Billionaire’s Lost Angel

Lotus P. O. Y

I’ve always known Lilly craves the attention of others, but I had no idea she’d cause a commotion in front of my workplace. What surprised me the most was Peter. He has been guarding me like a valuable treasure since the beginning. But I’m no longer that innocent Lotus. Now I know how to fight back.

“What do you mean when you say I’m seducing your husband? I don’t even want to see that jerk’s face.” I said to her while spitting venom with my words.

“Why did you go to the cafe this morning if you didn’t want to see his face? Are you pretending to be innocent in front of your new boyfriend?” she said the last part looking at Peter. She had mistaken Peter for my boyfriend.

“George was the one who threatened me to accompany him. I had to call my bodyguards to get rid of your husband. Ask them if you don’t trust me.” I told her pointing to my guards behind her.

“Do you trust her? She has been in love with George for seven years, and now that she has the opportunity, she plans to pursue him to repair their relationship. If you are a wise man, I would advise you to seize your woman.” She said to Peter while struggling to be free from the guards.

“I trust Lotus more than anyone else here, and I don’t need to learn from a pathetic woman like you who seduced her sister’s fiancé to sleep with her and framed her innocent sister. Keep your f*cking distance from her. Otherwise, you will face the consequences the next time.” Peter told her in an ice-cold voice.

“Do you have any idea who my father is? How dare you speak to me in that manner?” Lilly spitted angrily on Peter. She wanted to pounce on me again but my guards didn’t let her.

Peter looked at his watch and told me in a soft tone, “Let’s go, dear, we’re running late. Guards handle her with caution.” He said the last words to his guards who are now taking Lilly away from us.

Peter drew me along with him to his car. He started the car after making sure I was okay. My bodyguards are following us in my car. Peter took a look at his dashboard’s digital watch and stepped on the accelerator as we are getting late for school.

When we arrived at school, it was five minutes after their class had ended. I jumped out of the car and dashed into the school. I noticed James and Jenny in front of their class with their teacher. I dashed over to them and enveloped them in my embrace.

“I am sorry my babies. Mommy was busy in a work I promise I won’t be late the next time.” I told them while hugging them.

“All right, mommy.” They replied in unison

“Who wants to join me for lunch?” Peter said from my behind. James and Jenny suddenly became very happy after seeing Peter there.

“Uncle Peter,” James said while running to Peter. Peter squatted down and picked him up. “Would you like to take us out to lunch?”Jenny said while holding my hand.

“Yes, I’m giving you and your mother a treat,” Peter said to the kids. His voice was nowhere near cold like a few moments ago.

“What is the reason for the treat, uncle Peter?” James asked this time.

“Today I earn a lot of money, and I recently met two sweet bunnies, so it’s worth celebrating,” Peter said while pinching James’s nose. They are looking so adorable.

“Yeee, we are going to have lunch with uncle Peter,” Janny said with delight.

The car came to a halt in front of a five-star restaurant. Peter assisted me and the kids in getting out of the car. As soon as we walked into the restaurant, a host rushed over to greet us.

“Mr. Robinson, good afternoon. Let me take you to the VIP room, which is ready for you and your family.”

We were led to a private room by the host. He left after showing us the room. The room had a big table with four chairs among them two baby chairs were placed on the table. Peter’s efforts on behalf of my children made me feel honored. Peter drew a chair for me and helped James and Jenny sit in theirs. Jenny’s chair was on Peter’s right, while James’ chair was on my left.

“In this way, we can assist them in eating their food,” Peter explained to me. I nodded to him with a small smile.

“Thank you very much, Peter. Not only for this lunch but also for standing with me earlier.” I told him my gratitude.

“I will always be there for you, Lotus, no matter what.” He said directly looking at my eyes. There was something in his eyes that make me believe that he was saying the truth. I diverted my gaze from him.

After a few minutes, a waiter arrived with menus, one for me and one for Peter.

“Sir, ma’am, I’m waiting outside; when you’ve decided what to order, please call me. We also have excellent baby foods here.” He said politely then left the room and stood beside the door.

“What would you like, James and Jenny?” I asked them.

“I’m going to eat pizza,” James said immediately. “I’m craving pasta,” Jenny said while rubbing her small tummy. She loves food just like me.

“What do you want, Lotus?” Peter asked me. I looked over the menu and decided on my dish.

“I’m going to have steak and mashed potatoes.” L told him my choices. He nodded and called the waiter to place the order.

After placing the order, I asked James and Jenny about their school experiences. Peter conversed with them as well.

“Do you like my mother, Uncle? You are constantly staring at Mommy.” Jenny asked Peter out of blue making him off guard but soon he managed to recover from this.

“Yes, I like your mother. Will you persuade her to join me on a date?” Peter said to Jenny in her ear but I could hear him.

“Will you be our daddy if we persuade Mommy to be your girlfriend? I, like other children, want a father.” Jenny said innocently and it was my turn to be embarrassed.

“Stop babbling with your uncle Jenny.” I tried to scold her. But she is not going to stop any soon.

“Why is that, Mommy? Uncle Peter is very attractive. James adores him as well.” Jenny was trying to play matchmaker with me. Is she my child?

“Yes, mommy, everyone else has a father, but we don’t.” This time Jams spoke. His words cut me deep in my heart but I stayed calm.

I was going to stop them from saying anything else. It’s embarrassing, but before I could say anything, the waiter returned with our meals.

“Stop talking and get to eating,” I told them both.

I assisted James in eating his pizza so that he wouldn’t ruin his clothes. When I looked over at Jenny, I noticed Peter was feeding her. When he was feeding Jenny, he glinted with delight in his eyes.

“Jenny, eat alone and don’t bother Uncle Peter,” I told her as I don’t want Peter to feel burdened. But his reply stunned me.

“She’s not bothering me, and I’d like to feed her. Allow me to assist you as well.” After saying that Peter took my plate of steak, cut it into small pieces, and returned it to me.

“Now eat quickly before it gets cold.” He said to me pointing at the steak pieces.

“When are you going to eat?” I asked him while putting a piece of steak in my mouth.

“Don’t worry, I’m also eating.” He said and shoved a spoon full of rice in his mouth. Then again started feeding Jenny.

Peter paid the bills and drove us home after we finished our meals. As soon as she saw us, Monica came over to assist me with the kids.

“Please take them to freshen up and nap for the afternoon, Monica,” I told to Monica.

Monica escorted the kids upstairs. Peter and I were standing alone on our porch all alone.

“I’m sorry for the children, Peter. They should not be speaking to you in this matter.” I apologized to him.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“I didn’t mind their words, Lotus. I truly meant what I said. I genuinely like you, Lotus.” He said while holding my chin in between his fingers.

It felt like someone poured a bucket of ice water on me. After Peter’s confession, I stiffened.

“Peter, I respect you, but something happened in my past. I no longer believe in relationships. If my father does not trust me, how can I trust others?” I said to him what’s in my heart as I don’t want any conflict between us.

“I’m not telling you to put your trust in me, Lotus. I’m just asking for a chance. Give me a chance to earn your trust. I truly want to be James and Jenny’s father. and I’m not asking you to make a decision right now. You can take as much time as you want. I’ll be waiting for you.” He then got into his car and drove away from here.

“You know you should just give him a chance.” I jumped after hearing Monica’s voice from behind of me all of a sudden.

“Monica you startled me,” I said while holding my heart to make it calm.

“How long are you planning to live alone? You also like him I saw it in your eyes.” She said to me.

“Monica you should check your eyes. You are getting old.” With that, I went to my room.

Lilly’s P. O. V

I was sitting in a bar, my face was swollen. I’m not sure how many glasses I drank. Lotus left with her boyfriend, and his bodyguards dragged me into a car. They blindfolded me with a black cloth and led me to a remote location. Then they all slapped me in the face, one by one, and left me there alone. There were no vehicles or people present. I walked for an hour and a half before reaching the highway. Then I took a taxi from there to come here for a drink. I’ve never felt so humiliated in my life. Even now, I’m embarrassed by how people reacted when they saw my swollen face.

“Lotus, I will exact my vengeance on you. You’re going to make your case in front of me.” I cried out loud in anger.

“Do you require any assistance in carrying out your vengeance?” Suddenly a lady came to my table said in a sweet tone. Her appearance was screaming of money. It was sure she belongs to a rich family.

“Who are you? What kind of vengeance are you referring to?” I asked her frowning.

“I completely forgot to introduce myself. My name is Rebecca. I’m referring to your retaliation against Lotus.”She said while sitting beside me.

“Why do you want to assist me? What is your motive?” I asked her cause nothing is free in this world.

“My fiancé is the man she was with today. He ended our four-year engagement for Lotus.” She said with bitterness on her face.

“So she seduced other people’s fiancées while blaming me for the same reason,” I mumbled to myself.

“Yes. That is why I want to assist you. We can make her pay for her sins if we work together.” She said while extending a hand to me. I took her hand for a shake.

“Okay, I’m in. Just tell me what I should do.” I told her drunkenly.

“When the time comes, I’ll let you know. Please keep my business card with you. I’ll call you once you’re sober.” She said then forwarded a card to me and left the bar.

‘Lotus, you have a slew of foes all around you. It’s only a matter of time before you leave the country again.’ I said to myself while gulping down the drink in my hand.
