From being poor to the billionaire's wife

Chapter 6

Elizabeth P.O.V

After changing into Abby's pajamas i went down to the sitting room area to find Abby and Mr. Handsome talk in a deep conversation but from Abby's face i could tell how annoyed she was as i got closer i only heard part of the discussion 

" i mean..... to convince your grandmother would be difficult , not to mention the acting would have to be perfect and believable....." Abby trailed off hearing my footsteps i sat down next to her 

"Is everything okay?" i asked looking only at Abby because i couldn't face that jerk, something about his words really upset me "Maya....Brent's grandmother is coming over " she looked at Mr. Handsome and then took a deep breath and turned to me 

"Brent here is one of my childhood best friends, our parents have been in business for years... Brent and i have been so close that we see each others like siblings since both of us are the only children to our parents, When we need advice or help we always turn to each other and today he needs my help but i don't know how to exactly help, maybe you could hear it out and help us?" Abby looked at me with hope and i just nodded because i had no idea what to reply

 i looked at Mr. Handsome who i now know as Brent he sighed "My grandmother has some properties, Shares of the business, yachts and my private jets that she was to pass to me but ever since my father decided to hand over the business to me my grandmother said i need to prove it to her that i am worth everything and will not take the family into ruin........ my father talked to her that i handle the business better him but she wasn't talking about the business, she was talking about my past women flings" he sighed

 " the lands are part of the business and its very important that we get the properties on my name if not..... it will go to my dads cousin who is very cunning  and getting the properties on his name will be very hard for us to get back" he groaned rubbing his face 

"what do you suggest on doing?" i asked Abby curiously "i told him if he knows someone who will act to be his girlfriend and impresses the grandmother and try to convince her that he has settled his ways but convincing her will be very difficult " she said shrugging 

we all stayed quiet for a bit "i got an idea...." as Brent trailed as the bell rang "oh shit my grandmother is here" Brent looked worriedly towards Abby 

"Brent dear where are you?" i heard the grandmother wait..... hold on..... is that?....... 

"Ma'am?" i stood wide eyed facing Sara.

Sara froze looking at me surprised  "Liza?" i walked over to her and hugged her 'yes we do hug, she is the closest thing i have to a family and Abby too'

"oh, dear what a surprise to find you here?" she questioned i looked over to Abby and Brent's surprised faces "yes.... i am...." i was rudely cut off by Brent

" she is the surprise i wanted you to meet grandmother.....uhhh....  Lizz and i have been dating for a while now" Brent sat next to me and put his arm around me kissing my cheek i was shocked at first but played along when Abby gave me a surprised look, 

i smiled and turned to Sara "oh.... my... Liza you hid this from me? how did you know Brent is my grandson?" she hugged me happily "i didn't....." i said in the hug  i looked at Abby wide eyed and she just gave an awkward thumbs up after she pulled away from the hug she said "i brought some dinner and the workers are setting the table up i will go see if they set it how i want" 

once she left i turned to Brent "what the actual hell?" i whispered "look we will talk about this in private okay?" he pushed passed me making me shocked "this is your friend?" i questioned Abby "sorry" she hugged me pulling me to the table 

oh lord.... i hope this goes well because i am getting a terrible feeling at the pitch of my stomach
