Billionaire’s Lost Angel

Monica was watching Peter and Lotus from a distance as they played with the twins. They appeared to be a happy family of four. Monica secretly took a picture of them laughing together and sent it to Natasha.

Natasha was watching TV alone in her living room as her husband was on a business trip, when she received an image from Monica. When she opened the image, her face lit up with a warm smile. Lotus and Peter were genuinely laughing in that image, with James on Lotus’ lap and Jenny on Peter’s. They seemed to be a family.

‘My dear Lotus, it is time for me to intervene in your life and assist you in finding your happiness,’ she thought in her mind. Natasha typed a message in her mobile and sent it to Peter.

Peter was busy playing with Lotus and the kids when he received a text. He checked his mobile and saw the text was sent by none other than Natasha. He opened the text message. It says,

“When you are done playing, come to my place. Have something to talk.”

Peter frowned seeing her text. Lotus noticed his frown asked him out of curiosity.

“Is everything okay? If you have something important you can go back.” Lotus said to him.

“Nothing important.” Peter said while putting the mobile back into pocket and concentrate on the car race between James and Jenny.

I’m on my way to Natasha’s house. I’m not sure why she asked me to go there right away, but it’s good for me as well. I’ve also learned something from her. If I want to have a future with Lotus, I need to know about her past. Natasha is the only one who knows her. I’m just hoping she’ll answer my question. Before approaching her, I need to dispel my doubts that she has no one in her life. I only have three months, so every second counts. I changed gears and increased my speed. I arrived at her house soon.

Natasha and I were sitting across from each other in her living room. Her hands were crossed on her lap, and she was sheepishly smiling. She used to smile like this when she discovered one of my secrets when we were kids. I knitted my brows as I looked at her.

“You called me here quickly, and now you’re silent.” I told to her.

“I’m waiting for you to say who goes first. I know what you’re trying to keep from me.” She said folding her hands on her chest like he was challenging me.

After hearing her words, I stiffened. What did she mean when she said she knew everything? Is she referring to the night four years ago? I broke out in cold sweat.

“What’s the deal with your sudden pale face?” She said with concern this time.

“I’m not sick; I’m just tired. What do you know, tell me?” I asked her impatiently.

“I know you and Lotus have kissed the other day.” She said while dancing her brows.

After hearing her, I let out a chuckle. She’s still so immature. “So you’ve been talking about that kiss all along?” I asked her unable to hide my laughter.

“Yes. Did you do anything else besides kiss? Don’t tell me you had slept with her.” She asked me.

“I didn’t sleep with her, but rest assured that I will look after your friend.”I told her nonchalantly.

“I had a question for you. Do you have feelings for her? I mean, do you actually love her?” She asked mr making me off guard.

“I’m not sure I love her, but I want her to be a part of my life.” I said to her with sincerity.

“What about your vicious fiancée? She is extremely dangerous.” She reminded me about Rebecca.

“I called off my engagement to her yesterday. I informed my father that I intend to marry someone I love. So technically she is not my fiancée anymore.” I replied to her.

“Are you kidding me?” She asked while smiling ear to ear. Then asked me to confirm her intention. “Do you mean you’re telling the truth? Oh my goodness. I’ve known since the first day that you have feelings for her.”

“Yes, I’ve always had a soft spot for her. What about her, though? What if she has another person in her heart?” I told her my concern.

“She isn’t in love with anyone. Except for that cheater George, she had never been in a relationship.”Natasha said that. I observed that her face became dark while talking about George.

After hearing that, something in my heart twitched. If it is true then who is the father of James and Jenny? I thought to myself.

“Natasha, if I have a question for you, will you tell me?” I asked her.

“It all depends on what you’re asking.” Natasha said while shrugging her shoulders.

“Who is James and Jenny’s father? What happened to him?” I asked her the question I wanted to know the most.

“Peter, I believe it is not my responsibility to inform you of this. Lotus is the only one who has the authority to reveal this information. I sincerely apologize.” She said like a true friend. I am proud of my cousin. She is indeed an ideal friend but I have to know the truth.

“Nat, you’re just not getting it. I have no issues with the children. I adore them. I am ready to accept them as my children, but I must first ensure that their biological father will not appear to take them away from me. I’ve already lost Lotus once, and I’m not going to lose her again.” I told her about my fear.

“What do you mean when you said you’ve lost Lotus before? As far as I know, you two met in a business meeting a few days ago, correct?” She asked quizzically. I took a sharp breath. I think its time for me to tell her the truth of our past.

“Lotus and I met in a hotel room four years ago. I recall her vividly, but she doesn’t remember me because she was drunk.” I told her while looking down.

“Allow me some time to process everything. So you’re saying you’re the person to whom she unknowingly gave her virginity on her wedding day?” She asked. She was totally dumbfounded by the truth.

“I am, in fact, that person.” I accepted my fault.

“Do you realize how much she despises you? What were you thinking when you did that to her? You’ve never been a womanizer, have you?” She asked me angrily. It is clear to me she also hates me for this.

“Natasha In my opinion, I did nothing. She approached me while I was under the influence of a strong aphrodisiac. She wasn’t just any bride in my opinion. She was an angel sent from heaven to save me from the effect of the drug moreover to save my life.” I explained her everything about that night. She rubbed her face with her both hands after knowing the truth. Then suddenly she started laughing. Did I told her something that made her crazy? I wasn’t expecting this reaction from her. I sat beside her and hold her hand.

“Natasha, are you all right? Why are you acting this way?” I asked her while rubbing her hand.

“I’m laughing because of destiny. It brought you two together a long time ago, but you two idiots never got it.” She said between her laugh which made me angry.

“I looked everywhere for her, but she had vanished. She simply vanished into thin air in the middle of the night. There was no CCTV footage and no one knew about her from the hotel reception. I can’t possibly find anyone if they didn’t have a name or an identity. For a moment I used to believe she was a figment of my imagination.” I told her.

“Now I understand why fate brought her to me. You two were made for each other.”She said while hugging me with tears. This girl is going to make me crazy. Why is she behaving like a hormonal mad woman.

“That’s why I’m curious about her children’s father. I don’t want anyone to get in the way of us again.” I asked her again about the father of James and Jenny. I couldn’t hold any more suspense. She burst into laughter again. Like seriously?

“This is the first time I’ve seen someone so envious of himself. Hahahahah” She started laughing again. This girl will make me crazy.

“What are you babbling about? Have you gone insane? Allow me to contact your husband.” When I took out my phone to call her husband, reality hit me. She gave her virginity to me, not George, and after her divorce, she never had another relationship. that is to say Oh my goodness.

“Please tell me Is what I’m thinking correct? Please tell me right away, Natasha. You must pause your game.” I asked her like child. I couldn’t hide my joy.

“Yes, you’re thinking correctly. If what you’re saying is true, you’re their biological father.” She said and hugged me again. This time I hugged her back. I am beyond happy now. I have a family, I have two cutest children.

“How can life be so kind to me? I’ve been looking for her for four years. I found her with my own children after four years?” I asked out loud while tears were coming out of my eyes. I was never an emotional person but this moment everything seems different.

“Let’s go Natasha, to tell her everything. I can’t keep my children away from me any longer. I want to wrap my arms around them. I can’t afford to lose them again.” I tried to get up from the couch but she stopped me.

“Stop, you can’t take a step because of your emotions. You must comprehend. That was a wonderful night for you, but it was a nightmare for her that destroyed her entire life for her. She despises that person with all her heart. You must wait before disclosing the truth in front of her.” She tried explain me.

“But, Natasha, I can’t wait any longer knowing that my children are right in front of my eyes, but I can’t tell them I’m their father. It stings.” I don’t know how to control my emotions anymore.

“I know you’re not at fault here, Peter, but sometimes you have to make a sacrifice for your loves ones.” Natasha said to me.

“So what do you suggest? What should I do now? I don’t have much time as dad gave me only three months to get married. How can I possibly manage to win her heart in just three months?” I shouted in desperation. Why destiny is playing games against me? Why can’t life be easier for me for once. I want my children and the woman I love why can’t I just go and tell them everything right away? ‘Damn it’ I yelled at no one but the destiny.

I was driving back to my home. Natasha stopped me from speaking the truth in front of Lotus for now. I have to wait until I win her heart. And i have to win her heart. From this moment she is my woman only mine. No one can ever hurt her again. Not that she needs my help but I will always be with her in every step of her life. I need her her in my life to keep me sane. Before I had only one mission to find her but from this moment I have a new mission. I have to win my woman’s heart and get them back into my life. My heart flatters whenever I think that I have a daughter and a son. They are cute as hell. I spent a whole evening with them still I didn’t know they were mine.
