BILLION BUCKS (ENGLISH)

B.B 20

"You can't kill me with that." 

*****

Jean's heart almost fell out if she didn't hear the voice. It turned out that Dominic was the one who tugged at Jean's waist. 

"You made my heart almost fall out. Luckily, you deflected this spray. Otherwise, you would have turned red for an entire day." Jean stroked her chest and bombarded Dominic with exasperation for having startled her. 

"What a fussy." Dominic kissed Jean's lips quickly and took her hand, walking together towards a room at the very end. 

Jean and Dominic arrived at the door, which was dirty and dusty with lots of cobwebs. Jean was confused why Dominic took her to a place like this. However, she was reluctant to ask. 

Jean was surprised when Dominic opened the door as she saw the man who had tried to rape her and conspired with her stepmother to sell her to the club owner was now in a state of great concern. 

His face was full of wounds, and his whole body was wet. Even his lower part was only wearing a brief. 

Who did that? Was it Dominic?

Jean looked at Dominic, who was staring at her stepmother's lover in silence. 

Dominic turned his head as he felt someone was paying attention to him.

"Beg," Said Dominic to the man who was tied to the stake. 

"Help me," Said the man in a tiny voice. His face was lowered because he was already helpless. Jean didn't say anything. She tightly clenched her hand to hold back. 

"They dragged me and told me I did something bad to you. Tell them it was all a misunderstanding." Jean's stepmother lover didn't admit his guilt at all for trying to rape Jean. 

"And the one who dragged you to the black world is your stepmother. I just did as she ordered. After all, you are now living in luxury with him. Please ask them to let me go." With great difficulty, the man asked to release him. 

Jean was furious at the man. How could he think that all is a misunderstanding? It was clear that he wanted to rape Jean and conspired with her stepmother to sell her for money. 

Jean approached the man and immediately slapped him hard in the face. 

"You deserve all of this."

After saying that, Jean walked out with vast strides. Dominic followed her, who had entered the car. 

Jean was crying in the car. She was angry.

Why did he play someone's life carelessly? Luxury living? It was true that Jean now lived in luxury because of Dominic's wealth, but Jean didn't need it. She needed a family that provided comfort, not loneliness. Living in luxury but lonely and imprisoned, just like she was alive but as if she was dead. 

"That's my woman." Dominic praised Jean's courage in saying that to her stepmother's lover, even slapping the man. 

Not calm, Jean cried even louder. Dominic was even panic seeing Jean like that. 

'Did I do something wrong?' Dominic thought.

"Hey... What's wrong with you?" Dominic hugged Jean. 

"You're a stupid polar bear." Jean hit Dominic's arm and cursed him fearlessly. Jean was annoyed that Dominic was talking nonsense. 

'My woman' was the word that irritated Jean. Not angry, Dominic even smiled for no reason. 

"Are you done?" Dominic asked after Jean calmed down.

Jean nodded in response. 

"Wait for a second," Dominic told Jean to wait. He wanted to do something outside. 

Dominic returned to the shop and approached the three bodyguards. The bodyguard immediately bowed respectfully to him. 

"What shall we do, sir?" One of the bodyguards asked. 

Dominic thought for a moment, then pursed the corners of his lips. 

"Don't you want him?" Dominic spoke to the three bodyguards whose faces became radiant because of Dominic's offer. 

"Can we do 'that'?" They asked him to make sure. 

"Play with him as you wish. After that, you can throw him away." After saying that, Dominic immediately came out. 

"Today, I'm very kind, right? I should have skinned, castrated, cut his d**k, or I just killed him. But except for today, I let him live and enjoy making love with my three muscular bodyguards. He must know how it feels to be raped." 

Dominic put his cold face back on. He then walked to the car with Jean in it. 

Earlier, there were screams from the room where Jean's stepmother's lover was being held hostage. 

"Just one more." Said Dominic coldly. 

Dominic opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat. Usually, Dominic didn't bother driving, but the exception for this day was because he was in a good mood. 

Dominic then started the car silently. 

"Where are we going?" Jean asked. 

"Date." His answer was short. Jean was surprised by Dominic's rare response.

"Where?" Dominic asked. 

"Hah?" Jean confused by Dominic's question. 

"Where do people usually go out?" He asked again.

Jean blinked her eyes as she was confused. Firstly, Jean has never dated. Secondly, how was it different from common people's dating and unusual ones? 

"Garden," Jean answered carelessly. At least she knew it from the drama she watched. 

"Okay." Dominic's answer made her shocked. 

What was wrong with him today?

****

They arrived at one of the parks in the town. Many people also came to this park, starting from families who brought their children to play, then other people who did some exercise. There were also those like Dominic and Jean enjoying time together with their partner. 

Couple? One word that Jean still didn't have a clue. Were Dominic and her a couple? Or what?

Never mind, the most important thing was they now enjoy their free time together. 

Dominic held hands, even put his fingers on Jean.

"Like a couple?" Said Dominic. 

Jean lowered her head in embarrassment. Was it because this was the first time Dominic has done something like this? But after recalling, Dominic has ever done it but in front of reporters at the opening of the mall.

"Buy me that ice cream." Jean pointed to one of the ice cream taverns. 

"Wait here." Jean deafened her ears at Dominic's words. He said he would buy her ice cream. However, that wasn't the problem. The problem was Dominic went alone to buy it. 

What was wrong with him today?

Jean was quiet watching Dominic, who was buying ice cream. 

"Does he know how to buy at the tavern?" Jean muttered to herself.

"Ice cream has come for my queen." Dominic handed Jean the ice cream. She accepted it with a strange feeling. 

"You don't like that taste?" Dominic asked, seeing Jean's disgruntled face. 

Jean shook her head. "It's perfect, more than delicious," Said Jean with a smile. 

Dominic smiled at Jean's answer. Jean's heart paused for a moment to see how beautiful this God's creation was in front of her. Dominic was indeed very handsome. His perfect face made Jean almost drool.

"Don't look at me like that if you don't want me to 'eat' you here."

Dominic made Jean blush for the entire day. His sweet treatment made Jean pause for a moment to remember how bad their first meeting was. 

Would they be like this even if they weren't brought together like that? 

"Tired?" Dominic asked. 

Jean nodded slowly. Dominic understood. He then pulled Jean to one of the chairs. 

Jean and Dominic were silent. Neither of them started a conversation. Many people passed by in front of them, not loosening their hands, holding each other. 

However, when there was a small family like father, mother, and their two-year-old son clinging to his father passing in front of them, it made Jean's focus diverted towards Dominic. 

Dominic somehow was paying attention to every behaviour and whatever the family did. 

'Does he miss his family?' Jean thought, remembering what she knew about Dominic's relationship with his father was so bad. 

Jean wondered what had happened to their relationship to that extent. All she knew was from Adam's side, and she didn't know how Dominic felt. 

Dominic turned to face Jean. 

"Do you want to go out on an unusual style date?" Said Dominic of a sudden. 

Jean just blinked at Dominic's words.
