THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

Both Ellie and Kevin moved to their new apartment and they both lived as cat and dog. They both ignored each other’s presence, with Kevin rarely going home. Ellie kept on planning on bringing Kevin down and was waiting for the perfect time to strike at him. The night Ellie found out Kevin had left Ivory at home just to meet up with his lover, Nicole, she also found out other secrets which Kevin had been hiding from her. She had gone through his chats with Nicole, and found out a lot of things. She found out Kevin wasn’t working as an Accountant as he had claimed but he was actually working for Carlos Wordsworth as his bodyguard. She also got to know that, Nicole was actually Carlos’ newly married wife and Kevin was actually having an affair with his boss’ wife. She was mad after getting to know Kevin was working for the family of the man who molested her, all just because of money. She wouldn’t let Kevin get away with deceiving her and hurting her and so, she gathered evidence of Kevin and Nicole’s affair without Kevin’s knowledge. With the evidence, she made up her mind to show up at Carlos’ office and expose Kevin’s dirty secret. She knew it wouldn’t be easy for her to meet up with Carlos, with his position as the Prime Minister and so, she took up stalking Carlos as her new job, looking for the perfect avenue to walk up to him.

It happened that before they moved to Sans Francisco, Kevin had been working for Carlos right before he won the election and became the Prime Minister. He had been cleaning Carlos’ dirt and also doing his dirty works for him, while staying beside him as his bodyguard. Hence, the reason he had been visiting Los Angeles after they moved to Sans Francisco under the pretense of carrying out an official assignment from his work place. He never worked as a driver in Sans Francisco like he claimed, and all was a camouflage to prevent his family from suspecting his engagement with the Wordsworth family.

Nicole was only with Carlos for his money. She never loved him and was in love with his bodyguard, Kevin instead. The first time Kevin set his eyes on her too, he couldn’t take his eyes off her and couldn’t help but to feel lust for her. Kevin only wanted to have a thing with her and no feelings attached but when Nicole confessed her love to him, he couldn’t turn her down as she was rich and was also ready to spend any amount on him. They both wanted each other but they were scared of getting caught by Carlos. When they couldn’t control their lust for each other anymore, they began their affair and were as careful as they could be, to avoid getting caught by Carlos. But seemed like their affair wouldn’t become hidden forever, as Ellie was ready to expose them at any cost.

On one of such days of stalking Carlos, Ellie finally got her chance. Carlos had visited his hospital, Hope for the Living Hospital, along with his convoy. Ellie had trailed behind him in a taxi, watching his every movement. When his car stopped in front of the hospital, Ellie also got down from the taxi. Carlos went inside, while Ellie stood in front of the hospital, with the memories of the past rushing back to her. She remembered the memories of the bad things that had happened to her in that same hospital in the past. She tried walking into the hospital to catch up with Carlos and his convoy, but her legs wouldn’t move. It seemed as if the memories were holding her legs, making it difficult for her to move. She remembered her daughter’s death, which made her clenched her fist. Reminding herself she needed to avenge her daughter’s death and make all Kevin had built collapsed, she found the courage she needed and found herself walking into the hospital confidently. She watched as Carlos moved from one ward to another, greeting the patients like he had done in the past. All these while, Kevin was by his side, protecting him. Ellie kept on waiting for the perfect opportunity; the time Kevin would not be by Carlos’ side and luckily for her, the opportunity came when Ellie least expected.

Ellie saw Kevin whispered something into Carlos’ ear, after which he excused himself. Seeing that Kevin wasn’t there to disrupt her plan, she clung to the evidence she was holding in her hand, and headed to where Carlos was standing. She struggled to make her way to his front and at first, she was stopped by his other security guards but was allowed for her to approach him after Carlos signaled to them to let her come through. Her heart was pounding heavily in her chest as she approached Carlos, but she decided not to give up and give it a go. As she approached him, Carlos felt her face to be familiar and tried placing a finger on where he had seen her before but he couldn’t at that moment. But nevertheless, he had a feeling they had met before.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Hello, Mr. Carlos. It’s nice to finally meet you. I am a huge fan of yours and I have been meaning to meet with you for a long time as I have something to share with you” Ellie said, faking a smile and pretending she had never met Carlos before.

“Hello, Miss. Thank you for being a huge fan of mine but if I may ask, have we ever met before?” Carlos said, looking intently at Ellie.

“I do not think so. This is my first time of meeting with you” Ellie lied, looking around to check if Kevin was nearby. She looked unsettled and restless.

“Okay, if you say so but your face kind of look familiar. Are you sure you are fine?” Carlos asked, when he noticed how restless Ellie was.

“Yes, I am” Ellie responded smiling, with her restlessness becoming more evident.

“You said you wanted to tell me something earlier. May I know what that is?” Carlos asked, looking at his watch, as if he was in a hurry to be somewhere.

“Actually, I want to tell you something about Kevin, your bodyguard” Ellie said, still looking around worriedly.

“Kevin? What about him?” Carlos asked, narrowing his eyes down in suspicion.

“He is actually having an ……” Ellie said, ready to expose Kevin but before she could finish her statement, Kevin who was returning back from the restroom had sighted her from afar, and quickly rushed to cut her short of her statement.

“She is actually my wife, sir. She is a huge fan of yours and has been meaning to meet with you but I didn’t grant her request because I didn’t want to burden you, sir” Kevin butted in, breathing heavily and saving himself from getting exposed. He wrapped his arm around Ellie’s waist, pretending to act all lovey-dovey, which got Ellie angry, making her rolled her eyes.

“Really? I never knew she is your wife. It’s nice to meet you, Mrs. Smith” Carlos said, extending his hand for an handshake.

“It’s nice to meet you too but that’s not why I am here ……..” Ellie said, shaking Mr Carlos’ hand and still wanting to carry on with her plan. Sensing what she was about doing, Kevin quickly cut in again.

“Sir, hope you haven’t forgotten about the appointment you have in an hour’s time? I think you should be on you way right now?” Kevin said, distracting Carlos’ attention.

“That’s right. I should be on my way right now but before I leave, let me quickly wrap up what I am here for. Mrs. Smith, we will meet again” Carlos said, smiling at Ellie and walking away to wrap up the event at the hospital. Ellie clenched her fist seeing that her plan had failed and she yanked Kevin’s hand away from her waist.

“What the hell did you just do? Why did you interrupt me?” Ellie yelled at Kevin, but instead of him to respond, he dragged her to the male restroom. After looking around and making sure the place was safe for them to talk, he decided to confront her.

“What the hell are you doing here? What are you up to?” Kevin yelled at her.

“What? Are you scared now? Do you think I will just sit and let you enjoy your life with your mistress after killing my child?” Ellie yelled back, her eyes bloodshot at Kevin.

“How did you find out I work for Carlos and how did you know he would be here? Have you been trailing him?” Kevin asked her out of curiosity, as he wondered how she had gotten to know a lot about him.

“I went through your phone and I found out you work for the family of the man who assaulted me. How could you? And yes, I have been trailing him and not only him but you and Nicole also. I have gathered a lot of evidence to prove you two’s affair. I wonder what your boss will do, if he finds out you are having an affair with his wife. Don’t you think it will be fun?” Ellie said, smiling hysterically, with her smile widened.

“Wait, you have been watching my movements? So, you came here to expose my secret? Have you gone nut?” Kevin asked, surprised by Ellie’s actions and how defiant she had become.

“Yes, I have. I have gone mad. You threatened to kill me if I make any funny move right? But it seems like you are not aware that I am hellbent on exposing you, even if it means losing my life. You stopped me this time but you won’t be able to stop me next time. Just wait and watch how crazy a mother can be, after losing her daughter” Ellie ranted like a mad woman at Kevin, leaving him dumbfounded and short of words. He never knew Ellie had that side of hers and never knew she could be that crazy. Ellie walked out of the restroom banging the door, while Kevin stood still, dumbfounded and thinking of his next line of action. After a while, he also left the restroom having composed himself and pretending nothing had happened.

Some minutes after they both left, a man who had been in one of the toilets and had overheard their conversations, stepped out, standing in front of the mirror. He washed his hands and after which he adjusted his suit and hair. He looked at himself in the mirror and smiled; the smile that was that of satisfaction and accomplishment.

“Finally got a dirt on him. What a nice reunion” the man said, laughing hysterically, with the sound of his laughter, echoing in the restroom.

Who do you think the man is?
