Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

****

Ben sat on the couch in his room lost in thought. He was thinking about what the mysterious woman told him.

She actually offered him a proposal. She introduced herself as Miss Zoey, an investee. She wants Ben to invest his money in her company and stand a chance to win triple of what he has.

He told her, he would give it a thought and she gave him his business card and asked him to call her whatever decision he comes to, be it positive or negative.

He has six million presently, if he invest in her company he will have eighteen million dollars. That’s a lot of money.

He will pay the depth of the company and have extra eight million. Wow, he is going to prove this dad wrong.

He was still deep in thought when Sheila walked in sobbing. He wondered what is wrong with her. She looked excited when she was leaving the house, why is she back in tears

“What happened to you?” He asked as she walked closer. “He dumped me, he told me he never loved me that he has always loved that b*tch and her alone. He doesn’t give a damn about me! He Left me” she cried as she fell on the floor.

” Why are you crying? He already told you countless times about his real feeling but you decided to act like a fool and ignore him.

You know Sheila, I don’t understand you sometimes. Why do you keep forcing yourself on him? You gave him the right to treat you like a piece of trash” he said and shook his head in pity.

” Are you saying it’s my fault? It is my fault for loving him, how can you say that? I am heartbroken you should console me not multiplying my problem” she said as the tears in her eyes refused to stop falling.

” Console? Why will I do that? Do you know the difference between you and Sharon?” He asked and she kept mute.

” She doesn’t force herself on people, when they don’t want her she walks away. You guys are really opposite” he said

” Why do you keep comparing me to that orphan? I am your sister! Do you wish to her as a sister instead?” She asked.

” Yes …. f*cking yes, I am sick and tired of your childish behavior!” She snapped.

” I hate you!” She yelled before running to her room.

Ben sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. He was angry not at anyone in particular but at the circumstances he found himself in.

He has to find a way to get out of this f*cking problem. He already found a solution to the first.

He reached for his pocket and took out a business card. He smiled as he saw the name *Zoey*. “you will be the antidote to my disease” he thought as he smirked.

“Dear what happened?” Mrs Winston asked her daughter as she rushed to her room.

She was sitting on the floor beside the bed. She hugged her knee to herself as she soak her clothes in tears.

“Mom” she cried with her lips shivering her temperature rising and her eyes as red as that of a vampire.

“Why are you crying?” She asked with worried written all over her face.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Who wouldn’t be? Your one and only precious pregnant daughter is crying.

“It’s hurts” she cried. “Where does it hurt? Tell me” her mother demanded.

“My heart mom, it hurts… a lot” she cried more holding her chest.

” Your heart? What happened to it?” Mrs Winston asked still finding everything she said confusing.

“Aiden broke it and it’s hurts, the pain is unbearable mommy!” She wailed as her whole body shiver.

” Aiden?” She called like a question and she nodded. “He broke up with me. He told me he will never marry me, that I am nothing but his baby mama” she explained.

” How dare he?!” She growled. ” Mom I am going to have my baby without getting married and I will really bring disgrace to our family!” She said bitterly.

Mrs Winston stared at her with pity before pulling her into a hug. Sheila rest her head on her mother as she slowly drifted to sleep.

Mrs Winston called Ben to help her carry Sheila on the bed. She stared into her husband’s room after that.

“What’s wrong?” He asked as he stopped doing whatever it was that he was doing on his phone.

“You have to do something!” She demanded

“About what?” He inquired. ” Our kids, especially Sheila, you just can’t turn a blind eye on her. She is pregnant and her fiancee is breaking up with her, you just can’t sit here and pretend like nothing is happening.

We should stop turning a blind eye on everything. They are kids and they made a mistake it’s only proper for them to make mistakes. Forgive them. Please stop punishing them this way” she pleaded as her voice become shaky with every word she utter.

“You have to tell me this instant!” Sharon yell as she folded her arms on her breast.

“I don’t want to, I will tell you when the time is right” he said.

” And when will that be if I may ask?” She said, sarcastically and he rolled his eyes.

She has been disturbing him since morning about why he is keeping him being able to walk a secret.

She wants him to tell her but he didn’t want to. It is actually for her own good. Only God knows what they will do to her if she knows the truth.

“Jasper we are married for Pete’s sake why won’t you let me into your life?” She asked as tears form in her eyes with pain in her voice.

“You are in my life” he replied, “yeah I guess, if not for Tia I don’t think I will have a chance in this house. You wouldn’t have married me would you?” She ask

That’s not true, he loves her and he married her because he cares about her and wants to protect her.

“That’s not true…. I never married you because of that” he denied.

” I told you my secrets, I told you about my past, I told you about my parents dying a mysterious death. My uncle and aunt maltreating me.

My ex fiancee dumping me for my suppose sister who is already pregnant for him when he has never kissed me, I told you everything but you…. You just decide to keep everything a secret not minding how I will feel” she said and turn to leave.

” I should be grateful to Tia I guess since I started living in this house because of her” she said bitterly.

“I told you that’s not true, I married you because….” She cut him short, ” I don’t want to hear it, you will probably cook up some lies”

He wanted to say something but she stormed out of the room shutting the door in his face.

” I love you… I married you because I am in love with you Sharon Winston Madon” he mumble to himself as he stood up from the bed.

Sharon saw Jimmy on her way out and ran past him, she doesn’t understand why it hurts like hell that he is keeping secrets from her.

She wants him to trust her, she wants him to confined in him. What’s the point of being married to him if he won’t share his secrets with him.

She ran into Tia’s room and watched her sleep peacefully. Babies are lucky, they don’t fall in love, they don’t get heartache, they don’t fight with others all they do is eat and sleep.

She really wishes to be a baby, she sat on the couch as hot tears prick her eyes.

“Are you alright?” She heard Jimmy ask as he sat beside her.

“I don’t know, I don’t think so” she blunted as the tears successfully left her eyes.

“Here aunt Lena hugs me whenever whenever I feel sad” he said hugging her.

” Thank you” she muttered as she hugged him tightly, she sniffed as tears continued to fall from her eyes.

“Boss they are already here” Janiece informed and Aiden reluctantly stood up. After his meeting with Sheila he hasn’t been himself.

He loath himself for what he did to Sharon and he just wish to ask for forgiveness. He stared at the file in front of him and stood up, he grabbed it and followed Janiece who led the way.

“Good evening ma”am” he greeted the lady who was standing beside the window.

“The view is beautiful from up here” the lady said not turning around.

The voice sounded farmiliar and he wondered where he heard it.

His jaw dropped as he the lady stared around. “You” he exclaimed

“Yeah nice to see you again, Aiden Kings” .
