Ruin The Billionaire

Jake.

The sky was getting darker and the air colder. The streets of New York were full of people scurrying back to their homes as others went to start their work shifts. Traffic had become heavier on the main roads. It was getting to six pm. I watched as Lilly and Kyle got into his car after coming from a restaurant.

My fingers balled into fists and my jaw clenched as I saw them being lovey-dovey. He opened for her the door and she got in happily. I was furious. Despite the evidence i had sent to her, she had continued to be with him. Did she not care about herself? Was she willing to risk it all for that guy? What did he have that other men didn’t? Why would she trust him yet she couldn’t even listen to my explanation.

I was done staying on the side-lines and waiting, hoping that she would have a change of heart and hear me out. I had to take action in order to achieve the results I wanted. I left that place and drove home. When I got home, I dialled her number using my home phone whose number she did not have.

“Hello,” she said softly. Her voice was so sweet I could listen to it all day. Hearing it gave me a boner instantly. My anger increased when I remembered that the undeserving bastard called Kyle Munther was listening to it whenever he wanted. “Who’s this?”

“We need to talk, Lilly.”

“Not you again,” she said before ending the call. Had I been holding a cell phone, I would have thrown it across the room out of anger. I took a deep breath and placed the receiver down.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

What the hell did Kyle have that I didn’t?

If Lilith wasn’t going to listen to me, I was going to have to get Kyle away from her by all means. She may not have cared about her safety, but I did. I was going to ensure that Kyle stayed far away from the woman I wanted.

However, knowing that I could defeat that man did not give me enough reassurance. It irritated me that she was busy enjoying his company. So, I turned to my best friend. Beer.

The house was quiet and all I could hear was conversation between the maids in the kitchen.

“Carrie,” I called out after descending the stairs.

Carrie ran into the living room. “Yes, sir.”

“Please get me some clean glasses. I’ll be in the Ent room.

“Will do, sir.” She said and scurried back to where she came from.

I went to my luxurious entertainment room which had almost all the gadgets imaginable. There was a large screen television set, big audio speakers, gaming consoles, a high tech desktop computer among other things. I even had a bar with several types of drinks and a snacks section that had a popcorn machine. The chairs were very comfortable. I had made it so good that I could stay there all day if I wanted.

At first, everything seemed so great, especially after getting independent from my parents. My friends usually came over to have a good time with me. With time, it didn’t interest me as much as before. It was just that.

My house was big and had all the necessary amenities, but that didn’t make it special. It needed people. Day by day, I was beginning to crave a little family of my own. I wanted a wife and children to add life to the big mansion. Bachelor life had stopped making me happy a long time ago. I was tired and wanted to settle down. Even though I was only 28, the ups and downs of bachelorhood were wearing me down. Casual sex which had thrilled me back then had become boring.

Carrie brought the glasses and served beer. Three years back, I would have tried to seduce her but now even with her pretty face and banging body, I did not feel any desire to have her. I wanted more. And I wanted to explore that possibility with Lilith Hellman. Hopefully, we would work out and be on our way to the altar.

Carrie turned the TV on as I had requested. She handed me the remote and I looked for the channel I wanted while she left, looking slightly disappointed. What was it with some women, thinking every man wanted to jump their bones?

I had just started enjoying a basketball match when I heard the door open. The perfume indicated it was heather. I could hear her heels clicking against the floor as she approached. She came and sat on the couch next to me.

“Welcome back,” I told her. my mother had informed me that she had gone on a vacation in Africa. I had no idea she had already returned. She was looking great with a balanced tan.

“Thank you,” she said.

“How was the trip?”

“It was great. I had a good time. How have you been?”

“Quite alright, I guess. It hasn’t really been a good week for me.”

“Really? I thought you had a great one. Saw you and Ashley Kendall’s photograph.”

I sighed. That was probably why heather had returned so fast. She didn’t want to lose me to Ashley.

“She kissed me. I don’t even like her.”

“But you spent the whole weekend with her,” she accused.

“Are you here to interrogate me or what?”

“We’re friends. You can tell me anything.”

“I know, that’s why I’ve told you the truth. Ashley Kendall is not the woman I want.”

“Does that mean you have your eyes set on a certain woman?”

I nodded.

“Who could that be?”

“I can’t tell you. This is supposed to be top secret until I win her heart. She’s not the easy type.”

“She likes to play to get, huh?”

“No, I don’t think she plays hard to get. She is just hard to get.”

“Lucky woman. Anyway, I came here to give you some company in case you need. I can leave you if you won’t to be alone.”

“No, darling. I don’t want to be alone.” I placed my arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer. “Stay with me. You might be the only friend I can lean on right now. I feel so lonely.”
