Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

“Nice meeting you again Bianca.” He said as he smiled, showing of his set of white teeth.

“Landon.”

“Long time no see.” He said. Bianca sighed in frustration. Why’s her luck like this. Who knew she was going to see the one person that she was avoiding right here? Unless…

“Are you stalking me?” She suddenly asked.

“Huh??”

“Well, I find it quite funny that I bumped into you here considering the fact that this is the females’ section unless you’re here with someone.” She said as she eyed him suspiciously.

“Oh… I saw you when you were entering the mall and I wanted to greet you.” He said.

“So you became a stalker??” She asked again making him chuckle.

“I wouldn’t really call that stalking.”

“Well, you did follow me in here or did you not?”

“I did but terming me a stalker, don’t you know that’s really extreme??”

“I can call you whatever I want, and given the situation, you are a stalker so please let me be or I’ll call the police on you.” She warned as she turned her attention back to what she was doing before he came in.

“Wow, I never picture you as a very cold person.”

“That’s because you don’t know me.” She muttered.

“You’re right. I don’t know you but I can still tell one thing…. you’re not who you’re pretending to be.” Those words made her turn to face him.

“What??”

“This cold facade you’re putting on is just an act. You’re not really like this.”

“What are you now, a psychiatrist??”

“I can be one, only if you want me to.” Bianca rolled her eyes in disappointment.

“That’s the lamest pick up line I’ve ever heard.” She said.

“At least I was able to get an expression from you.”

“Yeah, disappointment. Now, shooo…. you’re distracting me.”

“So you do admit that I’m a distraction??” He asked as his smug smile grew.

“What?? Why do you always filter the bad meaning of my words amd just listen to the good ones.”

“Why not? It saves me from on necessary heart break.” He answered.

“But you should also know whem someone is trying to push you away.”

“But you’re not.”

“Haven’t you been listening to the words that have been coming out of my mouth??”

“Those are just words. If you actually don’t want me near you like you claim, you would have left already. You love my presence as much as I do.” Bianca bursted out laughing the moment he said that.

“This is the first time I’m seeing someone so delusional.” She muttered.

“At least, that delusional person was able to put a smile on your face. By the way, you look prettier when you smile.” He whispered. Bianca heart thumped when he said that.

It’s been so long that she had heard a genuine compliment from someone except her father. She had almost forgotten how good it felt.

“What do you want Landon?” She asked.

“You know my answer.”

“Why then??”

“Well, you’re very beautiful and very nice.”

“Nice?? The only thing I’ve been doing since we both met is trying to push you away.”

“And that only brings me back. Afterall, you’re the first girl to resist my charms.”

“You’re charming?? How come I didn’t notice that??” Landon laughed when she said that.

“My point exactly and you still haven’t even given me your number.”

“My number, why should I??”

“I figured since you’re still in the Island, I can just reach out to you to just you know… show you some beautiful places you haven’t been to before.”

“What makes you think that I can’t do that myself.”

“Oh, I know you can’t. You’re obviously a visitor. You know what, you take my number.” He reached for her purse and snatched her phone. Bianca was caught unaware so she couldn’t stop him.

He turned the phone to her face and it opened automatically. After that, he saved his number in her phone and then used it to call his.

“What the hell is wrong with you??” Bianca asked as she angrily snatched back her phone.

“Just call me if you need anything.”

“There’s no way I’m ever going to do that.”

“It doesn’t really matter since I already have your number. I’ll call you later gorgeous.” He said as he waved his phone at her angry face and walked away while ignoring Bianca’s calls.

“Marcus..” Sandy picked up her phone and smiled when she saw the name flashing on the screen. It made Hilary wonder who he was to her but he didn’t voice out his questions.

“I need to pick this call.” She said as she stood up and left him seating alone there. Hillary’s mouth was opened wide in shock. He still couldn’t understand what was going on.

How could she leave while they were in the middle of a conversation?? That made him realize that the Sandy he knew was already over him completely and it broke his heart.

After about five minutes, she returned and started eating like nothing happened. He really wanted to ask about who she was talking to but he couldn’t.

He didn’t think he had a right to know since they were nothing to each other. Throughout the rest of the meal, all that was on his mind was how to get her to say longer but Sandy had other plans.

“I better leave now before my parents get home. Thank you for the meal.” She said as she stood up.

“It was nothing. Come with me, I’ll drive you home.” He offered.

“No need, I brought my car.” She answered.

“Okay, I’ll call you when you get home and we’ll have another date, a real one soon.”

“Sure. Good bye Hillary.” She muttered before leaving.

The moment Sandy entered her car, the could act she was putting on disappeared completely and she screamed out happily. He really asked her out on another date.

He had fallen completely for her acts. So it was this easy to get to him. If she had known, she would have played hard to get in the first place. Well, it doesn’t matter now as her plan was still in motion.

“Hillary, I’ll make sure you fall completely in love with me till there’s no turning back for you.”
