A Deal With The Millionaire

Chapter 01

** Yummy Restaurant **

" You kids should hurry up, we have to ensure everything is in place, we don't wanna make any mistake at all " The supervisor said to the workers, as he moved around supervising their works.

His eyes caught Layla, one of the attendants and winked at her while she looked away immediately.

A smirk played on his lips as he walked away.

" Can't believe he just addressed us as kids " Lila, one of the waitress hissed and the others chuckled.

" Hey, are you okay? " Mira tapped her friend, Layla, softly as they both arranged the luxurious chairs, placing them in order.

" Yeah " She mumbled under her breath but loud enough for her to hear.

" Is it about the fees? " She asked and Layla released a deep breath.

" Yeah, I'm just worried, If we're ever going to make enough money off this job that could be enough for the tution fees, tho the pay here is good, I just don't think working here for some few months could be enough, I think we need more jobs " Layla replied and Mira sighed.

" It's fine, we would find a way out " Mira assured and She nodded.

Mira and Layla had been friends since birth, they've become so close that people often regarded them as sisters as a result of their close intimacy.

They've become so close that they share each other's secrets. They both attended the same school right from prep, and even attended the same high school and graduated together, and are now planning to attend the same college to study the same course.

Together, they're striving hard to gather enough money that could be enough to pay their University tution fees, towards this, they got a job at a well-known and expensive restaurants as waitress and the pay is quite good.

Currently, the restaurant is preparing and getting ready to close as a wedding would be holding there that week. A well-known millionaire , Shane Kent, would be getting married to his fiancee.

He's a handsome and well-known business man, every ladies dream, he getting married sure made tons of ladies jealous of his fiancee.

" Layla " Miles, one of the servers called as he approached them and the girls turned to him.

" The supervisor seeks your attention " He said and Layla groaned mentally before nodding.

" Alright, I'll see him soon " She replied simply and he nodded before walking away.

" You haven't given him a reply yet? " Mira asked

" Hmm " She hummed in response, The supervisor actually asked her out to a date.

" So, what's gon' be your reply? " Mira asked and Layla groaned.

" Really?, I can't go on a date with him, he's older than me, and moreover, I ain't ready for a relationship now, I got lots of things on my head " Layla replied.

" He only asked you out on a date, not like he's asking you to be his girlfriend, and the last time I checked he's 24 " Mira said.

" I can't, I will politely turn him down " She replied and with that walked away.

Layla walked into the supervisor's office and his lips crept into a smile as she stood in front of him.

" You're here " He said, with this flirtatious smile and Layla nodded slowly.

" So, I hope you've got a response for my request " He started and Layla nodded, with a light smile.

" Um.. Sir... I'm sorry.. but I can't " She said and his smile faded away slowly, as his eyebrows arose.

" Sorry? " He asked, unsure of what he heard.

" I can't sir " She replied politely

" Really? " He asked grinning loudly and Layla shook her head.

" You know what?... Is there anything you ever want?, House?, Cars?... , Name them all, I'll give them to you " He said, standing up and moving forward to Layla while she kept shifting backwards till her back hit the wall and he was almost into her, leaving no space between them and she could hardly breath, as their breath kept fanning against each other.

" I want you " He muttered into her ear and she gulped down into nothing.

He circled his hands round her face while she shivered on her spot, he continued trailing his hands down, till he got to her chest and she snapped out of her thoughts, she pushed him away with all her strength and he fell, collapsing to the desk, destroying it and Layla gasped in shock.

" Sir.. I didn't mean to... I was... "

" Leave! " He cut her off as he groaned in pain and she shook her head.

" No... sir, I was just... " She stuttered at the point of tears.

" Guards! " The supervisor called and they rushed in immediately to attend to him, while Layla stood aside, blaming herself.

The other workers had rushed in to, while some were glaring at Layla, wondering what she had done to the supervisor.

" Are you okay? " Mirah asked Layla and she nodded slowly.

** Later in the night, 10pm **

" Gosh, I'm tired " Layla groaned as she closed the restaurant big gate, it was late already.

The supervisor had punished her by asking her to clean the restaurant alone in the night.

He was still in pains by the time he left for his home, and Layla wouldn't stop blaming herself for his condition.

She hopes he's okay.

She dust her hands and turned to leave but was startled as she saw a figure sitting by the gate, on the floor.

She couldn't see his face clearly but knew was a man, he wasn't looking okay and Layla moved back in fear.

" Sir, are you okay? " She asked, moving closer to him slowly.

The man stood up drunkenly.

" I need to sleep " He muttered, unsure of where he was.

Layla who was confused acknowledged him as a beggar who needed shelter.

" You need shelter? " She asked and he nodded.

Layla stared at his face and saw traces of tears on his face, he cried?.

She was suddenly full of pity for him as she thought he might have been roaming around the streets with no place to stay.

She looked around and thought of finding a place he could hide in the restaurant till the next morning.

" Gosh, I hope I don't get caught " She sighed, staring pitifully at the man in front of her, he was almost dozing off on his stand, his face was puffy and he looked miserable.

She opened the gate and guided him in, not minding the fact that he kept staggering.

She led him into the small house where the gateman stayed whenever the restaurant was open, but since they had closed, he wouldn't be returning until the wedding day.

She found a small bed and laid it properly before guiding him to the bed which he landed on and dozed off immediately, tears brimming from his face as he slept and Layla couldn't help but pity him, wondering what he might have gone through.

She sighed before covering him with a duvet and closed the door, without locking it and then walked out of the restaurant, before heading home.

** The next morning **

Layla was on her way to the restaurant, to check on the beggar she had left there yesternight, the restaurant was just some miles away from her apartment where she lives with Mirah.

She was afraid that the supervisor could come to the restaurant anytime and could find out she had hid someone in there.

She was finally inside, she rushed into the mini room and the door was wide open, he must have left.

She met no one inside and made to leave but her eyes caught a paper.

She took it and *THANKS* was written bodly on it, along with a cell phone number.

She smiled, glad that the beggar was okay.

Chapter 02

Layla finally got home and sighed, still thinking about yesterday.

Could she ever get away from the supervisor?, He wouldn't stop till he achieved his goal!.

She can't succumb to his request, not at all!, But she's scared of what he could do, he could force himself on her!.

" Hey, are you okay? " Mira asked and she nodded.

" How about we go out?, to have fun? " She asked and Layla had a quick thought about it, before finally agreeing, and with that, they both left the apartment.

***

These two were finally back from their outing when Layla's phone beeped

* Her father had been admitted in the hospital *

These two rushed out again as they found their way to the hospital.

* A hospital in the Nothern part of the Town *

" Sir, that's a lot of money " Mirah complained , they're currently in the doctor's office, and after diagnosing Layla's father, they found out that his illness had gotten worse and he would need lots of money for his treatment.

" I mean, that's twice our life time savings, Is there a thing we could do?, Please sire, we can't afford that, it's much " Mira pleaded.

" It's your fault!, I administered certain drugs to get for him, but you didn't heed to this, and now it's gradually becoming worse, I hope it doesn't get to the final stage when it wouldn't be curable! " He said and Mirah gasped before turning to Layla, who was staring blankly at nothing.

She has lots of things going on in her head right now, first, it's her being bothered about her university tuition fees, now it's her dad's treatment fees, could her life get worser than this?.

She knew her mom wouldn't had bought all those drugs administered to them then, as she kept saying it was okay and they didn't want to bother her, and now it's almost getting to the last stage!, She hoped his dad would be fine.

* At Mr Lawrence Ward *

" Mom, everything will be fine, I'll get enough money to pay for his treatment, I'll find a way " Layla finally said to her mom while Mirah consoled her.

" WE'll,, find a way " Mira corrected Layla as she glared at her.

" Am just worried, I know everything will be fine, I don't want you two to worry too much, you should be worried about getting money to pay for your university fees instead, I have some money that could be enough, all you need to do is add little to it, and everyone will be fine " Ella said and Layla scoffed.

" No, I have enough money to take care of it, you shouldn't worry at all " Layla said and signalled to Mirah to stand.

" Mom we'd leave now " Mirah said and bowed lightly and followed Layla who had walked out.

* * *

* The girl's apartment *

" You think he's gon' give you? " Mirah asked and Layla sighed.

" I don't know, I don't have any other option now " She replied sighing deeply.

She was planning on meeting the supervisor for advanced payment, and he had asked her to meet him in at an exact location he had sent to her.

" I'll be fine " Layla assured as she pecked Mirah's cheek before walking out of the apartment.

She took a cab to the location he had sent her and was shocked at where she was.

She was standing in front of an hotel, it was one of the biggest hotels in town.

Why did he invite her here?.

She thought about leaving but then decided against it, all she has to do is collect the money and then leave.

He wouldn't try doing anything, right?.

She sighs deeply before making her way into the building, she met with the receptionist at her office, who directed her to the room the supervisor was.

She got to the room and read the label on the door, * Room 50 *.

She knocked gently at the door and after some seconds, the door switched open by itself.

She entered slowly and the loud bang of the door closing by itself had her shrink.

She gasped silently and turned swiftly as she heard some movements behind her.

And there was the supervisor, clothed in robes only with this playful smirk and flirty smile on his lips.

He was finally going to get down with her, whether she wants it or not.

" Take off your clothes " He commanded and her heart almost flew off.

" Sir?... " She asked to ensure if she had heard the right thing.

" You want me to help you? " He asked, moving closer while she moved back a bit.

" Sir... I'm here for the money.. not for this.. " She stuttered and he smiled lightly.

" Ofcourse, you would get what you want, only after I get what I want " He said, staring all over her lustfully while she shivered in fear.

She knew something like this might happen, but she can't give in, right?.

She can't lose her virginity now, she's still a young lady.

" Sir, I'm.. sorry.. am not here for this... I.. " She was cut off as he suddenly held her hand forcefully and pushed her roughly on the bed while she yelled in fear..

" Help! " She screamed, hoping someone could hear her but he scoffed and began loosing his robe with his other hand while the other one pinned her hands above her head while she struggled to break free and he was finally naked in front of her.

She shivered at the sight and tried to break free, Was she going to lose her virginity in a cruel way?.

He got on top of her, pinning her tightly while she struggled to break free, yelling continuously but that was fruitless, the room was soundproof.

He tried yanking her top off but she bit his hands so hard and he released her immediately as he groaned in pain, she kicked his d*ck that was dangling in front of him and he fell to the floor in pain.

She grabbed her bags and rushed out of the room.

" Guards! " He called and they rushed in immediately.

" Get her! " He yelled and some of the guards ran after her while some waited to attend to him.

Layla ran with all her strength with numerous guards behind her.

She was lucky to escape from the security standing by the gate before they could noticed she was escaping.

As she rushed out, she was suddenly stopped by a car, it was a luxurious car.

Out of zeal to escape, she didn't think twice before entering the car and the car sped off while the guards retired and watched as they drove her off.

Chapter 03

" Gosh " Layla muttered, trying to catch her breath as the driver drove her off.

She wasn't in her right mind as she kept thinking about what could have happened if she hadn't escaped, he could have raped her.

The thoughts of her losing her virginity as a result of rape sent shivers down her spine.

Then, it striked her, where was she?.. whose car is she in?, Where are they headed to?, Is she being kidnapped?.

She turned swiftly and her eyes trailed up as the figure beside her was so tall.

He had this cold and blank expression on and that made her heart race in fear.

Are they kidnappers?, She noticed they were two, and there was another driver driving them to an unknown destination.

" Sir... " She called in a broken voice, she had lost her voice.

The huge and hefty man turned to her and she swallowed nothing down her throat.

" I'm sorry, but I don't know you.. I'm sorry for entering your car, Could you please drop me here? " She asked, trying not to show how scared and nervous she was.

" It's fine ma'am, we meant no harm.. out boss ordered us to bring you to him " He replied, politely.

" Boss? " She thought inwardly.

She wanted to say a thing but it got stuck in her throat as she was scared, things could go wrong.

Throughout the rest of the drive, she kept hoping, she was save and not in some kind of danger.

___

" Please, get down ma'am " The guard said again, after informing her about their arrival to the destination, but she sat still.

She was scared, where were they taking her to?.

" It's fine ma'am, I promise " The guard said again with an assuring smile and she nodded gently before sluggishly alighting from the car.

Words got stucked in her mouth as she stared unbelievably at the building.

Where was she, she kept on staring at the magnificent and gigantic mansion in front if her as they guided her inside the mansion.

" Please wait here ma'am, he will be here soon " The guard said and she nodded slowly, tho all that was in her head at that moment was her safety.

She was about sitting when she heard footsteps of someone descending the stairs and she raised her head immediately.

She watched as he descended down the stairs egoistically, carrying his shoulders up perfectly, his thick black hair shone brightly beneath the light of the chandelier, his flawless skin seem to be the most graceful thing in his body, but when she beheld his face, she was forced to rebuke herself for thinking that in the first place.

Seeing his small heart-shaped lips, the sudden urge to explore it rushed through her, but that is going to be the biggest mistake of her life, her eyes traveled to his pointed nose, and she couldn't help the goosebumps that popped up on her skin.

She watched every step he took, the ground he walks on, praising him gracefully for touching them, and as he finally got to her front, that was when she got a better view of his deep blue eyes, and she froze on her spot, until realization hit her!.

He was the beggar!.

Wait, How's he the beggar, he doesn't look like one, had she mistaken him for someone else?.

He was finally closer to her and he smiled lightly.

" Please sit down " He offered, it was then she realized he was someone familiar.

The Millionaire!, Shane Kent,The man whose wedding would be taking place that week at their restaurant.

What was she doing in his house?, Why did he bring her here?.

" Here sir " She hears another manly voice and turned to the direction the voice came from.

It was a man neatly dressed in suit, with a document on hs hands, she watched as he handed it over to Shane Kent.

The man noticed her and bowed lightly while she did the same.

" Hi, am Claus " He introduced himself and Layla smiled lightly.

" Layla... "

" Layla Brown " He completed for her and she raised her brow, how the hell did he know her full name?.

" Ahem " Shane cleared his throat and they both turned to him.

" Let's move straight to the point " He stated, his attention focused on Layla.

He had studied her appearance while she had chatted with Claus, she looked like a gentle and nice lady. She wasn't dress to kill as she looked simple, she wasn't wearing any makeup except from the light blush on her cheeks.

She looked nervous, ofcourse he noticed, who wouldn't.

" You must be aware about who I am? " Shane asked and she nodded slowly.

" Shane Kent " She replied and he nodded in approval that she was right.

" You must be wondering why you're here? " He asked and she nodded with a light smile.

He motioned to Claus to take over.

" Miss.., as you must be aware that he's to get married this week, which the event will be taking place at the restaurant where you work " He began and Layla was a bit suprised, how they knew all this

" Well... " He trailed off and glanced at Shane, as if looking for approval before talking.

" My fiancee left " Shane blurted out instead and her eyeball almost left her socket.

" What!? " She blurted out before she could say a word and covered her mouth immediately, Shane chuckled at her reaction and she felt lowered her head in embarrassment.

Why did she react that way when it isn't even her business?.

Maybe 'cause she was just suprised, how could she leave when it's just some few days to their wedding.

" So.. Why are you telling me this?... " She found herself asking.

" Cause... "

" Cause I want you to be my bride " Shane cut Claus off.
