THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 34

CHAPTER 34

Lilian and Alexander did not appear at supper, and Daniella became concerned. Paloma was overjoyed when she joined them. Later, she would inquire of her stepmother about Lilian and Alexander's current circumstances. When they were so in love, it was difficult to believe they were siblings.

"Ma, I didn't officially introduce you to my future father in law," Daniella said after they had completed their supper and were left with only mango floats for dessert.

"Yes, Marcus, you bring him here. Paloma said, "Invite your father over."

Marcus and Daniella exchanged puzzled looks because they felt Paloma was already aware of Philip's existence when she invited him to join her meeting with Lilian and Alexander.

Philip, on the other hand, was perplexed. Didn't he already introduce himself to the woman? Her blood pressure really increased following the introduction. He cleared his throat and announced his presence as they debated him, but Edwin arrived before he could say anything to Paloma, and Paloma invited the guy to join them for desserts.

"Gerald and his girlfriends came to visit with me," Edwin explained.

"Is Gerald dating anyone?" Daniella delighted as she learned that her buddy had finally made himself accessible on the market.

Marcus grimaced at Daniella for being overjoyed that the guy had come to visit, despite the fact that he was accompanied by a girlfriend. "However, where have they gone?" He enquired.

"They were simply playing with Sky in the living room," Edwin said.

"Thank you, Tito; we're going there right now."

He went behind Daniella as they made their way to the living room, where Gerald was waiting. "You appear ecstatic that he's here," Marcus observed.

"Certainly. It is not every day that he pays me a visit," she responded.

His nostrils rose as he verified Daniella's delight at Gerald's arrival and glowered at her, but his scowls melted away as he came face to face with the woman Gerald had brought in. "Alicia?" How did she learn he was in Oslob?

Alica smiled warmly at Marcus and walked up to him to properly welcome him with a kiss! Following the kiss, she smiled triumphantly.

Daniella's eyes widened in surprise upon witnessing such event in front of her! She looked around to check if she was only imagining things, but the people around them had the same reaction as hers. When Marcus freed himself from the other woman's clutches, she glared at him.

No questions asked. She turned around and walked away.

Marcus followed and he kept on explaining, but she was not an idiot! Daniella was skeptical when Marcus informed him that he was not dating Alicia. No lady in her right mind would kiss someone she met for the first time, and she was far from blind! She noticed as Alicia clutched Marcus to her chest as though she was in desperate need of her! "Do you believe I'm a fool?" She yelled and scratched the man's face!

"Dani, put an end to this!" Marcus attempted to evade Daniella's strikes, but Daniella transformed herself into an amazon warrior.

"So, tell me who she is?" How did you become acquainted with her? Did you maintain contact with her in order for her to be aware of your whereabouts?" Her mind was still racing with questions, and she desired to ask him everything! She was so enraged that she felt as if her heart would explode or she would burst into tears at any minute! However, before she allowed her tears to flow, she would obtain all of the information she could from Marcus.

"All well, but may we discuss it privately?" He suggested to Daniella that they go inside their room for further privacy. Quarreling in the living room would just provide fodder for staff rumor, and Ortega's men may be watching right now!

"Follow me," she murmured as she took a step forward.

Daniella smacked Marcus and even kicked his knees as soon as they entered the seclusion of their chamber. She vowed she would refrain from kicking his crotch, but the temptation to kick him remained, and she instead targeted his knees. "Tell me now," she pleaded.

"She also worked on the farm with which I was assisting. "We were simply coworkers," he stated.

"Coworkers do not kiss, Marcus." She brought up a point that the man had almost certainly overlooked in his attempt to rescue himself.

"I was oblivious to her kiss earlier!" He reasoned, but Daniella's angry eyes remained fixed on him, as if he were a criminal under investigation.

"However, she kissed you? You have failed to adequately explain it to me!" Daniella was becoming irritated as she snapped at Marcus.

"I'm not sure! I truly have no idea, Dani. I've already made it obvious to her that our relationship is finished and that she should refrain from showing herself to me again." Daniella was enraged when he blurted out the partial truth regarding Alicia. She was much angrier!

"So you're admitting that she was your ex-girlfriend?" She enquired.

"She was not, she was not. We did not have a connection in the manner in which I described it previously," he responded.
