LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

“I should be more careful next time” Fiona murmurs entering the mansion.

Smiles and Derrick were still sitting on the sofa, chattering about their life and everything.

“Mom, your back, come over here” Smiles call out, happy to see her mom after a long day.

Fiona frowned but didn’t ask, she wondered why Smiles seemed all happy today.

The biggest she’s ever done was welcome her with a hug and serve her a nice meal she’s prepared. It was quite strange to hear her call out to her. It is strange, in a good way.

“What’s up? You seem so happy today… ” Fiona’s words got stuck in her mouth when she spotted a certain someone, sitting on the sofa.

His amber blue eyes were enough to send her teary up, those eyes that stared back at her begging her not to leave.

“D-derrick?” She stutters, blinking away her tears.

Derrick was more than surprised to see his mom, “was this someone Smiles has been wanting him to meet?” He thought unable to infer.

“You are for real?” He asked, standing up from his seat.

Fiona walks to him slowly, she reaches out and touches his face. He is way more mature than she could have imagined.

“Yes, son… it’s real, so real” Fiona said in-between her sob.

Which mother will see her son after years of separation and not be happy, and not shed tears. It was a tear of joy.

Derrick yanks her into his arms, taking in her sweet scent. How much he misses his mom, how badly he has been calling himself unfortunate ’cause he never got to enjoy her love.

Here he is now, in the arms of the woman he’s always loved and remembered, in the arms of the woman who gave him life.

“I’ve missed you so much,” Derrick confesses, he didn’t cry for some reason but his excitement was above the limit.

“I’ve never stopped thinking about you, I’ve never stopped loving you” Fiona pulls away, stares into those beautiful eyes, “I’ve never stopped missing you, you’ve grown so big and mature” she hugs him again.

Derrick smiles at her compliment, “neither have you grown any less beautiful,” he said, smiling.

Seeing how the two hugged each other so lovingly, Smiles couldn’t help but smile. A happy family is all she’s ever wanted and maybe, just maybe life is starting to be fair to her.

“I think I should join, can’t stop my tears from falling and I’m cold” Smiles jokes, wiping away her tears.

Fiona extends her hands, Smiles holds them and joins them. It was a trisome hug, the moment was as beautiful as ever.

Fiona’s life right now was how she wished for it. Her children are in her arms, knowing they will take good care of her when she grows older and weaker and her grandchildren to run around the house.

After a long hug, they pull away. Each of them takes their seat Fiona, Derrick to the left, and Smiles to the right.

Their get-together time was short but memorable. Derrick stands up,

“Best to get going now, the company needs me more than ever. I’ve been away for two days and I’m sure things are left stagnant without me” Said Derrick, straightening up his dress.

“I will join you, we have a meeting in thirty minutes,” Smiles said, glancing at her wristwatch and picking up her bag.

“I’ve got nothing better to do than sitting at home babysitting my grandchildren,” Fiona chuckles.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She walks both her children outside and watches them leave.

While Derrick heads to the airport, Smiles drives directly to the hotel where she’s to have her meeting.

“Appointment with Mr. Frankie,” Smiles said to the girl at the counter, polite and nice

“room 506, floor three the third door to your right” The young lady informs.

” Thank you” Smiles turns and leaves. There was no need for walking and to make her journey easier, she took the elevator.

She arrived at the door and knocked three times, waiting for the person inside to respond.

It took a while, but the door finally opened. She enters the room.

“He will be out in a moment,” The hotel lady said and walked out of the room.

Smiles don’t know why but she could swear the hotel lady wrecks something nasty. “Maybe it’s her sweat,” she thought, brushing away her weirdness.

“You are here!” Smiles heard the voice of a certain someone, even without looking, she could swear it was Keane’s.

A frown appears on her face, “I’m here to see Mr. Frankie, not you where is he?” Smiles asked, voice cold and stern.

“You are staring at him,” Keane said nonetheless, he had only a towel wrapped around his waist as water dripped down his chest to his torso.

Smiles couldn’t believe her ears, she knew Keane would do just anything to get to talk with her but never in her second life did she think he would fake his Identity just for… she didn’t get the time to think as the hotel lady pops in her mind.

She finds herself boiling in anger over nothing, “you are so pathetic” she snorts and turns and leaves.

She tried to open the door but to no avail, the sound of her laughter erupted throughout the room.

“How do you feel doing this?” Asked Smiles, crossing her head over her chest.

“Amazing!” Keane runs his hands through his hair, he looks like a demigod, his perfect abs and the water droplets are enough to make a girl fall on her knees She smiles, but she doesn’t react. It was as if she was staring at nothing.

“Keane, let me go!” Demands Smiles, in a serious tone.

Keane shrugs, ” I don’t think I’m stopping you, am I? You’ve got free hands and legs.” He said nonchalantly.

Smiles grind on her teeth, he gets on her nerves with his blandness.” Calm down Smiles, don’t let him get to you” she comforts herself, taking in deep breaths.

“Keane Austin, can you please let me out of this godforsaken place!! “Smiles yells, she was slowly going crazy.

“That’s no best way to make someone do your bidding, ” Keane said and turned and left as if she wasn’t” I said please!” Smile didn’t know why he looked so carefree and even wanted to leave her standing. Is he really that cold?

“Not enough” Keane said but didn’t stop, he entered his room.

Smiles fumes in anger, “What do you fucking mean by not enough? I owe you nothing to be locked up in here” she yells stumping into the room he just entered.

“Talking about that, you owe me a lot. More than you can ever imagine” Keane pulled away his towel, not minding she was standing before her.

Smiles stood frozen to her spot, unable to look away. He looks so sexy, like a sex god.

A smile forms on Keane’s lips, he knows her better than she knows herself.

“You were saying?”He asked, he turned to her without a care in the world, his little brother was hard but he didn’t mind.

“You bastard!” Smiles yell, forcefully look away. Her stomach bubbles in excitement and anger. “You think I will pounce on you like a wild cat after seeing you naked? Fail plan” she snorts.

“Don’t forget Mrs Winston that you are in my room, without my permission, and per your word, I can as well do with you as I please” A smirk forms on his lips, “And why will I want you when I can get myself basically anyone?” He raises a brow

Smiles felt a sharp pain in her chest but she was quick to ignore it. She won’t lie, she is hurt by his words and this only clarifies one thing, something happened between him and the hotel service lady.

“Why are you doing this?” Smiles asked in a cracked voice.

“I should be asking you that not the other way round” Keane relaxingly takes gentle strides toward her.

“Go away,” Smiles said and walked out of the room.

Keane didn’t bother chasing her, he lay on his bed staring at nothing. He knows there is nowhere she can run to and there is absolutely no way she can call anyone. He specifically ordered the hotel to block all the signals.

Time flies without counting and before Keane could realize it, it was dusk outside.

He walks to his closet and gets himself dressed in a trouser and a loose T-shirt.

He steps out of his room, Smiles was lying on the sofa, wrapped up like a chick because of how freezy the living room was.

He totally forgot the AC was still on, he moved to the side and pushed a button not long after, the temperature started returning to normal.

Smiles could feel herself slowly getting warmer than before, she could swear she was freezing to death and it felt like she would die.

Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a certain sweet aroma, she found herself drooling all over, her stomach grumbling begging to be fed.

Following the smell, she was led to the kitchen. She hid by the door and peed, Keane was busily chopping vegetables.

This got her wondering how come he’s cooking vegetables ’cause the last thing she can remember is him being able to prepare scrambled eggs in the most delicious way ever…And she wonders where he got the recipe from.

She was so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t realize he was standing right before her.

“Need something?” Keane asked side lips up in a smile.

Smiles froze, staring up at him. “How the hell did he get here?” She wonders.

She let out a smile that wasn’t a smile, shy and embarrassed of being caught red-handed.

“No, nothing!” She said and walked away to the sofa. Her throat is dry and her stomach keeps on grumbling but she can’t help but pretend to be fine. There is absolutely no way she will let him know that she needs his help.

With a smile, Keane walks back into the kitchen and proceeds with his work.

An hour later, he comes out with two plates of vegetable soup and potatoes.

“Food is ready!” Keane informs, he takes his seat on the sofa, carries a mouth full of soup, and eats.

“I’m not eating!” Smiles act as if she doesn’t seem to care about food, but inside, she is dying to get a bite.

“Why is that?” Keane raises a brow. He knows very well she is acting, he can see it on her face, and she needs the food more than ever.

“I’m not hungry and mind you, I don’t want to eat your disgusting meal” She snorts.

It so happens that that disgusting meal is the same meal that keeps her salivating… ridiculous!

“Ok” Keane didn’t bother insisting, he quietly ate his food with no care in the world.

Smiles couldn’t stop growing
