LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Derrick watches her eat with so much hurriedness as if been ordered to.

He knows Keane will punish her if she is late but she shouldn’t kill herself at the expense of another’s. She needs time to eat properly at least, that he believed. Little did he know what was at stake if she broke any of his rules.

“Slow down, you might choke from eating too much,” he complains, worries written all over his face.

“Then at least, I will die a good death!” She said and continued eating. Derrick didn’t like her words but couldn’t do otherwise.

They walked out of the restaurant and stood by the roadside.

“My God, I feel so full now…I won’t eat again for the next one week” she said, rubbing her flat tummy. Derrick smiles at her cuteness, she grabs his arms, resting her body on him. She has always been relaxed beside him but now, she is even more relaxed.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Oh my! See who we found Honey, it’s Smiles!” A voice came from behind, grabbing the attention of the two people who were about to cross the road.

It was no other person but Xena, who sneered at her. Mark stood by her with her hands on his, staring at Smiles as if trying to convey her message.

Smiles wasn’t surprised seeing them, it was what she was expecting.

“Hi, Mr. and Mrs. Warren, what a surprise. Good to see you after your lovely wedding, trust you taking care of him, ’cause he seems to be going off boundaries, searching for a good comforter” She said in a sarcastic tone. Xena knew what she was talking about, as she grinds on her teeth.

“Of course, I am more than capable of handling my load in a single basket” Xena replied with a smiling face but deep down, she was fuming in anger.

“Nice…pardon my manners, this here is Derrick, my brother” She introduced.

“Who on earth doesn’t know Derrick, the son of Simon Wright and the only heir to the Wright’s Enterprise? Of course, we do” Xena stretches out her hand for a handshake but he just brushes it off, leaving her hand hanging in the air. With a smiling face, she retracted her hand.

Smiles heard her turn to Derrick, surprised by what she heard. She can’t let Xena see the shock on her face so she quickly brushes it off and puts on a smiling face.

“Right…since you know him, we should start going so the couples can have the day all to themselves,” Smiles said and pulled on Derrick’s arms. Xena stood there, gazing at the two people leaving, with so much jealousy. She can’t believe Smiles had a chance with Derrick, how did she do it? She is aware of how naive she is to talk less about seducing someone like Derrick. “And wait, did she just call him brother? It can’t be right?”

“Yes it can’t ” she consoles herself, believing in what her instinct is telling her. Little did she know that Smiles wasn’t with Derrick but rather she was with Keane, the king in the business world she has been praying to just have a feel of his hands.

She turns to Mark who just stood there, staring at Smiles without a word.

“Why didn’t you say something?” She asked. Mark didn’t bother replying and just walked away leaving her frustrated.

“Mark, I am talking to you, don’t walk out on me” she yells angrily. She is aware that Mark still loves Smiles and he only got married to her because his parents chose her for him, just to fulfill their wish.

She loves him and every time she is faced with Smiles, she always finds herself competing with her even though he is already hers.

He doesn’t even treat her like how a husband should treat a wife, even going out with her is too much for him to do. Thanks to his grandma, he agreed to take her shopping but didn’t even participate or even make a choice as she was picking out dresses. She is determined to get his love, in all courses.

She glanced at the company once again before following Mark who was already seated in the car impatiently waiting for her.

Smiles quickly push Derrick away when he enters the elevator. He almost fell, but thanks to the walls, he didn’t.

“What have I done this time?” He asked surprised as to why she pushed him with so much anger.

A burst of sarcastic laughter escapes her lips, and she stares at him with an unfathomable gaze.

“I have always been doubting you, asking myself a series of questions but now I know,” she said. This time, it was Derrick who stared at her confused and clueless about what she was saying.

“I always wonder how a mere assistant like you will have so much impact and wealth to spend, only now I know who you are.. the heir to the Warrens’ wealth and properties…” She continues. He stood there, staring at her with no words.

“I wish I got this from you, directly…I wish she wasn’t the one I got it from…why didn’t you tell me?” She cries. Nothing hurts her more than the fact that it was Xena who told her and Derrick didn’t even make a sound.

Derrick felt guilty for not telling her anything about himself, well not like he didn’t want to but he thought it just wasn’t the right time.

He wanted to say otherwise, to explain things to her but the angry girl left even before he could open his mouth to utter a word.

For him, it was nothing. Just a name and title he bears but seeing her cry like that, only made him even more confused. It was as if he hit her.

Smiles weren’t angry. She was just sad he didn’t tell him, that she got to learn the truth about him from another. Why didn’t he tell her? Was he somehow scared that their relationship would be affected? And for what reason should their relationship be affected?
