The Billionairess Wants Me Back

Chapter 6

SHULAMITE

I broke my boyfriend's head!

That was what happened that day, which I actually regret so much. I never wanted to hurt him that way, but I couldn't hold myself back when he started insulting me and since I don't know how to run my mouth like him, I had resorted to violence.

My sister had scolded me very well after I told her what had happened.

I will try to control myself next time, I don't want to hurt him like that ever again.

When I saw him looking so devastated and desolate after drinking, I felt so bad within me. He looked so pathetic and I felt my heart clench for no reason, knowing that I'm the one behind his pain. His devastated appearance pulled a string at my hardened heart, why?

I know that I'm hurting him by not loving him back.

I mean, we were better than this before, even without me loving him back, but everything just died down because I got fade up.

That's another problem that I have. I gets tired of something so easily and when this happens, all my likeness for that thing dies down.

I have been considering moving out, but I just don't know what I'm still doing there.

It's concerning and baffling that I can't seem to make this decision, but I have to.

I need to leave that house before its too late, because it's already obvious that we can't work out.

I have to return to my lonely and less homey home.

Hmmmm....I sighed as I brushed my hand over the side of my face.

"Ma'am, are you tired?"

I was startled by the voice of my secretary who pulled me back to reality. I can't believe that I'm even thinking about Theophilus, instead of the problem at hand.

"No, I'm fine" I forced a smile onto my hard and stern face.

The company that I was supposed to sign a deal with, suddenly rejected the proposal. I had to prepare another one, that's why Yeti is here.

They must accept this one, if not, I will use the dark and unpleasant way to obtain their acceptance. I need this collaboration with them as it would boost my company and take it to the next level.

I don't take No for an answer.

I know I'm being too hard on Yeti, my secretary, but I have to. I will pay her for the overtime.

We were currently in my office, as I didn't want her to come to my house. I have tried to make sure that my business life doesn't get to my boyfriend's ears, the reason, I don't know.

Maybe I just want this part of my life to remain mystery to him.

I know he would be grumbling like an old man by now, since I didn't even bother to leave any note behind.

It's Saturday, and instead of staying at home with him or hang out together like normal couples does, I am here working, which I know that he would think that I'm hanging out with other people. Although I don't really care about what he thinks.

I will make sure to leave that house as soon as possible and disappear from his life. I want him to live a good and satisfying life with the person that cares for him.

He needs someone that will reciprocate his love, not a cheater like me.

But before disappearing, I need to do something for him. I have to make sure that he secures a well paying Job after the course that he is taking in the university. I have to make plans for him to at least do a good job that would pay him nicely so he can take care of his sick old mother. If he can work and take of himself and his mother even without me there, that would be very nice.

At least, I know that I have paid him back for all the heart aches and pain I have caused him by cheating on him.

After sorting out the proposal and some paperwork, I allowed my secretary to go home first.

"Goodnight, ma" She bid her goodbye before making her way towards the door.

"Night, Yeti" I sent her a smile, nodding my head.

I slowly sat up from the couch and made my way towards the window, to the street that it's only source of light was the street lamp.

It's dark already, I said to myself with a sigh. It's not easy to run a company. A large one at that!

But I'm more than happy to make sure that my company grows bigger than that of my dad's.

That man can be very frustrating and competitive.

When I wanted to start this company, he had strictly advised me otherwise.

One, he believes that I will end up getting married to a man and then all my effort would go in vain.

And secondly, he thought that i would end up falling in love one day and dash a man all my money. Does that even make sense?

I mean, you have to give people the chance to prove themselves to you. But my mom had made sure to support my vision and goal, which is why till tomorrow, I will cherish that woman till I die.

She is my motivation, my zeal and the only person occupying my dark heart.

I will always remember my father's challenging advice because I think, it's because of him that I was able to persevere, never looked back and get to where I am today with the support of my lovely mother, Victoria.

My dad still doesn't trust, or acknowledge my efforts since I'm young and the chances of me making the wrong decision are still high.

But I promise myself to never, and I repeat never give in to his thoughts. I will definitely win against him over and over.

I have to prove him wrong;

Seriously, I don't know if that man's challenge is influencing my life in a good or bad way, but the truth is that I don't want him to see me fail in my course of believe.

I will grow thia company and surpass him no matter what. I will show him that no man would take away or bring down what I have suffered to build.

I don't know if this is a good thing but the determination to surpass my father and prove him wrong in every aspect might be the reason why I can't fall in love with anyone.

Just look at the handsome young man that I'm living with, yet my heart is still as hard as a rock.

He takes good care of me, he makes happy.

As the thought of him crossed my mind, my eyes fluttered close on their own volition as I imagined him.

His tall height, 6ft 2 to be precise. His muscular chest and firm abs and pecs that could make any woman to swoon to him. His cute brown eyes that always teases me whenever he raises his brows at me.

His flat stomach that has six pecs. He is the definition of handsomeness and even though I don't want to admit it, I like everything about him.

The way he wakes me up and feed me, the way he cuddles with me in the bed and the way he always looks into my eyes with sincerity and tell me that he loves me. I mean, who does that? Confessing their love all the time?

I sighed as I turned and made my way back to the couch.

I closed my laptop and put it inside my laptop bag, adjust my dark red suite before caring my black bag that fitted my my black shirt and black heel, I wake majestically towards the door as I made my way towards the elevator.

My driver was already waiting for me, so I hopped in immediately as he drove me towards Theo's apartment.

It's not that far from my office.

As usual, he stopped meters away from the house as I got down.

"Goodnight, ma'am"

He says as I got down.

I smiled at him. "Goodnight, Lucas" I gave my reply, as i made way towards the house.

This always reminds me of the the first time I met my boyfriend. He was just an ordinary taxi man.

After graduating from school, he found it difficult to get a descent Job because he had attended a school with no name. With the need to take care of his mother greater, he had put the one he had managed to secure at jeopardy. He was always missing work and so they had to sack him and ever since then, he had stopped looking for other nice Job as he became a taxi driver.

When we met, I had to force him to enroll in a big university with the trick that they were offering a scholarship. I didn't want him want to know that I was the one offering the one sponsoring the scholarship, because he won't accept it if he knew.

Hopefully, he would get a nice job when he is done.

I unlocked the door and walked into the room and sighed when I saw him sprayed on the couch, sleeping.

He must have been waiting for me.

I walked into the bedroom, remove my shoes and my dress before I walked back into the parlor with a blanket.

I tugged him very well into the couch and covered him with the blanket before making my way to the kitchen.

I'm feeling very hungry and I have to look for something to eat.

I widened my eyes in disbelief when I got into the kitchen and saw the food which I had made for him.

Why didn't he eat it?

The fried rice and chicken was left untouched, what exactly is going on in his head?

Can't he just act like a normal human and take something when it's being offered nicely?

I sigh, and decided to microwave the food and eat. I don't want the food to go to waste.

And besides, I'm very hungry.

Just when I was about to put a spoon of food into my mouth, he walked into the kitchen with sleepy eye.
