The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz

"It seems that you had fun with your grandfather." Tyron said as they are preparing for bed.

"Yeah, he told me many stories during childhood that I forgot." Isabella said as she combs her hair. "After talking to him, the weight of despise and anger for a long time suddenly vanished. And I can breathe properly, I can go to bed without those mean thoughts against my grandfather. And it is all thanks to you, Tyron." She added and placed the comb on the table and looks at Tyron who is putting on his shirt. "Hmm? Me?" He asks and looks at her.

"Yeah." Isabella smiles. "You knock senses on my head when I was being stubborn, you made me realize that he is the only living relative I have." She said. Tyron approaches her and pats her head.

"I'm glad that I helped a little." Tyron said and smile.

"But why did you do that? I mean, aren't you angry with him?" Isabella can't help not to ask.

"Yeah. I am angry with him, your family is the cause of the feud but..." Tyron paused and carried her, making her scream in surprise.

"W-what are you..." She didn't get to finish her sentence when Tyron took a seat on their bed and he placed her on his lap.

"It is true that I hold a grudge on your family, and the reason why I agreed to marry you is because I will get hold of your grandfather's company and also to use you against him." Tyron said while looking straight to his eyes. "I told myself that I will do all means to hurt and torment you as you were the Don's beloved granddaughter."

Using her for revenge. She is actually well-aware of it; she once heard Tyron talking about it on the phone with his friend. But hearing it again from, she felt a huge pain on her chest.

"But I forgot all about revenge when we spend time together." Tyron said as he caresses her face. "How could I hurt someone as sweet and caring as you."

"But you hurt me with your words last night." She said.

"I'm sorry, that was because I felt betrayed and used by you that is why I told you those mean things." He said in a soft voice as he pulls her closer to his body.

"I understand and I am also sorry for keeping the truth from you." She said as she cups his cheeks. "But if you wanted to annul this marriage, I will not stop you from doing it." She said in a shaky voice.

"How about you, do you want to annul our marriage?" Tyron asks looking straight on her eyes.

"I...I don't." She softly answers, almost a whisper.

"I also don't want to annul our marriage, Bella." Tyron said. "I don't care about the money, if you wanted to annul it then I am willing to give you all my assets."

"But I don't want your money, Tyron!" Isabella said. "I don't care about wealth and power. All I want is "

"I know." Tyron said and kiss her passionately cutting her off. "I was just blinded by rage last night."

"Oh, Tyron!" Isabella exclaims in happiness as she wraps her hands around his neck. They stayed there for several minutes just hugging each other and feeling each other's warmth.

"Why did you agree on marrying me?" Tyron asks, breaking the silence making her sigh.

"I will be contradicting myself if I answer that question." She said and smiles bitterly. "I married you for money. My grandfather said that he will cover my debt from my mother's chemo but it turns out that you're the one paying the debt." "The money I'm putting on your account?"

"Yes, I have no choice. But don't get me wrong, Tyron. I originally planned to pay the debt using my salary as an actress but grandfather..." She sighs. "He got on the way, he used his connections to pull out my projects so that I will agree to marry you." "He sure is a cunning one." Tyron smiles.

"He sure is, and it is making me guilty. I mean, using your money to pay a debt that is not even existing in the first place."

"Well, that is all in the past, I'm sure the money is going to your other account being handled by your grandfather." Tyron said and place a kiss on her forehead.

"Oh yeah, do you believe that we actually meet when we were kids?" Isabella asks as she loosen her hands around his neck and looks at his eyes. "Really?" Tyron asks in confusion.

"Yep, grandfather told me earlier. They actually had videos and photos kept in the villa. It happened before the accident, you and your father went to visit the villa and we had a simple celebration. According to grandfather, my dad and your dad were close friends." She said making him frown. "I know it sounds crazy, but they wanted to end the feud once and for all. I tried asking about the accident, but grandpa really is convinced that it is not an accident. It was meant for my father alone but the culprit didn't expect the turn of events." "You mean, my father just got involved?"

"Unfortunately, yes, at least that's what my grandfather believes." Isabella answers; Tyron didn't say a word and sighs. "But that was just my grandfather's speculation, we don't really know the truth."

"It might be true, because he did everything, he can to protect you, to the point that he wants everyone to believe that he abandoned you and your mother." Tyron said. "And I will make sure to protect you now that the person behind the incident knows that you are visiting your grandfather at the hospital." Tyron said making her frown. "There are lots of people in the hospital and when we went there, there are medias everywhere reporting the hospitalization of your grandfather." Tyron said like he reads what is on her mind.

And now that he mentions it, she just realized that people were staring at them and even the nurses taking care of the old Don are surprised to see her there.

"You're not checking the news and you're not even picking Hal's call, so it is understandable that you're not aware of it." Tyron said.

"You're right." She agrees. "Last night, I didn't notice the media because I was really worried and confused about my grandfather." She sighs.

"What's the sigh for?" Tyron asks. "Is it about your safety? Don't worry, I will protect you."

"It's not that. It's just that I am tired of the media, I wonder what they are writing about me this time."

"A speculation of you being pregnant that is why we are at the hospital. Another one is me visiting Don Samuel to laugh at him. The feud is well-known to the public, so they are questioning my appearance there." "What the heck! Just let them say what they want to say but one day, they will eat their words!"

"Just let them be, you know how media works."

"And it is so frustrating!" Isabella said.

"Pay no mind to them. Right now, we have another business to deal with." Tyron said making her frown but was taken aback when he suddenly kisses her, slow and passionate at the same time.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
