Billionaire’s Great Obsession

“Here it is. Bon appetit!” Brianna put the tray down on the table and said with a smile.

Scott sat down by the dining table, had a look, and seemed pleased. “Come here.” He beckoned her over.

“Yes?”

He tapped on his lips with his long slim finger. Brianna understood and gave him a kiss. “Alright, enjoy lunch, and I will see you later.”

Scott watched her leave and soon lost his appetite. He then realized that he had grown used to having her around. But I used to eat alone even when I was with Sol. He was shocked by his own thoughts. Why?

He quickly grabbed the sandwich and took a bite as if to test against his thought. After another bite, he put it back on the plate, finding it tasteless without her around. He thought about her sitting opposite him and how she would pretend to be eating quietly, but now and then, she would take a look at him to see how he felt.

It seemed that she had slowly changed him, and the absence of her upset him. The only time when he used to feel upset was when Sol got sick, and he got worried, but now Brianna was affecting him emotionally.

When Brianna got to the location Jodie sent to her, Jodie had already been there waiting anxiously.

“Hey, Brianna. Here.” Jodie spotted her from across the road and waved at her.

As Brianna came closer, Jodie saw the love bites on Brianna’s neck and shoulders, and she exclaimed in surprise, “Brianna! My goodness. How passionate you two are in bed?!”

Brianna quickly wrapped the scarf around her neck. “Why? No. He bit me to hurt me!”

“Really? But why are you blushing then?” Jodie then thought of herself and Sean and heaved a sigh. “At least you two are married, and however intimate you are, it’s normal, but with me and uncle Sean…”

“Hey, Jodie, it’s actually more hopeful with you and Sean. I’m just a replacement to Scott. As soon as the woman he loves returns, I will have to leave. You see, you and Sean like each other; you care for each other, and that’s what matters.”

“But his parents and sister dislike me. They are horrible to me.” Jodie complained. “You know what, sometimes, I wish uncle Sean would just get married as soon as possible, then I can give him up and move to another country and not see him again. Then, I will forget him one day.”

“Don’t be silly. To really forget someone is to face them, and your heart feels free even when they are around. You can’t forget them by running away from them.”

“Right.” Jodie nodded, feeling encouraged. “Let’s go in then. They are in a private room, and I’ve booked the room next to them. Also, I’ve secretly put a dictaphone in his pocket. Let’s see how it goes.”

“Alright.” Brianna winked at Jodie cheekily, and the two smiled at each other.

What they didn’t know was that someone was watching them closely. He watched them go upstairs and made a phone call. “They are going up to the second floor. Remember to put the drugs in. Put her friend to sleep, and the aphrodisiac is for her. Add extra!” The man said with an evil smile.

As Brianna was with Scott pretty much all the time and Scott’s bodyguards had been doing a great job guarding Brianna, they had been having difficulties finding the chance to harm her. Little did they expect that Sean Smith’s blind date had given them a great opportunity.

The girls each ordered a sandwich and a coffee, but both were too excited to eat. They sipped coffee while listening carefully.

It sounded like Sean wasn’t very enthusiastic. It was the woman that was talking most of the time, trying to make conversation, but Sean was only offering very brief answers and had hardly asked her any questions.

Brianna put her thumb up and said quietly, “Jodie, you can trust Sean.”

“Can I? He has a bloody blind date! This is betrayal.” Jodie said and pouted her lips.

After a while, Jodie started to feel drowsy. She shook her head a few times, trying to keep herself awake, but it didn’t help. She then knocked on her head and said, “This is weird. I’m drinking coffee, but I’m feeling so sleepy. I slept well last night, and I don’t normally nap during the day.”

Brianna didn’t feel drowsy, but she felt hot and thirsty. She downed the coffee and was about to ask for ice water when Jodie suddenly passed out and collapsed on the table.

Shocked and worried, Brianna patted Jodie a few times but in vain. A feeling of unease came over her. She was thinking of carrying Jodie next door to ask Sean for help, but suddenly she felt someone came behind her and before she could turn around to see, a heavy punch fell on her head, and she passed out.

A guy who dressed up as a waiter quickly carried her out of the room.

Brianna woke up to find herself in an abandoned warehouse-like place, both her hands and legs were tied up. It was damp and cold on the floor, and it stunk. Some bugs and worms crawled over her, and she trembled from fear.

There was a huge rusted metal cage nearby, and one could still see the bloodstain on it.

Through the small broken window, some light shone in, but it was too dim to tell if it was morning or evening. Now and then, she could hear chickens, ducks, and pigs, and she realized that it was more likely a slaughterhouse she was in. She wondered how many animals got killed here, and the police would probably never find her if she got slaughtered here and sold to the market.

The thought terrified her.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Who hit me on my head? Who took me here? How is Jodie? She wondered. The back of her head ached terribly. There was dry blood on her hair. She looked at herself and saw that her clothes were filthy. Her bag wasn’t around, which meant she didn’t have her phone and couldn’t contact anyone. She could hardly move, with her limbs securely tied up.
