Billionaire’s Lost Angel

Lotus’s P. O. V

I drove to the construction site after dropping the kids off at school. When I arrived, Stanley was already there. He quickly handed me a construction cap. We went to the site and supervised their work for about an hour before finishing all of ours. So I said my goodbyes to the engineers and walked back to my car. When I got to my car, I noticed George standing in front of it. I had just walked past him and was about to open the door when he approached.

“Could we please talk, Lotus?” He asked me like a gentleman.

“Mr. Jackson, there is nothing we can talk about. Please excuse me as I am running late.” I said to him politely cause I don’t want any trouble in my work place. I then unlocked my car door but he came in front of me blocking the car door.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Lotus, just give me fifteen minutes for old time’s sake.” He pleaded but I knew very well all these were a mere drama for my concentration.

“George, get out of my way right now,” I said a little bit irritated by his stubbornness.

I was about to return to the site to find Stanley when he grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

“I won’t let you go, Lotus until you listen to me.” I know how obstinate he can be. When we were in school, he would always use these tricks to get me to do whatever he wanted. I used to like this side of him a lot, but now I’m disgusted. I took a look around. This parking lot is empty. There is no one present. If I shout, no one will hear me. As a result, I resolved to act wisely.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you, but not right here. There is a cafe outside the gate where we can talk.” I told to him.

“All right, let’s go in my car.” He offered but I won’t accept his offer.

“There is no need for a vehicle. Let’s go for a walk since it’s only two minutes away.” I said this, and he let go of my hand. While walking in front of him, I quickly sent my location to my bodyguards, who were waiting outside the school’s gate to look after my kids. I’m sure they realized something was wrong with me by now and knew what they should do. As we entered the cafe, I chose a seat in the middle of the room so that George couldn’t do anything to me. He ordered two cups of coffee for us and began talking.

“Lotus, I was a fool because I couldn’t see the truth. It was all Lilly’s fault; she had been obsessed with me from the start. She was the first to seduce me. I know I was wrong, but Lilly also deceived me. I loved and admired you. She was just a distraction for me. After learning the truth, I divorced her right away. So, can we restart everything?”

I was patiently waiting for my bodyguards while he was blabbering. I motioned for them to wait for my signal as soon as I saw them inside the cafe.

“George, you were a jerk before and you continue to be a jerk. And I’ll never consider spending my life with a jerk like you.” I got up from my chair after saying that.

George tried to stop me, but my bodyguards quickly stopped him.

“Never try to touch me or come in front of me again. I’m going to call the cops next. You being a soldier would not have helped you at that time. Please keep that in mind.” claiming I left the cage with my bodyguards When I came out, I noticed Stanley standing there, tense. He approached me with a water bottle as soon as he saw me. He worriedly asked me after he had given me water.

“Are you okay, Ma’am? Should I reschedule my meeting with Mr. Robinson?”

“Stan, I’m fine. Let’s head to the meeting.” I told him and got inside the car. Stanley also got inside the passenger seat with the driver. The guards were following us in another car. After getting in the car I thought I should increase the security of my family. So I asked Stanley for more guards.

“Stanley hires more bodyguards for the children. And don’t forget to make sure they are reliable.”

“Yes, ma’am it will be done by tomorrow. Anything else?” he said while looking back at me.

“Stanley please make sure no one can come near to my children,” I ordered and he nodded. The rest of the journey was peaceful.

After thirty minutes we reached the Robinson group. I’d never been to the Robinson group before, but when I got out of the car, I was taken aback. The building I’m buying for my office and the Robinson Group’s building were both in the same location, standing side by side. When I realized this, I let out a chuckle. Peter didn’t tell me yesterday that we’d be neighbors at work as well. We entered the office. The guards were not permitted to enter the CEO’s office, so they waited for me in the lounge while Stanley and I went inside the elevator with the receptionist. The receptionist dialed 40 as our destination. We were soon there. On that floor, Peter’s Assistant Tom greeted us, and the receptionist departed.

Tom escorted us away to the CEO’s office. Where Peter was waiting for us with a lawyer. We sat on his office couch and talked about the deal before both Peter and I signed the document. After we signed, the lawyer said good-by. He stated that he will contact me once the registration is completed.

“Could you please take Stanley to our cafeteria for lunch, Tom? Miss Kent and I will be discussing a personal matter.” Peter said to Tom out of blue.

Stanley looked at me for confirmation, and I nodded, so they both left, leaving just Peter and me.

“I’d like to show something to you,” Peter said this and pressed a button on his table, a curtain from his left opened revealing a glass window. From this window, I can see my new office. I moved closer to the large French window and turned to face Peter.

“Was this your surprise?” I asked him raising a brow. He just nodded with a smile. I would be lying if I say that his smile doesn’t affect me.

“Yes, we are now working neighbors, and you can see me whenever you are bored.” He said with a wink.

I couldn’t help but laugh at his naiveté.

“You know, you sometimes act like a baby,” I asked him.

“I know, but it’s time to pick up our babies from school,” Peter explained.

I looked at my watch, and it was time to pick them up from school. But did he just say our baby? I ignored the question in my head. I must be over thinking.

“I’d like to take you and the kids out to lunch. It’s my special treat. You already know that I made a lot of money today from a beautiful businesswoman.” Peter said when I was going out of his office. So he just wants to go with me to pick James and Jenny.

“Let’s get going or we’ll be late,” I told him and opened the door of his office.

Before leaving the office with Andrew I instructed Stanley to handle the shifting and interior designing of the new office. Then we boarded the elevator.

“May I ask you a question, Lotus?” Peter asked as soon as the elevator door closed.

“You certainly can,” I replied to him without thinking much, cause I always feel safe around him.

“Would you accept a proposal from a handsome billionaire to be his wife?” He asked making me off guard. It took me a few seconds to respond to him.

“It depends on how attractive he is and whether he is richer than me,” I said to him just like a joke.

“He is so attractive that you can’t help but approach him.” He said with so much confidence that made me weak for a moment.

“Is that true? Then p-prove it.” I said to him stuttering.

When I said this, he pressed his lips against mine. No one used this elevator because it was only for the CEO. For a brief moment, I was stunned, but his soft lips soon melted into mine, and I kissed him back. We kissed until we got to the first floor. I firmly pushed him after realizing we were already on the first floor. My guards rushed to me as soon as I stepped out of the elevator. Peter frowned slightly as he noticed four large bodyguards.

“Did something happen recently? What’s up with the bodyguards?” Andrew asked me.

“There’s nothing happened that I can’t handle,” I replied to him with a sweet smile. I didn’t want to tell him about George.

“Are the children safe? Have you sent any bodyguards to them? If not, I can send mine to assist.” He said with a panicked voice. Seeing him worried about my children made my heart warm.

“It’s all right, Peter. There was no intervention. Someone was bothering me.” I explained to him.

“How come you didn’t tell me earlier?” He asked me knitting his brows. He was looking cute. I couldn’t help but chuckle at his question.

“Because you harassed me just a few minutes ago. I should inform my bodyguards about you.” I asked him with a mocking smile. He came close to me and bent his head.

“How can it be harassing if you enjoyed it as well?” he whispered in my ear. Making me blush in embarrassment.

“Who said I didn’t enjoy it?” I tried to deny it.

“That was said by your eyes. You’re aware that your eyes are very expressive.” He said while looking at my eyes making me blush more.

“I didn’t realize that.” I only managed to say that then went outside the building. Our cars were waiting in front of the entrance.

As soon as I went out of the building someone slapped me hard on my face. I looked at the person who was now struggling with my bodyguards. Seeing her face made my blood boil in anger.

“Lilly, have you lost your mind? Or do you need my help to bring back your senses?” I yelled at her in a cold voice.

Lilly’s P. O. V

I was sitting in my room with our wedding album. I was seeing our wedding photos when my phone rang. It was Kiara my best friend so I received the call.

“Hello, Kiara, how are you doing?” I asked her hiding the sadness of my voice.

“I’m all right. But you didn’t tell me Lotus was back in town?” She asked me. Hearing Lotus’s name made me pissed but I tried to stay calm.

“Yes, she returned a few days ago. Why are you asking if you’ve met her?” I asked her the details. But her answer made my blood boil in anger.

“I never met with her. I saw her enter a cafe with George. What exactly is George doing with her? Is he still in love with her?” She said with a serious tone.

“Are you certain that you saw George with her?” I wanted to make sure she was wrong.

“I am certain.” When she said that I didn’t wait longer and hung up the call.

I ended the call after listening to her and called another friend who works in a telecom company.

“Andy, could you please tell me where I can find a specific phone number? It’s extremely important.” I pleaded to her.

“All right, send me the number. I am sending the location to you within two minutes.” She said.

After five minutes of sending her Lotus’s number, she sent me the location. I quickly put on my coat and drove to that location. After reaching the location I realized that it was an office building. I wanted to go inside but the guards didn’t allow me so I waited for her in front of the entrance.

As soon as I saw her coming out from the gate I rushed toward her and slapped her hard on the face. In a second of slapping her, I was surrounded by four big men in a black suit. When she realized it was me who slapped her she yelled at me.

“Lilly, have you lost your mind?”

I wanted to slap her again but those men were holding me. I saw a handsome man was protectively holding her. The office staffs were also watching us. I thought it was the best time to spoil her good girl image

“You deserve that slap for stealing my husband you bloody bitch.” I said and heard a lot of gasps from the crowd. I gave a winning smile. My plan id working.
