Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

She shook it a little, and she felt it move in her hand a little. She glanced at him in confusion.

“What is this?”

“Check it out”

She slowly opened the box and could hardly believe what she saw. In it was a little cute white puppy.

“Wha-” she held the little thing in her hand and she inspected it. This wasn’t a stuffed animal. It’s deep black eyes was staring at her. The little thing blinked. It was real.

“It’s real”

He nodded in affirmation.

“Is this really for me?”

“It is your birthday gift?”

She swallowed a lump that formed in her throat and was on the verge of tears. She felt so touched.

“How did you think of getting me this too?” She thought it impossible for him to guess the three things she wanted so badly on her birthday.

“Another lucky guess” he said, looking away. He looked so suspicious. She narrowed her eyes at him.

“Fine. I accidentally saw it”

She tilted her head. “Saw what?”

“Your wishlist”

She gasped. “You…… you read my journal”

“Like I said, it was accidental. I didn’t mean to. It was opened so I just took a peek”

“What other things did you see?”

“Nothing”

“Really?” She searched his eyes to see whether he was lying or not.

“Really. Is there something I should not see in it?”

“Of course!” She exclaimed. The room went silent. Both of them were surprised at her outburst.

“I mean, a journal is for personal use. My heartfelt thoughts are in it, so it is definitely not for someone else to see” she said.

There were three things on her birthday wishlist. First, travel to New Jersey. Second, get a stuffed animal and third, get a puppy. She should have found it weird when she got everything she wished for.

He nodded. “Of course. I’m sorry” There was an awkward silence for a while. “Aren’t you going to give it a name?”

“Uhh…is it a girl or a boy?”

“A girl”

“Um, I’ll give it…” she thought for a while. “Sadie! Yes. Sadie. Hello, Sadie” she tickled the little animal. It whined a little. “Isn’t she cute?” She spared Jared a glance. Her smile was infectious. She had not been this happy in ages, and he was relieved. It looks like she wasn’t mad at him anymore.

****************

She sat on the bar stool, ignoring the lascivious stares she received from men. They openly ogled, but none of them was bold enough to approach her. She was in a bright short red dress. Her laps were on display. One of them gathered his courage and sat beside her.

“Hello princess” he has a flirtatious smile on his lips. She pretended not to hear him and got busy with her phone. The man was embarrassed and cleared his throat. “Can’t you hear me?”

Amelia rolled her eyes. “Get lost” she said lazily. It left a big bruise on his ego.

He smirked. “I see you are playing hard to get. How about I take you home tonight. I’ll pay any amount you want”

She wanted to hit him right there and then but changed her mind. “Any amount?”

A smile appeared on his lips, thinking she was about to agree. She was an easy woman, after all.

She requested a pen and paper from the bartender, rand wrote the amount she wanted. The smile vanished from his face the moment she saw the amount. There were uncountable zero. It was more than a trillion. He doubted he would be able to make this money in his lifetime. He rumpled the paper and it away with anger.

She smiled crookedly, “You can’t pay it? Then FUCK. OFF” He looked like he wanted to rip her into pieces. He grabbed her phone and threw it on the floor.

“You think I don’t know the likes of you? A cheap woman who is only after money, even at the cost of selling her body. You are just-” A punch landed on his cheek and a tooth fell out. She grabbed him in the collar and raised him. She wasn’t going to do this before, but he had gone too far.

Her aura had changed into a murderous one. “You were saying?”

People had turned their attention to them. No one dared to approach her,

The man was on the verge of wetting his pants. “M… miss, please forgive me. It won’t happen again”

“It definitely will not. But forgive you? Nah. Especially when you went that far. So tell me, how should I punish you, huh?”

His whole body shook. She smiled when she realized the best method.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“You know, I just thought of something. You were talking about spending the night with me. Since that isn’t possible anymore, how about I get rid of it. I mean your dick”

His eyes widened. “No… no, please don’t”

She raised her knee and kicked him twice in the groin. He almost lost consciousness.

“Now SCRAM!”

He held his penis and ran out with wobbly legs.

She went back to her seat and wiped her hand before throwing the handkerchief into the trash. The bartender was visibly scared, so she offered him a friendly smile.

A young man came in a few minutes later and sat beside her.

“Your highness”

“What did you find?”

“He has been seeing a woman recently”

“A woman?”

“They seem quite close”

As far as she knew Damon, he would never be close to anybody.

Could he and that woman be in cohorts?

“Who is the woman?”

He handed her Valerie’s picture.

“This is her?” She was pretty, but she doubted Damon would ever be carried away by a girl’s beauty.

“Yes, your highness. I also found out something interesting. The lady in the picture is the secretary of the CEO of Smith Industries”

“She is Jared’s secretary?”

Were Damon and this woman really working together?

****************

Valerie didn’t feel so bored anymore because she had her new companion. Jared was nice enough to give her a day off, so she was home all day.

She smoothened the puppy’s fur. “I want to go grocery shopping. Want to come with me?”

It whined in response. “I’ll take that as a yes” She picked it up, and they went out together.

She was done shopping and was about to come out when she bumped into someone. The other person was holding a coffee, so everything spilled on her.

“Oh, I’m so sorry” Valerie quickly apologized.

“It’s okay” Amelia replied with a smile.

Valerie felt so guilty. She brought out her handkerchief and tried to wipe her dress, but Amelia insisted on doing it herself.

“I’ll wash this and return it to you”

“That is not necessary”

“I insist”

She gave Valerie her phone. “Input your number, so I can call you when I get it done. What a cute puppy you have there, by the way”

Valerie smiled, blushing a little. “It’s a special gift given to me by a special person”
