Billionaire’s

Chapter 19

Upon hearing his words, a profound sorrow enveloped me, and I gazed at him, lost in thought as I stared out the window. I empathized with him. recognizing the immense challenge he faced in concealing his true self and navigating his relationships. If only society wouldn’t pass judgment so humbly: then, he wouldn’t have to wish for acceptance.

I tightly clunched his handkerchief, fighting back the urge to cry once more. I was akin to my mother, who would w improved or I numbed my emotions.

Dear God. if you can hear me, I pray that Papa’s condition is not critical and that he recovers. The thought that he was stabbed pains and worries me deeply. Why would anyone do such a thing?

1 yearned to call Abigail, to confide in her about what had transpired, I needed her by my side as I poured out my thoughts. But I know she’s busy and tired at this hour. I’m sure, she was sleeping soundly, and I don’t want to inconvenient her.

I couldn’t bear to see Mana hurt again, witnessing her pain and extreme anxiety was unbearable. I had no idea what to do next.

Upon our arrival at the mansion, Achilles opened the door for me, while Davin stepped out first but didn’t leave. I couldn’t bring myself to look at him or anyone at that moment, I wanted to be alone until I could manage my feelings and the pain I was experiencing in my life.

Thank

k you.” I said to Achilles, unable to smile, and my eyes were heavy with tears that threatened to escape once more.

“I’m sorry, Miss. I hope everything gets better for you.” he said with concern before returning to the car. I didn’t know if things would indeed get better, especially with Papa’s critical condition

Davin stood still, waiting for me to step inside the front door. I walked until I reached the entrance door, which was opened by a maid waiting outside. I thought Davin would follow, but when I looked back, he had gone in the opposite direction, towards the back door. It was a question in my mind–why? It seemed closer to his office room if he went in front rather than the back, something about him puzzled me.

“Miss!” Dayna said and approached me with a hug. “Are you okay, Miss? Nothing happened to your Her innocent face showed concem. Her actions made me emotional and tears welled up in my eyes.

Dayna’s hug tightened, and her worried expression was evident in her eyes. “Miss, are you okay!” she asked again.

I wiped away my tears and smiled, saying, “Yes, I’m just tired.”

“Is that so! Please have a meal, Miss. Your dinner is ready” Dayna replied.

“I’ve already eaten,” I made an excuse. “I have some food here; perhaps you’d like it. It would be a shame to throw it away. I handed the corn dogs to Dayna, who took them without hesitation

“Thank you, Miss,” she said with delight. “I’ve never had these before.”

“They’re delicious,” I said as we walked up the stairs. Dayna took one and started eating. Yes, they are. These might become my new favorite

“Miss, it seems like something’s bothering you. Did you and Sir have an argument?” she asked.

“No, wh

why you say so?” I opened the bedroom door and stepped inside.

“Sir called, asking if you were here yet. You usually come home by six, so he might have been worried that you hadn’t arrived yet. That’s why I thought there might have been an argument,” she explained,

“We didn’t have an argument. He just shared some news with me. I explained and headed to the bathroom to clean up before sleeping.

“I see, Miss,” Dayna s

said, finishing all three corn dogs as I noticed her standing near the bathroom.

Tim going to bed now. You should rest too, I told her before closing the door.

tomorrow.

I saw my reflection in the mirror with my tired, teary eyes. I let out a deep sigh. “I cried in front of Davin again, including his secretary, and I even rried in front of Dayna. I need to control my emotions and stop thinking negatively; it’s not helping. I told myself. I hope Davin will have answer

I was about to sleep when there was a knock on the door. I didn’t want to get up, but I thought maybe Dayna needed something or had forgotten something inside. After all, I had tocked the door

I walked slowly before opening the door, not expecting to see D

to see Davin on the other side.

“You haven’t eaten yet,” he said, avoiding eye contact.

THE 라그나로크

Chapter 19

That’s when I slowly realized I was wearing a nightgown without a bra, and it was somewhat thin. My cheeks turned crimson as I half–closed the dour, concealing my body. I thought it was Dayna, I hadn’t expected Davin to be outside.

“I’m still full, and besides. I’m tired and want to sleep. I explained to him

“The food is already prepared; it would be a waste to just throw it away,” he said, looking at me. “Do you v even more! Look at how thin you are.”

“My body is healthy even if I’m thin,” I argued. “And I really don’t have an appetite right now.”

“I wouldn’t tell you about your father’s condition if you don’t cat,” he said.

Was he really threatening me with that?

“You’re just joking.” I said.

He slightly tilted his head to the left, his expression serious. “Am I joking to you?”

He was indeed serious. I wanted to know how my father was doing. It was frustrating that he insisted I eat. I had no appetite, couldn’t he understand

that?

“I’ll be waiting for you in the dining room,” he said and left me.

I angrily closed the door behind him b

because it meant I had no choice. It was either yes or yes.

I headed to the walk–in closet and changed into a black shirt and a knee–length shorts before heading downstairs.

When I arrived in the dining area, he was already seated at the table with food set for two people. He was wearing a simple green sweater and a pants, his hair was damped and a bit messy like he didn’t comb it.

It was the first time I would be eating with him.

“Sit, eat while we talk about it,” he said, as if I were his employee, the way he said it.

I followed his instructions, and I prayed before starting my meal. He stared at me that I noticed after I prayed.

Hadn’t he seen someone prayed before seeing his reaction

“What?” I asked, curious, but he just shook his head.

I started eating, t

“Yes, for the meantime, your father won’t stay in jail. The lawyer’s request for him to be under house arrest has been approved due to the risk life, Davin replied

I hadn’t

“When did I ever joke with you so that you won’t believe me?” he sarcastically said, taking another bite of his beef steak. “Hell be staying in the house I’ve provided. You can visit him there.”

Tears welled up in my eyes suddenly, threatening to escape,

“Thank you for doing this, Davin,” I said happily, wiping away the tears.

“I’m just fulfilling my part of the agreement in the contract you signed, he explained. “I expect you to do yours.”
