Filed To Story: Dumped by Scumbag Adored by Billionaire

“Go back to your room Isabella! ” he barked at her but the young girl in question remained unfazed.

She went on ” You know deep down that this is all your fault if only you gave him what he wanted. I love you grandfather but I must speak out on this one cause I’m really angry too! “

Adam began to laugh, hysterically “Even you Isabella, she bewitched you too “

Suddenly his laugh came to an abrupt stop and his gaze hardened “You there! ” he commanded his men stationed outside his room.

“Take her and lock her up, make sure she doesn’t leave her room until I say so ” He ordered and his men bowed and went ahead to fulfill his task.

“Don’t you dare! ” She boomed at the both of them but her threat was powerless.

“He just wanted a little happiness, don’t you see you’re making him miserable! ” Isabella struggled as one of the men tossed her effortlessly over his shoulder.

“Let me down, gosh! This is so humiliating ” Izzy complained since she was carried with her face down while her bottom was pointing up.

“And you! ” She focused on me this time as she was being carried away

“I warned you but you took it for granted. Now you have me to face for the rest of your life! ” her voice drifted off the passage.

Silence ensured until I asked, “Are you done? “

Adam glanced up, annoyed ” Get out of my sight “

“My pleasure ” I gloated at him before staggering out of the room. I winced with every step I took, my body aching all over.

“Here ” Judy made me lean against his body, resting most of my weight on him.

He helped me into the car before asking “Should we head to the hospital? “

” No ” I groaned and lay across my leather seat ” Let’s go home “

Home? Was it still a home? Maria who made it lively was no longer there.

When we got home, Amanda screamed her lungs out immediately she set her eyes on me.

“Oh my God! ” She cried shockingly while circling me ” What in the world happened to you? “

“It’s nothing ” I replied to her and gestured her out of my way.

“Where are you going? That’s not the direction to your room… .”

I ignored her and walked into Maria’s vacant room. The room was almost the same, she didn’t take most of the stuff I bought for her.

The once warm room was oddly cold and lonely. My gaze fell on the white linen-covered bed as memories of the time we spent together there flooded my head.

With my bloodied body and clothes, I climbed into the bed and lay down quietly.

I was missing her already.

Maria’s POV

“Do you need help with that, it sure looks heavy? ” Tina asked politely, but the scornful smile tugging at the corners of her lips betrayed her kind gesture.

I ignored the fool and tried to move away but she purposely got in my way. I glanced up, glaring at her to the extent I wished my eyes were a bullet.

Tina’s hand flew to her mouth and she said ” Oops, my bad. I didn’t know you were coming this way “

I rolled my eyes and stepped to the right but she moved along with me too – the first time could have been a mistake but the second time? Definitely not.

“Oh, you are going there too? ” Tina pretended not to have known I would come that way.

I clenched my fist tightly, she was beginning to get on my nerves. With a huff, I strode to the left but she moved along with me again, blocking my path.

Okay, this is it, I’m done with her games.

“Leave me the hell alone! ” I  screamed and hit her in the face with my duffel bag.

The force from the hit made her fall back to the ground. Tina spat out saliva mixed with blood and she looked up at me with sheer hatred in the depth of her eyes.

“Miss ! ” two of her guards called after her before helping her to her feet.

“What are you two idiots doing? Get that bitch! ” She ordered them sternly causing my eyes to widen in horror.

Both of them attempted to grab me at once but I moved back, tossed my duffel bag to the ground before stepping to the side, and avoided their grips.

I subtly put out a leg in the way, intentionally tripping over one of them who kissed the ground face first.

The other one punched at me but I dodged on time. He launched another blow without wasting time having sensed I could fight, but I kneeled him in the place where the sun never shines.

His hands went to his crotch as he released a loud cry of pain. He moved back and his knee began to buckle but I didn’t let him off that easily. I jumped off the ground and sent him a flying kick that made him fall back to the ground unconscious.

My blood was boiling, I was very angry and the short fight made me all the more thirsty for more – I wanted to transfer my aggression on them.

Turning around, I never expected Tina to kick me in the stomach with her God knows how many inches tall stiletto heel.

I stumbled backward and bent over with my hand crossing my stomach, God that hurt!

A slap met me on the face while her fake nails scratched my skin, but that action aroused more anger than pain.

I stood up at once and backhanded her, drawing blood from her lips as she cried out sharply.

“Oops! My bad, I didn’t know it hurts that much “I taunted her, using the same mocking tone she used on me earlier.

“How dare you bit-!”

I backhanded her again, this time sending her to the ground and the words rushing out of her mouth unheard forever.

“Sorry, my hand moved on its own. You were saying? ” I squat down to her level while examining my red hands.

Tina’s eyes were wide and she was holding her face with her palm while her lips were quivering. She bit on it to suppress her cries as she stared at me with an aggrieved expression.

“I told you, not everybody was trained with a silver spoon; some are mad dogs who won’t let go until they chunk off something, ” I told her pointedly and she shivered.

I raised my hand but Tina winced and shrank back thinking I was about to hit her, but I simply ran my hands through her hair eliciting an odd look from her face.

“Tsk Tsk ” I clicked my tongue ” Even your hair speaks of luxury yet you’re not satisfied with it “

Suddenly my eyes darkened and I clutched a fistful of her hair so tight she cried out in pain.

“I’m normally a good person but not when I’m pushed to the wall. There’s a limit a person can take and you have been crossing that lately Christina. “

Tears slipped down her eyes but it didn’t move me at all, if anything, it made me want to hurt her the more – heartbreak must have really turned me into a psycho.

With a deep sigh, I reluctantly let go of her hair and gripped her chin instead, lifting her face to my level and reminded her.

“Unlike others, I am all alone in this world so I’ve got nothing to lose. I have nothing but myself to take care of, family? None. So perhaps, the next time you think about ruffling my feathers, remember I’m willing to die alongside you If push comes to shove ” I told her with every seriousness in me and I hope she got the message into her head.

I let go of her, picked up my duffel bag, and glared at one of her men on his feet that was torn between fighting me and helping out his missus.

“Trust me, I’m a blackbelt, ” I told him, hinting he should make his choice wisely and even went ahead to crack my fist.

The moment he saw my gesture, the conflicted look on his face was cleared instantly and he went to Tina’s aid. What a chicken.

With a devil may care manner, I flung my duffel bag over my shoulder and walked out of the mansion. My taxi was still waiting and I bet the driver must have enjoyed the drama from earlier, even though there was a scared expression on his features.

“I’m not a gangster, don’t call the police, ” I told him as soon as our eyes connected through the rearview mirror.

He gulped, then nodded a reply and started the engine. I was going back to my old place and thankfully have a good rest while putting everything behind me.

The fight with Tina somehow calmed me down – must be the adrenaline or something – but I’m thankful to her for that.

I was not afraid of Tina calling the police since she fought back anyway, and she values her reputation more than anything. If videos of her getting her ass whipped by me surfaces, she would probably go into hiding until the buzz dies off.

Thankfully I kept my apartment. I wondered what I would have done in this situation.

It took about an hour to reach my place and I settled the driver who drove off as if the devil was on his heels.

But the moment I tried to step into the building, uncountable camera flashes blinded my eyes and I had to shield my sight with my hand.

As if someone shouted, “Action! ” paparazzi swarmed out from God knows where in a twinkle of an eye and encompassed me.

“Maria, what would you say about your relationship with Niles?! “

“Did you really come between him and Tina?! “
