The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz novel Chapter 20

“Anyway, Tyron, now that you know the truth about my bad relation with my granddaughter, you cannot annul the marriage. It was written on the contract that once you annul the marriage all of your assets will be given to Bella and you cannot have any single penny on your name.” Don Samuel said making Isabella furious. “but I

“How could you?” Isabella shouts. “You are the worst man I’ve ever known! And I despise the fact that your blood is running through my veins! You are a devil!”

“Isabella, enough!” Tyron warns his wife. “No matter what, he is still your grandfather and you cannot change that fact.”

Isabella snickers at her husband’s words and coldly stares at him.

“What’s the sudden change, my dear husband?” She asks. “Last night, you were so angry upon learning the truth and now that the deceitful man mentioned about assets and annulment you suddenly change your attitude?”

“It’s—”

“Ha! Is money that really matters to you and this family?” Isabella shakes her head. “You are all slaves of money!” She added and storms out of the room. She heard Tyron calling her but she didn’t look back, she doesn’t need someone who values money.

As soon as she steps out of the room, her tears fall down. It may be true that money is the reason why she entangled herself in this situation—the reason why she married Tyron but she did cherish the time she spend with him.

She quickly dried her tears when she heard the door opens.

“You need to talk to your grandfather, Bella.” Tyron said in a calm tone but his face says otherwise. “Set aside your differences and pride.”

“Give me a reason why should I talk to that old man.” Isabella said firmly.

“Because he is your grandfather, your only family left.” Tyron answered, making her feel a sharp pain on her chest.

“Your only family… Then I guess, you didn’t consider yourself as my family.” She thought.

“I don’t think that I still need to talk to him after what I’ve learned.” Isabella said. “And let’s annul our marriage, you don’t need to worry about your assets taken away from you. I have no interest on them.” She added and was startled at Tyron’s angry face.

“Marrying you is one of my plans but annulment is out of the question, Bella.” Tyron said, clenching his jaw. “You are my wife and that will not change!”

“If it is about your assets, I already told you that I have no interest—”

“This is not about my assets, my company or my money!” Tyron cuts her off and grabs her arm. “The moment you signed that damn marriage contract you are already my property!”

“I am no one’s property!” Isabella said, gritting her teeth. “You may be my husband but that’s in name only! You can have my body but you will never have my heart!” She added but was taken aback when she saw Tyron’s eyes filled with pain and let go of her arm.

“Just go and talk to your grandfather.” He said in a low voice.

“Ty—”

“There are things that your grandfather wants to tell you alone, you should go back inside.” Tyron said.

“I—”

“Go inside and make up with your grandfather, Bella. Listen to him, set aside your pride before it’s too late.” Tyron said as he pats her head.

“W…why are you saying this?” She can’t help not to ask.

“Before my father passed away, we had a misunderstanding, he tried reaching out to me but because of my pride I lost him without patching things up.” Tyron said as he smiles bitterly. “And up until now, I am regretting that I put my pride first before my father. And I don’t want you to experience the same thing.”

“But I—”

“No matter what your grandfather did, he is still your blood relative. You don’t have to forgive him immediately nor you need to talk. Just go and listen to what he will tell you.” Tyron said.

“How about you?” She asks. “I mean, will you be here after I listen to him?” She added making Tyron taken aback but smiles later on.

“I will wait for you here.”
