Billionaire falls in love with a homeless man unaware he is a CEO looking for true love #folktales

Rebecca sat on the edge of her bed holding the sparkling diamond ring in her hand the light from her bedside lamp made it glimmer beautifully but her heart was still filled with confusion who could have bought such an extravagant gift Christopher was equally puzzled and that made things even more mysterious as she sat there lost in thought her phone rang she glanced at the screen it was her mother with a sigh she picked up hello Mom Rebecca my dear her mother warm voice filled the room how are you doing my love I'm fine Mom just

thinking about some things Rebecca replied carefully not wanting to bring up the ring yet her mother chuckled I know you're thinking about that beautiful ring that's why I called Rebecca froze wait mom how do you know about the ring well I was the one who paid for it her mother said proudly I have been saving for years my dear I always told myself the day my daughter finds someone special to her heart I will buy her the most beautiful ring to show her how proud I am Rebecca's jaw dropped and she sat up straighter what

you bought the ring Mom are you serious how did you even know we were shopping for one her mother laughed softly Rebecca you think I don't know you you may not have told me outright but I can tell from the way you talk about this Christopher Whenever I Call there's a glow in your voice even though I haven't met him I just know he's the one for you so when I saw saw a chance to do something special for my daughter I took it Rebecca was stunned Mom I don't even know what to say but

I haven't told you that we're getting married why would you assume her mother cut her off with a knowing laugh ah Rebecca my child a mother knows her daughter's heart the way you talk about him the way you defend him when I ask about him it's clear he's special to you whether you've admitted it to yourself or not you love him and I'm sure he loves you too Rebecca's eyes softened and she felt a lump form in her throat mom you never cease to amaze me I I don't know what to say thank you so

much for the ring it's beautiful I love it her mother's voice was filled with joy that's all I wanted to hear and remember Rebecca this is your life don't be afraid to follow your heart don't let anything or anyone stop you as Rebecca hung up she stared at the ring again her emotions swirling her mother's gesture touched her deeply but it also added weight to the growing feelings she had for Christopher she sighed and lay back on the bed clutching the ring to her chest mom you really do amaze me she whispered to herself a

small smile forming on her lips it was a sunny morning and Christopher was enjoying the peaceful Silence of the house when the doorbell rang he wasn't expecting anyone so he hesitated for a moment before walking to the door when he opened it he was surprised to see Tasha standing there dressed in an elegant outfit and wearing a wide smile hi Christopher Tasha greeted her tone unusually sweet hello Christopher replied cautiously Rebecca isn't home shek at work I know Tasha said stepping inside without waiting for an invitation I came to see you not Rebecca Christopher frowned

slightly unsure of what to make of her sudden visit you came to see me why Tasha chuckled flipping her long hair over her shoulder as she walked further into the living room Christopher let's not beat around the bush you're a handsome man and I like you Christopher's eyebrows shot up in surprise you like me I'm sorry Tasha but weren't you the one who said you could never marry someone like me I overheard you clearly the other day Tasha waved dismissively as though brushing off her own words oh that I wasn't serious people say things they

don't mean all the time besides your different you're too handsome for Rebecca Christopher folded his arms his expression hardening what's that supposed to mean Tasha smiled slightly taking a step closer to him it means you deserve better look Rebecca is nice but she's not on your level she's too busy with work too local she doesn't know how to have fun me I'm everything she's not I come from a wealthy family just like her and I can take care of you better than she ever could Christopher stared at her in disbelief then shook his head Tasha

I think you have misunderstood something Rebecca is the one who gave me a chance when the whole world looked down on me she didn't care about my past or where I came from she saw the person I am not what I have or don't have that's something money can't buy Tasha's smile faded but she quickly recovered come on Christopher let's not pretend you're just staying here because of this fake engagement thing it's not like you love her why waste your time when you could be with someone like me Christopher took a deep breath his patience

wearing thin Tasha let me make this clear even if Rebecca and I weren't pretending I still wouldn't choose you you're shallow and disrespectful if you can talk about your own friend like this behind her back how could I ever trust you Tasha's face turned red with embarrassment and anger you'll regret this Christopher when Rebecca gets tired of you don't come running to me Christopher stood his ground I think it's time for you to leave Tasha without another word Tasha stormed out of the house slamming the door behind her Christopher sighed and sat down on the

couch running a hand through his hair I can't believe her he muttered to himself Rebecca deserves better friends than that Rebecca was in her office going through some documents when her phone buzzed it was her mother calling she smiled kn knowing her mother probably had something amusing to say hello Mom Rebecca answered cheerfully Rebecca my dear how are you her mother's warm voice came through I'm fine mom how about you I'm doing well but I was just thinking you haven't told me much about Christopher what does he do for a living I mean you found

such a fine man and I'm curious her mother asked her tone filled with excitement Rebecca froze for a second her mind racing she hadn't expected this question oh Mom Christopher is very busy with his work she said trying to deflect the question her mother wasn't satisfied busy with what exactly what's his profession Rebecca hesitated she couldn't possibly tell her mother the truth about Christopher well uh he's the CEO of a very big company she lied quickly her heart pounding her mother sounded even more impressed a CEO that's wonderful what kind of company does he run

Rebecca's Palms began to sweat she hadn't thought this far ahead it's a it's a tech company mom you know software and stuff a tech company that's marvelous I've always wanted you to end up with someone successful her mother said her voice full of Pride I can't wait to meet my son-in-law Rebecca forced a laugh soon Mom very soon after the call ended Rebecca leaned back in her chair and sighed deeply what have I gotten myself into she muttered shaking her head meanwhile at her mother's house the phone rang again her mother picked it up and

to her surprise it was John good afternoon ma John greeted his tone overly polite good afternoon who is this Rebecca's mother asked slightly confused this is John I'm calling because I think you need to know the truth about Rebecca and her so-called fiance he said smugly Rebecca's mother frowned what do you mean what truth JK's voice was full of malice as he replied that man she's with Christopher is not who you think he is he's not a CEO or anything close to it he's just a poor beggar she picked up off the streets she's lying

to you Ma her mother's mouth dropped open a beggar no that can't be true my Rebecca would never do such a thing ask her yourself if you think I'm lying John said his voice dripping with satisfaction Rebecca's mother ended the call her hands trembling lightly this can't be true she whispered to herself she quickly sent Rebecca a text message Rebecca come to my house this weekend we need to talk back at her office Rebecca saw the message and felt her stomach twist into knots she had a feeling this weekend was going to be far from

Pleasant Rebecca walked into her home her mind still replaying the strange text her mother had sent she was barely through the door when Christopher approached her looking concerned rea Rebecca we need to talk Christopher said his tone serious Rebecca raised an eyebrow what is it Christopher sighed Tasha came by earlier today while you were at work Rebecca immediately frowned what does she want now and why does she keep showing up here uninvited she said she knew you weren't home Christopher began cautiously she started saying all kinds of things she told me she liked me and

that she's wealthier than you she claimed she's more fun to be with and tried to convince me you weren't good enough for me Rebecca's eyes widened in shock then narrowed in Anger she said all that yes Christopher said I told her I wasn't interested and that she should leave she looked embarrassed and left angrily Rebecca was Furious that snake I can't believe she would stoop so low after everything I've done for her and now she has the audacity to come here and say those things to you she began pacing the room Christopher watched her calmly

Rebecca I think you should calm down she's not worth your energy Rebecca stopped pacing and turned to him calm down you don't understand Christopher Tasha doesn't take rejection lightly she's vindictive I wouldn't be surprised if she's already gone behind my back to cause trouble what do you mean Christopher asked curious Rebecca sighed deeply rubbing her temples my mother sent me a message earlier today asking me to come over this weekend she sound sounded urgent like she knows something she shouldn't what if Tasha is behind it what if she's gone to my mother and said something

to sabotage us Christopher frowned that's a big assumption Rebecca are you sure Tasha would go that far Rebecca scoffed oh I know her too well she's Petty and thrives on creating drama if she's the one behind this I promise you Christopher she will regret it she will wish she never crossed paths with me Christopher placed a hand on her shoulder his voice calm and steady Rebecca listen to me I understand you're upset but let's not jump to conclusions for now go to your mother's house this weekend and hear what she has to say don't accuse

Tasha until you have proof Rebecca crossed her arms her anger still simmering you're right I'll go and see what's going on but if I find out Tasha is involved our so-called friendship is over she'll know what it feels like to mess with Rebecca Christopher smiled gently just be careful okay sometimes it's better to stay away from people like her altogether Rebecca nodded you're right I'm done with her for now I'll focus on whatever my mother wants to discuss but believe me if Tasha is behind this she'll regret ever opening her mouth Christopher chuckled softly pulling

her into a comforting hug you're a strong woman Rebecca you'll handle this as they sat together Rebecca's mind raced she couldn't shake the feeling that Tasha was somehow involved Rebecca stood in the kitchen staring at the ingredients on the counter she was supposed to be deciding what to cook for dinner but her mind kept drifting back to what Christopher had told her earlier Tasha's audacity left a bitter taste in her mouth and she couldn't shake the anger bubbling within her unable to contain herself any longer Rebecca grabbed her phone and scrolled to Tasha's number she

hesitated for a moment before hitting the call button the phone rang twice before Tasha picked up her voice cheerful Rebecca what's up girl Rebecca didn't waste time with pleasantries Tasha I just want to know one thing did you or did you not come to my house to hit on Christopher there was a brief pause before Tasha laughed nervously what Rebecca where's this coming from Tasha don't play games with me Christopher told me everything you came here said all sorts of nonsense about me and even tried to convince him to leave me for you is that

true or not Tasha sighed dramatically oh Rebecca you're overreacting it's not what you think then what is it Tasha Rebecca demanded her patience wearing thin fine Tasha admitted I went to your house but it wasn't serious I was just testing him Rebecca's jaw dropped testing him what do you mean testing him Tasha's tone turned defensive you talk about Christopher so much Rebecca I just wanted to see if he's really worth all the hype I mean you're acting like he's the best thing that's ever happened to you I was curious that's all Rebecca's grip on the

phone tightened curious Tasha do you even hear yourself you came into my home insulted me behind my back and tried to flirt with Christopher all because you were curious how dare you Rebecca you're blowing this out of proportion Tasha said dismissively it was harmless and honestly you're too sensitive sensitive Rebecca's voice Rose Tasha you crossed a line you disrespected me my relationship and my home you had no right to do what you did and for what to satisfy your so-called curiosity Tasha sighed again her tone bored oh come on Rebecca don't be so dramatic it's

not like he's really your boyfriend anyway Rebecca's heart pounded but she kept her voice steady you know what Tasha I've had enough of you this isn't the first time you've shown me who you really are but it will be the last stay away from me my life and my relationship we're done do you hear me done Rebecca don't be ridiculous Rebecca didn't let her finish goodbye Tasha she said coldly hanging up the phone with finality she stood there for a moment staring at the phone in her hand her chest rising and falling with anger how

had she let someone like Tasha stay in her life for so long Christopher walked into the kitchen just there noticing the stormy look on her face is everything okay Rebecca took a deep breath and nodded it is now I just ended a toxic friendship that should have ended a long time ago Christopher walked closer placing a comforting hand on her shoulder good for you Rebecca you don't need people like that in your life Rebecca nodded feeling a sense of relief wash over her you're right I'm done letting people like Tasha bring me down from now

on I'm focusing on what really matters Christopher smiled and what matters Rebecca looked at him her expression softening the people who truly care about me the weekend came and Rebecca arrived at her mother's house her heart pounding as if it were about to LEAP out of her chest she knew the conversation ahead wouldn't be easy her mother was waiting for her in the living room arms crossed an expression of disappointment etched on her face Rebecca sat down trying to avoid her mother's intense gaze hi Mom she said cautiously forcing a smile her mother didn't return

the smile Rebecca she began sternly why did you lie to me about Christopher Rebecca's heart sank mom I can explain explain her mother interrupted so you paid him to pretend to be your fiance just to fool me that's bad my daughter really bad Rebecca lowered her head ashamed mom I didn't mean for it to go this far the pressure was just too much you kept insisting I find someone first it was just an arrangement but she hesitated her voice softening now I'm in love with him her mother's expression softened slightly you're in love with him

Rebecca nodded yes Mom he's kind honest and he makes me happy I know it started off wrong but my feelings for him are real her mother sighed I understand the pressure I put on you but you should have ignored me if it was too much Rebecca looked up a small smile tugging at her lips mother ignore you don't you know how stubborn you can be you wouldn't have let me breathe until I introduced someone her mother couldn't help but laugh at that well you're not wrong if you're truly happy with Christopher then I don't mind

his status anymore what matters is your happiness we can make Christopher into whatever we want him to be if he loves you and is willing to grow then that's all I care about Rebecca's eyes w widened in Surprise really Mom Mrs Phillips nodded really bring my son-in-law to see me soon Rebecca blinked stunned son-in-law already mom he hasn't even proposed yet her mother laughed oh don't worry he will I can feel it Rebecca couldn't stop smiling as she hugged her mother tightly thank you Mom you have no idea how much this means to me when

she got home Rebecca wasted no time sharing the good news with Christopher guess what she exclaimed practically bursting with excitement Christopher raised an eyebrow what happened Rebecca smiled my mom said she doesn't care about your status anymore she just wants me to be happy and she hesitated for dramatic effect she called you her son-in-law Christopher laughed his deep voice filling the room son-in-law huh that's a big promotion Rebecca nodded I know right you're moving up in the world Christopher looked thoughtful for a moment before a mischievous smile spread across his face he got down on

one knee pulling a small box from his pocket Rebecca gasped her hands flying to her mouth Christopher what are you doing he opened the box revealing a beautiful engagement ring Rebecca will you marry me he asked his voice filled with emotion Rebecca blinked stunned wait did my mom put you up to this Christopher laughed no she didn't but hearing that she's on our side gave me the courage to do what I've wanted to do for a while now so what do you say tears filled Rebecca's eyes as she nodded yes Christopher I'll marry you Christopher

slipped the ring onto her finger and stood up pulling her into a warm embrace I promise to make you happy Rebecca Rebecca smiled through her tears you already do Christopher you already do the couple spent the rest of the evening celebrating dreaming of their future together for the first time in a long time Rebecca felt like everything was falling into place and this time it was no longer an act it was real a few months later Rebecca and Christopher stood hand in hand exchanging vows in front of friends family and well-wishers the ceremony was beautiful

filled with laughter and tears of joy Christopher dressed in a sharp suit couldn't take his eyes off Rebecca who looked radiant in her elegant gown as they sealed their love with a kiss Rebecca's mother clapped the loudest her heart bursting with pride the couple's Journey from a chance encounter to this magical moment was nothing short of a fairy tale two years later Christopher was no longer The Humble man who once roamed the streets with Rebecca's unwavering support and her mother's guidance he had transformed into a confident and successful businessman the CEO of a thriving logistics
