《The Billionaire's Wish》17-Past and Present
Advertisement
That same night at the beach, Lance and Cassie agreed that she would stay hidden at home until they devised a solution to their problem. A disguise is also needed as a precaution. Lance even flew in his stylist friend from Manila to complete the look. Cassie's black curly hair was straightened and bleached to strawberry blonde. A complete make over was done. Her tanned skin also helped with her disguise as she was very pale when she met Lance.
Even her entire wardrobe was changed and was ordered online. The clothes will be delivered to their penthouse. Yes, their penthouse. Lance felt the need to buy a new one to ensure that no one will know where Cassie is. Also, other people had access to his previous address and that is a risk that Lance doesn't want to take.
On the day of their flight back, Lance ensured that the private plane would land in a secluded part of the airport where their Limo awaits. This is to ward off the paparazzi that were reported to be swarming outside his office because of his scandalous breakup with Lindsay.
Lance was not given a chance to tell Cassie about Lindsay. He was still waiting for the right time, as he does not want to add up to her worries. Actually, he forgot about her and only remembered when they talked about her past with Miguel.
For Lance, everything that concerned Lindsay was irrelevant. All that matters to him was how to protect his Cassie.
"Honey, I said goodbye to Nanay and Tatay. She was still crying when I left her room. She said she does not want to see you go."
"She's such a drama queen babe."
"She's just emotional because she loves you and will miss you."
Lance hugged Cassie as she had been very warm and loving to his yaya/nanny whom they called Nanay.
"I'll just say my goodbye then we'll be off. You can wait by the boat. I think Anselmo is there crying. Haha."
"Go on. Don't be such an ass!" And she swatted his ass for emphasis.
"You'll pay for that!" Lance teasingly promised and then proceed to go to his yaya's room.
"Hahaha. You wish! Hey Anselmo!" And Cassie went to the dock to bid her farewell to her new friend.
"Mam Kassee, magingat po kayo palagi." Take care always. He was actually sniffing and not looking at Cassie to hide his tear filled eyes.
"Thanks Anselmo. I will. You too. Take care ok? And practice on your English so when I return you won't have any more nose bleed."

"Si Mam pani rin samtayms."
"Haha. I learned from the best. Thanks for your friendship Anselmo. Hope to see you again."
"Walang anuman Mam. Alagaan nyo rin po si Ser. Mahal nya po kayo." You're welcome Ma'am, take care of Sir, He loves you.
"I know. And Mahawl ko reen sha."
"Oh come on, stop with the drama. Hey Anselmo! Alagaan mo si Nanay at Mang Pilo ha. Pag may problema tawagan nyo lang ako kaagad. Salamat." Call me whenever you have a problem here. Thank you.
"Ser Lance, don't wori I will." And they shook hands then Lance pulled Anselmo for a brotherly hug.
"Bye for now!" Lance carried Cassie to the boat and they waved their goodbyes.
As their island came out of view, Cassie cannot help but feel sad and scared that they are now leaving their paradise to go into a jungle. A jungle filled with predators and hungry vultures.
They reached California at four in the morning, the new penthouse was not yet ready when they arrived and they had no choice but to go to his old home. Both of them was so tired from the trip especially because of the several make out and made love sessions they did at the private plane.
Because of a slight delay on their flight due to bad weather, Lance's plan to take Cassie to his grandparent's house which is safe and secured while he attends several of his appointments was not possible. He still need to prepare for the meeting and he had no choice but to leave Cassie alone at his penthouse once they settled in from their trip. He assigned a security team to guard her and ensure no one will be able to approach her.
"Stop worrying about me. I will not go anywhere. I will just read a book or finish some of my songs. You even bought me a guitar so I will not be bored."
"Babe, this is the first time that I will be leaving your side. You can't blame me for worrying this much especially since we know someone is out there to take you away from me."
"Such a drama queen like Nanay! hahaha. Hey, stop that!. . ." Lance tickled her as she called him drama queen.
"Promise me you will not go out of this room, do not even open the door. Dial your security's number and they will deal with whoever is outside. If there's a fire or earthquake, please call me first so I know that you went out because you had no choice. Awwww!" Cassie hit his arm before looking at him like he was a five year old kid caught stealing cookies from a jar.

"Richard Lance Montgomery! You're being impossible! I already said I won't leave and will call you if anything happens!"
"Okay okay, no need to be violent about it. I'll miss you so much." Lance hugged her and kissed the top of her newly dyed hair.
"You're such a cry baby sometimes. But I love you nonetheless. I'll miss you too." And she kissed his nose.
Lance's phone rang and they had to let go of their embrace.
"Montgomery. Yes, I'll be down in a minute. Send in the security team. Ensure that no one will go up my floor." The call ended.
"Honey, do I really need to be baby sat by your security team?"
"Babe, they will not go inside this room. They will just stay downstairs and some will monitor the surveillance camera on the hallway of this floor to ensure no one will bother you.
"Okay. If that will make you feel comfortable, I'll bear with it."
"I love you. Please take care while I'm away."
"You'll just be gone for 8 hours. What could possible happen to me on that short time?"
"Just by telling me how long the hours I think I want to back out from the meeting. 8 hours! damn!"
"Hahahaha. You're such a joker. Go! Ill be waiting when you get back. I'll even cook dinner."
"Can't we just order out? Or I'll just bring our food."
"Im really hurt honey, by your insulting words!" Cassie showed her fake hurt face and Lance just laughed.
"I love you so much but I really cannot tolerate you in the kitchen. We'll cook together but please don't do it alone. Please please please? Awwwww!" Cassie swatted his head.
"That's for being an ass. You should be grateful I want to cook for you."
"That hurt! Thank you babe but I will be forever grateful if you just let me handle everything that involves the kitchen."
His phone rang again and Lance groaned out loud and rejected the call.
"Aarrrghh! Can't a man say proper goodbye to his girlfriend?"
"Go on, hurry up so you can get back early. I will have a surprise waiting for your return." She wiggled her eyebrows and bit her lips for emphasis.
"Aaarrrgh! You're going to kill me with your teasing one of these days." And then Lance pulled Cassie and gave her a passionate goodbye kiss that left them both breathless.
"Take care. I love you."
"I love you more."
Lance left and Cassie went to their room, she suddenly felt tired and took a nap. Some time passed and she was woken up by a persistent knock on the door. As she had just woken up, she forgot to check from the peep hole and she also forgot that she was not supposed to open the door.
As she opened the door, she was shocked to see a very gorgeous woman who looks like a model outside the room.
"Hi. Is Lance here?"
"Ahhm, sorry he's not here. Not to be rude but who are you?"
"I'm Lindsay. His fiancée."
"Pardon? I think I misheard you. Wha. . .what is your relationship with my boyfriend?"
"Huh?! Your boyfriend? Well, that's impossible! I'm his fiancée. We were supposed to have our engagement party more than three weeks ago. How can he be your boyfriend?!"
"But. . ." Cassie felt very dizzy all of a sudden. Perhaps because of the pain on her chest upon hearing the woman's claim or the realization that Lance may not be true to her as she was true to him.
"Hey, miss, are you alright?" She heard the woman's voice but she just closed her eyes and held onto the door frame for support.
"I'm his . . ." Cassie was not able to finish her response as she blacked out. Before she lost consciousness, she heard someone shout with a panicked voice. She felt strong arms catch her as her arms lost the fight and she lost her balance.
"Please leave now Ms. Lindsay. You're not supposed to be here. We have strict instructions to remove you from this premises whenever you show up." Ramon, the head of Cassie's security shouted at Lindsay. He was panicked as he saw his boss' new girlfriend lose consciousness. He was still fortunate he managed to catch her on time or else, all hell will break lose from his boss' wrath.
"Who is she? Why is she here?" Lindsay was still surprised that Lance already have a new girlfriend. After all their years together, she never imagined that she will be this easy to replace.
"Ms. Lindsay, you are merely the horrific past, now this girl is his present. So please, kindly leave before I ask the other guards to escort you out of this building." Ramon carried Cassie inside the room and closed the door to Lindsay's face. He was aware of what this model did to their employer. Their employer who will be very mad once he found out what happened this afternoon.
