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?

FINALLY IT'S ALL OVER

She needs to talk heart to heart with Elias so she can let out all the frustration inside of her, "Let me go!"

Elias's hands that Esmeralda was in earlier fell flat from her hold. What did she just say? Let me go? How can he do such a thing? Her request can he grant it.

"Esmeralda…"

she signaled for him to keep quiet, "Am not done talking yet Elias."

"If you truly love me then you will do as I want… let me go Elias and whatever happened has already taken place, we can't change anything regarding that at all. I do love you Elias but I can't see myself forgiving you any time soon, but I promise in the near future I will definitely try to forgive you but right now, I can't the pain is too much for me to handle but I know I will get over it. I have my family with me and they all will support me throughout, which I know for sure."Esmeralda pours her heart out to Elias and tells him the truth.

Elias took Esmeralda's words and decision as his punishment, he made a mistake and he must be responsible for his actions. Right now whatever his father will do doesn't matter at all what matters to him now is proving to Esmeralda he truly loves her and is willing to wait for her to forgive him no matter how long it will take.

Esmeralda smiled at Elias, he kept silent and listen to her until she was done talking, he made a mistake and is willing to take responsibility for his actions, him being silent despite her done saying what she wanted to say it all," Don't worry I will try… and maybe in the near future we can be friends again like before.

"Am willing to wait until you forgive me no matter how long it will take."Esmeralda suddenly heard quiet Elias mumble.

"I know I hurt you and am willing to take any decision you make regarding us… but Esmeralda, am also willing to wait until you forgive me. It doesn't matter how long I have to." Elias made sure to let Esmeralda knows.

"Elias don't wait for me, because my heart can never be used again not just you and me…I will never allow myself to believe in any man again. Not ever!" Esmeralda to tell Elias the hash truth.

Elias as earlier didn't utter a single word, he allowed Esmeralda to say all she wanted to. He was a jerk and because of that he lost an incredible woman and this will forever haunt him.

******

"Sis you are finally back" Linda hurried after Esmeralda "He didn't try anything right?" she asked Esmeralda while glaring at Elias.

"Hey, don't worry because am fine….come one don't look at Elias like that, he didn't do anything to me at all, we just talked okay!"Esmeralda explained to Linda who never stopped throwing draggers at Elias.

Linda made sure Elias saw all the hate and disdain she has for him after hurting her sister so much. He was never her best person even before the marriage alliance between him and her sister. And now she finally knows why, it's all because he was going to hurt her sister today.

"Come on let's go and check on Aunt Vanessa," Esmeralda dragged Linda with her so Elias can breathe a little because Linda's presence wasn't allowing him to at all. Although he deserved whatever he is getting right now, she just wants to get this Elias chapter over and done with once and for all so she can start her life over again.

They both sit beside Vanessa when they reached her bedroom," Aunt Vanessa how are you feeling now?" Linda asked her aunt who is trying hard to smile at both of them.

"Dear, am feeling a little better now….but do you know what I want now?" Vanessa hardly mumbles.

"What do you need aunt? Tell us so we can go get it for you," Esmeralda said to Vanessa.

"All I want right now is to get out of this bed and go smack that jerk Watson boy…how can he do that to you? How I dare he hurt you, my dear? Hmm, tell me? How could he?"Vanessa said to Esmeralda whose hand she is holding. That Watson boy is a jerk and a fool at the same time, how can he hurt someone who he is supposed to love and cherish with all of his heart?

Linda sighed, only she and her aunt think alike, Elias deserves someone to put him in his place and she is for sure going to be that person. He better doesn't think there will be peace in his life after what he just did. That jerk was an animal; he doesn't deserve anything good at all.

Esmeralda sighed deeply, all her aunt and sister are after now is Elias's blood. What can she do? Nobody asked him to be a jerk and cheat on her!

"….Aunt look, Elias was a jerk but don't worry because am never going to forgive him, right now okay?" she informed the two women so they calm down, especially her aunt who is sick right now.

Esmeralda saw her aunt relaxed after what she said, she is glad Vanessa is finally relaxing on the matter. But there is another problem she still has to take care of, Linda, she has to make sure Linda doesn't cause any harm to Elias. "That's good dear because that Elias doesn't deserve your forgiveness at all… due to his illicit action, he lost the best wife he could have ever married.'' Esmeralda heard her aunt say.

"Yes Sis, aunt is right, Elias's actions have cost him to lose the best woman in the world," Linda added. Esmeralda smiled they both are saying all just to make her feel better.

Esmeralda decides to tease her aunt and sister, "So that means am the only best woman in this house?"

Linda glared at her sister who is busy wagging her eyebrows at them, "Hey, Miss, don't get too ahead of yourself? Yea, you are great… but am the best okay?"

"Hahaha," Esmeralda laughed out, Linda smiled, her sister is finally laughing after what happened. But their laughter was short lasted one…
