A Game Of Deceit with the Billionaire 120
Vanessa's pov.I heard a knock on my door, my eyes snapping there as I waited for who it was to come in. I was sure it was Zira's personal assistant, but I was shocked to see that it was Cole. His hand was in his pocket, and he had a worried expression on his face.His hands left the door, and he walked into the office, fully showing me his body."It's time for the meeting, we have to get going," he said with his hands in his pocket, his eyes fixed on me while he studied all I was doing.My eyes were fixed on the bright screen of my computer, my hands fixed on the keyboard as I replied to some important mails.There was no way I would reply to anything he was saying, not after what I was seeing. The way he acted around Zira made me a little bit suspicious. He was always defending her, and trying to avoid my clash with her."Tell me what exactly is wrong. You haven't even looked at me since I walked into the office. What is the matter?" Cole was worried, moving to where I was, his hand

Zira's pov.After a lot of driving, and drama, we finally got to the Fancy restaurant. I saw how her eyes darted around in shock, even mine as well.This wasn't the first time I had been here. Mary had brought me here so I could get familiar with the staff, and so the plan for today can be properly executed. I was so happy, I was doing exactly what Mary wanted, and now, I'm living the life of a rid kid. It was really something I was always looking forward to."Wow, you have quite an expensive taste," Cole commented, his eyes moving around before coming to land on me.I nodded my head, telling him how I wanted nothing but the best for the meeting. Also going ahead to explain that he was a big businessman who should be treated with the respect he needs.Cole smirked, telling me that wasn't necessary, but I argued, and just then, she interrupted with an angry look on her face.Vanessa was being a huge pain in the neck, and maybe today would finally be the day that she would leave Cole, a

Vanessa's pov.I watched them from a distance that wasn't too far, trying to understand their language because they were laughing way too much for it to be normal laughter. I saw love in her eyes for Cole, and the way she talked with him riled me up badly.Rolling my eyes, I could only watch them for a long time, that was until Sarah's hands touched me on the shoulder, making my eyes snap towards her direction."Are you alright?" She asked me, who was still clenching her jaws in anger."Yes, yes, I am fine." I replied with fear in my eyes, but I was able to hide it away from her. She was flirting with Cole, and he wasn't even doing anything about it.Turning my head to the girl who had a big smile on my face, I noticed she had been smiling at me, and I felt something fishy.She told me the way I looked at Cole showed something deeper, but the only reply I could give her was that we had something deeper that must be private."What?" She was curious, her inquisitive nature, making her p

Vanessa's pov.My eyes darted around when I saw what was going on, and from the corner of my eyes, I could see Sarah, who was equally shocked as what happened as well."What the hell is wrong with you?!" She yelled, veins popping out of her head. It was Zira yelling, and she had pushed herself up from her chair with anger on her face. She couldn't even say anything because a red wine spilled on her white dress."Do you know what's going on?" I asked Sarah who equally nodded negatively, pushing herself up from the chair as she rushed to her boss's side. I did the same thing, but before I could get to where he was, I saw him helping her clean what couldn't be cleaned on her dress."Cole, he stained my dress!" She cried, using her hands to hold on to Cole as she pretended to sob. It was a really heartbreaking sight for me.Another woman was in the arms of my arm, and was getting comfort. It could be any other person, but not Mary."Cole?" I called in merely a whisper, but he turned to m

Vanessa's pov.I was at the back of the car, my lips squeezed to the side as the car moved. Zira made today the worst day of my life, and I hated the fact that Cole was actually not listening to me at this point."Cole, you should drop me here, my driver would come pick me up right now. He had been trailing you." Zira, who had been checking her phone, spoke to Cole. It was good that she was going to leave sooner because Cole, and I had something important to talk about."Are you sure about that?" Cole asked, making my heart thud loudly in my chest. Why was he caring about what she wanted? She had just told him that she wanted to drop down here."Um Cole, I think you should listen to Zira, she's a very busy woman." "Yeah, Vanessa is right." She surprisingly supported me, and I couldn't help but think this was one of her tricks. I had faced enough for one day. I had tried my best to be able to understand what was doing, but right now, he was acting crazy. He was supposed to care for me

Cole's pov."What?" My ears couldn't believe what they had just heard, she must be bluffing about what she said because I knew that she would never say such to me."You're in love with Zira, admit it already!" She yelled at my face when I showed her no signs of leaving her house.I could only use my hands to massage my temples, not believing what she had just said to me. If only she knew that I loved her so much, just her."I'm also leaving the company, I can't stand her anymore!" My eyes widened, raising up to meet her gaze as I moved closer to her. She couldn't do that, she was supposed to be my love, and was supposed to stand by me."What are you saying?" "What should have been said from the day I got slapped, Cole, can't you see?" That was when I had gotten enough. She was jealous, and I hated the fact that she was saying all these in my face. I was trying my best to get along with her, and she was…"Are you jealous?" I grabbed both their shoulders, planting kisses as I turned

Lola's pov.I sat down with Sheldon by my side, watching a romantic movie when we heard a knock on the door.His eyes turned towards me, wondering if I was expecting anyone, but the truth was I wasn't expecting anyone.Maybe it's the maids?" He asked me, causing me to frown. I wasn't really happy about it, and I was going to make anyone who interrupted my time with the love of my life will pay dearly."What are you planning to do?" He asked with a raised brow, watching as I rushed down from the bed with a serious look on my face.My forehead was filled with Creased lines, and my teeth were clenched together when I moved towards the door.When I got to the door, my hands grabbed the knob, and when I pulled it open, and I was about to scream, I stopped when I saw the person that was standing there in front of me, and I could only rush to hug him."Dad!" I yelled, gasping in excitement. I was really happy, but then, I had to look at the watch on my hand to check the time."Darling, I cam

Mary's pov.I sat down on the workdesk in my room, doing some work on my computer with smiles embedded on my face. With Cole's support, my company had grown so well, and I couldn't help, but celebrate. It was nice that using Zira gave me many opportunities including, making Vanessa's life a mess.Speaking of messes, i was expecting a call from her to at tell me how the day went. It was really boring to work all at, and the nights as well, that's why I didn't hesitate to catch up on the details. Clara was too busy with Adrian, and they were now in a relationship, so she spent most of her time at his place, and we hardly even speak."Ring, ring." My phone buzzed, making me leave the work I was doing as I glanced at the phone to see who it was. When I saw it was Zira, I totally abandoned my work, moving away from the desk to my comfortable bed that I had missed so much."Good evening boss," she greeted, and from the way she spoke, I had a feeling it was good news. My grin widened, sprea

Vanessa's pov.I had been trying to get my phone plugged in all day, but it seemed like everything was just off. I plugged my phone, and then I was hocked at the number of voice mails I got when I turned it on."Vanessa, it's Cole. Please... I nees you, I just lost my mom, your the only one I can be able to count on, please..." Hearing it, my phone dropped from my hands, and I instantly felt like the whole world was about to crumble."No, no!" I was having a serious headache, but Cole needed me the most now. With that I grab my purse and rushed out of the house halting a cab which was used to get to Cole's house.I never thought I was going to come here anytime soon, but here I was, standing with my eyes watching the gate as I hoped he was going to be fine.When I knocked on the door, the gate keeper opened up, and when so that it was me, he rushed to my side I'm pulling into the house, telling me Cole wasn't all right."I know that, that's why I'm here."

Cole's pov.The driver questions me about what was happening, but I kept short, instructioning him to drive. Tried calling the only person I knew I could reach out to, but then things didn't go as planned. Her phone was switched off, and I dropped a couple of voice messages just to tell her how I was feeling."Hey Vanessa, I feel really terrible, please come over, please..." I begged with everything that in me, my eyes burning as I dropped the phone in the car after sending the last voice message.My heart was beating hard in my chest, and I saw how she was acting. If only she was by my side, she would know the right words to say to me just to calm me down.Getting home, I rushed to my room, avoiding my daughter who was probably back from school. I didn't even know how to tell her the news, but I knew that I couldn't tell her now. She was. It in the right state of mind now."Please... Mom, don't leave me.." I placed my head on my pillow, and I wept for a little while. My eyes was fil

At first I thought you was tired from The journey, but after a while, I realise that it was becoming too constant for how to catch a nap.

I strolled down the stairs, tired as I moved. It has been a long day since I returned fodm the office, and the fact that Vanessa didn't even speak to me expect in times where she came to hand me files broke my heart deeply."Mom?" I called, and immediately saw something fall out from her hand. She was shocked, and tried to pick it up, but rushed there to meet her.I stared at her suspiciously asking her about what was in her hands when she tried to hide them even more."Mom, what are those?"

Mary's pov.I was in my room, scrolling some videos on my phone when she came out of nowhere. She was looking angry, but then she hid it before getting to where I was.It was Clara. She was sitting there, her eyes darting around in anger, yet she couldn't tell me what the problem was to my face directly. I kept quiet, acting like she was not in the room, and then she finally spoke."You said you've gotten over Cole, why then did you do that to them, huh?" My brows furrowed trying to understand what she was talking about, but then it want just possible, it seemed like there was something wrong with her. What the hell was she talking about?I knew that she didn't know anything about the whole matter, but then she was acting like she did which finally caught my attention."Clara, go straight to the point, what the fuck are you talking about, huh?"

Cole's pov.I had to send Snow to her bedroom. I was meant to go into the bathroom to freshen up before I would go down for breakfast. It was obvious I wasn't going to the office today because I was really tired, and I also needed to find a way to get Vanessa back.Speaking of Vanessa, could it be that mother came back because of her? My eyes widened when I came out of the bathroom. She was here to ruin my relationship with Vanessa just like she did with my first woman.Anger flooded my mind, and I instantly felt like tearing her apart. As a mother she was supposed to support me, not to ruin my relationships with the woman I loved.Thinking of that alone made me really furious, and I felt like storming to her room to ask her questions, but then, what could I possibly ask her.I moved out of my room, and immediately bumped into one of the maids. She was sorry, apologizing almost immediately, but I didn't have time for that. I wasn't to know why she was here."Why are you here?" I stro

Cole's pov.I came back from the engagement looking really tired, my eyes heavy, just like my heart as I moved up the stairs. I was going to see the only person who could make me smile at this moment, my little daughter, Snow, and looking at the time, it was obvious that the servants put her asleep.When I got to the front of her door, I sighed, pushing the door open I was greeted by a sad look on her face. Her window wasn't covered by the cutton, and her lights were still on. I knew the maids weren't the ones who did this. She was just too smart, and might have pretended to sleep just to get the maids out of the place.Pushing that aside, I moved to where she laid in the bed like sleeping beauty, her eyes were closed, and her hands were placed togther under her pillow. She was just so cute.Sitting at the corner of the bed, I exhaled, starting a conversation with her just to tell he how rough my night had been."What's wrong snow, I'm doing all I can to make the relationship work.

I should have known it was sabotaged, and now Lola wants absolutely nothing from me. The disappointment in her eyes were the last and most horrible look I can never forget. The love I have for her hasn't even reduced a bit. I thought about a new apology strategy to get Lola back as I walked to my office. Just as I got to the door to my office, I saw two muscular guys in black coats who stood side by side.“May I help you guys?”They gave me a strong stare with no words as they restricted me from getting into the office. I was beginning to get scared of them because they didn't seem pleasant at all as I tried to get passed them again.“I got some work to do, so if you don't-”The man on the left showed me the left area of his jacket, which revealed a pistol slotted at the waist of his trousers.“God!
