The Billionaire

Chapter 5

Xavier's POV

Scarlet was quiet with her back to us until....

"Was this your plan? Did you think it would work? You did all this so you could marry Xavier? " She said loud enough for us to hear but her back was still turned to us. This confused me, who was she talking to?

"Babe who are you talking to?" I asked her turning to face her because her back was turned to us. I called her babe so Dylan would know she's my girlfriend.

"Crystal Grey? Who are you really?" She asked turning to face us, she had a blank expression on her face. She still had her mask on where as we took ours off. I could see Dylan trying to figure out who she was.

"I am Crystal Grey daughter of Dylan Grey, don't you know me?! Then again your poor why would you know someone as famous as me hahaha" Crystal said confidently, but I could tell she was trying to offend Scarlet but the reaction she got was blank. Scarlet didn't waver. She stood there looking at them with an expressionless face.

I took this oppertunity to introduce her.

"Mr Grey this is my girlfriend Scarlet Jonson. I love her sir so I'm sorry I can not marry Crystal." I said firmly and confidently.

"Mr Royce your father and I have discussed this. You are to marry my daughter and that's final. We have started to talk about merging our two companies together. My daughter is a better fitted wife then that girl standing next to you. She doesn't even have the manners to show us her face. You are to marry Crystal." He said sternly without stuttering. He was making my blood boil, how can he just say that infront of Scarlet.

"You are forcing Xavier to marry your daughter when you haven't even found her yet." Scarlet commented making me confused. What did she mean 'when you haven't even found her'?

"Are you blind or something?! I have found my daughter she is standing right next to me.!" Dylan replied getting angry. But why?

"You can't fool me Dylan. She is not your daughter and you know it. Why are you doing this? Are you that desperate to merge your company with Royce Airway and Industries for you to hire a fake daughter?" Scarlet was reasonably calm while she said that. What the hell was she saying.

"Who are you?" Dylan whispered but loud enough for us to hear. He was staring at Scarlet with wide eyes.

"Scarlet, what are you doing?" I said whispered to her. I told her not to say or do anything stupid. I may hate the idea of marrying Dylan's daughter but I still needed his investment, and Scarlet was making it harder to get it.

"Hiring a girl to pose as your daughter is low but hiring a s**t like her just degraded your standards and reputation. How can you stoop this low?" She said ignoring what i had just said. She was reasonably calm while I was near to the point in dragging her out.

"How dare you!" Crystal shouted catching everyone's attention. What she did next surprised me, she tried to slap Scarlet across the face but somehow Scarlet saw it coming because she caught Crystal's hand and slapped her instead.

The slapping sound caused everyone to turn in our direction and caused 2 men to come running and stood next to Crystal. One had blond hair the other had brown hair, both were an inch smaller then me. By this time Crystal was crying. Pathetic.

"Cuz are you ok? b***h who are you to do this!" blondy said angrily.

"Taylor" Crystal said to the blond sobbing.

"How dare you slap our cousin" This time it was the brown haired dude that was shouting at Scarlet.

"Brian" Again Crystal was sobbing but I kew it was fake.

So these two Dylan's nephew. Blondy's name was Taylor and the brown haired dude was Brian. I looked at Scarlet and she had a blank face AGAIN!

"I never thought you two would be fooled by her is well. I guess stupidity runs in the family. Tell me did 'he' pay you to pretend not to know your own cousin? Or you two are dumber then I thought?" Scarlet was digging her own grave here. And how the hell does she know who these two are?!

"Scarlet what are you saying? Do know who your talking to? Stop this nonsense your causing a scene, I think they know who their own cousin is STOP this!" Scarlet seemed surprised by my comment. I was getting angry because she was causing a scene.

"A girl like you doesn't belong here!" Brian shouted.

"Scarlet lets go!" I grabbed her arm and tried to pull her out but she didn't budge. When I looked at her she had tears in her eyes. What was happening to her?

"I can take Dylan introducing this w***e as his daughter but for you two to be in on it.... You two know better then to be in on his scheme. You love your cousin enough to not pretend she's her. You love Ria enough to protect her." Scarlet said, her voice cracking a bit. Who the f**k was Ria?

The two boys eyes widened at what Scarlet said. Standing infront of Crystal, the two men looked at Scarlet dead in the eyes trying to figure her out.

"Who are you and how do you know that name!?" Taylor asked looking at Scarlet with a surprised look.

"You know me Troy, You and Ian would secretly sneak out of your house and run all the way to mine when it rains and climb up to my balcony just to hug me so I won't get scared. You would always call me your little sister. Have you forgotten about me? Even if you didn't know what 'he' was doing to me you would always tend to my bruises and cuts." Scarlet said tears flowing down her cheeks.

How does she know these two? what did she mean? Bruises and cuts? What was going on...

The two guys had shocked expression written on their faces. Taylor took a step towards Scarlet and faced her with unshead tears in his eyes.

"Ria?" He whispered but loud enough for us to hear.

Who was he talking to and why did he just call Scarlet Ria. I snapped out of my thoughts when Brian came closer and stood next to Taylor looking at Scarlet with longing eyes. Tears falling from their eyes.

"Only one person in the world calls us that. Ria is that really you?" Brian asked with hope in his voice. Dylan was staring at them with wide eyes. But why?

Some one need to explain before I lose it here!!

"What are you two doing. Get her out of my party! She slapped me! What the hell are you doing still talking to her! GET HER OUT!!" Crystal shouted from behind the two guys, to which the two turned to her.

I was about to answer back to her when Taylor beat me to it.

"Don't talk to her like that" Taylor sneered at her.

"Taylor how could you defend that w***e! She slapped me! Your defending her over your cousin!" She shouted back.

"You are not their cousin. The true daughter isn't even called Crystal, so stop embarressing yourself Crystal because you and I know you are just a nobody" This time it was Scarlet who answered but she was surprisingly calm throughout this conversation. It was like she was a different person.

"You don't know me! It is you who is embarressing yourself Scarlet. It is you who is a nobody!" -Crystal

"Really?" -Scarlet

Scarlet stepped to the side so she was seen by both party's and slowly took her mask off. The two boys and Dylan gasp as soon as they saw her face. The two boys quickly went up to her and hugged her. That got my attention and I quickly ripped them off her body.

"Don't touch my girlfriend!" I said. My blood was boiling. How dare they touch her when they didn't even know her!

"Step down Royce! You seem like the one who doesn't know who she is!" Taylor screamed at me. His comment caused me to look behind me. What did he mean I didn't know who she was. I turned back to Taylor and Brian but I soon realised it was a bad idea because soon my body hit the ground. Brian had punched me.

"Xavier!" Scarlet shouted kneeling down next to me.

"Ian why did you do that?" she questioned .... wait who was Ian?

"Ria come here!" Brian commanded her. He was starting to piss me off.

"No Ian! He is my boyfriend how dare you punch him!" Scarlet screamed back at Brian. Wait his name's Brian so why is Scarlet calling him Ian and why is he calling her Ria? How the hell do they know each other? But Taylors comment answered my unvoiced questions.

"Adrianna Come here now!" Adrianna? I looked at Scarlet but she was already on her feet facing the two guys. Adrianna? That name sounds familiar... Getting up from the floor and wiping the blood at the side of my mouth I faced Scarlet who was not facing Brian and Taylor.

"Who you calling Adrianna?" - Crystal

"Me" Scarlet said with a blank expression still looking at Brian and Taylor. What the f**k was going on?!

"Adrianna is that really you?" Dylan asked with tears gathering in his eyes.

Wait!

I remember that name. Dylan's daughter was called Adrianna..... That means...

"It's nice to see you again Dylan" you could hear the pain in her voice as she said his name. Every one looked at Scarlet and Dylan with wide eyes like putting jigsaw pieces together. Heck even I'm surprised.

Scarlet was the lost daughter of Dylan Grey, she was his heir. That was why I couldn't get anything from my PI when I did a background check on her. That's why she looked pale at seeing the house when we arrived. She was the child prodigy my father was talking about. She was the daughter Dylan abused and ran away. How the f**k can he a***e her like that?!

That means Scarlet's the girl my father wanted me to marry!

"That is why you are not the real heir to GGC Crystal. I am. My name is Adrianna Scarlet Grey, daughter of Dylan and Scarlet Grey. I may hate 'him but I will not let the company 'he' and my mother built be handed to you just to see you burn it to the ground. I don't know what your up to old man but your game is sick, involving Ian and Troy into this. You've crossed the line! Crystal, the person Xavier's going to marry is me. " Scarlet said confidently.
