LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

He thought Lisa was gone not until she popped into the mansion again.

“I came to return this” She placed the ring on the sofa and left.

Nothing matters to him now than to find Smiles, there was nothing he could think of.

It was almost midnight, and he still couldn’t get himself stable.

Leaning back on the sofa, he closes his eyes, trying to get himself to think about the places she might have gone to.

He’s assigned his men to find her and it’s been hours now, and he has basically no clue where she is.

Did she intentionally mean to hide herself from him? ’cause if she did, then she’s succeeding. But that didn’t stop him from wanting to find her, he just can’t hold on anymore longer than he already has… he’s a complete mess without her.

His silence was disrupted by an angry Derrick who pushed through the big door, “How dare you?” He questions angrily.

Derrick was more than angry, the veins popping out on his face was evident.

Firstly, he hurts his sister then Lisa… what worse of a person can he be?

“Stop acting as if I ain’t talking to you, bastard…we all know you aren’t who you’re claiming to be right now,” said Derrick standing before him with clenched jaws and trembling hands.

There was still no reply from Keane. It was as if he wasn’t talking to anyone.

” I regret ever knowing you, Keane… I regret ever thinking of you as my brother” Derrick was angry at his silence.

“Thank God I got her away from you,” said Derrick as he turned and left.

A frown appears on his face at his last word. That could only mean one thing, Derrick knew where Smiles was.

At the thought, he chased after Derrick, not willing to let this opportunity pass by.

Derrick was about to enter his car when he was stopped by Keane.

“Where is she?” Keane asked in a demanding tone as if ordering him to split the bean.

Derrick scoffs with a raised brow “And why should I tell you?”

Keane didn’t know the perfect answer to give, “’cause you have to” That was the only thing he couldn’t think of.

Derrick let out a travesty of laughter. If Keane thinks he will give him Smiles’s location, then he’s bluffing.

“And why would I?” He snorted in disgust.

“If you want me going crazy down the street of New York, then don’t ” Keane’s voice was as though there was no life in it, with eyes begging him to help.

Derrick shrugs,” As if I care” he snorts.

But the moment he saw his face well, he could hardly believe it was Keane… he looked castrated and frustrated as if life was slipping away from him.

Derrick frowns in confusion, “What’s going on, Keane?… I mean I don’t care to know but what the fuck happened between you and Lisa?” He asked demandingly.

Keane runs his hands on his hair, taking in a deep breath.

“Can you please, tell me where Smiles are!” He begs.

He’s got no time for anything that’s not related to Smiles but too bad, Derrick was interested. Seeing Lisa sad and broken was the last thing Derrick could ever wish for her.

So much as he loved his sister, Lisa was an exception. He’s always loved her, secretly though.

“If you ain’t fuckin ready to tell me then fuck off!” He attempts to enter the car only to be stopped by Keane’s words.

“We’ve fuckin broken up ok! Happy now… ?” Said Keane over his voice. He couldn’t keep his cool anymore.

Stunned by his words, Derrick didn’t know how to react. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined Keane breaking up with Lisa, the girl he’s been into his entire life.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Why?” came Derrick’s question.

“I realized I was wrong… I never loved her” Keane explains.

Realization dawns on Derrick as he stares at him with wide eyes, ” Is this why you are asking over Smiles? You’ve fallen for her?” came his question.

Keane didn’t say a word and his silence could only mean he was indeed in love with his sister… he’s fallen for Smiles.

Staring at the man before him, Derrick didn’t want to give him a quick past. Somehow, he was happy he did fall for his sister but on the other hand, he was sad because Lisa was hurt in the process.

He wants both girls’ happiness. There was absolutely nothing he could do, Keane couldn’t possibly have them both and his choice was set, his mind was made up with Smiles. Well, this could be a chance for him to approach Lisa, if only he is ready to give it a try.

“Bastard! Do you fuckin love my sister or not? ” Derrick asked, staring at Keane who didn’t blink and just kept on staring back at him.

” I- I… I think I love her” Keane said, a little unsure of his feelings.

This only made Derrick laugh more, like how can he stand before him and tell him to the face ‘he thinks he loves his sister? ” That’s bullshit.

Derrick’s lips crept up into a smile that wasn’t a smile.

” You can’t think… it’s either you love her or you don’t… love is nothing for an unsure man” he mocks.

” Do you want to hear it… I will tell you then” he pauses, gazing at Derrick with so much confidence.

” I, Keane Austin, son of Austin and grandson of Jimmy, are In Love with Smiles, the sister of Derrick and daughter of Wright… And I stand before you now, begging you to help me see her” For the first time in Keane’s life, he made a speech declaring his feelings for someone.

There was nothing he wanted more than to see her, to make her his…. Only love can make him feel all these strange yet indescribable feelings… Only Smiles could make him feel like that.

“Indeed, he’s truly in love,” thought Derrick, staring at him in disbelief.

Just how much in love was he that he was willing to crawl to his knees for her?

Only he knew the extent of his life for her.
