TRADING MY CHEATING EX FOR HIS BILLIONAIRE BOSS

LEON

The feeling I had after being with her could not be contained. The attraction I felt towards her. I didn't want to acknowledge it, but it kept ringing inside, unavoidably.

“Could she be the one, the real deal??” I asked myself as I stared into her naive, yet beautiful eyes. The moment was however interrupted by a message notification from my uncle.

“What does he want from me this early morning?”

Each time I saw him or his call, my heart performed a break dance, not like I'm afraid of him but I'm afraid of what he can do. Since he returned, he wouldn't spare a chance to cause difficulties for me. He treats this attitude like a well-paying job.

“I saw you being led away from the club yesterday to the lodge upstairs by a strange woman. Since then you haven't returned.”

His message read.

I furrowed my brows, twisting my lips in disgust. “Who's that?” The curious Anissa who was still on the bed asked but I remained silent, my mind calculating what to tell him.

“Have you forgotten that you have a fiancee? Will you say it's your girlfriend now?” He dropped a mocking emoji.

I balled my fist, pushing up a very tight frown on my face. “What's the meaning of all these?” I challenged him, then waited for his response.

“Ooh, wow. You're asking me what I mean? Don't worry, until you see yourself on the headlines and your videos going in with her all over the internet for a scandal, you wouldn't know why.”

“Is this supposed to be a threat or something?” I pressed a voice note so he could hear my serious tone. I wasn't playing with him either.

“Since you dare to challenge me, you'll find a video of you two on the internet today.”

“Be prepared to post your trash because I'll be introducing her as my new bodyguard today as well.” This became my next smart move. Only an escort could lead me into my lodge, accompany me everywhere and of recent, female escorts have become increasingly popular just that Anissa isn't trained but who would detect it right away?

This was the only way to silence him. “Anissa, you have to do this,” I pleaded with her. “From now on, can you assume this work, I'll pay you handsomely. You don't need to pay me as your call boy as you intended to.” I stressed.

“You really don't have to return to that cheat, I will help you process a divorce, from there I'll punish him.” Glad my uncle decided to bring on this threat, I have more reasons to keep her to myself.

“I don't want to let you go,” I grabbed her hand, looking into her eyes. Something was building up inside me for her, some tender feeling. I couldn't really comprehend but I could tell it was real. At the moment, I no longer saw her as Davis’ wife but his ex, since he didn't know the value of such a woman.

Anissa stared at me, blushing. Something told me from her eyes that she was feeling the same for me too. It was mutual.

“Anissa, perhaps you're my soulmate. I haven't felt a strong bond with any girl I slept with in the past, not even with the girl living with me.”

I watch her flip her eyelashes several times, then send a questionable look. She's jealous at the mention of another girl. “Yes,” I nodded. I had to be plain with her.

Merely mentioning this, I saw her facial features change. Her eyes darkened, her breath which I could detect became heavier and her lips quivered. It was all strange, was she feeling the same way like me.

“So now you're taking me for?” She demanded to know.

“Is it a big deal?” I responded to her question with a question. “You wanted to walk right away after we fucked but I can't let you go, first, because I want you and second, to protect my information. I want you to myself. Can we start off as boss and escort after you divorce that man?”

Her face twisted, it was if she was going to refuse, I quickly brought in this. “Do you know my uncle, he's my greatest enemy ever and wants my downfall. Do you think he's joking when he said he'll post us on the internet?”

She shrieked, I nodded. The trick worked. It was real no doubt.

“Yes, he just messaged about seeing me with a strange woman, he would use this as a scandal against me if I don't do something and that's hiring you as my escort.”

Anissa flinched her face, looking through the window briefly before returning back to face me. “Can I do that?”

“What do you mean?” I got confused.

“I mean, do you really see me as capable of protecting you?”

“Hmm,” I sighed, lowering my gaze to the floor. I raised my face soon after. “You think I need protection? Did you go for training to protect me? I just need your companionship.” I got to disarm her with these questions before settling for what I wanted such that she couldn't say a word. Her silence got interpreted that she accepted it.

“So you will start your first job this evening.”

She jerked up, staring at me sternly. “So I'll always accompany you wherever you go?”

“Yes, that will be your job, baby.” I grinned, watching her reaction. She smiled, glancing down before looking up with a sigh.

“Hmm.”

We left the lodge that morning and were heading to my estate. I called my driver to come pick us up. The ride was silent as Anissa looked towards the side of her seat, she was glaring outside. While in the car, my eyes were focused in front but I wasn't seeing anything, I was lost in thought.

Last night, I went out with my close friends to have fun at the luxury club. How I got drugged and became horny was a mystery. What was their real intention in doing this to me? Then Robert said he saw me, he must have placed a spy or was there himself.

This could all be a set up.

I'll first drop Anissa at the estate and then go after those enemies of friends, they must have been sponsored by Robert but somehow, Anissa saved me. It's obvious they clearly wanted to disgrace me.

Turning over to Anissa, I tapped on her lap and she turned. “What should I do to those friends who betrayed me last night.”

“Get them arrested and locked up in jail,” she snapped, turning away again.

“What's it with the frown?” I got curious even though I managed to guess.

“What will I become in your life when you already have a fiancee? I'm not clingy but I don't think staying with you is a good idea. I don't really have a future with you aside from being an escort and I don't want to be labeled a fiance snatcher.”

“Anissa,” I addressed her. “You have a future with your husband or you want to return to him?” I asked her. “You can just tell me, I wouldn't force you to stay with me.”

To this, her face twisted with jealousy. I knew her problem. It's Mira.

She shrugged her shoulders. “I'm already out of his life, I want nothing to do with him again.” She said with all seriousness, then grabbed my wrist, relaxing her head on my chest. “Maybe I want you but you have someone already.”

“And I wanted her too.”

Upon hearing this, a brief smile lit up her lips.

We arrived at the estate in no time, Mira turned out to welcome me as usual when my car drove into the residence. My heart thumped because this time around, it was gonna be different. I'm back with another girl.

“I was worried why you didn't come back at night and you weren't picking my calls?”

I wasn't prepared to answer this, my palm sweated. “I–”

“Well, I was drugged by friends, she took care of me.” I turned, pointing towards Anissa, the exact time she pulled out of the car.

Mira slowly turned with aggression towards Anissa. “What did you do for him?” Her eyes darkened with jealousy.

It was a dilemma for me, I wasn't prepared for this.

“I took care of him throughout the night.” Anissa’s response came with full confidence. I wondered what I was going to do when Mira exploded.

“I guess your job is done right, why follow him back home? So I can greet you?”

Anissa let out a slight chuckle, not saying a word. I took over. “She's my new escort, I've found her skill useful. I've seen unique skills in her which I haven't seen in any of my bodyguards.” I lied.

Mira smirked, clapping her hands. “So you've finally found a replacement for me?” She didn't even say more when she started crying. “Over my dead body, you wouldn't go any close to my man.”

Hmm.

“But you want me to marry you, right?” She nodded. “But you don't want to have kids with me saying you're a model and don't want your body to drop. How can I cope with that?”

Mira’s face grew pale while Anissa’s jaw dropped. She now realized why I wanted her. I loved Mira and my family loves her but this decision of hers is one I think I can't cope with. Perhaps my heart was looking for her replacement before letting her know my mind.

Besides this, if Anissa doesn't become my escort, how will I keep myself safe from my uncle who will post about our meeting last night or even go the extra mile of finding her to get more information?

At the same time, I couldn't open up and let Mira know what happened between I and Anissa, the case will worsen. My anger channeled totally towards those evil friends I went out together with yesterday.

Before I return to this case, I have to find them and know their real intentions.
