Mr Billionaire's Heart

CHAPTER 18 JEALOUS WIFE

It's afternoon and I'm lounging in Aaron's bed, which is super comfy! Ever since that scary kidnapping incident, Aaron has been taking care of me in his room because I'm still recovering. Despite my protests, he insists on looking after me himself, even though I try to tell him that the Maids can help out.
I glance over at Aaron, who is busy at his desk working on his laptop. He's been working from home to make sure I'm okay, even though I keep assuring him that I'm getting better. He just won't listen to me!
I can't help but feel grateful for how much he cares about me, even though he insists that love isn't part of his life. Deep down, I know my heart is fluttering and my eyes are shining, but I also know that love isn't something he believes in. And honestly, I'm okay with that because love isn't what I feel for him either.

I'm just curious about what it feels like to be loved by someone. I used to have a crush on this guy named Eliot since high school, but he ended up betraying me and cheated on me, which still hurts.
I glanced over at Aaron, who was only in his sweatpants - mostly without a shirt, showcasing his toned abs. I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach and couldn't take my eyes off of him. He had his laptop in his lap, speaking on the phone about a business matter.
When he noticed me staring, he ended the call and flashed me a dimpled grin.
"Like what you see? You like what you see," he teased, pointing to his muscles.
He seemed to be in a playful mood, so I decided to play along. "Well, Mr. Knight, let's see how you react after I respond," I chuckled.

"I've been noticing lately that you have a certain charm, but honestly, all those girls fawning over you for your looks - you're not even that good-looking," I remarked, grinning.
But that couldn't be further from the truth - he's incredibly handsome and could easily be a model, not just a businessman. In fact, he's been featured in top magazines like Vogue and Forbes as one of the youngest and most successful billionaires. At only 28, he's already one of the richest people in the world according to Forbes - talk about impressive achievements at a young age!
"Ouch, that stings," he joked, feigning hurt as he placed a hand over his heart.
I couldn't help but laugh.
"I never thought Mr. Jerk could also be so blunt," I teased.
"Do you still think I'm not attractive?" he asked, standing up from the couch and moving towards me.

As he approached my bed, I felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. My eyes widened and my breath quickened as he leaned over me, his breath brushing against my cheeks and heading towards my neck. I gripped the sheets and held my breath, feeling a flutter in my stomach and goosebumps on my skin.
He inched closer, his breath now fanning across my lips and his eyes fixed on mine. "Aaron," I whispered, wondering what he would do next as I closed my eyes tightly. After a moment of anticipation, I cautiously opened my eyes to find him gazing at me with a look of pure affection.
"Don't worry, I won't touch you without your permission," he said softly in my ear, causing my breath to still and my heart to race. As he moved away, I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

"We need to go for your X-rays to check for any serious internal injuries," he said softly as he gently tucked my brown hair behind my ear.
I nodded and attempted to sit up in bed, with Aaron's help.
"It's time for your medication," he reminded me as he handed me the pills along with a glass of milk.
"I really don't like taking this medicine, it makes me feel sick," I grumbled, recalling how I had always been stubborn about taking medications since I was a child.
"Come on, you're not a little grumpy 5-year-old," he said with a slight frown.
"I just can't do it," I protested, dreading the taste of the sour and bitter pills.
"Alright, how about we make a deal?" he suggested, and I raised my eyebrows in curiosity.

My inner voice immediately protested against the idea of eating cheese pizza, reminding me that it doesn't agree with my body. I decided to play along with him, but not without a little teasing."Hmm, your offer doesn't seem all that impressive," I responded, glancing at him from the corner of my eye. He smirked in response, clearly enjoying the banter."Well then, I guess I'll have to inform Amy to serve you tasteless green food as per the doctor's advice," he said, throwing his head back with a mischievous grin."You... you're like Satan, the embodiment of evil," I retorted, turning away from him.He chuckled, his body shaking with laughter. "Thank you, and I love you too," he replied, his lips curled into a playful smile.
