The Billionaire's secret Love by Manogyna Marthi (positive books to read .txt) 📗

Leaning towards the headboard, my dad picks up the receiver of the phone from the night stand. "Maria, get the dinner ready within fifteen minutes. Little miss muffin is hungry and throwing tantrums." He teases me looking at me with a tender smile. "Daddy..." I whine giving his shoulder a soft push. "Augustus is a very balanced and intelligent man, princess. He knows how to play his cards." Dad assures me silently and pushes the wild hairs away from my face to clean my face with a soft napkin. "I have lot many enemies in this country. Sunshine industries rules three fourths of American economy which you already know. No businessman having brains would try to invoke a rivalry with Augustus Martin. You being working closely for him nobody could dare to touch you and that are what Augustus has exactly planned for. Outwardly he was employing you to discharge the debt and people recognized him as a tough business man but inwardly he was protecting you from all my enemies."

Dad was singing all laurels about Augustus Martin but was there indeed a truth resting behind all this? Or was he just meddling with my dad's emotions in tackling me into this loveless marriage for a calculative rogue that he is?

We eat the dinner in silence each one of us occupied in our thoughts. I look at my dad and he was in turn looking thoughtfully towards me. I hug my dad bringing myself out of the chair. "Don't worry so much about me dad. I can take care of myself. I would kick that bastard in his balls if he ever dares to touch me." I tell him with a reassuring smile.

My dad looks at me as though I had grown two heads and gives me a warning look. "You will never do such things to your husband. I know like many Augustus doesn't boast himself with speeches of giving you a life of luxury. I also note he doesn't give you cliché speeches like the hero on those romantic tales that you read in books. He is definitely not your knight in shining armor but if you could read, there is love behind every move that he makes for you. Actions speak louder than words, Sunshine......If only you could understand them." He tells me with a defeating sigh in his tone.

I wasn't still ready to buy everything dad told me. Augustus's territory in manipulating humans was exquisitely excellent and probably he attained a grip even on my dad's hairs but for a penny to my thoughts....

Was my dad telling me the truth?

What if Augustus indeed loves me and is really protecting me?

Am I ready to accept him as my husband?

What if he kicks me out with no second thoughts after two years and the expiry of the deal?

Augustus Martin I am never going to love you and break my heart but....I think the damage has already been done.

😥poor Angelica, can someone help her please?

Should she marry Augustus Martin?
