Billionaire’s Great Obsession

The moon was up and shining bright, and the stars were out watching.

Scott released Brianna from his embrace and looked at her into her eyes with affection and love. It was the first time Brianna saw Scott in tears. She held his gaze, hoping to be able to guess his thoughts.

“What happened to the mole here? Why did it disappear?” Scott stroked the corner of her left eye gently and asked.

Brianna knitted her brows, surprised by the question. “I…” she muttered. How did he know?! Does he think that I’m cursed? That I will bring him a bit of back luck? This is probably why he’s decided to leave me. She thought. But he seems so gentle and affectionate. It’s not like the usual him at all. Should I tell him the truth or just make an alibi?

Scott seemed to sense her worries and said gently, “Tell me, please.”

Brianna watched him for a while uncertainty, then said, “After my father died, I was told that it would bring bad luck to people close to me, so I had it removed.” She told the truth and waited nervously.

“You are the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I humiliated you several times, but you still have a big heart that forgave me,” Scott replied sincerely and pecked a kiss at the corner of her left eye. He then whispered to her ear, “I love you. I won’t let you leave me. You are mine,”

He told her about the memories she had lost; he told her how grateful he was that he had finally found her, that fate had brought her back to him and that he would never separate with her again ever.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Jacob got Chris’s contact from Brianna and decided to call him to meet up.

“This is Jacob.”

“What do you want, Jacob Morgan?” Chris asked indifferently.

“I’d like to meet up. There’s something I need to tell you.”

Chris hesitated.

“I believe we are related.” Jacob went on.

About half an hour later, they met at a café downtown. Jacob showed Chris the photo of his mother and the family and told him what he had discovered. He watched Chris’s reaction closely, uncertain of how he would feel.

Chris was quiet. Looking at the photos, he could vaguely remember his mother. There was a time when Chris hated his parents for abandoning him and his little sister, and it took him a long time to forgive and forget them and to accept that the only family he had was his little sister.

After a long while, he took his eyes off the photo and looked at Jacob. Jacob waited with a frown, then the frown was changed to a smile as he saw a smile light up Chris’s face.

Chris stood up, extended his arms, and they hugged. “Great to meet you, cousin.” He said.

Jacob was relieved and very pleased. When the fact that they were related as cousins had slowly and finally sunk in, they chatted cheerfully over coffee, and Jacob told him about the family.

“There’s another thing that I should tell you, Chris,” Jacob said, a bit more seriously, during the cheerful conversation.

“Yes?”

“I don’t know if you know, but you have a little sister.”

Chris was silent and looked thoughtful. Jacob thought he needed some time to let the news sink in. Then, to Jacob’s surprise, Chris answered, “I do. And I have found her.”

“That’s great then!” Jacob exclaimed happily, but then he noticed that Chris didn’t seem particularly excited. He looked hesitant instead. There’s something else he hasn’t told me. Jacob thought, and he waited.

Chris looked at Jacob for a while. “Sol is my little sister, your cousin.” He said.

Jacob stared at Chris with his eyes wide open. “Sol?! Sol Keaton?” He exclaimed.

“Right,” Chris said calmly and told Jacob how he had found Sol. After a long discussion, Jacob and Chris agreed that both Chris and Sol should meet the family, and they said goodbye feeling grateful, knowing that they were one family.

At the same time, Levi had reported to Scott about Sol and her real identity. Scott asked Sol to move out of The Place without further explanation and removed her from his life.

Three years later.

PlayHard, the game company that The Andersons and The Butlers collaborated on, became the biggest company in the game industry in the world. Scott, Chris, and Jacob were ranked the top three most successful young businessmen nationally. They were respected and looked up to for their success and friendship.

Sol had the stem cell transplantation operation, and she recovered well. She moved to Sweden to live a quiet life. During the first year, she had asked Chris quite often about Scott as she couldn’t forget him yet, but gradually, she accepted and let it go.

Home for Sol was renamed The Floral House, and Brianna’s mother, Sue, was the private gardener.

“Grandma, what’s this flower?” An angelic little girl pointed at the jasmine and asked curiously, her blond hair shone beautifully in the golden light of the setting sun.

Sue was watering the plants, and she answered gently, “It’s a jasmine, sweetheart, same as your name!”

“Jasmine!” The little girl exclaimed excitedly and ran into the house. “Mummy! Daddy! Come see jasmine!” she shouted with a happy grin.

Scott was watching Brianna cook in the kitchen with a glass of wine and a content smile. On hearing their daughter and seeing her running to them, he put the glass on the table, bent down, and extended his arms to pick Jasmine up and swirled her around. She giggled happily. Brianna put the tray of pie into the oven, then took off her gloves, came over, and kissed Jasmine on her rosy cheeks.

Scott carried Jasmine with one arm and wrapped his other arm around Brianna’s waist, and pecked a kiss on her head affectionately.

“Daddy, Mommy, I love you.”

Scott and Brianna smiled at each other, then at their beautiful daughter and said gently, “We love you too, sweetheart.”
