Married To An Old Billionaire, In Love With His Son

“Now tell me, where are you coming from?” Helen blocked my way from coming in.

“But the driver just brought me here”

“And I also know that you can call him whenever you are ready” She replied; “So tell me why are you just coming?”

“Is Mr Maya around?”I whispered to her.

“Hell no! You and him are acting like one cheating couple, he is not back and look at you too, you are just coming… you know I have been suspecting you since yesterday ” She said and I rolled my eyes.

“Yeah, you are right. I have a boyfriend ” I said jokingly so that she stop blocking my way and it worked.

So I ran up the stairs quickily

“I knew it! Who is he?” She asked me.

“I would let you know when the time comes” I hollared.

“Oh My God Eve”

“Gist me about Mr Maya instead” I told her when we got to my room.

“That man, he woke up at exactly 10am..” She said and I laughed.

“He asked of you and I told him, you have left for work… you need to see the way he was just perambulating here and there” Helen explained laughing and I did too.. “Then he started rushing to leave home for work”

“He came to the company” I told Helen.

“Is it where you and Liam work at?” She asked..

“Yeah.. And he doesn’t remember what happened last night”

“That’s how the drug works” Helen said.

“You didn’t tell me that’s how it works, I just had to  fabricate a story that we had s*x and foolish him, he believed”

“Oh My God” Helen was laughing like..

“But then, he said he is gonna have me in his bed again tonight?” I said; looking worried.

“Are you scared?”

“Sort of”

“Scared of what Eve? the pills is in abundant, there’s absolutely nothing to be worried about”

“We are gonna make him sleep off again?”

“Of course” She replied.

“Well, Liam said it’s Self defense” That sentence slipped

“What… Liam knows?”

“No.. who mentioned Liam?” I lied as I laughed in an abnormal way.

“I thought you did”

“No I didn’t” I told her..”I’ld love to join you in the kitchen as soon as I am done showering ” I added quickly; pushing her slightly out of my room.

“Alright. I’ll be waiting for” Helen said as she walked out.

Liam’s POV

I wondered what I could do to help Eve catch up with her long time, best friend. Mrs Pitt’s daughter whom Mrs Pitt wouldn’t give her number to Eve.

Since I had Mrs Pitt number, I decided to put a call to her.

~ “Hello, am I speaking with the CEO of withney company?” I said into the phone.

~”Yeah..” I recognised Mrs Pitt’s voice.

~”I am Liam; Mr Maya’s son”

~”Oh Liam, it’s nice meeting you today, I forgot to tell you that. I’ve been yearning to meet you again ever since you left for the college” She added.”How is your father?” She asked me

~ “How is your daughter?” I asked her almost at the same time.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

~  “You mean Janet?, Do you know Janet?”

~ “Well no, I am only aware that you have a daughter”

~”Oh… Janet is fine and.. and she is single!” I heard her laughing in a weird manner.

~ “It’s… It.. is good to know..” I said; “But I don’t know Janet, can I like…”

~ “Yes you can” She said…”I know you want her number right? I would send it to you immediately, so get acquainted as soon as possible.. and just so you know, Janet love making friends.. with someone like you” She added laughing weirdly.. And I laughed too as if I am interested.

“Okay, Thank you”

“Have a lovely night Liam”

“You too ma’am” I told her then I ended the call..

Shortly, my phone beeped.. It was a Text message from her,… She sent my Janet’s number and I wasted no time, I forwarding the message to Eve.

~ “Hello Eve” I called her shortly after sending her a message.

~ “, Hey Liam”

~”Did you receive the message I just sent to you now?”

“Yeah what’s the digits all about?”

“Janet’s number?”

“Janet’s number?”

“Yeah, how did you get it?”

“I have my ways. Mrs Pitts gave it to me without so much stress..” I said.

“Oh My God” She exclaimed.

“Thank you so much Liam”

“What are friends for? Best friends?” I giggled.

“Yeah, Liam I am so happy. I would get in touch with you later” She said and hung the call

I don’t know why I felt so happy that I did something that could make her so glad. I dropped my phone as I headed into the bathroom.

But then, my phone suddenly rang.

Clara! Clara?

I already deleted her number though, so that I won’t feel the urge to call her yet I know those digits by heart.

What does she want from me now?

At first I didn’t want to pick up her call but I reluctantly did when the phone started ringing again.

~ “Hello Clara” I spoke sheepishly.

~ “Liam” She called her name.

I have missed that sweet voice of hers.

~”How are you doing Liam?” She asked me.

~”I am…” I pursed. “I am fine”

~ “Liam I am sorry for the other day, I just..”

~”What do you want from me now?” I cut her off and I heard her sigh.

~ “Can you make it to my wedding day?” She asked me.

~”What on earth? Is that why you called me?”

~”I couldn’t give you the invitation card, the last time we met and we probably may not meetagain. This is the only way I can invite you..” She said.

I didn’t say anything… I doubt if she feels sorry for me at all.

~”Well, the wedding is on the fifth day of next month at Royal’s hall. Will you be there?” She asked

~ “I won’t be there Clara” I retorted brusquely.

~”Ohh” She said.”That’s bad” She added.

~ “Can I end the call now?” I asked her.

~ “Are you still mad at me Liam?” She asked… but I didn’t say anything for a while until she called my name “Liam”

~”No I am not” I responded; “Infact, I have moved on too” I lied.. “With someone better than you” I was only telling lies to her but I was already imagining Eve as the person who I have moved on with.. Probably because she was there for me and was ready to listen to me..

And..

~”Liam” She called my name again.

I wasn’t even listening to her.

~”I just said that I cannot make it to your wedding. So Bye” I hung the call angrily.

I probably need to get a new girlfriend, so that I can forget about her forever.

Yet I was afraid to start a fresh relationship; Clara has thought me a big lesson.. never to trust or love too much. Somehow, I knew that the long distance was the barrier but I am ready to settle down with her, be with her 24-hours then the sad shit came up.
