Mr Billionaire's Angel

Latia's POV

"Here you go, Mrs. Evan," I handed her the bouquet of red roses.

"Thank you so much, Latia," she lifted the roses up to her nose and began to take in the smell and then I noticed her giving me a wrinkly smile. "You wrap the flowers the best, Latia. Just the way I wanted and Grandpa loves it too, I hope he will love it," she said.

I sat her down on a chair and handed her a cup of caramel tea,"Yes I am 100% sure that Mr. Evan will love it and who knows he might give a kiss in addition," I said with a smirk.

"You think so he will give me a kiss too," she asked with a slight blush on her cheeks.

"Of course he will. You will see later," I assured her. I walked back to the counter area and began to clean the mess but not before telling her to drink her tea,"Grandma, drink your tea now or else it will get cold and you don't like it cold right."

"Umm yes, I don't," she replied happily and began to sip her tea.

Oh yes, Mrs. Evan here is my grandmother, my mom's mother and Mr. Evan is my grandpa, my mom's father, who are way too adorable. They are the best grandparents I could ever have, they are the only ones who are left in my life. After coming out from the hell hole, I am so much happier with my grandpa and grandma. I am able to recover not fully but as compared to past years, I am absolutely better.

I don't know what would have happened if they didn't come at that time. I still remember very clearly that day when she put that knife inside my left thigh, I remember how she kicked my side and I had to stay in the hospital for broken ribs. I still remember how she always broke in my room to kill me, I still remember how she spat those cursed and horrifying words. Wahhh I can't believe how I escaped every time when she broke into my room!!

Beating me, kicking me, breaking me, and sending me to the hospital-those didn't hurt me as much as compared to those words, which still have a serious effect on me. Those words keep coming back in my head every time, and that scene that took place always comes up in my dreams...

Ting ting...

I hear the doorbell chime,"Welcome to Ro..." my words got stuck in my throat, and when my eyes met those blue orbs, I was mesmerized by those pair of blue orbs. My eyes scanned his full features: his tall frame, his broad shoulder, his black hair, and his delicious red lips. Oh, how I wish I could... Shut up. What are you saying, Latia? Get a grip of yourself...

I kept on ogling at him until my grandma spoke and brought me back to reality, saying,"Welcome, how can we help you?" she walked towards me and gave me a smile, no more like a smirk since she saw me checking out this handsome man... no more like a God.

Mr. Handsome man/God looked around, and I kept staring at him until his manly, husky, and deep voice rang in my ear. "I'd like to take those pink tulips," he said, and he began to look around again.

Grandma nudged my elbow; I turned towards her in confusion, then back to handsome, and he was staring at me as well, like grandma. Then I remember the tulips; Mr. Handsome wants tulips. I hurriedly make my way, but as I make my way towards the tulips section, I nearly trip and fall down, but nonetheless, I didn't.

I took out those pink tulips from the bucket and walked towards the counter to wrap them for Mr. handsome. I saw him scrolling through his phone while rubbing his perfect jaw. I shook my head, walked towards the counter, and began to wrap those hundred pieces of tulips.

After a few minutes, I was done wrapping but not stealing glances of him every second. "Umm, excuse me, handso- I mean, Sir, your bouquet is ready." I voiced out to him. He looked up from his phone towards me, and our eyes met again.

I felt a sparkle erupt all over my body when his blue orbs met my green ones. He walked towards me, and I felt like with every step he took, my heartbeat became faster, faster, and faster, like thub thathub... Thub...

I gulped from nervousness. His presence gave me sparkles inside, and at the same time, it made me small too because he is like 6 feet tall while I am 5'4". He also has this aura of authority, which makes me even more scared.

But nonetheless, he is Freaking a Greek God...

He handed me his black card. I took the card with a shaky hand and smacked myself internally for being nervous. I swiped the card in the machine, and as I lifted my head to see his beautiful sculpted face, I was stunned for a second because he was staring at me intently, but then he broke our eye contact and took the flowers before walking out of the shop.

I kept my eyes on him until he got inside his luxurious car and sped off from the parking area.

"Close your mouth, sweety," Grandma said with a mischievous grin as she sipped on her tea. I closed my mouth, which I didn't know was open.

Oh no!! Was my mouth open the whole time when I was checking him out?

But who cares? It's not like we are going to cross paths again.

And why in the world is grandma giving me that mischievous grin? Is she thinking something unholy again?

I gave a last glance before my thoughts went back to those.

Blue orbs....

Latia POV

I look at myself in the mirror once again, checking my outfit. I had put on a pink lace tank top with blue skinny jeans and a skinny saddle. I turn left and right to check myself for the last time before I walk out.

Feeling satisfied, I grab my tote bag and walk out of my room, down to the living room, where I meet with a glaring Casendra, my one and only best friend. "Hey Cassy, I am sorry," I said. She didn't utter a word; she just stood there with her arm crossed over her chest.

Oh no. I am so done today. She is so freaking angry. Again, I walked towards her with a nervous smile and just stood in front of her. "You are late again, freaking 20 minutes." She finally opened her mouth but still had the glare. Oh, and the glare she gives, it gives me a chill sometimes. Also, she is among those people who follow time, like punctuality, unlike me.

"Yes, I know I am so sorry. I won't be late next time." I apologized and made puppy eyes, and on seeing that, she just let out a heavy sigh and shook her head. "Come on, let's go. Also, you have been saying that ever since we were in college, but I hardly see you next time." She mumbled the last part, but I heard it clearly.

I clung my arm around her before nodding my head. "So which mall are we handing to?" I asked as we walked out of my house.

Yes, my house. I live alone in this two-story house with two bedrooms, one kitchen, and a living room. It's the perfect house for myself, and yes, the best part of the house is the backyard, my lawn, which has a small garden, and I love that area. My grandparents presented it to me on my 23rd birthday, and I am so overwhelmed by their gesture.

I refused at first the idea of living here by myself, but my grandma was like, You might need some space for some fun time. I was dumbstruck because I got what she meant by fun time, but nonetheless she got a point. I refused at first the idea of living here by myself, but my grandma was like,"You might need some space for some fun time." I was dumbstruck because I got what she meant by "fun time," but nonetheless she got a point there. Yes, I need some space for myself, not for anything she was referring to, but just for myself.

I got in Casendra's car, and we drove off to the mall. About 10 minutes later, I finally open my mouth to tell her about the encounter with those blue orbs, no, Mr. Greek God,"Cassy, you know, last Thursday, I met... I met a Greek God walking in the shop," I told her excitedly. She raised her eyebrow with a smirk. "A Greek God, spill it out, girl, everything. I want every little detail," she said as she kept her eyes on the road.

I turned my body towards her, settling myself comfortably before starting,"Okay, you see, I was cleaning the waste, and then boom, a Greek God entered through the door of my flower shop; he was about 6 ft tall..." I was interrupted by her,"Yeah, half of your height," she chuckled. I smacked her arm, "Ouch, sorry, go on," and she gestured with her hand for me to continue.

"Okay, so like he has this broad shoulder and sexy perfect jaw, I also think... I do not think, I am damn sure that he has a perfect body as well since his feature said it all, he also has perfect lips too, and his hair, oh God, I wish I could run my hand through those black hair," I narrated, and Cassie let out a chuckle. "Oh, so my dear best friend finally found someone who interests her, uuuhooo," she hooted and lifted up her right hand.

"Yeah, and you know what the best part is?"

"What? "

"His eyes, his gorgeous blue eyes, I love those," I said dreamily. "His blue eyes?? "she asked.

I nodded, "Yes, his blue eyes that move my heart away and when those eyes meet my eyes, my heart got accelerated... like thub thubthub," Cassy began to laugh,"You and your thub thub heartbeat," she said in mid of her laugh.

I let out a laugh too. "Yes, but seriously, when he looked at me, something exploded inside me, and I couldn't help myself from stealing a glance at him every time." I said truthfully,"I wish I could meet him again."

"You will, Latia, and finally you found someone who seems to interest you," she assures me,"but now we have to go shopping and then to the club," she reminds me, and then we drive away.

30 minutes or so later, we reached the mall and began to go through every shop. I brought myself two pairs of straight-cut jeans, three tank tops, a two-piece sexy satin night dress, and an oversize tee-shirt.

I was looking around the dress section when my eyes landed on a beautiful white knee-length flowy dress. I took it and was admiring myself when I heard Cassy's voice say,"Try it," I turned around to see an excited Casendra. "What?" I asked with my wide eyes.

"Try it, though I know it will look good on you, she said with a smile. I look at her and then at the dress, debating whether to try it or not. "But Cassy, you know right?" I was held in the midsection when she came and squeezed my shoulder. "Latia, no one will look at you or judge you, and I am here for you. I will kick anybody ass off who tries to say and look down at your beauty," she said. I scrunched my face over her words before I walked inside the trail room, but not before letting out a,"Yeah yeah yeah yeah."

I placed the dress over the mirror and began to strip off. I saw my scars on my ribs and my waist, and the longest scar mark was on my left leg, which started from my thigh to my shin. I still remember the night.

Flashback

She placed the tip of the knife on my thigh and pressed it inside, draining blood from my thigh. "You like that, you bitch," I screamed out as she pressed the knife further inside my thigh.

"Please plea...."I let out another scream as she dragged the knife from my thigh to my knee,"You bitch because of you; it's all because of you. She let out a laugh before going further down till my shin. I cried and pleaded for her to stop, but she never did. And continue to drag the knife down, cutting my leg open.

Flashback end...

I shook my head and wiped my tears. She is not coming back, Latia, she is not coming back, I said to myself, letting out a deep sigh.

I put on the white knee-length dress and admired myself. I was kind of feeling uneasy with my scars, but I sucked them in all inside before walking out. As I came out, Casendra showed me a thumbs up and blew a whistle: "Girl, you look sexy as hell; if I were a guy, I would have taken you right here." My eyes grew wide and my cheeks felt hot when she said that.

"Shh... Cassy, what are you saying? And lower your voice; everybody is staring at us." I scolded her, and my face was heating up. She let out a loud laugh again.

I shook my head and rushed inside the dressing room.

After doing a bit more shopping, Cassy reminded me that we were going to the club. I was uneasy to go, but when she told me that it was one of her elder brothers clubs and I didn't know which one since she has two brothers, I met the second brother but not the eldest one. Cassy told me that her oldest brother doesn't stay at home and he is quiet busy, more of a workaholic, and above all, she said that he stays at his own house and hardly visits his parents.

"Which brother?" I ask as I get dressed. I put on my white bodycon dress that reaches till my mid-shin and has a slit on the right side that reaches just above my knee. I tied the straps on my back before slipping on a white heel.

"My oldest brother is in town right now; he just came back last week and told me that he might come by at the club tonight," she answered me as she put on her make-up.

"Oldest brother..."

"Yes, did you look him up on the net? Wait, wait, you forgot." I nodded.

I shook my head and said,"I knew you would since you are a workaholic just like my oldest brother." I threw daggers on her back with my eyes. As if I am a workaholic.

"Yes, sorry, I forgot to check, but it's better to meet him in person than check him on the net, and FYI, I am not a workaholic; I just forget about the time sometimes when I start working, but it's not like I don't rest or enjoy myself," I replied as I applied my eyeliner.

"Yes, yes, true, you're done."

"Yes,"

"Let's go then and shake those sexy ass of yours," she shouted, pulling my hand and rushing out.

-----------------------------------

As we got inside the club, loud music began to draw in my ears. I walked in with Cassendra and went straight to the bar. As the bar tender saw Cassendra, he greeted her,"Hey Cas, long time no see."

"Yeah, how have you been? All good."

"Yes, everything is well," he replied.

She looked around the corners and then up to the VIP room. She kept her eyes there for a while before averting back to the man behind the bar. "Did my brother come?" she asked.

"Yes, the boss is here with his friends, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Portman. The boss was not in a good mood tonight," he said.

"Hmmm... Okay." Cassie nodded. I placed my hand on her shoulder. She turned towards me and gave me a smile. "You okay?" I asked since she seemed to be sad after hearing about her brother.

"Yes," she replied, placing her hand over mine. We smile at each other until we hear the bar Guy ask,"Okay, so what can I get for both of you?"

"Martini for both of us." Cassy ordered.

"Right up," he said before making our drinks.

I looked around the dance floor and saw people dancing, grinding, and kissing, but not eating each other's faces. Ewwww. I turn back to the bar, waiting for my drink.

Our drink was ready, and then in one shot, Cassendra gulped everything in. She let out a groan as she gulped down the liquid inside.

I smiled at her scrunched face and said,"You should slow down, you know," she shook her head, "its better to take it all in one go. Now is your turn," she said, grinning at me.

I looked at her, and she nodded her head, telling me to go for it. I raised my glass to my mouth and gulped everything inside; my throat was burning because of the strong liquid.

"That's my girl. Now let's dance before we go for another shot. She pulled me onto the dance floor. We dance together, and I dance like a crazy person, moving my hips and body at the same time and jumping.

As I danced, I began to loosen myself and start enjoying the beat of the music. I heard Cassy say that she would come now, but I didn't care as I was enjoying dancing alone. And as I was dancing, I felt a pair of hands on my waist. I leaned my back further onto that person and snuck my hands over his neck before moving my body. I felt the grip get tighter on my waist, and he bit on my ear lightly. I let out a soft moan. I left his hot breath on my ear, and then my eyes flew open when I heard the deep, manly, husky voice.

"Beautiful..."

Alexander's POV

This past few months, I have been so caught up with my meetings and work, which made me pissed after visiting my parents last week. It added fuel to my already pissed-off mood again with the topic of my marriage.

failedMy fhasly had been talking about this topic for the lyears, years which is making me moreangry, year after year. I don'twhat Iw whawill I get from this marriage-another heartache, another fail marriage. I told them clearly that I am still not ready for another marriage.

Marriage, marriage, marriage...

"Fuck..." I cursed out loud.

Wow,ywow,hrelax, an"Wow wow said. dude," Sam said,"What happened? Having internal battle with yourself?" he asked as he sipped on his drink.

"I bet his parents brought up the marriage talk again," Ray said.

sigh. I pour myself another drink and let out a deep sigh,"Fuck off both of you," I snarl before downing all my drinks.

"Yes, I think that's the reason, Ray," Sam said before chuckling. "What happened, man?" Ray asked.

I leaned back on the couch and let out a sigh," I finally agreed on the marriage, and they are coming tomorrow for lunch," I told them.

toWhen I told them, Sam spilled out his drinks from his mouth anstaredre at me like hadve grown twheads.d,"What? You finally agreed?" hasked,ed and he put his hand on my shoulder, squeezing it. I just stare at him in confusion before turning back on my glass, which is in my hand.

does,"Yes, I agreed to get married again with someone whom I don't yet,w yet and I don't care who the fuck is, but I just hope that she doesn't get in my way. If she does I don't know what will happen." I said it sternly and gulped my drink again.

Oh,Ssmiledile and said,"I am sure she won'becauseuse no one except knowsnow your hot tem, oh not forgetting about yofamily,ily and I am happy fyou,yman.n," I just shook my head at whatever he said. "Oh and I am coming tomorrow to your place for lunch as well," he added.

there;"Why? You don't have anything to do there why would you go there at his marriage meeting?" Ray asked.

Well, you know, Ray," he began and clung his arm around my shoulder before continuing,"I am also an important part of Alex's life, you know, I am his brother."

Yeah, right, brother," I said lowly and took a sip of my drink.

"Brother?" Ray asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes brother from different parents. So I must be there for him on his special day, So I am invited at his marriage meeting and to meet my soon to be sis-in-law," he finalised his word.

"Sis-in-law," I mumble and let out a dry chuckle.

I just shook my head and got up from the couch. "Dude, where are you heading to?" Ray asked.

"To find a good fu*k to get me through the night," I replied.

"Yes, you do need that because you are soon going to be stuck with one woman only," Sam said while chuckling.

I just gave him a last glare before making my way out. I walked out of the VIP room and down to the crowd, where I saw girls and boys dancing, kissing, and grinding on each other.

I scanned the room before making my way to the dance floor. I walked in among those horny people who were grinding and eating each other out. I walked further until I was standing in front of a girl in a white dress. She moved so sensuously, moving her hips left to right. I stood behind her; she was still dancing without any care. I placed my hands on her waist, pulling her towards me. I felt her tense for a second, but she relaxed and began to move her hips again.

Oh fuck!!

She sneaked her hands up around my neck and began to move her hips. I lowered my head near her ear and bit it softly. She let out a soft moan. I let out a breath before saying,"Beautiful, which made her stiff.

She just stopped dancing, and her hand slowly went down from my neck.She moved one step forward and slowly turned around. She stared at me with her two green orbs.

I felt her finger make its way on my face and touch my jaw and then lips. I stared at her as well; it seemed like she was trying to study my face.

Then, in a quick motion, she retracted her finger from my face before saying,"Sorry," and walking away.

I stood there, looking at her silhouette disappear in the crowd. I just stared at the direction for, God knows, how long, until I was snapped out of my thoughts by a blonde who started kissing my neck.

I tuck her hair back with my hand and stare at her, pulling her close to my body before smashing my lips against her.

I need this... ..

Latia's POV

I squeeze myself out of the crowd,searching for Casendra. I look around, and I see her talking with a blonde guy. I make my way towards her and cling onto her arm.

Latia, you were dancing with that Greek God, and How can you be so stupid, touching his perfect jaw, his lips?

Stupid Stupid...

"Stupid," I said to myself, but I guess Casendra heard it since she was looking at me and asked,"You alright?" I let out a deep and heavy breath, which I didn't know I was holding in. "Yes, I am," I replied, nodding my head and turning to the blonde Guy in front of us.

Oh, Latia, meet Sam, my brother's best friend, and Sam, meet my best friend, Latia." She introduces us to each other. Hello, Latia, nice to meet you," he said, offering his hand for a shake.

I took his hand and said,"Please let me meet you as well. I quickly retracted my hand from his hold.

"Alright, you ladies, enjoy; I've got to go now." With that, he left.

I just stared at his back until Cassy spoke,"Latia, I want to introduce you to my brother, but he already left, but he said that we will meet again this weekend," she said in a sad yet happy tone.

"You mean tomorrow?" I asked.

"Yes isn't that wonderful," she excitingly said while grabbing my arm tightly,"and more over some guest are coming over for dinner tomorrow but that is not our matter, we will just enjoy," I nodded my head and let out a dry chuckle.

I feel like something is going to happen again; something just doesn't feel right about the dinner.

"Do you want to go home? " she asked, and I shook my head, singing a No.

"All right, then let's go and drink!" she shouted. "Yessss!"

"Let's drink and get wasted tonight," she shouted. I shook my head and walked towards the bar along with her.

.......................

I cried out as she kicked my stomach hard. I let out a cough from the strong kick, and she kept on kicking me until my body turned numb.

She stopped, and I thought it was over, but then it wasn't. She has more to do. I felt my hair being pulled and was met with her face and the knife between us. I looked at her in terror. You know, Latia, this thing says that it wants to get inside your skin. Isn't that exciting? she said evilly.

"Plea...se leave..m...e ple..." Before I could utter any word, she dipped the knife in my left rib. I scream out loud...

"Nooooo... " I sat up straight on my bed,sweat dripping down from my forehead, I look around my room whether she is there or not but she wasn't, I exhale and inhale to steady my breathing.

After relaxing, I looked at the clock and saw it was only half past three in the morning, which means I only slept for four hours, and I know I am not getting any more sleep.

I removed my duvet, got out of bed, and walked down to the kitchen. Thank God, I don't have to search for the switch because I don't really close the light. I mean, in some rooms I do, but in my room, bathroom, and kitchen, I just leave it on since I really can't stay in a dark room after the horrible incident that took place four years ago.

I went down to the kitchen and made myself a cup of water before gulping.

I place the cup on the island and make my way to the fridge to grab a tub of ice cream. I took out the vanilla ice cream and made my way on the stool, I sat the ice cream on the island and took a big scoop and put it inside my mouth. I moaned out loud, devouring the sweetness and coldness of the vanilla.

"I really, really need this; thank you," I said to nobody but the ice cream.

This really helps me a lot when my panic and anxiety are building up.

I took another scoop and put it in my mouth, and I moaned out loud. I kept on eating until it was over. I took the last scoop and put it in my mouth.

I lick my lips and rub my stomach feeling full. "Yes, I am full now; thank you, ice cream." I said it again and placed a kiss on the empty tub before placing the tub in the collection of my ice cream tub.

After placing it, I walked to the living room and sat down on the couch, flipping the channel one after another, then stopped on my track when I saw the couple kissing. I sat myself straight and looked intently at the scene taking place. The couple is kissing passionately; their lips move in the same sync, slowly yet passionately.

I wonder how it feels to be kissed by Mr. Greek God. Will he kiss soft and slow like in this movie or be a bit rougher? I don't want it to be soft yet not so rough either. Then the realization hit me: I am dreaming about Mr. Greek God kissing me,"Oh holy moly, Latia, you need holy water to cleanse your dirty thoughts... But then how does it feel to be kissed? I asked myself.

Yes, I know I am acting like those teenage girls, but what can I do? I have never been kissed by anyone. I did have a boyfriend once in my senior year of high school, but I didn't have a chance to be kissed by him. So now, I am left with my thoughts and desire of being kissed and what it feels like to be kissed.

Then my mind goes back to those soft lips of Mr. Greek God, his perfect jaw, and more importantly, his blue orbs that keep staring at me intently with every move I make.

Mr. Greek God...
