My Billionaire Bully

The Angel of America

CHAPTER 1

Axel's POV

"What happened last night?" Aaron asked me, but I needed to give him more attention, so I gave it to the lady in front of me. I felt Aaron's eyes narrowing down to where I was staring at. "You know her?" He tapped my shoulder.

I was about to kick off, telling my ordeal of what happened yesterday after he had left, but the lady I had a somewhat one-night stand with was literally a few meters away from where I was seated – in my own house, staring at me in the eyes. I did not notice Jared, who helped with the door, until I stole glances at him coming towards me.

"Are you experiencing love at first sight?" Jared leaned forward and whispered into my ear. It did the trick -- I pulled my focus away from her and fixed it on Jared. "It is just a question. Don't kill me with your eyes."

I was more angry than surprised. "What are you doing here?" I could feel the coldness of my voice, and I knew I did well instilling fear into my words. I was expecting a reply from her when my phone rang – Dad. I heaved a sigh, picked up the call, and waited for him to speak.

"Son!" it was obvious he was outdoors, maybe enjoying his life while I was here stuck to a company I didn't want to be involved with. "Is she there with you?" I heard him speak and realized I still needed to reply to his first word.

"Who?" I managed to catch up with what he was trying to tell me.

"Mrs. Norman's daughter!"

"Mrs. Norman has a daughter?"

"Yes, of course! She graduated from the University of Toronto and is back here in New York to help you run my company – our company."

"What's her name?" I asked my father, stealing glances at the girl in my house.

"Natalie!" he responded.

I took a sneak peek at the lady. "What is your name?" I asked, hoping her name would be different from what my father said.

"Natalie." I had a little hope. It might be a coincidence. I was on giving myself hope until she shattered it. "Natalie Norman. The daughter of the popular Norman family."

With my mouth opened wide, I could hear my father talk and my two closest friends telling me to respond to my father; But the only thing ringing in my ear was. "The Angel of America!"

A spank on my head brought me back to reality, and I yelled. "What was that for!?"

"Listen to your father." Aaron pointed at the phone in my hands.

"Have you seen the letter I dropped?" My father asked me.

"Yes, I have," I replied, picking up the letter and reading it silently.

"Alright then, have a nice time without me!" He disconnected the call.

It was even up to a minute before I received a file on my phone when another call entered. I was about to rant when I saw it was an unknown number -- I picked it up.

"Hello, Mr. Axel. I'll save our time and get straight to why I called. I need the publishing rights of Eden Myers's books." What audacity, I thought. "I know you'll strongly disagree, but I sent you a file that would leave you no choice. Watch it." He spoke. I removed the phone from my ear as I played what the caller had sent – The content was a s*x tape with me in it. "Imagine that one going out to the world. I bet the angelic angel who might still be in your bed won't think twice before agreeing to my offer." He disconnected the call.

I was left to think about my decision. I picked up the letter my father had left, it reads, "Take care of the company in my stead, I know I have you a big task, but I sent a helper. Against all odds, make sure you renew the contract with Eden Myers. My source tells me the book is with the editor now, and many long expect it of people. It is the leaping stone to make the world know about Bookgasm. Inc. Make me proud, son."

But just how can I do that with this sitting on my laps.

For Christ sake, what was supposed to be a night of passion has turned to a night of horror and now I think I am in big trouble.

I've always wanted to make dad proud, and just when I get the chance to prove myself, some anonymous freak wants to take the chance away from me.

But no, that would not happen.

There is no way in this world that I would let him take it from me.

I have to make out a plan, one that isn't too risky and wouldn't make me lose the Eden Myers publishing rights or make this freak leak out my s*x tape.

"Boo." Aaron sneaks up on me from behind and as much as I try to act like it didn't faze me, I'm shook.

"Yo what's up bro, why do you act like you've seen a ghost?" He asks and I shake my head.

"No..nothing bro."

"Geez, you sound so nervous." He chuckled as he walked in front of me, blocking my vision.

"Geez bro, get out of my sight." I give him a light punch in his belly.

But even though I felt energised earlier, I felt so weak and my right hand felt heavy as I raised it up to hit him.

"Was it the call or did the beauty get to you? Bro, you're willing so hard over this girl." He says and I let out a nervous chuckle.

But I do not give him a reply after.

He pauses and I can tell that he noticed something, but just when I think he would say something serious and prove himself as my best friend,he continues in his entirely unserious tone.

"Plus your punch is so weak, did she take out all of your strength last night? Uhn?" He asks again, but the strength left in me is only enough for a grin.

I just want to find some peace and quiet and find a solution to the situation I have on ground.

"f*****g say something, will you." He says and gives me a light punch on my shoulder.

"What do you expect me to say, uhn?" My voice definitely came out weak, but I can't make him suspect that something is wrong, at least not now, not yet.
