My Unwanted Billionaire

“You haven’t called me that since I could reach the top of the fridge without jumping”

Mushroom used to be the nickname he called me when I was younger.

“I know, and I was hoping it would remind you that I love you dearly.”

“I never said you don’t love me.”

“I know you didn’t, but I felt I needed to remind you that I do.”

“Why do you need me to remember you love me?”

“I need you to remember so you can forgive me for not listening to you.”

“Do you believe me now that Adeline is not homeless, and she only came back to you because she does not want to be alone”

“Yes, I do, and I am sorry I didn’t listen to you.”

“It’s fine; you don’t have to apologize, and how did you find out she is lying?”

“She sent her driver to come and pick up her things from the house.”

“She has a driver, and she has moved out,” I ask, shocked

“Yes to both of your questions and this time, it would be the last time I will ever believe her and take her back,”

“Promise me that”

“I promise you, my dear niece, who loves me more than anyone in this world, that I would never believe Adeline over you and invite her into our home again.”

“I love you too, and I missed you,” I say, tearing up a little

“Come here,” He says, opening his arms wide for a hug

“Please never let that evil woman come between us again,” I say, hugging him

“I won’t,” He says and pecks my forehead

“I am actually going to miss you, cupcake, but I am happy you made up with Uncle Jack,” Amber says once we release from our hug.

“I will miss living with you too,” I say, with a sad smile.

An hour or so, Uncle Jack and I are back home after getting my things from Amber’s place. Hopefully, since she exposed her own lie this time, Uncle Jack would never take her back when she comes crawling again. I am so happy she will be out of our lives forever, but I can’t help and think it has something to do with Mr. Jason.

They met today at the office, and after lunch, I cleared his schedule for the day because he took the rest of the day off. I have this feeling he must have made her believe he will be there for her, and I know that’s a lie because Mr. Jason is the world’s biggest player. I can’t wait for him to dump her and watch Uncle Jack also reject her. That day would be heavenly for me.

I walk to the living room after putting on my clothes. I just stepped out of the shower.

“What are we having for dinner today Uncle Jack?” I ask and take my seat on the couch in the living room.

“We made drunken Italian noodles,” Uncle Jack says, walking to the living room with two plates in his hands.

“Smells good; I can’t wait to dig in,” I say, smiling and collect one plate from his hand.

“Thank you, and how is work?”

“Fine,” I say and take a bite of my food.

“I know it’s fine, but I am talking about how things are really going with your boss. The whole time you were at Amber’s place, you told me things were fine, and I didn’t push it because I felt you did not feel like talking to me then, but now we are no longer fighting, so you can tell me the truth.”

Even though things were a bit rough between Uncle Jack and me, I made sure to keep him updated with my life, so he won’t worry.

“I am serious, Uncle Jack, everything is actually fine, or rather I am used to it.”

“What do you mean?”

“Mr. Jason is short-tempered and gets angry easily, so it does not faze me anymore.”

“Oh, and does he shout at you a lot.”

“Not really, but once in a while.”

“I wish he won’t, but it’s fine if it’s just once in a while.”

“Yeah”

“I am happy you told me; I can have peace of mind knowing things aren’t too difficult for you at work.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“You worry too much, Uncle Jack,” I tell him while shaking my head

“You are all I have got, kiddo.”

“I know,” I say, smiling.

Later at night, while sleeping, I hear my phone ringing. I wonder who is calling so late. I answer without bothering to check the caller ID because I don’t want to open my eyes. It would make it harder to go back to sleep.

“Hello,” I say once I answer.

“I need you here in 15 minutes, don’t keep me waiting,” The male voice says and hangs up before I can say anything.

Why is Mr. Jason calling me so late at night, or is it morning already? I force my eyes to open and check the time on my phone, and it’s 3 a. m. Why is he calling me by 3 a. m. to come to God knows where? Sometimes I ask myself if I did something horrible to Mr. Jason in our past lives because of how difficult he makes mine.

I call him back to ask him where he wants me to come, but he does not answer. I change out of my Pj’s and into a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt. I don’t bother wearing a bra because my boobs are small, so you won’t really notice, but I still put on a little jacket. I was never blessed in the boob area, but God did a good number on me with my lower regions. I have wide thighs and a big ass. You could call me thick if you want.

I quickly walk out of the house and find a cab to his place. I am guessing he is at his home and since he refused to pick my call. I can only pray I am right.

“Thank you,” I say to the nice cabman who drove me to Mr. Jason’s apartment.

I step out of the taxi after paying him. I walk into Mr. Jason’s apartment complex. I take the elevator to his penthouse, and you would be surprised by the words that come out of his mouth.

“You are late,” Mr. Jason says once I arrive at his house. It’s 3 a. m. in the morning, and you called me to come to you without telling me where, so, of course, I will be late. I wish I could say that but hold my tongue because I don’t want to lose my job. I just stare at him with my sleepy eyes and wait for him to tell me why he needs me. I am too tired and sleepy to even ask him.

“Come with me,” He says and starts walking up the stairs. I follow suit. “Get her out,” He says, pointing to a woman sleeping on a bed I am assuming is his. She is naked under the covers.

“Why,” I ask, confused

“I met her because of you.”

“You met her because of me; who is she?” I can’t see her face from this side of the bed because she faces the other side.

“Check for yourself and be quick; I need to sleep,” He says and opens a door in the room and walks inside. I am guessing it’s the bathroom.

If you need to sleep, kick her out yourself. I want to say, but again I whole my tongue. I have a feeling I am going to be holding my tongue a lot tonight.

I walk over to the other side, and the lady is Adeline. I can’t believe he slept with Adeline the first day they met. I was right about Mr. Jason; he is a player, and he won’t give her what she wants, which makes me happy. A big smile appears on my face as I think about how I will wake her up. I position my mouth closely beside her ear and scream.

“Wake up,” I shout, and I burst out laughing when Adeline jolts up awake and starts looking around confused, wondering what’s going on. I know what I did was childish, but I just couldn’t resist making her suffer a little.

“What’s going on? Why are you here, and why did you shout my name like that” She says once she realizes there is no danger around.

“Because I could and get your things, it’s time to leave.”

“Leave; I am not going anywhere, and why do you think you can tell me to leave,” Adeline says, getting comfortable back on the bed.

“Because I told her to kick you out,” Mr. Jason says before I can speak while walking out of the bathroom.

I take in his appearance, and he looks hot with his towel wrapped around his waist. I can see the v line popping at the edge. I look up and the water dripping on his body makes me feel the need to cross my legs to stop the feeling I am getting down there.

“Eleanor,” Mr. Jason says, staring at me intensively

“Hmmm,” I say, finding it hard to build words out of my mouth the more I stare at his body

“Come”

“Come?” I repeat after him, still trying to remove my mind from his gorgeous body in front of me.

“Yes, come closer,” He says

“Ok,” I say, walking closer to him

Once I am in front of him, he draws me closer to him until I am only a breath away from him.

“Scream,” He says

“What,” I ask, confused with his request

“Scream for me, Eleanor,” He whispers into my ears this time. His topless body close to me makes me bite my lips in nervousness. My body likes him close to me, but my brain does not because he makes me nervous. “Don’t bite your lips, Eleanor, and just scream for me,” He says and gently uses his hands to release my lips from my teeth. The whole time his finger was on my lips, I resist the urge to play the image roaming in my head. I can’t believe my mind even thought of something so dirty.

“What the fuck are you both doing” Adeline yells, and it’s like her voice releases me from an enchantment that Mr. Jason put me under. I take a step back from Mr. Jason as I realize we are too close to each other.

“Shut your mouth and get out of my house,” Mr. Jason says, glaring at Adeline, but once his eyes set back on me, they change and become calm. I know he is bipolar but what the hell? How can someone switch moods like that? “Where was I,” He says and pulls me closer to him again. This time he does not remove his hold around my waist. “Scream Eleanor”

“Ah,” I don’t scream loud because I feel a little awkward screaming into his face.

“Louder and say my name,” He commands, and I do it.

“Mr. Jason,” I scream louder this time. Mr. Jason closes his eyes and looks to be savaging my scream. He opens his eyes and stares at me.

“Beautiful,” Mr. Jason says after releasing a deep sigh. I feel something poking my stomach, and before I can find out what it is, he releases his hold on me.

I walk away from him, wondering what just happened. I even forget what I was supposed to do and leave his apartment as quickly as possible.
