The Odd Billionaire

Matthew

As time passed by, day by day, my amazement at her became an interest, and I ended up liking her. How can I not like her?

She is gorgeous as hell. She is so family-oriented, a good cook, and can work well. She is a sexy person who can't even say sweet things- but that is how she lives, and I still like her after that.

I was able to learn about her life with her brother, Lyndon. I can't ask her about this matter, she is too off about it. Although Lyndon tells me some stories about them, he still does not tell me the stories that are too sensitive and I MUST respect that.

At first, I thought girls were all the same. I can make them come to me because I am rich, but that can't compare to her. I even offered her that I could give her a bunch of money. What did I receive from her? Her two middle fingers with her mad face.

I also thought that I would be able to make her fall in love with me right away. I did not know that it was really hard to get her attention.

Anyway, all what matters today is that I am hers and she is mine.

"Wife, when do you want us to get married?" I asked.

"It is still early for that, though, and," she answered. "If you want to get married right this instant-"

"What? Will you let me marry you now?" I excitedly interrupted her.

"No," wife answered, shaking her head. "You can marry yourself if you are too in a rush." she added.

How cold, Wife.

"After a year? How about that?" I asked again.

"Let's see. I hope I won't regret having you as my boyfriend so that I can say yes to your proposal." she answered.

"Why would you even regret having me as your boyfriend?" I asked. "I am rich, I am handsome, I am a genius, and lastly, I am manly."

"That is not what I am talking about." she retorted.

She does not have any problem with it?

"Then what is it?" I asked.

"That I might die young. I need to take care of you like a kid." she answered.

"That's mean."

She laughed.

How pretty.

I would gladly listen to what she said a while ago.

"If we are still together next year, let's get married." she suddenly said.

"Okay! That's-what? You will marry me if we are still together next year?" I asked, to make sure I heard it right.

"Yeah" she answered.

"We are not going to break up, wife. I am sure that we are still together next year. You said it already, so no taking your words back." I told her.

She nodded. "Of course, I don't have any plans to marry another man if it is not you." she answered.

That reply was too awesome for me to bear it.

"Before you guys get married, please answer the calls first." Archane on the door said. Looking at us with his eyes as if they were criticizing us. Right.

"Wife, what should we do about it?" I asked.

"Let's just tell them the truth, we can not hide from them forever. If we tell them today about us, we won't worry about it tomorrow or the next few days. So, I think let's just tell them." wife replied.

Well, after what happened with the abduction, her mother told the media about her identity and even their background. That is why we are currently staying in Dad Albert's house for days already.

I don't mind staying here though. It is more fun and I am so comfortable with them that I don't even want to go home.

"Shall we tell them right now?" I asked.

"Wait, right now? As in?" Archane commented.

"So that, we won't deal with them after that," my wife answered. "Let's change our clothes to a semi-formal one. Archane, tell Dad about this." she added. "Okay, if this really gives us our freedom back." Archane said before he left the sala.

"Won't Lyndon and Layzen be affected by this?" I asked, worried that they may have ruined their privacy.

"It's okay," she answered. "They are already affected by it. If we explain everything to them, they won't bother us anymore. This is the only way we can do it."

If I were not a big deal, we wouldn't be having these kinds of problems anymore.

"I am sorry to cause you guys trouble." I apologized.

"You don't have to. Change first and call for a conference in your company." she said.

I nodded and did what I had to do. After announcing that we were having a conference in Grand Finance, the media crowded the entrance already. After we made sure that we were all set, we headed to the Grand Finance. "Will they ask questions about me?" Layzen asked.

"They might, but just tell them what you really know." I told him.

"Just think of it as a recitation in your school, Layzen." Lyndon commented.

"How can it be a recitation when he has to answer them all?" Archane said.

"Stop bickering, it will continue to be a long battle." My wife interrupted.

They do bicker a lot with each other. They just can't bicker when Traizle is around. That is how her charisma can make them shut up.

"If you don't want to answer them, just say sorry." Dad Albert advice to Layzen. "You also don't have to answer them all, okay?" "Okay, Dad."

After a few minutes, we went out to the conference and stood in front of them. They are all shocked by what they are seeing.

I am with Traizle's family.

"Good morning, I am Matthew Zarsuelo, and we are here to explain every detail you need to know." I started.

I looked at my wife. She nodded before getting the mic.

"I am Traizle Cerezo, he is Lyndon Cerezo, and Layzen Cerezo." She started introducing themselves. "The one who outed this issue is my mother, Isabel Cerezo and yes, me and Matthew are in a relationship. I am also his secretary in his company." she added.

Why am I more nervous than she is?

"Before we even met each other, I was doing multiple jobs. Waitresses in the restaurant, couriers in the Snack Bar, and staff at the convenience store. I need to work, for us to live and survive. My family before was not that great either. My mom and dad were always fighting. That is why I was never able to finish my studies because I needed to work at a young age for my brothers. One day, they separated, and after a few months, our mother left us without a word," she shared. "I met Matthew and asked me to work at his company, who would not ever accept an offer that could help you and your family? We fell in love with each other. I won't deny that."

What should I say next after her?

"While keeping our secret relationship, my mother came out and she is in a relationship with the owner of Limede. She started to make someone follow us, she tried to get my brothers back, and even threatened Matthew to accept their business proposal so they would not tell the media about us. That's when I learned that my real father was him, Albert Andrade. His son, Archane Andrade, even helped me with everything and treated me as his own older sister. My Dad, save me from my mother."

"We don't want to come with our Mom, because she all knows how to make herself happy and beat us whenever she wants. Traizle did all her best to make us go to school and live every day. I hope you can stop bashing her when you don't know who she is." Lyndon added.

"Matthew liked my sister first," Layzen commented. "Do not hurt my sister." he added.

"I am their real father and we got to be together this year. I hope you can give us our freedom and privacy. That is why she decided to do this for this issue to stop now." Dad Albert added.

"We plan to file a case against those people who are all known to judge and slander us in person or may be on social media. We are hoping for respect and privacy. We all have our own life and we want to do what we want freely. We are not idols or artists to begin with. We are from a normal family." Archane commented as well.

"It is very hard for them to tell you this all, but they ended up saying it because of me. I am sorry and sad at the same time that they need to share their hardest moments with everyone that they should be kept in the first place," I started. "The truth is, I have liked Traizle since then. She helped me once when we were still young. She saved me from the men who wanted to harm me and even told me to use my skills for good. That is how I became a business man. I entered showbiz life because I thought she might be able to find me in that way. That is why when I finally found her, I did everything to make her work and fall in love with me." I added.
