Billionairee's Obsession

"Ding , ding ding", the door bell rings

"Coming", Joyce answered from the inside, removed the apron she was wearing before walking to the door barefooted.

"Oh, what an august visitor", Joyce exclaimed after opening the door.

"How may I help you, Mr Taylor?", Joyce folded her arms across her chest, leaning on the door casually without any intention of letting the man in.

"You're not even going to allow me in?", Mr Taylor chuckled.

"Opening the door and listening to you is already the greatest form of honor for an animal like you".

"Y..ou, you unfilal bastard",Mr Taylor stammered totally enraged,his chest heaving up and down in anger.

"Well,Mr Taylor it would be better if you go home to your wife and daughter,I don't want my peaceful life to be disturbed"Joyce replied nonchalantly.

"Do you know why you and your mother ended up being a pitiful creatures, that's because you're stubborn and people like that always ends up being lonely for the rest of their lives and even in death, just like your mother, and am afraid you might end up just li. . ",Mr Taylor roared angrily but was interrupt by a slap from Joyce whose eyes was bloodshot.

"Yes, just because we don't know how to cry and play the pity card by acting coquettishly or playing victims,we must suffer.and besides when did you expect her to do that, was it when you had an affair before your marriage and even continue after being married?,or was it when you threw us out of the house?, Joyce bellowed angrily disgust and resentment evident in her tone.

"I don't bloody care",he replied coldly stuffing an invitation card in her hands and leaving immediately.

Joyce closed the door and collapsed helplessly on the sofa, trying to sort her emotions together.

"Don't bother with them, you're just going to attend grandmother's birthday, you can do this", she chanted in her mind.

The birthday was to take place in a five stars hotel, Joyce arrived there just in time, the room was already bustling with activities.

Upon seeing her grandmother, she was filled with nostalgia for those old days, those old days when they lived together as a happy family, those old days when there was no stepmother nor stepsister, just her and her parents living happily and harmoniously.

"Happy birthday grandmother",she wished giving the present she brought with her to her grandmother who smiled happily in return.

"You cheeky little thing,I thought you had forgotten me", Joyce grandmother pouted.

"Of course not grandmother,I was just busy with work", she smiled.

"Hmmph, this old hag is so ungrateful, we've been here since and she's been acting all snobbish but once Joyce arrived she started smiling like a fool, isn't that an insult to us",a woman in her early forties scoffed.

"Mom don't worry, Joyce is my stepsister afterall ,I'll surely treat her well",the lady beside her smirked sinisterly.

Joyce excused herself to allow her grandmother to chat with her old friends.feeling exhausted, she walked to pick up the nearest glass of wine from a server and gulped it down in a go not noticing the server's sinister smile.

After some minutes she started feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

"Hey could you help me pass a message across to grandmother that am leaving,I feel a little weak and dizzy,so I'll take my leave", she said to a waiter.

"You can head upstairs ma'am, some of the rooms have been booked for the birthday party, to allow some tired guests to rest it's on the right side upstairs". the server explained and Joyce agreed heading upstairs.

"Miss Rose, it's all done"the server whispered closely under the guise of serving drinks before leaving.

"Oh oh oh , my dearest stepsister, enjoy yourself", Rose smirked,her lips tilting into a mischievous smirk.

Upstairs.

Joyce wandered up the stairs with a lot of effort.

"Left or right, left or right", she mumbled tipsily."oh it's the left". she mumbled inaudibly staggering into the first room by the left and she collapsed on the bed.

Joyce woke up the next day surprised to find herself in an unfamiliar room, her body littered with several marks and bruises, her body sore and numb as if it had just been torn apart.

She covered her mouth to stop herself from screaming and lifted the blanket, upon seeing the blood on the bed, she was shocked, she clearly knows what it means.

She decisively got up from the bed, gathered her messy clothes from the floor and wore it.she staggered to the door and was about to open it when she heard a voice.

"Thank goodness, the sleeping beauty has finally awoken", Joyce was shocked by the voice and she turned around to find an extremely handsome guy standing just behind her,he was draped in a navy blue bathrobe, holding a towel and wiping his hair."are you going to leave after taking advantage of me, leaving me to pay the bills alone",he smiled, moving closer to her like a predator that was eyeing his prey.

"Don't you dare come closer", Joyce threatened, swinging her shoulder bag rapidly to scare him."if you come closer,I might really hit you,hehehe, don't blame me then,am a very violent person".

As she was swinging the bag, the lock opened and everything in the bag poured onto the floor, she hurriedly bend down and packed all the scattered items on the floor, and immediately she packed all the items she opened the door and fled.

"What an interesting lady", the man exclaimed and was about to head back to the bathroom but he saw a card sticking out from under the bed.

Curiously he walked over and picked it up, and it turns out to be her ID card.

"This is getting more and more interesting, Joyce Hilton am coming for you, just wait and see, you're going nowhere",he exclaimed excitedly and carefully placed the card on the bedside table smilingly before he headed back to the bathroom.

She immediately hailed a taxi when she walked out of the hotel, sighing in relief.

The first thing she did as she got home was to bathe herself thoroughly, totally mad at herself, she had just lost her virginity due to her own stupidness,she scrubed herself until her skin almost peel.

Finally, she left the bathroom dressed in a blue pyjamas.she entered the bedroom only to find a man sitting comfortably on her sofa, his back against her.

Frightened, she picked up the rod behind the door and walked over with light footsteps.

Suddenly the man turn around and she let out a yelp, running to the door filled with terror.

"What a scaredycat, weren't you being so confident just now", the man chuckled.

She turned back and was surprised to find that it was the man at the hotel.

"You.. bastard, what are you doing here?, how did you even get in?", she yelled in surprise.

"I couldn't pay the bills alone, so I split it into two...",he was interrupted by Joyce before he could finish his sentence.

"With your looks,so you can't pay such a little amount of money,tch, tch".

"Here, take a look at the bills",he said and immediately she saw the figure in the bill, she was stunned and immediately threw it away.

"You, you, why don't you just go and rob a bank instead, how on earth could I afford such a huge amount of money, you've got to be kidding, aren't you a man, expecting a woman to pay the bills".

"That's just all I have to say I've filled in your information, just in case",he stated calmly moving closer to her.

"Have you lost it?, how could you?, how did you even get in?, somebody help". she screamed.

"Even if you scream till next tomorrow,as long as am here, nobody dares to come in, how about this, let's do it this way, how about you sell yourself to me, be my personal maid, it done like that in the movies right",he smirked.

The shrill sound of a slap rang out in the air.

"How dare you?, you actually dare to hit me,hehehe woman you have a death wish",he chuckled sinisterly."you can be as proud as you want,in three days, just three days,I must receive the money or else".he smiled meaningfully before leaving the room".

"She actually dare to hit me",he thought as he walked down the stairs but unfortunately he collided into a young guy carrying two shopping bags, and the guy's cellphone fell down due to the impact. as soon as he saw the wallpaper of his phone,he scrunched his brow in disgust.

"Tsk, tsk,it turns out that she prefers such girly guy".he mumbled and walked out of the apartment.

"Weirdo", the guy mumbled and walked up the stairs.

"Hey babe, how've you been?".he smiled brightly as he entered the room.

"Luke,am fine, you didn't inform me that you're going to drop by"Joyce smiled happily and embraced him.

"I'm not staying for long, just to drop some things over". Luke smiled."is there something wrong, your countenance doesn't seem good".

"I'm okay, just tired", she lied feeling guilty, she wanted to tell him what happened but didn't know where to start from, how could she tell him that she had defiled by another man.

"Alright then, rest early and take care of yourself".he smiled at her lovingly.

"Alright, goodbye", she smiled and accompanied him out of the apartment not noticing the silvers Maybach parked surreptitiously by the roadside.

The next day.

Tiffany corporation.

Standing in front of the huge towering building, she felt dignified, this was not any corporation, it's the most leading business company in the country, the economy status of the country depended on the corporation.

"It wasn't easy to get a job as a secretary here, looking at her face in the mirror,she straighten her dress once again and walked in.

"Here, this is your nametag,you'll be the secretary at the president office,you'll be assisting Mr Joe,Mr Joe's the president personal assistant and you'll be assisting him so you'll better be careful and dedicated, working at the president office isn't a plaything,and you must always abide by the rules and regulations", the head of the human resources department advised.

"Nice meeting you Miss Hilton, this is the president schedule,I'll be working at the other branch for the main time, so you'll be assisting me over here, you must be devoted to your job as the president does not tolerate laziness,at exactly 12 o'clock you must serve him a cup of coffee,he only drinks the one from bstwair cafe, you just have to place the order...".Mr Joe explained on and on.

"Ok sir, thanks for the advice".

It was indeed not easy working at the president office, many files was submitted for her to work on, those she had to crosscheck.

At exactly 12:59, the coffee she ordered was delivered, she straighten her dress massaged her stiff neck and walked to the office behind hers.

She knocked lightly and entered the office, she was welcomed by the sideview of the president's face.he was sitting on his swivel chair, with a frown on his face, she walked over with light footsteps and just as she was two steps away, the president turned back.

Seeing his face, she was so shocked that she mistakenly dropped the cup of coffee which shattered to pieces on the tiled floor.

"You", the president muttered looking at her in awe.

Damn, it turned out to be the psycho at the hotel, how come she never noticed his extremely attractive features,as handsome as a greek god and she continued staring at him infatuatedly lost in his eyes.

"You can drool all you want, just remember to close your mouth",he chuckled, waving his hands in her face and she quickly regained her composure, looking at him warily.

"You... you are the president?", she stuttered incoherently.

"Yes, what do you think?, your first day at work you spilled coffee on a confidential document, you sure are professional aren't you?",he said coldly moving closer to her with a cold gaze.

"Yes, what do you think?,on your first day at work, you spilled coffee on a confidential document, you really are professional, aren't you?",he said coldly moving closer to her with a cold gaze.

"I..I", she stuttered moving backwards warily totally frightened by his cold and chilly aura.

"It's alright,here make sure to retype these documents, words for words and it must be submitted today ',he tossed the files down in the middle of the table.

"Alright", she dared not complain, she could only curse him under her breath.

Even in her wildest imagination, she could never expect him to be her boss. Fate is indeed unpredictable. she reluctantly picked up the document that walked out of the office .

she ended up working overtime as she watched the other staff leaving the office by 6 o clock she couldn't help but cursing him. it was 7:30 by the time she got home.

The next day at work was even more hectic, at exactly 12:00 she entered the president office with the cup of coffee and some document that needed the signature.

she dropped the coffee and the files on the table waiting for him has he was on a call.he answered the call whilst looking through the documents she submitted, twirling the pen through his fingers with impressive dexterity.

"What's my schedule for today?" he asked immediately he ended the call.

"A meeting with president Hue at 1 o'clock,a visit to the construction site, an inspection at the newly-opened mall in the in the city centre and the dinner with Mr Holmes at 6:00" she replied professionally.

"Make the reservation at the restaurants and prepare the document needed for the meeting", he ordered strictly.

Fifty minutes later they arrived at the restaurant, Mr Hue was already waiting in the private room .

She remain standing beside him while you discuss about the deal.admist their conversation Mr Hue kept staring at a lustfully making her feel uncomfortable.

" Joyce Hilton", Mr Hue smiled reading her nametag "a beautiful name for a pretty woman".

"Uhh, thank you sir", Joyce replied awkwardly.

"How about this Lucas,you give her to me and the profits would be seventy: thirty instead of sixty: forty"Mr Hue suggested and she was surprised.

"Weren't they talking about business, is he really going to offer me just for a 10% gain" she thought.

An amused grin crossed Lucas lips "you sure don't know how business is done no wonder after two months your company doesn't have a good project ,I don't engage in underhand deals and I deal with serious minded people".

"You are insulting me because of the mere secretary ,you sure don't know what suits you"Mr Hue bragged.

"Do what you see fit and spare me your useless theories", Lucas replied nonchalantly."your company is on the losing side and you are the one who needs to gain a foothold but to me it's just any contract so now get lost.

"You ..you're discarding the...."

"Would you go out willingly or would you like to be escorted" Lucas interrupted coldly and Mr Hue walked out hesitantly with a grim expression.

"Let's have lunch", there's still time",he said to her calmly.

"What ab..."

"If I say there is time, then there is time ",he cut her off coldly and she had no other choice but to join him.

The two of them sat there eating in silence.

"What about what I told you?", he suddenly asked out of the blue.

Joyce choked on her food surprised by the sudden question "what was that?"she asked feigning ignorance.

"You can pretend to be ignorant but tomorrow I want an answer ,am not a patient person and besides I have thousands of ways to make you fall on your feet and crawl back to me"he stated calmly.

After lunch the both headed to the city centre to inspect the newly launched mall and later in the evening the both visited the construction site at the western side of the city.

As Lucas was discussing with the architect in charge,Joyce was jotting some important notes,he turned to her to ask a question but then he heard a whizzing sound,he looked up only to see a concrete block hurtling towards her head.

All thanks to his quick reflex,he was able to pull away but unfortunately for him he was unable to duck and the concrete block rammed into his shoulder and his white shirt was immediately stained with blood.

His guards immediately surround the entire area, after giving some orders Joyce and his chauffeur walked him to the car .

After few minutes the car pulled up at a residential estate.

"Shouldn't we go to the hospital first,why are we here ",she had worriedly.

"It's okay, the doctor is waiting for me already don't be so worried", he smiled.

When they got inside Mr Joe and the doctor was already waiting for their arrival and the doctor immediately got to work.

After some few minutes, the doctor exit the room.

"Thank goodness it was not a deep wound but he has to rest and take the medicines I prescribed and his wound must not come into contact with water and the gauze must be changed every morning and night".

"Okay doctor,thank you". Mr Joe escorted the doctor out leaving the two of them alone,she stared at her fingers and the room was filled with an awkward silence.

"Pass me the water",he ordered and she immediately passed him the water staring at his left hand which was wrapped with a gauze.

It was already past working her, to she wanted to tell him she was leaving but didn't know how to broach the topic after all he had gotten injured in her stead.

"You are not thinking of leaving are you?, am already like this because of you this little heartless creature want to leave dream on",he scoffed. She was surprised that you could tell what she was thinking about just then Mr Joe entered.

"Miss Hilton, could I trouble you to please take over and take care of the president,I would have stayed over but I have a flight to catch in the next thirty minutes due to the company related issue and it can't be cancelled".

"Alright, don't worry sir", she agreed unable to turn him down.

After eating the dinner she ordered, she help them change the gauze as advised by the doctor.

"About what I said I'll be expecting your answers tomorrow ",he suddenly called out as she was about to leave his room.

"Mr Lucas, my answer will and always be no".

"It's because of him right",he asked

"It's good that you even know that I have a fiance, even if I don't I will never stoop low,so do as you see fit",she replied as she left the room.

"Of course, I'll do as I see fit".
