The Unloved Billionaires And I

ARYA POV

Doctor, “what is wrong with him? Is he okay, what happened?” It was nothing serious, your brother just wanted to see you, why didn’t you say that, I did. No, you said “emergency” oh did I, he scratched his head, sorry, made a mistake. Look here young man, you made her very restless you know? T said to the man, he was very young though. Am sorry, it won’t happen again but your brother wants to see you. “Mama, are you sick?” She said getting scared, she must hate hospitals. I looked at Lucas. He looked so pale. No baby, am not sick, T, can you get them out, he looks like he might faint anytime now Tobias says, hurrying to take them both out. I want to go with mama” Isa struggled in her father’s arms. Don’t worry dear, I won’t be long, wait for me outside, I kissed her cheek while Lucas dragged them out.

Finally! You came, of course I would, I thought something bad had happened to you, I kissed his head, am okay sis, I just wanted to see you and check up on you. you looked sad the last time you were here but now, you look better, so I guess everything Is okay, right? “You were worried about me?” I am always worried, I am your brother I need to be? You don’t have to, am okay, good to know, he said, already starting to fall asleep. Take care sis, I love you, love you too. “mama, uncle T bought me ice cream, that’s nice of him but where is mine, oh, I ate it all she looked down. No problem dear. Uncle T is my favorite uncle in the whole world, I like him very much. You only like me because I bought you ice cream and you want to ask for more, “will you buy me another ice cream so I can share with mama” she says pouting making her look so cute. Oh who can refuse that baby face, get in, let’s get more ice cream, yeah… ice cream! Ice cream…. She kept screaming

Few Days Later

It was finally the time for me to pack up and head back home. Although I love my job as a waitress, it was tiresome. A sigh left my lips as I removed my shoes. It was around nine pm and I was longing to just fall face flat on my bed but I was too lazy to climb the step not even noticing the people looking at my movement until I raised my head and heard whispering coming from Lucas and a woman I recognized as his mother.

Hi I said awkwardly, running my hand through my hair, a gesture which seems to calm me down. I went into the kitchen and saw some leftover pizza. This is definitely Tobias and Isa work written all over it.

I can’t believe this is who you want to marry, what is wrong with her mother. Well, she dresses like a pauper, and what she is eating is pizza, she needs to be fit and eat healthy food.

Mother! You asked me to find myself a girlfriend of my choice, and I did. Son she is not… mother it either her or no one at all, so please respect my decision on this matter. What are you even doing in my house, you never come here, I just came to see you, can’t I visit my son.

Mother, the last time you were here you said my house was too dusty and it needed to be thoroughly clean even though it was already clean the way I like it. But son, I still smelt the dust. Can someone actually smell dust? These people are actually clean freaks, I didn’t say anything, I just kept eating my pizza, watching the two of them argue back and forth.

Her husband was also quiet, he looked cool to me so I offered him my pizza and he ate with me while we watched his wife and son argue about whose home is cleaner, such petty matters shouldn’t be so heated.

We both got fed up and moved to the living room to watch movie, while they kept arguing at the dining, I wonder when they will stop not until we heard a little girl saying “mama, can’t sleep” she rubbed her eyes yawning which made her look adorable

Oh my God she even has a daughter, I told you son, you don’t need her, she is not the right woman for you Vera is, she is perfect, has a nice work and will take good care of you. Mother, I already told you I don’t want to marry Vera, please respect my decision and just so you know this little girl here is my daughter, not Arya’s child.

His mother was so pale that I thought she might fall and die while her father was smiling, a glint of approval flashed across his eyes. A small grin etched in the corner of his lips

You have a daughter? And you didn’t tell me? Why is she calling her mother if she really isn’t the mother? So many questions were asked by his mother. Her mother is Regina, who the hell is Regina. Language mother, a child is here. Sorry dear but who is Regina? Is it crazy Regina his father asked? He nodded covering his daughter’s ear not wanting her to listen to this conversation. I quickly got into action not wanting to stay there for another minute.

Let’s go to your room and leave the grownups to talk. I carried her, she put her head on my shoulder. “Are you sleepy honey?” I asked her, and run my hand through her hair. She nodded in my neck. I opened her door and went toward her bed, I put her down and covered her. I stayed there for a few minutes running my hand on her hair and humming. She slept off immediately and I started humming. I got up from her bed and went to check on them but they were already done, how easy he dismissed his parents. I was tired and sleepy, so I slept off on the couch. When I woke up, I found Lucas working on his laptop again. Is that all he does? What do you do for fun? I asked him, and he answered “work” . Yes, what else do you expect me to do?

What did you play with when you were a child? Am sure Tobias would have made sure you had some fun. This dude, he never plays, even when I force him, he didn’t budge, did you sleep here again? Yes, why didn’t you wake me? You were snoring, no I don’t snore, whatever now listen.

One time when it was snowing, I made the snow into a ball and threw it at him. He yelled so loud that his maids came out and took him. That was the day I found out he was a clean freak, he kept checking himself for any dirt, we wouldn’t come close to me, saying I was dirty and wet, I knew something was wrong with him. Everyone knew I was germaphobic, I didn’t know, I hate listening to gossip.

So, he has never had fun, not even when you take him partying. He just sits there and reads on his phone, I don’t really know what he reads though maybe a novel. I looked at Lucas and noticed his ear was red when Tobias said something about the novel. I thought about it. Maybe he likes reading novels but people like this only read horror novels; they are not meant to read anything that has to do with romance.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
