THE BILLIONAIRE'S DESIRE novel Chapter 30

CHAPTER 30

With Marcus and Daniella, everything went smoothly. They never quarrelled about anything and were overjoyed to be together; nonetheless, Marcus was required to return to Hacienda Velasquez to legally quit his employment.

The village of Oslob has grown in popularity as a result of the whale sharks, and he discussed with Daniella a prospective business endeavour that would cater to the influx of tourists. They might form a partnership in which he would cover all construction costs and Daniella would allow him to utilize their beach and vineyard. It was still an idea that needed to be properly studied when he resigned from the farm.

"You are welcome to accompany me to the farm, and I will present you to my buddy and his wife," Marcus urged Daniella to accompany him.

"I'd love to, but perhaps another time." She declined, believing that his acquaintances would be surprised to see her and that she did not wish to impose on his job. "How about extending your stay here and returning there next week?" She was already accustomed to his presence, and it would feel strange and lonely without him.

"I wish I could, but I can no longer postpone my resignation; at the very least, now that the farm is not in peak season, it will be simpler for Samuel to find a successor." "I'm going to miss you, Dani," he said. As a result, I will make every effort to return as soon as possible," he pledged. Inwardly, he was relieved that Daniella would not accompany him back to the farm, since he feared Samuel may accidently leak information about the fifty million at stake in their game, and there was also Alicia.

"Do you believe you can finish in a week?" She enquired.

"Certainly! Additionally, Samuel employs a large number of farmhands at Hacienda Velasquez. Are you certain you will not accompany me?" He checked twice in case she changed her mind.

"I am certain. You stated that you would return in a week," she reminded him to hurry his agricultural business. "Marcus, I'm going to miss you so much." Even if they were in a public area, she said and held him passionately. She was no longer concerned because she would be unable to see him for several days.

"Identical here," he murmured into her ear. "If only this thing does not need to be resolved, I will not abandon you." He stated, but when Alexander and Lilian approached, he waved. "Ortega," he welcomed his friend, who was shouldering Vanessa. He had no idea what was going on between Lilian and Alexander, but the man appeared to be perpetually sleep deprived, as seen by his eyebags.

"Marcus, Lilian informed me that you're returning to the farm. "Are you leaving today?" Alexander enquired.

Marcus nodded and asked Lilian for permission to talk alone with Ortega. When she consented, the males withdrew to find a private space to converse.

"How are you and Alexander doing?" Daniella inquired of Lilian immediately upon their separation. It's implausible that nothing was going on between them when Lilian came dangerously close to breaking her neck in an attempt to capture a glimpse of the man who fled with Marcus. "You're still in love with him," she said, which elicited a strong response from Lilian.

"No, I'm not, and it's never going to happen!" She raised her voice as she stated her case, and Daniella's smile only served to make her sound less believable. However, she would never again let her heart to fall for that man!

Daniella smiled at Lilian's forceful comment about Alexander Ortega, but to be fair to the guy, he appeared to be a kind man, and she could tell he loved Lilian with all his heart; otherwise, he would not have stayed just to serve Lilian. "There is no such thing as a never, Lil. Consider me; for the second time, I'm over over heels in love with Marcus, and you know what? "Love is sweeter the second time around," Daniella teased Lilian so relentlessly that she missed Marcus's presence.

"Could it be that we are destined to be together?" Marcus interjected himself into their discussion, and Daniella frowned at him.

She searched every drawer and corner in her bedroom but was unable to locate his wallet. She stopped staring and walked over to the door to go, but not before scanning the entire room one more, which is when she discovered something dark beneath the bed. "Gotcha!" She cried out and knelt to get it. It must have slipped from his pocket during their previous sexual encounter.

Daniella was not meant to open the object in her hand since it was not hers, but she succumbed to temptation and rationalized her actions by persuading herself that she owed it to her sanity.

Whoever stated that what you don't know won't damage you may have been correct or incorrect, but after snooping on his wallet, she immediately regretted it.

If she had refrained from checking on it, she would have been unaware that he was married. When he stated it previously, she either didn't believe him or was in denial at the time. She clenched her jaw as she locked her gaze on the family photograph. How much of his background did he fabricate? She felt taken advantage of and deceived! For a little period, Daniella was immobile and simply let her tears fall from her eyes.

"Dani...," he yelled her name, but the woman was oblivious. Marcus only gazed at the woman who stood still as tears streamed from her eyes, and he wished Daniella had screamed and yelled at him, but she did not. She simply sobbed silently, which made it much more agonizing for him to witness. He approached Daniella and tightly held her. "I'm very sorry." He continuously murmured his sorry into her ears.
