Billionaire's Secret Daughter

{Mature content} Slow burn: so be warned She is a billionaire's daughter in search of true love, despite all the heartbreaks she has been through... He is a tycoon's son looking for true love... when their paths cross will there be a great love story between these two? ********* "What do you think about Elias?" Esmeralda blinked dumbly at her father, her mind turning blank. Noticing his daughter's expression, the older man chuckled. "I had a conversation with Patrick yesterday." Hearing the name of her father's dear friend, Esmeralda's heart dropped. She didn't have a good feeling about where this conversation was going. "He had brought up a brilliant suggestion." Her father's eyes practically sparkled with excitement, a direct contrast to the building dread in Esmeralda's stomach. "My dear, how do you feel about marrying Elias?" Elias was Patrick's son, someone that Esmeralda had grown up with. However, that was all he was to her. Elias is just a friend and nothing more to her. "I don't like Elias that way, Dad." Esmeralda frowned. "You don't?'' Mr. Fernandez asked after hearing his daughter's reply. Esmeralda exhaled. "Dad, look, Elias and I are just friends. Nothing more." "But you two were so close growing up. It would be a good match, Esmeralda," her father said. Silently, Esmeralda tightly clenched her fists at her sides, trying her best to contain herself. Her father was always like this-- once he had made a decision, he wouldn't listen to any other suggestions, even if he was the one that had asked for those differing opinions in the first place. "But Dad--" "Who knows?" Mr. Fernandez cut in before Esmeralda could finish her sentence. "As the saying goes, no good relationship starts without a good friendship first. After your marriage, you might both develop feelings for each other." "Elias and I--" Ignoring her, he continued, "The boy might even welcome the arrangement. We always thought that he had a thing for you." With a wink, Mr. Fernandez stood up from his seat. "Try talking to him first so that we can get an idea of what he feels about this arrangement, alright? If he has feelings for you, it wouldn't be too bad an idea to get married," he said. Walking over, he gave his daughter's shoulder a light squeeze. All Esmeralda felt were the chains on her body tightening. She didn't want this marriage; she didn't need to be bound by it. However, nothing she was saying was getting through to her father. "I'm sure that after you see how much he loves you and how good he is, you will eventually learn to love him too." With those final words, Mr. Fenandez left the room, leaving his daughter to simmer in the aftershock of the news he had just dropped on her. Like it?

And if the girl tries to ask any questions then she will just tell her that they are going to be family soon so it will be good if they were to be close to each other and it will be cooler if they are to be friends as well. Besides since she is Elias's sister and she is Esmeralda's, who better than the both of them who know both their siblings in and out is perfect to help bring them closer to each other than the two of them.

And with all this her perfect plan she is sure the young girl won't even suspect nor find it suspicious either if she tries to get close to her a little too much.

"Wow! This place looks so beautiful!'' Esmeralda utters immediately when they reached the place where the engagement is to be held.

"But not more beautiful than you…" Elias comments while smiling at her.

Esmeralda smiled shyly at Elias's words.

"And that's also all thanks to the hard work and dedication you have put into this sis." She said while smiling more at Linda.

Mr. Fernandez who was watching how Esmeralda smiled at Elias's words although he is far away from them to hear what the young man had said knows and confirmed again that he made the right and best choice by matching these two children together.

"They look just perfect beside each other right Robert?'' Mr. Watson who was beside Robert Fernandez said.

"They don't just look perfect standing beside each other Patrick, but look perfect with each other and make the best couple ever." Mr. Fernandez replied to his best friend Patrick Watson who is also Elias's father.

"Come on sis… although I like the compliment, you don't forget you deserve all this and the best and more." Linda who moved closer to Esmeralda replied and hugs her as she smiles.

"You are the best sister ever… you that right?'' Esmeralda who hugged Linda even more tightly said.

"No, actually I don't know that you know.'' Linda jokingly said.

"Then you should now because you are the best sister ever Linda Jones Fernandez!'' Esmeralda exclaimed while smiling hard.

"Wow! That's your name? I didn't know, I thought you both are just friends.'' Surprised Diane asked and said.

In unison, while looking and smiling at each other, Linda and Esmeralda, "We aren't just best friends but sisters as well you see Diane.'' They replied to her.

"But wait a minute… didn't your brother tell you this?'' Linda purposely asked.

"No, big bro didn't and that's only because I didn't ask him at all and that's also because I thought you both are just best of friends." Young Diane said and defends her elder brother.

"So please don't be mad at him sister in law please!" she added and pleads with Esmeralda.

"Of course not Diane… am not mad at him at all,'' Esmeralda assured her.

Linda leaves Esmeralda's side and moved to Diane's, "Don't worry Diane; my sis won't be mad at him at all." She said to Diane.

"Right sis?'' she asked Esmeralda in other to convince the young Watson.

"Yes of course you are right, beside am not mad at him at all and won't be mad either,'' Esmeralda replied and reassured Diane.

Hugging Diane Linda said, "Now that you know we are also sister-in-laws Diane, you and I must make sure to be close to each other more so that can have a great relationship together alright''

"And when you need anything from a sister at all Diane and Esmeralda is not available, you can just come to me okay?'' she added.

"Yes! Of course sis Linda.'' Diane happily said while smiling and giggling.

Linda smiled back at her and both Elias and Esmeralda couldn't help but also smile at the scene of both their two sisters in front of them. The two will get along really well and that is just perfect.

"Don't worry sis Linda… both you and I will spend more time together from now on!" Diane said to Linda with her face full of happiness.

Both Robert Fernandez and Patrick Watson who are busy watching their kids and the scene in front of them as well couldn't help but also smile as well and be more proud of themselves for putting this great alliance together, not only are the two children getting engaged today happy with it but also the rest are also getting along very well and that's is the best thing that can ever happened right now because this great alliance has really bring them more tighter and closer than they ever were.

'fool… you have no idea how the question you just asked helped me so very much in my plan of getting close to you at all, you and everyone might be very happy with this but am not at all like I said earlier you are indeed just a very foolish and naïve little girl… hahahah' Linda utters in her mind while still smiling widely from the outside.

"Okay, it's set then…both you and I will get more close to each other and will create the most incredible sisterly bound that exit," Linda said to Diane while smiling very highly as well.

If only the foolish girl could see her motive behind all this, is all the thoughts going on inside her head right now.

She moved away and break the and Diane are having and say, "And sis, about this all places decoration, am not the only one to be given the credit of how awesome and beautiful the place is decorated because both Dad, aunt Vanessa, and Petro also had a hand on how this place looks so beautiful today as well and of course not to forget you as well… you also made sure that everything is in other as well. So don't give me all the credit alone okay!'' she smiled.

"Okay, Linda… we all have a hand in how this place looks then if you insist, but still don't forget you were the one who was always budging and threatening the poor decorator company telling them to do a good job all the time that made them even think that there was a change in the bride and you are the new bride to be and not me that's why you are so much on top of everything."

Esmeralda knows Linda is just like that, and if she doesn't agree to what Linda said to her then this conversation has no time of ending today. Beside how can she miss the chance of making Esmeralda think more highly of Petro since she likes him oh no, love him so much.

"Sis, Speaking of the decoration, I have something to show you come let's go…" Linda said and held Esmeralda's hands, "Brother in law am so sorry but I have to steal her for a moment from you!" she said to Elias while giving him a wide smile.

Elias smiling back at her, "of course you can take her with you." He replied.

"Alright then byee…Diane see you around." She said to both the Watson siblings and drag Esmeralda along with her.

They both left Elias and Diane behind.

"O no! big bro, I almost forgotten mom is looking for you and asked me to call you for her so that she can introduce you to one Mrs…'' she paused not remembering the name of the woman her mother said earlier.

Elias exhaled and bubbled his head close to is sister's face, "Let's just forget it since you can't remember what she said exactly and let's go look for mom okay?"

"So stop any attempt of remembering what she said earlier and let's go now because I don't your brain to start swelling up now due to too much and excessive thinking little one!" he added.

Diane who was surprised by what her brother said, "Brain swelling? I have never heard that some ones brain immediately when they start thinking too much." Se retaliate against is words because she really has never heard about it.

"That's because you are still young little one, you see."

And he might just be saying this to just pull her leg.

"Whatever you want little one… so let's go see mother now." Elias said and told her.

"Yes let's go." She replied and they turned to make their way to Mrs. Watson.

When both Esmeralda and Linda left, Linda who is curious about what happened when both Esmeralda and Elias were together earlier said...
