The Billionaire's Adopted

“Alana is sweet and cheerful. His mother is the single most important person in his life. He grew up with a simple life on a beautiful island. Until his mother died, someone suddenly showed up and wanted to adopt him and promised to send him to school in the city so he agreed to come here. He doesn't know what he will do and what kind of life he will face but with his mother's wishes for him to finish his education, he will make it happen. ~ ~ ~ Due to a scandal involving one of Roman's business partners, he and his businesses are affected. So it agreed to pay off all debts and fix other problems it had caused. But unfortunately, it didn't give a single penny. He was so surprised that he offered him a 'thing' in return. It's not something because it pays him but his own son. >>CHAPTER 1<< [ALANA] He ran back to his house. He had just bought medicine for his sick mother and he needed to get home immediately so she could take it. Although he is worried about his mother's condition, he is still thankful that even though their state is poor, someone helps them with their daily expenses. All his life, the beautiful island has surrounded him. He never once thought of leaving here because the place is so beautiful, especially the sea. No matter where he goes, he will never forget the beauty of this place. His mother is sick. He is weak and sometimes has asthma attacks. He has no job and is in bed all day. At the age of seventeen, he only finished school until grade six because he had to watch over his mother, also help her with her needs and household chores. Even if their situation is like this, there are good people who help them. Someone sends them food, household necessities as well as money every month. His mother said that the parcels for them came from their distant relatives. He also wants to help or find a job but his mom is against him doing that. Fortunately, he was allowed to help his mother's acquaintance and friend, Aling Martha. It has its own calendar. Sometimes, he was there to help and gave him money and food. She is kind and this is also the person she considered her friend and second mother. This is the life he grew up with, he is content. Quiet, simple, and he still lives in this beautiful place. "Mom, I'm here!" he took off his slippers and ran into the room where his mother was. "I brought your medicine, Mama." "Thank you. Please help me open, Alana." He immediately opened the medicines he bought. It was too much and he didn't know how his Mama could drink it. He gave her the medicines and a glass of water. He is worried about his Mom because it's not like it used to be that if she took medicine right away, she would feel better but now, she's always in bed and pale. "Thank you, son." "Mama, are you sure you're feeling good? You're still pale, aren't you?" "I'm fine. I've taken medicine and I'll feel better soon." "Shall we go to the hospital to see how you are doing?" It shook its head. "Don't. We'll have a hard time getting out of the city. By the way, are you going to Aling Martha later?" "Yes. I'm going there to help with the reception." Aling Martha was hired as a caterer for her son's wedding. "It's good that Aling Martha's business is growing and she will even be the caterer at her daughter's wedding." "Yes, yes. Mama, Aling Martha said she would make me a flower girl." He has good news here. It was happy. "Wow! I'm sure you were the best flower girl at the wedding." "Yes! I'm your heir, right!" He fixed his red hair. "Oh, time has passed so quickly. My daughter is now a young woman. It seems like only yesterday that I was always carrying you around to live." "Mom, why are you still saying that? It's better, you rest first and I'll cook our lunch." He helped her lie down on the bed and placed the medicine and water next to her. This is what his Mama always says when she says they need to go to the hospital. He doesn't know why he doesn't want to see a doctor. Totally, someone helps both of them for their needs, he is even more worried about this situation. Hopefully later, it will feel better. [ALANA] He finished the housework first. Then she said goodbye to her mother who was going to Aling Martha to help with the decorations for the reception. His daughter's wedding reception will be held at a small resort. He went inside and looked for Aling Martha. He went to the back of the house and it was there. "Which Mar, I'm here!" "It's good that you were early, Alana. Come and help me get the curtains." "Yes!" They went to a large venue and pulled back the curtains in the stock room. "Since it's been piled here for so long, it's turning yellow. Let's go back to the house to wash them right away." He followed her with the curtains. "My daughter is getting married. I thought I would never see my daughter walk down the altar wearing a wedding gown." He said this while washing. "Yes,”
