The Billionaire's Bite
Chapter 77

Every step I take closer to his car is also the speed of my heartbeat. A few more seconds and I reached where he was standing.

I didn't know what to say so I remained silent as he stared at me. Later he smiled and approached me.

"I'd love to see you before I travel to save Mercedes." I slowly lifted my gaze because of what he said.

Then they got the information to find Marcus' mother.

'I love you so much Anna, and no matter how much you drive me away I will still choose to love you. I tell you this because if we don't win this battle even on my last day I can tell you how I feel. I have no regrets for the actions I took, starting with snatching your footlong and taking you as my secretary because of that I got to know you even more thoroughly. Anna, always be careful, and don't worry I will guide and protect you at any time." He said those words with great emotion. I can feel how sincere every letter he mentions today. Mixed emotions I feel now, but I can't answer because only sadness dominates me.

I slowly felt his hand touch my cheek. I looked up and our eyes met.

'Goodbye, Anna..." When he said that word he slowly let go of my cheek. None of my own suddenly grabbed his two hands. I could see the change in the expression on his face.

I could no longer hold back the tears in my eyes. 'I-I'm sorry Drake... I'm sorry..." I don't know why that word came out of my mouth. I feel guilty for everything I've done, it's not Drake's fault for me to avoid him. What happened that night we both wanted. we loved each other and I can't deny that.

I thought for a moment about what to say because I knew when I let go of his hand now there was no certainty if we would meet again. I want to tell him everything now.

"Sorry for what?" he asked and immediately wiped the tears from my cheeks.

"Drake I'm sorry because I'm doing this to you, you make me uncomfortable. I'm sorry because I'm afraid of the consequences if I accept your love. I'm very very sorry Drake. You just don't know how much I feel sorry for you every time I make you feel like I'm avoiding you. You know the truth Drake, I love you so much. And since what you said today, I don't know why I just seem to wish that time would have slowed down, I'm sorry because a lot of time was wasted on the two of us. Drake, I'm very sorr- "I couldn't speak anymore when I suddenly felt his soft lips on mine. My whole body stiffened and I gradually closed my eyes. My hands seemed to have a life of their own when they suddenly moved and crawled up to his nape.

I will never forget this feeling, it seemed like time had stopped and we could only hear our heartbeats.

A few more minutes passed until we finished kissing. Now our foreheads were glued to each other and all we could do was smile.

"I'll promise I'll take care of your heart and never hurt you. I love you, Anna." Smiling he promised.

"I love you too Drake..." Did I seem to feel sad again when I said that term, perhaps because I knew he was leaving and I didn't know when I would see him again or if I would ever see him again? "The night is getting darker. Goodnight Anna."

I didn't want to talk and I just wanted to walk quickly back to the condo but my chest was pulling hard, so I stayed where I was while Drake was wondering.

"What's the problem?" He asked. I did not immediately answer his question because tears welled up in my eyes.

"Drake... Promise you can come back..." I promised weakly.

"I promise Anna, for you." After he let go of that term my feelings seemed to calm down. I gave him a wide smile and walked back to the condo.

CELESTE'S POV

I woke up because of the sunlight touching my cheek. I immediately rubbed my sinuses because of the dizziness. I was so drunk last night and I can't remember how I got home safely.

As I rolled my eyes the events of yesterday came back to me. Sadness and anger revived in my heart.

"Damn you, Anna!" None of my own made me scream in the room. I immediately stood up and straightened myself.

After I washed and brushed my teeth I went out of the room. I saw Blade at the table and having breakfast. I slowly came up behind him and kissed him.

"Good morning babe..." I greeted him tenderly. He didn't answer and his face was serious, he just focused on his food. 'Why are you acting like that? What's wrong?" I asked before sitting down. "What's going through your brain Celeste, did you see that we're short of money? You even got a glass," he replied and glared at me.

'Is it just that? Aren't you used to me yet?"

"So what do you want me to do, to be even happier with what you did?" His forehead furrowed even more and I knew his anger increased even more.

I squeezed my sinuses because I still felt a little dizzy. .in fact I don't usually explain but since I know he's starting to get angry I have to explain to him my reason so that this fight doesn't get worse. We were silent for a few seconds and then I began to explain.

"Now you know my reason why I got drunk last night," I said after I told everything that happened yesterday.

'So what's your plan? Don't tell me you'll just cry there and let that woman ruin our plan?"

"Of course, I have a plan, just give me time and everything will be fine," I answered smiling.

You made a mistake with Anna, if you hadn't gotten into our plan maybe you would have lived even longer here on the face of the earth.
