Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

****

“Sharon?!” Aiden call again as he moved slowly towards her.

Sharon was standing with Jimmy as she payed for their food.

“Sharon” he called more loudly but she didn’t hear him. Claire wondered what is wrong with him, why is he calling Sharon? Who is Sharon? Why does he look so serious?

Is Sharon someone she knows? If it is who is she?

“Aiden” she called but he just walked towards Sharon. “Sharon” he called as soon as he was close enough to her.

Sharon stared at him with so much anger, it seems like she’s ready to transfer her aggression on him.

“Sharon, please let’s talk” he pleaded.

“Mommy do you know him?” Jimmy asked as he stared at Aiden. Mommy? When did she give birth?

If this child is not hers then who is he?

“I don’t” Sharon replied Jimmy before walking away. Aiden ran after her and was quick enough to get hold of her wrist.

“Please Sharon I just want to talk” he pleaded. “We have nothing to talk about Mr” she snapped before trying to walk away but his hand on her wrist prevented her from doing so.

“Let go of me Aiden!” She snapped at him. Claire was already outside watching their argument.

Her hand was folded on her chest, she sighed as she was tempted to interfer but she wanted to avoid unnecessary issues so she just watched.

She also guessed, she could be the ex he cheated on and wants to apologize to.

“Sharon I just want to apologize” he said still not letting go of her wrist.” Apologize” she scoffed, ” for what Aiden? Why do you want to apologize?” She asked.

“For everything. I want to apologize for everything I did to you. You don’t deserve any of it. I am really sorry for breaking your heart” he apologized, sincerely.

Sharon glared at her as her breathing suddenly became hard. “I have been planning to do this” she said before landing a slap on his face.

” That is for everything you made me go through and for your information I am done with you. If you haven’t heard, I am telling you in person, I am married not just married but happily married” she spat showing him her ring.

His sadness and guilt increased as she talked. He really did lose something precious and hearing it directly from her that she is over him is a greater pain on it’s own.

“Excuse us” Sharon said and rolled her eyes at him before walking to the car with Jimmy behind her.

He watched the car drive out of the restaurant as tears threaten to fall from his eyes. She really deserves someone better.

“Need a shoulder to cry on?” Claire ask with her hand on his shoulder.

He shook his head sideways indicating no and she nodded. “Give me the car keys, o don’t think you can drive” she stretched her hand forward for the key.

” I’m fine” he assured. “Maybe you don’t know but I don’t have a kid yet and I still want to enjoy life so unless you want to drive alone, give me the f*cking key” she demanded.

He chuckle and reached for the key that was in his pocket, he dropped it on her palm and she mouthed a thank you before walking towards the car and he followed.

“Who was that? The girl you were talking to?” Claire asked as they drove back to the company.

” Me ex” he replied. “My guess was right” she smile.

“So did she forgive you?” She asked with her gaze on the road.

“I’m not sure, but I hope she has” he replied.

” She looks beautiful, why did you break up with her?” She asked, “it’s too late for you to get her heart, she’s married with a kid” she added.

” I don’t want to have her back, I don’t deserve her” he said sadly as he stared away with tears in his eyes.

“Just move on. I think it is enough you realized your mistakes” she said

” I plan on moving on I just find it hard to” he replied, “You must have loved her so much, why did you hurt her then?” Claire asked.

” I don’t know, I guess I was a fool” he chuckle. ” Wow, Aiden Kings is calling himself a fool all for love” she joked and he laughed

*********

Sharon was quiet through out the ride, she was lost in thought Jimmy kept stealing glances at her.

She kept on sighing, she was confused and surprised. Why Aiden apologizing now? What got into him?.

He cheated on her either Sheila because he loves her right and when she caught them, they showed no remorse for their actions.

So why is he suddenly apologizing? What is he expecting? For her to forgive him and go back to the way they were? That is not possible.

She is married now and even if she wasn’t she will never date him. Not in this lifetime not in the next.

“Mommy, what are they thinking about?” Jimmy asked Sharon.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

” Nothing important” she shrugged. “Is it about that man we saw at the restaurant?” He asked.

“No, I have no reason to think about him” she replied, swiftly.

” Is he your friend? Why didn’t you forgive him when he apologized?” Jimmy asked

” I forgave him a long time. I was just mad as I remembered what he did to me” she replied.

” Does that mean you are angry at me too?” He asked. ” At you? Why will I need mad at you? You didn’t do anything wrong” she said.

” I locked you in the bathroom. Does it mean you haven’t forgiven me?” He asked

” Of course not. Yours is different I forgave you a long time ago” she said. ” You forgave your friend too but you are still mad because you remembered what he did” he explained.

” No what you did was childish, what he did wasn’t” she replied.

” What difference does it make? We both hurt you” he said.

” Yes, but…. “She was saved by her phone that started ringing. She was out of words anyway and was looking for a way to change the topic.

“Excuse me” she said to Jimmy before picking her call. It was Lena.

“Hel” before Sharon could finish her word she asked. “Are you guys on your way?”

“Yes why?” Sharon ask

“Tia had been crying since you left” she informed.

” Alright try to get to to take milk, we will be there soon” she assured before cutting the call.

” Did something happen to Tia?” Jimmy asked.

“She’s crying” she informed and Jimmy nodded.

*********

“Give me your cell phone” Clair demanded and Aiden gave it to her.

She typed a number on it before returning it to her, “here is my private number, call me if you have a problem” she said.

” Why do you care?” He asked, confused. He didn’t expect her to care about him. Why would she in the first place? They had a one night stand and now they are business partners. Nothing personal.

“Because I see you as a friend, I am not flirting okay. I just like you and I can be of help” she said.

” Thanks I will surely call” he assured and she nodded.

He waited for her car to drive away before going back inside with a smile on his face.

He dialed the number and it didn’t take long for her to pick up. “Am I talking to Miss Bright?” He asked as he waited in front of the elevator.

“Yes, Mr Kings” she answered. “Your voice sounds different, more Melodious” he said, flirt.

” Wow, that a first, so why did you call? You definitely didn’t forget to tell me something” she said

” Yeah I just wanted to confirm the number. I don’t want to get heartbroken if it isn’t your number” he said and she laughed at the other side.

” It is so I will hang up now” she said before ending the call.

Janiece waited for Aiden to return, it was time for her to go home. She already asked a teacher who she just found out lives not so far from her place to take him home.

She is worried about him, he must be hungry by now. She pace up and down the room waiting for Aiden who was taking forever to return.

She raised her head as soon as she heard his footsteps, he was smiling as he stared at his phone.

“What happened?” She inquired walking towards him. ” What?” He replied with a question.

“You are smiling. Did she gave you her number? When next are you meeting?” She asked.

” How did you know?” He asked, surprised.

“Wow my boss just got himself a new girlfriend” she teased and he blush.

” She’s not my girlfriend, she is just a friend” he corrected.
