LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Smiles wipe away her tears staring at the window trying so hard not to cry out. Her eyes caught sight of someone, it was the lady who bumped into her and didn’t bother to say sorry but that was not her concern, the one thing that caught her attention was…Keane.

He was talking to her, smiling. Strange at what she saw, she turns to Derrick checking if what she’s seeing is only her eyes that are seeing it. He follows her gaze, seeing the two love birds.

Keane looks very happy as if he just started living today. The smile on his face was something Smiles had never seen since she started living with him.

Her gaze never left them, her throbbing heart was as if it would lose functioning if it continued beating.

Nothing was more hurtful than the sight of him, hugging her and opening the car door for her.

The atmosphere becomes even darker when she kisses him.

She didn’t realize her eyes were already teary until she blinked. The tears came rolling down her pale cheeks.

Derrick wasn’t blind to see how hurt she was at the sight of him with Lisa.

“Fallen for him, right?” He asked even though he knew he was right.

She quickly wipes away the tears, smiling.

“Nope…why should I?… our relationship is nothing but a contract, and I dare not fall for him” She explains smiling but deep down, she was dying.

“I see…she’s his ex-girlfriend ” he informs. Smiles gaze that was on the car turns to him, wanting to know more.

“Her face looks familiar!” She murmurs thoughtfully, with twisted brows. It is…wait! It’s the same girl he was with at Mark’s wedding. If she is then why is Derrick saying she just came back two days ago? What’s really going on? She was confused but didn’t want to stress herself on what didn’t matter.

“Why did they break up?” She questions. Derrick just kept on staring at her, not saying anything.

“I mean…he looks so happy with her,” she further explained. He nods.

“Exactly…that’s the same question I keep asking myself…why did they break up? but I got no answer to that…neither of them was willing to say something and I couldn’t go preying the words out of their mouths, it’s their personal life after all” He explains and drinks the wine. Smiles nods thoughtfully.

“I wonder what happened,” she murmurs thoughtfully.

“What?” He asked. She shakes her head in denial and sips on her juice.

“But they look just fine to me. ” She said, licking her lips. Derrick removes the glass from his lips, gulping down the wine in his mouth.

“Yup…maybe they get to fix things out…she just came in two days ago and I am sure they talked things out,” He tells her. Hearing him shatters her already broken heart into millions of pieces. That means, she was the reason he came back home and wasted the last two nights crying and begging like a child.

A smile forms on her lips which later on turns into laughter. She was laughing at no one but herself, how pathetic she is when it comes to love. She promised herself not to fall for him but her stupid heart just couldn’t listen to her and now, here she is about to experience a second heartbreak.

Not her fault, she didn’t intend to love him but now that she’s fallen for him, she is determined to fight for her love.

Even though she knows that his damn heart already belongs to someone else.

Derrick stares at her confused by her sudden laughter.

“You’re ok?” He asked and she nodded.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Sure!” He continues wanting to make sure she’s fine.

“Yeah…I am super good, trust me” she said and raised up her glass initiating a toast which he happily agreed to even though there were still flashes of doubt in her face.

“Your turn!” He informs me. She frowns, not understanding what he means.

“With what?” She asked.

“Tell me about yourself, and more if there is any,” he explains. He purposely changed the topic seeing how different she was behaving after hearing about Keane and Lisa.

“Nothing is interesting about me…” She tells him feeling reluctant to talk about herself.

“Still interested to listen either way,” he said, giving her all his attention.

“I grew up in an orphanage and ran away at age 14, wanting to leave a life different from the one I always heard inside the four corners gates. Then I met Mark, two years later…we started dating and …” she paused before continuing.

“I feel ashamed saying this right now but I will say it anyway…he was actually the one taking care of my needs till I found out about him and Xena…And here I am, you can conclude the rest ” she said in annoyance. It only reminds her of Mark and Xena, the two people she doesn’t want to think or talk about.

“No I can’t…it’s not fair…I just told you all of mine and now you’re expecting me to figure it out, I am not living your life you know” he complains pouting like a child.

She stares at him tirelessly, not knowing how to deal with this baby version of him.

“Fine, don’t eat me raw!” She sighs in irritation.

“That night I caught them, I was so sad but not broken” She emphasizes more on the word sad not broken and he nods.

“I decided to take a shot or two, it was the only thing that could get my mind off their hurtful betrayal…it didn’t go well as if I ended up insulting Keane…” She said reminiscing about the event, she was one hell of a brutal queen back there, willing to kick some balls but instead, she was the one that was kicked in the ass.

“Are you serious, that could have been fun to watch” Derrick exclaimed laughing. She gazes at him with an are-you-serious look, with her mouth twitching to the side.

“I didn’t mean to ok, I was just too drunk to think back then…but I was able to escape him only to find out that he was the one to interview me the next day…worse I lost the job even before I could get it and ended up damaging his car which resulted in me being here today, working for him “She finishes and gulp down her juice cooling down her dry throat.
