Mr Billionaire! Let’s do Revenge! Chapter 23
Meanwhile,GRAYSON“What’s up with the viewership ratings,” I asked Katrina, she was seated in the table right across the table from me, with Cole beside her and Becky on a sofa a few meters away from us. “The ratings are back on track. Revenue has doubled too since the Maybelline’s pictures and videos dropped.” Becky began “Apparently, people like her and they’re really anticipating the show. Hopefully the show does it for the viewers,” “This should be a hit,” Cole added, finally looking up from his Tablet and I nodded thoughtfully. I slowly turned to look at Katrina, but she was staring at me with narrowed brows.“Yeah, so that’s it. Hopefully the web series is a huge hit too,” Becky added.“By the way, the media team should also start working on publicity for the new web series. My team is rounding up the contract agreement with the actors already,” Cole said.“Katrina will do that,” I replied and he nodded slowly. After that, he and Becky got up to their feet and they walked ou

Next day. Maybelline.“May,” I heard my name, I turned towards the door, my eyes narrowed slightly once I saw it was Becky.“Ma,” I whispered as I pushed my chair backwards and got up to my feet immediately. “See me in my office ASAP,” she said and I nodded firmly.“What’s up?!” Betsy whispered and I shrugged in reply. I turned immediately, headed for the door and followed after her.***“Please have your seat,” She said to me as soon as I got into her office. I nodded with a small bow as I made my way to sit in front of her. It was my first time in her office and I couldn’t help but notice all of the picture frames on the wall and framed certificates. Most people would like to put this up in their houses, but it was quite cute that she put up all her achievements in her workspace. I saw a group picture of all four of them, Grayson, Cole, Becky and Katrina. It was probably taken on Cole and Becky's wedding. 7th November 2021, I was probably just in my final year in the university.

Maybelline. Late at Night. 12:00am I tapped my fingers against the couch, glancing at the clock again. 12:14 a.m. This was officially the latest he’d ever been out since we began living together. After three days of silent treatment, I hadn’t expected to care this much about him not being home. But as the hours crept by, worry crept in too, making it impossible to sleep.Finally, I heard footsteps stumbling up the stairs, and relief washed over me as I sprang to my feet. The door creaked open, and there he was, barely standing, with a lazy, lopsided grin on his face. I tried to keep my expression steady.“Oh, May,” he slurred, dragging my name out like it was the most precious word he’d ever spoken. “Maybelline… I knew you’d still be awake for me.” My arms crossed automatically. “Where the hell have you been?!” I snapped, irritation evident in my voice. He could barely hold his liquor , yet he went ahead and drank himself to stupor.“You look beautiful, even when you’re angry.” He

Maybelline.At the office. 11:30am.“What’s up with your housemate?!” Betsy suddenly asked.“Hmm,” I muttered sharply. She immediately paused and turned her chair towards me. Her brows narrowed at me,“What’s up with your housemate,” she repeated. I cleared my throat awkwardly and met her gaze.“We had a conversation yesterday,”“And?!”“We’re cool,” I added almost immediately. Her eyes squinted on me and she leaned even closer.“Are you sure? This look in your eyes is more than just cool. Anything happened after that?!” She asked.“Of Course not! We just talked. He apologized and we’re cool,” i replied sharply.“Girl, you …”“Ohh shoot shoot! I have a meeting with the management now,” I said, cutting her off as I pushed my chair backwards and got up.“Catch you later,” I added as I picked up my phone and rushed out immediately. ***“Dale. I asked you to come up with a list of popular couples, for At Least six weeks upfront and reach out to them, did you do that?!” Katrina asked as w

Maybelline.9:30am.“Here, have something to drink,” Grayson said as he placed a glass of orange juice on the dining table. I looked up from my laptop and stretched out, earning soft pop sounds from my joints. Grayson had been up and about since I got home. He insisted that he wanted to make an apology dinner for me and I let him. I watched him in amusement as he cooked using every single recipe he could find. By the time he was done, he was sweating profusely. He tried though At Least the food was edible and I didn’t throw up.He brought down his laptop also, took his seat beside me and we both worked quietly.“How are you feeling?! It’s your first big gig after all,” he said, I slowly turned to him and muffled an awkward laugh.“I don’t usually get nervous a lot, but I’m nervous. Everyone is trusting so much in me, I hope the show gets a lot of visibility and I don’t disappoint them,” I muttered, he nodded thoughtfully at my words.“I know you’ll put your heart into it,” he replied.

Maybelline. Later that night. 7:30pm “Our Numbers are going up!” “This is good!” “Our subscribers instantly hit one million after the show. “ I heard Katrina say to Grayson over the phone. All four of them were on a video conference call. I was in the kitchen trying to wash our plates after dinner. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop but I could hear their conversations. My heart felt full as they all talked about it, even my own personal social media accounts have been blowing up since then. My followers instantly hit two hundred thousand, and I’ve been getting a whole lot of encouraging comments. This is a really huge platform for me. My phone beeped in my pocket signaling the arrival of a new message, I dipped my hands inside the pocket of my apron and took out my phone. It was a message from Tyler.“I’ve always known you’re TV gold, May. We watched your show today and it was awesome. Congrats on this milestone. Let’s celebrate soon,” The message read, I dipped the phone back into my

Maybelline.Next Day. Saturday. I walked down the stairs to see Grayson by the coffee maker, he had his hand in his pocket and a cup in his other hand and against his lips. I swallowed hard as I watched his Adam Apple move to and fro as he gulped down the liquid. He suddenly lowered the cup from his lips and turned to me. Immediately our eyes jammed, I choked on my own spit and released an awkward cough. “Good morning,” he greeted as he dropped his cup on the counter and walked up to me. I blinked rapidly and nodded slowly in reply with a small bow.“Morning,” I replied. He dipped his hands inside his pocket, took out something and stretched it out to me. My gaze dropped down to his hands and looked back up at him. “Wh-what is this?!” I asked in a small stutter. “You’re blown now, you won’t find it funny if you still decide to take the bus after this,” he said to me, I waved my hands frantically at him and shook my head a little bit too hard, negatively. “No— no, I can’t possibl

Maybelline. 7:30pm. I pushed the door to the house open and walked into the house. I could hear voices but I couldn’t quite decipher who Grayson was talking to. I held up my bag against my shoulder as I made my way to the living room. “It shouldn’t have been an issue,” “At Least I didn’t cheat with another man” I heard, my head spun immediately I heard her words clearly. Anger immediately pumping through my veins. I marched towards her and immediately I got to her, I grabbed a handful of her hair and pulled her to face me. “So, cheating on your fiancée with another woman is normal?!” I growled and tugged at her hair more violently. She yelped in pain but it only made me tug at her hair more. “You should be ashamed of yourself!” I yelled. “Let go of me you crazy lady!” She yelped in agony. “No you are the crazy one for being attracted to your own gender and for going as far as doing what you did a night before your wedding!” I growled in reply, my veins popping out of my nec

Maybelline I felt the lightest, feathery kiss on my forehead, and a slow warmth spread through me as I stirred awake. My eyes fluttered open to find myself wrapped in Grayson’s arms, his embrace tender and protective, and I couldn’t help but smile at the comfort of being held by him all night. I only came in to kiss him goodnight yesterday’s night, after that he insisted that he wanted me to sleep by his side. I wanted it too, so he didn’t have to persuade me for too long. Here we are."Good morning, my sunshine," he murmured, his voice deep and husky from sleep. His eyes sparkled as he looked down at me, and I reached up, my fingers tracing slow, loving patterns along his jaw, feeling the warmth of his skin beneath my touch."I could get used to waking up like this," I whispered, and he chuckled softly, his hand moving to cradle the back of my head as he threaded his fingers through my hair with care.“Then move in with me,” he said, his voice a quiet, earnest plea that sent butter

Grayson. “Since when?!”“Why didn’t you tell us!” Becky exclaimed immediately. I told her that Maybelline and I are dating already. We were on video call, my phone was on a table top tripod with my laptop beside it.“Well, I was going to. But there was never a perfect time,” I said to her, her lips stretched into a smile. “Finally. I’m happy for you ” she giggled and I nodded slowly. “I’m happy too,” suddenly the screen splitted into two and Katrina’s Video appeared. “What are the both of you discussing,” Katrina said as she raised a piece of pancake and bit into it. “We’re discussing how to sell you off. Since you no longer know how to keep quiet,” I replied immediately, the corner of her lips raised in a small sneer as she bit into her pancake again and chewed slowly. “Guys, I have exciting news for you!”“What is it?! You met someone new?!” I replied not matching her energy, I definitely knew that was what she was on to, her eyes slowly rolled to me and she glared at me.“I

Maybelline. After Work. “When you said something nice, I didn’t think that it’d be this — Nice” Grayson said after he pulled out my chair and rounded the table to sit. He carefully sat like the chair would break under his full weight. I chuckled lightly at this.“I know this is not what you’re used to, but their food is good and not expensive” I said to him and he nodded slowly in reply. “If you say so,” he replied, shortly after, the owner of the shop walked up to us. Her eyes lit up immediately when she saw me.“Belline,” she called, my lips stretched into a wide smile as I got up to my feet and pulled her into a small hug.“It’s been ages. I hope you’re good!” She said as we disengaged and I nodded in reply, my lips still stretched into a wide smile. She slowly turned to look at Grayson and then backed up at me.“You came with someone today, who is he?!” She asked.“He’s the Pre …” My gaze slowly flickered to Grayson, he sighed slowly and gently looked away from me.“He’s my boy

Maybelline.Next day. Wednesday 8:00am“Good Morning Cupcake,” I heard Grayson say behind me. I turned to see him place his bag on the mini dinning table in the kitchen and walked up to me. I flashed a smile at him and he stepped forward and placed a long lingering kiss on my lips. “Did you sleep well?!,” he asked and I nodded slowly, my smile not leaving my face. I turned back to the coffee machine, grabbed a cup and handed it over to him. “Here,” I whispered, he took it from my hands, leaned in and placed a soft kiss on my forehead.“Thank you sweetness,” he said. I blushed at his words as I lifted the cup of coffee up to my lips and took a sip. I was somebody’s girlfriend now and I had no idea how to behave. Fred didn’t really date me, we were just really close friends and then he asked me to marry him. He married me at twenty one and practically ruined my life, like I was some old hag. Well I’m thankful for how my life turned out, if I hadn’t married him, maybe I wouldn’t have m

Maybelline.Later in the evening.“I hope you enjoyed your date with your personal assistant,” I snorted as Grayson walked into the living room. He paused in his tracks and slowly turned to me. I crossed my legs and folded my hands across my chest leaning into the chair. “What are you talking about?!” He asked as he slowly turned to face me. I didn’t respond, I simply got up to my feet, picked up my laptop and headed upstairs. He reached forward immediately and grabbed my hands, he pulled me back and made me face him. “If someone should be angry between you and me May, it should be me,” he whispered, I begrudgingly folded my hands across my chest, my face held in a tight scowl.“Well, I’m not the one going on dates with my assistant!”“Date?! Katrina?! Where did you get that from?!” “Almost everyone at work knows you and Katrina do not just have a work relationship,”“And I saw the both of you getting into your car hand in hand,” “Coming right after you said you have feelings for

Maybelline.Meanwhile,I turned off the faucet as soon as I was done washing my hands. I placed my hands under the hand dryer to dry. Just as I was about to leave the door open, I looked up at it to see Loretta walk into the bathroom. Her looks smug as ever, she took slow confident steps into the bathroom. “I should have known. The company chose you so early on the job to be his Anchor. That was suspicious,”“I’m not surprised though. Girls like you seduce their way into fame,” she said, I placed my thumb and my other fingers on my forehead and rubbed it slowly with an exhausted sigh. The last thing I wanted right now is to argue with Loretta.“Look, Loretta if you have nothing to do. I have a lot going on right now. I can’t deal with your tantrums,” I said to her calmly. I could tell that she was very triggered that she has never gotten a reaction out of me, even with all of her nasty behavior. And I honestly wasn’t going to give her the satisfaction of me going crazy over her child

Grayson.Later that day.“So you got rejected, that's it?!” Katrina asked, I raised a brow at her as I finally let go of my laptop and looked up at her. “What do you mean got rejected?!”“I gave her time to think about it,”“Sounds like pretty much the same thing to me,” she insisted.“Well that’s the only explanation for this though. Have you seen Instagram?! It’s buzzing with both of them. I think they’re cute though, if you ask me,” she said. My gaze on her hardened at her words and she slowly raised her hands with a small shrug.“What?!”“I’m just saying,” she muttered. I rolled my eyes and leaned into my chair.“I don’t need you to say. Your say is not helping matters!” I added, she nodded slowly as she raised her hands to her lips, she crossed her finger over it, like she was dragging an imaginary zip over her lips.“Better,” I muttered under my breath. I abruptly got up from my seat and walked up to the sofa, I took my seat on it and leaned closer to her, “I told her that I w

Maybelline. I rushed out of my room immediately, I didn’t care that I was in my bathrobe and I didn’t care to knock either. I just pushed the door to his room open and rushed in.“Grayson, I swear this is not what it seems like?!” I breathed out, my chest rising and falling heavily in my chest. He was seated by his study table, his back facing me. He slowly swirled his chair around to face me, he had a reluctant look on his face and he raised his shoulders in a small shrug. “You don’t have to explain anything to me,” he simply said, he turned his chair back to face his table, he exhaled deeply and slowly got up to his feet. “Look, Grayson I promise you, there’s nothing going on between Tyler and I” “Yeah? And you never mentioned him to me ever.” My brows narrowed and I took a step backwards.“I didn’t think it was necessary. I had no idea online folks would escalate it like this. We’re just friends,”“Just friends? Since when?”“Since after you became his interviewer?! Have you se

Maybelline. Later. “Why didn’t you tell anybody about it dear,” I whispered to Harriet, she was sitting on her bed, and I sat by her bed patting her hands gently. I drove Harriet home in my own car, Tyler insisted on going to the hospital to get drugs for her. Even after she said she didn’t need it. I didn’t push further, I knew it wasn’t about the drugs.“I didn’t want Mr T to worry about me,” she murmured in reply.“Well that didn’t turn out well, did it?! Because now he’s super worried, super annoyed and super sad,” I said to her. She sniffled as she raised her duvet up to her chest and tucked the sides under her armpit. “I’m sorry,” she whispered.“No dear. You didn’t do anything wrong”“But when your daddy comes back, he might say words that do not really sit well with you, please understand that he’s just a parent, hurting deeply.” I said to her and she nodded slowly, I flashed her a small smile and slightly got up from my seat to hug her.“I’ll wait for your dad to come back
