THE BILLIONAIRE'S SECRET MATE

The day she met Alexander a popular alpha billionaire was the day that changed the story of her life revealing so many secrets cornering her past.

**

"Welcome to Mexico" Clara's best friend Tricia screamed from outside as she ran into the new apartment like she owns it her two hands flips in the air at times she acts crazy like a little girl.

"Thank you so much. Tricia please could you help me place this picture beside the television" Clara hand over her mother's picture to her immediately she walks in which she carefully dropped beside the TV.

"Finally, Clara I am happy that you decided to relocate to Mexico after many years of persuading you" Tricia muttered as she sat down on a chair facing the television.

"Well I have no choice this is the only place I could come" Clara mumbled under her breath while she continues with what she was doing.

Clara Gunner is the only daughter of her mother she doesn't have a father according to what her mother told her that her dad left her at a tender age when she was barely 5 and he got married to another woman because of her wealth. Her mother never showed her father or even talked about him so she never experienced the love of a father.

Well, maybe all men are the same as she thought just like her father.

Clara lost her mother last month so she has no choice but to move into this new town to start a new life afresh and forget about her past. The rape, the torture, and the heartbreak she has to leave all this behind her.

"When will Aria be coming back? I have missed her already and I need to see her" Tricia asked as she picked the remote from the table putting on the television.

"She will be back tomorrow" Clara packed some of the unarranged things off the floor taking them inside the living room. she had moved into this new apartment in the past three days but she didn't have a chance to herself or to clean her house because she have been so busy with work.

Clara works as a waitress in one of the biggest restaurants in Mexico. Today she is having an evening shift at work so the little time she has before then she has decided to use it to tidy her house before she will go see the doctor. Her today's activity is already planned out.

"Oh my God! Clara come out, come see Alexander Walton you need to see him" Tricia screamed from the sitting room while Clara paused for a while before she continue with what she was doing.

"Clara you can't miss beholding this sight please come out" she screamed again.

"Tricia, what going on are you okay?" Clara yelled also from the living room she knows that her friend is a crazy girl but this is getting out of hand.

"Just come out"

Reluctantly Clara leave the things she was doing as she made her way towards the sitting room to see whom her friend is talking about.

She stopped on her track as she stare at the screen before her right now she feel like strangling her best friend how could she be stressing her when she is already stressed out.

"Too bad you came late his video is gone and they might not show him again today" she turns to face Clara giving her a sorry look.

"Who is the person?" Clara asked her hands crossed under her chest in anger as she watch her friend from the corner of her eyes.

"Alexander MacMillan Walton" she turns and faces Clara her eyes sparkling with joy like she is trying to imagine some impossible scene in her head "Gosh Clara you have to see this young billionaire that I just mentioned you will go crazy and beg for a one night stand with him"

"What the f*ck! Tricia are you for real?" Clara rolled her eyes giving Tricia a poker face what could be so special about this so-called guy.

"Clara you should have come out earlier to behold his fine handsome face all girls in Mexico are dying to be with him"

"All girls? but I am not dying to be with him" Clara shrugs her shoulder her eyes not leaving her best friend.

"Well, that's because you didn't know him besides you never have likeness for men but Alexander is different" she turns and switched the television to another channel.

"Even if I should meet your so-called rich billionaire in Mexico I am not gonna ever trip for him" Clara rolled her eyes and she turn around to leave.

"I don't think there is a need for you to have a crush on him because soon he will be getting married to Ella Adelson" immediately Clara heard this her legs remain stuck on the floor at the mention of that name.

"What Ella are you talking about?" she turned around to face Tricia.

"The popular singer that we all know will be getting engaged with him today"

"No way you can't be serious" Clara opened her eyes wide in shock as she walk towards Tricia and she sat down next to her she needed to hear more about the engagement she is a big fan of Ella how could she be so busy that she didn't have an idea that her favorite artist will be getting married soon.

"Well according to what I heard Alexander and Ella have been dating for the past three years although they always break up and come back again after many months I am f*cking happy that my celebrity crush will be getting married to her" Triac screamed holding her hands around her chest like she is the one getting married.

Clara wanted to say something but she pause for a while as she took her time to study Tricia who is now beyond happy like she is the one to be engaged soon.

"How did you get all this information and rumors" the question slip out of Clara's mouth making Trica pause for a while studying her face.

"Have you forgotten who I am? a journalist" she pulled her shoulder high with pride.

"Oh sure," Clara mumbled how could she forget what her friend is aspiring to become.

"Enough of your gossip miss journalist" Clara stood up from the chair as she find her way back inside the room to continue from where she stopped.

************

Alexander holds the golden ring in his hand as he stares at it for a while imagining how perfect it will look on the finger of the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.

He remembered when he met Ella at Walton's family bouquet last three years ago that day still seems like yesterday to him and the love between them keeps increasing each day although they usually have their ups and downs.

Alexander closed the ring box before tucking it back inside his suit pocket.

A slight smile crept on his hardened face which die off immediately as he stare at himself properly and he adjusted his blue tie before taking a last look at his well-perfect figure in the mirror.

He came out of his house and immediately his guard sight him they all bowed to him.

"I won't be needing an escort to follow me today I will be going alone" Alexander informed them before entering his black Mercedes Benz car and he zooms out of his building.

After driving for close to thirty minutes Alexander drives into Ella's compound he parks his car at the parking lodge.

He adjusts his tie properly again for the fifth time and dips his hand inside his pocket before walking majestically inside the building. A smile lingered on his face when he thought of how shocked Ella will be for seeing him at her house at this hour because he never told her that he will be coming he wants the engagement to be a surprise to her.

He walk into the building and was surprised at how everywhere was quiet this is strange Ella's house is always booming with loud music whenever he comes here to check on her.

With his hand still stuck inside his suit pocket, he took to the stairs as he walk steadily on the floor without his footsteps making any sound every part of his body stand on alert as he walk inside the complete silence mansion.

Without knocking on the door he twist the doorknob and pushed the door wide open his eyes landed on two figures on the bed kissing. Ella was kissing a strange man on her bed.

Ella quickly jerk away from the kiss as she stare at Alexander in shock she was not expecting to see him today and he didn't even call her that he will be coming.

"Ella why, why?" was the only thing that came out of his mouth right now he is hurt beyond repair he can't even think straight he only wishes that the Ella he is seeing now is just an illusion maybe he was dreaming but it never a dream because the scene before him didn't fade away.

"Alex you didn't tell me that you were coming" she speaks without feeling remorseful like what she did just now is not a big deal.

"Ella for how long have this been going on?" came his question in a cracked voice as his eyes move from the woman he loved to the strange man lying next to her shirtless.

"Does that even matter now Alex? besides we aren't married yet so I need to have a test of other d*ck before I finally become yours" she shrugged packing her hair up into a bun.

Alexander clenched his hand in a tight fist beside him as he stare at her with furrowed brow he was never expecting those words from her which means she didn't even regret her action.

"I was wrong I thought you are truly for me but I never knew that I am just a fling to you and I am the only one loving here" without any more words he moves toward the door.

On second thought, he stop and turn around his hand holding tight to the ring inside his pocket today which he thought will be his happiest day turned out to be the worst day of his life.

"This thing between us is over" he rasped in a croaky voice before dashing out of the room.

Ella parted her lips open to say a word but she was quick to close them back even if they should break up she have nothing to lose she had already gotten what she needed from him, fame.

Clara sat before the doctor as she watch him write some notes on the paper before him she has come to take her test as usual to know the stage of her heart problem which she have been battling with since she was 15 years old. After she lost her mother her health issue had worsen because she wasn't taking her medication properly and she was eating the type of foods that she shouldn't eat the only thing on her mind then was to just die but if she ends up dying who will look after her five years old daughter.

"Miss Clara after conducting the test on you your heart problem has worsened to the highest level" the doctor broke the news to her as he watch her innocent worried face.

"What should I do now doctor I am ready to take my drugs properly"

"I am sorry miss Clara, you taking your drugs won't be enough anymore at this stage" the doctor paused for a while thinking of the best way to break the most bitter part of the news to her.

"What did you mean doctor" came her cracked voice as she try her best not to think of the worst.

"Your heart problem has now enlarged into coronary Artery disease called CAD and your chances of living are very thin"

Clara's eyes twitch as she watches the doctor with keen interest her hand grip tight to her lap as she pinches it lightly afraid of the bad news that the doctor is about to break.

"Miss Clara you have less than six months to live on earth" the doctor broke the sad but real news to her
