The Unloved Billionaires And I

ARYA POV

Good thing it Saturday, the week went by so fast, “mama where are we going?” I heard my daughter ask, “oh, we are going shopping sweetie” and my friend wanted to see you. It was a girl’s shopping day. She looked at me and clapped her hands in excitement. Irene met us at the mall, I told you to avoid him, I tried but he gave me his card, he thought I didn’t have any clothes to wear and why did you bring Tobias with you? he wanted to come even though I sneaked out, I followed you, and you are very bad at sneaking Tobias answered back. “What are you doing here T,” I wanted to join you girls and I know there is a lot of gossip to share when it you girls, uncle T it for girls only she looked at him and then huffed, which got me smiling, you head the little girl, it for girls only, am not little mama, oops sorry my big girl.

I want to be here, you can’t send me out. He whined and stomped his foot like a child which made Isa giggle, “mama, uncle T want to come with us, please let him come? Uhm sure why not, and this is my friend Irene, hey there Arya’s baby, you are very beautiful, than you she replied shyly. Alright everyone let’s start shopping, after an hour we got home and I took out everything we bought “mama I want ice cream” she said yawning, I nodded at her and went inside, I saw Lucas sitting on the sofa reading a book, I took Isa to her room and she slept off but still demanding for ice cream in her sleep, I was still standing there when I felt a presence behind me, I knew it was Lucas, I felt his warm breath on my neck and his cologne hitting my nose making me stiffen

I hate this feeling when he was close to me, I was never like this, his gaze sent shiver to my spin, I looked down not wanting to stare at his eyes, my cheeks were so red, uhm i should go” I said stumbling and moving a little to give him space, I didn’t look at him, I went to take my bag I was having an evening shift today which start by 4:30, wait! I heard him say, I turned and he was looking at me, why don’t you eat before you go, he said coming closer. No… am not hungry, am late for work, I should leave I denied politely looking at my phone which showed I was going to be late for work if I didn’t leave now, I was quite hungry, my stomach grumbled which was embarrassing “come” he ignored me after hearing the sound and looked at me weirdly like I did something wrong but he didn’t say anything, he took his seat on the table but not before placing the food close to me.

I sat far away from him, eat Arya he said calmly making me look at him, I started eating in complete silence, I could feel the tension, we weren’t talking but I could feel him looking at me from time to time, why is he acting strange today, I didn’t look up, I kept my eyes on my food, I miss Isa she would have been talking this is fucking awkward, I wish she was here. Tobias, I really needed him right now, hey guys are you having dinner without me” I sigh thank god he is here on time, then we heard ear piercing thunder which scared me after a few minutes its started raining so hard, thank god I came home early before it rained Tobias said while munching on my food when he tried to put his hand to take Lucas pizza he hit his hand away, ouch that hurt Lucas and since when did you start eating pizza, I am not required to answer your silly questions Tobias.

I went toward the window and looked outside, I sigh, I can’t go back to work again, if you want to go, I can tell my driver to drop you off, go where T asked still putting lots of pizza in his mouth, to work, oh no need the boss asked us to close early, wait you guys work together, yes we both answered. “How come I did not know about it, my bodyguard did not inform me that you worked together.”

“Wait you sent someone to watch me?” I just want you to be safe. “safe my ass, don’t you ever do that again Lucas, I hate it.” I looked back at the rain, I was lost in the smell, the drops, unknowingly I went outside in the rain enjoying the water falling from the sky, the rain reminded me of the day I lost my parents

“What’s the matter dear?” mom, it’s my birthday and you didn’t get me a gift, last year you didn’t and now you are doing the same thing. We are busy dear, I heard my dad honking his car for my mother to get in, they were going for an important meeting again and it was raining heavily, “why can’t you stay behind? the roads would be blocked mom, it is raining heavily, don’t go.” Honey we have to, the money is for your brother’s medication and I promise to get you a gift when I get back, I love you, and please watch over your brother, she ran out and got into the car, they waved and drove off, which I returned, I turned back and noticed my brother running in the rain “hey sis, look at me am running, come back here, mom said I shouldn’t let you out, he kept laughing and running faster not noticing the car coming with speed until it hit him, I stood there, shivering before I went closer, I shook him I cried and yelled for help, later I found out my parents got into an accident and they didn’t make it, my brother, due to the accident, he couldn’t walk again. If only they had listened to me and not left the house, if only I tried harder to stop them from leaving, I would have still had my parents and my brother would still be walking.

“Arya are you okay?” I heard someone ask which brought me back from my dark memories uhm I asked looking at him getting confused. Hey, are you crying? He asked with concern in his face which made me realize that I was crying again, I didn’t say anything and just looked away, I heard him sigh and then grabbed my hand, he dragged me gently towards the door, he was also soaked in water, his hair, shirt was cling on him, I looked at my clothes and noticed the same, did he see me like this? My breasts were showing a little, I hated wearing bras, my face flushed with embarrassment I didn’t realize when we reached inside, not until Tobias gave me a towel to clean myself. I heard him sneeze but didn’t care. I never asked him to follow me.

Dude, “you know how sick you get whenever it rained,” he didn’t answer Tobias who huffed when he was ignored, I dried myself shivering a little, I went inside my room and got changed, I came back and he was still in his wet clothes which made me worried, Lucas please go change or you may catch a cold, oh, he will definitely get a cold Tobias replied. He nodded and went inside to change, you are taking care of him tomorrow, what. why? “Dude is too soft, he will get sick tomorrow,” I sigh, no he will not, just watch and see then.

“Mama wake” up, Isa kept poking my cheek which disturbed my sleep, I slowly opened my eyes while adjusting to the sunlight and saw Tobias and Isa on my bed. I looked at them in confusion, I sat up and looked around, “God! You are a heavy sleeper Arya” am not I was just so tired I answered smiling at them sheepishly. Good morning mama, morning to you too baby I kissed her cheeks while getting up.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Mama, can you bathe me today?” Sure, why not, this is the first time she asked me to bathe her. You don’t need to ask permission from Lucas to bathe her, you are her mother, he stood up and walked toward the door and went out. I picked her up in my arms, she nuzzled her face in my neck, I kissed her forehead and headed into the bathroom to bathe her. After bathing, she chose her clothes and I brushed her hair and made two ponytails, I smiled at my work and kissed her cheeks, I told her to wait for me while I hurriedly went inside and took my bath, we went out of my room only for me to hear sneezing coming from Lucas room, I opened the door and saw him lying on his bed, covered with clothes, he was shivering, he must have caught a cold, I looked towards Tobias whose eyes said I told you so, mama is papa sick? Yes honey, your father caught a cold but he will be okay in a few hours. I felt guilty because it was my fault, he was like this.
