An affair with the Billionaire 67. A hero in disguise
BRADEN "Damn I never believed any of this could actually work out..." Thomas told me, flopping his head backwards as he sat on the chair. He placed a hand on his face and massaged his temples whilst I took a sip of the alcoholic wine poured into my wine glass."I saw the buyout rate, the shares, the legal and financial backing...I could go and on. Man you are ready for this" I chuckled at him.Thomas raised his face up and a warm smile broke on his lips. "Thank you Braden. Thank you so very much. I just knew you would come through for me. Imagine both of us working together in this technologically advanced world. Damn we would make millions every day. With your proposed investment plans into this project, this bot would be a game changer in the field of technology as we know it!" Laughter left my lips, filling the air as Thomas joined me in laughing.Thomas really deserves it. Over the weeks, I saw him work hard to make sure this partnership was a success. He was really an

BRADEN"I beg your pardon..." Thomas shot almost immediately. "You fucking thief! So you came to try and snatch your own brother's wealth. Do you have no shame at all?!" Nicholas retorted back.He was defensive.I was as confused as I was exasperated listening to Nicholas rage like a mad bull. "Nicholas are you insane? Do not tell me you came all the way here to cause havoc in my home. What the hell is wrong with you!?" I growled.Nicholas let out a dry chuckle. "Braden I never believed you could ever be this gullible you know. Honestly. If someone had told me that Braden would fall for such a trick to ensnare him, I would have labelled the person a liar. And all for what? All for family ties. In this business of ours, you of all people should know that you have to keep family ties away!" "What the hell are you insinuating?"Thomas was livid with anger at this point."When Camilla told me about what you were about doing Braden, I knew she was being truthful but at the same time I fou

BRADEN"There are still more surprising clauses so calm down" Nicholas smiled as he took the contracts from me."You probably didn't read through it again because you felt you had read the contract before. I do not know any thing about this contract but I am targeting the places whereby I know are the most important""Article 13 of the contract. Wow this is seems amazing. What do we have here" Nicholas chuckled after a brief moment silence as his eyes took in every detail."Read the fucking thing out!" I growled, my anger getting the best of me. "Article 13 with the heading 'General'. Section 13.4 says that by signing this contract Party A, which is you Braden, agree to the fact that in the course of this partnership, this contract can be modified at any time by Party B with or without your prior consent and your rights might or might not remain the same whenever party B seems it fit to do so and you are mandated to sign whatever changes are made..."I listened to Nicholas go on with

BRADENI was pulsating to the fear that gripped my heart firmly. Clenching onto the steering I continued to maneuver it like I had a second life. If only I could disappear, I am sure I would have appeared there in that hospital by now.My body and soul were completely disconnected, I swerved the car to overtake other cars that drove too slow, I was in such a hurry and I knew how urgent the issue was so that was why I cared less about my driving recklessly.Memories of Camilla yelling and wailing from the torments I inflicted on her brewed up inside me causing this sting of guilt to curb me whole. I tortured her last night for a help she was trying to render, she was goddamn innocent and I spat hateful words on her face and used them to her displeasure all because I believed that bastard I call a cousin."Fuck off the way!" I yelled and overtook the oblivious driver in front of me. He was literally pinging on his phone, I didn't even have enough space in my heart to get irritated at hi

BRADEN "Get me the peace maker and chest compressions fast!" I heard the doctor command in a haste. They were all relentless in doing their best to save Camilla."She has lost enough blood already and her heart is not pumping efficiently" he added. At some point, I felt the air being sucked away from my lungs. My limbs grew weak as I perched outside the doors to Camilla's ward. Holding onto the handle for support, I almost forgot to breathe whilst I stared at was what going on. It felt like I was claustrophobic. Nothing seemed to make sense any more. I cried more, my heart piercing into multiple pieces. I brought this upon Camilla. "Hello Braden?""Hello are you there man? fucking talk!" Nicholas was restless over the phone as he lashed at me but I could not say a word.Nothing was making sense to me any more."Braden..fuck" Nicholas hanged up in sheer annoyance.Fuck. I should have listeners to her! But I fully trusted Thomas so blindly and now Camilla is paying dearly for my m

Low groans escaped Camilla's lips as her consciousness began unfolding. Slowly her eyes peeled open only to be welcomed by the blinding lights hung on the ward's ceiling.Her indistinct hearing popped open at once, her ears welcomed by the beeping sound of the oxygen machine by her side. It seemed distant at first to her ear drums and seemed to come from a faraway place but soon enough the distant beeping became audible.Sensitive rays emitting from the light were too bright for her eyes to accommodate so she closed them and threw them open again.Her blurry vision readjusted with every second that went by before she could see clearly. Camilla's eyes flickered, carefully scrutinizing the environment.Between Camilla's eyes at the very bridge of her nose was an oxygen mask, placed above her mouth. she found herself inhaling and exhaling with the aid of the machine.Nevertheless her breathing was excruciatingly painful, it felt like a hundreds of needles piercing into her heart. Her che

CAMILLA Fear, pain, regret, anxiety; these feelings were the ambience that settled into I and Braden's relationship through out these past few couple of days. I found it hard to believe that two weeks had actaully flown by since I got ran over by a car. The accident really hit me like lightening bolt. I never actually imagined I would ever find myself in an accident. I still do not know how I got hit by a car. It seemed so bizarre. From just sauntering on the pave street walks and then the next thing that hit me was an excruciating pain that numbed my entire body followed by a sudden weakness which drew me captive into its dark abyss. And then the next thing that fell upon my blurry orbs when I woke up was this searing white blinding lights of this hospital ward that had more or less become my second home. Damn.I honestly thought I would die the moment the car hit me and when I saw myself being covered in the pool of my own blood. The pain was skull crushing, numbing me and c

NICHOLAS"So Camilla tell me, how has Braden been treating you?" I nudged at her shoulder as we both sat on the bed. I had come here some minutes earlier to check on Camilla. It had become part of my daily routine. I met Camilla all by herself in the ward with the exception of some nurses about two or three who checked the intravenous injections that had been inserted in her hands. She told me Braden left some minutes prior to my arrival and believe me, I was honestly grateful for that. I needed some alone time with Camilla and that would not be possible if Braden was around. I have been noticing his attitude towards I and Camilla and I have a feeling he just does not want me to get close to Camilla. He tortures the poor girl, he would not let her leave and yet he would not let her get close to anyone.Like he controls her life.It is as if he is hiding something from me, some sort of relationship he shares with Camilla.I really hope it is not what I am thinking. I just love t

An affair with the Billionaire 121. Epilogue
CAMILLASIX MONTHS LATER The church bells rang loudly, creating such a peaceful ambience the moment we drove in. It has been six months since the entire saga we had with Ophelia. It was really not easy for I and Braden to try and overlook everything that had happened between us but thankfully we managed to do so.And our relationship blossomed more than ever. I loved this man so much. Looking back at everything that had happened between us, there was no doubt that I and Braden were fated lovers. We were a match made in heaven. I feel like a teenager in love once again. I feel so nostalgic seeing how everything is turning out; how in love we are is just like when we were back in college. Tears welled up in my eyes but I blinked them away. "Camilla it is way too early to start crying" Mr Harold, the elderly doctor who helped in treating my bother when he needed his surgery for his heart said to me with a hearty smile. I faced him and let out a chuckle. Today was my wedding day
An affair with the Billionaire 120. Peace at last
Two weeks Later Camilla speedily picked out all her outfits from her closet and stacked them without even sparing a second to breathe.She was completely fed up and tired of the tribulations and mayhem that caused her heart to break all the time.This wasn't the first, second, third, or even fourth time that she had to face something detrimental to her mental health or emotions.Braden and everyone related to him brought nothing but pain to her. She was finally free from the mansion but a bigger part of her was broken.The sweet memories she had with Braden, in and out of the mansion lurked around her heart.Being free from the mansion wasn't just a reason to celebrate but a reason to mourn because she was now going to be far from the man she loved."I'm just a third wheel in Braden's love life, I was just there to hold him tight because his wife was no longer there and now that she's back he has gone back to her. My time here is over so I need to walk out of his life for the secon
An affair with the Billionaire 119. You will rot in jail!
Nicholas burst open the doors and sprinted into the mansion. His gaze immediately fell upon Braden seated on the dinning table and he was endlessly sculling down countless bottles of liquor. They were arrayed before him like numerous trophy prizes. He did not even mind the fact that Nicholas was in his house but instead his entire attention was focused on the alcohol that he kept on drowning himself in. The sight was pitiful. What had come over Braden too?Ever since Camilla left, he had turned into an alcoholic.Camilla on the other hand had become so malnourished and bony. Coming closer to Braden, the strong scent of alcohol hit him at all corners.It was nauseating even for him.Was this the real effect of their conspiracies on both Braden's and Camilla's life? They were miserable without each other and they were both killing themselves with each passing day. Oh God. Nicholas felt like crying on seeing how miserable his friend had become but he held himself together."Braden
An affair with the Billionaire 118. Divulging the entire truth
Her heart was punctured, torn to pieces and damaged so severely.There comes a stage in life when tears can not even express the severity of grief, pain and heartache you are feeling. That moment in one's life when the ability to cry and shed tears has been taken away from you totally. You want to cry to your heart's content but no. You just can not cry again no matter how hard you try to.Because your body, mind and soul is weak. Your eyes are reddenned, covered with dark spots and swollen. It has no more tears left to give.The pain is too much to bear that even your body can no longer express the type of grief you are experiencing. It is a terrible feeling. And what is more even terrible is when this immense pain is caused by 'heartbreak'. Heartbreak is like a mini death, your heart shuts down your ability to function propely and engage in your daily activities.Even eating may seem so strenuous to you. Depression subdues your thought and you just can not quickly move on no m
An affair with the Billionaire 117. Finally free
CAMILLAMy heart heaved like the weight of a dumbbell as the excruciating pain brewed up in my chest continuously.My heart shattering into a million pieces was an understatement of what I was feeling. I felt like drowning myself to death.I felt my existence disappearing into thin air.I thought we were developing a strong love for each other again but it turns out that I was just been used because I was easy to sway.I feel so foolish for letting myself into his life again, he used me and went back to his wife after promising to never go back to her.What was I expecting? For Braden to leave the woman who he took an oath with on the altar and choose his mere maid? Now it sounds ridiculous.Ophelia did warn me, she said she made it clear to me that Braden is hers no matter what I did and this proves it all. I can not believe I confidently retorted back at her and told her that her plans would never work.Now I see the marital bbond between Braden and Ophelia, it is unbreakable no mat
An affair with the Billionaire 116. Betrayal
CAMILLA I arrived back from Olga's place a little earlier than I planned to. I wanted to surprise Braden because earlier yesterday before leaving, I had told him I would be back late in the evening. I told him that to see his reaction and if he would still let me leave but to my utmost shock, he still gave me open doors to leave and go enjoy being with my family. I came back earlier this morning and steathily tiptoed up the stairs with giggles trying to escape my lips. I pressed back my sudden eagerness to see Braden which was coated all over my face when I had begun approaching Braden's room and the faraway sound of two people talking hit my ear walls. As I approached further, the sound grew louder till I had gotten to Braden's door.I could fully recognise the voices now. It was Braden and Ophelia. From the outside, one could tell that the conversation was heated and intense with the intonation of their voices. My curiousity was piqued and a sudden restlessness overwhelmed
An affair with the Billionaire 115. A shocking discovery
The soft rays emitting from the sun through the transparent linen curtain hit Braden's face, toning his skin in the process. He pinched his eyes tight shut before turning his head away from the sun's glistening rays but it was off no use any more.His sleep had been interrupted and he could not sleep back.Slowly, his eyes fluttered open and a yawn escaped his peach lips. Stirring up from his deep slumber, Braden flew his eyes open in an instant only to be hit by a severe banging pain that seemed to almost shatter his skull. Letting out a hiss in pain, he trailed a finger to his temples, massaging everywhere in hopes of calming down the skull shattering ache that throbbed all over his head. It seemed to be as painful as a migraine but it was not. It was affecting all sides of his head. His vision was very much blurry and hazy causing him to close his eyes tight shut in a bid to try and readjust his sight. Opening his eyes once more again, Braden could now see but not ful
An affair with the Billionaire 114. Seduction
The heart they say is deadly, the desires of the heart exerts a powerful influence in the actions of an individual. It could either be good or bad. But in dire cases, when the heart can not get what it wants, the person then goes to extreme measures to get their hearts desire be it a good or bad one. Love they say is another weapon that could be used for either good or bad. Healthy love is like medicine to the body.It heals you even without you realising.That type of love is the love that makes you understand that you actually can not control how people feel about you.You might love someone with your whole heart but if the person is not interested in being with you, you can not hold the person accountable for it.Healthy love makes one understand that in life, some people may never reciprocate how we feel about them no matter how genuine and true it is.So instead of sulking and killing your mental stability with depression, you do yourself a big favour by just letting go of the
An affair with the Billionaire 113. A visit to my family
CAMILLA With a rush of excitement building in me, I knocked on Olga's front door as I patiently waited for a response.In a split second, the door opened up to reveal the elderly but beautiful face of Olga in a blue long dress standing with a surprised look plastered on her face."Camilla?!" Olga articulated gleefully. With a beaming smile, she rushed to give me a very tight hug. "Olga," I responded calmly as I gave into the warm embrace. I was so happy to see Olga after all these months of staying in Braden's house.She was also very happy to see me, that bright smile and high-pitched voice of hers were enough to know."Jason!! your sister is here!" Olga turned and yelled into the quiet house.Loud footsteps of someone running met my ears immediately, Jason jumped out of nowhere and exclaimed happilythe minute he noticed me and I squealed for joy as well."Camilla!" he cheerfully called out."Jason" Euphoria pulsated through my veins as my eyes landed on his healthy orbs.I felt so
