Chapter 17

" I realised something last night. You aren't just afraid of her reaction."

"Why are you so interested in my life all of a sudden?" She asked, taking a long swing.

" Because what I'm about to offer you is going to benefit both of us. So as I was saying, I found out that Simone's elder brother, what's his name?"

"Charles" She offered.

'So. I found out Charles is gay. That is the reason why he isn't the CEO of Gonzalez Inc. But I think you already know that."

"How does that matter?"

"She is never going to choose you after seeing what it cost her brother. "

Virginia stood up and walked over to the wine cabinet and filled up her glass.

"Unless, we make her realise it is worth the fight."

Virginia quirked an eyebrow as she returned to her seat.

"What do you mean?"

She's after my fiancé, and her family is after him financially."

"What do you mean her family is after him? They don't give a damn who she marries."

"That's what you were made to believe, Virginia. Their company is facing some crisis, and they need a level headed billionaire to handle it since Simone has no idea to run a company. Which means once someone with as much attributes as Xavier comes around, Xavier will be old news. That is just by the way. Now to what matters. Like I've more than clearly stated, I have a proposal for you."

"I've been waiting for you to jump into that for a while now, Mia." She replied, leaning back in her seat.

"I want Simone out of my fiancé's life, and you want her in your life. I think Xavier is going to handle this from a business point of view because he thinks it all narrows down to Simone doing what her parents want her to do. So I decided I'll take the other half. Simone has to realise the role you play in her life, and I'm going to ensure that. I'm going to put her through series of problems, and other things, I don't want to go into details. But the good part is, before I do any of these things, I'll give you a heads up. So you will be the saviour of the day. If you fail to save her on time, that has nothing to do with me. It isn't going to be easy, but then, that is why I will give you a heads up. Now, you don't get to call her and tell her what I'm doing. You only get to save her. If you let her know, the deal is off. Trust me, I will know if you tell her. Don't under estimate me, b. Although I think you never did."

Virginia thought for a moment about what I said, then spoke.

"What's in for you?"

"She will be occupied enough to take her mind off Xavier so that he can do what he has to do. Truly speaking, putting aside Simone's so called affections, she is just a pawn in her parents game. She is going to realize that when they find another rich guy. I don't think she wants to have anything to do with bisexuality, looking at what it cost her brother, but after our little charades and after she finds out about her parent's schemes, she won't give a fly anymore. From what I can see, I think she will be very hurt. That's where your big shot comes. At the end of the day, Simone is probably going to turn down their offer to run the company because she isn't interested, you two live happily and so does me and Xavier. The end." I said, with a smile.

"You make it sound like some fairytale.How long did it take you to think about all of this?"

"I don't think that matters. So what do you say? Once again, Xavier has no idea."
