Billionaire's Love

{20} Ghost

I hide in a cave near the beach, crying in anguish and betrayal.

There is so much pain and anger, I can't describe the hurt I'm feeling. Knowing that he is someone else, I realise that there is so much I don't know about him really. It's like my heart has been ripped out and torn in two. Then stomped on five hundred times.

Is this what it feels to be heartbroken? To feel so useless and played with? God, why did I ever let him in? Why didn't I just let Dad kill him? Everything would've been so much easier.

My thoughts swarm my mind like a bees and pesters me with memories of Coal and everything we've been through. My tears fall onto my clothes, leaving wet patches on the fabrics and stains on my cheeks. I furiously rub them away from my face, sick and tired of feeling hurt. But every time I close my eyes, I only see him and a fire rages inside me again to only them be put out when I remember his betrayal.

"Fucking idiot!" I shout and hear my voice echo throughout the cave. Pure pain clearly shown in my voice, my feelings a mess right now and so am I.

This is the reason I don't fall in love. He scared me more than I though, he makes me vulnerable and weak whenever I'm around him. My heart belonged to him and him only, no one can take away what's ours and that makes me afraid because so many can break what's ours, they can hurt him or even worse kill him. They can hurt him just to get to me.

Maybe if I never met him, I wouldn't be feeling like this but he was the one who taught me to love, how to trust. However he broke me too, there was too much between us, too much feelings and secrets. It could have been different, maybe we could have been in love if he never followed me that day. I was naive enough to believe that he would have given me something.

Every second, every hour was nothing. He never loved me and I can never love him.

Fall in love, I scoff loudly to myself.

A bunch of bullshit that is. He never actually liked me, he was using me to keep me away from finding him and the bloody Chip. Suddenly, I hear someone talking and my head perks up, searching for the owner of the voice. I stand up and carefully, quietly walk towards the voice. I don't go straight to the entrance of the cave instead I lean against the rocky walls, blending with the shadows whilst having a close eye on the figures that now have appeared.

"Throw it into the ocean." A husky voice orders. The smaller lanky figure flings a box into the shallow ocean, watching it for a few seconds before following the taller figure back to the vehicle.

I sit back for a while, waiting at least 30 seconds for their car to drive away from view, before heading into the water. I search and search until my foot hits something smooth and hard, pain sparking through my foot. I pick it up and clean the seaweed off the top, revealing a smooth wooden box, no lock or key. Trekking back to shore, I can't help but feel curious about what's inside while water drips off my clothing.

Carefully, opening the box, inside is stone. Sapphire to exact. However what catches my attention is what's inside the stone, a small thin black looking device or something. I see a smaller sapphire, that had broken from the larger piece, inside the box so using that I crack open the stone in the middle, the thin card falling into my hand.

"The Chip!" I whisper in shock.

Not caring that I'm making my car seat wet, I drive straight home, not paying attention to anything as Th Chip gently rests inside the box on the passenger seat beside me. When I drive up in front of my house, I jump out my car and rush into my house, water droplets leaving trails on the marble floor.

I get change into black jeggings and navy halter crop top, tying my hair into high ponytail. I slip on boot wedges and tuck my phone in my jeggings pocket.

"Miss, there is some who wants you." My butler says as he enters my room, placing a tray of food on my vanity while I fix up my makeup a little bit and tuck The Chip into my back pocket.

"Boy?" I ask, taking a bite into the sandwich.

"Yes." I wave him away and he turns to leave the room.

"Wait." I order and my butler turns around with a friendly smile. "Can you take the tray, please?"

"Yes, Miss." He takes the tray and leaves the room, my thoughts swarming my mind.

I head downstairs and watch the figure lean against the door. I was going to face him sooner or later, it just had to be sooner. I reluctantly open the door and he gives me a lopsided smile, running his fingers through his disheveled hair.

"You ran off." He says softly but I can sense a bit of hurt in his tone, so I push past him, still slightly annoyed with him still.

"Why are you here?" I retort. I open my Convertible BMW door, ready to leave him and this conversation, but Coal slams it shut, giving me a frown.

"Listen to me." I can't look at him, knowing tears will fall again if I do so my eyes look away but his. "I'm sorry, I was an idiot. I can't lose you please."

"I have the chip, Coal." I blurt out and he stares at me, shock covering his face. "I'm going after Dimitri, come with me or not?"

"At least take the bike." He suggests with a small smile.

"I hate the bike." I scoff and he smiles. My heart skips a beat when he smiled but when he notices that I'm not returning a smile back, it drops a little bit.

"I know."

I'm so so tired. I'm glad it's the weekend. What is everyone up to?
