LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Smiles arrived in New York all tired and weak, luckily, Nate and Kate were not at home. They had insisted on staying behind with Grandma Shiley and Grandpa Jimmy, that alone was a big relief.

Smiles cries herself to her room, and slumps on the bed as soon as she sees it. Her silent sob intensifies, she grabs the pillowcase and pulls it to her chest.

This is the time she needs Keane the most, she can’t handle everything by herself. It’s like holding on to the world’s load, unable to keep your balance.

As if God answered her prayers, the door pushed open and Keane emerged from behind. He was dressed in his usual navy blue suit, hair combed to the back.

As soon as Smiles saw him, She rushed and threw herself into his arms. She couldn’t hold on to her cry as it increased.

Keane was taken aback by her sudden hug but he didn’t push her away, he let her hug him as much as she wanted while he stroked her hair lightly before carrying her to bed.

“I love you so much, I’m sorry for hurting you” Smiles confesses.

This is like the million times she is confessing her love for him and telling him how sorry she is but to her, it will never be enough.

Not while she knows he was never there to hurt her, that he was always there to shower her with excess love, passion, and care yet she was too blind to have noticed.

And the person she blindly believed was the one responsible for all her hardship and tears.

“Please don’t… don’t ever let go, don’t get tired of me” She cries, talking in-between her sobs.

Keane could sense something but he didn’t ask and just comforted her. “I will never leave you, you know it. That’s my promise to you” he whispers into her ears, with all truth and honesty.

“What are you going to do to her?” Smiles asked all of a sudden.

Keane raises a brow confused, “who?” He doesn’t understand who she’s talking about.

“Mom, she is… she” Smiles couldn’t bring herself to talk as she cried over her.

“Shush!!!!” Keane pulls her, allowing her to lie her head on his chest. His suit was expensive, but not as compared to his wife’s tears.

Smiles didn’t want to stay quiet, she didn’t want to prolong anything. It’s either she tells him now or never and she will rather let him know than hide her mom’s sins.

“The mastermind behind our unsuccessful wedding, it’s mom… my mom…She planned all of it” Smiles blurt out with so much struggle.

Keane was stunned, not because he didn’t know who really was behind it all but because he wasn’t expecting her to know the truth so soon.

” How did you know? ” He asked.

” I overheard her talking, with Bruce ” Smiles wipe away her nose,” she doesn’t want us being together, I plotted everything. And I was dumb to have thought you never loved me, ”

“It’s ok, don’t fret,” Keane comforts.

“What are you going to do to her? ” Smiles pressed on, eyes stared at him eagerly and pleadingly.

” Do you want me to do something? ” Keane asked instead of answering her question.

Smiles looked confused,” I don’t know,” she said honestly. She really does want her to pay but she can’t bring herself to let her get hurt in the process.

“then let it go, don’t bother about it”Keane tugs the sheet over her body and pulls her into his arms.

He hates seeing her cry, he knows this day will surely come and there is no way he will stop her from shedding tears. But he’s happy he is here with her, giving her the best comfort he will ever give.

He kissed her forehead, caressing her arms.

Being in his arms was everything she needed, and as if being compelled, she found herself drowning in her dreamland.

“I’m sorry!” Keane mutters under his breath. This wasn’t the way he wanted her to know the truth but she’s found out anyway.

He feels guilty for not telling her, even though his reasons were good and not bad.

“I should have told you long ago”.

*At Derrick’s place*

Derrick relaxingly slumps on the sofa, exhausted from work. Things have become so intense and strenuous yet he manages to handle it well.

“I don’t fancy those lines on your face, don’t get old just yet” Lisa spoke from the stares as she climbed down approaching Derrick.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

” I feel like I’m an old grandpa now, I wonder what it will be like when I’m actually old for real,” Derrick chuckles, extending his hands for her.

Lisa happily accepts and sits on his lap.”You don’t expect to see me happy about us growing older, not while I haven’t got the chance to spend with you” she pouts, wrapping her arms around his neck and giving him the puppy dog eyes.

Derrick smiled,” What do you think we can do to spend lots of time together? Anything? ” He asked with a smile in his voice.

Lisa put on a thin face,” maybe, we can start by loving each other ” she proposed, and rubbed her nose against his.

“Even though we’ve been doing that a lot, I don’t mind doing it for the rest of my life. And he kissed her collarbone,” who am I to say otherwise!” His voice sounds all loyal and submissive.

Lisa giggles, enjoying what he’s doing to her.” I wonder what would have become of me if I hadn’t met you” she said thoughtfully, thinking about how they met. She was so shocked after realizing they slept together.

Never in her life would she have thought the person she always ignored would be the same person she would love with everything she’s got, the reason for her happiness.

He completes her in the simplest way ever and she can’t tell how grateful she is.

She leans down and kisses his lips, “I love him so much, and I always will”

Derrick pulls her closer, “I know you do and I know you know just how much I love you too. Together, we are stronger, forever you are and will always be mine,” he said in a whisper and kissed her.

Derrick has never thought he would be this happy in his entire life until he meets Lisa. Even though she was dating Keane, staring at her from afar and seeing her happy makes him even happier. But this right now was a dream come true.

He is willing to claim her for real this time, to bond their love and passion with everlasting vows and promises.

Their sweet moments were interrupted by a certain someone’s voice from behind, following the direction of the voice, Derrick was met with Fiona’s figure staring back at him.
