Ruin The Billionaire

Jake.

My mother thought she could ruin my vacation, but instead got hers ruined. She had come to threaten me but got silenced in the best way possible. After she tried to blackmail me with something she knew would destroy me, I did not feel an ounce of love for her. i accepted that there was no point in trying to change her. No amount of love and niceness would lighten her dark heart. I realised that she only cared about herself. I was not going to let her continue to use me to get what she wanted. This was my life and I was in charge of it.

Ashley and I were from swimming when we found Heather standing outside her hotel room, scrolling through her face.

“Where is Mrs. Rylland?” she asked me. “What did you do to her?”

I laughed so hard, throwing my head back. “How pathetic can you get? Better pack your things and return home because I can tell that you will not enjoy this vacation. It’s too bad that the person you called to help you in your evil plans bailed on you.”

“I don’t think Mrs. Rylland would leave just like that. Where is she?”

“You amuse me so much, heather martins. The person you’re talking about is my mother, not yours. What I do with my mother is none of your business.”

“I’m going to talk to the authorities,” she said.

“Go ahead. Don’t come complaining when everyone starts to think you’re crazy.”

“Are you sure she’s not actually crazy?” Ashley said and we both bellowed loud. I wound an arm around Ashley, pulled her close and kissed her beautiful pink lips. “You’re so amazing.”

“So are you,” Ashley said. “Now you’ve got me all hot and bothered. You gotta finish what you started.”

“Sure thing,” I said. I had no intentions of sleeping with Ashley or any other woman apart from Lilith Hellman but I enjoyed the games Ashley and I were playing on heather and my mother. What I loved most were the expressions on their faces.”

“It’s sad, Jake. I’m starting to wonder why I even like you. You’re a miserable jerk.”

Ashley and I laughed out loud again.

“Does a miserable person laugh like this?” Ashley asked.

Heather opened the door and went into her suite. We went to the next door and opened it. Stepping inside, I was relieved that my mother was where we had left her, tied to a chair and looking like she wanted to murder someone. She had tried to move the heavy chair but seemed to have had little success. That metallic chair seemed to be mad of the heaviest metal. Her lips were taped with duct tape.

“Oh my God, your mother is here!” Ashley said as I went to the bedroom to change my clothing. I had not yet told her mother was in the room.

I hated having to do that to my own mother, but a mother who had done all the things my mother had done to me did not deserve any respect. Every time I tried to put her past evil behind, she found more bad things to do. She had disappointed me so many times but I had not got used to the hurt that disappointment always inflicted on me.

When I returned, Ashley was looking very uneasy. Since she did not have a phone, I was sure she had not told anyone.

“What’s wrong?” I asked her. “Don’t tell me you’re feeling bad for a woman you don’t know. I’ll tell you one thing. She is very wicked. What she is going through is nothing compared to what she had put my father and me through. She has ruined other people’s lives too.”

“I don’t think I can stay here, Jake.”

I walked to where she was. “I hope you don’t want to go out there and report this. She’s my mother and I’ll not do anything bad to her. If I wanted, I would have done it already. She knows that too. That’s why she’s very calm. You have nothing to worry about. But if you tell this to anyone, your expensive lifestyle Amy not be the only thing you have to worry about.”

I turned to mother. She looked like she was trying to communicate something.

“I’m leaving,” Ashley said.

I grabbed her wrist. “What is wrong? Did something happen between you and this woman?”

“No,” Ashley said.

I turned to my mother. She was nodding vigorously.

“I need to get to the bottom of this,” I said and went to lock the door.

“Please, Jake. I have something to do right now.”

“I’m sorry but you will have to wait,” I said. I went and ripped the duct tape of my mother’s lips.

“Huh, son. You think your mother is evil but you’re with the devil incarnate.”

“What do you know about her?”

“She’s the one who told me about you and Lilith. I wonder how she knew but she revealed it. Wanted money in exchange for the information but wasn’t too smart.”

I turned to Ashley in stupefied silence. I had thought my mother found out about my relationship from a person she had sent to tail me. To hear that it was Ashley really shocked me.

“It was you,” I said.

No answer. That meant she was guilty.

“How did you know?” I asked her.

“Jake, don’t do this.” She said.

“That girl has been tailing you all along,” my mother said. “What do you expect from a desperate woman like that? That’s why I need to choose a woman for you, Jake. I know women very well and can tell when one is not good for you. All these supermodels are nothing but wh0res.”

“Ashley, I’m still waiting for an explanation. How did you know that Lilly and I were secretly dating?”

“Okay, your mother is right. I had someone follow you. I’m sorry. I know it was a big mistake but I did it because I loved you so much and couldn’t stop myself.”

“You know what? Get out. I can’t deal with all this now.”

Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door.

“It’s the police, please open this door right now.”

What?

“Jake Rylland, we know you’re in there. So, is Mrs. Rylland.”

I turned to Ashley. “Help me. Let’s untie her.”

Ashley and I quickly untied my mother from the chair. I grabbed all the ropes and duct tape strips, went to the bedroom and threw them under the bed before returning. By the time I got back to the room, my mother had opened door.

“What’s the problem, officers?” she asked the fat woman and her tall male colleague.

“We were informed that you were being held here without your consent,” the woman said. “But it looks like everything here is okay.”

My mother left. “Did you know that this is my son’s suite?”

“We heard that your son was the one holding you?” the man said.

Carrie Rylland chuckled. “That’s crazy. My son loves me very much. He would never do something like that to his own mother.”

“Okay. Looks like it was a false alarm. We shall leave now.”Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

“Wait, officers.” I said. “Who raised the alarm, if I may ask?”

“We can’t give you that information,” the woman said.

“Let me guess, Heather Martins next door. Never mind her, she’s jealous that I started dating someone else.”

“Okay,” the woman said.

The officers left immediately. “I’m so proud of that girl,” my mother said, going to unlock the adjoin door. We heard a shuffle of footsteps running away. When the door was opened, heather was seated on the couch pretending to be reading a magazine.

“Hello, everyone.” She said, standing up.

My mother went to the room, giving me the chance to lock the door and collapse on the couch. Now that she was on her feet again, my plans were crushed.

“You need to leave,” I told Ashley.

“Why?”

“My mother is very dangerous,” I told her. “If you’re wise, you better go and pack up your things and leave the island. I don’t want anything bad to happen to you because of me.”

“I can take care of myself, Jake. I have been in terrible situations so many times and managed to get out of them.”

I chuckled. “Well, do as you please. Don’t blame me if anything goes wrong.”

Ashley came and sat next to me. She moved really close and kissed me. I let her kiss me for a while before pushing her away.

“You’re still in love with her, huh?” she said, giving me a sad look.

I nodded. “Yeah.”

“So were you just playing around me?”

I sighed. “Ashley, stop acting like a little girl. You were the one who caused all this when you told my mother about my relationship. You’re not a victim so shut up and leave me alone.”

She stood up. “I love you, Jake. Never forget that.”

Had I been in a better mood, I would have laughed. What a naked lie. My phone began to ring and I went to pick it up.

“Jake!” my mother’s sharp voice permeated through the walls.
