THE BILLIONAIRE CONFESSION

CH.XVIII

Timothy watched as Hailey slept all

the way to his home all he could

think was how he would face her

questions, how he would tell her

that he loved her that he wanted

her to stay near him all the time. He

drove through the city to his place.

he stopped by the signal just a mile

away from his penthouse all he could

think is how much someone became

so important in his life, he never

thought he could ever love someone

after his mother left him but when

he saw Hailey, there was a small

voice in the back of his head nagging

him to be near her, to listen to her

talks, to spoil her. He was not a good

guy, he did wrong things to others.

But for some reasons he didn't want

Hailey to see that side of him.

Timothy slowly picked Hailey from her

seat making sure she didn't wake up,

carrying her in his arms until he

reached guest room.

He laid on the bed and silently

walked back.

There were lots of thoughts running

in his mind all he could think at

that moment was how did she

feel? did she kiss him back just

because she didn't wanted him to

feel bad, or was it real one, where

she actually wanted him to be there

to protect her ? Although she didn't

talk anything about the kiss maybe

that's what she wanted, she didn't

want to recall it or was ashamed of

what happened. Damn it this is so

Confusing. He never thought having

a girlfriend would be so clear yet

confusing.

where is she ?" Michael came in and

asked.

"sleeping"

They sat in silence for a minute and

Michael asked breaking the silence.

" What are you thinking ?"

"Nothing." Timothy was angry, confused

and worst of all he was helpless.

Hailey was sleeping but soon he

has to face her and he didn't know

how to. He wanted to know what

happened between her and Frank but

he also wanted to talk about the kiss they shared.

Timothy, do you wanna know about

my sister ?" He wanted to know

everything about her, every small

detail, her likes-dislikes. Her

childhood, everything.

Timothy just gave a nodded.

"Hailey was my dad's favorite, when

she was born I was 4. she is the

princess of our house. she hates dolls

and toys. when she was 15 she once

saw me train with dad, from that

day onwards it was her dream to

fight like dad. She always asked me

to teach her some moves and tricks.

She fancied to learn how to box. I

always denied her thinking that she

will hurt herself but Hailey being a

wicked little girl got under my skin.

let me quote what she said."

Mich what if someday you and dad and

mom are all out and I am alone at

home and someone breaks in'

Don't worry sweet pea we won't

leave you alone," I said back.

what if my exams are going on and

you are at university and mom and

dad are out on a dinner,"

trust me no one can win from her

in arguments. So at the end she won

and I had to teach her. She was so

happy when I said that I will help her

learn boxing.

Michael smiled remembering the day

when he said yes to her and she

jumped up and down and hugged

him.

"watching her smile is the only

that matters in my life. She was 18

when Frank joined the league. I used

to hate him he always had a reason

to walk in the house. And as per

the rules no one I mean absolutely

no one was allowed in the house

from the league. My mom was

totally oblivious to the fact that my

father was underground wrestler

and he picked fights. she thought

that he is a mechanic and owed a

garage. She still thinks that. Hailey

was never allowed to talk to guys

naturally because she was beautiful

and innocent. Frank took advantage

of that and got close to her. so close

that he made her think that we

are not allowing her to talk to guys

purposely, he started filling her head

with wrong facts about dad and me.

In fact he managed to make her go

against the rules and took her out

in the middle of the night in the frat

parties. she never had alcohol in her

life and he made her drink those.

She came home drunk. Dad was so

angry on her for the first time. she

was grounded later. but she never

told dad that Frank initiated all these.

I know that because I saw her going

out with him. I warned her but she

would not listen to me. she thought

I was just being paranoid and don't

allow her to do things that other girls

do."

" She started falling for him isn't it ?"

Timothy asked .

" yes, she used to defend him

every time. I hated that because I

knew he would break her heart. So

as a brother that last option I had

was to talk to Frank about this."

"He put a good act saying that

he loves her and want her. That

motherfucker actually said that he

will do anything to get her."

my dad was not happy about it so

naturally he refused to accept the

relation in between them. it was my

mom who was always looking good

in the people. Hailey got her angel

genes from my mother. Hailey can

find goodness even in a demon.

my mom convinced my father me

to let her ho and accept him. My

father accepted him just because

my mother. Hailey was happy

everything was going good. I don't

what happened, one night she just

ran away and it was yesterday

we saw her after 8 months." Michael

Continued.

" few weeks ago he came by to find

her but when he couldn't, the bitch

dared to say that she cheated on him

and had an affair with other guy

and she ran away with him, just like

she did with Frank. I know she would

not even think about other guy, I

know that cause she is so innocent

and dumb that once even in her

open book test she answered every

question without looking in the

book.

Me and dad never believed his story

and we started searching in every

Country we thought we would find

her but we didn't until yesterday

when you called. I wish she would

have listened to me or dad. People

think that she is weak but she is the

strongest person I known."

"I am sorry. I didn't listen to you. you

were right and so was dad. That's

why I was Scared that if I go back to

the house you will not accept me and

I was so ashamed of myself and my

decisions that even after warning

was did the one thing I was told

not to. " Hailey's soft voice filled the

room.

Both Timothy and Michael turned and saw

her standing on the stairs with her

head hanging low and the curtain

of her hair covering her face, Michael

walked to her lifted her face and saw

her eyes moist.

" Hey sweet pea, no matter what

happens I would never leave your

side. You get that?" He saw a tear

slip from her eyes on her cheeks. he

brushed them and held her close to

him.

"and Mich-" she looked up to him and

said "-I am not dumb !!"

Michael looked down and gave a

sheepish grin.

"Why did you run away from him ?

You loved him." That Timothy this time.

he was angry that she had to go

through this.

"Yes, princess why did you run away ?"

"Can we just forget...

" No we can't, he is coming to get

you. If you don't tell us the reason

then how are we going to stop him ?"

" Sweet pea, he will feed us lies again

and if we don't know the truth then

we can't do anything."

" fine. But promise me that you both

will listen to everything I say and

won't interrupt me ?"

"yes promise." I am said.

"Timothy ?

yes."

promise?"

promise."

"Okay, so I start with the day we first meet."
