The Billionaire 1&2 novel Chapter 29

“We are so sorry, dear.” Leo Fernandez apologized to Amber. Leo is Kaylee’s father. The moment she learned about the truth from Lohan, she cannot help not to feel guilty. She suspected the poor man for pete’s sake! The old man suddenly had a stroke and it leads him to a comatose stage.

Her Aunt Gina, Leo’s wife, tried to look for her with the help of Lohan’s family but they failed until they saw her working at Rafael’s restaurant. It was then that they asked Kaylee to look out for her, it was at that moment that she learned Kaylee’s identity.

“We really don’t know how to help you even if we already know where you are. That is why we asked Kaylee a favor.” Gina said. Kaylee is the only daughter of Gina and Leo, Amber never once meet her in the past because Kaylee is a shy girl and was only close to Lohan. “And another reason is we wanted to know who killed your parents. It is good that the mastermind behind the tragic death of your family is now behind bars.”

“I understand, Auntie.” Amber smiled. “The truth is, I am really indebted to you. I am not aware that you and Uncle Timothy and Auntie Odette were the ones who bought our properties.”

“We are friends with your parents for a long time and it is only natural to help you.” Leo answered.

“You can go and check it if you are worried.” Timothy said.

“I really can’t thank you enough.” Amber said, her eyes are started to moist. No words can explain what she is feeling right now. “If possible, all I want to get back is the resort. We have many memories there.”

“You can have all your properties, Amber.” Gina said making her puzzled.

“Rafael bought it all from us.” Odette smiled making her shocked. Rafael never mentioned a thing to her.

She is about to say something when the door opens and Kaylee enters the room.

“Amber…” Kaylee softly called her; she can feel the tension in the air.

“Kaylee!” Amber hugged her dear friend. “How are you? It’s been so long since we last saw each other.” She said. “I really miss you.” She added.

“I…I am fine.” Kaylee answered. “How about you? I heard what happened to you.”

“I’m all good.” She smiled and hugged her friend again. “You don’t have to feel sorry about the reason why you befriended me.” She added making Kaylee flinched. “I know that despite of the reason, you treated me as a friend and not just someone you need to look out because they told you so.”

“Oh, Amber!” Kaylee exclaimed and hug her back.

“How did it go?” Rafael asked when they are in his car.

“It went good. I really feel bad for suspecting Uncle Leo. It turns out that he is the one helping us.” Amber sighed. “As for Kaylee, there is no tension or awkwardness between us. She’s a dear friend.”

“That’s good then.” Rafael smiled as he drives.

“But you are not telling me something.” Amber said and pouts, she also noticed that Rafael flinched.

“About what?” He asked acting innocent.

“You didn’t tell me that you bought the properties from them.” She said.

“Oh that… It was supposed to tell you but I forgot.” Rafael answered.

“But you don’t need to do that.” Amber said.

“It is originally yours, so as a good husband, I need to return it all to you.” Rafael said making her sigh.

“But…”

“No, buts, hon.” Rafael cuts her off. “If you don’t want it, then we can just give it to our kids when they grow up.”

“Kids?” She asked.

“Yes. Kids.” Rafael said. “Being an only child is lonely, don’t you think? So, we should at least have two or three kids.” He added. Well, Rafael had a point.

“Fine.” Amber said in defeat. “By the way, where are we going?” She asked. “This is not the way to our house.”
