THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

“What did you just say?” Kevin asked, his face narrowing down in suspicion.

“You think that I am not aware? That you were cheating on me? I knew all along, even before I and Ivory came down here. I heard your conversation with Carla that night before you moved here. I didn’t make a scene out of it or confronted you about it because you said you never loved her. You said you were just with her for her money and nothing more. I heard you tell Carla that I am the one you love. You told her you were doing it for us all to live a good and better life, but I doubt that was true. Because if you do not love her, you wouldn’t have left Ivory all alone just to meet up with her. You wouldn’t have killed a child you claimed to be yours!!!!” Ellie’s voice shook with fury as her fists clenched, her face flushed red. Tears streamed down her cheeks, mingling with her anger as she faced Kevin with the painful truth.

“What? You knew?’ Kevin asked, with the corners of his lips trembling, betraying his attempt to maintain composure.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Yes, I do. The day Ivory died, you lied to me about getting an emergency call from your office, which was the reason you had to leave her at home. But guess what? I found out the truth!!!! I found out the fucking truth from the text your mistress, Nicole, sent to you!!!!” Ellie’s voice trembled, with a mix of anger and betrayal.

“Which text are you talking about?” Kevin queried, the muscles in his face tightened, making his expression look almost frozen in place.

“Do you remember the day I collapsed at the hospital, after coming to the realization of Ivory’s death? It was that day I found out. After I woke up and you decided to get me some water, a notification popped up on your phone which you had placed on my bed that day. Upon checking it, I saw her message. The message of the woman with whom you both killed my daughter” Ellie yelled in anguish, with tears rolling down her eyes.

“I am sorry for your daughter’s death. If not for me, she wouldn’t have died. I shouldn’t have asked you to come over that day. I feel guilty for the misfortune which has befallen your family. I am sorry and I love you” these were the contents of the message. It was that night I found out my own daughter died, because of your infidelity. How could you have done this to me? How could you? She was like a daughter to you too. So, how could you have killed her?” Ellie said, with her hand on her chest, which was hurting in pain.

“I am sorry. I didn’t mean for her to die. I am just trying to make us live a better life. I never knew she would die in the process. I think this is for the better. You actually never wanted her. She was unplanned for. She was just a child born out of a mistake. So, why don’t you let go of her and let’s focus on our future together? She has always been a burden to us; we are better off without her. Let’s see this as an opportunity to be free from her burden or what do you think?” Kevin said, with his cold, calculated words cutting through the air like a knife, each one a fresh wound. His expression was icy, betraying no hint of remorse. Ellie couldn’t believe what she had heard. She looked into his eyes and all she could see was a cold and fierce look, the one which she had never seen before. It looked as if she was seeing a new version of Kevin; the one granny had also seen as she took her last breath.

“What did you just say?” Ellie asked, with her voice shaking, finding it heard to believe Kevin could have uttered what he said.

“You heard me just right. Stop pretending to be a good mother when you never actually loved her. Do you know how many times you tried to kill her while she was in your womb? I know deep down in you, you are grateful that she is finally gone. So, what’s the fuss all about? You should be grateful to me for taking her out of the way, instead of you throwing a tantrum. Although, I am also sad because of her death, not because I loved her but because I had a good use of her. If she were still alive, she would have been my fastest way to success. Imagine raising the granddaughter of the Prime Minister. Just imagine how much money she would have brought forth!!!!! It’s a shame she left this world without being of any good use. Since your daughter, whom I had thought would be my way of rising up to fame is no more, allow me to make use of the other instrument which can fetch me money. It’s not as if you are adding any value to my life. You have been living off me your whole life. So, I will advise you to stay put while I continue my love story with the woman who can give me all I want and I promise to make sure you live in affluence too. Do we have an agreement on that?” Kevin’s words dripped with cruelty and lack of remorse. It was at this moment, Kevin’s sinister intentions became clear to Ellie, as he revealed his true feelings and intentions.

“So, you mean you begged me to have her just so you could make use of her in accumulating wealth? You have been pretending to love and care about her all along? What else did you lie about?” Ellie’s mouth fell open, her eyes blinking rapidly as if struggling to wake from a nightmare.

“Why else would I raise someone else child if not because of that?” Kevin said, widening his eyes, with his lips curled up. It was at that moment Ellie realized what a devil he was. Ellie held onto her dress and clenched her fist, with anger and hatred built up within her towards Kevin.

“This apartment has been sold. We will be moving out today to our new place. All you have to do is to keep shut and live the rest of your life quietly, spending my money as you have always done. They will be disposing off the toys. So, keep your fucking mouth shut and live as I instruct you” Kevin said in a stern voice, walking to the door, to call on the courier personnel to continue their work.

“What if I do not want to live quietly? What if I want to bring you down and make you lose everything?” Ellie asked, with a fierce and determined voice. Her eyes were filled with rage and anger. This made Kevin halt in his steps and he turned around to face Ellie.

“Then, be ready to die,” he said, his eyes widened with a frantic desperation and determination. He called on the courier personnel, who continued their job. Right in front of Ellie, Ivory’s toys were packed away to be disposed and which almost brought tears to her eyes. On her verge of tears, she composed herself and promised never to be weak in front of the man who killed her daughter. The look on Kevin said it all; that he was ready to take away anyone that was hell-bent on disrupting his plans.

As she took one last look at Ivory’s room before leaving for their new apartment, Ellie vowed to avenge her daughter’s death, even if it meant sacrificing her own life. Her eyes blazed with fury, as she vowed to avenge her daughter. She would not let Kevin’s betrayal go unpunished, even if it cost her everything.

“Let’s see if you will remain alive, if your boss finds out you are actually warming his wife’s bed!!!” Ellie thought, planning to take her next action against Kevin. Do you think she would be able to pull through?
