Filed To Story: Dumped by Scumbag Adored by Billionaire
“Just like most romance begins, I’m the lucky female lead who gets to meet her prince charming – without the help of a fairy Godmother by the way.
But my Prince Charming is a bit different in the sense he is a chronic player and just like they would say “Fate brought the two of us together “
I ended up being his daughter’s nanny and though I knew he was bad for me, I still got involved with him.
He promised me the world and I totally believed it….I mean he was really sweet to m-me….” I choked back a tears but more began to flow
incessantly.
Sakuzi with an apathetic look stretched a handkerchief towards me which I took – not the one he used by the way.
It took me a good five minutes to calm myself down and during that period he didn’t say a word to me, just slipped his wine slowly and quietly.
“He promised me the world ” I sniffed and continued my story “But I guess I was just a dumb barbie who believed happily ever after was a thing .
Maybe, he did like me – Not love by the way, Niles is not capable of loving – but sometimes such feelings alone are just not enough ….”
Sakuzi interrupted me with what I would refer to as a ” mocking laugh “, my brows raised up questioningly .
“I’m sorry, go on ” he apologized, a hint of laughter still playing at the corner of his lips.
I pursed my lips ” Unknown to me, he had other plans. He finally proposed to me tonight but his ex-girlfriend intercepted the whole thing and now, the whole world thinks Tina is his fiancee “
“And you did nothing? ” Sakuzi asked.
“Well, what was I supposed to do?!” I mistakenly snapped at him.
I saw the sharp glint in his eyes, realizing my mistake, I calmed myself and continued
“What do you want me to do? Start a cat fight? Scream to the whole audience that she’s lying when everyone saw her kissing Niles right after the proposal? “
“Well that’s none of my business ” Sakuzi brushed it off “I already got you, that’s all that matters “
“I’m telling you you’re just wasting your breath, there is no way Niles would come all this way just to – “
The sound of gunshots interrupted me.
A hint of apprehension, confusion and fear crossed my features “What’s going on? “
“Your beloved ex-fiancé Is here “
Niles’s POV
It took us about an hour to track down the car after a series of twists and turns; they had taken her to the outskirts of the city.
I knew Sakuzi had a lot of properties but I didn’t know he had one just at the outer edge of the city, I thought he was within.
The parcels of land stretched for miles and we had to cleave our way through poor and dusty tracts lighted with electricity.The lands were uncultivated, featuring wild flowers and tall bushes and possibly wild rodents currently rustling the bushes.
Soon enough we arrived at the main entrance and as expected, were locked out by a huge intimidating gate and a heavy patrol.
My men came out and encompassed me, ensuring my safety as I stepped out of the car.
Almost immediately, the remote operated gate was opened and two armed men stepped towards us.
“Identify yourself !” They roared at us with a condensing tone that made Judy’s eyes flash with anger .
“How dare you !” He tried to charge at them but I held him back and warned him with my eyes.
I glanced up at them ” Tell Sakuzi that Niles Sparks honours his invitation “
The both stared at each other before communicating into the device strapped to the back of their ears.
After what seemed like it lasted an eternity, I got a reply that made me see red.
“Sakuzi says he’s too tired to entertain unwanted guest at the moment, you should come back tomorrow “
At once I fired two shots into the air causing them to grab and point their guns defensively at me but my men shielded me with their body while pointing their weapons at every visible enemy.
I gritted through my teeth ” Tell your boss it’s not a request but an order “
“Sakuzi takes no order from the likes of you – ” One of them was still saying when his partner tapped him on the shoulder and muttered something into his ears.
With a huge scowl on his face, the fool glared at me while I gloated at him in return, I could already tell what happened ; Sakuzi ordered me in.
He tore his ugly gaze from me and turned to face a tiny, almost invisible camera built into the huge gate and waved.
Seconds later, the gate automatically opened and he mumbled under his breath.” Go in “
I slid back into my car and Judy drove into the compound accompanied by my men.
We pulled up at the driveway and stepped out just as another set of Sakuzi’s men intercepted us.
It was already late in the night and our source of light was from the electricity that lit up the place.
“You all can’t go in ” A stoice looking guy dressed in a suit amongst three others, said particularly to me.
I lifted my brows, amused mirthlessly “So how many exactly am I supposed to bring along? “
He replied at once with an unreadable expression ” Choose five of your best men and seven if you’re not confident enough “
I ignored his sarcasm and made eye contact with Judy as he went ahead to select the guards he thought would be suitable and strong enough to protect me, in case things go south.
The stoic guy nodded his head before requesting “Guns please “
“No way ” Judy protested.
“That’s the only way you would be able to see sakuzi tonight ” The stoic looking guy continued.
Judy faced me with a clenched fist “Sir Niles, tell me you’re seriously not considering… .”
” Don’t worry, we’ll do it, ” I interjected, causing Judy to sigh in disbelief.
We offered them our weapons and they did a body search before letting us go.
I gritted my teeth and took all the shame. “It was all for Maria ” I chanted inwardly.
“Alright then, you all need to go – “
“What’s the assurance I won’t be shot in the head as soon as we step into the house with you “
The stoic guy was taken aback by my question but he was quick to reply ” Sakuzi wants the girl, not you at the moment “
I felt like someone took a knife and stabbed me in the chest upon hearing his comment. Who knows the kind of torture he has put Maria through.
This was all my fault, I knew the kind of background I was from and yet I involved myself with her – but I would correct everything soon.
Judy’s jaw ticked as our eyes met but I understood his frustration, he was my shadow guard and his sole responsibility was to keep me out of harm’s way.
But I haven’t made his job easy for a while now ; firstly, I had ordered him to keep Maria safe, now everything I’ve ever done since the past hours was to put myself in more danger.
No one trusted Sakuzi since mob leaders weren’t exactly associated with honesty. But I had no choice, Maria’s safety was all that mattered.
She was probably all alone and scared out of her mind in Sakuzi’s prison, who knew if her catatonia had relapsed again?
Sakuzi’s men led us into the large mansion and Judy reluctantly resumed his duty.
He and his men were alert and made sure I was properly protected.They surrounded me as we walked, using their body as a sort of human shield against sneak attacks or snipers.
