The Billionaire's Proposal

Jealous Much

"I get jealous, I get mad, I get worried, I get curious, that's only because I care." -Unknown

"Grandpa what are you doing here?" Questioned a confused Adrian as he moved closer to the man in a blue suit, his white hair combed to on side, and icy blue eyes staring at us intensely.

"I came to check up on my grandson," The man answered. "And ask him why the hell he took away my friend's company."

"Because he had a very good reason for doing it." I defend.

The white haired man turned his icy blue eyes to look at me with a questioning look.

"And who might you be?" He asked. "Another one of your mistresses, Adrian?"

Adrian's jaw clenched before answering, "She is not my mistress, Jane is my fiancé."

"Fiancé?" His grandpa seems taken aback by the sudden revelation.

"Yes, fiancé." Adrian replied. "Jane, she helped me change my mind about love and she's the woman for me and I want to spend the rest of my life with her."

Although I knew his words had no meaning to them they still made my heart skip a beat.

"When your father informed your grandmother and I that you were engaged we thought it was a joke, but it seems he was telling the truth," His grandpa answered. "It is nice to meet you, Jane."

I courteously gave him a hand shake and a genuine smile.

"You, too Mr. McKeller." I reply.

"How about we go inside and I will explain everything to you." Adrian suggests and his grandfather agrees.

Adrian interlocks our hands before leading us towards the living room where Rosalinda awaited with a pot of coffee.

"Would you like a cup of coffee?" Rosalinda asked and Mr. McKeller nodded.

"Thank you." He politely thanked before taking a sip from the cup. "So, Adrian care to explain why you took away the company from the Jacobs?"

"Damon had asked me to invest the company seeing as it was in great debt, I offered to help and invested asking for fifty percent of the company and to have a look at the earning rates." Adrian answers calmly. "Results, the ones that were stealing money from the company were Damon and his father."

Mr. McKeller was surprised by the sudden revelation. Trust me, I would have been too if I found out what my friend and his son were really like.

"Damon and his father were destroying Mr. Jacob's company and I knew how much Mr. Jacob cared for that company so I took it from them. I couldn't just stand back and watch them ruin Mr. Jacob's hard work." Adrian continues.

"I-I didn't know." His face showed how surprised he was now that his eyes had been open the solemn truth.

"Grandpa, I don't blame for defending them, they are your best friends son and grandson but they aren't who they pretend to be," Adrian replies. "Not only did they steal from the company but they were also unfair to their employees and they took advantage of them."

Adrian turns to look at me and he gently squeezes my hand that was still interlocked with his.

"I used to work for Jacob Corporations, I-I also used to date Damon. I did everything for them, I was the one who suggested they build a new resort in Maryland." I state grabbing Mr. McKeller's attention. "When his parents found out about us they told him to break up with me or else his fortune would be take away, and so he did what he was told. Not only was I heartbroken but Mr. Jacob's also made sure that I wouldn't get a job anywhere."
