THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 19

CHAPTER 19

"Why, what is the matter?" Daniella discovered Lilian having fun with Paloma's hairdresser. Jessie was homosexual, yet he preferred to dress up as a ninja for dinner.

"Marcus is here; why didn't you inform me of his invitation?" Lilian was challenged regarding the guest list.

She recalled everyone's name on the list for many days while it was with her, and she was certain Daniella's ex-husband was not invited. "Are you sure you believe him?" Perhaps the gentleman was brazen enough to crash her mother's birthday party!

"He informed me that he and his buddy, Mr Ortega, had been invited." Daniella was aware of Lilian's interest in Mr Ortega as a result of the man's dubious relationship with Paloma.

Lilian felt terrible for Daniella, and now that they were sisters, she would do whatever to assist her with the charade she began. "Don't worry; I'll come up with something, all right?" Daniella was reassured.

"I appreciate it, Lil. "I'm perplexed and terrified that they'll discover he's still alive," she explained.

"Relax, Ella. Everything will be OK," Lilian assured herself as she excused herself to speak with Jessie, who was also the event's planner.

Next the photo shoot, Jessie went on to say that everyone wearing the ninja costume would remain in it for the remainder of the event and that a new set of costumes will be issued the following morning.

When Daniella heard the announcement, she wanted to reprimand Lilian for wearing the ninja outfit. She was, nevertheless, thankful for Lilian's assistance, despite the fact that her comfort was jeopardized. She surveyed the crowd for Marcus, and when their gazes locked, she averted her gaze and feigned not to see him.

"Are you looking for me?" Marcus snuck away after catching her searching for him and found a way to be with her without startling anybody, including Ortega, who was getting intimate with one of Paloma's guests.

Daniella was taken aback when she heard him talk too loudly near her ears. "Of course not," she stated categorically in response to his assertion that she was seeking for him. "I just wanted to ensure that you wouldn't create any disruption on Paloma's birthday." As she stated.

"I will not. But I don't see why you're so upset by my presence, when we're not the first couple to break up, and this was simply a marriage for your convenience," he underlined the word "your" before convenience to convey to the woman that he was the victim, not her.

"Because they were completely unaware of the annulment!" She spoke the truth to him.

"I see. "Hmmm, so they won't complain if I spend the night in your room," he taunted her. Daniella was fearful that her deception would be discovered and he would exploit it.
