The Idiotic Billionaire ✔ (Completed)

Chapter 5 - Human

“Will you wait and let’s talk about this!” Shawn calls out after Neriah as she storms out of Cecilia's house without an utterance of a word.

She stops and turns to him, her eyes blazing and red all at the same time. Shawn has never since he started dating her seen this side of her, but more than anything, he wants to comfort her, wrap his arms around her and tell her everything is okay, but he knows her enough to know, that would be the last thing she’d want.

There was something in comfort hugs that didn’t sit well with her. Shawn has argued about their effective power, but she laughed it off in the past and said she’d rather not get one when on a rollercoaster of emotions.

“What else is there to talk about? It’s no coincidence that the buyer of the house I live in is Cainan Inferno. The same Cainan Inferno that bought and kicked me out of the previous house I was in and let’s not forget that he’s the same person I confronted seven weeks ago and called an idiotic billionaire.” She was ramping, but she cannot help it. She felt the walls closing in and the migraine increasing.

He signs deeply, “I get what you’re getting at, but you need to give yourself a break and rethink the right thing to do. You still have a week to get things together and I promise you I’ll be here for you.”

“If he’s planning on getting back at me, he has succeeded because he’s kicked me out of yet another house. And I can’t fight back because I’m weak and not strong enough to take him on.” Tears run down her face and she angrily brushes them off.

“Neriah....” Shawn says but stops halfway through because he just cannot find the right thing to say to ease the tension present in the situation, nor can he hold her.

She looks up at him with desperate eyes, “I need to see him again Shawn, I need to talk to him, ask him why he’s doing this to me and I cannot rest until I have spoken to him.”

Shawn shakes his head in disapproval. “Take it from someone who’s worked for Cainan for three years. It’s best to not do that.”

“Then what do I do? I can’t sit and do nothing when I know that won’t help either.”

“If Cainan is out to frustrate you, believe me, nothing is going to stop him, he wasn’t born Cainan Inferno, if you’ve done enough research on him, he was born Cainan Michael Day, he changed it to Inferno after the international success of his company. The Inferno stand to warn people that if they cross his path, they will be burnt and he’s taken it upon himself the past years that I’ve known him to ruin anyone that has crossed his path.” He explains to her in detail what he’s heard, seen and witnessed to be true.

“And that’s what he’s going to do to me.” She whimpers and bites her trembling lips.

Shawn’s eyes drop and he nods, already knowing the answer to her question, “You were right, we are going to go talk to him.”

“We?” Neriah asks, with her brow rising, wanting to hear Shawn’s reply.

“I’ve many times that two is better than one. I told you about those who crossed his path, but there’s something they all had in common.”

She asks eagerly, “What was it?”

“They never crossed his path the second time and we are going to do just that. We are going to speak to him and settle things once and for all.”

Neriah kisses Shawn and surprises herself by smiling at him through her pain. She doesn’t know how she got so lucky with him, but she’s grateful. “When are we going then?”

He makes a hand gesture of looking at his watch. “Today. Hugo and Clara are having their fifth wedding anniversary today.”

She frowns at him a little. “I’m sorry, but how does that have anything to do with us going to see Cainan?”
