A Game Of Deceit with the Billionaire Twenty seven
Vanessa's pov.I was shocked by Cole's gesture this evening and I couldn't help but get angry. He was using me for a show and pretended to be who he wasn't in public."Mr Cole, is this your new girl?" Another young business man and I buried my head in shame because of the way they spoke about me."If she's not, can I have her, she's so pretty." I hated the fact that I couldn't slap those naughty thoughts off their faces."Well she's mine okay? And you can't have her." Cole's voice sounded angry and I gulped the lump that was in my throat.Fancy dinner parties aren't my thing plus, they were making me feel uncomfortable."Would you look at the time, I and my love have to get going, right love?" I shot him an angry glance before playing along."Yes. It was nice having dinner with you all and having to spend time talking about business." "Excuse us." Cole spoke before taking my hands in his and walking away like with me."What was that for?" I glared at him when we were out of the place

Morning came faster than expected. I winced when my alarm clock kept making a 'briiiiiing' sound as I tried to stop it with my eyes closed."Ugh!" I was finally able to hit the button at the top of the alarm clock to stop it from making any more noise."Hiss!" I hissed and groaned at the same time as I stretched on the bed. One day away from work and it felt like It should stay that way forever.It was just six in the morning but I had set the alarm that way so I could reach the office on time.I got up from the bed and quickly arranged it before dashing into the bathroom to get a proper bath.I didn't bathe last night, so I was able to clean my face and change into a much more comfortable cloth before falling into the bath.After bathing in the bathroom, I tied the towel around my chest and rushed to the mirror to gaze at myself with a smile. I liked what they did to my long hair because putting it in coils gave me a new look.I strolled to my wardrobe and began to gaze at the clothe

"Sir, I have to finish quickly, we need to leave the office on time to prepare for the party," I replied, already feeling frustrated."So does that mean you're eager to go to the party with me?" He finally stopped leaning on my shoulders, and I eased my muscles."Hey…" his voice trailed off when he saw one of my colleagues. "What are you doing here?" Cole's tone hardened, and the playful countenance he had disappeared."It's lunchtime, sir. Vanessa and I often have lunch together," He replied. One could tell he was scared, and I, too, was scared for him as well.Andrew was an employee at Trenton's Inc. He had been working there for two years, and he was one of the person's who helped me feel better after Cole's tantrum."Is this what is happening in this office?" Cole asked, and even when I didn't want to speak, I couldn't understand the point he was trying to make."Andrew and I are just friends." I got up from my seat."Where do you think you're going?" He clasped my wrist. "It's l

I rounded up my work from the office and headed back home. It was just five thirty, so I was hoping to catch a little rest before he arrived.After taking a little shower, I laid on the bed, and just as I was about to let the darkness take me away, the doorbell rang."Ugh." I groaned, rubbing my head angrily as I walked to the living room. I opened the door, and my frown turned into a puzzled look when I saw a delivery man."I didn't order anything, I'm sorry you have the wrong address." I was about to close the door before he voiced out. "Well, this is the address I was given. Is this where miss Vanessa lives?" My brows furrowed when I heard what he said."Um, yes but I…" "Sign here." He handed me a booklet that needed my signature and after signing, he gave me a square shaped box before leaving."I wonder what is in here?" I thought to myself as I closed the door and made way to my room.I was first going to ask Shelly before opening the box to see what it was.I picked up my pho

I broke the kiss and locked gazes with Cole, who was gazing into my eyes in the most passionate way. "We need to talk outside now." His mouth moved slowly before he turned. He hesitated, staring at a distance. I followed his gaze and beheld what he saw–Lola and Cole, intensely watching us. He turned to me, snaking an arm around my waist. It burned. It caused goosebumps to devour my arms, and I stomached the foreign feelings. "Come with me." He drew me to his side and walked me out of the hall.When we were finally from the eyes of people and in the hallway, he released my waist and turned me to face him. "Could you explain what happened there?" His eyes were soft. "I'm getting my revenge by making Sheldon and Lola jealous. You're welcome." I flashed him a smile of victory and pivoted on my heels, but my heart skipped a beat when he clasped my arm and spun me. "Revenge? Is this what this is all about?" He seethed, and for the first time tonight, his eyes burned with anger, and hi

Cole's pov.I got back home a little bit tipsy but I was still able to find my way back to my room. My little angel was asleep and I was glad because I boiled with anger inside of me just at the hearing of her name or even recalling her face."I hate you so much!" I rushed into my room and scattered the document on the counter.I was already falling for her but what she said destroyed every atom of feelings. She hurt me even more than Lola. How am I supposed to find peace? All women are the same.I was angry with everything that was going on."Vanessa I hate you!" I went to sit on my bed and yelled out in anger. She wasn't supposed to use me this way. I was glad she decided to leave my life for good.As much as it hurt me to say it, I had to say what I had on my mind. Everything came rushing back. Her betrayal and the betrayal of Lola. "I promised to move on but I can't, it seems you're the only one meant for me." I confessed and laid on my bed as I tried to remove my shoe.The only

Vanessa's pov."Common V, cheer up. I know it's hard but you have to calm down. You've been crying since I got here and this could affect your health," Shelly said in a worried tone. Shelly had arrived over an hour ago and since then, I bad been a sad mess. "I regretted everything. His dick, his touches, his kisses, everything." I expressed myself as I cried. I actually liked Cole but I saw red flags when I noticed his bad temper and how he made my life a living hell."Girl, some men are like that. You just have to move on, don't cry." She tried to urge me to eat the breakfast she had made, "Have the cereal okay, we can do any fun activity you want to get you out of this bad mood.""I don't feel like it. I do not want to go out." I crossed my hands over my chest and pouted, feeling like a little child. Just then, my phone began to ring and Shelly, who was closer to the counter, took the phone.One glance at the screen, she frowned, dropping it back on the counter."Who's that?" I a

His confessions struck me and my fast beating heart pounded even more in my chest. Shelly's words rang in my mind and I wondered if she was a fortune teller. It was just as she said it would happen."Vanessa…" his gentle words brought me back from my thoughts and I gazed at him with surprise."You can't be serious right, Cole, you're joking right?" I tried so hard to breathe but I was too scared to."No. You know how I always bully you and frustrate you, it's because you made me sad. I got drunk and was admitted to the hospital, it was because I couldn't get over you." His hands trailed my face and I swallowed the huge lump on my throat.This was not what I expected. I had not expected him to confess all this to me, I wasn't ready."With Andrew, it was the same. I hate seeing you with other guys because they aren't meant for you." I gasped at his words and my parted lips were brushed by his hands."I was glad when you kissed me, it felt heavenly. I wanted to just grab you and press y

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

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!
