THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE

CHAPTER 34

CHAPTER 34

Lilian and Alexander did not appear at supper, and Daniella became concerned. Paloma was overjoyed when she joined them. Later, she would inquire of her stepmother about Lilian and Alexander's current circumstances. When they were so in love, it was difficult to believe they were siblings.

"Ma, I didn’t officially introduce you to my future father in law," Daniella said after they had completed their supper and were left with only mango floats for dessert.

"Yes, Marcus, you bring him here. Paloma said, "Invite your father over.”

Marcus and Daniella exchanged puzzled looks because they felt Paloma was already aware of Philip's existence when she invited him to join her meeting with Lilian and Alexander.

Philip, on the other hand, was perplexed. Didn't he already introduce himself to the woman? Her blood pressure really increased following the introduction. He cleared his throat and announced his presence as they debated him, but Edwin arrived before he could say anything to Paloma, and Paloma invited the guy to join them for desserts.

"Gerald and his girlfriends came to visit with me,” Edwin explained. "Is Gerald dating anyone?” Daniella delighted as she learned that her buddy had finally made himself accessible on the market.

Marcus grimaced at Daniella for being overjoyed that the guy had come to visit. despite the fact that he was accompanied by a girlfriend. “However, where have they gone?” He enquired.

"They were simply playing with Sky in the living room," Edwin said.

"Thank you, Tito: we're going there right now.”

He went behind Daniella as they made their way to the living room, where Gerald was waiting. "You appear ecstatic that he's here," Marcus observed "Certainly. Itis not every day that he pays me a visit," she responded.

His nostrils rose as he verified Daniella's delight at Gerald's arrival and glowered at her, but his scowls melted away as he came face to face with the woman Gerald had brought in. “Alicia?” How did she learn he was in Oslob?

Alica smiled warmly at Marcus and walked up to him to properly welcome him with a kiss! Following the kiss, she smiled triumphantly.

Daniella's eyes widened in surprise upon witnessing such event in front of her! She looked around to check if she was only imagining things. but the people around them had the same reaction as hers. When Marcus freed himself from the other woman's clutches, she glared at him.

No questions asked. She turned around and walked away.

Marcus followed and he kept on explaining, but she was not an idiot! Daniella was skeptical when Marcus informed him that he was not dating Alicia No lady in her right mind would kiss someone she met for the first time, and she was far from blind! She noticed as Alicia clutched Marcus to her chest as though she was in desperate need of her! "Do you believe I'm a fool?” She yelled and scratched the man's face!

“Dani, put an end to this!" Marcus attempted to evade Daniella's strikes, but Daniella transformed herself into an amazon warrior.

"So, tell me who she is?” How did you become acquainted with her? Did you maintain contact with her in order for her to be aware of your whereabouts?” Her mind was still racing with questions, and she desired to ask him everything! She was so enraged that she felt as if her heart would explode or she would burst into tears at any minute! However, before she allowed her tears to flow, she would obtain all of the information she could from Mareus.

"All well, but may we discuss it privately?” He suggested to Daniella that they go inside their room for further privacy. Quarreling in the living room would just provide fodder for staff rumor, and Ortega's men may be watching right now!

"Follow me," she murmured as she took a step forward.

Daniella smacked Marcus and even kicked his knees as soon as they entered the seclusion of their chamber. She vowed she would refrain from kicking his crotch, but the temptation to kick him remained, and she instead targeted his knees. "Tell me now," she pleaded.

"She also worked on the farm with which I was assisting. "We were simply coworkers," he stated.

“Coworkers do not kiss, Marcus." She brought up a point that the man had almost certainly overlooked in his attempt to rescue himself.

"I was oblivious to her kiss earlier!" He reasoned, but Daniella's angry eyes remained fixed on him, as if he were a criminal under investigation. "However, she kissed you? You have failed to adequately explain it to me!" Daniella was becoming irritated as she snapped at Marcus.

"I'm not sure! I truly have no idea, Dani. I've already made it obvious to her that our relationship is finished and that she should refrain from showing herself to me again.” Daniella was enraged when he blurted out the partial truth regarding Alicia. Sne was much angrier!

"So you're admitting that she was your ex-girlfriend?" She enquired "She was not, she was not. We did not have a connection in the manner in which I described it previously," he responded.

"How come you told her to stay away if you had no relationship with her?” I'm not sure I get your point. You are a deceiver!" She accused him of lying once more.

Marcus sighed deeply as he considered a better way to convey it to Daniella in a way that would not insult her. "The woman was completely fixated on me, Dani. She enticed me into doing it with her, but it occurred far too recently, when I left here. "At the time, you were still pregnant,” he said.

To be sure, she could contemplate it, but what about the times he returned to the farm to discuss his resignation with his employer? "I couldn't contact your phone for three days after you returned to the farm to tender your resignation. What transpired? Did you spend any quality time with her as I waited for you in vain?" She yelled at Marcus and resumed her assault on him.

The farm was frantic at the time, and he didn't have time to charge his phone. He was frequently exhausted when he returned home after working long hours, but how could he explain this to her? Without a certain, the woman would not trust him if he told her he was simply busy!

"Please save me from murdering you and simply go. Marcus, get out of my sight!" She motioned for him to depart and shifted her gaze away from him

When Marcus attempted to console her, Daniella lost control of her emotions and they streamed freely from her eyes. She attempted to speak in between sobbing, but no words came out of her lips.

Marcus allowed her to cry for a time and continued to console her. "You know how much I adore you, Dani." As he stated. "She will attempt to separate you from me." she explained after a few minutes of sobbing.

"Are you going to allow her?" He enquired.

“Certainly not!" She returned her response.

"I appreciate it, Dani. I know you are a reasonable lady who will not allow anybody else to stand in our way,” he stated

"You are correct; in addition to being sensible, I am not forgetful, and I recall you haven't yet explained why I couldn't contact you for three days!" She bowed her head and crossed her arms while she interrogated the man, who evidently assumed he could evade her probe.

"I didn't have time to charge my phone." he said truthfully, but the woman's raised eyebrows indicated she did not trust him. "I am being truthful Dani."

"Okay." she said.

Following their altercation, Marcus escorted Daniella to the greenhouse, a private area where she could quiet her furious desire to claw his eyes. “Are you confident in my ability to cope with Alicia?” He inquired before they sat at a bench designed specifically for floral arranging near her desk.

"To be really candid, I'm not sure I trust you with it. Perhaps you should allow me to manage your affair.” she said.

He shivered at the prospect of Daniella addressing or questioning Alicia. "Or perhaps we could choose a wedding date to prevent Alicia from stealing me away from you,” he said.

"Do you believe a wedding ceremony will deter her? If I were in her place, no ceremony could prevent me from taking what is mine, and in some ways, she and I are so similar!" She reacted.

He was not pleased with her reaction. Since he requested her hand in marriage and she replied yes, there had been no date established, and he began to wonder what was preventing the woman from establishing one. "How come Dani?” He enquired.

When perplexity began to mount in her, a single line of wrinkle emerged on her forehead. "What is the reason? Marcus, I don't understand." As she stated.

"Why are you still on the fence about marrying me?" I have repeatedly demonstrated my worth to you, and yet every time we discuss our wedding you will find a way to avoid it." He was upset and angered by her continual rejection, despite the fact that she had initially accepted his marriage proposal!

"You are aware that this is not the case, Marcus, Do we have to hurry? That is, we acé: OK, we are content, and we do not require any ceremony to prove ¢t! She was adamant. She was aware that Marcus was the-one who-thight bring her happiness for therémainder of her years, but they had previously been married and no one was aware of their annulment. Everyone except Lilian still regarded her as Marcus Madrigal's lawful wife! NovelDrama.Org

"You are correct; there is no ceremony to certify our happiness together, but Dani, I want to be certain that no other guy can have you! You are solely

mine, and I want to legalize it!" Marcus was adamant. He was certain in her love for him as well, then Gerald showed there, and the dang man plainly liked his lady!

Daniella grinned and hugged Marcus. "I have already become yours, Marcus." "My body and heart are exclusively yours, now and forever,” she said, looking him in the eye.

His knees buckled for the nth time at her proclamation of love. Since he met her, it had always been this way. He was rendered weak in the knees by the woman, and he was perpetually lost in the depths of her gaze. "I love you,” he said, lowering his mouth to take hers

Daniella allowed his mouth to rule hers and closed her eyes to taste his kisses’ deliciousness. "I love you as well,” she answered as soon as his mouth released hers.
