The Billionaire's Secret Lover

Chapter 65: Austin

“ No, you are lying and you know what I do to people who lie, prepare yourself cause I'm coming back

and when I do, I will make sure to satisfy my last fantasy with you” I told Nina clearly before storming

off the tiny room I had kept her in.

My blood was boiling with anticipation, as I prepared myself for what I had to do with her next. I walked

up the stairs and took the stairs up to the second floor where I use as my office and living area.

I stepped into the room, with Xavier following closely behind me “ Do you think what Nina said is true?”

Xavier asked me as I turned to look at him. He was standing at the door with his hands resting on the

door.

“ What kind of question is that?” I asked him, turning to sit down on the dirty couch across from him.

Even though I knew what he was asking me, I had to pretend not to.

“ About you being responsible for Mia's death? Did you raped her? ” Xavier asked me, his voice coming

out stronger with an edge to it than he had intended. I avoided his eyes, even mom had told me that

the last time I was at home. Was this what she was trying to tell me ?. I can't believe she knew.

“ What do you mean by that? Are you sick ?” I glared at Xavier. I knew how he felt about Mia. He had

always loved her from afar. I know he's only here with me because he wants to avenge Mia's death.

“ I'm sorry. I thought what she was saying was true ” Xavier apology to me as I nodded at him.

“ You shouldn't be believing whatever Nina is saying she's trying to pave her way out of here alive and

I'm never going to allow that” I replied as I clenched my fist.

“ What do you suggest we do now? It's dangerous and she knows too much about us to let her go ”

Xavier told me, his eyes searching my face for a possible answer.

I knew all of that. After knowing that Michael isn't responsible for Mia's death. I'm going to kill Nina and

later dump her body in the forest.

I want to get back at Michael for not defending me all those years when our classmates make fun of

me. And as for Nina, I'm going to kill her for having the perfect family I never had...

The door opened just as I had come to a conclusion within myself. Deborah walked in, I turned to stare

at her, she was dressed in a black gown and a black scarf which covered her face like a hijab.

She strolled into the room with a smile on her face, as she walked over to me. I keep repeating to

myself over and over again that Deborah doesn't love me that she's only using me.

“ Austin darling? I'm sorry but I need to get going. I hope you'll kill her at night right?” Deborah called

softly to me as she ran her hands down my cheeks.

I smiled at her, even though I ought to be annoyed with her for using me and making me believe that

she loves me but No, here I was glad that she was touching me.

“Yes, I will make sure to end her. You don't need to worry, just get married to Michael and take care of

my son. Okay?” I told her as she nodded. Even though she has been using me all those years, I was

glad that I have a son with her. When he grows, I will take him and train him to be a good boy.

“ Good ” Deborah replied and turned to walk out of the door but she paused “ And one more thing , be

careful. I heard the police are snobbing around ” With that she stepped out of the door leaving us to

wonder about what she meant by that. I turned to Xavier who was also looking at me lost for words.

“ Get the tools for me, it's time for the hunt ” I nodded to Xavier who turned to run out of the door.

As soon as Xavier left the room, I walked over to the next room to shower and get ready for the real

deal tonight.

As the water cascaded down my back , I couldn't help thinking back to those days when I had found

out that I had a personality Disorder, that there were two people in me.

***

Six years ago

I walked into one of the best hospitals in France. I came over after one of my musical festivals. I walked

down the hallway to one of the nurses who was staring at me, I hope she doesn't recognize me as I

was using a costume.

“ Hi ! I'm looking for Dr. Pato” I told her with a gentle smile on my face while bringing my blazer to cover

my face leaving only my eyes

She smiled “ Do you have an appointment ?” She asked as I nodded, she then directed me into Dr.

Pato's office. He was a counselor, this was where Mia used to go.

Dr Pato stared at me as he dropped the bombshell on me “ I'm afraid Mr. Walker , you have DID. That

was the result of the text we conducted on you years back” I was shocked, I didn't know that was the

reason why Mia had tricked me down to the hospital but how did she guess?.

“ Is there any cure for this , Doctor ?” I asked him my eyes, begging him frantically to find me a cure.

“ I'm afraid not Mr. Walker. I told your sister that some years back. I thought you didn't know about it

then. How did you find out ?” Doctor Pato asked me, prepositioning his glasses on his face.

“ My manager pointed it out to me, ” I told him slowly. As I stood up to leave the hospital, a lot of things

were on my mind, like how was I going to leave knowing that there were two people in me? but over

the years I had survived and learnt to live with it.

I came back from my thought to see that Xavier was back from the errand I had sent him, I nodded at

him as I rushly dressed. I took the gun from him and tested the ammunition before turning to look at

him. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“ Today is going to be the last day. How do you feel” I asked Xavier, he opened his mouth to speak but

pause as the sound of his cell phone ringing interrupted us. I nodded to him to pick it up before turning

to stare out of the window, where the night was just turning darker.

“ What did you say? The police ” I heard Xavier called into the phone panting breathlessly

“ The police ?” I screamed at Xavier, banging my fist loudly on the table. Why now?

“ Okay, thanks man,” Xavier called into the phone and hang up before turning to stare at me.

“ I'm afraid the taxi man told the police, “ Xavier said, putting his eyes on the floor. I punched the

nearest left wall in anger.

“ Why didn't you kill that man when I asked you to? Huh” I screamed up at him. Now see what he has

caused.

“ I'm sorry, I thought there was no need for that ” Xavier apology as I brushed past him down the

hallway to where Nina was.

The blood pounding loudly in my veins from anticipation of what I was about to do to her.

I'm going to give her a painful death that in her next life she will think twice before becoming a mistress

to a rich man.

I opened the door to see Nine gazing up at me with fear in her eyes, her eyes went to Xavier who was

behind me and back to me before taking in my mood of dressing.

I had particularly picked these outfits to elicit such a response from her as she was gazing up at me

with fear filled her eyes.

I walked closer to where she was seated on the floor, I lifted her chin up to stare into my emotionless

eyes “ It's time for the hunt. Take her out ” I told Xavier who rushed to oblige. He dragged her out of the

tiny room, to outside into the bush which was dark.

I had everything planned but just as I wanted, the rules were to make her run while I chased her.

There was no way for escape as the bush was round in circle only I and Xavier knew the escape route.

I laughed as soon as I saw her scrambling into the darkness. She fell and stood up again gathering her

dress in her hands she ran as I laughed “ Run Nina Run. Escape cause if I find you, you won't like it” I

called to her.

Even though I stay put at a spot. I could see her trying to make her way out of the forest with help of my

binoculars.

I handed the binoculars to Xavier who was beside me. I then decided to play another game on her

while pretending to be the real weak Austin “ Nina, where are you ? I'm sorry, please I'm not going to

hurt you, come to me ” I told her in my soft voice, I waited patiently waiting to see if she will fall into my

trap but Nina was smarter than I had imagined.

“ Run Nina Run ” I called out angrily. I saw her leave the back of the big tree where she was hiding and

smile to myself.

Just as I took a step to go in the opposite direction to go meet her, I heard the faintest sound of the

police sirens. It was getting clearer as they were getting nearer.

I froze in place for a few minutes before turning to look at Xavier, he understood the silent message

that passed between us before I turned and ran to go and meet Nina before the police would get to her.

I have to finish off what I had started.

Nina didn't see me approaching from the back as she stood watching to see if I was coming after her.

I ready the gun in my hands and point it at her forehead just as she turned to look at me. The look on

her face right now was priceless. Her eyes were wide from fear and hair was all over her face.

“ I told you to run, I gave you the chance to escape but here you are back in my arms. Why couldn't

you escape when I asked you to?” I asked her, even though I had wanted to kill her. A part of me which

is the real Austin would have been pleased if she had escaped but here she was as naive as she has

always been.

I had expected her to beg me. Pleaded with me to spare her life but the Nina in front of me was looking

at me with a brave look in her eyes.

My eyes hardened from annoyance, how dare her? Why couldn't she beg me? My hands immediately

went to pull the trigger but I never did get the chance to as another gunshot was heard just behind me.

I turned in time to see Michael running and screaming Nina's name.

I was surprised as I stood watching him, he came over and wrapped his hands around her body crying

and begging her to wake up.

In all my life I had never seen Michael cry, he was alway cold hearted and didn't care about anyone's

feelings.

I mean he stood all those years and watched our schoolmates bully me but he never did lift a finger to

help me because that's the kind of person Michael Thomson is ..... What changed now? Because he

fell in love with Nina.

“ Are you alright ?” A policeman's voice called to me, causing me to turn and stare at him away from

Michael. I wanted to tell him that I was fine but I couldn't speak. My eyes felt heavy and I felt weak. I

was going down the floor little by little , only then did I notice that I was shot instead of Ninal.

“ He's down” The policeman called out to the rest of his colleagues. I felt them lift me to a stretcher just

as I succumbed into darkness.
