Married To An Old Billionaire, In Love With His Son

Eve’s POV

I talked to my Dad perfunctorily when I got home, we didn’t even discuss about Mr Maya, I acted as if I was cool with it. Of course, I was sort of rest assured after speaking with Janet that evening. Tomorrow, I’ll make sure I let her know that I love the advice and I’m doing exactly what she said..

“Dad Here’s Supper” I announced, showing him the food flask Janet gave to me. I guess we will have to manage it.

“Eat dear. I’m fine” He said.

“Why? Have you eaten anything? Remember you can’t take drugs if you do not eat”

“I’m satisfied. I’ve eaten”

“What? I haven’t cooked anything yet”

“I ate out, I’ve spent the money he gave to me”

I knew immediately that he was referring to Mr Maya.. That old man.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Dad is just so wasteful, I felt like bombarding him with words but I just couldn’t, he is still my lovely Dad.. I’ll forgive him a million time for he doesn’t know what he’s doing. I fought back my tears, ate and think hard about my life, I didn’t know when I doze off.

“Is my woman prepared?” Mr Maya said.

Oh geez this marriage stuff occupied my mind that I’m even dreaming of him.

What a fool is he making of himself, imagine him already calling me his woman already… Ugh.

By the way, prepared for what?

“Eve.. Eve wake up, it’s time. He’s here..” I heard my Dad’s voice from few distance away.

What’s going on? Wait.. I opened my eyes immediately and heard their voices loud and clear. My father and Mr Maya.

God, so it wasn’t a dream. I rushed out of my room quickly only to see Mr Maya and My Dad.

“You are moving with Mr Maya to his place today” My Dad announced.

“Why??” I blurted.

“C’mon dear. It’s alright. Didn’t your dad tell you about it before now? You are leaving with me today” He said as he came closer to me.

I’m not his dear. You pervert! Pedophile!

“Daddy you didn’t mention any of this yesternight”

“I thought you have agreed and you said your farewell to your friend yesterday!”

“Noo” I shook my head.

“Well you are leaving with him today” He said.

“Daddy, I’m not prepared at all..”

“You don’t need to take anything along. We would stop by a mall and you pick whatever you want” Maya said smiling and I scorned at him and walked away.

“This is not what we agreed on Joe” Maya yelled at my Dad in a harsh tone.

“I gave you $50 yesterday. Tell me what’s going?” He shouted at him. “Will you return my $50 now?”

“Err… Eve is surely gonna be yours” My Dad stammered.

He has spent the money the shameless old man gave to him yesterday, so there’s nothing he could do except another debt.

“What do you mean? Didn’t you see that she just walked out of me, She is never interested! I paid you to woe her to be mine! Where is my money?!” He continued to yell at Dad.

“Stop yelling at my father!” I showed up suddenly!

“I just wanna have my bathe first then follow you” I said.

“Happy? Now leave my Dad alone” I shouted at him then I left their sight.

When I was done, I gave my Dad a warm hug, told him to take good care of himself and I made sure thatMr Maya gave a huge sum of money, some foods too and the necessary drugs he needed.

“I will try my best to visit you once in a while” I told my Dad then turned to Mr Maya.

“May I go see a friend first before leaving with you?” I asked him.

“No” He blurted..

“I.. I mean, my house is far away from here that’s why I came here very early. Everyone is waiting for you at home, we shouldn’t delay them” He added..

I nodded slowly and fought back my tears, then followed him to his car.

“You would soon like me baby girl, it’s just a matter of time” He smiled and drove his car.

He tried to start a conversation with me but I didn’t reply him… And I heard him growling like an animal and he drove recklessly.

“Why do you want to marry me Mr Maya?” I finally spoke to him and he cleared his throat and smiled mischievously.

“Uhm Eve, I’m not a bad man as you think I am” He said.

“That’s not the question I asked you” I fired back.

“Okay Okay. Easy girl. I’ve been married before. Uhm thrice” He Said.

“Three times?” I exclaimed.

“Yeah I have. My first legal wife died” He said.

“What do you mean Legal?”

“Errm… I.. mean my first wife, she left me with two children. She died” He said but I showed no sigh of sympathy, what if he is lying.

“My other wives were only after my money. My kind of women didn’t love me but my money and most of them were married. That’s why I want you Evie, you know little about money, so I’m using the opportunity to help you and your father, It rare to find my peer who is not married, that’s why I choose you” He said and I scoffed.

“Why do you want to marry me Mr Maya?” I asked again.

Yeah all what he spew just now is nonsense.

“I think You need some time to calm down” He said and paid no attention to me.

He soon stopped driving when we got to a big boutique.

“I promise you a graceful shopping” He said.. shoving out his credit card and giving it to me.

“This is just a little way to show you I’m serious about taking care of you. Now go i’ll be waiting in the car. Go get yourself some nice outfits” He said.

I looked at him with disgust in my eyes before receiving the card from him rudely then I got off the car and walked straight into the boutique.

I bought few clothes, good thing his card went through. I was about to walk out of the boutique, when a thought niggled at me. I paused for a while…. to give it a thorough thinking.

*Should I run away with his credit card? He is a billionaire, he might have very much money in here?*

*But what if he has very limited money in this card?*

*Of course he is a billionaire, he would surely have more than one credit cards*

If I run away right now, he would find me.. or attack My Dad.

I sighed.

“Hey dear, are you done shopping?” I saw the old fool walking up to me.

I gave a eye roll and walked ahead of him.

~ “What’s with that girl”

~”She lacks manners”

~”I dare not walk out of my grandfather” I overheard some girls gossiping.

They know nothing! He is not my grandfather!

I felt like yelling the exact thing to them but it’s a shame on my part.. I’m married to this old man because of his money.

Well Mr Maya himself smiled, so that no one would suspect anything then he caught up with me.

“You bought only few clothes” He said checking out the handbag with me and trying to be all nice.

I scoffed.. “Don’t blab. Let’s leave already Mr Maya!” I shouted.

~”He might be her driver most probably”

~”Even though!”

~”It’s wrong to shout at an old man, that girl needs to be taught some lessons!” Those girls said and passed by us..

Arrrrgh! They should just mind their business already.

Mr Maya opened the door of his car and let me go in first before entering the driver seat then drove off immediately.

“You know you would need more clothes” He said.

“Here” I gave him his credit card.

“You can keep with you. You might need somethings, anytime” He said and I tried to hide my smile.

He practically just left some dollars with me. Oh My God.

But does this old man really love and trust me like he claims?

Or he is just a fool, that’s why women keep running away with his money or could he be up to something?

I still don’t get his point.

Why does he want me?

I’m only twenty… And he is most likely close to his fifties.

This is child abuse, incase he doesn’t know.

Sad thing, he won’t help Dad and I for free.
