The Billionaire's Downfall

Chapter One: The Task

"Big sis, is okay, if there is nothing to eat, I can stay hungry "Damien, my little brother muttered and immediately he did, his stomach grumbled loudly.

I opened the cupboards one by one praying silently that there was food left, even if it is just a little bite, my head dropped in disappointment when I saw that it was dusty and empty.

"Damien, I....I am so sorry, I can't take care of you, I am just useless, I can't just stand there and watch you starve, it would affect and endanger your health" I said, no, I wouldn’t let him starve with his condition.

"But big sis, am okay “Damien said biting his lower lip, that was what Damien do anytime he is lying.

That word that came out from his mouth Am okay, no matter how I tried to forget it and put positive thoughts into my brain, I knew that he wasn't okay, Damien knew that too.

"Wait here and rest" I mumbled and pat his head gently.

"I must get food for you, okay? Just wait a little bit, I will be right back!" I added and walked out of the small house which looked more like a cottage.

I clenched my fist around my collar as I thought of how I was going to get money to take care of my brother? To pay for his surgery. just how?

I stopped walking when my eyes settled on a signboard, it was a brothel, I stared at it for a while before walking towards it, I opened the door and closed the door with my foot before walking in.

I bit my lower lips hard when I saw what was going on inside, I covered my mouth with my hands because I suddenly felt like puking.

The place was very large; the lights were dim except from the stage which had two spotlights pointing at the lady who was twisting and pressing her naked body against the pole while the men hooted and hailed.

I moved back slowly, no, this wasn't a place for someone like me, I needed to go back to find food for my brother not here.

"Watch it Benny “A hoarse manly voice muttered immediately my back bumped into someone's chest.

"Oh...am so sorry sir, am so sorry" I turned towards the guy and bowed my head a little but then it knocked into my brain, how did this guy know my name?

my eyes widened in horror as the thoughts crossed my head, was someone stalking or spying on me? Because as I could remember I have no family except my brother so no one else know my name.

Just by thinking about it, I felt color drain from my face in fear.

"I gotta go “I managed to say and rushed towards the door but I wasn’t fast enough because I was pulled towards him and pinned to the wall.

"Not so fast little Benny, where do you think you’re going to? “He asked, one could tell that he wasn't a good person or could tell that he didn't have any good intention at all.

"H... I. How did you know my n..a...me? “I stammered in fear.

"How I know your name isn't the question, the question is what do I want? “He said leaving me and sitting down on a black seat.

I knew that even if I try running again, he would still catch me and the fact that I couldn’t call for help because of the loud cheering of the huge crowd.

"Okay, what did you want? “I asked, my lips shaking and my body shivering in fear, I wasn't like those bad assed sassy female lead in some stories, in fact I was the opposite.

I am an innocent, beautiful, kind and weak little sheep who couldn't even hurt a fly.

"I know that you came here to sell yourself for money to feed your brother “He said pouring vodka into a glass.

"I would never do that!!"I said, that wasn't my intention at all, I have never entered a brothel nor a club before so I wanted to see how it looked like not selling myself....that would never happen!

"Still lying to yourself? Anyways since you need a job that badly, I have an offer that would make you earn a lot “He said gulping one glass in a goal before pouring more into the glass.

"I don't need your offer! “I rejected immediately, I didn’t want to trust him because if he really wanted to give me a job that would make me earn a lot then it would surely be a very dirty job.

"Little Benny, I really hate when people refuse me but I got an advice for you “He paused and a smirk formed on his face.

"Don't make me use violence “His eyes glistened evilly and that scared the creep out of me as I trembled more.

"Wh... which job? “I asked and he stood up and walked towards me before placing his hand on my head and Pattee my head.

"Good girl “He muttered with a smirk.

"It is just a simple job; all you have to do is to apply as an assistant or secretary to KING DONOVAN in the Donovan milling's company......

"But why me? There are a lot of girls who are good at being his secretary but am not done with my education, I don't have experience “I said.

"You’re the only one who could do this, by the ways, you have the looks that...."He paused and placed his cold hand under my cheeks making me to drag my foot from him.

"Could melt any guy's heart, no matter how cold or strong hearted the person is “He added.

"I want you to apply as his secretary then when you get the job, I want you to make him fall for you and.......if he did, break his heart into million pieces, being his secretary you have access to some of his personal files...... bring his company down into the dust!!"He muttered and the smirk on his face widened.

"Am not doing this for you!!, Go find someone else!!"I half-yelled and began to walk away.

"You will really regret ever refusing me “He said and gulped the whole content from the glass.

★★★★★

Immediately I was outside the brothel, I took a breath in calming my racing heart.

I needed to be careful next time to not run into a guy as dangerous as that.

Still in deep thoughts I felt something strong under my foot like I matched something, I retracted my foot only to see a beautiful gold necklace which its pendant was inscribed or engraved KD.

KD?

Who could that be?

I picked the chain and damn, my eyes glittering like a Christmas star, it was pure gold...that could fetch me huge amount of money.

With the thought in my mind, I grabbed the chain and ran towards the nearest jewelry store, my brother needed something to eat!!

"Damien, I bought food for you, am going to prepare your favorite dish! “I yelled in a sing song voice but all I got back was silence.

"Damien!?"I yelled and ran into the kitchen, then into his room and bathroom but he was nowhere to be seen.

I ran to his table only to see a piece of paper,

YOU FORCED ME TO DO THIS, IF YOU WANT YOUR LITTLE BROTHER ALIVE, DO AS I SAY.

APPLY AS A SECRETARY TO KING DONOVAN!!!
