My Unwanted Billionaire

“Do you guys know each other?” I asked, confused as to why they are insulting one another.

“You could say that,” Evan says, with an evil glint in his eyes while staring at Amber.

“I don’t know this rich snob,” Amber says with venom dripping in her words.

“Wow, Amber, if you don’t know him, why do you keep insulting him?” I ask, confused with all the hostility towards Evan.

“I will tell you why. This morning he used his expensive car to splash water on me while I was standing beside the road and when I asked him to buy me new clothes for ruining mine. He said I should be lucky he is not pressing charges against me for hitting his car with my shoe.”

“You hit his car with your shoe?” I ask, surprised she will do that, but I shouldn’t be surprised. This is Amber we are talking about. Even if the man is 7 feet tall, Amber will still pick a fight with him.

“She did, and thank God it’s an expensive car liked she said, so the windshield behind was strong and suffered no damage,” Evan says before Amber can speak.

“Thank God,” I say, releasing a breath of relief that I won’t have to help Amber look for money to compensate for the damage her shoes might have done to Evan’s car.

“She was fortunate.”

“Regardless, Evan, I can’t believe you would splash water on someone and not apologize,” I say, surprised by the way he handled things with Amber. Amber’s actions don’t surprise me, but I am surprised by his.

“I was going to, but she refused to apologize for using her shoe to hit my car” Evan defends his actions.

“That’s true, Amber; you shouldn’t have used your shoe to hit his car, and you should be happy he did not make you pay.”

“I can’t believe you are taking his side. I am your best friend, and he was driving away; that’s why I had to stop him with my shoe” Amber defends her own actions.

“Really, you were going to drive away,” I ask

“I didn’t know I splashed water on her”

“You knew you jerk,” Amber says, glaring at him and takes a step closer to him,

“As I told you this morning, I didn’t see you standing there,” Evan says, glaring back at her and also gets closer to her. They are practically only a breath away from one another, and they are glaring at each other with so much anger in their eyes. I can tell they have already killed each other in their heads.

“I think we should just let this matter go because I don’t think any one of you is willing to agree you were wrong with your actions,” I say and walk in between them to make them break eye contact.

“I think that is for the best,” Evan says,

“Thank you, Amber?” I ask, hoping she will drop the topic so that we can have a good time

“Just because you asked,” She says, huffing before removing her glaring eyes away from Evan

“Good, now let the partying begin. Evan, have you had anything yet” I ask

“I am actually here to invite you guys to join me in VIP.”

“Oh, that’s nice, come on, Amber, let’s go,” I say, linking my arms with hers.

“I am not going,” Amber says, pulling me back with our linked arms

“Amber, please forget about what happened this morning and party with me,” I plead with my eyes.

“Only because I don’t want to leave you alone.”

“Thank you,” I say, smiling, and pull her with me to follow Evan.

We take the stairs to the VIP section, and now that I am here, I wish I didn’t come.

“Jason, I hope you don’t mind; I invited Eleanor to join us,” Evan says,

“Whatever,” He says, barely sparing me a glance, and continues to listen to something the girl sitting on his lap is saying to him. He looks different in a pair of jeans and shirt than his usual suit, but he still looks sexy as ever.

I walk over to sit beside Evan with Amber next to me. Evan hands me a drink, and I thank him. We spend the whole night talking and drinking. I tried to act like Mr. Jason and pretend like he was not here, but I couldn’t. The way the lady on his lap kept eating his face in the name of kissing made me think of Vivienne. I could not stop thinking about the fact that he had sex with her earlier today, and now he is practically having sex with the lady on his lap; He is such a player. As much as he is attractive, I can never see myself with someone like him.

After having fun and drinking till I can barely walk in a straight line, Amber and I decide to go home. Luckily for us, Evan has his driver here, so he is taking us home. He drops me first before driving Amber to her house. She is too drunk to care about who is driving her because I am sure she would rather walk home than enter Evan’s car if she were sober.

I wake up with a jolt once I hear Uncle Jack’s voice.

“Ouch, Uncle Jack, you did not have to wake me up like that,” I groan as I try to suppress the headache I have. I sit up on my bed but realize I am sleeping on the couch. I must have dozed off here when I came home, thinking it was my bed.

“I wouldn’t have to if you were not late to your party,” He says, handing Advil and a glass of water.

“Thank you,” I say, collecting the Advil and glass of water from his hand. “Which party are you talking about,” I ask as I try to rack my brain to remember what party he is talking about.

“The one Mr. Crawford invited you for this weekend. His all-white brunch party,” Uncle Jack says, and I remember.

Mr. Crawford has an all-white brunch party today, and he invited me.

“Oh, my God, I can’t believe I forgot. What is the time” I say and stand up to walk to my room. I also check the time on my phone, but it’s dead.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“It’s 11:30 a. m; you have 30 minutes to get ready,” Uncle Jack says from the living room.

“I can’t believe I forgot,” I say, walking out of my room after taking off my clothes and putting on my towel. We only have one bathroom in the house.

“I know, and you should be grateful I remembered,” He says

“I know, and that’s why I love you,” I say, walking into our bathroom

“I love you too dear, and hurry,” He says before walking away

I spend 10 minutes in the bathroom doing my business. I quickly walk out and walk to my room to put on my dress. I already picked out the white dress I will wear today, so after I put on my undies. I slip on my beautiful white dress. It’s a white ruffled sundress. Once I put on my sandals, I run out the door and find a cab to be on my way. I hope by the time I reach Mr. Crawford’s house, I won’t be too late.

I arrive after 20 minutes of driving in a taxi. Luckily, there was no traffic on my way. I can imagine if I was living in city like New York and not in California. I would have been at least an hour late.

“You are late,” Kassie says once she opens the front door for me.

“I know, I just need to use the bathroom,” I say, entering the house

I didn’t want to go straight to the gardens where the party is. I wanted to use the bathroom in the house and make sure I look okay.

“Be quick; Mr. Crawford has asked for you twice.”

“I will,” I say, walking to the guest bathroom.

Once I am done checking my makeup, I walk out of the bathroom in a hurry, and this causes me to bump into someone.

“I am sorry,” I say to the person before lifting my eyes to see who I hit.

“What are you doing here?” Mr. Jason asks with a frown on his face.

“I invited her,” Mr. Crawford says, beating me to answer Mr. Jason

“You invited her; why.”

“Because she is a friend of mine, and I wanted to introduce her to some people.”

“You might as well make her your heir,” Mr. Jason says and roughly walks past me. He hits my body so hard that Mr. Crawford has to hold me from falling.

“Sorry dear,” Mr. Crawford says, as he helps me stand on my feet

“It’s okay, and what did he mean that you should make me your heir,” I ask, confused as to why Mr. Jason would say that. I know he thinks I threaten his position as CEO, but the statement he just made makes me wonder if his grandfather is also the cause of why he suspects me, but I am not sure.

“Don’t take anything Jason says seriously. He does not know what he is saying,” Mr. Crawford says, brushing it off.

“Alright if you say so,” I say, dropping the topic, but I know Mr. Jason is not saying things he does not know about.

“Yeah, and come dear, I have a few people I would like you to meet,” He says, leading me to the gardens.
