Billionaire's Obsession

Chapter 19: The Revelation and the First Move

I meet Kelly in her room, where I was staying before I moved to Nicholas bedroom. She is in the bathroom and I need to figure out something.

“Hey, good morning.” She said while brushing her teeth, when I glance at the bathroom door

“So tell me what’s the deal with you and Darren?” Kelly looks at me with an arch brow.

“What do you mean? We are friends.”

“Seriously? You are not gonna tell me Kelly?”

“What am I suppose to tell you then?” She said laughing at me, and her mouth full of bubbled toothpaste from brushing.

“Eww Kelly that’s gross, finish your thing.”

“Because I’m f*****g answering your out of the world question bitch.” I laugh on that.

“So did you talk to your hottie fiancé? Are we like going out today?”

“Don’t change the topic Kelly, what’s with you and Darren?” I asked her once again. “The way you both acted last night I know there’s something fishy.”

“So you are not gonna leave me huh?” She sighs heavily and starts telling me everything. Everything that left me bewildered, shocked and surprised.

I have learned that Kelly and Darren met in Chicago, she even told me about the mystery guy who paid all the hospital bills of my dad two years ago and it’s none other than Nicholas.

I would never ever think a Good Samaritan will pay all the bills of a stranger. I am so thankful for whoever he is. And because of it I was able to go back to the country where my family was after my father died. Ever since, I call him mystery guy that I will be thankful forever. And now Kelly is telling me that mystery guy is Nicholas.

Mirna told me as well when we left to London after my husband’s funeral. Nicholas didn’t stop sending her help and some of the closes people I know. She also told me that Nicholas offered her to stay here for good so we can be complete family here together.

“Give him a chance Ara. He is a good man I am sure Adam is happy because there’s a man who loves you and who will take care of you and the kids.” Mirna mumbles while rubbing my back. I am crying so hard that I can’t breathe. Everything seems incredible.

A few hours later, I am standing in front of the mirror holding my cellphone, I want to call him, that f*****g crazy monster didn’t leave my mind since this morning. I am about to call him but then I remember he said that he will attend an important conference today. That man is really workaholic. I think I am missing him.

I wear a simple black body con dress and my black ankle strap heels. I straightened my long black jet hair and put some powder and my favourite matte lipstick.

“Are you okay now? We can go next time if you’re not feeling well.” Kelly said.

“I’m good to go Kelly, shall we?” Then we wait outside where Dean and Andy are waiting for us.

We are inside a fancy club and just like yesterday night at the ball everybody is staring at us specifically at me.

“What’s wrong with these people Kelly?” I whisper in her ear.

“Didn’t you know bestie? Your face is all over the news and that means you are popular now.” She giggles and I roll my eyes.

“Omgosh bestie look at all these men, they are looking at you like they want to eat you.” She’s teasing me and I mumble to her.

“Shssh... Dean and Andy will report us to their boss, do you want to go home early huh?” I whisper in her ear and she whispers back.

“But look at all the women girl, they are like throwing a dagger on you?” Kelly said and we laugh harder and walk to the bar side. My men in black are following us.

“Hi, I’ll have blow job please?” Kelly ordered winking at the bartender.

“You are so bitch.” I told her rolling my eyes.

“And what about you?” I look at her frowning she laughs and said.

“What will you drink I mean.”

“Nah I am not allowed.”

“What?” she told me almost screaming.

“Yeah because of last night.”

She laughs again so hard and told me. “Oh hell yeah, how come you easily get drunk with just two glasses of wine?”

“Well that’s because I don’t drink at all duh.” But maybe I could drink just one glass. So I ask for a glass of wine.

Kelly and I are like a total b***h when we are together. As I have said before, we have our own world. Then I saw Dean talking to his earpiece. I bet he is reporting me to their boss. How come they are so loyal? It’s just one glass and a wine.

“So you are dating Darren?”

“Yeah, when he visits Chicago for business we make sure we have time to meet.”

“Darren is a good man, I think you suit each other well.”

Kelly sighs and asks me. “How about you bestie? Are you happy?” I stop for a moment and sip on my glass.

“I think I am getting there, I think I am falling for him or maybe I love him already.” Kelly holds my hand smiles at me.

“Bestie, I know you’ve been through a lot, but I guess it’s time for you to move on and follow your heart’s desire.”

“I’m still afraid Kelly, I don’t know. Sometimes, I wish these things didn’t happen. That he didn’t see me two years ago. That I don’t want anyone in this life.”

Then I felt someone is looking from behind. When I turn around I saw him. His eyes are dark and I could feel his anger. I walk to him but he immediately turns away telling Dean and Andy to bring us home. I yell his name and follow him but he doesn’t give a damn look. What did I do?

Next morning I woke up alone in the bed, he did not come home. I figure out what did I do to make him mad. Is it because of the wine? It was just one glass and I was not drunk last night, or did he hear our convo? Maybe he heard the last part but not the entire conversation. I need to talk to him.

I hug Kelly and bid my goodbye. Darren will take her to the airport and so I didn’t bother to come with them and give them some privacy.

I asked Olivia where is Nicholas and she said he is in the company and maybe he will come home tonight.

I waited for him the whole day, but he did not come home again. The twins are looking for him too. Good thing Mirna is there. I tried to call him many times but he wasn’t answering my calls and often put me to voicemail.

It’s been three days I haven’t seen him and it freaking annoyed me. I don’t like this feeling, I don’t like what is happening, I don’t get enough sleep either, and I lost my appetite. I am like a kid walking around his room and playing with my phone whether to call him or text him again. Instead I went to the bathroom and take a shower then after I went to my closet and pulled out my black lace underwear and a white baggy shirt and walk out the room. I checked my babies in their room and they are sleeping, I did not notice it’s already past 10 in the evening.

I went down to the kitchen to get a bottle of water, when I saw his office door slightly open, I get closer to the door and take a peak, and there he is, sitting on his couch and talking on the phone. He is wearing black sweatpants and black shirt, I am about to get inside but I stop for awhile and ask myself, “Do I need to change clothes? Or maybe put shorts on? I mean I am just wearing my b*a, panty and this baggy shirt.” I thought for a minute. But the hell I care now, so without knocking his door, I barge in his room, he was slightly surprise when he sees me and looks at me without blinking his eyes while still talking on the phone.

I walk towards him, and sit on his lap in a straddling position, wrap my thighs around his waist and my hands around his neck, I lean my head on the crook of his neck and inhales his seductive scent, with my sudden action I thought he is going to pull me away, but instead his free hand wrap around my waist that make me move even closer to him. Our body collides and I can feel his muscular body, I hug him tightly. Then he drops off his phone.

“What are you doing?” He whispers my ear.

I tighten my hands around him, without looking on him, still my head buried on his neck I said,

“I miss you.”
