The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire

Rafael’s POV

I listened to the busy tone repeatedly played on my phone as I was laying on the big lather sofa in my office. I made three consecutive calls and all of them were rejected. I let out a ragged breath filled with rage. As for the seventh call I failed to get through. The tenth call, the eleventh call, the twelfth call. Every time I made a call I hear the disconnected tone.

I gritted my teeth and hissed, “Why her phone is busy all this time?”

Jack, my personal assistant, and Norm, my secretary, exchanged looks. They were discussing some details about the upcoming deal and when they heard me raved angrily, they focused with me and carefully observed my expression for a bit.

I saw a playful excepressin on their faces, whereas Norm was trying to hide his amusement, Jack said with a chuckle, “Rafael, in this situation, when you hear the busy tone repeatedly, usually means that your number had been black listed!”

I glared at his without understanding and roared, “Black listed? What the hell that Black Listed mean? Has my mobile SIM card been blocked?”

“No, boss. In fact that there’s a call block list in every mobile phone. It used when someone Bothers you and you don’t want to contact with that person again, so he or she cannot call you ever again!”

Jack raised his eye brows and asked, “So, you never been black listed before? I wounder who dare to balck list you, boss?”

I hit the mug of coffee before me in fury to splash the coffee on the ground while the mug turned into small pieces of glass.

I growled, “Black listed?”

I stared at them in a cold gaze, the atmosphere in the room grow tense, and I yelled in a sharp tone ordering Norm, “Call Natalie through my office cordless phone right now!”

He went promptly to my desk and grabbed the phone, dialed her number.

“Put it on the speaker!” I ordered.

The same busy tone rang out through the speaker. I gustered to him to try again. He tried for the third time and the same tone repeated frecuently.

At that time, a knocks on my office door distructed us. Then Debbie opened the door and extended her head oplogilatically through the door and said, “Hey, I hope I’m not interrupting anything”

“Why you are here?” I asked impatient.

She blinked several times, and stammered, “I.. I was near by and thought of visiting you.”

I ignored her as I lost my last drop of patience and grumbled to Jack after I stacked my phone on the table, “Give me your damn phone!”

He handed it over and begged, “It’s the latest version and a gift from Anastasia. Don’t smash it, man.”

After receiving Jack’s phone, furiously I entered her number and pressed dial. The sound of the series of the ringing tone went through the speaker. Jack’s number wasn’t black list.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

Everybody at the office room was staring at me waiting for Natalie to pick up the call. After a few seconds passed, Natalie’s polite greeting was heard, “Hello, Jack!”

Debbies expression was dimed.

I snapped furiously, “Why did you black listed me?”

After a long silence, she said in a flat tone, “Are you alone?”

I raised my eyes to meet the three pairs of eyes that was staring at me ciouriesly, and they shifted their gazes once they heard Natali’s question.

I nonchalantly answered, “No,” the last thing I was worrying about was these. I was afraid that she would misunderstand me, as we had not finished reading the contract.

She gave me a casual answer, “Yep, I black listed your number”

My face darkened and I saw red. Did she dared to provok me? I landed a kick on the side coffee table and smash it on the wall before it. I growled through the phone, “Provide me with a reasonable explanation!”

“Explaination? Who should explain things to the other?” she sniffed.

I said furiously, “You didn’t give me the chance to explain!”

“I’m busy. I’m hanging up” as soon as she ended her sentence, she hung up the phone without waiting for my response.

“Fuck!” I roared.

I dialed her number again, but all I heard was the same busy tone I heard before. She black listed Jack’s number also!

I was afried if she misunderstood the contract. Why I felt before that I can easly control her? I really misjudged her. She wasn’t easy as much I thought.

Debbie stammered with her delicate voice, “Rafael? Is there something wrong going on with your sister, Natalie? I can…”

“Get lost! All of you, get the hell out of here!” I growled trempling with fury.

Without hesitation, the three of them raced to the door. It was the first time they saw me loosing control on my temper.

However, before they went out of the office, I commanded, “Jack, Norm. wait!”

Debbie stared back at me, and with a sad expression, she left the office. I felt sad for her. I know I’ll never feel anything for her. Our engagment was a huge mistake. The thing I was feeling with Natalie, I never experienced before.

But things between me and Debbie are not complicated. She will respect my decision after all and we will call off the engagement in the right time.

“Yes, boss?” Norm said.

“Find her location” I ordered.

Norm promptly bowed his head and took his way to leave. I growled at Jack while leaving the office, “Follow me!”

As we entered the elevator he asked, “What happened? Why Natalie blocked your number?”

I pressed the first floor bottom, put my hands in my pockets and leaned on the elevator wall crossing my feets. I mumbled with frustration, “I asked her to sign the contract!”

“Are you crazy?” Jack said in shock.

I raised an eyebrow and exclaimed, “Why? Didn’t you made anastasia sign that contract with you before marriage?”

“Anastasia and I loved each other, Raf! Your case is different. You guys even didn’t had a real marriage!” He argued trying to convince me. But I was stubborn.

I stepped out of the elevator once it stopped. Thinking of the word LOVE that Jack

mentioned. Is this what we lack?

LOVE!!

“Love!” I tested the word in my tongue several times.
