Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

The party hadn’t ended, but Jared was already on his way out. Jane found out and ran after him. However, she could hardly keep up in her bulky dress.

“Jared, wait! The party hasn’t ended yet. Where are you going?”

He did not stop. She took off her heels and managed to reach him. She held his hand.

He yanked it off and as a result, she fell. He didn’t look back or sympathize. Undeterred, she stood up again and stood before him with her arms spread wide.

“Don’t go”

“You got what you wanted, right? Then leave me alone”

He sidestepped her, got into his car and left.

She lied to the family that he had urgent business to attend to, and it definitely didn’t sit well with them. Especially her parents.

That night, Jared was called to the old mansion, where everyone was waiting except Jane and her parents.

He strode in and sat with no care in the world.

“Did I say you could sit?

“I’m already seated”

“What is wrong with you? Why are you suddenly like this?” His mother said.

“I don’t know what you mean”

“You came late to the party and left before it ended. You made all of us look like fools while explaining to people why you were absent. Do you know how bad Jane’s parents felt?”

“Well, I’m not sorry. I wouldn’t leave my work for something as trivial as an engagement”

“Tri….. trivial? What….” She tried to stand up. He needed a good beating, but Dylan held her down, telling her not to.

“That’s enough” he said to Jared. He could sense he was in a bad mood and was only passing aggression. “You should not say something like that?”

“I guess you have all gotten your answers. I would like to take my leave now” He stood up and turned to leave. Old Smith, who had kept silent for sometime also stood up, raised his stick and a bang was heard as the item hit his back.

Sandy gasped. Did he just hit his grandson? Mrs Smith’s brows also furrowed. What he did wasn’t good, but she would rather not have him getting hit like that.

He gave his grandfather a blank stare like he didn’t feel anything. “Are you happy now?”

He left without another word.

He drove without any clear destination in mind. He called Mike, and it was a bit loud on the other side. He could already guess where he was.

“I’ll meet you there” Breaking traffic rules, he drove madly to the nightclub.

“Hey buddy. I was surprised when you called me at the last minute, but wait, isn’t today your engagement?” Mike wasn’t the only one there. Blake and Pete were present too.

Without saying anything, he downed a glass of strong liquor.

“Woah man! Take it easy. I can help you, you know. How about I get you some women?” Mike wiggled his brows teasingly.

“Do so”

They were all stunned silent. Mike had only said that to poke fun at him. He didn’t actually think he would agree. Or was he kidding?

“Wait, what!”

“You heard me. One is enough” They all looked at each other. He was willing to fuck another woman on the night of his engagement.

Mike was conversant with this, and it didn’t take long for him to arrange a woman for Jared. The woman tried to seduce him, but he didn’t even look at her.

“I’ll see you guys later” he turned to the woman. “Follow me” his friends watched him leave, their jaws on the ground.

“What just happened?” Pete asked.

“I wish I knew” Mike replied.

************

Immediately they got to the hotel, the lady brought him close and tried to kiss him. He pushed her down on the bed, spreading her legs. He wore protection before thrusting into her. The woman began to moan loudly.

He growled as he imagined Valerie’s face. He began to thrust even harder.

“Yes. Fuck me harder!” She screamed. She came, but he didn’t stop. When he finally reached climax, he disposed the condom and fell asleep mumbling Valerie’s name.

The next morning, a hard knock on the door woke him up. The woman was still in bed. He jerked her awake.

“Hello handsome” she traced her hands down his hard chest. He slapped it off and reached into the bedside drawer, bringing out a wad of cash. He placed it on the bed.

“Take this and get out”

The woman smiled at the sight of money. She got dressed and left. Jared’s raked his hand through his hair. He had sex with that woman, so he could feel better, but the emptiness was still there.

“Boss” Will came in. He was so perplexed. He had just seen a woman sashay out of his room.

“What? You wish to speak?”

“No. It’s fine. I brought your work clothes”

“How did you know I was here?”

“Lucky guess”

“You’re lying” Jared said flatly.

“Okay. You got me. Mike told me”

“Oh, yeah. What else did he say?”

“Hm? Was he supposed to say something else?”

In response, Jared snatched the clothes from him and sent him out.

This hotel also belonged to him. There was a penthouse at the top that was exclusively his.

They both headed for the car and Will attempted to get into the driver’s seat.

“What do you think you are doing?”

“I want to drive… you” Poor Will looked lost. Was he not doing something right?

“Get out”

Will did as he was told and watched as Jared got in and started the car.

“Find your way back to the company” With that, he drove off. Will looked like an abandoned puppy.

****************

It was break time and Valerie stood up ready to get something to eat when a call came in. She had no idea who it was.

“Am I speaking with Valerie Gardner?”

“That’s me. Who are you?”

“Let’s meet at the coffee shop opposite your workplace” Before she could think of asking questions, whoever it was, hung up.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

She was going there anyway. She looked around immediately she entered. She didn’t see any familiar person.

“Miss Gardner”

“Oh!” She jerked back, startled.

“I guess I scared you”

“Of course you did” she patted her chest. “Who are you, by the way?”

“Let’s sit first” They did. “My name is Blake, Jared’s friend”

She tilted her head. Why was Jared’s friend looking for her?

“I know you must be wondering why I’m here. I will just go straight to the point. I want you to stay away from Jared”

She narrowed her eyes. “Do you even know who I am? I’m his secretary, how do you expect me to do that?”

“I mean personally and…. romantically. I saw you stealing glances at each other at the party. As you have already guessed, Jared and Jane don’t really get along, but it became even rocky since you came into the picture. So please -”

“What are you doing here, Blake?”

Valerie turned to see Jared standing behind her, a hard look on his face. When did he get here?

“Jared” Blake said with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

“I asked you a question. Why are you here….. with my secretary?” The air around them suddenly became chilly.

“I…..”

“We happened to meet here, and he was telling me some interesting things about you. That’s all” Valerie came to the rescue, refusing to look at the surprised Blake. “I’ll get back to work now” she left without looking back.
