Billionaire's Love

Chapter 18

Alissa

When we reached back to our company, neither he made an effort to talk to me neither I tried to make an effort to get his attention or to talk to him. The rest of the day went in a blur. When I reached home, I saw Jade roaming here and there in the house. The house was looking a bit messy. The only thing which was looking clean was the dining table. Jade has her room still she is pacing around mine. There are only a few moments when we both sleep together.

The last time I remember I slept with her was the night before I got the news that I got my job. She is looking like she is searching for something. I did not make an effort to ask her what was the thing she was looking for cause she will not answer me until she will completely lose the hope of getting it. I suddenly started to think about how Eric behaves sometimes. He gets possessive or sometimes he becomes like he hates me and suddenly become a caring person. He looks handsome, he has got a nice personality but he is just a playboy and for him, it is as much easy to get a girl as it is to throw a mug of coffee on the ground.

Jade was huffing, and sweat could be clearly seen on her forehead. She sat beside me and groaned in annoyance. I looked at her, a frown was visible on her forehead. I thought to ask her now what was it that she was looking for.

"Hey Jade, what happened, what are you looking for?" I asked.

"It was a necklace, with a heart on it. I had the photo of me and you inside of it and I cannot find it" She cried out.

"I can help you in finding it" I said.

"Really?" She asked.

I nodded and she gave me a huge smile.

"Have you checked in your room?" I asked knowing how careless she is.

She nodded. I stood up and went to her room and searched everywhere. I went to my room and Jade also thought to help me. Our rooms are quite big and nice. Cause our cruel aunt was rich so our house also has a modern look. Although it is medium-sized it is still good. I looked at the corners of the bed that suddenly I heard Jade's voice.

"What is this?" She was holding a black box. My eyes widened. Cold sweat formed on my face. I saw that the cupboard of the almirah was opened. I ran towards her and took the box away from her. She looked like she was sad that I took the box away. I tried to act normal and calm myself down.

"T-This is j-just a bo-o-x" I said stuttering.

"I also know that this is a box" She said as a matter of fact.

"But what is inside of it?" Jade asked, out of curiosity. I just shook my head and said

"This is just something. You have to find your necklace right? Concentrate on that" I said and she rolled her eyes and started searching for it. After almost an hour we found it. It was in the washroom, in the towel. Probably it must have stuck on it when she was using it. We ate our breakfast and Jade went to sleep.

I went into my room. I glanced at that box. Again....Cold sweat started to drop out of my face. Those horrible memories. Which I have hidden from everyone. A dark past, which has to stay inside that box.

Those horrible nights and days. Those frightening thoughts.

My eyes went red. Tears stream down my face, I let them flow. I wanted to forget all that but I can't. I failed miserably in forgetting those horrible memories. If only someone could take my pain away. If only someone could understand what I've gone through.How much I am broken.

"Babe I am home" I called out from downstairs. He came jumping towards me. His blonde hair perfectly styled and his green eyes are looking beautiful as always.

"I missed you so much" He whispered in my ear and put his hand around my waist. He pulled our bodies closer. He brought his lips towards mine and planted a kiss on them.

"I love you so much" he whispered.

"I love you too" I replied and I mean it.

He took me towards the couch and we both lied there and he cuddled up to me. He played a movie on television.

Our cell phones were on the table which was in front of us. His phone was getting off again and again. But he was not reacting to it. And I liked it that he wants to spend time with me. Again his phone went off.

"Hey, you can pick it up" I said.

"No babe, that person can wait" He replied

"No, please, It can be important. Pick it up" I insist.

He gave a kiss on my cheek and said "10 minutes max"

I smiled and he picked up his phone and went to our room. After exact 10 minutes, he came back and kept his phone on the table.

"Babe, I am just coming from the washroom okay?" He said and I nodded.

When he entered the washroom, his phone went off again. I huffed in annoyance that how someone can be so clingy. I picked up his phone and swiped up the screen. There was a text. I opened the text.

And from that day my life came crashing down.
