Forever with the Billionaire

Loukas POV

I was grateful that night that Hillary saved me from jumping off the roof. If she had not saved me, then I wouldn’t have met someone as pure as her. She was my miracle and made me feel things that I haven’t felt in quite a while.

To put it simply, Hillary was my miracle, and I never regretted ever meeting her or getting married to her. She was just everything I would have wanted if I wasn’t paralyzed.

“This is fantastic news, Loukas,” Rotimi exclaimed as he tossed a newspaper onto the bed. He clapped his hands and sat beside me on the bed. “You and Hillary are the talk of the town now and you are trending on the number one trending search!”

Hillary picked up the paper from the bed and read through it. Hillary read the front page, which had a picture of us all dancing. “How did a reporter get into the hall? Because the last time I remembered, there was no reporter,” she pointed out.

Rotimi chuckled and grabbed my right hand. “A reporter might have snuck in as a normal guest,” he explained. “I am so glad that we are making progress, which is why I have prepared a honeymoon for you,” he informed us, and I rolled my eyes.

“You’ve done a lot for us, Rotimi,” I said, clearing my throat as he helped me sit on the bed. “You turned my home into a restaurant last night and I must admit that…” I paused and looked into his eyes while he stared at mine, waiting for my answer. “You outdid yourself, Rotimi,” I told him and clapped my left hand on the bed. “You got my wife and therapist drunk,” I said to Hillary, who lowered her head.

She must have been flustered because after that night we could barely keep our hands off each other. I wanted it so much, and she also wanted the same thing. The sexual tension between us was pretty high, and I still can’t stop thinking about having her in my arms and never letting go of her. I didn’t know how long I had been staring at her, but Rotimi followed my gaze and laughed.

“This union is the best I have seen,” he commented and clapped his hands. “You both are pretty amazing,” he chuckled.

I turned to face him and glared hard at him. “What the hell are you even talking about?” I asked him.

He shrugged. “I don’t have an idea, but I have prepared a honeymoon for the both of you,” he announced and clapped his hands. “You both are going to Hawaii!”

“What? ” Hillary and I both said it at the same time.

“You know this marriage is a sham,” I reminded him and made a mistake in looking into Hillary’s face as I said that. To my surprise, she was staring back at me with mixed emotions, as if she never expected me to say that. I turned back to face Rotimi, “We can’t mix business with pleasure. You know that this wedding isn’t real!”

“But the people believed it was real! You are the most popular couple right now! You need to make them believe you, Lou. They have to believe that you are in love, “Rotimi cleared his throat and turned his face toward Hillary. “You have to make sure that this gets through to lure investors to Loukas’s new company!” He told her and I wondered why she should know anything about it since the business wasn’t even anyhow business. I tried to say something, but Rotimi shut me up and continued talking to Hillary.

“Your honeymoon is also like a business honeymoon because you both will be meeting an investor that I have already informed of your arrival!” Rotimi explained it to her, and she nodded at his every word. “You just have to prove to them that you and Loukas are in love, alright?”

She scratched the back of her tangled hair and met my gaze. I stared back at her and we both had our eyes on each other as if Rotimi was never there. “I… ” She broke the connection. “I don’t think Loukas wants this honeymoon since this marriage is a sham.”

Of course, I wanted it, and I hated the way she called what we had a sham. My jaw tightened as I stared at her. I grabbed the bedsheet, having no idea why I had gotten angry. I shouldn’t be angry because I had also called our marriage a sham. I would only sound like a hypocrite because I didn’t care about how she felt when I called the marriage a sham.

Why did I feel this way? I have no idea. What happened to not catching unnecessary feelings? I have no idea! I had broken my own rules by letting her get into my head and heart. I had gone crazy because of her.

“Hey, Lou!” Rotimi snapped his fingers in my face to break me out of my thoughts. “I’ve informed Philips your pilot, and your jet is ready.”

“You did that without informing me!” I shouted and punched the bed. “How are you still connected with Philip?” I referred to my pilot because the last I heard of him was when I traveled to Italy to get away from all of my problems, and that was a long time ago. “I thought he didn’t exist any longer,” I asked.

“He does exist, Lou,” said Rotimi, standing up from the bed and stretching his neck. “So Hillary, “he placed his hands on Hillary. “Go get prepared to go to the airport by eleven. I’ll deal with Loukas.”

“What? ” Her eyes widened. “This is too sudden, Rotimi. I haven’t recovered from the hangover I had yesterday and I,” She looked towards me. ” I don’t have any clothes for the island. I don’t… ”

Rotimi chuckled and patted her shoulder. He winked at her. “You don’t have to worry about that because I have everything under control.”

“What do you mean you have everything under control?” I asked, letting my emotions get the best of me. Rotimi was like a brother to me because we shared a strong bond, but I didn’t like the way he had his hands on my wife’s body.

I didn’t like how he acted around her.

“Don’t worry, Loukas,” he chuckled. “I am letting Hillary know that all her bags are packed for the island and I’ve gotten everything under control. She doesn’t have to worry about anything because I have all the essentials she needs for a week packed up! ”

“One week! ” Hillary and I both said it at the same time.

“What the hell, Rotimi!” I yelled at him. “How dare you talk about a week together! There is no way I am staying on an island for a week! ” I rejected it bluntly.

As much as I wanted that, I didn’t like the idea because I wouldn’t be able to control myself around Hillary and that would be a disaster because I could catch the feelings that I swore never to have forever.

The greatest weakness of every man is Love.

“How are we supposed to spend a week together?” Hillary asked him, folding her hands and tapping her foot on the ground. “We can’t be together for a week!”

“I see no reason why. It will bring people to invest in Loukas’s company,” Rotimi told her.

“I am letting you know that he needs his therapy too. We can’t be on an island together doing nothing when we are supposed to work towards making him feel better, ” That was not what I wanted to hear, but it’s all good.

“Have fun for once, Hillary. You both can be together on the island and still do your therapy session,” Rotimi stated, and listed the things that can be done with his fingers. “you both can do the muscles exercise and since Loukas can raise his right hand now, you can continue the process there too and don’t worry, I’ve rented some part of the island all to yourselves! ” He announced

I furrowed my brows at him and inhaled deeply. “Rotimi wasn’t the kind of person to give up on anything.” He was the type of person that forced you to do something for your benefit. “Who is the investor we are meeting?”

“Mr. Jaden from T Constructions in Dubai,” he informed me.

“I’ll just take this as a cue and go prepare for the trip,” Hillary finally agreed and walked out of the room.

“You let her wear your clothes?” Rotimi sat down on the bed and moved closer to me. “That is so amazing,” he commented.

“Stop talking like this,” I said through gritted teeth. “She was uncomfortable last night in her wedding dress and I had no option but to give her my clothes to wear,” I explained to him, but that only made him laugh out loud.

“Amazing!” He clapped his hands. “Never in my wildest thought would I ever think of you being an ideal husband? You even let her sleep on your bed,” he chuckled.

“It’s not like that,” I tried to argue, but Rotimi wasn’t ready to listen to me.

“You are whipped, bro,” he commented and winked at me.

“Stop doing that!” I yelled at him.

He raised his hands in defeat and then started laughing again. “It’s okay to have feelings, Loukas. I’ve seen the way you both stared at each other. You are…..” He didn’t get to finish that as I threw my pillow at him.

“Stop talking Rotimi!” I yelled at him, and he nodded in response. He cleared his throat and switched back to the cold and professional assistant that he was.

“I posted your drawings online,” he referred to the investor. “He loved your drawings and requested a meetup, but I told him that you were on your honeymoon and when I mentioned the island, he requested to meet. ”

That sounded amazing. Cool, “I said. “What about Mr. Atins?” I asked.

“He is announcing the merger next week since you just got married. He wants you both to have the time of your lives, ” Rotimi said, and I nodded in response. “Let’s get you ready for your honeymoon,” he winked at me, and I tossed him another pillow.

“What the hell is your problem?” I asked him and he shrugged and burst out laughing.

Guess, Hawaii was going to be a long trip.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
