The Billionaire 1&2 novel Chapter 9

RAFAEL is irritated and frustrated as he walks down the stairs. Who the heck would suddenly pay him a visit as he and Amber is on the middle of doing something? He left out a groan when he saw his friend, Lohan sitting comfortably on the couch.

“What the heck, Lohan?” He grunted. “What the hell are you doing here? Unannounced?”

“I’m here to see who is your wife.” Lohan grinned.

“The heck, man!” Rafael uttered in annoyance and throw the throw pillow at his friend.

“Ohh, did I disturb your honeymoon?” Lohan’s grin become wider. “It is still early though.” He teased.

“What do you want?” He grunted.

“Well, the gang prepared a party for you and your wife.” Lohan said.

“Amber can’t go, she’s resting.” He said.

“Too bad, she can’t come with us.” Lohan said making him frown. “You will be coming with me, whether you like it or not.” Lohan said and grabbed his arms. The next thing he knew, he’s already seated on Lohan’s car.

“Why did you even prepare a party?” He curiously asked.

“first, you got married and Joshua will be next.” Lohan said.

“Originally, it is supposed to be you who got married early.” He said making Lohan sighed.

“I know right, if only my bride didn’t run away.” He said. “Am I not the marrying type?” He left out a bitter laugh. “Me and Jon are the most behave among the group but why did she run away from me?”

Rafael couldn’t find a word to comfort his friend. Lohan is right, among them he is the only one who didn’t play around, his attention is only focused to his fiancée.

“I’m sorry for being dramatic.” Lohan said later on. “It was supposed to be yours and Joshua’s night.”

“It’s okay.” He said. “So, did you already talk to her?” He asked. They are aware that Lohan has been tracking down his runaway fiancée but he didn’t have the courage to talk to her.

“Yes.” Lohan answered. “But she didn’t tell me my she ran.” He sighed. “But at least I have her close to me so that’s enough.”

“You should’ve talk to her though. That would help resolving the misunderstanding between the two of you.” Rafael said making his friend laugh.

“And that’s really coming from you, eh?” Lohan said in between his laugh.

“It’s ironic, isn’t it?” Rafael sighed.

“Anyway, let’s just forget our troubles tonight and drink till we drop!” Lohan said as he speeds up the car. After a while they arrived at Lohan’s house, they went immediately to his backyard.

“Seriously, Barbeque?” Rafael asked in disbelief.

“That’s the plan, to throw a barbeque party for you and Amber, and Joshua and Danielle.” Phil said.

“Where’s Jon?” He asked.

“I don’t know, he’s not answering my calls.” Joshua said. “It seems that he and Samantha broke up.” He added with a sigh. “He made another woman pregnant.”

“What?” Gabriel said dropping the tongs, he is the one grilling the meat. “Jon? As in Jonathan who is loyal and faithful to Samantha?”

“Unfortunately, yes.” Joshua sighed. “From what I heard, Samantha is so broken. Jonathan really loves Samantha, that’s why he had a hard time choosing to break up with her.”

“But why does he need to break up with Samantha? He can just give child support.” Lohan asked.

“You all know that Jon is an adoptive son of his parents.” Joshua answered. “He doesn’t want his children to experience the hardships he experienced when he was still not adopted by his adoptive parents.” Joshua sighed.

They all knew the story of the hardships Jon had faced during his childhood. When they are still in college, Jon is always shy to hang around them because he thought that they only befriended him because of his surname—Levine, and he is just Joshua’s cousin. It took them months before Jon slowly open his self to them.
