Agreement with a billionaire

Untitled Episode

Laura’s gaze stays hard, as she stares back at a man whom not only used her but caused her pain which still aches her till date.

“What are you doing here?” Laura’s words come, as detest cower her tone.

“Can we talk Laura,” Harry speaks, while Laura’s gaze shows her displeasure.

“Oh you do not get to mention my name or ask me if we can talk.” Pain evident in Laura’s words as she speaks, taking attention to be on her when her voice raises. Seeing that she is causing a scene, Laura walks out of the store, forgetting Georgia whom is inside.

“Laura, please just give me a minute.” Harry whom is not ready to take a response otherwise, follows Laura. Laura stops in her tracks, turning back to scoff out in disbelieve at a man whom she once gave her all to. Laura takes in Harry’s appearance as so much to say, he looks exactly the same as how he always is.

“A minute Harry? From your mouth?” Laura inquires with audacity in her tone. “Do you forget what you did to me? How you used me? And now you ask a minute from me?” Laura in disbelieve questions Harry.

“And I am sorry. If I could go back in time and reverse it …”

“Except you can’t. And the deed is done.” Laura cuts Harry off his words. “How did you even find me?” Laura questions, with perplexity in her.

“I heard about your marriage with Adrian Alimson.” Harry says, taking Laura’s scoff to go even louder.

“Of course. And now you’re back to beg me to take you back, because you see that I am happily married to my husband and didn’t succumb to your wickedness like you wanted me to.” Laura spits to Harry face.

“And do you think Adrian is any better than I was?” Harry takes Laura by stun with his words. “Men like Adrian do not love a woman,” Laura runs a hand through her hair, as Harry’s words seems to be driving her insane.

“And men like you do?” Laura questions Harry. “Look at my finger Harry, what do you see?” Laura shoves her left finger to Harry’s face. “A f*****g wedding ring. Adrian married me with his vows true to me, something you never did and never could because you are nothing but a selfish f*****g man.” For the first time ever, Laura curses more than she ever has in her entire life.

“Did you even think or wonder as to how I survived? No I bet not, because you didn’t care, so don’t talk to me about Adrian, because he has done way more than you ever thought of doing.” Laura speaks truthfully.

“I am the only man whom ever truly loved you Laura and you know it.” Harry tells her, as Laura feels her patience slipping away.

“No I don’t Harry. I don’t, because if that is what you call love then I want no remince of it. Where were you when I was trolled? Where were you when the only family whom I had left died? Where were you when I lost everything?” Laura questions the man in front of her. “Oh I forgot, you were enjoying the game of being the perfect man,” Laura chuckles dryly, as her French accent slips off her tongue. “So Harry, listen and listen carefully, the next time you stop me or talk to me, I promise you that I will pursue every legal action against you, and you must know that I will win, for incase you haven’t heard, I’m a billionaire’s wife now, and not just a former Englishman ex girlfriend.” Laura states vividly to Harry, whom stares at Laura in disbelieve, for the Laura he knows, never speaks against him.

Laura turns her back to leave Harry, as when she begins walking, she feels a pair of hand pull her back, taking her to stare back at Harry having his hands on her.

“Take your hands off me, or I swear to God I will do something you will regret.” Laura with hatred showcasing evidently in her eyes, stares at Harry’s hand on hers, whom proves stubborn by retaining his grip on Laura. Laura is about to speak another word, when she feels Harry’s hand drop from hers, as one will think it his willing which such happens, but it is false, as it is due to the cold banana smoothie that pours directly onto his head.

“You son of a b***h, she said let go of her.” Laura’s gaze moves to see her best friend Georgia whom comes from behind Harry, with the last drop of her smoothie falling to his head. Laura’s gaze widen at the acts of her best friend , as attention from persons in the mall is taken to them, as some bring out their phones to record, while a crowd begins to circle them.

Harry’s gaze turning to fury, as he stares at Georgia dangerously, yet, Georgia whom is a brave woman neither moves, but stands her ground.

“Touch her again and it won’t just be a smoothie falling on you.” Georgia speaks confidently.

“Is this how you repay me, after everything I did for you?” Harry’s words come, for if the two friends is not in a solemn situation, they will laugh at how ridiculous he looks.

“Shut your f*****g mouth, you asshole.” Georgia speaks as her own hatred supersedes Laura own. “You nearly destroyed her and you come back here because she is doing extremely well than your broke ass could ever give to her.” Georgia blasts to Harry’s face. “Thank your stars that her husband is not here while you harass her, for unlike you, he doesn’t joke with Laura.” Georgia adds.

“You will regret this Georgia,” Harry makes promises, as his gaze rests hard on Georgia.

“Oh bring it on Harry, unlike how you know me, this time I will stand my ground.” Laura intervenes while glaring at Harry, as when Harry decides to respond, security guards of the mall intervenes, taking Harry to be the culprit of the harassment.

————————-

Laura sniffs on the couch where she lies, as memories of her encounter with Harry surfaces her mind, such that she feels pain aching her heart at the audacity he has to meet her, with no remorse of what it is he did to her.

Laura did not share the full story of her experience with her ex boyfriend to Adrian, for she misses to speak of the fact that she did carry his child, but took a miscarriage of it not long after, when realization of his schemes hit her. The pain in Laura’s heart becomes unbearable, such that she finds her self sobbing hard with her voice audible enough for anyone in the building to hear, as at the time which she needs closure the most, neither Georgia nor Adrian is around to provide it for her.

Laura wipes her tears, as her sob dies down when a pop up notification alerts on her phone, taking her to open it. As though life is willing to punish Laura for offenses which people in her life commits, Laura’s gaze go cold, while she reads the news of the pop up notification that arrives to her phone.

‘Months after Billionaire’s wedding, Adrian Alimson, he is involved in s****l scandal with an English Victoria secret model.’

Tears fail to exit from Laura’s eyes, as she rereads the news over and over again, with her mind choosing to be in denial of what it is she sees. Not believing a word unless she hears it from the source, Laura dials Adrian’s number, as it rings but no response. She dials again and again, yet, still no response from Adrian, whom claim to be her husband.

Laura puts two and two together, as she recalls Adrian did tell her the location of his trip to be London, which takes the news to be most likely true, for he is in a scandal with an English model. Laura finds her world tearing right in front of her, her trust going into betrayal all over again, as Harry’s words begins to ring in her ears.

‘Men like Adrian can not love a woman.”
