Not To You (Billionaire's Secret)

chapter 24

The dim lightening made it hard to see clearly but there was something familiar about the people sitted as the audience. I picked up my guitar with ease and familiarity and folded my legs that were clad in my boyfriend jeans as i sat on a stool.

I looked down for a moment to adjust my guitar my wavy hair sliding silkily on my forehead at the movement, hiding my face and i raked at them impatiently with my fingers.

🎶a drift a lonely little cloud🎵

My eyes strolled through the crowdy hallway. He was staring at me. Those startling blue eyes glistening in the dark. His skin is tan and muscular.

"Why are you here?" - - - "i din't invite you here."

"That's new...i never knew you had feelings for me."

"I literally hate you."

"Hate is the firts step to love."

A great applause rose from the floor and i came out wearing a ponytail gown.

🎶above ground were i stand so proud🎵
My face glowing loudly through the crowd

The beautiful mumble was heard from behind me- - -He was peaceful- - -His hair was messy across his face- - -lips looked so soft.

I fell on my face- - -not inches away from my face where those deep blue eyes.

"Thanks for saving me." I stuttered.

🎶as i walk with the beauty of the night🎶

"What are you doing here, sitting on my bed"- - -"using my towel." He takes the towel and my hair fell on my shoulders, leaving fresh droplets of water on my smooth skin. Sighing, he places the towel on my head. "You can have it."

🎶but i have walked alone🎵
With the stars in the moonlit night
🎶i have walked alone🎵
No one by my side

I stumbled crashing the door opposite his room open and sagged against it, praying he hadn't noticed- - -A rich low sound of laughter floated through the door.
- - -
He stood beside me in the starless night at the balcony- - -

Before i could guess what he was at, he slowly reached forward and pulled me into his arms. He lifted my chin and lowered his head to place his lips on mine. His kiss had left my mouth burning, had snatched my breath away, and i could only bury my face in his shoulder to inhale his rich masculine scent.

'Micheal! Micheal!' Overlapping voices grew louder. 'You'll be alright.'

The bullet lodged into his brain and he crumpled to the ground.

Abriella's eyes popped open dispersing the beautiful scary dream. A single tear evacuates her eyes, joining the rivers of sweat that rushed down from the sides of her face. She looked around and tightened her grip around her legs. She was still sitted in the darkness at a corner by the wall hugging her knees.

She heard the room door unlock and strived to be hidden but couldn't so she shrank and coiled herself up. The door swung open and Kaden walked directly towards her. He reached the side of the bed and cocked hus head to one side smiling so slightly.

"How are you?" He squatted infront of her and gently pushed her hair to the back of her ear. Abriella squeaked and buried her face in her arms, scared that he might hurt her.

"Now now pet. Look at me." He tried raising her chin "Look. At. Me." He wrapped his hand around her hair and pulled her face up. Sighs "There, that wasn't so bad was it?" He lets go of her and stood up. "I want you to get up." He stretched his hand toward her. But she stared at it for some seconds, thinking of the damage waiting to be done by that hand. His calmness and her fear hung between them in a thick and heavy coil. She knew it was a bad idea, he was going to hurt her.
