Billionaire's Delusion

Nia's Point of View, "Hey, do you think that the moon is looking gorgeous today," I asked Sam as he kept Looking into my eyes. I snapped my fingers in front of his eyes as he blinked. "I do not think that I have seen anything prettier than your eyes," Sam said, and I felt my cheeks burnt up as I was feeling so d*mn shy. He does not miss one single chance of flirting. "Come on Sam, that was way cheesy". I teased him, and he just held my hand and pulled me close. "Nia, why do you always ignore my intentions? Why do you act like you know nothing about my feelings? "Why the hell do you have to act dumb"? I got scared for a second by his actions. I have known Sam since high school. He is a nice guy and very close to me. I also know that he has liked me since high school and since last year he has been acting weird. It is so hard to tell him that I am not the right girl for him. He is a very humble and kind-hearted guy, and he deserves better than me. I took a sip from the glass. The wine was great, and it was even very good when we drank it under the shadow of the moon. I am scared at this moment that I am going to hurt his feelings. But he is right. I can not pretend to be dumb anymore. I just have to face it now. It is indeed high time. "Amm Sam, I think you are drunk, and you should go home," I said with a heavy heart. I thought we were cool. We have been best friends for years, and he will get over it. I thought he also did not want to ruin our friendship, but I am so f*ck*ng wrong. "Oh come on Nia, you still do not want to face it. "You know so well that I am f*ck*ng in love with you, but you just had to act dumb," he yelled at me and I just closed my eyes to calm myself. I thought it was cool that the two best friends could drink. I thought it was not a big deal that he was at my place, but I am so f*ck*ng wrong again and again. It is not like I do not like him. He is smart, handsome, tall, rich, cute, loyal, caring and everything a girl wishes for, but I am not a clean person. I have done some things which I regret, and I will regret them till my last breath and that is why he can not be with me. He needs to get over me. I know it is my mistake. Maybe I have given him some wrong hints. I should not have been with him all these years in the first place when I knew how he felt about me. I acted like a selfish person. I needed a friend at that time and I just could not let him go. Gosh, I just do not know what the hell I should do now. "Sam, please. This is not the right time for this. You are drunk, and you should go home", I started dragging him out. He lives not so far from here. "I am not going anywhere". He pulled me close and cupped my face. I could literally see the pain in his eyes. I hate myself for being so selfish and hurting his feelings when he deserves the universe, but I am scared that my past sins could be dangerous for him. So I just have to push him away. "Sam, you are a wonderful person. And honestly, I like you too, but you have to understand that I can not be with you". I tried to push him away, but he did not let me. "I do not want to understand anything Nia. "I f*ck*ng love you and I want you". He tried to kiss me. It was the very first time that I was scared of Sam. I thought he would never do anything to hurt me. I do not blame him either, but it was something hard to tolerate. Before I could take any action, I heard a gunshot nearby. Sam and I were both so shocked. Sam instantly held my hand and dragged me inside. I was too shocked to react and so was Sam. We stayed silent for some time. I was angry with Sam for what he did just now. Everything was quiet again. I did not even try to mention what just happened out there. I am sure I will lose it right now, so I decided to be quiet for some good seconds. I peeped out the window and luckily there was no one. I had no idea where the gun was shot, but all I could think was to send Sam back right now. "I think you should go home now," I said to him. He looked guilty, but right now I did not want to hear anything. He did exactly what I said without saying a single word. He walked out of my house and I closed the door. My heart was still beating like a drum. With a heavy heart, I headed into my house. I felt like crying. Just could not understand what had gotten into him all of a sudden. He had never acted like that before. I know it is all my fault. I made it messy. Seems like it is hard for him to act like my friend anymore. I just took a deep breath and closed my eyes for a second. That is when I heard a knock on my door. "God, what the hell he wants now". I am now feeling annoyed by him because of what he did. It was not the right time for us to talk now. I went to open the door furiously, but my eyes got wide in confusion, there was no one. I was already scared by the gunshot, and now I feel something is wrong. I looked around, but there was no one. Just then, I looked down, and my eyes got wide again to see a hard board. Something was written on it in a blood-red color that made me shiver to my spine. "Stay the f*ck*ng away from him".
