Harry’s POV
“You’re what?!” I yelled as I walked through the house in my underwear. I had been eating my breakfast of cereal when a call had come in. It had been from the chick I had slept with at the club. Her name was Ariana.
We had kept in touch since then but after waking up from the club and going home, it had been business all the way. I had been too busy to see her.
Now she was calling to let me know that she was a few weeks pregnant.
“Why didn’t you get rid of it?” I yelled.
“I didn’t know I was pregnant until…”
“Stop lying to me! You can’t tell me that I poured my seed into you and you did not know about it.”
“I knew about it, I took pills for them, but it did not work.”
“What kind of a sick joke is this? Do you take me for a five years old child? I am a businessman with a multi billion dollar company. I do not have time to have children and play silly games like this.”
“So, what? You want me to raise this child on my own?”
“Get rid of it.”
“I don’t want to.”
“Then that’s your problem and not mine.”
I turned off the call, tossing my phone into my bed.
I was tired of having to deal with incompetent people around.
I had grown up in a house where my parents had been emotionally unavailable because they were busy with international businesses. They owned the largest company in the west as they dealt with cars and oil companies.
As a result, I had grown up with my elder brother and sister being estranged from me as they had grown up and taken after the family’s business.
This had made me grow cold towards everyone and the only person I had gotten attracted to was Queen. However, while I was away on a business trip, she had slept with my best friend in my house and I had watched everything live from my office abroad on a secret camera.
The camera I had there for security purposes had gotten me the evidence needed to use against her but instead she had denied it even when it was staring her in the face.
I had broken up with her and fired my friend from the company. After that, I had been spiraling with my heart locked up to never love again.
Now I was hearing that I had a woman who was pregnant with my baby. I was not ready for that yet.
As a twenty seven year old who wanted to go out and enjoy my life, I hated being present for a baby who would hinder my fun. No, I would not have that.
I was single and that was that.
My phone rang again and this time I was prepared to tell her off.
“Listen lady,” I warned. “This would be the very last time you will call this number. If you call it again I will have you arrested by thugs and have the baby beaten out of you myself. Are we clear?”
“Mr… Harrison?” a different voice asked. The voice was a male’s own and I composed myself.
“Yes? Who is this?” I was not going to apologize for anything. I was a billionaire.
“It’s your bank manager.”
“Oh, Richard. What’s up?”
“Nothing much. I-Is this a bad time? I can call again if you…”
“Oh, no, no, no, this is as good a time as ever. Is anything the matter?”
“Yes and I’m really hoping you’ll take the news okay. I hope.”
I knew something was wrong. I had never gotten a call like this before. For Richard to call me then it meant that something had happened.
“I’ve got good news and bad news,” Richard went on to say. “Which should I lay out first?”
“Bad news first. I’d like to calm down with the good news.”
“Unfortunately the good news is going to come first. So you are still one of the richest youngest millionaires in the world.”
“Millionaires?” I scoffed. “Is this a joke? I am a billionaire. I had my money doubled during my trip to Vegas. I sent you my tabs and everything. I called you countless times and told you to expect a certain amount.”
“And I have waited ever since then but apparently when I called the club they said you had been paid.”
I opened my eyes in shock. What had happened?
“Is this a joke?”
“This is not a joke Harry. I run a bank and not a circus. Do you have another bank to which you paid to? We can trace the money from there.”
“I don’t. How can my father own a bank and I would get out there to patronize another bank? It makes no sense.”
“Shall I call the club and ask for the name of the account?”
“Shouldn’t you have done that a long time ago?!”
“I will do it now, sir.”
The call cut off and I growled to the ceiling. Billions of dollars were floating and I could not do anything about it. I had to trace that money and get it back.
“Ariana was there with me that day,” I sighed. I called her back to hear her sniff on the phone. “Where is my money?”
“What are you talking about?” she asked, her voice was like that of a person who had been crying.
“That day, you signed in my account. You wrote it down, did you not?”
“I did no such thing. It was your ex, Queen who did it.”
No. Queen was the worst person to be with my money at the moment.
I dropped the call to call Richard and my fears were confirmed.
“Apparently, sir, the money was sent to a Queen Taylor. She had your money sir.”
Oh no. This was not good. That b***h was not going to listen to me.
