The Billionaire 3: Tyron Cruz

Chapter 16

“Is something wrong?” Bella asks, nervous.

“What is Don Samuel’s real aim on this marriage?” He asks sternly. “He wants to see his great

grandchild? He wants to see you in great hands? What a bluff!” He shouted in rage making her flinch.

“Tyron…” She was speechless, she doesn’t know what to say nor do. Slowly, her eyes were filled with

tears, her hands were shaking.

“Tell me, Isabella, what does Don Samuel wants?” He asks, his face is red in rage. “If it is true that he

cares for you then why is there no record of him supporting you and your mother for the past nineteen

years?” He asks. “Why?” He shouted again.

“I…I don’t know.” She said as her tears started to fall. “I don’t really know… I’m sorry.”

“Sorry?” He shouted. “Sorry? Is that all you could say? Sorry?” His anger is evident on his voice and

expression. “All along you are playing with me, you and your grandfather!”

“No, that is not true!” She protested and tries to hold his hand but he moves backward and looks at her

with disgusted eyes.

“Don’t touch me!” He said. “Is this a revenge to my family?” He softly asks. “It is not only you who lost a

father, Bella. Just like you, I also lost my father at a young age. So, don’t act like a victim here.” He

added.

“It’s not like that…” She said in between her sobs Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“I will not be surprised if a scandalous article about me will be publish.” Tyron said. “You are just like

your grandfather!”

“No! Please, listen to me, Tyron.” She pleads but he shakes his head.

“You told me that you married me for money. Where are you using the money I give you weekly?” He

suddenly asks. “You’re also always accusing me having an affair but who is Ricardo Ferrer?” He asks

making her flinch. “You are giving him the money I’m putting on your account, aren’t you?”

“I am not having an affair!” She said. “Yes, I admit that I married you for the money you will put weekly

on my account but there’s a reason behind it.” She said, desperate. “I used that money to pay our debt,

Tyron. It is Ricardo Ferrer who helped us financially when my mother is hospitalized, from the bills to

the operations and chemotherapy until my mother died. The reason why I hastily accepted the offer to

enter the show business is because I knew that it is the easiest way for me to earn money. Ricardo

Ferrer gave me an ultimatum of three months to pay all those debts, and that is when Don Samuel

entered the story. He told me to marry you and my problems will be solved.” She explained.

“And you didn’t even bother saying no?”

“I did!” She said, slightly raising he voice. “I did say no, Tyron, believe me. I don’t even know you that

time and I don’t want to marry a stranger but Don Samuel threatens me.” she sighs. “At first, I thought

that those were just all empty threats until I slowly lose my projects. My career is at risk if I don’t accept

his offer.” She explained.

“And Don Samuel’s real aim is?”

“I don’t know.” She answers. “I tried asking him multiple times but he didn’t say a word.”

“Damn!” Tyron curses. She took that chance to get her luggage and fix her clothes. “What are you

doing?” He asks, when he noticed her.

“I’m leaving. Now that you knew the truth, there is no reason for us to stay together.” She said. “Don’t

worry about the company, it is now yours, so we don’t have to wait for the official turn over. And about

the money, I didn’t touch it after paying my debt. I will slowly pay you back.”

“You are not going anywhere, Bella!” He seriously said. “I am angry from what I’ve learned but I am still

sane. We are married and you are my wife!” He said before leaving her alone in the room.

Isabella sat down on the floor as she cried her heart out. No matter what reason she has, there is no

doubt that she is Don Samuel’s accomplice for tricking Tyron.

She can understand where Tyron is coming from. He has the right to be angry at her, but her heart

aches too much. As much as possible, she doesn’t to end their happy moments. It’s been years that

she feels happy and contented but then again, because of her grandfather, everything is gone. What’s

the point of being married if both of them are not happy?

She wipes her tears away when her phone rings, she checked who the caller is and she answers it

immediately.

“Are you happy now, old man? You ruined my happiness again!” She said thinking that it was Don

Samuel.

“Miss Isabella…” She was taken aback when it was the head of the housekeeper, Anna who is on the

other line. “Miss Bella, your grandfather is rushed in the hospital again.” She said making her frown.

“Again?” She asks.

“Yes, miss. All those times that you thought that he’s overseas, he is actually admitted at the hospital.

These past few months, he is recovering here in the mansion, but earlier, he suddenly got a heart

attack.” The head of the maids said. “If only you can talk to him, Miss. I know that you are the only

person why he is fighting for his life.”

“And why would I talk to him? He chased me and my mother out of his life 19 years ago!” She said,

raising her voice. “He let us struggled! When my mother was hospitalized, he didn’t even visit us once

nor give us financial assistance!” Her voice is full of anger and hatred towards her grandfather.

“That is not true, Miss Bella.” Anna said. “It is not true that the master abandoned you and your mother.

Your mother knew that, Miss. Everything that the master did is for you and your mother’s safety.” She

added.

“Stop spurting nonsense!” She said.

“Please believe me, Miss. Your grandfather loves you very much and he knows that he can’t protect

you forever that is why he married you off to Tyron.” Anna said making her shock.

“Wha…what do you mean?” She uttered in surprised.

“Morgan Industries is so precious to him, and knowing that Tyron wants to have it, he used it as a bait

to let Tyron marry you.” She said. “There are things that only the master can answer, miss, but please

believe me when I say that he didn’t let you suffer alone, he, himself suffered too. I witnessed how the

once happy and warm mansion turned into a lifeless one.” She added. “When your father died and you

and your mother out of the mansion, is the moment when the master lose his smiles and will to live.”

“I can’t understand you. Why?” She asks.

“Go and see him, Miss Bella. He really needs you now.” The maid said and told her the name of the

hospital before disconnecting the call.

Isabella felt that she’s going crazy, there’s too much happening in just a day and she can’t take it. First

is with her relationship with Tyron, second is what the head of the housekeepers told her, and the other

one is… She slightly shakes her head and sigh.

Thinking back, her mother didn’t say any bad things about the old Don. She remembers that before her

mother died, she told her not to hate the old Don. She was even scolded by her mother for saying bad

things about him.

There are times that her mother reminded her that the old Don loves her but she has no memories of

him taking good care of her. But thinking back, her memory is hazy after her father’s death.

Don Samuel’s housekeeper is right, there are things that the Don can only give her answers. She will

not let him die without them talking. She hastily packs her clothes; she’s zipping her luggage when

Tyron entered their room.

“It’s good that you packed your things.” He said sternly. “We will go somewhere.” He added and started

packing his things.

“I will not come with you. I will go back to Manila, my grandfather is hospitalized, heart attack.” She

said. “I need to talk to him; I have a lot of questions that only him can only answer.”

“I already asked them to prepare the helicopter, wait for me.” He said.

“Didn’t you hear what I said?” she asks in annoyance.

“I heard you alright!” He answers, frowning. “I received a call earlier and it was all over the news that

the old Don is hospitalized. That is why I already asked them to prepare the helicopter so that you can

go and see him.” He sighed and looks at her. “Look, I know that he did something wrong to you but his

blood is running through your veins.” He said making her shut her mouth. She doesn’t know what to

say but Tyron is right. No matter what, Don Samuel is a part of her.
