The Billionaire 1&2 novel Chapter 5

AMBER is in the kitchen drinking water when she heard voices inside the house. She is afraid but she mastered her courage to move out from the kitchen and went to the living room, where the noises came from. Even if Nana Mildred said that the village is safe, she still can’t calm down.

Nana Mildred is the head of the housemaid of the Anderson family, she’s the one who took care of Rafael when he is a still a kid. She meet her earlier this evening when she woke up from her sleep. According to her, the other maids were on a day-off that is why there is no one who welcomed them when they arrived that afternoon.

“Who’s there?” She bravely shouted, but no one is in the living room.

“Who are you?” A baritone voice asked from the stairs. She was stunned to see who it was. “S-sir Gabriel…” He is one of the owners of the bar she used to work at, and he’s the one who hired her.

“Hey, Gab! A little help here.” She heard another baritone voice upstairs and was again stunned to see Joshua, another owner of the bar, struggling to support Rafael.

“What happened to him?” She asked Gabriel, referring to Rafael.

“He’s just drunk.” Gabriel answered and went up the stairs to help Joshua. She followed them until they lay Rafael unto his bed.

“You dimwit!” Gabriel cursed at Rafael. “I should be the one being drunk today not you!” He sighed.

“You should be grateful to us, Rafa, we can just leave you all alone there!” Joshua said. “Oh, look who’s here.” Joshua said when he looked at her. “It’s nice to see you again, Miss Santiago or should I say soon-to-be Mrs. Anderson.” He said while smiling but that smile didn’t reach his eyes. “I don’t know what you are scheming but don’t think of doing something bad to Rafael’s child. Take good care of the baby inside of you.” Joshua threatened.

“Judge Marquez will tomorrow afternoon so that Rafael can rest.” Gabriel said. “You should also take a rest. We will be the ones to lock the door and gate.” He said and they left them.

Amber approach Rafael to remove his shoes, then she went to the kitchen. She comes back with a towel and warm water. She slowly unbuttons Rafael’s polo but he’s resisting her.

“S-stop! I’m getting married tomorrow!” He said and shoving her away. Amber was shocked by his action but she patiently continued unbuttoning his polo even though he’s shoving her many times.

She sighed in relief when she finished wiping him and put his clothes on him. Rafael’s been saying her name countless of times making her heart beats fast. She sighed for the nth time, she glances at Rafa, who is sleeping soundly.

Amber is in a deep slumber but was awakened by her phone ringing. She doesn’t want to answer it but the caller is Kaylee.

“Hey, how are you?” Kaylee asked from the other line.
