LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

She felt as confident as ever, and all she could think was him and his sweet taste. He was taken aback by her sudden braveness. Even though she showed it, he didn’t know she would act this daring. But he didn’t mind, he somehow loved it.

His hands travel to her behind the head, pulling her even closer, taking in more of her sweet taste.

Feeling the sudden quietness of the room, Smiles pulls away, covering her face on his chest, face red as a tomato.

“They won’t bite you, you know,” he tells her but she doesn’t move. This part of him brings out both the brave and shy side of her. Was too brave to kiss him but at the same time shy to look at him.

The song ended and Grandpa Jimmy and Grandma Shiley walked up to them, with smiling faces.

“Common now, pretty one…I’ve got to introduce you to someone” he raised his hands urging her to grab which she did, following him quietly.

He leads her to a group of men in expensive black suits, they are old but compared to Grandpa Jimmy, they were younger. They were his sons after all, not like he gave birth to them but they were no different to Autin, his son.

The sight of Smiles left the men speechless, as they stared at her in awe…she was indeed a beauty but the most shocking was her unwavering resemblance to Fiona.

Among the wealthy and elegant men was Mr Wright, the owner of the Wright’s enterprise and father to Derrick.

He was the most shocked, staring at Smiles was like staring at his wife, the last person he will ever forget.

Wright is Fiona’s husband, the one behind her unforeseen death. If only he had believed her, if only he had chosen to investigate more than to conclude, she wouldn’t have died, maybe she would have still been alive.

The sweet memories of her came flooding in his head, as she gazed at Smile’s smiling face as she respectfully greeted the men.

“This is Smiles, my daughter-in-law” Grandpa Jimmy informs proudly as the man nods in satisfaction. Sure end, she’s worth the title of being the daughter-in-law of the Austin family.

Her beauty itself speaks for it.

“Smiles, right?” Mr Wright asked, stretching his hands for a handshake.

“Yes…” She smiles politely. He couldn’t stop staring at her, everything about her speaks of Fiona, it’s like she reincarnated.

This left him wondering if she was the missing child, the one he’d been secretly searching for all this while. He wishes to amend his mistake, and in doing so, he has to get hold of his missing child before trying to get both his children’s forgiveness.

Derrick deliberately left the company to him because of what he did and knowing he is getting older, if he doesn’t make things right not only will he regret and face the consequences but his company will have to pay for it.

Derrick is a simple and easygoing person but when vexed, he silently walks away without saying a word.

He just can’t remember the last time he saw his son.

Smiles stares confusedly at the elderly man who seems to not stop looking at her. He had dark brown hair, she couldn’t see his face clearly but the little she could see was enough to recognize him on their second meet.

A Little chat with the men, Smiles was pulled out of the crowd of men by Grandma Shiley.

“Thanks, grandma…I was slowly dying there” she said, breathing out in relief. She couldn’t believe Grandpa Jimmy would call her only to later bring up a talk on business leaving her hanging. If not because she had learned business in school, she wouldn’t have been off-topic.

“Don’t mind the pretty one…he doesn’t know how to care for a lady…except me, I must confess” Grandma Shiley said proudly. She could only smile at Grandma’s cuteness.

“The saying that love is forever young is true in this case,” Smiles said and Grandma Shiley nodded in agreement.

“If love is to die, then I think it will die with us, ” Grandma Shiley jokes.

Smiles fake a frown.

“Grandma!!” She calls.

“You can’t say much, what about me and Keane,” she asked, faking a teary eye.

“Don’t stress pretty one…you know it’s not possible” Grandma Shiley said soothing her swollen heart.

“You guys can give birth to a new one…a new love that best soothes you younger generation…” she said. Smiles was a bit confused about what she meant by that.

“Love is something you can see and feel…it’s not a man or an object you can carry about…it’s in here, what you feel for him, that’s love” Grandma Shiley points to the chest, telling her all that she is supposed to know.

“So long as this tiny creature always beats for him, always wants him… life will forever reign between you too…in such an extent, it won’t be determined by just what you feel and how it beats because you both will be able to feel it, in actions, words and even gazes…sensing each other from afar, feeling each other pains” She further explains. Smiles could only listen quietly. Coming here has helped her a lot, with the things she’s always been ignored on.

“Only love can hurt so badly and at the same time make you feel alive” Grandma Shiley hands her a plate of grilled chicken. They were at the dining, away from the hall.

“How long have you and Grandpa Jimmy been?” Smiles questions.

“Fifty years,” Grandma Shiley tells her, smiling.

Smiles was amazed at how they’ve stayed together all these years, loving each other to the brim. How she wishes she would be with Keane till wrinkles and gray hair hovers on their faces and heads.NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.

“Have you guys ever had a problem that’s so hard to solve?” Smiles asked curious to know how they deal with all their shortcomings.

“No marriage is a perfect child…but with both parties in love with each other, they will do anything to keep the relationship going…we make compromises, for the better, for a happy ending,” Grandma Shiley tells her.

This got her thinking. If it’s all about making compromises, for love and a healthy relationship, does that mean she will have to compromise even when she knows he has someone he’s in love with?

Just like Lily, she doesn’t see her fate any differently. Loving a man who is in love with another.
