The Billionaire's Enchantress

Chapter 2

  JD’s POV

“Boss, Mr. Lawson just left the venue. I took some pictures and videos of them.” said the private investigator I paid to monitor that woman and dad. He has been following them close to three months now.

I am still in my office right now. I couldn't focus these past few days especially when I found out about dad’s plan with that woman.

“s**t!" It is still 4 pm but here I am drinking some wine. I clenched my hand tightly while holding the wine glass causing it to break. I quickly grabbed a clean cloth to wrap around my now bloody hand. I got a long cut but it's not deep. I had to tighten the wrap until the blood stop flowing out.

It's that woman's fault. She was bothering my mind too much. I just found out that she has been meeting dad during the weekends. And just last week, I found out that dad gave her a condo unit. I heard about her before but it never crossed my head that dad would seriously get involved with her. She’s too young for his taste. 

It is partly my fault. My dad and I has this strained relationship for almost 8 years because of what he did in the past. I shake off my head from those thoughts. I don’t want to get there and dwell in the past. And now, here we are again. I thought dad has learned his lesson well.

I am looking at the pictures of his latest girlfriend right now. The pics were taken during her graduation. There were pics of them hugging tightly and looking at each other lovingly. 

Her name is Ma. Victoria Sanford, 22 y.o., an orphan, graduated as magna c*m laude. She was born in Blakeson. It’s surprising that dad also grew up in that place. Maybe they got along quickly partly because of that. There is no denying that this woman is also very beautiful. She could pass for a model.

I can’t fault dad. Looking at her pics right now, she’s really a stunner. You just stay glued looking at her face. She looks like an angel with those big brown doe-eyes. She has those luscious plump lips any man would want to kiss.

Fuck! What is happening to me?! It is too early to get drunk.

This woman spells danger. I need to stop dad with his foolishness. Regardless of what happened from the past, dad is family, my own blood. I won’t let any gold diggers to destroy my dad again.

My phone has been ringing... 6 missed calls from Jared.

“Hey man, what’s up?!” My voice got a little louder causing Jared to laugh out loud.

“Hey JD, what’s wrong with you man? I called you several times in a row. Where are you? Meeting?” He chuckled softly.

“I am preoccupied right now. I didn’t hear your calls. It’s been a busy day.” Irritably replying to him.

“What busy? I called your secretary and she told me you are just in your office. You already finished all your meetings and paperworks earlier.” Jared is laughing again. He finds all of these funny, irritating JD all the more.

“I didn’t know that you could pass up for an investigator.” I got annoyed at him. He has the audacity to ask me just to annoy me more. But Jared is Jared, he always gets away with things.

Jared has been my bestfriend for as long as I can remember. We went to the same school from elementary until college though I went to the US for my master’s degree. I am an only son. I considered Jared not just my bestfriend but a brother as well. 

“Is it her again? How was your investigation going?” I sighed whenever the topic is about that woman. He would not stop asking until I end up telling him everything. I am getting really frustrated from all of these mess.

“Nothing much. Dad keeps seeing her and he is planning to get her to work in his company.” Just thinking of that made me hate that woman all the more.

“ You have her investigated for almost 3 months now. And what did you get? Looks like your dad is very fond of her.” declared Jared seriously.

“ I think I have a good plan for her so she will be completely out of dad’s life.” I replied in a determined voice.

“Man, whatever your plan is, I think you are playing with fire. What if she’s not really your dad’s girlfriend? Did it ever cross your mind? I don’t think she falls under your dad’s taste. Besides, she’s extremely young.” Jared said meaningfully.

“Well, people change. What if dad’s taste in women has also changed? We haven’t really talked personally except business these past few years.” Jared knew the main reason why I had a rift with dad.

“Well, all I know is that she is too young to be your stepmother. ” Jared just laughed crazily on the other line. I want to throw him the bottle of wine. He knows that I’m having a big problem and this fool is enjoying my misery.

“Where’s Nicole? Looks like she has been neglecting you lately. You have plenty of time to annoy me.” Suddenly, the line was quiet. Nicole is his fiancée  and the mere mention of her name would straighten up his behavior.

“Man, loosen up! I am just trying to take your head’s off from that woman. Why don’t you come with us tonight? And by the way, Nicole said hi. And she asked when are you planning to get married.” He really can’t stop his big f*****g mouth. He knows I hate to get tied down to a woman.

“f**k you!” I immediately turned off the phone on him. He can be f*****g annoying sometimes. I have no plans of getting married anytime soon. 

The press tagged me as a playboy billionaire but that’s not true at all. I had my fair share of women but I can only count with my fingers those that I had s*x with. I don’t do casual s*x as frequently as what the press were saying about me. I never have a gf since I don’t like women when they start to get clingy. It’s suffocating and I want to be free. I want to have my own space and time without getting bothered by a complaining gf.

I got distracted from my train of thought when I saw a message from my phone. It’s from Melissa. She’s not my gf but we have this no strings attached relationship. We can f**k without getting into a serious commitment. I like our set-up. But lately, I barely go to her condo. I start to get bored from her.

This is not good. I need to change my mood. I have too much of that woman lately. So, instead of ignoring her messages again, I read them and called her.

“Babe...” I can hear Melissa’s husky voice purring like a hungry cat.

“Hey, I will come to your place tonight. Are you free?” I asked her straightway. I didn’t bother to ask her how she is.

“You know I am always free for you babe. Why don’t you have dinner here? I will cook your favorite. I am glad you finally stop ignoring me.” she chuckled.

“Yeah, I need to relax a lil bit. I’ll come around 8. Make yourself ready.” I briefly cut our conversation. She gets what I meant. 

Melissa Morrison, a daughter of a shipping magnate... our  “relationship” works to our convenience. We both don’t want any serious commitments. Also, we both decided we could exclusively f**k each other during the duration of our “relationship”. If one wants out, we are free to go on our separate ways.

So far, we have been in this situation for almost half a year now. That’s already something. I don’t stay longer with women. I hate getting into commitments. As much as I enjoy s*x, I also practice safe s*x so Melissa is a wise choice for me.

I glance at my wristwatch, it’s still 5:30 pm. I will call the investigator to discuss things with him. I need to do something drastic in the next few days. It’s time to finally meet her.
