The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz

As soon as they entered the kitchen, Bella noticed that the housekeepers who are busy preparing the shanghai looks at her. "Mom, what did you already cooked?" Bella asks as she wash her hands.

"We just finished making desserts, mango float and fruit salad." Ivy answered. "We also have spaghetti, that's the kids favorite."

"The chicken we will fry is marinated. We will also make pork steak." Maja said.

"Tyron's favorite is pork steak so, it is a must." Ivy said. "We don't even know now what to cook."

"What ingredients do we have?" She asks as she puts on the apron Maja gave her. "Do we have vegetables?"

"Yes, we have cabbage, broccoli, carrots and beans here." Maja said as she showed her the vegetables.

"Let's make stir-fry chicken and pork with vegetables." She said. "Are the kids picky with vegetables?"

"No, they will eat what is given to them." Maja answers.

"That's good." She said. "Most kids nowadays don't want to eat vegetables."

"They are picky at first but Miguel talked to them." Maja said.

"You are blessed with good kids." She smiled. "Anyways, is there something special today? Why are we having a feast?" She asks making the people around her shock. "Tyron didn't say a word to you?" Ivy asks, frowning.

"None, mom. He just told me that we will be having a dinner that's all." She answers making Ivy sigh.

"So that is the reason why he said not to greet him in front of you. I thought he have something in mind." Ivy said making her puzzle.

"Today is Tyron's 28th birthday, Bella." Maja said making dumbfounded. She really is clueless when it comes to her husband.

"Oh, right! Yeah... That's today, I thought it was tomorrow." She reasoned out. "I really messed up big time." She added. "Do we still have pork left?" She asks, trying to divert the subject. Ivy didn't ask anymore but she just look at her. "We still have pork, where will you use it?" Maja asks.

"Sweet and sour pork." She answers as she prepares the ingredients and Maja helps her on slicing the vegetables.

"I didn't know that you can cook." Maja commented.

"My mom taught me how to cook when I was young." She said. "According to her the only way to the man's heart is through his stomach. Her cooking is her secret weapon why my dad is head over heals for her."

"Did you also got hold of Tyron's heart because of your cooking?" Maja teased.

"No, actually, it is my first time cooking for him." She said. "I was supposed to cook for him last week, but I was so busy." She added.

"Oh, so that's the reason why he wanted you to help us out here in the kitchen." Ivy said,

"Actually, he is just challenging me, mom. He wanted me to admit that I don't know how to cook." She said. "He just doesn't believe that I know how to cook."

"Goodness, that kid, really!" Ivy sighs. "Please keep up with him."

"Don't worry, mom, I'm used to him." she smiles. "In a short time of living together, I already saw different sides of him. and he really is sulky."

"He really is, Bella. He's the sulkiest between them and Miguel. I remember when they were still a kid, their father didn't buy the toy Tyron wants and guess what he did. He didn't talk to his father for two whole days." Ivy said. "Seriously, ma? He's sulking for two days?" She uttered in shock.

"Yes, that's why his father had no choice but to buy that toy." Ivy answers making her laugh.

"I can't believe that guy." She slightly shakes her head.

"Bella, I have a question, I hope you will not take it against me." ivy said making her nervous. "How did you and Tyron meet? Every time I ask him, he doesn't want to answer me."

"We meet each other through my grandfather." She said the truth.

"But why did the two of you decided to get married hastily?" Ivy asks. "Don't get me wrong, dear, it is not that I don't like you for my son. It's just that I am confused."

"I propose to her on the spot, mom. It was love at first sight." Tyron answers making them shock. He approaches Bella and slide his hand on her waist and kiss her temple. "I miss you already, wifey." He said. "Tyron, I'm preparing the ingredients for the pork I'm going to cook." She said but Tyron pulls her closer to him. "I know that you miss me already but later, okay? I'll cook something delicious for you."

"Tyron, stop pestering you wife." Ivy warns her son. "Go and see your brother."

"Fine." Tyron grunted before placing a kiss on Bella's temple. "I'll see you later."

It is already nine in the evening when Bella and Tyron just got home.

"Why didn't you tell me that today is your birthday?" Bella asks as soon as they entered the house.

"It didn't really matter." Tyron answer making her sigh. "Well at least now you know." He shrugs.

"If we didn't go to your mother's house, I will not know it. You should have told me so that I can prepare a gift for you." She pouts. "I just want you first birthday with me to be memorable."

"Well, today is indeed a memorable one." Tyron said as he pulls her closer to him. "You did surprise me with your cooking. And you being with me is enough."

"I have a question for you." She sternly said. "When is my birthday?"

"August 28, 1994." He answers making her sigh. "What's with the sigh? It's only natural that I know your birthday, after all, I'm your husband."

"Yeah right." She pouts making him sigh.

"Why don't we go on a date tomorrow then?" Tyron asks. "Let's start from the bottom. Let's make use of the following days to get to know each other."

"That will work for me, but what about your work?" She asks.

"My company will function without me." He said. "Besides, getting to know you more is important right now." He added.

The following morning, Tyron take Isabella on a date his private yatch and they spend their time talking about each other's favorites and hobbies. They were even spotted having a date on the park and dining in one of the prestigious restaurants in the country. Articles all about them were published, saying that it is only part of the promotion of her new drama and such.

"you seem to be in a good mood, today." Hal said while they are both in the waiting room. Jenny just finish applying make-up on her, today, she's a guest on one of the famous talk show in town. "You look stunning and blooming." Hal added.

"You are just jealous." She teases back making her manager groan.

"So, are we already expecting little Belle and Tyron?" Hal asks.

"As of the moment, none." She answers as she checks her reflection on the mirror.

"So, you are planning?" Hal asks making her sigh.

"Tyron wants an heir to his empire." She answers.

"Who wouldn't want to?" Hal said. "I mean, every man wants to have a son that would continue their legacy."

"I know, but I don't know if I'm ready." Bella sighs. "I saw how he treated his niece and nephew and I am sure that he will become a good father.

"Then why are you hesitating?" Hal asks.

"I don't know, maybe because the marriage is not real from the start." She bitterly smiles. Hal looks at her for a minute and took a seat beside her.

"Bella, tell me honestly, are you starting to have feelings for your husband?" Hal asks.

"The more I spent time with him, the more I come to know the real him. He is different from those articles I read about him." She sighs. "Whenever he's around, my heart is beating fast."

"You're starting to fall with your husband." Hal exclaimed.

"And I'm afraid that he might find out that I'm deceiving him." She sighs.

"You are not deceiving him, Bella." Hal said but she slightly shakes her head. "Everything he knew about me is fake, Hal. He might not know it but I am aware that the old man gave him my made-up profile." She bitterly smiles. "And I am sure that the old man is scheming something."

"You can't be too sure, Bella." Hal said.

"He has something on his sleeves, Hal, and I'm sure of that. Why would he suddenly have showed up his self after 19 years?" She frowns. "I don't know what did they agreed with Tyron but I am sure that Tyron is already making drastic measures or loopholes so that he can easily annul our marriage without losing the Morgan Industries." She bitterly smiles. "And I am just waiting for that to happen."

"But do you want to?" Hal ask making her smile bitterly.

"I don't know." She answers. "Honestly, I wanted to spend more time with Tyron until everything falls apart."

""Oh, Bella." Hal can't seem to find words to say.

"Let's not talk about this, Hal, it is depressing." Bella smiles.

"If you say so." Hal said and sighs. "I don't want to bring this up, but I am sure that they will ask you this." He said as he is hesitant to show her his phone.

"What is that, Hal?" She asks, frowning and grab the phone from Hal.

"It's about Reina's live interview." Hal said, making her raise an eyebrow.

"And what does she how to do with me?" She asks.

"See for yourself." Hal said and played the video.

It is a live evening talk show hosted by Sheryl, and the guest is Reina.

"You are a successful model, Reina, but may I ask, how is your love life?" Sheryl asks. "Two months ago, you were seen with Tyron Cruz in one of a famous restaurant. There are even rumors that you two are together. My question is, what is your real relation with Tyron?" "Well, Tyron is a great man, and he is a man any woman could ever dream off. But don't be blind by what you see nor hear." Reina said. "The dinner only happens once because I learned that he is already a married man. And I don't want to be with a man who is already committed." Reina smiles-a fake one that even the host raised her eyebrow.

Sheryl cleared her throat before reacting. "What? Tyron is already married?"

"Yes, he is. And I don't have any idea who the woman is but this is not a fake news." Reina confidently said. "If I didn't learn the truth then maybe he is still using me until today." She added.

"Well, I don't know what to say." Sheryl cleared her throat. "But there are speculations, rumors and sightings of Bella and Tyron Cruz, what is your stand on it?"

"Just a piece of advice, Bella." Reina looked at the camera, as if she's staring at Bella. "Get to know your date first before going serious or else you will end up being hurt. But I guess that's too late." Reina grinned. "It seems that you've been going out for quite some time now. So, what does that call you now, Miss Bella, the phenomenal star? Well, it can't be helped, Tyron is a good in bed."

"I think that's below the belt already, Reina." Sheryl said sternly. "There is no basis for all of these speculations. Besides, if it is true that Tyron Cruz is married, how come that it didn't even went public? It is known that the Cruz is one of the influential family in the country." Sheryl asked, irritated at the model's actions.

"I don't know but one thing is for sure," Reina looked at the camera. "Tyron Cruz is already married, ladies and gentlemen, and the word came from his own mouth!" She grins, and that is when where the video ends.

Bella scrolls down to the comment section to read the public's opinion.

"I have a hunch that they will asks you about this since Sheryl is one of the hosts." Hal said, worried.

Bella didn't say anymore but continued scrolling down the comment section until something caught her attention.

"Oh, this sounds familiar." She said and laughs.0¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
