Billionaire’s Lost Angel

Steven Kent sat in his chair, his brow furrowed. Everything around him bothered him. He had no idea George would send divorce papers to Lilly. He agrees that she deserved punishment, but divorce was a relatively worse one. Miranda walked into the study and slammed the door shut.

“Why are you making such a racket, Miranda?” Steven remarked, irritated by her behavior.

“What makes you think I’m doing this? Your daughter has been crying since the morning, and she has fainted twice, but you are sitting calmly here? “Miranda inquired, yelling at Steven.

“What exactly do you want me to do? The decision to divorce Lilly is entirely his. I don’t have the authority to intervene in his decision. Furthermore, your daughter had done even more heinous things to Lotus.” Steven stated.

“So you’re keeping quiet because you believe Lilly deserved it for causing Lotus pain? If Lotus had known everything since before Lilly’s wedding, why didn’t she tell you or George sooner? Why did she have to wait four f**king years? Why aren’t you seeing that she’s come to take revenge on us?” Miranda screamed.

“Miranda, don’t yell at me. You knew everything from the start, but you didn’t even try to stop your daughter. You didn’t even intervene when I kicked Lotus out of our home. because she was your stepdaughter. Now you came to me to blame Lotus because everything is going against your own daughter?” Steven retorted angrily.

Miranda grew quiet. Then she began crying and pleading with Steven.

“Steven, please have mercy on Lilly, who is also your daughter. I know she made some mistakes in the past, but that was a long time ago. What would happen if George divorced her? Who will remarry her? How will you present yourself in public?” Miranda questioned, her eyes welling up.

Steven’s heart melted when he saw her in this condition. He hugged her and caressed her head.

“Don’t worry, I’ll see what I can do to influence George’s decision,” he told Miranda. Miranda smiled quietly to herself. She was very good at melting Steven. She wishes her daughter was aware of it as well.

“It would be ideal if you could first speak with Lotus. If Lotus tells George that she has forgiven Lilly, George may reconsider his decision.” Miranda pleaded with Steven.

Steven gave a nod of approval. It was a brilliant idea. Lotus was always respectful to him. Steven called his office to get Lotus’s phone number. He paused for a moment after receiving Lotus’s new phone number before dialing her number.

“Lotus Kent speaking. Who is this? “Lotus said on the other end of the phone call.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s me, Lotus, your father,” Steven said.

“What can I do for you, Mr. Kent? Though I do not discuss work after office hours, I am listening to you because of our old relationship.” Lotus expressed herself professionally.

“Lotus please put the past behind you. Can’t you forgive me because I’m your father?” Steven wondered out loud. The hurt in his voice was palpable.

“I was your daughter when you threw me out. Why couldn’t you forgive me or listen to me for a change? “Lotus’ voice was as cold as ice.

“Lotus I know I was wrong about you, and I’d like to apologize for everything “Steven stated.

“I’m not interested in your apologies. Tell me why you called Mr. Kent.” Lotus inquired sternly.

“I and your mother would like to invite you to our home tomorrow. Please do not refuse “asked Steven

“Your wife isn’t my mother. and Kent Mansion is not my home.” Lotus took a brief pause after saying this. Then went on… “However, since we are working together, I will consider your invitation.”

“Thank you Lotus, we’ll be waiting for you,” Steven said cheerfully.

Lotus then hung up without saying anything else. Miranda was listening in on their conversation and smiled when she heard Lotus’ response.

At Lotus’s resident…

“Who called you mommy?” James inquired. Lotus was sitting on his bed when the phone rang. Lotus took his temperature once more. His fever has subsided. She let out a sigh of relief. “Your grandfather called me,” he replied.

“Do we have a grandfather?” exclaimed James joyfully.

“You do have a grandfather, my sugar,” Lotus replied.

“Who is Grandfather, mommy?” Jenny inquired innocently. On her bed, she was playing with her teddy bear.

Lotus explained to Jenny, “Grandfather means he is mommy’s father.”

“Wow, mommy, you have a father?” Jenny exclaimed in awe. She completely forgot about her game and went to sit next to Lotus to learn more about her grandfather.

“Everyone has a father,” Monica said as she closed the door. She brought two glasses of milk for the kids.

“So, where has our father gone? Do we, like my friends, have a father? “Jenny was perplexed. Monica and Lotus are deafeningly quiet. They had no idea this conversation would turn out this way.

“Of course, you have a father as well. But he lives in a different country “Monica explained to her not to depress the children.

“When will our father return?” James inquired this time.

“Enough of your babbling; it’s time to go to bed. Go to bed after you’ve finished your milk “Lotus stated. The children followed their mother’s instructions. Both of the children were soon dozing off. Lotus kissed both of them and exited the room with Monica.

“Sorry, Lotus, I didn’t think they’d ask about their father,” Monica apologized softly. She was well-versed about her history.

“But think about it, Lotus. They need a father figure. I believe you should marry someone who adores you and your children “Monica expressed concern because she cares about Lotus as her own daughter.

“Monica You should go back to sleep because it’s late. I’m going to take a walk in the garden before going to bed “Lotus replied and walked away.

Lotus was strolling through the garden when she heard water splashing. She went in search of the source of the noise. She eventually realized it was coming from Peter’s villa. She looked around his garden and noticed someone swimming in the pool. After a minute of observation, she was certain that person was Peter. She reflected on his note this morning and realized she hadn’t apologized for canceling their plans for the day. As a result, she decided to go to him. Lotus walked to the swimming pool through the small wooden door that connects the two gardens.

Lotus was standing near the pool, waiting for Peter to finish swimming. When Peter’s head emerged from the water, he turned to face Lotus. When Peter noticed Lotus standing there, he swam quickly to the stairs and exited the pool. Lotus gaped at his dripping masculine body. Water was dripping from every pore on his body. Lotus felt butterflies all over her stomach as she gazed at his perfect abs and v line. Peter approached her, taking a bathrobe from a nearby chair.

“Like what you saw?” Peter asked, causing Lotus to realize she was staring at his body. She lowered her head in shyness. Her ear turned red with embarrassment.

Peter’s P. O. V

I was in a state of disarray after hearing everything the private detective had to say. I couldn’t concentrate on my work and had to leave the office. I drove around the city for nearly two hours, but my mind couldn’t process everything. So I went back home and decided to go swimming in the cold water. She appeared in front of me out of nowhere as I was swimming hard to forget all my doubts. It took me a minute to realize she wasn’t a dream but a reality. I stepped out of the pool. I took a robe from the chair and walked over to her, putting it on. Her gaze was fixed on my body, which made me smile. At the very least, I have an effect on her.

“Did you like what you saw?” When I asked to see her reaction, she flushed with embarrassment. I’d never seen such a shy girl before. It took her a full minute to return to normalcy.

“Hello, I saw you swimming and came in through the adjacent door. I apologize for not inquiring before entering your property “She told me she was looking everywhere but at me.

“Actually, these two properties are twins, which is why they have an adjoining door. and you don’t need permission to visit my property “I stated.

“I came to apologize for this morning. I couldn’t offer you coffee because I was too worried about my son” I’m sorry,” she said apologetically.

“It’s all right. I understand your situation. What is your son’s current condition?” I inquired.

“He’s doing well now.” “Many thanks to Nat and Dr. Naila,” Lotus stated as she tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

“It appears that Natasha is a very good friend to you.” I inquired of her.

“She’s not just a good friend; she’s my only friend.” “She is also my children’s godmother,” she explained.

“Yes, I see. “But I’ve never seen you with her before.”

“Oh, you’re her cousin,” she says. “I had forgotten about it. I wasn’t here for the last four years, which could explain why you didn’t see me with her.”

“Perhaps. “You know, if you want, I can also be your next-door close friend,” I said as I tucked a hair behind her ear. She was dressed casually in a loose t-shirt and denim shorts. I couldn’t take my gaze away from her flawless face. Her pink lips drew me in so much. I leaned in towards her, expecting her to move back, but she didn’t. So I kissed her on the lips. Her lips were so soft that I couldn’t put them into words. I sucked her lower lips, making me want more. I kissed her passionately with my hands on her neck. She responded to me at the same time. Her lips suddenly stopped moving and she drew back. I noticed her hesitancy.

“I’m sorry, Lotus; I didn’t mean to offend you.” I tried to explain to her, but she shook her head to silence me.

“It isn’t just your fault. I’m also to blame.” She said while moving towards the gate.

“We can go see the location tomorrow morning,” she said as she closed the wooden door and quickly exited. I remained motionless, cursing myself for my actions.

‘I’ve been waiting for her for four f**king years.’ Why couldn’t I just wait a little bit longer? I ruined everything before it could even begin,’ I thought to myself. But then I realized what was going on. She also responded to the kiss, which means she has something for me as well. This one hope calmed my heart. I went into my room, changed into my pajamas, and lay on my bed thinking about her soft lips. I couldn’t recall when I had fallen asleep.

Lotus P. O. v

I awoke early the next morning. I couldn’t sleep the entire night. I could feel his lips and fresh breath on me whenever I closed my eyes. I’m not sure what happened to me back at his poolside that caused me to kiss him back. But it felt so right, so good.

“Lotus, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no You’re losing your mind. You can’t fall in love with someone you’ve just met. You have a lot on your plate.” While working in the kitchen, I chastised myself.

“Monica and Natasha are entirely to blame. They implanted this false notion in my mind “I said aloud.

“What is my and Natasha’s fault?” Monica inquired out of the blue.

Her sudden appearance startled me. I placed my hand on my heart, which was racing as a result of the sudden rush.

“You scared me, Monica,” I told her.

“I came to the kitchen as I always do, but you were lost somewhere else, and it’s not my fault, girl,” she explained. This made me think of Peter once more.

“You don’t appear normal. Did something happen that I’m not aware of? “She inquired as she examined my face.

“What could happen? I think you are daydreaming. I prepared pancakes for James. I’m going to see how he’s doing. Please instruct the maid to prepare breakfast “I said to her, stuttering a lot, then ran out of the kitchen and up to the second floor.
