The Billionaire’s Desires

Hillary

“pick up the Fucking phone Hillary …”

“Hilly, what is going on, why aren’t you picking?”

“Bethany, this isn’t funny anymore, you are scaring the shit out of me.

“Pick up the fucking phone goddammit!” Avril yelled into the receiver, dropping several messages into my voicemail. She has been trying to take me out and cheer me up, but I’ve been avoiding her and rejecting her calls. I don’t want to cheer up and hang out with friends, I want to see Nathan, I want to know how he is faring. He has to man up and tell me if he doesn’t want to be with me anymore, he has to let me know so I can move on with my fucking life.

It’s been five days since Nathan left, five fucking days and I haven’t been able to reach him. Our call was interrupted while he was still on the plane, I guess they experienced a turbulence of some sort. I couldn’t reach him after that call and he hasn’t tried to call me either.

I’m itching to show him my new car, it’s so fucking beautiful. I got myself a red Porsche Cayenne Turbo. It’s so cute and I want him to see it, I want to boast to him that I have good taste in cars, but I can’t reach him on phone, his phones are all dead, and that is not supposed to be so. He is supposed to monitor the company from there, he is supposed to keep his phone on always, he is supposed to call me always.

I miss him…

I just don’t know how I can live my life without him. He has shown me so much love these few weeks, it still feels like a dream. I can’t help thinking that he has finally left me for good. Somehow, his family must have found out about our secret marriage, they must have forced him to cut all contact with me. They may have threatened him with something he couldn’t refuse, I’m sure he wouldn’t willingly leave me, he would never abandon me this way, not after all the promises he made to me before he left.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

I’m slowly going insane…

The other day, I drove to their family’s mansion, yeah, I know he said I should not do anything to draw attention to myself, but I just can’t take it anymore, don’t blame me for loving him so much, I simply can’t do without him. I’m getting desperate, I need to know if he’s okay, I just want to hear his voice and know that he is okay, is that too much to ask?

I parked my car around the corner, waiting for someone to step out of the house so I can ask him/her about Nathan. I stepped out of the car, standing a few feet away, waiting patiently for one of the maids or security guards to come out. Their family mansion is built in the middle of the city, uptown. Al the houses in this area are owned by the affluent and famous billionaires in this country. The houses are so gigantic, with gates so high and huge, you would never be able to see anything happening at the other side of the gate, you could only see the huge black gates starting right at you. You could never see anyone loitering about in this part of the city, I’m the only one standing out here, looking so out of place like a freaking lunatic.

I think I have a magnet for bad luck, I was just here waiting for a maid or security guard to come out, but none of them came out, instead, a black SUV drove out, followed by a black Rolls Royce Cullinan, then a second SUV followed behind the Rolls-Royce Cullinan. The cars drove towards my direction and stopped right in front of me, the glass rolling down to show a lady, in her early forties looking so classy and sophisticated in her flawless white gown with Tulle a lace ruffled embroidery on the bust and down part. She is wearing a Blanche hat and a pair of diamond hoops. She eyed me from head to toe, a scowl on her face as she looks at glares at me in disgust,

“Who are you, young lady, and what are you doing in my property?” she asked me squarely, leveling me a stern look.

“I… I… I missed my way ma’am.” I responded. She has a striking resemblance to Nathan, and I know without being told that she is his mother.

“This is private property, are you telling me that you stumbled upon this house by mistake, or are you a lousy reporter searching for a story. Do you know that I could get you arrested for trespassing into my property?” she asked me angrily, raising her voice at me, her eyes as wide as saucers.

“I’m terribly sorry ma’am, it would never happen again, I promise.” I pleaded softly, my eyes looking down at my feet. It’s quite unfortunate that she is the first person coming out of this house since I got here, I never dreamt of meeting her at all, let alone meeting her this way. I wish I could summon the courage to ask her about Nathan, but she already considers me a reporter, asking any further questions about her family could get me into serious trouble, she could actually send me to jail like she threatened and I wouldn’t be able to explain myself or tell the cops how I found myself here.

“Hold it right there, I’m not done talking to you, where do you think you’re going to?” she asked in annoyance when I tried to turn around and leave, causing me to stand still immediately. I turned back to face her again, my eyes coming in contact with her eyes, seeing the hate and disgust in her eyes. I looked down immediately, trying desperately to hide my eyes, avoiding her hateful look.

“I’m sorry ma’am.” I muttered softly, still avoiding her eyes.

“That’s better. Now listen to me and listen very carefully. I do not want to ever see you loitering around this premises, or anywhere close to my family. The next time you are seen within a hundred miles from here, I’ll get you arrested for trespassing. Now get the hell out of here, go back to the slums where you come from.” She let out in disgust, eyeing me from head to toe once more. A lone tear slid down my cheeks as I turned and headed back to my car, driving off in shame.

Dear God,

Where is Nathan right now?

If he were here, I would not be forced to deal with his bitch of a mother who carries herself like a freaking god. She hates me so much, and she doesn’t even know about my relationship with Nathan. I shudder to think of how she would react when she learns that I’m secretly married to her son, she would go insane with rage, she could tear me into shreds like a fucking beast even.

I kept thinking about all this as I drove back home. Who would have thought that my whole life would take on a drastic turn just within a few days. I thought I had a perfect life, I thought my life was now going smoothly, now I don’t even know what my life has become, I have no idea how to move on with my life. There is no me without him, I need him in my life, I need him to survive, I simply can’t go on without him.

Wait,

Something is wrong.

I don’t know if I’m just hallucinating or what, but I think I am being followed. There is a black Range Rover jeep following me. I saw the same car following me when I left the estate where Nathan and I used to stay in. I never thought much into it until now, I was too worried to think about my surroundings, I did not even let the security guards to come along with me. All I had in my mind, is Nathan. I miss him and I wanted to know what is happening with him, I did not pay too much attention to my surroundings earlier, but now, I have to find out if that car is truly following me, or maybe it is just a coincidence. I could be imagining things, you know. I could just be paranoid for no just reason.

I stepped on the gas pedal, increasing my speed, zooming off, dodging and maneuvering through cars.  Just like I thought, they increased their speed limit also, following closely behind me, trying to overtake me. I kept looking at the rearview mirror, trying to see who was inside that car. I’ve never offended anyone, never. I can’t think of anyone that could try to hurt me this way. Could it be Nathan’s mom?

She was pretty pissed when she caught me hanging around their mansion earlier. Could it be that she regrets letting me off so easy and now she has sent her goons to come after me and kill me off? No, I don’t think it’s her. She only met me a few hours ago, but this car has been trailing me all fucking day. It can’t be her, it’s got to be someone else, but who could it be?” I kept asking myself as I sped towards our estate, praying that I get through the big gate before they could catch up with me.

With shaky hands, I picked up my phone, dialing Avril’s number. I’ve been ignoring her calls, but right now, I can’t afford to keep silent anymore, someone needs to know exactly what is going on here, and as it is, I have no other friend or family, but her. She may not be able to help me right now, but she could offer moral support and she could tell me what I should do, I’m so confused right now, it’s like my head is about to explode.

“Where the hell have you been Hills, you scared the shot out of me.” She yelled into the receiver, sounding so furious.

“I’m fine Avi, but someone is following me. There’s this car behind me, I can’t see who it is Avi, I’m so scared, I’m so scared. It’s been following me all day, I have no idea who it is. I’m trying to drive back home, but it’s fucking chasing me, I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what to… I…

“Calm down Hilly, I’m trying to understand what is going on here. There is a black Range Rover parked outside our apartment for the past two days. That’s why I’ve been trying to reach you, I don’t know what is happening Hills. I’ve been watching them through the window and they keep looking towards our flat. I thought it was just a random stranger that is here for business, but now that you are being trailed, I really don’t think it’s a coincidence. They are here for me as well, they have not taken their eyes off this apartment, Like right now, they are…

Oh No…

“What?

What’s Oh No.

What’s happening Avi, what are they doing, why did you stop talking, what the hell is going on there, who are these people?

Come on Avril, you have to take to me, I’m fucking freaking out right now!” I yelled into the receiver.

“I can’t talk Hills, I have to get the hell out of this house. The guys, they… they caught me looking and they saw me talking on the phone, now they are coming to get me… They are coming Hills, I don’t know what to do, what am I going to do?” she asked hysterically. I can’t believe that I had called her to help me get out of this situation, now the tables have been turned and I’m now the one helping her. This is all so crazy.

“Calm down Avril, we need to calm down and think straight if we want to get out of this situation. I’m getting close to the estate, they won’t be able to follow me in, they’ll have to turn back at the gate. But you Avril, you have to leave that house. Pack only the important stuff, get down through the laundry shafts, but first, you need to create a distraction. You can just pull the fire alarm and create a panic in the building, it could distract them a little and give you enough time to get out of there.” I told her hurriedly.

“Where do I go from here Hills, if I come to you, I could be caught before I even get to the gate. Who could be torturing us this way, who did we offend?” she asked me.

“We can figure it out later, Avi. Right now I need you to get your ass out of that building, right now.” I yelled at her, ending our call immediately so she could act faster and leave the building. Who could be doing this to us, did we offend someone?”
