Mr Billionaire! Let’s do Revenge! Chapter 40
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

Maybelline.“May!, go get us some drinks, would you?” Sasha, My sister-in-law’s voice broke through the soft music playing throughout the wedding hall, sharp and commanding. Her words weren’t a request, they never were. I felt myself twitch at the suddenness of her voice but I nodded quickly, got up to my feet, and turned toward the bar. As I walked away, I heard snickers, and whispers behind my back from her and her friends.“Why is she even here?” One of her friend asked, her tone dripping with disdain. It’s the same question I’ve asked myself a hundred times tonight. Why am I here? They already told me previously that the wedding would be for intimate family and friends, and I wasn’t an intimate family even though I was married to their brother. It was the wedding of my brother older sister -Nelly. She was quite older than my husband and I with about five years so I didn’t really know her, she was based overseas, she came back few months ago because of the wedding.I ignored th

Maybelline.The slap sent a sharp sting across my cheek, leaving me momentarily stunned. My hand flew up to the burning spot as I stared at Nelly in disbelief, her eyes wild with rage, tears smearing her mascara. The entire hall had gone silent, with every pair of eyes staring at me with something more than a look of disguise, the kind of glare you’d give someone who would wants to snatch her husband elder sister’s husband. "How dare you?!" Nelly screamed, her voice breaking at her last word. "How dare you try to ruin my marriage?!""I—I don't even know him!" I stammered, my voice trembling with shock and fear. Sasha walked up to us immediately and shoved her sister aside carefully, “Let me deal with her,” she mumbled to her sister “Liar!" she spat turning to me as she raised her hands and slapped me hard across my face, my purse and shoes fell out of my hands immediately as I staggered backwards wincing in excruciating pain."I had always told my brother you were nothing but a sl

Maybelline.My heart slammed against my ribcage as I jolted upright, the initial heaviness I felt disappearing into thin air. A cold wave of realization washed over me and every single thing that happened to me yesterday began rushing back in.There he was, sitting calmly in a chair near the window, his gaze piercingly fixed on me. The man who did the job of shattering my almost ruined life. The man I had prayed I dreamt of and will never see again. I instinctively wrapped my arms around my abdomen, the memory of the sharp pain from last night made my heart lurch. “My baby,” I whispered, my voice coming out hoarse and stricken with panic. “Is my baby okay?” I stuttered, his expression didn’t change as he stood up, slowly walking toward me.“Your baby is fine,” he said, his voice calm and calculated, relief washed over me, my baby was fine and that’s all that mattered.“It was a miscarriage scare and you shouldn’t be stressing. You were lucky I was there.” I looked up at him with

Two hours later..“This is the room you’d be staying in,” Nelly’s husband or should I say ex fiance whose name I found out to be Grayson said to me. I slowly looked up at him, rolled my eyes to the back of my head and looked away.“Thank you,” I mumbled barely audibly as I dragged my box and pushed it inside the room, I dropped my bag in a corner in the room and slowly turned to the entrance, he was still standing there.“Want to say something to me?!” I asked, he slowly tucked his hands into his pocket and stared deep down into my eyes.“Let’s not pretend like you don’t know why you’re here, Revenge?! Are you game?!” He asked, I slowly turned fully, holding the handle of my box with both of my hands, “If I say no, will you still let me stay here?” I responded, he chuckled, raising the corner of his lips in a dry grin.“You should think about it well,” he replied and with that he turned around and walked away, shutting the door with a soft thud. I exhaled deeply as I slowly let go

Maybelline. 8:45am … I groaned in my sleep as I slowly turned in my bed, I folded my legs in a fetal position and softly stretched out, my joints released addicting popping sounds as I stretched out. My body felt sore and it ached. My eyes slowly fluttered open and I stared at the ceiling with pursed lips and I sighed deeply. I felt really reluctant to go to work, not with the pain in my body or the trauma I’m currently going through. You’d be going through life issues and your employer would still expect you to show up at work like everything is good when clearly everything has gone bad!. But what can I do? I don’t plan to stay in Grayson’s house for too long. The Tanners already blocked the credit card I had in their name, if I wanted to earn a decent living I needed to work. I slowly picked up my phone, immediately my eyes came in contact with the time written in hold on the phone screen I shot up from the bed with a start. Five minutes to nine?! How I didn’t not realize th

Grayson.“Don’t worry about what happened last week, I’ve taken care of it, it didn’t make its way to the media!” I said to her, she nodded in reply, I slowly let go of her hands and stepped away. I watched her turn around and walk away, I stood staring at her retreating figure until she was no longer in sight.My phone beeped with a message, I gently reached for for inner pocket and took it out, it was a message from Elena, -Miss May did not have anything to eat before leaving- the text read, I slowly looked up from my phone and glanced back up at the route she had just taken.“What do I do with this girl,” I murmured as I gently tucked my phone in my pocket, “What are you doing standing here alone?!” I heard a very familiar voice say behind me, I turned to see Cole and Becky behind me.All three of us are close friends from the university and to the outside world apparently. Cole and I co-own Nash and Ko. Ko from his name Cole but replacing the letter C with K just because. Cole a

Maybelline.I exhaled as we all walked back into our office, I pulled out my chair in my own cubicle and dropped heavily on it, my leg ached badly, I reached downwards and took off my heels. I didn’t even have the chance to sit for a while or eat immediately I stepped into the office. My stomach mumbled in hunger but considering the pain in my leg and how tired I was to actually stand up and go all the way to a nearby restaurant to get food? I’d rather sit in my chair and rest.“Delivery for Miss Maybelline Russet,” A loud voice called out at the entrance, everybody turned to look at the entrance, a dispatch rider was standing there, “Aren’t you Maybelline Tanner?!” Betsy, my colleague sitting next to me said, I spluttered in an attempt to speak, I gently pushed my chair backwards and got up to my feet.“Russet is my maiden name,” I muttered shyly as I walked up to him and took the order from him. I muttered thank you to him and carefully walked back to my seat. Took my seat and pull

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
