TAMING THE BILLIONAIRE

19

Douglas took his daughter to her walk-in closet and it was also enormous. From the closet is a door that leads to the ensuite and they explore it.  Leaving Bex dumbfounded.  It has a large walk-in shower.  And a beautiful bathtub.  There are cabinets for storage and a towel rack.

"Dad.  This is too much.  I have never seen anything like this before.  Thank you Dad".   She cried and hugged her dad in an appreciating manner.

"You deserve more than that, my love".   He held her chin and looked into her eyes.   If there is anything you don't want or that you want to add.  Just let me know.  And it will be done".   He assured her and his thumb wiped away her tears. 

"Don't think too much my love.  It's just you and I now.  I have made enough money for us.  And I want you to know that when I said money.  I am not talking about billions.  But trillion. So,  spend my money and live the life you want to live.  I will not stop you.  Ok".   He elucidated

"Ok Daddy.  I will try.  I will try to get used to this new life.  Thank you, Daddy".  She hugged him again. 

"OK.  Let me show you around the house".   He gestures to the way out.

They left her floor to check on the other floors in the mansion.  There is no doubt this is a new chapter in Bexley's life.  When she was heartbroken.  Trying to start her life afresh.  A new turnaround hit her. 

Right now she wasn't thinking of her past.  But she is trying to catch up on the new her.  A family she longed for.  A new beginning.  A new future and the truth behind her parent.  Who is her birth mother?   How did she end up in an orphanage home?  What happened to her parent? 

These questions she wants answers to.  But she knew now was not the time to ask her father. 

After the tour of the mansion.  They proceeded to explore the surroundings. They used the Gulf Cart to explore the surroundings. 

The Estate has a lawn tennis court.  A basketball court.  And a Gulf Coast.  The staff quarters are close to the hills. 

It was from this moment that Bexley seized the opportunity to ask her father about her mother.

'Dad?" She asked.

"Yes, dear ". He replied.

"Where is Mom?". She asked. Douglas knew this question would come up, but he was not ready to go into details since he didn't want to ruin her excitement.

"I will answer all your questions, my love. But, not today. All I want you to do is rest and get a good sleep. Tomorrow, we're going shopping ". He informed her and changed the topic.

"Ok, Dad. If you say so". She wasn't ok with his reply. But, she pretended all was ok.

They got back to the mansion.  And Bex was exhausted.  Dinner was served and she ate to her satisfaction.  She ate some stuffed crabs and some grilled prawns with some salad.  There are other dishes she could try.  But she craved seafood.  Which made her to eat a lot of it.  She drank some juice and she was full.

A few clothes were brought for her and a few lady's stuff.  Her dad had promised to take her shopping tomorrow and she could not wait to explore the town tomorrow. 

"I had wanted to ask you.  How come you had a bodyguard and a luxury car to yourself?  Anything I should know? "

After sipping from her juice.  Bex gulped down and sighed.  "My ex got me the car and the bodyguard".    She lightened up

"Your ex you said?  So,  you do have a boyfriend? And a wealthy one at that? ".   He asked

"Yes.  But,  it's all in the past now.  I don't want to talk about it".   She replied.

"Ok, my love.  But,  if you need someone to talk to.  I want you to know that.  I am here for you.  Ok".    He assured her.

She nodded and smiled in response to her dad's assurance.

That discussion brought back memories she thought she had buried.  She is a girl who has been living her life like a boy.  But.  Ever since she met Blake.  He made her feel different.  And for him, she was ready to be the woman. 

To her.  She was not expecting much from him.  But he showed her love and affection.  She loves him, and she is ready to give their relationship a try.  But Blake shattered everything. The hope she had with him.  And that with no reason.
