Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

*****

Sheila frowned as soon as she saw the message. She read it over and over again. What’s Ben trying to do? What did he see or hear that made him think like this?

She looked at the box in her hand. She was just on her way to Aiden’s office when the message came in. She kept her phone and marched towards his office.

She swore if it turned out to be true, she will murder him. As she barged into his office without even knocking, she noticed he quickly cut whatever call he had. He looked nervous as he hurriedly hid his phone.

She thought of the message she just saw. Is Aiden really hiding something from her? Is he really seeing that bitch behind her back?

She dropped the box on his table angrily and went to where he was standing. He looked down refusing to stare back at her. She silently panicked at the thought that he was really seeing that bitch again.

“Babe… Why are you here? I already told you not to bring the food. You should stay at home and rest. You ain’t in a condition to stress yourself so much,” he mumbled still looking down.

Sheila had an angry expression on her face as she said,”You didn’t want me to come so I won’t catch you cheating, lying piece of shit.”

Aiden instantly looked up with an astonished expression. He couldn’t believe that Sheila just called him names. She really called him a cheating, lying piece of shit.

He cautioned himself and tried to touch her,”Babe what are you talking about? I don’t…”

“Don’t you dare touch me!!!,” Sheila shouted moving away from him.

“Babe, please don’t shout. It’s not good for the baby,” Aiden said and still tried to move closer to her.

“If you cared about this baby at all, you wouldn’t have cheated on me!,” Sheila shouted again.

Aiden brushed his hair with hands feeling frustrated. What the heck is she talking about?

“Give me your phone. Give me your phone right now!,” Sheila said with her hands outstretched to collect the phone.

“Why do you need my phone?,” Aiden asked perplexed. He’s still confused on everything that is going on.

“Give the phone now! You were clearly calling someone when I came in so why did you hurriedly cut the call?,”Sheila said.

Aiden frowned and handed the phone over to her without saying a word. He looked a little bit angry. Sheila tried to unlock his phone but failed to do so. She looked up and gasped.

“You bastard! You even changed your pin. Now I am convinced that you are really hiding something. And I must find out what it is!,” Sheila said angrily.

Aiden sighed and gently tap his forehead. Then he tried to move closer to Sheila,”Babe… Just listen to me. Babe… I.”

“Don’t babe me!!! Don’t you dare call me babe!!!,” Sheila replied. Aiden stopped in his tracks. Those words, DON”T-CALL-ME-BABE sounds familiar. That was what Sharon said when she caught him cheating on her.

He sighed again and momentarily closed his eyes. Those heartbroken eyes. That heartbroken expression Sharon showed him that day still haunts him everyday.

He can’t seem to get her heartbroken expression from his head. Why is he feeling this way? Is this guilt or something else?

He opened his eyes as soon as Sheila starts hitting him on his chest. He didn’t really feel any pain but he’s getting angry.

He held her hands and shouted in frustration,”Babe!!! Babe!!! Just calm down, okay!? You walk in here and start falsely accusing me! Even if you were having any problem with me, then talk to me. Not barging into my office and screaming like this!!,” Aiden said as he successfully embraced her.

“Let me go bastard! You think I don’t know your secret affair with that bitch! What do you even like in that ugly seductress? I swear Sharon is gonna pay for this,” Sheila answered gritting her teeth angrily.

Aiden finally understood what’s going on and he laughed a little making Sheila much more infuriated.

“You think I’m having an affair with Sharon,” Aiden asked incredulously.

“I don’t think so. I know so!,” Sheila uttered shouting of course.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“What!!?,” Aiden asked with a disappointed look on his face.

“Why don’t you want to eat Jimmy? At least, there must be a reason,” Sharon asked as she scooped food into the plates.

“I don’t want to eat. I don’t just feel like eating!,” Jimmy retorted ignoring the grumble sounds coming from his stomach.

He looked at the yummy dishes on the table and his stomach grumbled again. He looked down secretly regretting his decision of not eating.

He stood up and quietly left the dinning room. As soon as he left, Sharon turned to look at the doorway. She wondered worriedly why Jimmy doesn’t want to eat.

Why is he refusing to eat? Is it because she is the one that cooked the food? Lena isn’t around as she already left for her boyfriend’s house earlier today.

And Sharon didn’t want them to starve. Heck! She can’t even stand another round of argument with Jasper. She’s still amazed at how quickly he changes his expressions.

This morning he was acting so loving that she almost got lost in the little glimpse of heaven he showed her. But then this afternoon, they were back to normal.

Now arguing on countless matters… Pointless matters. She looked up eagerly again as soon as the door opened. She was expecting to see Jimmy but it’s Jasper to that came in.

She pouted sadly and pulled out a seat for him. He noticed it and frowned. That cute… Oops! Sorry that was a mistake. That monkey pout again. He already told her pout doesn’t suit her face so why is she pouting again?

He smirked and was about to make a rude remark again when he saw the delicious food on the table. He paused in his words immediately and remembered that the last time he had insulted her when they were about to eat, he almost didn’t have dinner that day.

So if he says something now, he might not even get to eat at all. He quickly swallowed his words and steered his wheelchair towards the table.

Sharon watched him as he sat down to eat. He had barely even taken few bites when she said,”Jimmy refused to eat his food. I don’t know why he’s upset?”

Jasper stopped eating immediately and looked at Sharon suspiciously,”What did you say to him to make him upset? He’s such a sweet boy so I know you must have said something.”

Sharon glared at him. What sweet boy? That rude, little brat. A mini version of this rude punk in front of her. Seeing her glare, Jasper almost choked. He quickly drank water and got back to his wheelchair.

Then he gently steered the wheelchair from the dining room. It’s no use getting into a fight with fatty, she’ll just seize his food. It’s better to just ask Jimmy himself.

Ben sighed in relief and exhaustion. The abnormal decrease in the stock has finally been stopped. But the the damage is already done.

As he stared at the computer screen, he silently and quickly calculated all his debts. He almost fainted out of shock from how much he has to pay. If he pays all these, then how will employees get their salary?

He can’t ask the shareholders for help. He can’t accept loan from bank cause he isn’t sure if he will pay. He can’t also ask his father. Cause that would practically make him lose favour in his father’s eyes and he might be removed from the CEO position.

He brought out his phone to search for contacts he can call for help. But one after the other, they were just giving different types of excuses. None offered to help him.

He put his phone back in his pocket angrily. When he always needed company for weekend, he’ll invite them all to go party with him. And none will pay a dime. He’ll generously take care of them.

But now that he urgently needs their help, no one wants to help. He has always watch this happen on TV. Never knew that it would happen to him someday. He sighed again not knowing what to do now.

“I swear, if I see that bastard that did this right now. I’m gonna kill him,” Ben said quietly. It wasn’t up to few minutes that he spoke when his phone rang. He picked the call immediately.

“Hello boss, it wasn’t easy but we found the person involved in the attack on your company. Sir, it’s…”
