A Game Of Deceit with the Billionaire Nineteen
"Clothes?" I shivered as I spoke,"Umm..." I was lost for words and didn't know what to say."Dad, I gave her your clothes. She had a bath and..." "It's okay, darling." He kissed his daughter, walking up the stairs.As he moved on the stairs, he paused and without looking at me, he asked me to meet him in his study after he was done taking his bath. "Wait for me in the living room that is up. I'll call you," He ordered before disappearing into the hallway.It was like I felt a blow in my stomach and I couldn't stop myself from over-thinking."Yes-yes, sir," I stammered, gazing at the driver who gave me a look that said, 'it's gonna be alright.'I nodded and gulped before slowly going up the stairs to wait for him. I didn't care what was going to happen, I was tired of everything-the punishments, the embarrassment, and just everything.***When I got into the study after his call, he was already seated behind his desk."Sir..." I spoke when I entered the office, but his hands indicat

Cole's povThe buzzing of the alarm clock in my room caused me to jolt out of my sleep. It was five in the morning.I yawned, wiping my eyes with the back of my palm before getting off the bed. I recalled I had left Vanessa in my study, and I didn't waste time going there to check on the work I asked her to do.I was hoping she wasn't done with the work so I could find a way to punish her even more. That was what she would get for cheating on me with Sheldon. The thought of him and Lola made me cringe. I shoved them out of my head and proceeded down the hallway.When I got to my study door, I took a deep breath before grabbing the door knob and pushing it open. My eyes caught sight of Vanessa, whose head was on the desk. I fused my brows into a frown, displeased to see her asleep. She looked angelic, but I didn't see that because of my anger towards her. All I could see was a lazy employee who wasn't ready to do any work.I moved to the desk where she laid her head, resisting the u

Vanessa's povI didn't have time to rest because the moment I got home, I began to put my scattered apartment together."I hate you so much, Mr. Cole," I snarled. I didn't hate him. He was too handsome to be hated. What I hated was the fact that he always found a way to make me angry.Because I needed to be early today, I rushed into the bathroom and took a quick shower. I put on a red dress and a black jacket, matching it with black shoes. I packed my hair into a ponytail, sprayed on some deodorant before rushing out the door.It was almost seven thirty and I was supposed to be there before my boss arrived. I ran out of my house and made sure I secured the lock of my door before I stopped a taxi."Where to, ma'am?" He gazed at me from the rear view mirror."Trenton's Inc," I replied, feeling nervous about going late."Okay, ma'am." The drive to the office was a quiet one, and I was glad he was because with the way I felt, I didn't know if I would be able to talk properly."Thank yo

"You can leave now." He had taken his seat and was now wearing a cold expression towards him."Sir?" I asked again. I had expected him to ask me for something or to punish me as always."Go do your job as my P.A. Go to your office, you'll be called when needed." His words caused me to crease my brows into a frown. "Excuse me." I lowered my head before dragging my feet to the door. I gazed one last time at my unpredictable boss before I left the office."This guy is just unbelievable!" I yelled angrily inside of me as I settled down in my office. The day had already brightened up, and I started getting rid of all this paperwork on my desk.I was surprised he talked about me going to the two parties with him. I just didn't know that he could stand me since he was always all about yelling.I sighed and did not want to dwell much on my thoughts, I picked up one of the documents on my table and began to go through it."Ughh!" I rubbed my head with my fingers when I saw the telephone ring

My legs felt like jelly when I rose to my feet to pick up my bag and clear his table. I felt relief washing over me when I was done stacking the files neatly on his desk. At least, he didn't complain about the way I worked today. I walked out of the office and said goodbye to some of our colleagues before boarding a taxi."I'll make a stop at the nearest pie shop." I told the driver, and he nodded at my words.During the short drive, I gazed out the window, observing the city's tall buildings, lights, people wandering about, and everything that made New york come alive. Ever since I got this job, I hardly had time for myself, and I no longer strolled like before."We're here, ma'am. Am I to wait for you?" He asked, and I nodded in response before dropping from the car.As I walked into the pie shop, the door made a ringing sound, making an elderly woman who stood behind the counter aware of my presence. "Welcome to Maddy's pie. What can I get you?" She asked with a wide smile that

I rushed home, and after opening the door, I slammed it shut and slid to the ground with my back against it. "He would never stop torturing me." I sobbed, and my eyes burned terribly. "Shelly, I need you." I texted with a crying emoji."What's wrong?" She texted back immediately. Tears fogged my vision, and I blinked rapidly to push them down my cheeks. "Just come over, I need you." I replied, and after that, I crawled to one of the chairs in the sitting room and lay in a fetal position. My thoughts spiralled out of control when I tried to think of why Cole was acting so mean to me. I shook my head–I didn't just understand why things changed the night we had that dinner. Fingering the pie on my cheek, I stuck it in my mouth, enjoying the banana taste of it. "Fuck you, Cole," I sounded bitter. "Fuck your stupid job too. Maybe working there was a big mistake."I didn't know how long I had lamented, but I knew I could hear the doorbell which meant that Shelly was here."Girl, a

I gazed at Shelly, and even though I trusted her, the grin on her face made me doubt her a little."Are you worried?" She asked, and I nodded. I used to be the wicked one, but now it seemed like it was the other way around."What's the plan?" I asked in worried murmur, and I laughed out loud."It's not complicated, and in order for it to work, you have to be bold." I sighed, trying to catch my breath, but the pressure I was under didn't let me."Don't worry dear, it's not hard. It's something that would make him regret his actions for sure." She came closer to me and whispered the plans in my ear."Ohh, you're good." I burst out laughing because I imagined his face after the plan had been carried out."He's going to regret messing with you, girl." She laughed and began to go through her phone."What are you doing?" I inquired with a straight face. "Well, getting all the things you need for the plan ready. Micheal would pick it up for me." "Wow, Micheal?" I had totally forgotten abo

Cole's pov.If she hadn't called me sir, I would have never known that it was Vanessa speaking. She looked like a fucking bush and her makeup was poorly done, making her look scary."What are you wearing?" I asked, but instead, she took my hands, wanting me to usher her into the event."No, stop." I frowned but tried my best to maintain my cool because we were in the public. "Vanessa, what's the meaning of this?"I pinched the bridge of my nose in frustration. "What? You asked me to come to the party and I did." "Yes but did I ask you to be like a clown?" I towered over her before holding tightly to her hands."Come with me!" I began to walk to my car and made her follow behind me slowly."Sir, let me go!" She yelled when we were close to my car."Or what?! Tell me." I pinned on my car, my breath fanning her face."Why can't you just do anything right?" I opened the front seat of the car and carried her inside."Sit and don't move." I quickly ran to the driver's seat and after faste

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." I gulped, feeling nervous. I

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

Cole's pov.It has been days mother had been staying with us, but she was acting very mysterious. 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. It was unlike mother for her to lay In her room all-day, but I was going to try my best to make sure I found out what was going on no matter what it took.I was in my room, pondering about the whole situation when I decided to go see what was happening. 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?" I tried to a

Vanessa's POVIn order to just clear up my head, I went to the bar to get some shots. It's always gladdens me to drink them because It makes feel that I'm better off on my own, that I don't need any stupid boyfriend like Cole to take me for grantedThe bar wasn't the kind that had so much room or so much drinks because it just a local Bar but it my taste and that was all I needed. Another shot! I yelled to the bartender for another pint of beer. That was my tenth shot if I was really counting right because at this time I was getting a little lightheaded.But, thank Goodness my dear bestie Shelly was there to guide me home in case I pass out. She wasn't quite the kind of person I was but she could tolerate me and my bad habits at least and that's why I cling to her."Vanessa this is too much drink you are taking, you can't kill yourself over estimations you don't really have a base fact to prove, besides he's pleading for your apology-""Who says I wanna kill myself, huh?"

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?" I asked, and she was unable to say anything because it all came as a shock to her. She was surprised that I was denying ever having anything

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.

Sheldon's POVI could barely sleep that night, Lola caught me cheating on her. I couldn't believe I was a pawn in Vanessa's chess.How would I have fallen for that trap with Evelyn? 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!
