewhere and it matches with the color of the vehicle I know. Oh! It's Zachary's. I've seen him exit the company in that same car."Emily was stunned at the discovery. "What would Mirabel be doing in Zachary's car when she has her own. Moreover, where were they going?"Emily was trying so hard to find out what was really going on. Mirabel had earlier told her that they were not in a relationship yet. However, it looked like they were going to some kind of party together."Yeah, that's it. I'm sure Zachary had asked her to accompany him. It only

Chapter 110. Most beautiful girl in school
Zachary descended the stairs in style. He was dressed in a black notch lapel suit and black shoes to match. He had a pair of glasses on his right hand while his left hand was inside his pocket. He looked dashing in his outfit and quiff hairstyle. Mirabel could not help but gape at the young man as he marched towards them.Following Mirabel's gaze, Nathan saw that it was Zachary approaching. He stared at the young lady and to Zachary before clearing his throat, distracting Mirabel.Mirabel smiled and turned her face away, a blush making its way on her face. She was happy that the man had been distracted from probing her to answer his question."Ofcourse, everyone in our class knew Emily. Infact, she was popular in the whole school because she thought she was the most beautiful girl. However, that wasn't entirely true because there were other girls whose beauty superseded hers."Zachary glanced at Mirabel and continued. "Dad, Mirabel is our guest and you shouldn't be asking her such kin
