DESCOVERING THE BILLIONAIRE'S DARK SECRET

" Your father wants you to marry, The, Erick Mansion," Clara asked her depressed looking friend. " Did I starter?that's why you have to help me run away," Erica replayed packing her bags. " And go where?girl you know how your father is, he's going to find you even if you hide in hell, but why does your father want you to marry that billionaire?not to add to your worries but rumor has it that he has been married and divorced about nine times," Clara said. " It's not a rumor it's true, you know my father's greed for more partners in business, I'm like his token to give for the price of that," Erica said throwing herself on her bed. Clara was right, where would she even run to. Her father had eyes and ears everywhere. Maybe getting married wasn't that bad anyway, but then again what had happened to make him marry and divorce so many times. All this thoughts run across Erica's head. Out of all the ridiculous things her father has ever done for money and power this had to be the most ridiculous one yet. She just had to accept her Fate it was better than living off her father anyway. " Don't be so obvious, your father is doing this for you, my love," Erica's mother assured. " Those are your words and I can tell even you yourself aren't buying them. he's doing it for himself, I'm not a little kid anymore mother," Erica responded. " Well you should wipe that look from your face, your going on a date with a very powerful person and I want him to like you, if things go wrong," Erica's father said drawing close to her," just hope they don't," he threatened. " Or what father, your going to disown me, beat me, lock me up, whats the worst thing you can do, your threats don't work on me, you should work better at being a father, you never know mybe if you asked me nicely I will agree," Erica boldly said. " Take care of your daughter woman, she's walking on the edge with me," And with that he walked away. " Why did you do that to your father, you know how he is," " Well I'm not like you mother, instead of fearing him, he should fear me, mother you know you have a choice to get your freedom back, your just scared to take it, Well I'm off to meet your husband's husband because the way he is excited about this marriage he clearly should be the one getting married," Erica said and drove off to meet the so call billionaire. Everyone knew who Eric Mansion was, he was always in magazines and television everywhere on the internet and so on, he was probably the richest man in the country, with big businesses. But the question still remained, why did all his wives live him or cheated on him, this was something Erica was curious about. Erica drove to the location she was supposed to meet Eric and ofcause for a rich man like him had to reserve the whole restaurant. " Miss Erica, this way please, Mr Mansion is waiting for you," the waiter politely showed her to her table. " You must be Erica," a man with a surprisingly beautiful deep voice asked, it was Eric she could tell from the numerous magazines she had seen him on. " If that's who you were expecting, then I am she," Erica had been known to be a bold girl and she wasn't ready to stop from being herself because her father wanted her to, the fact that she was going to marry this man, he had to know what he's getting himself into. " So Miss Erica, I heard you love fashion," Eric was shockingly very polite and gentleman like. " Let's cut to the chase, my father wants to marry you, oops I meant he wants me to marry you, what do you think about that," " Well uhmm..." " If you think it's a bad idea, I'll go tell him that, " Erica said getting up. " I didn't say that, I've never met someone like you before," " Well let's just say God couldn't allow two of me in this world, the world couldn't have handled it," Erica said settling down. " I guess that kind of makes you unique," Eric said and Erica stared at him for a while. " I'm curious about something, you are annoyingly polite and seem like a gentleman, why have you been divorced Soo many times," Erica asked in all seriousness. " Have you ever heard the saying that curiosity killed the cat," Eric asked the witty Erica. " It killed a cat and the last time I checked, I wasn't a cat, or do you hear me purring Mr Eric, but I understand if you don't want to answer my question, if we get married, I guess the answer will come to me naturally." The rest of the date went on quietly with a little conversation in between and it was finally over. " I have a feeling I'll be seeing you alot Miss Erica," Eric said as they were about to part. " I betting on it, Mr billionaire," Erica said as she hopped on her car and drove off. " I think you finally found her boss, this time I'm sure of it," ................ " Ooh your back how did the date go," Erica's mother asked curiously. " What date," Erica teased her mother. " Erica what did you do, please tell me you went to the date, if your father finds out, he's....," " He's going to do what mother, you are so much intimidatated by him, you need to be your own person. Anyway I met your husband's husband and he was surprisingly polite and gentle," " That's a good thing right?" " It could be, but something just feels off about him, he's so mysterious and not in a superhero hidden identity way, in a more dark underground way," " Are you saying he's the devil, disguised as a human," " Now that you mentioned it," Erica said laughing, " look mother I don't know if he's the devil or just a creepy rich man who has been married like a billion times, all I'm saying is that there is definitely something not right with him." " Well whatever you think he is don't say any of that to your Father," " Ooh I'll try not to ruin his prince charming s image, I want them to have a nice fairytale, I'm not going to be the evil co wife, who locks him away from his business being rescued." " Where in this world did I get you from," Erica's mother said as she smiled at her daughters remarks.
