LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

“She meant everything to me child…and I regret my actions, there has never been a day I don’t blame myself for everything” He explains honestly.

“Was…it true? The accusations?” She asked in a staggered voice.

“No! It wasn’t…it was a setup plan, and she was innocent…a victim to it all” This now only gets her even more confused, as she stares at him for more explanation.

“Dorah set her up…that night, she slept with a man in that hotel, and that man was no other person but me…I was the one who slept with her and I chased her saying she cheated on me…I thought it was Austin, ’cause he’s always been in love with her even before I met her…she chose me, to spend her eternal, to love and adore yet I failed her in the simplest of things, that I promise to be…I failed to become ” Smiles listening to him now was a heartbreaking sight, but something still didn’t feel right.

How could he have been the one yet couldn’t remember?

And what’s Austin’s connection with her mom?

Thinking about it, her discussion with Grandma Shiley came flashing in her head…Austin and Her mom were childhood friends who grew up together but it was so unfortunate that he loved her mom and she didn’t feel the same…now she understands.

Before she could open her mouth to ask, he started answering as if knowing what she aimed to ask.

“That night, we both were drugged and could hardly recognize ourselves. I believed her, I trusted her. That’s why I believe what she told me ” he cries, regretting ever knowing Dorah.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Who are you talking about?” Smiles asked confused as to who he was referring to.

“Dorah…she told me it was Austin in the video and I believe because the video was tempered with” he explains. This got Smiles curious as to who this Dorah lady was to him to the extent he believed her over his own wife.

“And who was she to you? What was her aim in all these?” She asked, urgingly.

“She was a close friend of mine,” he said shortly.

“A friend? That you chose to believe over your wife, the same woman you vow to always love and cherish? To protect till your last breath?” Nothing was making any sense to her. She’s always believed marriage is something that bonds two people together till infinity, something that increases their love and trust for each other…with both willing to be committed but now she understands, that not all glitters are gold.

Mr Wright couldn’t say anything,

guilt written all over his face. His failure will forever haunt him.

“What was her aim in doing all these?” Smiles asked again.

“Me…she was too obsessed with me and her only obstacle to get me was to get rid of your mom” he explains.

“Where is she now?” asked Smiles.

“I don’t know, maybe somewhere in the Warren family…I removed her from my company, not wanting to have anything to do with her,” he explains.

Hearing the Warren family mentioned, Smiles couldn’t be any more hurt than she already was.

The fact that her mom was chased away from her home because of her, someone from the Warren family and she, ended up falling for someone in the Warren family only to be hurt in the end.

And now, the person she loves is madly in love with Lisa, a daughter from the Warren family.

Was her life and that of her mom all about suffering at the hands of the Warren family?

Will she be able to handle all these? To face what her mom has gone through?

’cause the future is already determined, no matter how much she tries to make Keane love her, it will never be her…

There was nothing left to say or do, all she’s come here for has been said.

She stood up from her seat, silently making her way out.

“Won’t you stay a while longer?” Asked Mr Wright “I was hoping to have a daughter and father time with you” he explains.

Smiles was far from wanting to spend the next second with him.

Her life now was way more complicated than she had thought, most especially her love life.

One last glance at him, she walks out without a word.

Mr Wright’s hopeful eyes were hovered with sadness and regrets. He knew this would come but it hurts even more than he’d thought.

Getting back home didn’t take long.

Smiles wrap herself in the thick cover, staring at nothingness.

As much as she wanted to cry, there were no tears left in her tear bag.

The weakness and pain were inevitable in her eyes.

A sudden burst of unrestrained laughter filled the room. Her life now was the one to laugh at.

Hours later, Keane was finally back from work as he sat on his usual spot, with arms spread wildly leaning down on the royal blue sofa.

His relaxed brow suddenly twists as a line appears on his head gazing at the girl who was busily pulling her luggage, all dressed.

Ever since Smiles left the Wright’s mansion, she has been thinking about her life.

After a long thought, she came to a conclusion on leaving. That was the best she could do.

Right now, she can’t face any more surprises and heartaches. Having her said to be familiar and Lisa was enough to keep her pale and skinny talkless of Keane who could make her grow mad in an instant without even trying to.

The fact that she sees Lisa every day and she looks nice as compared to others, trying to be her friend was something she was grateful for and she just can’t bring herself to be the obstacle in her love life.

So much as she wants to be with Keane, and wants him to love her, she just couldn’t wrap her head around hurting another in the process. There is no happiness when you deliberately stab others in the back.

She can’t stand being such a person, she doesn’t want to be like Xena and Dorah. And to not be like them, she decides to go away, to leave for good… she will be better off alone, managing her feelings.
