The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz

Chapter 7

Tyron returned Zarina’s phone after talking…arguing with Isabella. He sighed as he took his seat. He

doesn’t know how to reach out to his wife, he’s been doing what he thinks is right to make their

marriage work.

They might be married because of a contract and not because of love but he still respects their

marriage and vows. But all Isabella did was to accuse him of having an affair with Reina. He did take

Reina for a dinner but it was a long time ago and it never happened again.

He went back to the documents he was reading earlier when his secretary knocks and opened the

door.

“Sir, Don Samuel Morgan is outside and wants to talk to you.” Zarina said making him frown.

“What does he want now?” He thought to himself.

“Sir? Should I let him in or—”

“Let him in.” Tyron answered. Zarina nodded and let the old Don in. “Don Samuel.” He said as soon as

the old Don entered his office.

“It’s good to see you, Tyron Cruz.” The Don said as he approaches.

“Take a seat, Don Samuel.” He said, firmly looking at the old man. He cannot help not to observe him

and frown. There is something wrong with the Don Samuel standing in front of him, the old man who is

screaming with power at first glance is no longer found.

“Don’t be so formal, we are now family, isn’t it?” The Don said grinning as he took a seat.

“Screw you!” He said firmly. “I may have married your precious granddaughter but I still haven’t

forgotten that you are the reason why father died!” He said as his eyes were raging with anger and

hatred towards the old Don.

“Don’t forget that my son is with your father that day, Tyron!” The Don said clenching his jaw. “What

happened is an accident.”

“no! It is not an accident.” Tyron said sternly. “You cannot just accept that your son and my father is in

good terms and you tried to pull them apart!”

“believe what you want to believe, Tyron.” The Don sighs as he shakes his head. “I am not here to

argue with you about the past.” He added. “I am here to talk to you about my granddaughter.” He sighs.

“Take good care of her, she’s the only living memory of my son. I know that your marriage with her is

sudden and you just agreed to it for the company, but please make her happy, Tyron.” He added.

Tyron is sure that he saw a hint of sadness and longing in the Don’s eyes but it suddenly gone in a

glimpse of an eye.

“I will take care of her even if you don’t ask.” He said and the Don nods and smile for a bit.

“That’s good then, I just want to make sure.” Don Samuel said and stood up. “I will not take your time

anymore. See you around as I will enjoy my retirement.” He added and heads to the door. “And oh,

Tyron, no parent wants to see his child die.” He said before leaving the office, leaving Tyron all

confused.

After Don Samuel’s sudden visit, Tyron tried to concentrate on his work but failed to do so. The Don’s

last words keep ringing on his ears.

“Damn!” He cursed and runs his fingers to his hair. “Is it possible that he really has nothing to do with

the incident?” He asked his self. “But Don Samuel is a conning man.” He sighs and toss the documents

aside and grabs his phone from the side.

He dialled Isabella’s number but it just kept on ringing. He called her multiple times until it was picked

by her manager, turns out that Isabella is doing a shoot.

“Please tell her to call me later when she’s done.” Tyron said before cutting the line. He doesn’t know

but he wanted to hear his wife’s voice.

Tyron can’t help not to frown and feel bored during their meeting, the marketing team is not doing their

job well, they keep on repeating what they had talk from their previous meeting.

“Stop!” He said, firmly and full of authority. It was not his nature to cut-off the person who is presenting

but this time he lost his patience.

“I hate the concept!” He said firmly. “I thought, I already informed you last meeting the points that I want

to see for the commercial.” He added, disappointed. “I want our commercial to be realistic and to show

various moral and values that it will touch the heart of the people and make them feel safe and secure

whenever they ride our airplanes. What I want is for the people to keep their trust in our airlines.” He

sternly said. “I expect the best presentation within two days, Miss Bella already accepted the offer and

our meeting with her will be held next week.” His employees suddenly felt the burden and murmured to

each other. “We have no choice because we can only get one day of her time next week. If there are

no other concerns, meeting adjourn!” He stood up and leave the conference room.

Tyron is seated on his office but he cannot do any work, he is bothered with his marriage with Isabella

and what Don Samuel said before leaving.

“No parent wants to see his child die.”

Don Samuel’s last words keep on ringing on his ears.

He lost his father nineteen years ago, at a young age, it was believed that what happened is an

accident but his family believed that it was Don Samuel’s fault. He just cannot accept the fact that his

son and his father are getting along and is planning to venture in to new business together.

The family feud between the Morgan and the Cruz started for three generations and until now there is

no definite reason of the cause. He grew up with the knowledge that the two families are at war but he

doesn’t know have any idea why. But what triggered him to hate the old Don is because he is the

reason why he lost his father at the age of seven. It was a very heart breaking and devastating phase

not just on him but his mother and brother.

It was only lately that he learned about the reason behind the feud. It turns out that Don Samuel’s

father took the Cruz’s company naming it Morgan Industries. And that is the very reason why he

wanted to have Morgan Industries, even if it means marrying someone from the family he loathes.

But why does it feel like everything is not right, especially when he’s with Isabella, he cannot feel the

hatred that he used to feel towards the Morgans. He even felt upset when his wife accused him of

having an affair.

“Damn!” He cursed and heave out a long heavy sigh. Just then his phone rings and it was Hal,

Isabella’s manager.

“Hello, Mister Cruz, what can I do for you?” Hal said making him frown.

“What are you implying, Hal? You’re the one who called me. And is my wife available now?” He asked.

“Oh, Bella? She’s here with me. Do you want to talk to her? Okay, I’ll hand her the phone.” Hal said

making him more puzzled.

“What do you need?” Isabella coldly asked.

“Isabella…” He uttered her name.

“If you don’t have any important thing to say then I’ll end the call, I am busy.” She coldly said.

“Look, Bella, I’m so sorry, okay?” Tyron said. “I will not hold you too long since you’re busy, but I’ll wait

for you at home.”

“You don’t have to wait for me. I don’t know what time we will be finish here.” She coldly said.

He insisted on picking her up after work but Isabella firmly rejected his offer, telling him to rest.

“But I can still manage.” Tyron insisted making her sigh.

“Listen to your wife, Tyron!” She raised her voice making him shock. Hearing her calling him his wife is

kind of pleasant to his ears. “You can pick me anytime but not today, okay? Take a rest. Please, just

listen to me for once. Do you want me to beg you?” she said, her voice becomes soft and calm, but

there is still a hint of desperation.

“Okay.” Tyron answered.

“Okay?” She asked. “Okay as in okay, you will go home early and sleep or the kind of okay, that I still

need to beg?” She said making him laugh.

“Okay, as in, okay, I will finish work early, go home and take a rest.” He said smiling and if anyone saw

him, they might think that he lost his mind.

“That’s good! I’ll see you at home then.” She said and ends the call.

Tyron puts down the phone with a smile on his face and finished his job early. He bought a bouquet of

red tulips and a box of chocolate; he plans to give it to Isabella. He also wants to apologize to her for

acting like a jerk earlier in the morning.

He went home that afternoon and took a rest as what his wife told her to do.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Tyron woke up quarter to midnight and his wife is still not home. He grabs his phone and tried calling

his wife but she didn’t pick up. He sighs. He decided to browse the net and check updates on the

weather and news when a certain article caught his eyes.

He frowns as he read the title, ‘JUST IN: Showbiz Scoop. Late night date? Phenomenal actress Bella is

seen going out of the prestigious restaurant with co-actor Anthony Alvarez.’ There is even a photo of it,

Bella is with Hal leaving the said restaurant, and the other photo is Anthony at the entrance. He

continued reading the article and found out that Bella is being linked to Anthony for months already.

“Damn you!” Tyron cursed and threw his phone against the wall. He felt betrayed. His wife is accusing

him of having an affair but turns out that she is also hiding something.

His eyes caught the tulips he placed in the vase and he threw it on the floor. Just then, Isabella opened

the door with worried eyes.

“Tyron, what’s happening?” She asked, her eyes fall on the broken vase on the floor and flowers and

his broken phone. “Are you okay?” She asked again, worried, as she approached him.

“You’re accusing me of having an affair, but what are you doing?” He firmly asked making Isabella

flinched.

“Oh gosh, you read the article.” She said, worried. “Please, let’s go and talk in the other room. You’re

barefooted and you might hurt yourself.”

“Oh, acting like you are worried about me, eh?” He said sarcastically.

“Please, Tyron, we can talk in the other room as Nana Helen and rose clean the room.”

“Talk? We have nothing to talk about, Isabella.” He said and walk pass through her not bothering if he

might step unto a broken piece of the vase, but the thought of Isabella being on another man’s arms is

more painful to handle.
