Filed To Story: Dumped by Scumbag Adored by Billionaire
Yes, I’m weak but I’m not fragile, I’ve had quite my own share of life too. I’ve seen things , gory, dep**ssing, you name it, I’ve seen and experienced such things too but I survived.
And how in the world am I supposed to trust him if he can’t share a little of his past ? His childhood?. cause whenever I bring up such topics, he just filters through his memories and tells me the usual happy ending stories.
But unfortunately I want to hear the bitter ending stories too. I want to know the circumstances that forced and shaped him into being the man he is today. Is that a lot to ask for?
” You! ” Tiny Angellike ‘me’ thundered ” Don’t confuse the young girl and return to wherever you came from”
Tiny Devillike ‘me’ gibed ” Hey you goody two shoes ! mind your business, don’t you see I’m trying to open her eyes here?! “
Tiny Angellike ‘me’ threatens ” Don’t let me banish you to the abyss again ! “
“Y-you! ” Tiny devillike ‘me ‘ chokes and then disappears in a cloudy puff only to reappear on my right shoulder, right beside the tiny Angel.
The both of them suddenly begins this loud chattering and heated arguments that began to make my heart throb painfully.
” Stop! ” I screamed and the both of them disappears in a cloudy puff while I was teleported back to reality.
What the f**k, I’ve being indulging myself in my own fantasy all this while?
Unlikely for me, my scream earlier attracted the little boy’s attention , who then tugged on his mom who had earphones in her ears, moving her head to the music she was listening to.
” This is it ” I took a deep breath when she finally noticed me and braced myself for whatever was to come.
But contrary to what I expected, she put on the most friendliest smile I’ve ever seen and began to walk towards me.
What even baffled me the most was the boy’s hair I had interpreted earlier as brown was actually blonde – the same as his mom. So what actually happened? why did I see differently – tsk tsk, no wonder the devil is the father of all liars, he almost tricked me.
” Hi, I’m Cecil and this is my son Pedro ” She introduced herself with a handshake while pointing to her son afterwards.
“Hi, I’m Maria ” I accepted the handshake ” Nice to meet you Pedro “
“Nice to meet you too, miss Maria” Pedro greeted in his clear childish voice.
Maria fought the urge to ruffle him on the hair, the boy was too adorable, where did this cute little angel come from?
“How may I help you? ” Maria asked and gulped nervously. She started chanting “Please don’t be Niles’s lover in her head ” in her head.
“I just moved into the neighborhood today and want to get acquainted with my neighbors, so that my son at least can get a playmate ” Cecil introduced herself.
Maria sighed heavily – mentally. She released the breath she has been holding for a while now, no one knows how happy and relieved she was right now.
“You must be the mistress of the house, the security wouldn’t let in me without an approval from the mistress or master ” She asked inquisitively.
I blushed hard at her words, seriously I wasn’t the mistress yet *blush * blush
“Well, sort of ” I answered, palming my heated cheeks.
Behave like a sensible lady, Maria!
“Truth be told” Cecile confessed with a solemn exp**ssion “I’m a single mother and I’m might not always be available in the future, its my son permitted to come over incase of an emergency “
” Of Course, he’s permitted right away ” I accepted her request right away. Contrary to what I was thinking earlier, this woman was surprisingly gentle, humble and friendly, moreover I didn’t sense any malevolent intent from her – Yeah, I’m trusting my sixth sense.
Moreover I respect hardworking single moms.
” How rude of me! ” I gasped “please let’s go inside, even if for a cup of tea ” I offered her but she shook her head.
” No, I don’t want to impose on you guys “
“That’s impossible” I laughed and took her son’s hand in mine tenderly and said
“Besides, I’m sure Pedro and Izzy would work out just fine “
“Finally, you decided to return. I thought you were planning on …. ” The rest of her words dies off when she saw the woman beside me.
Izzy’s eyes narrowed down suspiciously on the woman and there was an edge to her voice as she asked ” Who is…. “
But her voice trails off again when her eyes rested on the boy who just emerged from behind his mother.
For the first time ever, I saw Izzy stare at someone for a good five minutes without blinking, not in an intimidating manner but in a shocked, curious way.
To my surprise, Pedro made his way towards Izzy and th**st out his hand for a handshake while introducing himself ” Hi, I’m Pedro and you are? “
Izzy didn’t reply for a few seconds but kept staring at the boy, regarding him intently. Suddenly, she snorted and turned around to leave but after a few meters, turned back again and approached the boy.
“Hi, I’m Isabelle Sparks ” She said and though her face was stoic, her voice was much warmer than usual.
I had to like really wipe my eyes twice with the back of my hand to make sure I was seeing right.
When Izzy had turned away initially, I had thought in my mind ‘ Game over. Izzy has done it again ‘ but then when she turned around, I was totally dumbfounded.
Moreover, when did Izzy start introducing herself as ‘ Isabelle Sparks ‘ ? Even at class, no one dares call her ‘ Isabelle ‘ but ‘Izzy ‘.
Now why ?
Suddenly, my eyes widened. Could it be…?
“Oh my God ” Cecil squealed at my side with adoring eyes “They look so good together “
They indeed looked good together. too good together. – What the f*ck! Who are we deceiving here!
Izzy looks like a devil, a lion about to devour its prey while Pedro looks like an innocent lamb, a lamb to the slaughter.
Pedro had blonde hair that was sl**ked back, the palest of blue eyes I’ve ever seen with thick brows that framed his face perfectly and he was four or five inches taller than Izzy. Though his chiseled face was still hidden with a bit of baby fat but it was obvious Pedro was going to be drop-dead gorgeous when he grows up.
Yes, the both of them together were aesthetically pleasing to the eyes but then this innocent soul was not meant to be with Izzy, she would taint him beyond redemption .
“Yes, they do “I replied just to please Cecil but no matter what I was saying , Izzy definitely isn’t smitten by this boy.
