THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

As Ellie watched Edward sleep peacefully, she couldn’t wish for a better life more than the one she is currently experiencing. She remembered what she had gone through with her ex and could only feel grateful for having met Edward. She kept on admiring his features as he slept and couldn’t help but to admit how handsome he looked even as he slept.

She remembered how he had publicly declared his affection for her the night before, in the presence of everyone and couldn’t help but to giggle. She remembered Sophia’s facial expression as she had seen her at the club that night, although, Edward wasn’t aware of her presence. Ellie somehow felt happy with Sophia witnessing the whole incident because that was just the beginning of her revenge as she would cause so much pain for Sophia and her family, for hurting her mother.

In between her thought, Edward’s phone rang and the person that called was no other than Sophia. Ellie thought of picking the call to torture Sophia the more and then, she did.

‘Hello, Edward. Where are you? I called you all through the night but you never picked. Hope you are fine?’, Sophia asked from the receiving end, pretending she never witnessed the scene of the night before.

‘Hello, Sophia’, Ellie responded smiling.

‘Who is this and why are you with Edward’s phone?’, Sophia asked with anger visible in her voice.

‘I am sure you know who I am. You were at the club last night and you witnessed everything. Is there a need for you to ask me who I am again?’, Ellie asked with a smirk on her face.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

‘You know what, I do not have any interest in knowing you. Pass the phone to my husband’, Sophia said with a commanding tone.

‘Your husband? Well, your husband is here sleeping peacefully on my bed and you know what? We had a wonderful night all through. He kept murmuring my name in his dreams, telling me not to leave him. He kept on repeating how sweet and beautiful I am. Has he ever said that to you? Oh, my bad. Maybe Richard has told you that before,’ Ellie asked with a devilish smile on her face.

‘What the hell do you mean?’, Sophia asked stammering.

‘Stop playing dumb. I know you are having an affair with Richard and you have his baby growing in your belly.’, Ellie responded, keeping her voice as low as she could so, she wouldn’t wake Edward up.

‘Shut the crap and stop spilling nonsense. I am going to kill you when I lay my hands on you’, Sophia shouted.

‘I dare you, Sophia. This is just the beginning of your torment. I am going to frustrate the hell out of you’, Ellie responded laughing.

‘What the hell do you want? Why are you hell bent on destroying my marriage?’, Sophia asked getting frustrated.

‘Destroy your marriage? Your marriage started to crumble the day you started an affair with Richard. Your family messed with the wrong woman and her daughter is back to take revenge on her behalf. So, watch out’, Ellie responded hanging up on Sophia.

‘Hello………. Hello’, Sophia kept on saying expecting a response from the receiving end but she never got a response. When she realized Ellie had hung up on her, she angrily threw her phone away, feeling frustrated and not knowing what to do.

‘What should I do? What should I do? What should I do?’, Sophia kept up ranting while pacing up and down, trying to device a plan to separate Ellie and Edward.

‘I am fucking going to kill her. I need to call Richard. This is the time I need him the most’, she said, picking up her phone to call Richard but as she was about to dial his number, she remembered what she had witnessed at his place the previous night and this, added to the pain in her heart.

‘No, I need to figure this out on my own. Edward is the only option I have right now and I won’t allow that bitch take him away from me. I need to call someone for help. I cannot do this on my own. Who can I call?’, Sophia kept on biting her finger while pacing up and down, trying to figure out who to call apart from Richard.

Just at the last moment, she remembered the only person who would get her hands stained and do anything to put a smile on her face.

‘Hello, Mum. I need your help’, Sophia said, feeling relaxed that everything would be sorted out by her mum as she had always done.
