My Billionaire Ex-boyfriend

Happy Birthday Keno!

Keno

“Get out.”

The shorter guy looked back and commanded me.

My throat was all hoarse and painful from all the screaming I did in the car as we travelled for I had no idea how many minutes or hours as all I did inside the car was yell and asked for help when I finally realized what was happening.

“We’re here.”

I ran towards the window and checked outside.

It was still raining and the surrounding was very dark.

It’s obvious how we were in the middle of nowhere.

And even if we were somewhere, I wouldn’t know still as the vehicle was overly tinted and the surrounding was very dark because of the rain.

“Where are we? What are you going to do to me!?! I don’t have any money. No one would give you a ransom in exchange for me. I’m broke and orphaned. I’m also unhealthy, I didn’t have enough nutrients in my body so my organs wouldn’t be of any value in the black market so please. Please, just let me go. I swear, I won’t tell anyone about this please.” 

I was sure these were bad men out to get an unsuspecting guy all soaked in the rain in the middle of the night in a deserted alley.

I had heard and read about these people in the news but I really didn’t pay much attention then.

I was busy earning a living and surviving that I didn’t have time to bother with news that didn’t concern me until then.

Damn!

I should really have planned my escape from my toxic relatives a little better than just running away in the middle of the night with a storm ranging above me.

“Sir—!”

I was about to plead again when the shorter guy cut me off.

“Will you just get off so I could go back to watching my favorite tv series?”

He snapped and I couldn’t help but to sat back on my seat.

“Hey! Talk to him nicely. The boss would not like it if he heard about you chiding his man.”

Oh my god!

The boss?

His man?!?

Am I being sold to a dirty old s****l predator!?!

“Sir, please—.”

The tall guy looked at me with an amused look on his face.

“You can go and have a change of clothes now. The boss is waiting for you.

He said as he reached and opened the door on my left and nodded for me to get off the car.

The anxiety and nervousness I felt earlier was replaced by sudden awe and confusion when I realized what was on the other side of what seemingly the darkest place I saw earlier.

I looked around and realized that my scared ass could have pushed my eyes to play a trick on me as instead of a pitch black forest, it was a small hill surrounded by the city lights where a two story lavishly lit extravagant house was located in the center of it, was right before my very eyes.

I looked around to check on it once again, and to make sure I was not imagining things.

“Go on, they’re expecting you.”

The tall guy said and out of nowhere, three women in the same outfit advanced towards me.

“Good evening.”

They all greeted in unison and I could only nod in response.

And I was totally lost with what happened next.

The first girl put a warm blanket around me and a small towel on my head.

Funny how only then did I realized I was cold and shivering.

It was not that cold inside the car earlier despite me being soaked.

The girl started drying my hair when I asked her to stop and do it myself instead all the while I saw the second girl gathering my wet stuff from the car into the basket that she was carrying.

I looked around to see what the third girl was up to only to be surprised to see her holding a huge umbrella to protect all of us from the rain that’s still falling.

“Shall we get inside sir? Your warm bath is waiting for you.”

The third girl smiled and showed me the way as the other girls.

I was still so confused with what’s happening but I found myself walking with them as we crossed a few meter of the patio towards the main house.

The first girl opened the main door and just when I thought the outside look of the house was enough to take my breath away, I was wrong, big time!

I could not help but gasp when I finally saw the inside of the house. 

There was a huge wooden staircase in the middle of the house that leads to the second floor.

On the left was the huge living room with full on wooded furniture and colorful paintings.

There was also the huge glass door that was closed for the evening as I bet because of the rain but it was not able to hide the open space garden and the swimming pool behind it.

I looked to the opposite end and saw the grandeur of the dining area.

I couldn’t help but blink at what I was seeing.

I had to stop describing everything in my mind as I thought I was going to finally pass out.

What would someone this rich want from a meager like me!?!

“Shall we go to your room now?”

I heard the second girl holding my stuff in the basket cleaned her throat before she regarded me.

“My. My room? I have a room?”

I looked at the three of them who seemed so amused.

I just noticed how the three of them seemed to have the same age as I did.

They’re way too young and pretty to be accessories to a crime like this.

Also, how can they smile so fondly at me when they knew very well what their boss was about to do to me!?!

“Yes. Young master had it specially prepared for you before hand.”

Young master?

Earlier it was the boss.

Young master?

The boss!?!

There were two?

And their titles all sounded like those of the villains on TVs and movies that were always up to no good.

“Wait. Where am I!?! And seriously, what are you guys going to do to me!?!”

I couldn’t help but take a step back as I said all those things but girl number three was quick to stop me.

She had already discarded the umbrella from earlier.

“Please, just go to your room and change. Everything will be explained to you later on.”

She said calmly at me and I could not help but think, maybe, just maybe, if I would pushed them off the way, I’ll be able to make my escape.

After all, I’m a man and they’re women.

Although there were three of them, with how petite they were, I thought I could take my chance.

“We all know taekwondo, judo and jujitsu. Young master said to never hesitate if you do something funny.”

The first girl was smiling as she said all those words to me and as much as I didn’t want to but I felt the fresh surge of fear tan through me.

I am so done for!

But.

They could just be bluffing me right?

I had to take my chances.

And since I thought, I’m gonna die anyway.

Right.

I took a deep breath before I made a move to push girl number two who was the closest to me, away when a loud voice from atop the stairs stopped me.

“I wouldn’t do that if I were you.”

We all looked up to where a middle age woman is standing in the middle of the stairs from above.

“I’m done making your bath. It’s all years now. Shall we?”

She was smiling so sweetly at me and I couldn’t help but think about how these women were possibly trained.

The could be fierce one minute and sweet the next.

Was this part of their modus operandi to make their victims crazy!?!

“Sir?”

The firs girl girl asked and I didn’t know why but I ended up following them to the stairs, and into ‘my room’.

Seriously, I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when I saw the room.

It looked straight out of a luxuries apartment brochure.

Even better than those I saw on the brochures they gave out in malls.

And the bed.

It had been so long since I slept on a real bed.

All these time, I was sleeping on a thin foam laid out on the floor every time I wanted to sleep.

But then again, it’s still not clear whether or not I will be dead on that bed tonight, so maybe I’ll just cry.

“Thank you ladies, I’ll take it from here.”

I heard the middle age woman told the three girls before they took their leave and closed the door to the room.

“Your stuff will all be ready for you tomorrow don’t worry. For now, the bathroom is there. And your change of clothes has also been prepared. There’s a a black button near the light switch, you can press it if you need anything. I’ll take my leave now.”

I nodded at the lady without actually hearing what she was saying as I was preoccupied with looking for ways to get out of there.

Still clutching on the warm blanket around me.

I first checked the door and as I expected, it was locked from the outside.

I opened the curtains as saw that there was a huge sliding door that was opened that leads to the balcony in the room.

My heart leaped with glee only to sink again when I looked down and saw how high I was from the ground.

If I would not die from the boss or the young master’s hand.

I would surely die from the fall.

And considering how I badly wanted to be out from my current t situation, it’s obvious how despite all the shvtty things that had been happening in my life, I didn’t want to die just yet.

I groaned inwardly and sneezed right after.

Shvt!

I almost forgot.

I was still wet from the rain earlier.

It would be bad if I get sick now.

Maybe I’ll just go for the bath then?

But I could just make myself stink so the boss or the young master or whoever would not dare touch me with the smell.

Right.

I could even look for something to make me stink some more.

I nodded with the idea as I discarded the blanket around me and run for the bath.

But once again, when I opened the door towards the bathroom, I was slapped with the reality of my life.

Why the bathroom was even bigger than the room I had at aunty’s for years and it smelled way nicer too.

There was a huge bath in the corner now filled with bubbles and a relaxing scent of I didn’t know what with the huge shower stand on one corner while the comfort room was on the other  side divided by the glass door.

There was no way I would  find anything stinky in this place.

I sighed as I sat on the edge of the tub and ended up playing with the water bubbles in it and the next thing I knew, I was splurging on the tub while watching random tv I didn’t know was installed on one  corner when I looked up.

Some time later, I woke up on a smooth and bed smelling like flower blossoms and I just had to sat up.

I was supposedly in the tub how did I get here!?!

I looked around the dark room with only a candle lit in a corner.

So rich people could not also get away from black outs I see?

I scoffed when I noticed a movement near the lit candle and I had to rub my eyes to make sure that my eyes were not playing tricks on me again when I saw how the candle was flying in the air towards me only to see someone holding it on a small size cake!?!

I squinted to make form of the person with the little light from the candle and I just had to rub my eyes again.

The guy smiled that smile I had not seen for a long time.

But wait.

It can’t be.

I’m just dreaming right?

It’s impossible that he’s here.

Maybe mentioning his name would make him go away.

And so I did.

“Apollo!?!”

I whispered.

And I saw him smiled again.

“Happy birthday, Keno!”
