The Billionaire 1&2

Chapter 20

THE dining room is filled with joy and laughter as they have their lunch. Amber is slightly getting

comfortable to her husband’s friends. The guys talked about their college days, they are in all different

courses but they were classmates in one subject and since they are always late, they occupied the

seat at the back and that’s the start of a beautiful friendship.

“How about you, Amber?” Lohan asked. “You’re a graduate of pharmacy, right? You didn’t take the

boards?”

“I didn’t file.” She answered, how could she file when she lost everything? “Maybe after a year or two. I

don’t want stress and I am sure that Rafael will be against it.” She added as she glances at Rafa who

just nods in agreement.

“Danielle also graduated in the same course.” Joshua said. “Inf act, she just finished her boards and

she’s one of the topnotchers.”

“Yepp! And both of you celebrated and viola! You made her pregnant!” Phil teased and Joshua throw

him a table napkin. “What? That’s true, right?” Phil laughed.

“Whatever!” Joshua rolled his eyes.

“Don’t tease Josh too much, Phil.” Rafael said. “Even if that’s how they started, look now, Josh is doing

everything just for love.” He grinned.

“Coming from you, eh?” Gabriel said grinning at him.

“Well, people change when it comes to love.” Lohan said, and the rest agreed.

“By the way, Lohan, did you already found her?” Amber asked, referring to his fiancée.

“Yep, but I’ll introduce her next time.” Lohan answered brightly, and happiness is all over his face. She

didn’t got the chance to meet who the girl is because the night before their engagement party, the girl

run away leaving no trace behind. She still remembered how Lohan reacted, confusion mixed with

betrayal, hatred and anger.

“It is good that she didn’t run away when she saw you, though.” She said making him choke on his food

and the rest laughed.

“Oh! Believe me, she nearly did.” Lohan sighed. “Do I look like I’m a hideous monster that would rip her

to pieces?” Lohan uttered in disbelief making them laugh. “she should be grateful that even if a lot of

woman flocks around me, I paid no attention to them because I considered myself tied to her.”

“Whoever she is, she’s lucky to be love by you.” Amber commented.

“Love, eh?” Lohan murmured and sighed.

“Amber, are you really the one who cooked this?” Phil said asked for nth time as he took another bite of

the butter shrimp with honey. She also cooked buttered chicken and made jello salad for dessert.

“Ye—”

“Yes! Amber cooked all of this!” Rafael said annoyance. “You’ve already asked that for nth time!” He

added but Phil acted as if he didn’t hear him.

“My standards in a woman is getting higher.” Phil said making Rafa sighed.

“You and your high standards!” Lohan said. “That is why you even if you mom arranged you many

dates if you’re like that…” he sighed.

“Well, it is not my fault, I found faults on them, one is their attitude.” Phil said. “Being good in bed may

count but I can’t stand their attitude.” He added making Amber frown, and he noticed it. “I am not

saying that I bed all of those women… And why the heck I am explaining this?” Phil asked in

annoyance.

“You’re the one who started it.” Gabriel said.

“Damn!” Phil cursed.

“What are you looking for a girl, then?” Amber asked.

“Brains and beauty!” Lohan answered while grinning.

“And not to mention, sexy!” Joshua said.

“Not a gold digger.” Rafael added. She knows that they are joking but a sharp pain pierce through her

heart.

“And more importantly no attitude problem.” Gabriel added.

“Are you guys, Phil?” Phil asked his friends in annoyance. “Amber is asking me and you guys

answered. Seriously?” He added making the guys laugh, and looks at her. “I don’t care about the first

three, all I want for a girl is that she knows how to respect others to cater my needs.”

“There is a girl I know who will fit your description and not to mention she’s a beauty and brains.” She

said, making the guys perk up their interest.

“Who?” Phil asked in excitement.

“Kaylee Legaspi, a friend of mine who is working at MJ restaurant. I’m sure you already meet her.” She

answered.

Their attention turns to Lohan when he suddenly dropped his spoon.

“Oh, don’t mind me.” Lohan said.

“Of course, I know her.” Phil answered with a mysterious smile on his face. “I would like to know her

more.” He added and Lohan cursed again. This time his water spilled. “She’s a beauty!” Lohan added

with a wide grin on his face.

“Are you okay, Lohan?” Amber heard Rafael asked Lohan. When she looked at Lohan, his face is dim

and is glaring at Phil who is just grinning at him.

“But it seems that someone is going to murder me if I will lay my hands on your friend.” Phil

meaningfully said to her making her confuse.

“But Kaylee is single, though.” She said.

“Who knows.” Phil shrugged and continued eating with gusto. Rafa, Gab and Josh just sighed and

shook their head at Phil.

AMBER and Rafael are enjoying their selves in the butterfly garden, they headed there when Joshua

and the others went home. Joshua and Gabriel even apologized about their rude behaviour when they

sent Rafael home when he’s drunk.

“Hon, do you know who is Lohan’s fiancée?” Amber suddenly asked.

“Why do you ask? Are you interested on him?” Rafael frowned and jealousness is screaming on his

eyes and tone.

“Are you jealous?” She teased. “You don’t have to be jealous, hon. I’m only asking because Lohan is a

friend of mine and he’s like an older brother. He is part of my childhood.” She added and loosely

wrapped her arms around his neck.

“I am not jealous.” Rafael said averting his eyes, making her laugh.

“You can’t hide anything from me, Rafa.” She said. “Your face tells it all.” She added, Rafael didn’t

answer; he wrapped his hands on her waist pulling her closer and captured her lips.

Amber didn’t expect the kiss but she wholeheartedly responded with the same intensity. “You are mine,

Amber.” Rafael said when their lips separated. Possessiveness is evident on his eyes yet, she sees it

as a sweet gesture, for her it only means that she’s slowly entering his heart, and she’s happy with it.

“And I don’t share what is mine.” He added.

“And I don’t share what is mine, either.” Amber said before he captured her lips again for another

passionate kiss.

“This place is beautiful.” Amber said in amusement as they roam around the butterfly garden. “You are

like in a paradise.” She added as she admires the butterflies flying around.

“If I’m not mistaken, there are fifty different species of butterfly here. I don’t know if they added another

species.” Rafael said.

“Your mom is so amazing, she really worked hard to get where she is now.” Amber said. “Aww! So

beautiful.” She exclaimed in amazement when a bluish white butterfly landed on a tulip in front of them.

“Yes… It’s beautiful.” Rafael said looking at Amber, he has always admired his wife’s beauty even NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

before. When the butterfly flew, Amber looked at Rafa and caught him staring at her.

“Is there a dirt on my face?” Amber asked.

“You are beautiful, Amber.” Rafael said as he stares straight in her eyes. “You are like a goddess in a

magical kingdom.” He smiled making Amber’s cheeks reddened. “And I love it every time you blush

due to my compliment and mine alone.” Rafael added and kiss her.

“Ever since this morning, you’ve been kissing and kissing me.” Amber said and slightly hit her

husband’s arm making him laugh.

“I will miss you that is why I am enjoying our time together.” Rafael said making her frown. Will he leave

her behind? “And I don’t know when will I come back.”

“Why? Where will you go?” she asked.

“A friend needs a help.” Rafael answered.

“You’re leaving me?” Amber asked, she doesn’t know how to explain what she feels.

“For a mean time, hon.” Rafael said cupping her face and dried her tears away, she’s not even aware

that a tear escaped her eyes. “While I’m away, mom and dad will keep you company and also you will

not be bored because mom’s adventurous dogs, Copper and Draco will also be there for you.”

“But they will also leave me, you said it yourself that they are adventurous.” She sulks.

“I will be back. I promise.” Rafael said as he kiss the top of her nose.

“What if you will meet another girl there and you will fall for her?” She is still sulking.

“That would never happen, Amber, because in my eyes, there’s only you and you alone.” He said and

give her another kiss on the lips. “There is something I will tell you when I come back.”

“You can’t say it now?” She asked as she wrapped her hands in Rafael’s waist.

“No, it’s a surprise, hon.” Rafael said

“Fine, but make sure that I would love that.” She said and leans her head on his chest. While Rafael

hugs her. “Make sure that I would cry because of joyfulness.” She added making him laugh.

“Yes, I assure you that you will and you will scream in delight.” Rafael said and kissed the top of her

head.
