The Unloved Billionaires And I

ARYA POV

We lost our parents a few years ago and have been supporting us, we have been staying with Fernando’s parents, they were our parent’s childhood friends, they thought we would grow up and one day marry each other, sometimes I wonder how the grown-ups think, just because we play together doesn’t mean we will end up together, all this happens in movies. I have a lot of things to think of and marriage is not one of them. He is not my type.

I moved in with Lucas a few days ago, my little brother has started his treatment, the surgery was successful and he is recovering. Have been living with Lucas but he Is never around, dude is a fucking workaholic but I don’t care, as long as I don’t see him at home, am alright with that. I hate looking at his gorgeous blue eyes and his dimples get me even when he doesn’t try so hard, it shows and I have a thing for blue eyes.

Well, at least I found a job, this way I can save more money and maybe I can pay him back for the surgery. I went down to make breakfast and I found Lucas having dinner, drinking coffee and working on his laptop. “Good morning. I greeted, hurrying to make my breakfast since I am late for work.” Although, am a morning person, I wake up early because of the work I used to do. It demands me to be on time and It’s far from where I live.

Morning he answered, his face still on the screen. Oh, my colleague is getting married, and you are invited. It is not his colleague, it is his cousin, Tobias says coming down from taking a shower.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is that my robe? You slept here?” Lucas and I asked at the same time. Who should I answer first, yes I slept here and yes, it’s your robe. Why are you wearing it? because it looks good on me. Larry! Yes, sir, “I want that robe thrown away once he leaves my house.” I don’t have germs on me, you know. I don’t care, I want it outta here.

Then you should change his bed sheet then while you are at it, change the pillow as well. You know what, change everything with the bed, I don’t want to perceive his cheap… fuck you! it’s not cheap, his cousin is getting married in their family house which will be perfect for him to introduce you to them. “You want me to meet his family?” She choked on her coffee. “Are you okay?” Tobias asked. I nodded. Just be prepared, by seven he will pick you up, and you can meet my crush, the woman of my life.

That’s enough, I don’t want to hear you talking about my sister like that. “You know about my crush on her?” Tobias asked. “I saw your confession and you looked pathetic, I can’t believe you think my sister would date you.” Lucas replied him. “One can only dream, and I will continue dreaming until it turns to a reality.” Tobias answered. “It is foolish to dream about love that will never happen.” Lucas says.

“Why would you say that he is your friend?” Well, my sister is bringing her fiancée and might I add he is better than you. His face paled. Why are you friends again, I can’t be friends with someone like him, he doesn’t deserve you, none of you, I said to Tobias after Lucas left.

You know I was always chubby, and was bullied when I was little, he was the only one that didn’t bully me and one day he fought with my bully after he heard they took the book he gave me. It was the first time someone stood up for me you know, I never believed he would but he did.

Enough of the sad story! let’s get you ready. “B-but I need to go to work and my boss would hate it if I miss my job when I just started.” Well, good for you, I am your boss and I demand you to stay at home and prepare yourself. “It’s still early, so why should I start all this now? I don’t even have a dress,” I whine.

“Don’t worry about that, just sit and relax and let them take care of you.” I saw beautiful women coming in, then I know my torture has just begun.

It was torture, the make-up, jewelries, my hair, my nails but I do look beautiful not that I wasn’t but I looked different, more matured, the clothes, so beautiful. We waited for Lucas but he never came. Instead, he sent Tobias a message to bring me over. Why will he keep us waiting for so long only for him to send, am so done with him. I got into the car and Tobias drove off.

I kept reminiscing about my past with my family. I miss them. If they were alive I wouldn’t be in this predicament. I wouldn’t have been humiliated by the way I was today. He didn’t even stand up for me, he watched as his parent stared me down, murmur among each other and talk about how poor I am, Lucas didn’t say anything, he just drank his champagne and kept talking with this very beautiful blond girl, she kept smiling, but he didn’t look like he was enjoying himself he didn’t even introduced me, I think everyone just made a guess when they saw me.

I felt like crying, everyone talking, pointing their fingers at me making it obvious they were talking about me. I hate all the attention given to me and it wasn’t a happy look either. I guess you don’t need to know how my night, it’s obvious it was terrible, I didn’t even wait till the end of the party, I had to leave I just couldn’t take it, I know it’s disrespectful to leave before the guests but am also a guest, so I didn’t care, I was angry and hurt that Liam didn’t care even when Tobias told him, I knew he told him but he wasn’t concerned.

I cried myself to sleep on the couch, when I woke up, I found myself on the bed. I am sure it was Tobias that took me in, Lucas will never touch me, I am too dirty for him to touch. I need to get ready for work. I don’t like staying at home. At least I have this job to keep me busy. I am not a graduate so it is really difficult to find a higher paying job but I am content with what I am doing.

Once my brother gets better, I will further my education. He has stated his treatment and that makes both of us very happy. At least something is going well for me. I worked at Tobias restaurant as a waitress, I still don’t believe this is his. He told me no one knows about it, not even Nathan or his parents. I was happy for him. He tries as much as he can to fend for himself.

Lucas’s birthday is coming up, I don’t really know what to get him, he has all the expensive things he needs in life, so what can I get him. Tobias already bought a bicycle for him. At first, I was confused when I saw it, not until Fernando explained to me that they do this every year.

During their birthday, they get themselves something they have never done or are scared of doing. Last year Lucas put a snake in his room and Tobias was so scared, he fainted, it was hilarious. Fernando got Lucas his favourite pen, they didn’t buy him anything expensive. I heard his sister sent him more work to do as his birthday present and Lucas actually smiled when he saw it.

I asked Tobias, he told me it was the first time his sister was sending him a present. How can he call that present, I thought about it and decided to get Lucas a novel, a horror novel is exactly what I got him he was so happy about it, ever since I started living with him, today is the first day he has talked more than he usually does which made me happy that I was one of the people that made him happy, not until he saw the gift Tobias got him, then he became angry, mood swing activated.
