Billionaire’s Lost Angel

“What do you mean by you like someone else?” Nina asked Peter unable to hide her anger.

“Dad, do you want me to settle down and start a family? I am ready to start a family, but only with someone I love. You realise the importance of love. I got engaged to Rebecca because of you, not because of love. So, if you want me to be happy, stop forcing me.” Peter said holding his father’s hand. He knows very well how emotional his father is. So he used this as a shield.

“Okay, son, I’m not going to push you any further. You are free to marry whomever you want, but only within three months.” Mr. Robinson replied.

“Thank you, Dad; I genuinely love you.” Peter said while hugging his father.

Nina just sat there frowning. She had no idea things would turn out this way. Nina’s fists were clenched the entire time. Peter and his father ate lunch together, as did Emily. He said his goodbyes to his father and left for his office after lunch. Peter texted Lotus while driving back to his office.

“How’s your family drama heading along?”

Peter paused for a moment before pressing the send button. Not long after that, his phone rang with a message.

“It didn’t go as planned. But I’m fine with it. How about you?” Lotus responded to his text.

“It went well for me.” Peter responded. Lotus, on the other hand, did not respond.

‘Seems like she’s busy,’ Peter muttered under his breath.

Lotus left Kent House and went to Natasha’s clinic. Nat was in the midst of delivering a pregnant woman when she arrived. Lotus sat in her office, drowsily waiting for Nat. Nat returned from the labor room after an hour.

“I apologize for keeping you waiting. That woman’s health was in jeopardy.” Natasha said as she was removing her apron.

“Don’t be concerned. I needed some alone time to clear my mind as well.” Lotus said lazily.

“Let’s go out for lunch. Then I’ll learn about your issues.” Natasha then drew Lotus out of the clinic with her.

They dined at a restaurant directly across the street from the hospital. They sat at a table and then ordered food.

“Now tell me in detail what happened at your father’s house that caused you to be stressed.” Natasha asked Lotus with a serious expression.

“My father requested me there to help Lilly in her pursuit of George. George wants to divorce her, claiming that she is to blame for ruining his life.” Lotus blurted out while chewing her food.

“That should not be a problem for you. What’s the matter with you?” Natasha asked her.

“I’m not bothered by Lilly. Despite everything she had done, my father still forgave her. Then how come he couldn’t accept me?” Lotus explained avoiding the lump forming inside her throat.

“Don’t weep for them, Lo. You are well aware that your stepmother played a role in your father’s decision.” Natasha tried to console her friend.

“I found out something else about that night.” Lotus said like a whisper.

“What is it?” Natasha urged her to say everything in details.

Lotus then told Natasha everything she had heard from Lilly earlier. Natasha exhaled deeply after hearing everything. Her expression was difficult to read.

“Nat, Please say something. You’re giving me the creeps.” Lotus said to Natasha.

“I was thinking that you were lucky to have gotten away from that jerk Lilly had chosen for you. Perhaps the man you slept with was not as bad as you had assumed all these years.” Natasha expressed her thought.

“Regardless, Nat. If he was a good person, as you claim, why did he sleep with me? I was obviously drunk and wearing a f***king wedding gown. Everyone was aware that a wedding reception was taking place in the hall. So he could have asked about me and returned me to my husband.” Lotus said trying to suppress her anger.

“Which husband are you referring to?” That f**king jerk didn’t deserve you. Consider this: if nothing had happened, you would still be married to that cheater. Would you be happy knowing he slept with your sister and who knows how many other girls? Aside from that, you have two of the cutest children anyone could ever imagine. Consider your life with that jerk and without your children for a moment.” Nat asked with serious expression.

“I couldn’t imagine my life without my children. They are my entire world.” Lotus said.

“That’s why I’m telling you that everything happened for a reason. When I look at your James, it is clear that his father is a handsome man. I hope you can find him and live as a happy family someday.” Natasha acts as she was praying to god.

“Nat, don’t say anything like that. I don’t want to share my children with anyone.” Lotus patted Natasha while frowning.

“However, they require a father.” Natasha tried to reason her statement.

“You are correct. They had questioned about their father the day before.” Lotus said with a sad face.

“What did you tell them?” Natasha asked to Lotus.

“I didn’t say anything because I was taken aback. Monica informed them that their father resides in another country.”

“Monica is a wise lady.” Natasha said while sipping her orange juice.

“I completely agree with you. However, as James and Jenny grow older, they will want to learn more about their father. I’m not sure what to say to them.” Lotus heaved long sigh.

“This is why I’m saying Find a man who will adore you and your children. Stop erecting barriers around yourself. Take someone out on a date. You are welcome to date my attractive cousin.” Natasha said to her with a mischievous wink.

Lotus remembered the incident from the night before when she heard Peter’s name. She flushed red as she remembered their kiss.

“Why are you blushing in the name of Peter? Did something happen between you that I’m not aware of?” asked Natasha seeing the flushed face of Lotus.

“There was no interaction between us. Nat, put down your dreams.” Lotus said.

“No, no, now i am sure you are definitely hiding something from me.” Natasha asked with force smile.

“All right, so we kissed last night. Nothing but a single kiss.” Lotus said at last defeated by Natasha’s curious habit.

Something is going on between you two, I knew it.” Natasha said with certainty.

“There isn’t anything going on between us. It was just a blunder made during a period of weakness.” Lotus explained everything.

“That’s fine if you say so. However, because of the name Peter, I remembered that Peter owns the hotel where your wedding reception was held four years ago. You can request his help and support in reviewing the CCTV camera footage. Maybe you’ll find out who is the father of the kids.” Natasha said while thinking something.

“Not at all, Natasha. I don’t want to be the laughingstock of the town again, so I’m going to let it go.” Lotus said.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“As you wish. Have you found a good school for the kids?” asked Natasha.

“I asked Stanley to find one for me. He’ll let me know in the evening.” Lotus replied shortly.

“That is fantastic. Also, remember what I said about dating.” Natasha Joked.

“You’re not going to leave until I marry some random guy, are you?” Lotus was pissed with her continuous pursuing about dating.

“Not just any random guy, but I believe my cousin is the perfect match for you. If he is interested in you.” Natasha said to piss Lotus more. Lotus heaved a sigh she knows her friend won’t stop.

“Let’s get going, we’re running late.” Lotus said.

Lotus and Natasha left the restaurant after paying their bill. Lotus dropped Natasha off at her clinic before heading home.

At a high end French restaurant Nina was sitting with Rebecca. They were planning about Rebecca’s marriage with Peter.

“Rebecca, are you really my niece? You spent four years with Peter and still couldn’t win his heart? For God’s sake, he was your f**king fiancé.” Nina whispered yelled at Rebecca.

“I gave it my all, aunt. His heart, however, is made of ice. He never even looked at me.” Rebecca replied back to her aunt.

“So how can another woman melt this ice? Who is the woman Peter mentioned earlier?” Nina was losing her mind with her dumb niece.

“I’m not sure. He’s never dated a woman, not even for a one-night stand.” Rebecca replied after thinking for a long.

“You could have at least persuaded him to sleep with you, girl. It would be much easier if you were pregnant with his child.” Nina wished aloud.

“I don’t want to be pregnant at such a young age and have my figure ruined.” Rebecca said while frowning.

Nina exhaled a deep breath looking at her dumb ass niece. She then took her phone out and dialed a number.

“I want to know everything about Peter’s current life. Especially if he met with any woman or dating someone. I want every report by tomorrow morning.” After ordering that person Nina ended the call. Suddenly Rebecca remembered something and her eyes lit up.

“Aunt I remember about one girl.” Rebecca said.

“Thank God that you remembered something in your tiny brain.” Nina said grinding her teeth. Rebecca frowned hearing her aunt. Then continued saying…

“I saw him with a woman the other day in a restaurant. When I asked he said she was a business partner.” Rebecca said while taking a sip from her coffee.

“How was they behaving with each other?” asked Nina.

“They were behaving normal. When I saw them there were in the parking near Peter’s car. That arrogant woman even insulted me in front of Peter.” Rebecca complained like a child.

“And you are saying this now? Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” asked Nina.

“I forgot about that incident.” Rebecca said shamelessly.

Nina just shook her head in disappointment.

Back in Lotus’s House…..

As soon as Lotus pulled up in front of her gate the security guard came running and opened the large metal door by pressing the electric button. Lotus then drove up to her house. She could hear James and Jenny giggling as she stepped out of the car. She followed their voice to their garden’s miniature playground. Jenny was giggling on the swing, and James was frantically attempting to play with a remote control car. But he failed each time the car veered off the track, making Jenny laugh even louder. A man stood beside James, instructing him on how to operate the car. Lotus came close. Because the man’s back was to her, she couldn’t see his face. The man was dressed in a white shirt. His masculine body was visible through the shirt’s fabric. Lotus approached them, and the man, sensing her presence, looked back. Lotus was taken aback when she saw Peter.

“What exactly are you doing here?” asked Lotus.

“I came to see James and talk business with you.” Peter replied with a sweet smile that can make tour toes curl.

“Mommy’s uncle Peter is teaching me how to play with cars.”James said to his mom.

“However, you’re a slow learner because you still don’t know how to drive your car.” Jenny taunted her brother.

“Jenny, don’t talk to your brother like that.” Lotus scolded Jenny sternly. Jenny looked sorry for her behavior so she nod.

“I believe there is a problem with this car. I’ll get you a new car tomorrow.” Peter said cheer James.

However Lotus came forward and took the remote from James.

“Let me try, James.” Lotus then started running the car. Seeing her controlling the car smoothly Peter became shocked. On the other hand Jenny was surprised and happy.

“Mommy is driving it so smoothly, yeeee Mommy is the best.” Jenny cheered for her mother.

“Wow you are doing well” said Peter. With a proud smirk Lotus bent down handed the remote to James.

“There is nothing wrong with the car. You just need to practice hard to learn.” She said to James. James nodded understanding his mother’s lesson. While Peter was just watching her in awe,
