The Billionaires Unknown Twins

Billionaires 001

A woman, running away and hiding from the shadow of a person, hides behind her desk, clutching tightly into a picture frame. She cried but know that she couldn’t get away from this madness; she heard it, the screaming of a man, and that’s it for her. She is determined to fight; she doesn't want to throw her precious life willingly; she has a family to take care of, and waiting for her at home, she took a small scissor carefully from her desk and waited for the stranger to come right in.

She heard a step from a sneaker come into her closely, getting much closer, she even does not dare to breathe, she put her hands in her mouth, while putting the picture frame by her side, her tears are falling, her whole body is trembling, and then…

A hand, a strong hand trying to catch her, she screams and then instinctively bites the attacker's hands, she heard a scream, and feels a sensation of blood in her mouth, she injured her attacker. She spits the blood, repeatedly, and then grabs her picture frame. While she wants to run away, she forgot to count on her steps. She looks at the office of Mr. Seymour, and there he is, laying down, bloody all over, and those dead eyes, staring at her.

She cries and cries, trying to run through the door when she saw another shadow in front of the door, there’s another one of them, a man, using a ski mask, and this time, before she could fight her attacker, a hand grabbing her face from behind, and then everything went dark.

Who is the woman?

Let us go back to 6 years ago, looking at a woman named Diane, a-29-years soon to be 30 years old woman, single with a heart of gold. She just wants to have some fun with three of her best friends, so she decides to go with them on a vacation, the vacation that will change her life forever.

“Diane, you do realize that you need tons of bikinis and tank tops. We are going to have a vacation on a tropical island.” Jessica, one of Diane’s best friends, looks at how she just shoveling all of her clothes into her luggage.

“Diane! Do you even hear me?”

Diane, the woman with thick black hair, looked at her friend with a wide grin. “Sorry, Jessica, I am so excited. You guys told me that the tour finally has one available seat for me… Yay!”

Jessica rolled her eyes, trying to contain the excitement of Diane. “Okay, please, could you be not this excited? It’s actually a bit embarrassing, Diane.”

“Boo… Jessica, you should just help me, and why you don’t look so excited as I am?”

Jessica then hugs her. “I am so sorry, Diane, I… I was excited, but please you need to contain yourself, okay?”

Diane, hugging Jessica back and smile. “I know, I am so sorry Diane, I mean, this is the first time, I will finally be able to have some vacation with all of you.”

Jessica then pulls herself from Diane. “Okay, just bring some T-shirt and jeans, and two short dresses, just in case.”

“Affirmative, woman!”

Jessica smiled at her while holding at Diane’s bedroom door, “Shut up, you nerd!”

As soon as she closed the door from the other side, her smile is gone, completely, she goes downstairs, massaging her forehead, when a woman chuckling from the kitchen. Jessica takes a peek and sees a tall and gorgeous brunette talking on the phone.

“Oh, really? She said that?” She chuckles while playing with her hair. “Yeah, she’s upstairs, packing her stuff, Jessica is helping her, I let her handle her.”

Jessica leaning into the threshold, smiling at the lady who’s still giggling, the woman finally sees her. “Okay, Jessica here, see you tomorrow at the airport… Yeah, too bad Jay bails out after paying the down payment.”

The lady turns off her smartphone and stares at Jessica. “How is she?”

“Oh, she is excited alright… Are you sure you want her to join us, Nana?”

“Shut up, Jess, she’s the only people that we know who’s actually available to have a vacation at the last minute.”

“Ugh, I hate it, she is useful sometimes, but now, vacation with us?”

“Psst… She could hear us, come on, let us help her to pack, I don’t want her wearing gaudy clothes when she is hanging out with us.”

“Agreed!”

The two women go upstairs to meet with the enthusiastic Diane.

The following day, the three ladies sitting in the airport waiting for another person, a brown hair and black eyes of men, named Matt, friends of Diane, Jessica, and Nana.

“Matt, you’re late.”

“I am not, Nana, remain calm, the flight is in one hour, we have plenty of time.”

“Yes, but our tour guide need for us to be here one hour ago!”

Diane feels some animosity from Nana towards Matt, she tried to make a peace between them. “Guys, I think it will be better if we just go to Ms. Penny right now.”

Matt looked at her with a strange expression. “Who’s Ms. Penny?”

Jessica's face-palming herself while pulling her luggage away. “The name of our tour guide, Matt.”

Together, they go to the VIP meeting lounge. Inside there is already full of people, 3 older couples and 3 young men, very bored young men. Ms. Penny grins at them, which makes Diane think that she trying so hard not to get mad at them.

“Ah, there you all are, you one hour late from our engagements.”

“About that, Ms. Penny, we feel so sorry, one of our friends has some difficulties getting here.” Says Diane feels so bad for her.

Diane always the sweetest one in the group, she was the only daughter of a professor in a small community college, on her 18th birthday, they had a terrible accident, she lost both of her parents in the accident, leaving her alone, she doesn’t have any relatives, that’s why she always clinging into her friends.

One of the young men, the one with a fit body and kiss suntan, glaring at them, especially Diane. “Seriously woman! just admit it that all of you and this j*rk over there are just not very punctual in commitment!”

“Asher…” One of the older ladies warned the young men, a man named Asher, the lady then smiling warmly at Diane. “I am so sorry, dear, all of us truly understand it.”

Diane, feeling all the sincerity from the lady, smiles back at her and says her thank you. Ms. Penny then takes all of their passports and hastily goes through the immigration. The tour members now had to wait in the VIP lounge. There's an awkward silence for a while, and then Diane comments about the interior.

“Good God, guys, this is not your typical tour, isn’t it?” Ask Diane, still looking around the lounge room.

She is, of course, a frugal woman, always flight in commercials, not even going to a fancy restaurant, she has a healthy amount of savings, and even has a small house, which she owns. Diane even asks Jessica and Nana to move in with her.

“Diane, please, stop that, dear.” Jessica, patting Diane’s hand, with a very large grin. “You’re going to embarrass us.”

“Oh, I am so sorry guys, I just got so excited!”

“Diane!” Nana shouts and even glares at her. “Would you please be classy, even just for a bit?”

Nana is Diane's best friend with a tendency to glare and berate her. Sometimes Diane even asks herself, does Nana really think of her as her best friend?

“Sorry, Nana… I, I need to go to the bathroom.” Diane almost let out tears, while hurrying herself to go to the bathroom inside the VIP lounge.

Diane’s head looking at the floor all the time, her head then bumping into a rock-solid chest, she feels dizzy, almost falls in, but two strong arms prevent her to fall back.

“Hey, are you alright?”

She looks up and sees a pair of two beautiful blue eyes, it is one of the three young men, the one wearing the prim and proper clothes.

“Errr… What?” Diane got bewitched by those blue eyes, with very sharp eyebrows, an exquisite match for his chisel face.

“Are you… Alright?”

The young man now chuckles a bit, trying to hide his amusement.

Diane, embarrassed by her behavior towards him, immediately pulls herself away from the young men. “Yes… yes, I am sorry…”

“Brandon, my name is Brandon, are you sure you’re okay, Ms. Diane?”

“How do you know my name?”

“Your friend, literally screaming your name, earlier.”

“Oh… Yeah, I am so sorry about that, would you please excuse me.”

“Wait!”

Brandon grabs Diane’s arm before she goes inside the lady's room, Diane looks at him when he offers her his handkerchief.

“At least use this, don’t worry you don’t have to give it back to me.”

Brandon walks away after giving his handkerchief to Diane, she feels the softness of the handkerchief and the initial in it, B and S. Diane refresh herself in the ladies room, and then finally going back to the lounge, Nana and Jessica stop talking when they saw Diane’s back, Nana approach her.

“Look, I’m sorry, okay, I got really antsy about this vacation, please forgive me.”

“Don’t worry, already forgive you, and yes, you’re absolutely right, I may be a bit too much.”

Both of them hug it out, Diane and her friends then go back to have a lively conversation, not realizing three pairs of eyes were staring at her.

After like half an hour, Ms. Penny finally called all of them to go inside their private jets, Diane couldn’t even believe her eyes, she will be flying on private jets, a very luxurious tour. Her mouth couldn’t even stop gaping, with her eyes amaze by every structure of the jets.

“Oh, wow, this is something else!”

Diane talked to herself with her eyes savoring every nooks and cranny inside the jets.

“Need some help?”

A sweet voice of a man makes her turn around, what she sees is warm brown eyes with a very attractive smile, it is one of the three young men, the only one that Diane doesn’t have the luxury to know the name yet.

“Yes, thank you so much.”

The young men then took her bag and put it in one of the small compartments beside the designated chair.

“Oh, wow, it looks like this is not your first time flying in a private jet?”

The young men chuckle. “You could say it like that, now, you’re all set.”

“Thank you, may I know your name?”

“Of course, my name is Callum, nice to meet you.” He offers Diane a handshake, she takes his hand and feels a warm feeling from his big and gentle hand.

The Jets fly away, Diane saw Matt walking on her way.

“Hey, so sorry about earlier, you know how Nana was.”

“Of course, it’s Nana, but, why do you have to apologize for her behavior?”

“Oh, nothing particular, you know, because we are all friends, that’s all.”

Diane smiles at Matt, but her mind is full of questions, she excuses herself to go to the lavatory when she encounters Brandon again. She politely smiles at him, but before she goes inside the lavatory, Brandon grabs her arm and whispers at her.

“I don’t think you should trust your friends, so much.”

What is happening? Why does Brandon have to warn Diane about her friends?
