Sold To The Ruthless Billionaire

Chapter 3: The Money Got Stolen

Taking the suitcase along with her, she found a safe place to keep it and went back to school, she couldn't concentrate all morning, thinking about Mr Hart was going to take her to.

Meanwhile three weeks ago at F group which was Mr Hart company, he was having a hard time as some people from the Grafton's company were there with the law enforcement and were taking things and disorganizing everywhere.

He heard the Devil was back and they had stopped all their collaborations with his company, and was going to sue him for breach of contact.

This has made him lose a lot of contracts, companies who were going to sign up with suddenly rejected their offers, businesses cooperations were turned down and their stock prices were going down, Henry Hart was losing his mind!

All this was because of Devlin Grafton fault!

Before Devlin went out of the country, he had managed to make them partners and the two companies were working on a project worth billions of dollars, his company has messed up the project and he has been trying to get it back before Devlin returns and heard of it, but it wasn't working and the Grafton's company had cut them off from the project and given it to another company, but now Devlin was back and he had cutoff all other collaborations with them, and this made most of the companies not to sign a project with them for fear of getting on Devlin's bad side.

Sitting on his chair and thinking hard, he decided to see Devlin and beg him.

He needed to, he was losing a lot of money!

He went to the Grafton's company and told the desk lady he was looking for the vice-chairman, they were going to turn him out for not placing an appointment first when Freddy, Devlin's P.A and his right hand man came down to let him up to Devlin office.

Devlin has ordered to see him!

Mr Hart was sweating seriously and he joined his two hands together to hide his nervousness.

When he entered the office, Devlin was sitting, his sleeves were folded up while he was working, he did not even look up when they entered.

Freddy notified him of Mr Hart presence and that was when he looked up, straight to meet Mr Hart eyes. He took in Mr Hart look and chuckled wickedly.

Henry fell down on his knees, and started pleading with him, he begged Devlin to spare him and promised to do a better job next time.

"Next time" Devlin smirked again.

He looked at Mr Hart "Do you think you have a next time with me" the corners of his mouth was slightly turned up.

"I am sorry sir, it was a slip of tongue, I hope you can give me a chance so I can redeem myself, please I'm begging you, my company is going to be done for if I don't restore it" he pleaded.

By this time Devlin stood up, coming over to stand in front of the kneeling man, with both hands in his pocket, he stared down at Mr Hart with a devilish smile on his face.

"Are you that confident huh to think if I help you, you can make your company back to the way it was" he asked

"Yes sir, I know if you help me my company will grow more"

"Fine I'll help you"

Mr Hart thought he hasn't heard correctly, he glanced up at Devlin but saw he was looking serious.

"How much do you need to get back your company" Devlin asked

Still on his knees Mr Hart replied "5 billion dollars"

"Okay, five billion and you're going to pay back with a 20% interest"

"Yes I'll do that...I promise"

Devlin turn and went back to his seat, he signalled to Freddy who immediately wired the five billion to Mr Hart account.

Mr Hart could not believe it, he was finally relieved. He thanked Devlin so much and was almost to the point of crying. Devlin ignored him and Freddy walked him to the door.

When he was out of the Grafton's company, he entered his car humming a tone, he checked his account and confirmed the money, he even drove to the bank to withdraw the money, putting it in the trunk, he was so happy, knowing his company was going to grow.

Wanting to congratulate himself so much, he had driven to a club ordering a drink and drinking when a lady came and sat opposite him, she was wearing thongs and most of her body was exposed, she glanced at him, standing up and walking towards him, she offered to pour him a drink and he responded, then she started putting her hands on his laps and touching him, by now Mr Hart was losing it and he was getting drunk, he got up and held her waist and she told him to settle her first before they went to any room.

Drunk, Mr Hart told her he doesn't have any cash on him and his five billion was in his car, and he would settle her later. The woman was shocked for a moment but she recovered back, she dragged him to the dancing floor, dancing wildly and running her hands all over his body, until she found what she was looking for, she signalled a man at a table, throwing the keys to towards him and nodding her head.

Twenty minutes later, the man came in smiling like he has won a lottery and throwing the keys back at her. Silently she had left Mr Hart telling him she's going to get more drinks but he never saw her again. He had gone to check her by the bar but she wasn't there, he sat down waiting for her but she never came.

He remembered he had gone to the car and that was when he remembered the money in his trunk, he quickly opened the trunk only to realize it was empty, he cleaned his eyes properly but the money was gone. He fell helpless on the ground not knowing what his fate would be.
