The Billionaire's Wanted✔[#1 Xerxes Kings]

Bhapter 20: Blackmailed?

ARIELA'S POV

My brother's words leave me in shock. Has Xerxes gone mad? And when?

"The entire land, he bought it. We moved to Aunt Diane's apartment along with important papers and your phone. We were told that every property on that land including our house will be wrecked soon." He said, bursting my uncalled anger all of a sudden.

"I'll talk to Xerxes Kings," I calmly declared, thinking of Xerxes' face made me want to go berserk on him.

"Xerxes Kings huh? Big sis, are you forgetting that he's one of the most powerful men on the continent? Stay away from him!" Rafael exclaimed on the other line, his voice rising for a bit.

I know Raf. I'll tell you when the time comes. I'm sure you want to go back to jail than see me carrying Xerxes child.

"Don't worry. Trust me. I have connections too, remember?" I keep my voice normal though my heart is pacing. I hope he believes me.

"But Big sis, Mr. Kings is more powerful than you will ever think! I regret the day I end up taking away his wife and daughter's life but I don't want us to get involved with it anymore! He must've forgiven me for what I did so I'm out of jail." His voice is shaking in worry.

If you just know Rafael, it's my doing.

"I checked his background last time. After losing his wife and only daughter, he wanted to look for a suitable woman to give him an heir to take after their family business." He started. "The girl he took to his house a few months ago must be pregnant now, according to rumors."

Rafael listen to rumors now? I can't believe him.

"And who's the girl?" I asked. Either he knows or just rumors he heard about.

"Who knows? Everyone is talking about it but Xerxes Kings kept it in private. I'm interested to know because he finally released me from jail." He replied, making my throat dry out.

I, well, can say that girl must be me.

"Big sis, take care of yourself. Come visit us when you have time okay?" He lovingly stated as I nod to him.

"Sure, Raf. I'll be there later. Wait for me." I lastly stated, cutting the call and gave it back to the driver after murmuring my thanks to him.

"Let's head back."

Xerxes, you have a lot of explaining to do.

The sky is so blue and peaceful like the ocean under it as well as the house I'm going in. Storming inside the house, I found no one.

"Xerxes Kings!?" I yelled that echoed on the white painted walls across the house. No one replied, irritating me.

"Hey, why are you yelling?" Honey asked calmly while descending the staircase. She's still that beautiful blonde wearing a cream dress this time.

"That Xerxes, where is that a*shole?" I asked, raising one of my eyebrows. She laughs and smiles at me.

"He has a meeting for this hour in his office. He went running not so long ago." She replied, making her way towards the kitchen. "Join me for lunch?" She offered.

"No thank you," I replied with a tiny smile and change on my clothes quickly to hide my bump. That damn Xerxes, he knows when to make trouble with a pregnant woman. How dare he buy someone's property and wreck them afterward?

Not for long, I got back in the car. The driver is still there waiting.

"Let's go to the Kings' office. I'm taking a visit to your boss." I told him, driving me without hesitation towards my desired destination.

I spot the mansion not so far. The place didn't change a bit. It's still just like before when I come begging him to get my brother out of prison.

Upon reaching the tall building, I am met by that kindhearted guard last time who gave me his invitation. He smiled at me, tipping his hat, and welcomes me inside the reception. I smiled back at him and walks my way.

"Ma'am, wait!" I can hear the clicking heels of the receptionist on the floor after passing her spot. She must have referred to me when her fingers touched my shoulders, stopping me.

"It's okay Miss. Mrs. Kings has to go." The kindhearted guard told her.

"Mrs. what?" The receptionist asked, turning to him as if she misheard him.

"Future Mrs. Kings." The kindhearted guard replied. I can hear the receptionist swallow before going back to her place, muttering an apology.

Being called Mrs. Kings gives me chills but warming at the same time.

"Babe?" That voice.

Turning my head in the direction of the voice, I spotted him in his blue Armani suit. He is so handsome with his hair gelled rightfully on their places, shining across the room with his glory that everyone can see he's the boss.

I don't care about every eye that lands on him as I march in his direction. That smug smile breaks his glorious face, walking towards me so cool as if he owns everything around him. My hand quickly landed on his cheek after reaching him.

Multiple gasps echoed inside the room from the reception and office areas. Their eyes were asking me who I was to humiliate their respected boss in his property but I don't care.

"What was that for, babe?" He asked with frowned eyebrows, rubbing his wedding cheek.

That's it, I'm going to make a scene here.
"How dare take away my house and the land? You assho-" Before I could swear to him, he covered my mouth with his. Louder gasps echoed in the room also, soft pair of red lips were devouring my swollen lips. My damn traitorous body wants more of him.

I couldn't contain my belly, warming in happiness but I'm showered with embarrassment with lots of audiences watching us. I love the taste of his lips until he pulled away.

"Too much audience might ruin the moment. Shall we continue in my office?" he whispered, silencing me. His kisses made me forgot why I'm here.

My face turned red in embarrassment. There are lots of paparazzi around, taking a picture and even a video. I quickly hid my face though it is already late. My face will soon be posted on the front pages of newspapers tomorrow, mingling with a billionaire.

"Who is she, Mr. Kings?"
"What is she to you?"
"Is she the girl you're having contact with?"
"Why kiss her in front of many people?"

I buried my face on Xerxes' chest, avoiding the flashes of cameras from the gate and other workers. Lots of queries were asked to Xerxes and I don't want to be involved with them.

"Have you got over your deceased wife?"
"Are you engaged?"
"Why is it that she's here with you?"

I don't feel easy now. I want to barf at the moment but I covered my mouth with both of my hands.

He must have noticed me uneasy. He quickly hugged me and pulled me towards the elevator. We left the annoying paparazzi, stopped by the guards. He punches in the numbers, moving the elevator towards his office, I think.

"You finally found out about it. Now that your house is no longer yours, you have no choice but to live with me." He said, pulling me shamelessly to him since we're alone in the elevator.

"Jerk! You just don't know what that house means to me!" I yelled at him. "Are you trying to blackmail me now?"

"You keep swearing at me. Come here." He said, pinning me on the wall, lifting one of my legs to his waist, and kissing me senselessly.
