Billionaire’s Great Obsession

“I stayed at the man’s place for three days and only just woke up a couple of hours ago. I came back as soon as I woke up.” Brianna replied honestly.

“Where does he live?”

“I don’t know,” Brianna said plainly.

“Ha. You don’t know?! You lived there for three days, and you don’t know where he lives? Don’t you know how to tell a better lie? Scott went to the bar to look for you, but you left with that mysterious man. And you were gone for three days without any news. Don’t you remember that you are Scott’s wife? Or you simply don’t care and sleep with any man you want?”

Brianna glared at Sophia and retorted immediately, “Sophia, don’t you speak nonsense. Nothing happened between him and me. He helped me, and that was it.”

“Then, why won’t you tell us where he lives? You are worried that Scott will go look for him and find out what has happened between you two, aren’t you?”

“Sophia, not everyone is a slut or a liar like you. I’ve done nothing indecent.” Brianna said, looking at Sophia and Scott.

“Sophia, don’t you want to have dinner with me? Now I grant you the chance.” Scott finally spoke.

Despite his coldness, Sophia smiled happily and said, “That’s wonderful. Shall we go then?”

Scott and Sophia walked past Brianna towards their cars.

Brianna felt abandoned. She bit her lips and reminded herself to stay calm. He’s misunderstood me. If I get upset now, it will only make things worse.

Before Scott got into the car, Brianna rushed over and closed the door, blocking Scott’s way. Scott threw an impatient look at her, then beckoned a bodyguard standing behind him. It was obvious that he was asking the bodyguard to take Brianna away.

Brianna grabbed Scott’s arm and said quickly, “Scott, my phone battery died when I called you that night. I passed out at the bar and only woke up a couple of hours ago. I came back to see you as soon as I could. I didn’t even have time to charge my phone.”

Scott slapped her hands off his arm. The bodyguard opened the door for him. As he was to get into the car, Brianna hugged him from behind. “The man doesn’t want people to know where he lives. He covered my eyes before I got into the car, and on the way, they put some sort of hypnotizing music on, and I was asleep till I got back to the city center. The driver dropped me off outside the French Café.”

Scott remained silent.

Brianna went on. “Scott, you are the perfect man I’ve met. It’s impossible that I can even replace you with anyone else. I would rather die than betray you. And I am a faithful wife to you, no matter what happens,”

Scott seemed to relax a bit, but he kept his back facing her and tried to take her hands off him. Brianna tightened her embrace and even kissed him on his back, which finally pleased Scott.

He turned around, lifted her chin up with his long slim fingers, and said, “You’d better be honest with me. I hate someone who betrays me at all cost,”

“I have been all the time. I will never ever lie to you or betray you.” Brianna said.

Scott got into the car and beckoned Brianna. With a smile, Brianna went in and sat next to Scott, holding his hand and resting her head on his shoulder intimately.

She looked out of the window and saw Sophia standing by her car, glaring at her. After waiting for so long and asking Scott so many times, Sophia had finally got the chance to dine with Scott, yet now it was all spoiled again.

Brianna responded with a triumphant smile and looked away.

“Scott, how’s Jacob?”

Scott had his eyes closed. He didn’t answer.

Brianna shook his hand a bit and asked again, “Scott, how’s Jacob?”

Scott tapped her hand off impatiently and said, “Why do you care about him so much?”

“It’s not him that I care about. I just don’t want to share my husband with another man.” Brianna pouted her lips.

Scott looked at Brianna for a bit as if he was startled. “He’s a good friend.”

“You two sleep in the same room!” Brianna almost exclaimed.

The driver burst out chuckling but quickly coughed, deliberately hoping to hide his laugh.

Scott glared at him for a second, then turned to look at Brianna. “Are you actually jealous?”

“Jealous? No. But I don’t like sharing a man with another man.”

“I’m not gay. I’m only interested in women and women that look like Sol.”

Brianna felt relieved as well as hurt. I can only be her replacement. Even if I can keep Jacob and Sophia away from him, I can never win his heart.

Uncertain how she should reply, Brianna decided to change the subject. “Scott, can you please do me a favor?”

“What is it about?”

“The mysterious man helped my friend Angela as well and she’s in hospital, but he didn’t tell me which hospital she’s staying at. I’m worried about her.”

“It looks like this guy wants something from your friend.”

“Huh? Perhaps he likes Angela?”

Scott chuckled. “Why would someone with such power fall in love with a girl that sings at a bar? I think it’s more likely that he will ask her to do something for him to return his favor.”

Brianna grew worried. “Can you help me find out where Angela is, please?”

“Can’t you get in touch with the guy?”

Brianna shook her head. “I don’t know where he lives, and I don’t have his contact.”

“I will try, but I can’t promise anything.”

“But you are the most powerful person in Las Vegas. Surely, if you want to find someone, you can.”

“I’m not sure if I’m the only powerful one.”

“Huh?”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Scott had to admit that the mysterious man would probably be the most powerful enemy he ever encountered, even more threatening than the Moores.
