The Arrogant Billionaire's Redemption Simple and short
Simon’s POV I slide into the passenger’s seat as Tina takes the wheel, bringing the car out of the parking lot.Sliding my phone out of my pocket, I unlock my phone sliding to a debit alert from the bank,‘Not that it was a ridiculous amount leaving my account, but the recipient was one that bothered me, or rather who the recipient reminded me of.The debit alert was of the monthly payments going to the private detective I hired to find Sarah,‘Staring at the message, I realized that for the first time in a while, I could admit without feeling guilty that I didn’t even want to find her’I could admit it, without my heart feeling like it was going to tear out of my chest, without that fevered feeling that took me whenever I thought about Sarah.I could finally admit that Sarah was nothing but an annoyance without it breaking me apart.I could see my stupidity, see the rightness in my mother’s words when I thought about the years of our unfortunate relationship.It was hard, admitting

Simon’s POVThe next morning comes with the realization that I’ve developed another addiction, as I stare out the window of my hotel room at the restaurant across the street,It had been hard to keep my eyes away from it, since the time I discovered that Tina visited frequently,Despite knowing that she could not be there, seeing as it was early morning and she would be making her way to work by now, still I couldn’t take my eyes off, hope turning me stupid.With a shake of my head I remind myself that I would be seeing her at work and I should probably get moving before I get late. On my way out, my phone rings in my hand as I try to place it in my pocket,From the caller ID, I see it’s the detective and I pick it up at the second ring,‘What is it, any news on the background check’, impatience rings in my voice as I speak to him.‘Not that Mr. Valero, I know you told me to stop looking for her, but she just popped up on my radar’, I take in a deep breath, frustration filling me up,

Another tired sigh rack through me and I run my hands through my hair, turning back to my office, walking in and heading to my desk,‘I hope Tina got home okay’, ‘Don’t walk away from me’, as I passed by Sarah on the way to my desk, she spits, glaring at me.Scoffing, I continue my journey, plopping down onto the chair, leaning back and looking at her in impatience.When she doesn’t speak, impatience gets the better of me, ‘What do you want Sarah’She jumps up immediately at my words, stomping over to my table, ‘You’re finally talking to me, right, you’re finally looking at me’, she bites out, staring at me through narrowed eyes,‘When I got in here, you didn’t even look at me, you couldn’t show how much you missed me, you didn’t even try’, she voice rises as she talks and still I look at her with that slight purse of lips,‘I missed you so much I couldn’t even breathe and yet you can’t even show me you love me’,‘Instead you only have eyes for her, you behaved like I didn’t exist

Simon’s POVComing down from memory lane, I cringed so hard at the recollection of my words professing love, goose bumps erupting along my skin at the fact that my mother was right.My eyes skim along the contents of the email again, as I watched the same unfixed stare graces her face, the same fear fill her eyes,‘It was a mistake and I did it to get to you, so I could come back to you because I loved you’, her fingers shake and clatter against each other as she speaks.It looked so believable, if I had not being in this position before I would have believed her, if I was not currently staring at her evidence I would have fallen for the same trick.Instead I scoff, ‘You should stop with the fearful eyes you know, this isn’t my first rodeo’, a smirk lines her lips when she drops the act, her eyes back to one lined with fury,‘Good, now that we’re both being honest with each other, let me enlighten you on what actually happened seeing as your memory seems to fail you’. ‘You clung unt

April 2017It was my wedding day! it was! But where was my husband? I had been at the altar for hours and my husband was nowhere to be found. Mrs. Alicia my mother-in-law had excused herself outside to call him times and times again but he did not show up. Despite all this, the smile on my face could have been compared to the light coming in through the glass windows, I had dolled myself up for this wedding and despite the fact that my legs were killing me due to the 6-inch heels I was wearing, I refused to let anything spoil my wedding. I looked to where my parents were seated, they smiled without a care in the world, it was expected since they were getting rid of a nuisance. They had made this fact clear to me since I was young and when the first opportunity presented itself, they thrust me into the arms of Alicia Valero. It wasn’t a bad deal to me, Alicia was lovely. She loved me even more than my parents but it was her son that was her problem. I had wanted to back out after our f

October 2017 Tina’s pov I heard the angry footsteps of my mother-in law as she marched up to my husband’s study, the door slammed shut a moment later. Although I couldn’t hear them, she was probably yelling at him for the way he treated me, I had tried to keep it from her but that’s kind of hard to do when your business is all over the news. I looked at my phone at the article that was released about me and Simon Valero. ‘Trouble in Paradise’ the article had my crying picture as the cover. The picture did nothing to accentuate my looks, the head warmer I had shoved my hair into hid the long wavy beauty of it, my tear stained face hid the clear grey that was my eyes, plus I’m sure the picture was taken to show the troubles I was facing, in other words I was ugly. I remembered the day the picture would have been taken, I had gone to Simon’s office to confront him when I couldn’t get a hold of him at home, that day I left his office crying as the only words he said to me were harsh

Simon’s povThe sound of a door slam startled me from what I was working on; I looked up and saw my fuming mother. ‘Oh, I guess it’s my door that slammed then’ I thought,She stormed over to me, ‘what is this I hear on the news about you, what is this I hear you did to Tina’ she says,‘Mum, you know better than to believe everything you see on the TV’ I told her and went back to what I was doing on my laptop.She slammed my laptop shut and yelled at me ‘Tina told me what happened, she told me you dragged her to a gynae to find out if she was pregnant for your baby, I scoffed at her words ‘so Tina has made a habit of talking to you about me’‘Do you expect her to suffer in silence, do you know how hard I tried before I got her to open up to me’ she adds.‘When I saw the article about you two in front of a gynae, I thought I would be expecting good news only for me to find out about how you threatened that you would have made her get an abortion had she been pregnant.’I stood up and

Simon’s POVThe day before.‘I find myself smiling more often days’, my eyes were fixed on the screen of a computer, various sections of it, showing numerous footages of different places, in so many angles.‘I think this is my newest addiction’, despite the vast number of footages, my eyes were fixed only on a select few.The ones that had Tina in them.I was in the control room of Bells department store, watching Tina,The statement sounded creepy in my head but it was just hard to resist.The moment I entered, one look from me had sent the security personnel scurrying out.Not that they had a choice, after all I was paying the estimated amount of sales the store made in a day.When you payed close to a half a billion dollars just to spend a few hours in a department store, even the ground you walk on becomes gold.Remote in hand, I enlarge the section containing Tina so that it took up the whole screen.Watching her was me newest addiction,It sounded creepy, even to me, but it was

The next morning as I stare at my beloved white ceiling, I notice something as changed,Firstly, I couldn’t find that square shaped faded spot on my ceiling, or the sparse streaks of pure white among my ceiling, I look to the side to see the tendrils of dawn that I was once accustomed to, to see it as full blown streaks of sunlight spilling across my bedroom floor.It was a welcome change, the fact that I slept better, I didn’t wake up just few hours after sleeping only to stare, frustrated,It was a happy change I noticed, one that had me smiling as I got ready, never mind the side- eyed looks that Ajax was giving me.Apply makeup on, I notice the bags under my eyes were fading and I no longer needed to apply a thick layer of powder to hide it.It was wonderful, healing my heart, letting go of built up hatred that had lasted six years long.‘Mum, what has you smiling like that’, Ajax finally stops with suspicious looking, opting to confront me directly.‘Don’t tell me you got a husb

The first few days after the merger were hectic, Simon’s schedule was packed full which resulted in me working overtime most of the time,‘I’m sorry, I know how much you like going home on time’, Simon turns to tell me the moment we arrive back in Trove after a meeting 2 hours away from the company.Despite the fact that he was stressed out from the unending conversation with the young blond woman whose name I learned was Veronica Maxwell,She was the young CEO of the only company that could stand to par with SM and Simon wanted to meet her to make an investment into her new Tech company.The meeting had started with an intense stare down, where they both sized each other up,She finally broke the stare with a smile, brushing back the messy strands of her almost-white hair and stretching her hand out for Simon to shake.They both settled down to steak and wine and as I watched them only one question reigned in my head.‘What was it with rich people and smiling even when they’re raging

Lunch had ended, so the restaurant was sparsely filled, since lunch rush was over, Bella had taken a seat close to me, head drawn forward in a gossipy stance.I draw closer to her, not minding the bewildered look on her face, shushing her when she got loud.‘You must be bat shit crazy’, she whispers it this time, still looking at me,A laugh ripples from my insides, seeing her serious face.‘This is not a laughing matter, Tina’‘How could you agree to be friends? You’re the one losing’, she eyes me up and down as I laugh,‘This is not about losing or winning, Bella, it’s about trying to let go of heartache’She still eyes me as I continue,‘I’ve held unto hatred, bitterness for years and it has turned my heart into a black, ulcered mess’, my expression sours for a moment,‘So that’s it, you’re just going to forgive him, just like that’, she raises her hand up, expressive in discouraging me.‘No, he hurt me too much, I can’t forgive him just yet, I’m just giving him a chance to win my
