The Billionaire’s Secret Twins A Tale of Hidden Heirs by Pinky Library

Chapter 23 

“I don’t know if my decision was right, to be honest. I’ve been thinking for a day now, and I can’t get out of my mind what I said to Damon. I want to be angry at myself. because why does it seem so easy for him to have access to my life again?. 

But who’s the fool who agreed? 

“Honey…” 

“Yes?” 

I 

snap 

back to reality when I hear Dominic’s voice calling me. His eyebrows are raised at me as our eyes meet. I blink, wondering what he said. 

“What was that?” 

He sighed and slowly set down his spoon and fork, as if he were disappointed in me. 

“I’m sorry, I’m just really preoccupied with the meeting later on with the international stockholders who have shown an interest in my cosmetic line. I’ve worked hard to bring this idea to fruition and now it’s finally happening.” 

“I understand, but it’s a bit frustrating because I’ve been talking since earlier, and your mind seems to be wandering everywhere.” 

The two of us are now in our usual restaurant. Dominic picked me up, and we’re eating together as usual. But lately, my mind has been preoccupied with other things all day, and I’ve noticed that I’ve been deep in thought and distracted for a while now. 

“That’s why I’m sorry, please. I understand when you’re tired and not in the mood to talk, right? I know it can be discouraging, but I hope you understand from my perspective.” 

He nodded and lowered his gaze to his plate, “I understand, baby. Please, let’s not have a misunderstanding, okay? I’m sorry if you felt that way. I understand your schedule.” 

I placed my hand on his and gently stroked his back while smiling at him, “I’m sorry too. Let’s just eat, okay?” 

Fortunately, no further discussion happened between us until we finished eating and left the restaurant. Honestly, ever since I got home after meeting Damon, I haven’t been myself. Just as he said, my mind has been all over the place, and just like one time, when he asks for a spoon, I’d hand him a plate.

Of course, we talked the night after that because he got worried. He had many questions about where I went and what I did. I told him it was just for work. 

“You’re not meeting Damon behind my back, are you?” 

It was surprising how suddenly he asked me about this. 

I 

mean, yes, sometimes he asks me if I meet up with Damon and if we talk, but at that time, I confidently answered him that I don’t meet up with Damon to talk. 

But now, it feels like what I did weighs heavily on him, even though nothing happened. between Damon and me. But because I’m already lying to Dominic, I have to stick to it because I don’t want to ruin what we have. 

“No, dear. Don’t worry. I really don’t talk to him because I don’t care about him. 

anymore.” 

Suddenly, a voice in the back of my head whispered. “But you gave him a chance to prove himself to you, didn’t you?” 

Sometimes, my conscience is just annoying, not letting me stay silent. I know I’m at fault, but there will come a time when I can confess to Dominic. Just not now. 

I need more time. 

“Ready to go?” 

I snapped back to reality when I heard Dominic’s voice. I found that he was already standing, and our meal had been paid for. I blinked and quickly stood up. We left the restaurant, and Dominic escorted me to my company. 

“I’ll see you later, darling. Take care and update me on what’s happening there, okay?” he said when I got off. 

I nodded and k*ssed him on the cheek, “Yes, I’ll text you. Take care on your way, okay? Bye. See you later.” 

I closed the car door and headed straight to the entrance of my company. I got into the elevator and pressed the button for the top floor. 

However, before it could close, two hands stopped the door, and the elevator suddenly opened again. A man wearing a face mask and a cap entered the elevator. I moved aside to give way, and the door closed just as we were ascending to the floor of my office. 

I couldn’t help but glance at the man through the elevator’s reflection. Tall, with a well-

built physique…actually, he was quite muscular. Somehow, his physique seemed familiar, but I couldn’t distinguish who he was.

I just ignored it and focused on what’s ahead. I felt the man beside me move, as if he was removing his face mask. 

“Hey.” 

My whole b*dy tensed, and my eyes widened when I heard that familiar voice. I suddenly turned to the man with me in the elevator, and my heart almost leaped out of my chest when I saw who it was… 

“D–Damon…” 

What is he doing here?! 

He teasingly grinned when he saw my reaction. Remembering my expression, I quickly scowled, even though it was too late. I already looked flustered in his eyes, even if I 

wasn’t! 

“An agreement is an agreement, I want to make it up to you, so-” 

“Shh!” 

He was puzzled why I hushed him. I gestured toward the camera installed in the elevator. I felt nervous, wondering if there was security behind the camera and if it saw who I was talking to. Later, I would check it to quiet my mind. It’s better to be cautious because information like this might unexpectedly reach Dominic. 

The elevator opened, but instead of heading straight to my office, I pulled him towards the private restroom in the lounge. I locked the door and faced him. 

I placed my hand on my waist and looked at him from head to toe, “First of all, how did you get in here? It’s not that easy to enter, especially-” 

“I pretended to be a stockholder with an appointment with you. Of course, I faked my name, I faked my company name, and I faked the appointment that was scheduled for today.” 

I blinked at him, unable to believe it. Is he for real? I just shook my head and sighed. I mean, sure, there’s a chance of bumping with Damon, especially since it’s a small world, but I didn’t expect it to happen this soon! 

“Be thankful that no one saw you because if someone did? It might reach Dominic! I don’t want the two of us to be fighting! And what are you doing here anyway?”

His expression darkened when I mentioned Dominic’s name, but when I pressed him for an answer, he smirked teasingly, “To visit you and to see how your corporation is doing.” 

I couldn’t help but roll my eyes, “I don’t need your help. I am doing perfectly fine in my company. So, can you leave before someone sees you?” 

I turned away from him, planning to leave him to find his way down to the ground floor on his own, but I felt him grab my arm. Before I could react, he spun me around, and I suddenly realized how close our bodies were. 

“What if I don’t want to leave because I want to wait for you until you finish work?” 

I shuddered at how sultry and seductive his tone sounded. His hand held firmly but with a hint of caution on the small of my back. 

I swallowed hard, furrowing my brow, “Let go of me, Damon…” I whispered. 

I pushed against his chest, intending to pull away from him, when he suddenly spoke, sending shivers down my spine. 

“I bet you look stunningly irresistible while working.” 

I cursed in my thoughts several times. Is he for real? I closed my eyes tightly, unable to speak properly. I wanted to push him away and create some distance because we were too close, but for some unknown reason, I couldn’t move. 

“Hmm? What’s the matter? Why do you seem so stiff?” he teased. 

My mood soured, and I gave him a d*rty look. 

“I’m leaving.” 

I pushed him away and pulled my hand away from him. I turned my back on him, ready to leave when he did something unexpected. 

He took hold of my hand and turned me to face him again, but this time, he held me by the n*eck while I leaned against the wall. It wasn’t in a threatening way; his touch was gentle and careful, as if he held a precious gem. 

“Don’t abandon me here, sweetheart.” 

I cursed again. Why does he become like this? Why does it seem like he’s tempting me? And why does it seem to have an effect? I shook my head and was about to push him away when he placed his hand on my jaw, lifting my face to meet our gaze.

I saw how his gaze lowered to my l*ps as I wet this. I felt nervous because who knows what might happen in the bathroom. I also didn’t know how the situation escalated to this point. 

“You won’t leave me, right?” he whispered…his eyes gradually becoming intense and sensual. 

I didn’t speak; instead, my l*ps parted slightly on their own. This time, his gaze remained on them, as if he had no intention of diverting his attention. My throat felt dry, and I didn’t know what to do. My mind was becoming more and more tangled, especially as he slowly brought his face closer to mine. 

My heart panicked, my entire b*dy tensed. I wanted to push him away. I wanted to scream at him to stay away from me and never come close… 

But it was too late because before I could grasp what was happening, our l*ps met…and for five years of not being together, I thought I no longer felt any spark between us. 

Not until he k*ssed me just like the first time we did it.
