Chapter1 (Seventy-Five Days)
Lyrella's POV:
“f*****g listen to me!!" Aiden yelled, bringing the gun from Lyrianna's head to mine.
My eyes glittered with tears as the cold iron touched my forehead.
“His name is Tyler Cole. The fourth richest guy in the United States. You have only seventy five days!” He yelled loudly.
"T-to?” I asked, fear gripping me like chains.
"To make him fall in love with you and reveal his source of income!!” He replied.
"B-but, he has a company a-and an international airport, i-”,
He cut me off, "Shut the f**k up! That isn't where he makes his god-damned money!"
“Thi-" I tried to speak but Aiden cut me off again.
"You have seventy five days to seduce him, to tame him, to deceive him, to decipher him, to unveil him!!” he yelled before lowering the gun and laughing.
“W-why ar- you doing th-is?" I whispered,
“Go! Now!! I shall hold your sister, in case you try playing smart,” He said, grinning like a wild cat.
He grabbed Lyrianna's neck, her screams piercing the room.
He then let go of her, before grabbing a device, and pushing a button.
He stared right at me and whispered, “your time starts now! Seventy five days”.
I couldn’t move, all I could do was stare into his emerald green eyes. He ran his fingers through his shiny brown hair before looking behind me.
Huge hands grabbed me from behind, pulling me roughly.
Looking back, I saw his men.
I kicked and punched, while screaming for them to let go of me, but they didn't.
They finally threw me outside.
I fell on the floor like a scumbag, the sun scorching my forehead. The door opened again and someone threw my purse at me.
I sat there and stared, tears blurring my vision. It all seemed like a movie to me. Why would he do this, why would he?! How did he even know I had a twin sister?
I picked myself up, running to the door and banging it hard, but nobody came to open.
I banged and banged, tears streaming out of my eyes but it was all futile.
………………………………
My eyes fluttered open to the view of the moon above me. I groaned, tilting my neck to see where I was. I was on the front porch in Aiden's house.
My eyes flew open in shock as I quickly grabbed my purse and fetched my phone.
“Goddamn it!!" I exclaimed, looking at the time. It was 2am in the morning.
I stood and kicked the door before grabbing my head in frustration. I groaned as I turned to leave, but I wasn't even sure of where I was headead to this midnight.
Walking out of the gate with my phone in my hand, I groaned occasionally as I remembered what today was– It was my birthday.
It was our birthday, Lyrianna and I.
This was the first birthday we would be apart.
However, I still wasn't able to comprehend the fact that Aiden really held my sister hostage so I could find the income source of…..was it John wick?...no, I thought it was…….some Sabastian or something… the Fourth richest guy in America. How did I not know he existed then??
I mumbled a curse as my legs made stumping sounds against the roads of LA.
I fetched my phone again, holding down the button.
“Hey Siri, order me a Lyft ride. I'm at…….”. I turned to look at the address, "Sandiago road, the sixth,” I added.
"Where are you headed?” Siri asked,
"My house. Ridgewood road, the fourteenth.” I replied,
"Your Lyft ride has been requested. Your driver's name is Gianni Wills, and they will arrive in a few minutes,”,
"What's the estimated time?"I asked, sighing,
“Eight minutes," She replied,
“Thanks," I blurted out, smiling, as if Siri could actually see my expressions.
“You're welcome, I'm happy to help,”.
I put my phone back before sitting on a street bench, rubbing my arm as the weather was freezing cold. The chilly breeze grazed upon my slightly hairy and exposed skin.
A few minutes went by and my ride arrived.
I went into the car and he drove me home. I bade the driver goodbye before going into the house.
I sighed, throwing my bag on the bed before climbing on it.
“Darn it!!" I whimpered into the sheets.
How did I get myself into this?
Aiden was my boyfriend, or ex I mean.
He didn't take me as his girlfriend then.
He only saw me as his s*x slave, like his little slutty good girl!
But it was then over between us, as his tongue slipped and he told me he never enjoyed having s*x with me.
The hell?!
Now there he was, calling me yesterday and when I visited him, I saw he had my sister. s**t!
He was already a billionaire, then why did he care about someone else's income source?!
He just better not hurt Lyrianna, though I knew he could. Nothing was above Aiden. Nothing!
He could do whatever he wanted as long as he had his wealth, but I guess he couldn't discover John wick's income source with his wealth, and that was a sting to his balls.
My eyes began to feel heavy in the sheet. “No, not yet," I whispered to myself, sitting up, trying to beat drowsiness.
I grabbed my phone again.
“Hey Siri, who is the fourth wealthiest guy in America?”
"Tyler Cole-" Siri replied,
“Oh, yeah, that's the one!" I nodded vigorously, pressing my lips into a thin line as I rumpled the sheets in the other hand.
“He is the fourth wealthiest guy in America. He possesses a company that specializes in construction, and sponsors home building facilities, producing companies and firms. They also partner with skilled engineers”.
I sighed, "What's the name of his company?” I asked,
"TC constructions",
I sighed before grabbing my MacBook to look it up. I looked up the location and I was lucky it was in LA, about a thirty minute ride away from my house.
I found their LinkedIn account and found a job vacancy for a secretary position.
My eyes widened in joy as I dug my fingers in my hair,
“Yes!! Yes!!!" I exclaimed, excitement washing over me.
But then I realized that I didn't even have a complete education, so how would I qualify for such a position?
I groaned again for the nth time that day.
My excitement came crashing down like a bag of grains.
……………………………..
“What’s your name?” I asked,
"I'm Phoebe Robbie," She replied with a smile, the sweetest one I had ever seen.
I hired her to buy her credentials and certificates to apply for the job but her resume would be edited, I would use my photo instead of hers.
“I studied at Harvard University," she added as I looked into the credentials. I nodded.
“This is impressive, four hundred dollars would do right?” I asked, raising my brows, knowing she could never reject such bid.
She shook her head, "What? For my credentials? No, I could get arrested, two thousand!”.
My eyes widened, "Tw-" I paused to laugh. “You're ridiculous, one thousand".
What game did she think she was playing with me? Crap! I never knew I was playing games with Miss goody two shoes.
“Fifteen hundred!"
Sighing, I shook my head in submission.
“Fine! Your PayPal details?".
