Billionaire’s Great Obsession

She wiped the tears, cleaned off her face, and walked into the bathroom to re-apply some make-up to help disguise her tiredness. Yet, it didn’t help much. As she walked out of the bathroom, disheartened, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing on the stairs by the fire door.

She knitted her brows. It was Jameson Anderson, leaning against the door, a cigarette in one hand and the other hand in his trouser pocket. He was looking out of the window absent-mindedly.

A young and slim girl wearing sunglasses was standing next to him. She seemed to be speaking to him, but Jameson didn’t seem interested. Suddenly, Brianna recognized the girl. Isn’t she Sophia Moore?! Daughter of the American Mafia boss and younger sister of Jake Moore, who is said to be the best looking man of the year.

As soon as Brianna recognized them, she looked away, hoping to sneak away. I’d better stay away from these two! She thought.

However, she wasn’t quick enough. “Isn’t that my sister-in-law? Why? Are you running away? Do Mrs. Moore and I frighten you? Come over for a chat.” Jameson said casually.

Recalling how Jameson threatened her at lunchtime yesterday and how Sophia intended to slap her and took a photo of her and Jacob yesterday morning, Brianna grew anxious. She pretended that she didn’t hear Jameson and quickened her pace. Even if Jameson Anderson would let me off this time, Sophia Moore, who’s crazy about Scott Anderson, will definitely give me a hard time. Brianna thought as she hurried away. Shit, I shouldn’t have argued with Scott Anderson this morning!

“Brianna, Mr. Anderson and Miss Moore are calling you.” Someone stopped her and said aloud.

Reluctantly, Brianna turned around. “Mr. Jameson Anderson, sorry, I didn’t hear you.”

“My sister-in-law seems to dislike me. She runs away as soon as she sees me.” Jameson mocked.

“Not at all. I didn’t see you, and I am just in a hurry to get back to work.” Brianna said.

“Aha, I see. I thought it was because you saw Sophia, my grandparents’ favorite person, and feel bad that you married my brother.” Jameson went on teasing.

Brianna’s heart sank. His grandparents’ favorite person? They want Scott to marry her?

“Miss Moore, don’t worry. I’m just a temp. Mr. Scott Anderson will get rid of me any time, and you two can still be together.” Brianna said clearly, humbly, hoping that Sophia would understand that she meant no harm.

However, Sophia didn’t take it kindly. She thought Brianna was bragging instead. She sneered and said, “Bitch, you won’t last long. That you and Scott have registered doesn’t mean that you are part of the Andersons as long as Scott’s grandparents disagree! Even Sol Keaton couldn’t marry into the Andersons, let alone you. You are just a nobody girl.”

“Right. I’m just a nobody girl. So I know very well that I am just a temp. Have a nice day, Miss Moore.” Brianna replied calmly and turned around to leave.

“Now that you know that you are a nobody, then fuck off and don’t let me see you again!” Sophia shouted after Brianna loudly and angrily. Startled, people turned to look.

Brianna had her pride. Though she didn’t have the guts to show it to Scott, well, except this morning, she wasn’t afraid of others. Also, she remembered Scott once warned her that she could not allow anyone to bully her or take advantage of her.

Therefore, she turned around, facing Sophia, lifting her chin up, and retorted, “Miss Moore, please have some self-respect. I might not be qualified to be Mr. Scott Anderson’s wife, but it seems like however hard you have tried and flirted, he won’t even take a look at you. Aren’t you being too positive to dream about marrying into the Andersons?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Five years ago, Sophia lost Scott to Sol, a fragile girl whom Scott’s grandfather disliked. And now Scott has married a nobody girl instead of me! She thought angrily.

Enraged, Sophia marched towards Brianna and lifted her hand up to give her a slap on her face.

Brianna dodged swiftly and instantly, she gave Sophia a hard slap back, and it landed hard and loud on Sophia’s face. Brianna was, in fact, still feeling upset about what happened in the morning, and now the chance for her to vent had come.

Sophia stared at Brianna, open-mouthed. Jameson, who was smoking and watching quietly, was also shocked. Aha, she isn’t just a meek little girl. She’s got teeth and claws. Jameson’s face lit up, rather amazed by Brianna’s reaction.

He knew very well how peculiar and picky Scott was with women. In the past years, Scott had not shown any interest in any woman except Sol Keaton. When Jameson heard that Scott was married, he was very surprised and very curious to know who the woman was.

He didn’t think much of Brianna after meeting her the first time, but now he realized that there was something about her. It wasn’t merely because of her look.

Sophia Moore and Sean Smith had never met Sol Keaton, but Jacob and Jameson had. Scott took Sol home once, and it was that one time when Scott had a serious fight with his grandfather and ended up leaving the family, leaving Las Vegas, eloping with Sol, without taking a cent from the family, to start his own business.

If Scott is as passionate about this girl as Sol Keaton, then however strong he is, I can use this girl to defeat him, and I will have the chance to take over the Andersons Corporation. Jameson thought.

Before long, a crowd had gathered around. Some were worried that Brianna and Sophia would start a fight and didn’t want to get involved, so they hurried off, while others were too curious not to stay and watch. “Brianna and Mr. Scott Anderson are married?!” They murmured.

“I thought the senior Mr. and Mrs. Anderson wanted their grandson, Mr. Scott Anderson, to marry Sophia Moore, daughter of the American Mafia boss.”
