Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

“She works for Jared”

“I know that. We met by chance and she is such a good girl. Come. Follow me” she forced a smile, ignoring Jane’s cutting gaze.

Mrs Smith took her around introducing her to people, which made her feel embarrassed. Some even mistook her as her daughter.

“You came. I thought you would not be able to make it” Mrs Anderson walked towards the new arrival, still holding Valerie’s hand.

“We would never miss your party” the only woman in the group said. “Who is this?”

“Oh, this is a young lady I met recently. She is so well-behaved and nice. Her name is Valerie Gardner. Valerie, I’m not sure if you have seen them before, but this is Mr Smith and his wife and that is the head of the family” She pointed at old Smith who found a seating an isolated corner.

“You mean boss’s family?” She whispered, a hint of nervousness in her voice. Mrs Anderson nodded.

“Holy – I’m sorry, I…” she hated herself for stuttering.

“I’m Valerie Gardner, your son’s secretary”

“She must have a good character for you to cherish her so much. It’s a pleasure to meet you, young lady”

She managed a stifled smile.

“Ma’am, I feel a bit nauseous, can I go out for some air?”

“Sure. Of course, dear”

She went into the garden, breathing heavily. It was really choking in there. She could not make sense of the woman’s interest in her.

“What are you doing out here?”she jumped at the voice. “It’s me” Jared said.

“I just needed some fresh air. I also owe you no explanation”

“Are you mad at me?”

“Mad?” She chuckled. “Why would I be? I guess looking down on me is not enough for me to get mad”

“I’m sorry, I….”

“You are sorry. It’s obvious you think so little of me”

“I don’t. I was just surprised to see you there. I never knew you and her were so close”

She swallowed and looked away as tears rolled down her cheeks. Why was she crying? She has no idea.

“Look, I…. wait, are you crying? What happened? Was it because of what I did? I’m sorry. I can say that a million times if you want. She felt even more upset that he cared so much. Maybe she would have felt better if he had just gotten angry and ordered her to stop. “Please, stop crying” he had no idea how to pacify a lady in tears.

“I want to go back to the party”

“Are you certain? You don’t look ready. You can stay here a bit more while you get it together. If you want me to leave -”

“Stay” The words were out before she could stop it . “Don’t go”

“Hm. I will not leave”

There was silence except for the sound of the wind blowing.

“How did you and Mrs Anderson meet anyway?”

She narrated everything to him. “That explains why you were late. She even went as far as to get you dresses”

“Yeah”

“She seems to like you a lot. Introducing you to everyone who approached her”

“It made me feel uncomfortable”

He didn’t know what else to say to her.

“Kiss me” she said out of the blue.

“What!” He thought he heard wrong.

“Kiss me” she repeated.

“Are you drunk?”

“I know what I’m saying”

“You know, when I start, it is hard for me to stop”

She wrapped her hands around his neck, brought him close, and their lips locked. She grabbed him like her life depended on it.

The gown she wore was not heavy and was made with light material, so it was easy to raise. He made it a pile at her waist, shifted her panties and inserted his right index finger.

“Ah!” She gasped. Her grip on him became even tighter when he employed a second and third finger. She felt her head spinning and ringing loudly, and she felt herself reaching climax.

************

Jane walked around the large room looking for Jared. She had only visited the restroom a few minutes ago, and he was nowhere to be found now. To make matters worse, that secretary of his was not in sight too.

She was about to go out to look for him when he came in looking normal. Her expression, however, turned horrible when she saw Valerie follow him in. Her hair looked a little tousled. She gripped her fist in anger and marched towards him.

“Where are you coming from?”

“I don’t owe you any explanation”

“You have the audacity to fuck her at my family’s party?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Watch what you say” he sidestepped her and walked away.

Initially, Valerie was scared of returning to the room where she knew no one, but her happiness knew no bounds when she saw Sandy.

“I had no idea you would come. Did he finally let you out alone”

She scoffed. “I wish. He only agreed after a lot of whining from me and on the condition that he would come with me. What about you? Did you come with Jared?”

“No. I came alone. Mrs Anderson gave me an invitation”

“Jane’s mother? How do you know her?”

“It’s not a long story, but I’m not in the mood to narrate. I just know her”

“I see”

“How is my little nephew doing?”

“Good, I guess. My due date is in a few months. I’m getting so scared. I heard childbirth is painful”

Valerie did not know what to say. She had never had one, so there was no way she could allay her fears.

“Hey, am I mistaken or Jane is looking in our direction”

“Yeah. She is”

“I think she is looking at you, like she could kill you any minute. Did you do something to her?”

“Me? What could a nobody like me possibly do to an heiress?” Somehow, seeing Jane so angry gave her joy.

***************

Damon sat in his drawing room as usual, his brush in his hand and a small smile on his face. He drew something else this time. Something different. A woman.

His minion knocked.

“Come in”

“How is it going with Dylan?” He asked casually, adding some final strokes.

“According to our spy in the house, things are quite stale between them recently”

“Oh. Why is that?”

“It happened after the appearance of a lady. She got jealous”

Damon smirked. “Actually, the lady the spy was talking about is….. is….”

“Do you want a bullet lodged in your other leg?”

“I’m sorry. The lady turned out to be the princess”

He threw the palette against the wall, smearing it. His eyes blazed with mad fury.

“What does she think she is doing? Approaching my enemies? Does she think she could gain the upper hand by doing that?” He sighed and went out, his man following closely behind him.

“Do you know what Valerie has been doing recently?”

“I don’t. You asked me not to follow her”

He glared before entering his bedroom and shut the door. After a shower, he thought of calling her, but he wasn’t sure. They had not talked in a long time.

“Wait, am I getting nervous right now?”

It was midnight, and she would probably be asleep, so he ended up sending a text.
