LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

“Hey,” Smiles calls out to Lisa who stood outside the company building. She seems to be waiting for someone.

“Hey!” Lisa returns the greeting with a smile.

“What are you doing here?” , “Any idea where Derrick is?” Both questions came out at once, they stared at each other, confused about who to start.

“You first,” Lisa urges.

“Derrick isn’t here… he’s no longer working for Keane, he’s taken over our dad’s company ” she explains.

She came out to get fresh air, not like she wasn’t getting any in Keane’s office. She just needed natural air. Indeed, pregnancy can be such a load.

She didn’t need to ask knowing who she came for.

Lisa nods, sadly. Since the last time they separated, she hasn’t seen him. He didn’t bother coming to check on her.

She tried hard not to think about it but she just couldn’t, her heart was growing wary the more she stayed away from him.

A sheepish smile appears on Smiles’s lips. “Are you guys… um… dating?” She asked.

Lisa’s eyes were wide open. She wasn’t expecting such a question.

“It’s ok if you ain’t… pardon my question, it was just… babbling nonsense ” she continued, trying to get rid of the awkward silence.

“It’s ok” Lisa waves. “Have to get going now, thanks for the information anyway” she turns away.

Smiles could only stare at her living. There was a sad look on her face, the look she could never get confused on.

She had that same look when Keane had no interest in her.

She thought Lisa would get mad at her for snatching him but she wasn’t.

Her looks spoke of something else, something she could tell but couldn’t pinpoint the right places.

Taking enough air, she walks back into the building throwing her hands left and right with counting steps.

“Yoga should help” she mutters under her breath, entering the elevator.

Sitting in her car, Lisa stares at the empty road. How was supposed to explain what she was feeling?

She wants him gone, but her needs and heart want him.

Just what the hell did he do to her that she’s unable to think straight?

The more she tried to ignore the feeling, the more intense it was.

Guess she just didn’t know what she wanted anymore.

She pushes through her door, and slumps on the floor, crying.

It’s all so complicated, and hard to decide.

“Never saw you this broken” she heard him speak, that familiar voice she’d come to love, that vice she’d come to want.

Her head snapped to the side, and their gaze met. Disbelief was written all over her face.

She couldn’t believe he was standing before her, in her apartment. Just how the heck did he get in?Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

She quickly wipes away her tears, adjusting her dress.

“What are you doing here?” She asked, ignoring his gaze.

” To see you” he takes two steps forward, and she steps back, giving her distance.

He didn’t move any further, but his gaze never left her face.

” I don’t know what is wrong or how you see things… what people say or their belief, all I know is you, Lisa, the woman I’ve always loved” she gulps.

He tries moving forward and she still steps behind again. She’s clearly telling him to stop.

He wipes on his face.”It’s ok if you don’t feel the same, I get it… hope you find someone more deserving of you and will always love you above all ”

He hands her bag to her,” Came to return this”. With that, he left.

She stood there frozen, tears rolling down her eyes.

Her heart wants one thing and her mind wants the total opposite. How was she supposed to get things right?

How was she supposed to choose?

” Hope you find someone more deserving of you” those words came ringing in her head.

Was that his goodbye? Her kind grew wide at the realization.

She doesn’t think and runs out in pursuit of him. He can’t possibly be living right?

No, he can’t. She consoles herself.

She arrived but didn’t find a single soul. He is long gone.

Her heart clenched to her chest, as tears trickled down her cheeks.

There was nothing she could do, he was gone.

Her indecisiveness and conflict have made her lose the only person who cared about her with everything he’s got.

She didn’t even get the chance to tell him how she felt and more.

She didn’t get the chance to kiss him goodbye.

Sadly, she walks back into the building to her apartment.

A knock came on the door and she was quick to get it, hoping it was Derrick.

Her once hopeful face falls when she sees Mark, not Derrick.

She walks back and slumps on the couch, Mark follows her behind.

“What’s wrong?” He asked to take a seat by the side.

her answer was vague and bland.

He pressed on, “You don’t look well”. This got her annoyed.”When did you start caring for me? Stop playing fake here” she retorted rudely.

Silently engulfed the entire room.

“I was never there when you needed me most, I always seem too busy to spend time with you and I turn to ignore you almost all the time but that hasn’t stopped me from loving you, because you are my sister… I’ve made lots of mistakes and one of them is my irresponsible attitude towards you as your brother and as your friend”. The tone was regretful. How should he tell her how sorry is?

” It’s ok if you don’t believe me… but believe your heart and what it says… don’t make the same mistake I did” She stares at him in disbelief. It’s unlike him to speak up so nicely

” Why are you doing all this? ” She asked, curiosity written all over her face.

“I was never the brother I ought to be but I am willing to make that change… to stand by you” he explains.

This was all she wanted to hear. So much as she was hurt by his unaffected behavior towards her, she was happy her brother was back.

She hugs him, crying. It’s been like forever both had a heart-touching conversation. And this only made her even more teary.

“I want to take you somewhere” he informs pulling away from the hug.

“Somewhere?” She asked skeptically.

“Yes… go get ready… I promise you will love it” he urged her to leave. With no resistance, she walks to her room.
