THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

“What was that about? What was Edward talking about? Who exactly are you?”, Daniel asked, facing Allison. He had confronted her upon them getting home from the event. He had kept on thinking about Edward’s allegations against Allison on their way home.

“Could she truly be Molie? Did she actually staged Catherine’s death?”, he kept on thinking while stealing glances at her.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

“I …. I ….. can explain”, Allison said, stammering as she realized she was about to be caught.

“Were you scared I wouldn’t accept you if I found out you were the one? Were you scared I would leave you and our son just as I had done before?”, gullible Daniel cut in, saving Allison from getting exposed. Realizing it was a perfect umbrella for her to hid under, Allison pretended as if she was actually scared of what Daniel had said.

“Yes, I was. I had thought you would abandon us again just like you did. I didn’t want to cause Edward more pain as he was badly hurt due to the death of his mother. Hence, the reason I hid my son away and denied him of his fatherly love”, Molie, also known as Allison said, shedding crocodile tears. She knew the only way to escape being suspected by Daniel was to play the pity card and play along with Daniel

“That night, when you chose the company over us, I felt really betrayed and hurt. While on my way back home that night amidst tears, I was attacked by a gang of thugs and it turned out they were sent by Catherine’s father. He blamed me for Catherine’s death and wished for me to be with her where she was but luckily, I escaped death. After I was able to escape from the hooligans’ grips, I ran home and alongside with my parents and Richard, we ran off to another town. We were living fine in the other town until three months later, when Catherine’s father found us again and set our house on fire. My parents were burnt to death but I managed to escape with half of my face burnt with Richard in my arms”, Allison lied, looking into Daniel’s eyes to see if he was actually falling for her lies. When she realized that she had finally gasped Daniel’s attention and he seemed to be falling for her lies, she continued.

“While I ran away form the burning house that night with Richard in my arms, I had collapsed in front of my new parents who are my foster parents’ car. They decided to help us after seeing us in such a devastating state. Their daughter, who was named Allison had died a week before we met. When I narrated my ordeal to them, they decided to protect me by changing my face and my identity. Therefore, they gave me their dead daughter’s face and her identity. I wanted to tell you who I was the day we met again but the fear of you cutting me off again, made me halt. I was so happy to see you and enjoyed every moment we spent together. I am sorry I lied to you and I have been deceiving you this whole time. I just didn’t want to lose you again”, Allison said, crying profusely just to make her acting looked real and make Daniel believe her.

“I am sorry I made you go through all these. I know I have hurt you and our child a lot in the past. Since that night, I had been trying to reconnect with you and our child. I searched every nook and cranny for you two but you were nowhere to be found. I had thought I had lost you two forever and I have been living my whole life, atoning for the crime I committed against you. I deeply regret my decision and no day had passed without me thinking about you. I must be so daft to have not realized who you are despite you being around me all these while. I am sorry, my love”, Daniel said in a remorseful voice, expressing his feelings and regrets to Molie. He pulled Molie in for a hug to ease her of her cries and pains. Molie took advantage of this and rested her head on Daniel’s shoulders while at the same time, smiling, as she had successfully cajoled Daniel into believing her.

“Now that you two are back in my life, I promise to cherish you and never let go of you again. It’s a promise. Do you believe me?”, Daniel asked, making Molie faced him and holding her by her shoulders. Molie nodded her head in affirmation to what Daniel had asked.

“Can you call Richard over now? I need to meet him officially as my son. He needs to take his place as a heir of Lion Fashion Group”, Daniel said, feeling eager to meet with Richard.

“Actually, I do not know his whereabout currently. We had a misunderstanding some weeks ago and since then, she had been nowhere to be found. I had tried calling his line and had frequented his place countless times but my efforts so far have proved abortive”, Molie said in a very low and sad voice, wanting Daniel to feel pity for her.

“Don’t worry. I will make my team search for him and have him brought in. I will make sure we unite with our son and live as one big family. Come her”, Daniel said, motioning for Molie to come in for a hug. Just as they were in their mood of romance, Daniel’s bodyguard, Bill rushed in, making the two love birds break free.

“There is an urgent situation I need to report to you, sir”, Bill said, with urgency in his voice.

“Go ahead and speak”, Daniel motioned for him to carry on.

“Young Master Edward was involved in an accident and he is currently at the hospital in a critical condition”, Bill reported.

“What? Daniel exclaimed with shock in his voice and his face turned pale. Molie on the other hand had smiled, seeing that as an opportunity for Richard to finally take control of Daniel’s company.
