Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

The sun was already up when she opened her eyes. She squinted and jerked up when she realized it was afternoon.

“Holy crap. I’m late for work”

There was no one beside her, and she was stark naked. She felt so sore and found it extremely hard to move. He was such a beast, she had no idea his cock was going to fit into her. She stood up, only for Jared to come out of the bathroom in just a towel. She quickly went under the blanket.

“Whatever it is you are hiding, I already saw everything yesterday”

“Why didn’t you wake me up?”

“You looked tired and was sleeping so soundly that I couldn’t bring myself to wake you up”

“And whose fault was that? Where are my clothes?”

“I had someone get you a new dress” he passed her a shopping bag.

“Turn around” he nodded and did as he was told. She covered herself with the heavy blanket and entered the bathroom holding the bag.

“Where are we headed?” She asked the moment she entered the car.

“I’ll give you the day off”

She nodded. Her eyes strayed to the front seat where Will sat. Their eyes met in the mirror before he quickly looked away.

“Let’s go”

“I forgot to ask, where is my phone?”

He dipped his hand in his pocket and handed it to her.

She switched it on, and it was immediately flooded with messages and missed calls. They were all from Layla. She must have been worried.

She sent her a message and received a reply almost immediately.

“Consider yourself dead”

She smiled and turned off her phone. She suddenly remembered something.

“Wait! Stop the car!”

Jared nodded at Will, who stopped.

“What is it?”

“I need to get something. I’ll be back soon”

She left the car. Jared narrowed his eyes when he saw her enter a pharmacy. She returned with a small bag.

“What is that?”

“They are contraceptive pills. It’s best to be on the safer side”

He said nothing all through the ride.

“Is something wrong?” She asked when she sensed his foul mood.

“No. We are here already”

She alighted. “See you tomorrow”

He nodded, and she watched them drive off.

She knocked and turned the knob. It opened. She found the house empty. Was Layla not home? Why was the door not locked? She was about to call her name when she felt something swoosh past her face before hitting the floor. She looked up and saw Layla in the middle of the stairs with her hands crossed.

“Were you really going to hit me with that pillow?”

“You are lucky I didn’t find something else in sight? Where have you been?”

“You only told me you were going somewhere with your boss, you….. wait, were you with him all along? Alone!”

“I… we had a meeting after the ball and I forgot to tell you”

“Why weren’t you picking your calls then?”

“Well, we were instructed not to do so as it was a very important meeting?”

Layla eyed her suspiciously. “Really?”

“Yes”

“This should not happen again. You should at least send a message. My hair might start turning gray at this point”

The next day, they kept stealing glances at each other during the meeting with the shareholders.

She received a text from him.

“See me after work” she shook her head. She was going to do that when she knew what was on his mind. So immediately work hours were over, she bolted. She had only walked a few feet when she was suddenly whisked into a car.

“Let go of me!” Two huge men were sitting beside her and one was on the wheels. They acted like she didn’t exist at all.

They arrived at a restaurant and towards a private room. Jane sat elegantly at the table. Valerie was forced to her knees.

“So it’s you”

“Yes. Are you surprised? For someone who goes around, flirting with other people’s men, you should expect such”

“Still, you have no right to bring me here. This is kidnap”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

The moment she finished speaking, Jane’s hand made contact with her face, making a clear mark.

“That is the prize you get for coveting what is mine. This is just a warning, though. I will not say much. Know. Your. Place. Take her out”

She returned home looking lost and met Layla in the living room. It was too late to hide.

“What is that on your face?”

“It’s nothing” she turned away. Layla stood up and walked up to her.

“Did someone hit you?”

“No. I hit my face against something”

“This is a clear handprint on your face. Who did this?”

“It’s… Jane”

“Jane? Your boss’s fiancée?”

“Yes”

“I will fucking kill her” she went towards the door, but Valerie quickly held her back.

“No! Please. Let’s not escalate this”

“Just look at your face. It is swelling”

“Ice pack will do. Just don’t make a mess out of this. Also, I don’t want my boss to know”

“Why? He should. He should know what kind of monster he is getting married to”

‘Jane, just you wait’ she said in her mind.

Valerie successfully covered the mark with the help of make – up. On her way to work, she stopped at a cosmetic store to get a new lipstick and was on her way out when she saw a beautiful, elegant woman standing beside a car. She was probably in her Middle Ages. Valerie noticed a man not too far from her in a thick black jacket and a cap. In one swift movement, the woman’s purse was hijacked. The woman was dumbfounded and could not react immediately, but Valerie was fast. She took off her heels and ran after the man. She had dropped out of the sports club during high school and her performance had become rusty, but she kept running.

“Hey! Stop!” She was getting tired, but heaven was on her side, the man had reached a dead end.

“See you can’t escape. Hand the purse over”

The man tried to play smart and run away, but she dragged him down, taking the item forcefully from me. “Now all I have to do is to call the police and get your ass in the cell”

“Please, don’t call the police. My daughter is sick, and she needed money for surgery. I have no job. Please don’t report me” he pleased. The woman had arrived behind them. Valerie snorted.

“I know people like you. Trying to gain sympathy with such a stupid story”

“I’m not lying. There is a picture of her in my pocket”

She dipped her hand in his pocket and brought out a photograph. It was a picture of him and a little girl in a hospital gown.

“Still this is wrong. I’ll let you go”

Valerie turned and handed the purse to the woman.

“Thank you” she nodded and walked away. The woman turned to the shivering man on the floor, opened her purse and gave him some money. Take care of your child with that and stop stealing”

Without waiting, she ran after Valerie.

“I should thank you properly” she extended some money to her.

“No, ma’am. I can’t take this. I did this because I wanted to”

“Okay then. What is your name?”

“It’s Valerie”

“Valerie?”

“Yes. Valerie Gardner”

“Oh. I’m Zoey. Zoey Anderson. Nice to meet you”

“It was a pleasure to meet you, too. I’m late for work. I need to leave”

“I can drive you”

“No that is not necessary. My workplace very near. Have a pleasant day” she turned around and left.
