THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

The following morning, Ellie woke up to the chiming ringing of her cellphone. Getting up tirelessly, she reached for her phone on the night stand and the caller was an unknown individual. So as not to disturb Edward’s sleep, she silent the phone and quietly walked to the living room to pick the call.

“Hello, who is this?”, Ellie asked, on getting to the living room and picking the call but she got no response in return. She had thought the network was bad and kept on saying hello, thinking the receiver was finding it difficult to hear her. After several attempts of getting the caller engaged and with no response, she decided to end the call. But as she was about hanging up, she heard the voice of the man behind her nightmare.

“Hello, wifey”, Kevin said on the other end of the line, making Ellie shivered and cringed on hearing his voice. Although he was not present, Ellie felt his scary presence just by hearing his voice. Ellie couldn’t respond and just kept quiet, trying her possible best not to make it obvious that she was scared.

“I saw the news yesterday. Congratulations on making your dreams come true and I wish you a wonderful wedding ahead. Do you mind me being present at your wedding?”, Kevin asked, in a mockery voice.

“What do you want?”, Ellie managed to say, after mustering up some courage.

“Well, I need to see you”, Kevin said, in a commanding tone.

“What for?”, Ellie asked, in a strong and defiant voice.

“Do I need to have a reason before I see my wife?”, Kevin asked, trying to trigger Ellie’s memory.

“I told you to stop calling me that”, Ellie said in an annoyed voice, almost yelling

“Anyways, we have an unresolved issue we need to talk about. You haven’t given me a response as to when you will be leaving Edward and coming back to me”, Kevin said.

“You gave me a month to think about that and I still have few days left. So, what’s the meeting for?”, Ellie asked, getting impatient

“Will you be meeting with me or not?”, he asked, trying to know Ellie’s stand.

“What if I don’t want to?”, she asked, defiantly.

“Then, I will have no other option than to come meet you at your house and have the discussion right in front of your darling husband to be. I will be so glad to introduce myself to him but guess as what? I think you have the answer to that already”, he said in a threatening voice.

“Let me check my schedule I will let you know the day and time I will be available”, she said, giving in to Kevin’s request as she knew what he could do if she didn’t oblige.

“The date and time? I want to meet with you now!!!!!! You have just 20 minutes to be here. If you are not here by then, expect to see me in front of your doorsteps”, Kevin said hanging up on Ellie. Ellie stood still, not knowing what to do. She knew she had no other option than to grant Kevin’s request, otherwise, he would show up at her doorstep just like he had said. While in the middle of her thought, her phone chimed and on checking it, it was a message from Kevin.

‘Let’s meet at Square scout hotel. You have just 20 minutes”, the message stated. With no other option, Ellie got dressed and headed out to meet Kevin, without notifying Edward who was sleeping peacefully on the bed. Few minutes after Ellie left, Edward woke up, He didn’t see Ellie beside him and had thought she was in the living room. On getting to the living room, she was nowhere to be found. He dialed her line but didn’t connect, which got Edward worked up that something had happened to her. He decided to wait for few more minutes and see if she would show up before beginning the search for her.

After waiting for minutes and still no sign of her, Edward started his search for her by getting in touch with his guards and his personal investigator to find her whereabout.

“Has she been kidnapped by Clinton or was it by Sophia? What is happening to her right now? Why today of all days?”, Edward had thought, getting frustrated.

Ellie on the other hand had gotten to the hotel and was expecting to meet Kevin at the hotel’s restaurant but she didn’t. She dialed Kevin’s number, trying to find out where he was.

“I am at the hotel’s restaurant already, where are you?”, Ellie asked.

“I am at my hotel room. It’s room 409. Come and meet me there”, Kevin said.

“At the room? Why would we have a conversation in a room? I will be waiting for you here”, Ellie responded, not feeling comfortable with meeting Kevin at the hotel room.

“You don’t want to come upstairs? Well, the choice is yours but have it at the back of your mind that each and every decision you take, has a consequence. I hope you take the right decision”, Kevin, said, hanging up .

Ellie knew Kevin was trying to play her and she made up her mind to play the game with him. As she headed to the lift, on her way to Kevin’s room, she had one motive in mind; to cut Kevin off her tail. She was going to face him head on and made sure he had no power over her again. She had had enough!!!! She wouldn’t watch him take away her happiness and freedom from her again. For the sake of Edward and their child, she would do anything.

On getting to the room, Ellie rang the bell and in no time, the door was opened, revealing Kevin’s face.

“Hello, wifey. I know you will always make the right decision. Do come in”, Kevin said, opening the door wide, inviting Ellie to come in and which she did.

“I must say, you look so beautiful. I have missed your body”, Kevin said, touching Ellie from behind.

“Get your fucking hands off me”, Ellie yelled, yanking his hands off.

“Stop pretending, I know you want me”, Kevin said, forcing Ellie in for a kiss. With all her strength, Ellie pushed him away from her, slapping him across the face and wiping his saliva away from her lips.

“I told you not to touch me!!!! Your touch irritates me”, Ellie said, leaving Kevin shocked and speechless.

“I am just here to say a few things. I am not here because I am scared of what you might do. From now on, I do not want to see your face. I want you to stay away from my life. I will stop allowing you take control over me. I am fucking done with you bullying me and messing with my inner peace”, Ellie said with confidence which made Kevin wondered where that actually came from.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“I am also making it known to you that I won’t be coming back to you, neither will I leave Edward. I am going to get married to Edward and there is nothing you can do about that. As for all the secrets you think you can use to tie me down, I am going to reveal everything to Edward myself. So, I will save you the stress. You were and you are still a leach living of me. I hope you get lost and never set my eyes on you again”, Ellie said, turning around and walking towards the door. Kevin whose ego was hurt wouldn’t let Ellie go just like that and so, he grabbed her from behind, pushing her on to the bed.

“What the hell do you think you are doing”, Ellie asked, with her eyes wide opened.

“What do you think? Punishing you for being so rude, just like the old times”, Kevin said, loosing his belt and smiling. At that moment, Ellie realized what he was about to do.
