The Billionaire’s Secret Affair

While driving, Andrius saw the beauty of the Metro at night. The business lights of the establishments that light up the darkness of the night. The streetlights along the way and the car lights mixed with the colorful neon wall signs. It was breathtaking. The young man could not help but hope that the whole Metro would remain as quiet and peaceful as the peace brought by the lights.

Arriving at the Mansion de Monterio, he immediately parked the car in his wide yard. He also smiled when he saw his sister’s car. They must have been inside his house.

Andrius made no mistake when he saw his nephews in the spacious living room and playing. The three young children were still fighting while the other two ignored it.

“Hey! What’s the matter kiddos? Where are your parents, again?”he asked them.

The children stopped at whatever they were arguing about and immediately approached him. He kissed them one by one on the cheek. Andrius loved kids. Somehow he wished to have his own. He smiled at the thought. Soon. He would definitely have it with Anya.

“Oh, there you are Andrius!”From nowhere Sofia, Andrius’sister appeared. She smiled as she put on the apron. She kissed and hugged him before turning to her children again.”Great! Let’s eat. Kids! Go to the kitchen and wash your hands. Athena, Icarus help your siblings, okay?”Sofia commanded the children.

“Hi, baby. Long time no see. I miss you!”Andrius said as he quickly kissed the top of his sister’s head.

Sofia hugged and stared at Andrius. Her eyebrows rose”Because you’re busy with Anya, you forgot about your beautiful sister. It’s a good thing that I’m not a jealous person,”Sofia replied while pouting.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Andrius laughed at what his sister said. He hugged her tightly again and patted her back. Then they proceeded to the kitchen. As they entered the dining area of​​the mansion, Zeus, his brother-in-law, immediately appeared to them and was busy preparing their food on the table.

“Hi, Andrius! How’s life, Bro? Long time no see,”Zeus greeted him. Andrius stared at him, which made his brother-in-law laugh out loud.”Move on, Bro,”he even teased him and shook his head. Before Zeus could return to the food preparation he was doing, he even winked at his sister who just laughed at him. He sat in the chair next to Icarus and watched Zeus help his wife get the chicken out of the electric oven. Andrius felt jealous all of a sudden but he knew sooner it would come to him.

Moments later, they all fell silent while eating. From time to time, Andrius watched her sister take care of her children. While his brother-in-law Zeus also takes care of his sister. Looking at the sight, he somehow wished that he would have the same thing. A responsible mother to their children and a loving wife to him. Andrius couldn’t wait for another day to be with Anya. He wanted to be with her so bad. Be with each other and build a family.

When Andrius finished eating, he went straight to his room. He took a bath before going to bed. It was his every night routine. When he came out of the bathroom, he found his sister waiting for him. Andrius smiled to Sofia who was holding the box for Anya.

Sofia waited for him for a while he entered his walk-in closet. It was big and pompous. All his belongings were neatly stacked inside. From office garments to ordinary clothes. It was organized as well as his belts and shoes. Moments later he opted for a simple jogging pants and white t-shirt. When he came out, Andrius smile to his sister. She was sitting on his bed while still holding the box. Her eyes twinkled as she stared at him.

“I’m happy for you, Andrius. Finally, you have chosen from all of your woman. Do you love her? Are you sure?”Sofia questioned him.

Andrius laughed at what his sister said. He turned her over and put her on his shoulder.”I have never been so sure in my life, baby. Even when I handled the company, I’m uncertain. But this one, it would be the most certain thing I would do. Are you with me, baby?”Andrius was almost emotional. He couldn’t deny the fact that he was excited and happy.

“I am happy for you, Andrius.”Sofia sobbed.

Andrius turned to Sofia. He squeezed his sister’s cheek when he saw her crying. But Sofia just kicked him in the arm while pouting. She stared at him and handed the box.”You’re my brother. I will support you every time, Andrius. As long as you’re happy. I am happy. You are my light way back when my life was in full darkness. And I am going to return the favor, big brother. I will be at your back tomorrow, I promise,”Sofia said while hugging him. She wiped the tears from her cheeks.

Andrius smiled. Everything was perfect.

The next day, everyone was busy preparing for the Annual Ball. Sofia was already in the venue. The Monterio Empire Annual Ball was an event to recognize the company’s most excellent employees. It was also gathered with popular guests and the company investors to raise funds for charity causes. Wealthy businessmen. Whether an ally or a business opponent. Even Arruba and her family representative were present at the event.

“Is everything ready, Montreal?”Andrius asked Kraius.

“Everything is set, Mr. Monterio. Relax! You look like you have diarrhea,”Kraius said teasingly. Andrius stared at Kraius because of his rude mouth but he just shrugged after.

As all started, Andrius glanced around. He smiled when he saw Anya from his seat on the stage with the HR Department. She was smiling while talking to the co-workers. When the emcee called him to give his message he immediately approached with self-confidence.

Andius thanked everyone and gave a little sermon too. While he was speaking, he saw his staff talking to Anya. He smiled when Anya nodded and walked towards the stage where he was. He watched her every step. He thought of every move of her feet that was approaching him.

Then he spoke,”The company’s success lies in the dedication of our employees. The whole Monterio Empire recognized each of your effort and passion for doing your job well. As your President, I am very happy with your performances.”

Everyone applauded of what Andrius said. At the same time, Anya stopped walking when she was right next to him. Andrius pulled Anya to the center of the stage and hugged her in front of the audience.

Andrius felt Anya’s body froze but he didn’t care. All he knew was he missed her so damn much. At the same time as he embraced Anya, the cameras around were on them.

Andrius didn’t waste any time. He grabbed the opportunity and kneel down in front of Anya. He took out the engagement box. Everyone sighed. Even Anya quickly covered her mouth to prevent a sob. When he looked at her, he could see the sadness and pain in her eyes but he ignored it.

“The King would be stronger if he had the Queen. I am the King. Would you be my Queen, Miss Anya de Vega?”Andrius said while opening the box.

An infinity design engagement ring immediately appeared in front of Anya’s eyes. It was surrounded by diamonds in its own infinity design. It looked so beautiful. Everything was also perfect. This has been what she hoped when she got her heart broken a long time ago. Someone who was brave enough to show her in the whole world. And it pained her more while looking at Andrius with hopeful eyes. She shifted her eyes and immediately saw Arruba’s smiling face.

“Will you marry me, Anya?”Andrius asked again while still staring her.

“N-No. I’m sorry, Andrius,”Anya replied while shaking her head. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stepped backward away from Andrius before stepping out of the area.
