Billionaire's Crazy Love

Chapter 1

Siya pov:

God!!!

Where is this weird creature? I swear, I'll beat the s**t out of her the moment she lands in front of me singing her sorry.

Just then, I find a tall frame running towards me with her hands on her head trying not to get drenched in the rain. Though it's not raining much as the weather is quite cloudy these days in Texas.

"Sorry, sorry, so sorry my darling ", she says, coming towards me and trying to give me a hug, dramatic girl.

I moved away to escape her so-called lovely hug but my 5'4 body got caught by her 5'8 tall figure. Why does she have to be taller than me? Though having a friend taller than you has its own perks for a helping hand, she gets to tease me a lot. That's so annoying!

" Aww my shorty short missed me. Sorry babe, but see I got my baby her bottle", with that she shows her water flask and takes a sip herself giving me a pointed look to which I royally rolled my eyes. Bearing this crazy ass is really a handful and she states that she takes care of me just because she is older than me by a few months and her height gave her an advantage to annoy me more.

I folded my hands to my chest and glared at her for being so done with her drama.

"Steffy? If you are done, shall we go? ", I asked her, being pissed.

First, she is late.

Second, she is annoying.

and lastly, I'm nervous.

Why wouldn't I be?

It's about my art exhibition.

I have faced a lot of hurdles to get to this point and start my journey on a large scale and get recognition for my talent. Finally, here I am in front of a gallery to have a meeting with the art agent along with Steffy as she wants to help me promote my paintings.

"Okay, Okay chill, have some warm water and take a deep breath and relax., you are the best and you'll do your best". With that, she gave her a flask containing warm water, which she carries all the time, being a health-freak.

I took a sip and took deep breaths and it really helped! hmm.. she's not bad!

Anyway, I can do this. With that thought we both went inside the huge building.

That's Siya,

Siye Wilson. She is a simple 23-year-old girl who wishes to have a happy life with her small family as her world. She lost her mum because of some medical issues at the age of 8 which broke her mentally and emotionally, but she got over it with the help of her dad. Charles, Siya's dad, didn't marry again as he wished to cherish a part of his wife through his daughter who resembles her.

Her dad Charles,

Charles Wilson. He is a very loving father who supported his daughter in every way possible, either be it emotionally, mentally, or financially. He finds out Siya is not good with academics after Susan's death (Charles's late wife), who used to help Siya study. He did help her but her grades were getting no better, so when he found her interest in painting, he encouraged her to follow her talent in art. That is how Siya found herself holding a Master's Degree in Fine Arts.

Siya started her journey as a painter by sharing her talent through social media platforms, which really helped her in exploring herself and getting to know a lot of people. That's where she met Steffy, an art maniac.

Siya's bestie Steffy,

Steffy McCartney. She is crazy, sassy, annoying and the list goes on and on, but however way she is, she is a wonderful friend. She is a spoiled rich child, the only daughter of the McCartney family who owns a Multinational Construction firm. She loves art and is obsessed with landscape paintings.

Steffy is not good at painting, so she chose to promote new talented people through her associates in business. That is when she met Siya online and started to hang out with her, which she didn't realize when she became her bestie. It's been a year since Steff has been nagging Siya to exhibit her paintings in a gallery and now finally Siya is ready mentally and financially.

A few hours later,

"yayayy, we got it", Siya and Steff are jumping, intertwining their hands, and doing some weird dance right in the middle of the Art gallery lobby, getting a lot of attention from the trespassers who are looking at them as if they have seen vampires eating grass.

Steff got back to her senses that they were behaving crazily, took Siya's arms, and dragged her to a corner so as not to get more embarrassed than she already was.

Siya was too consumed with happiness that she didn't see the crowd before and is now confused about why she was being pulled to a corner. Looking confused shorty, Steff replied," Look, I am Steffy. Steffy McCartney. I have an image to maintain in front of the public. Okay!", with that she gave a pose with both her palms on her chin while tilting her face and flipping her hair.

The shorty huffed and gave an 'I-am-done' look at Steff.

"Anyway, now that no one is here". With that, Steff picked Siya and twirled her, saying 'WOAH woah woah we did it, we got it

"Okay, now enough of this. Let's celebrate this with yummy food", said hungry Siya, rubbing her tummy.

" such a foodie, but it's not even lunchtime... wait, don't tell me you didn't have your breakfast just because you are nervous", asked Steff, to which Siya looked down and meekly shook her head.

" You'll never change. Come let's go", that they went to a nearby restaurant to fill their tummies as a particular shorty can't digest her food when she's anxious or nervous that she didn't have her breakfast. So they went to have brunch.

At an Italian restaurant:

The duo went to a cozy restaurant and sat in a corner near the window. The ambiance is really good, it smells of roses, which Siya is obsessed with.

A waiter came to take their order. He is a good-looking guy and he was staring at Siya but she is so hungry that her whole concentration was on the menu.

Steff observed his looks and understood his intentions, so she tried to do something with her wild mind.

" Excuse me, what tastes good here?"Steff asked him, to which he replied, "Well, Margherita pizza tastes wonderful here, but her lips seem much tastier", with a smile muttering the last part, looking at the brown-eyed girl, which Steff heard clearly.

Steffy snickered at his smile which looked creepy after hearing his comment, so she did what she felt was good. "Ohh that's good. We would like to take that small with... chicken soup make sure it's hot and grilled chicken salad with pineapple juice. Thank you."

"Salad? Seriously? Have a cheat meal at least once dude! Anyway, I'll have beef lasagna and white cheesy pasta... make sure you add more cheese with mild spice and I'll have...a chocolate smoothie and a Coke. Thank you.". Siya gave her order and got back to her phone, oblivious to her surroundings.

The guy went away not before eyeing Siya.

Steff snatched her phone saying," Shorty, we have come here to spend time with each other, but you are here spending your quality time with your phone. "And You know, he's hitting on you?", to an angry girl, her lips forming a pout and eyes narrowing at the culprit in front of her.

"He ?? Who?", said Siya, her eyebrows frowning, giving a confused look.

"You... you will never change. Anyway, when are you going to date someone? You never had a boyfriend. I wanna see my friend being all lovey-dovey with her charming prince. So at least try to find a guy, if not just pay some attention around to some things happening so that you can know who is hitting on you, you will get someone.", advises the love expert who had her share of flings to her bestie.

"You started it again! Oh god!! "

"Seriously dude, did you ever feel like having someone who would spend time with you and love you? I mean a person who you can celebrate Valentine's Day with?"

Right at that moment, the same waiter got to their table and steam could be visible from the tray, showing how hot it was. He then sets the items from the tray onto the table, eyeing Siya, whose eyes are delighted at looking at the yummy food. And then he turned to Steff with a neutral face, serving her hot chicken soup, and Steff just raised her hands, touching his hands such that the hot soup fell on his shirt.

He jerked back shouting and started jumping and dancing with his hands trying to wipe the hot soup while hurting his hands doing it. 'He tried to serve it and it served him right- #Steffysteff

But a certain innocent girl got up and gave him tissues, but the guy who understood who did it looked at Steff, who was glaring daggers at him, and beckoned him to leave with her index finger, scaring the s**t out of the poor creepy guy.

The scared waiter rushed to the kitchen to get an ice pack, ignoring the one who was trying to help him with the tissues.

"He got hurt real badly, poor guy", sympathized Siya.

"Yeah. Anyway, let's eat.", said Steff, diverting the hungry girl to get back to her food with a smirky smile.

They were having their brunch and their chicken soup was brought to them again. Thankfully, it was another lady waiter this time.

"You didn't answer me? I too have some dreams and you have to be considerate of your friend"

"What dreams?"

"A beautiful dream to go on a double date. James and me with you and your someone special", Steff expressed her words with her right palm on her chin and looking up with dreamy eyes.

An annoyed, angry girl threw her spoon at the daydreamer to snap her out of her dream and get back to reality. Now it is annoyer vs irritator. #SweetSiya vs #SteffySteff.

"What's this dude?"

"Exactly, What is this? You are talking about a 'person', not some 'thing' that I look at and name as my guy. You know me Steff!", Siya says with her voice lowering at the end.

She then continued softly," It is not just someone that I wanna date. I need time. I wanted to have a long life with a person, not just sometimes. So I can't just see guys randomly and choose someone and date him to see if he is the one and, if not, leave him and choose some other. That is not love. It sounds as if I want to choose a dress."

"Siya... I didn't mean it that way. I just wanted you to experience love and explore yourself, because I felt as if you just wanted to stay single all your life engaging yourself with work and I don't want that."

"Okay...I understand", Siya said with a huff and continued eating.

Siya's words felt like an ending conversation about the topic, but can the staff be Okay... with it? Absolutely not!

"Darling, you sound as if you know what type of person you want to be with. What are the requirements of it?", asked the curious Steff, which earned her a chuckle from the others.

"Steffy, being my boyfriend is not some job that you are naming as a requirement! It is qualities."

"Whatever! Tell me Bebe, what do you expect from your life partner?"

"Well... I have a long list... oww", siya says, expanding her arms wide open and saying that it hurt her elbow and started to rub her elbow to ease the pain.

"Careful dude.. so now I get why you are single! You have too high expectations from your soulmate that not many have"

" Maybe....", and now it's time for Siya to daydream about her prince charming, who got disturbed by the same spoon which she used on Steff. 'I return what I got. simple!' - #SteffySteff

"Dear daydreamer, back to the topic and don't lag and get straight to the point", Steff gets annoyed.

" Okay... I want my soulmate to be a perfect person with a big family."

"OHH the one who can handle your clumsy self with his family. That's important"

(italics are the comments of Steff's mind on Siya's list of qualifications for her soulmate. She didn't say it out loud not to stop her bestie's flow because she knew Siya would definitely not say anything then, so better to be quiet.)

"He has to be loyal and I should be the only one who he ever thinks of and cares for. "

"What about your kids then? "

"He has to love me unconditionally and show it in different ways that I would go crazy for him."

"Do you want a crazy guy or are you crazy? Wait, I get it. You wanted to be a crazy couple."

"He has to be rich and good-looking so that we both look cute together"

"Just now you wanted to be a crazy couple. You wanted to be cute too?"

"He has to love his profession with all his heart so that he will stay happy and keep me happy."

"If he loves his profession with ALL his heart, then where will he have a place to love YOU?"

"No matter how he is outside, he has to be friendly with me, cuddle with me, and talk to me about his day."

"Outside someone and inside someone two shades guy. Maybe, so that no one knows what he is behind closed doors. But I prefer 50 shades."

"He has to protect me from all the harm that might hurt me. I want him to be my savior of the world."

"I got it. He is gonna be like a mask that protects her from the covid virus. In that case, won't he be kissing her all the time? poor girl, let her breathe!"

"I have to be his first priority and take care of myself so that my mind will be filled with his thoughts."

"Traitor! Then where will I be if he is all over your mind? Wouldn't you think of your beautiful bestie anymore then?"

"He has to be possessive of me and get jealous. Guys do weird things when they are jealous and I love it"

"My guy kisses me or punches the other person if he gets jealous. It is not anything weird. What can it be?"

"He has to cook for me sometimes or we can both cook and feed each other, enjoying our company."

"You want a cook or do you want to cook?"

"And finally, he has to love ME, my soul, not my body, and accept me the way I am and correct me if I do something wrong. That's it", ends Siya, eying Steff, who ends up writing something on the tissue paper with utter concentration that she didn't realize when the list ended. So she shook her shoulders and gave her a look, asking what she was writing.

"Nothing much, just noting down the qualifications so that if, by chance, I find this alien, I would tick what all he has and get him to you. I'll keep this in my bag .", with that, Steff showed the tissue paper on which she noted all the points and kept it in her bag.

"I know this is too much, but a human can dream, right? A girl has the right to dream of her prince charming, not that he has to come riding a unicorn, but to just get into your heart. I just want my life to be full of romance and the thrill that each passing second with him becomes a memory.", Siya says with a smile. With that, they continued to eat and they were both done with their food but left quite some food so they got it packed and left the restaurant.

Steff dropped her friend at her home and while leaving she said,

" I hope you get what you wished for and meet your soulmate soon."

Somewhere in New York City:

The whole site of one of the most popular award ceremonies, 'International Business Awards', is illuminating the magnificent hall which is crowded with the most affluent families with the media flashing their cameras on the stage eagerly awaiting the most prestigious award for the night, 'The BusinessMan of the Year'.

Then Henry Sheldon, the founder of 'Radix' and one of the most successful investors in the Fortune 50, presented himself on the stage in a black suit with an envelope showing his gracious smile that made him look quite young even at the age of 48.

He walked to the modern acrylic podium and said," Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen, So the most awaited award of the night, 'The BusinessMan of the Year' goes to.. any guesses?", to which the whole crowd looked at that one particular person who graced his presence in the ceremony at the front table with stoic face in his white shirt with black suit looking absolutely dashing and handsome who was tapping his fingers on the table in anticipation.

"You are right! That's Dr. Aryan Williams.", announced Henry in his cheerful voice, showing his adoration towards the young man who stood up, buttoned his coat, and walked to the stage clicking his shoes on the floor in his shiny classic shoes in all his grace added to his flawless charm.

That's Aryan,

Dr. Aryan Williams. A 28-year-old handsome man with a 5 o'clock shadow and charming dark blue eyes with dark brown hair. He took over his father's company 'Williams Imports-Exports', the empire that rules the business world with the exports and imports of materials through ports, at the age of 24 and started his own pharmaceutical company while continuing his surgical practice as a cardio-surgeon, working almost 16 hours a day.

He is a determined person when it comes to his work that he can work non-stop to achieve his goals. If he sets his eyes on something, he doesn't stop until and unless he gets it either be it something or someone. He has a family including his dad (who he is really close with), his step-mom, 2 step-brothers, a step-sister, and grandparents living at 'Williams Estate' altogether.

He is a perfect guy with all the qualities a girl can ever wish for, as her husband. Who might be the lucky girl?

*****

Aryan walked towards Henry and forwarded his hands but got himself in a hug. Henry patted the young man on his back and left him, saying 'The stage is all yours' and receiving a 'Thank you'.

The handsome guy who won the same award 2 times consecutively at a young age right in his late twenties, went to the wired mic on the podium and gave a glance around the hall with his blue eyes, and said, " Dear all, I am pleased to receive this award. As I said last year for the same award, the reason I'm standing in this position is because of my Superhero, my Inspiration, my Dad. I am glad to get your blessings, Dad and I would like to dedicate this award to all the members of 'Williams and Co.'. I am not gonna thank you all because you people are not just employees, you are family and we don't thank our family, we respect them. That's my tribute to you guys.", with that he bowed at 90 degrees, showing his regard that touched millions of hearts, which resulted in a huge round of applause with a standing ovation.

The huge grand hall resonated with the claps for the one who not only won the award but also won hearts.

That is Dr. Aryan Williams for the world.
