Chapter 39 Fresh romance
Fanny was done with his billionaire friends. He searched for the way he would tell Opula she was not going to be with him for one month. He looked by the corner and Ruby was smoking, waiting to take her home. Finally he came up with something. He adjusted his suit, pocketed his arms and walked straight to Opula.
“Hello damsel,” he said and Opula stood.
Thinking he was done with his friends she asked, “Are you through with your billionaire friends? Can we go now?”
Fanny stroked his head confusedly, blinked uneasily, noticing that Ruby was standing impatiently by the corner waiting for his ‘trophy’ he sniffed and said, “You see Opula, the way of a billionaire is not always certain, full of ups and downs, trying to stay at the top.”
Opula winked, “What is? What happened? Why are you giving me sermon at this late hour?” she asked.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Not that I am giving you sermon, I am just finding it difficult to say it, because I don’t know how you will feel about it.”
“What is it? Talk to me, put yourself together and talk to me,” she said and perceived he was shy seeing the way he stroked his hair. “Talk to me. Are you not the same person that washed me in the bathroom when I was drunk? If you could do that what stops you from telling me whatever it is that is disturbing you?”
He grinned and frowned his face, “Ok, I won’t be around for one month. I will be travelling to Japan for a business trip, please I want you to be safe and enjoy the same benefits you enjoyed while with me that is why I want to leave you in the care of my friend over there.” He pointed at Ruby who waved at them, “He is the coolest of all my friends, peaceful, calm and respectful. I want him to take care of you while I am away,”
“Is that all? You don’t have to worry yourself. I am gonna take care of myself while you are away. I can stay in the suite all alone so far I have everything at my fingertips. I mustn’t stay with your rich friend before you know I am safe and enjoying.”
“No, no, I never said so. The safety is important. See, people and my enemies have seen you with me. They are going to come for you as soon as I am away.”
“I asked you before and I am asking again. What did you do? What is the source of your wealth? Why are you always mentioning enemies? Hope someone is not going to shoot me because I am mingling with you? Come to think of it why are you so fast to make it to Japan, something you never mentioned to me earlier?”
“I am so sorry. That was why I said the way of a billionaire is not always certain. Please I want you to stay with Ruby. He is a rich gentle man. As soon as I’m done in Japan I will return to you, Ok.”
“You think because you are rich you are going to keep tossing me like a toy,” Opula complained and folded her arms.
“See I love you so much that is why I am making sure you are safe and sound, also you have everything.” He put his hand into his suit, brought out a cheque and a pen, and scribbled something into the cheque. “This is a cheque for five hundred thousand dollars, should you need anything, but I assure you Ruby is as rich as me. You won’t lack anything. The five hundred thousand is just your pocket allowance until I’m back, ok.”
Opula stared at him, worried and angry, she perceived there was something Fanny wasn’t telling her; she knew something was fishy and it was more than his travel. Anyways she decided to agree to his plea and collected the cheque.
“Thank you so much”, she said to him “When are you leaving?” she asked.
“Right away. I will fly in my private jet. My pilot awaits me at the terminal.” he said and opened his hands.
She shook her head and he hugged her, and wanted to kiss her but she pulled back and gave him her cheeks instead. She had learnt a lot about billionaires and their deceitful system of falling I love and she would have to be careful before she abandoned her reason for coming to Beijing and go after love. She wasn’t out to fall in love with any man at the time. All she needed was to focus on the revenge that brought her down to this place and ensure that Ziu Lee paid for all the atrocitites he commited against her.
Fanny asked quickly, “Why have you been avoiding my affection?”
She smiled and frowned, “Make your trip, Fanny. When you return I promise to give you all you have always wanted, in fact you will meet me naked in your bed, where we will make love till dusk of the next day. I will stay by your side naked in my seductive black lingerie, which will allow you see my fresh buttocks and vagina whenever you like and we will make love in the bathtub with red wine by our side,” she said and kissed his forehead. She wished she could do all of that just to make him happy. But would he understand her reason for coming down to this place was for revenge and nothing more?
Fanny swallowed hard and watched her removed her hands from his as she walked to meet Ruby. Fanny wished he could turn back the hands of time and pay up the one billion dollars instead of giving up his love, Opula. He prayed everything remained the same after one month. As he walked away, he felt like crying. He kept staring back until Ruby disappeared with Opula in his Ferrari.
THE LOVE WAR JUST BEGUN…
