Ruin The Billionaire

Jake.

It had been a week and I had not heard from Lilly. She had blocked me so I couldn’t call or send message her. Before I met Lilith Hellman, I had never been that bothered about a woman not wanting me. It had always been so easy for me. There were so many beautiful women who wanted me. All I had to do was just pick my flair of the month. They were still there, always on standby, wiling to satisfy each and every need of mine.

Now, for the first time in my life, I wanted one specific woman and thought I couldn’t be happy without her in my life. I was pvssy whipped, as Johnny would say. I had always made fun of my friends who fell in love with certain girls and acted like those were the only girls in the universe. I had no idea how it felt like.

Now, I was beginning to understand them. There is a way your soul can just pine for this one person. When everything about this one person makes you smile. You could just think of their name and find yourself smiling happily. At first, I thought I was crazy. I tried to do everything possible to get Lilith out of my mind but it was proving to be an impossible mission.

I always thought of her, wondered how she was doing. What did she think about me? The picture of me and Ashley kissing had made it to the media and speculations started. When I was asked to comment, I declined. Ashley went on TV and neither confirmed nor denied anything. It was clear she wanted people to think we were together. I despised her. She was worse than Heather.

Heather was not around that week, and my mother was quite busy running some campaign with her friends. I tried my best to avoid her when she was at home.

Eventually, I had enough. It was a Sunday evening when I decided to pay Lilly a visit. I dressed up in the most inconspicuous way possible so as not to be recognise. I wore blue jeans and a black t-shirt. On top of that, I wore a black jacket and a cape. I then found a pair of shades and wore them.

My driver almost didn’t recognize which was a good thing. The last thig I needed was the attention of paparazzi. We drove to a car dealership, left my car there and got into a cheaper looking one which to us to her apartment building.

As I walked inside, my heart beat with anticipation. Finally, I was going to see the face of the woman who wouldn’t let my heart rest. I had missed her a lot. A glance at her would be good for my soul.

When I reached the door, I stood for a minute before ringing the bell. A few seconds later, the door opened. Lilith’s eyes widened when she saw me. I smiled. She looked very soft and beautiful. I wanted to pull her body close to mine.

“What do you want, Jake Rylland?” Lilith asked. She looked at me like I was the most disgusting thing in the world and it hurt. I did not like it at all. She needed to know the truth as soon as possible.

“We need to talk,” I said.

“Haven’t you done enough?” she asked. “Do you think I’m going to ever want to talk to you again after all the games you have played? You never give up, do you? You want to see me totally broken and crushed. But, I will not give you that chance.”

“It’s not what you think, Lilly. What you saw did not mean anything to me. That woman kissed me. If you want, I can get the security footage to prove.”

Shit! How had I not thought of that? Getting the footage would have solved it already. She would believe me.

“You must think I’m really stupid, don’t you? You hurt me enough already. Yes, I was hurt. You must be satisfied. Now leave me alone and never come back here.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“I can’t leave you alone,” I said, shaking my head.

“Babe, who’s that?” A male voice called out.

Babe? Who the hell was in my woman’s house?

“It’s just some salesman,” she said. “Go now.”

“No,” I said.

She attempted to close the door but I blocked that. She sighed and withdrew her hand.

“My love, this man won’t go away.”

I wanted to see this person who wanted to take Lilly from me. I saw a small guy walking out of the bedroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. I felt a pang of jealousy. I wanted to barge in and beat him to a pulp but restrained myself. It wouldn’t do both of us any good. It would worsen things for me.

The man looked surprised to see me.

“Mr. Rylland,” he said. “I’m so sorry to come out like this. I had no idea it was you.”

“Oh, have we met? I was just leaving.”

“Yes, I worked in one of your hotels. Riverside.”

A former employee? I hoped Lilith had not told him everything about us. He seemed to be a good chap, though. Or maybe he was just being respectful.

“That’s great. It was nice meeting you. Enjoy your evening, both of you.”

“Won’t you come in for a cup of coffee?” he asked with confidence.

Lilith glared at him and he cowered. Not wanting to cause trouble for him, I decided to leave. I would deal with him later. There was no way I was going to let him continue to love up the woman I wanted.

If they were in a relationship, I was going to make sure it shattered as soon as possible. Whether Lilith believed me or not, I was not okay with knowing she was in the arms of another man when she could have been in mine, had it not been for that stupid woman.
