Saved By The Married Billionaire

Samantha POV:

As I walked alongside the road, I felt strangely uncomfortable. Why was I feeling this way? I looked to my left and then to my right without pausing in my footsteps. I was too scared to look behind myself. What if things repeat themselves?

My not looking back did not put a stop to the inevitable. Here we go again. I felt his touch on my shoulder and I screamed. When I tried to run, he held me back.

"You owe me everything. You belong to me," he whispered creepily into my ear.

"Help!" I screamed but no one heard. Sometimes I wonder why I still scream. It's not like this hasn't happened to me before.

"Don't waste your time baby," he said to me.

Next, I saw myself and him in his room he kept his grip tight on both my arms as he secured my arms behind my back. He tore off my skirt.

"Now I will have you the way I want." his hot breath touched my ears, causing my skin to form goosebumps.

I felt something touch my ass, skin again skin and I screamed in fright. I woke up sweating like crazy on my bed and breathing heavily.

"What sort of dreams are these?" I asked myself.

Rita, my sister woke up beside me. She saw the state I was in and I knew she knows what just took place.

"That dream again?" Rita asked. I didn't answer.

"Did you at least see his face this time? I'm sure this is not ordinary. The person doing this must exist in real life." Rita said.

"That doesn't exactly make me feel better you know," I said to Rita.

"I'm just saying... How can the same dream keep repeating itself? It's been two weeks straight." Rita said.

"It's just a nightmare and that is what it will ever be," I told Rita,

"Okay," she said, not in complete agreement with me.

I got off the bed and went to the bathroom.

Standing in front f the mirror, I washed my face. Looking myself in the mirror, eyeball to eyeball, something in me said that Rita was right.

But then how could she be right? I mean, I haven't come across any man of that nature. I don't even have brothers who have friends I can hang out with so why this? Why this sort of nightmare?

The bathroom door opened and my heart skipped a beat.

"Mom?!" I exclaimed in surprise. I sighed in relief.

"Yes, it's me. Is everything okay? You've been so jumpy these past few days." Mom said to me.

"I'm completely fine," I told her.

"Are you sure?" she worriedly asked me.

"Yes, mom. Totally. I am okay." I answered.

"If you say so then." Mom said and made for the door.

I looked back in the mirror and saw my mom through it. She looked back at me before finally opening the door and leaving.

I let out a sigh of relief once more when I saw the door shut behind her.

I never mentioned my dream to my mother and I don't plan to do so any time soon. My sister and I are almost the same age but I am a year older than her.

She was and still is the only one I can share it with and feel comfortable doing so. I put the paste on my toothbrush and started to brush my teeth.

"Rita?! Come brush your teeth!" I said after spitting out the foam in my mouth.

"I'll be right there!" she replied from inside our room.

"Better hurry up so we wouldn't be late for work," I said and resumed brushing my teeth.

I spat it out then rinsed my mouth and toothbrush.

"Rita?!" I yelled at her.

"Fine! fine! I'll be out now." Rita said, putting her phone aside.

I entered the bathroom and this time Rita followed me.

While she started to brush her teeth, I took off my clothes and took a towel with me as I entered the bathtub and drew the curtains closed.

I turned the shower on and closed poured all over my face and body. I loved cold water in the mornings. It helps me calm down and feel refreshed.

After soaping and rinsing my body I finally came out of the tub and at the same time Rita went in, wrapped in a towel.

"Make sure you hurry up this time. I don't to be late for work. You know people like buying coffee at our cafe very early in the morning." I said to Rita.

"Sure. I understand," she said.

I left the bathroom and sat on our bed while applying cream to my body. Soon my sister came out and did the same. We put on our uniforms and headed out for work while mom stayed at home.

Our mother has a disability and isn't able to work. She and my father were caught up in someone else's accident. Dad's body, suspiciously, wasn't found in the car but mom on the other hand lost every feeling in her right hand and partially destroyed her eyesight in the right eye.

She was fired from her working place and no other jobs were given to her from any other place because of her state. That was about three years ago and thankfully I and Rita were of age to get jobs and earn for the family.

It was a miracle our home wasn't taken from us back then as we were scared. I have been secretly saving money to treat mom but the amount needed is so high that I'm not even near a quarter of the amount.

"Earth to Samantha." my sister said to me as I felt her hand on my wrist.

I jolted back into reality. "What?" I questioned her.

"You were about to walk passed the cafe. Where did you go?" Rita jokingly asked me.

"Never mind that. Let's go in before the boss gets here." I said to Rita.

I unlocked the door and we both entered the shop. Rita picked up a broom and started sweeping up while I wiped the tables and dusted off the chairs. Soon after, our boss entered the cafe.

"Good morning sir." Rita greeted him while I pretended not to have seen him.

Our boss, Mr. David, has been hitting on me for some days now but I pay him no attention and pretend not to notice cause if I let him know I see what he is doing then he will work his way into me. I am not ready to have an unwanted pregnancy.

"Good morning Rita. It's too bad your sister isn't as well behaved as you," he stated while I kept cleaning and tried my best to avoid eye contact.

Mr. David walked passed me and brushed his body on my butt as he stupidly reached for a jar.

I knew that the idiot had done that on purpose but I didn't make a fuss about it. I knew if I said anything then he'd get me to meet him in his office alone to talk.

All those times he asked for me in his office I always went in with my sister, hence not giving him any chances. After all, I didn't want to lose my job. Just Rita's salary will not be able to feed all three of us at home and pay bills at the same time.

If I get fired then I don't know what else I'd do.

"Don't mind me. I just have to get this jar." Mr. David said then used his left hand to pinch my butt. That made me stand up straight.

Even when I wasn't done cleaning that table I moved to the next just to make a distance between him and myself.

He got the jar, which I was sure he didn't even need, then went into his small room-sized office at the back.

"I'll be in my office if any of you girls need me." Mr. David said, with a change in his voice.

I and Rita finished cleaning up in no time and turned the sign on the door to the side that says "Open".

"Here we go again, sis. Are you ready to make some money?" Rita said, enthusiastically.

"Yeah, sure," I answered nonchalantly.

"I can't hear you," Rita said, putting her hand behind her ear as if listening for something.

"Yes, I am!" I exclaimed, almost laughing. I don't know where this girl always got such positive energy from.

We both stood behind the counter, waiting for our first customer to serve coffee. Soon the cafe was buzzing with people and all seats were filled. People who came after had to take the coffee to go.

A couple walked into our cafe. Not that couples don't usually come but these two people stood out. They had their hands crossed with the others and walked towards me while I readied myself to take their orders.

"Oh my God. Oh my God."I heard Rita saying.

"What is it?" I asked her.

Rita looked at me as if I just stepped on her foot. "What did you just ask me?" Rita asked and acted like she didn't hear me right.

"Don't you know who those two are?" Rita questioned. Before I could answer her, the couple was standing right before my eyes.

"Get us a table." the richly dressed woman ordered me.

"Excuse me?" I said.

I looked over at her husband but he stayed silent. He wore shades, which made it difficult for me to see his facial reaction to what his wife just said to me.

Is this what these rich people are like? Just because they look like a million dollars doesn't mean they can push others around.

"Sorry ma'am but there isn't any table left. As you can see, they are all taken." I replied.

"I know they are taken. I am not blind. Find me a table or else." the rich woman threatened.

I felt Rita nudging me with her elbow. "Just do as she says Samantha," Rita said, through gritted teeth.

I, of course, ignored Rita.

Mr. David walked out of his office and his eyes sparkled when he saw the couple in his cafe.

"Mr. and Mrs. Bruno. To what do I owe this sudden, yet wonderful, visit?" Mr. David asked.

"I heard this cafe was the best so I came here with my wife for coffee. So far it's been nothing but a huge disappointment." Mr. Bruno replied M.r David.

David's smile was immediately wiped off his face.

"What seems to be the problem, sir?" Mr. David asked.

"Your employee here is very unprofessional." Mr. Bruno said, referring to me.

I didn't even know when my mouth fell open at his words. I wasn't unprofessional. His wife was stupid and selfish.

"I am very sorry sir. The other one will serve you right." Mr. David said.

"No." Mr. Bruno stated. He turned his gaze to me.

"I want her to serve us throughout as our waitress as we sit and have coffee." Mr. Bruno said.

"Of course sir. As you wish." Mr. David agreed.

Great! Just great! Now I have become their servant.

"First order, Clear out a table for us." Mrs. Bruno said and grinned at me.

"Yes ma'am," I said.

I felt really bad chasing people away from the table but I didn't have a choice. I might get fired on the spot if I disobeyed.

"I'm sorry but this table is meant for special guests right now," I said to some people.

"What?" two from the group asked.

"You all have to leave the table," I said again.

"I can't believe this." one of them said.

"We paid to have coffee here and now we are getting chased out for someone else?" someone questioned.

They all started to complain as they got up and went for the door.

"I'm not coming back to this place ever again!" one yelled.

The table was finally cleared out and I gestured for Mr .and Mrs. Bruno to sit down.

"You don't expect us to sit down on such filth do you?" Mrs . Bruno said.

I felt my blood boil. "I'm sorry ma'am. I'll go clean it up." I said, putting on my best fake smile.

I took out a wipe and cleaned up the table then another to clean the seats. They walked passed me and sat down. Not even a thank you. How rude.

"I like my coffee with just a normal amount of cream and a bit of sugar." Mrs. Bruno said.

"Just get me plan coffee." Mr. Bruno added.

"Okay, I'll do that right away., I said.

It was only when I was preparing their coffee that I noticed how much attention was on the rich couple and how many people saw and heard all that happened.

I felt so embarrassed that I wasn't sure if I even wanted to come to work tomorrow. Just how influential are these people? I wish Rita had the time to tell me before I blurted out all those words.

"We are waiting!" Mrs. Bruno said. My mind came back to reality and I hurriedly took the tray with their coffee over to them.

I placed Mrs. Bruno's coffee in front of her. I was about to do the same with Mr. Bruno's but it hit against the tray and the damned hot coffee poured all over his suit and trousers.

"What the hell?!" Mr. Bruno exclaimed and took off his shades, revealing a drop-dead gorgeous face.

"Shit!" Mr Bruno exclaimed.

"What is wrong with you?! Can't you do this one simple thing?!" he yelled at me.

I felt my entire body shaking. "I... I..."

"You what?!" he shouted.

"You witch! You did that to him on purpose didn't you?!" Mrs . Bruno shouted at me. She helped her husband in cleaning the stains with her hankie.

"N... N..." I said. I kept wondering why my words weren't coming out of my mouth.

I'm sure as hell going to be fired now. In the middle of it all, Mr . David came out of his office once again because of the noise. Yes, people were watching and murmuring. Luck was not on my side today and I just stood there shaking and unable to utter a word.

"I want that girl fired!" Mrs . Bruno yelled at Mr . David.

I knew for Mr . David that the words of such people are always the final say and at that moment it was like the rate of my heartbeat dropped to zero. I forgot about my pride and whatever people might say and went on my knees.

"Please ma'am. Please don't do this. My family won't be able to survive if I lose my job." I cried, holding on to her. "Please," I begged.

"Get your filthy hands off me little brat! Mrs . Bruno exclaimed and yanked my hands off her dress.

"Please ma'am. I'll do anything. I'll do anything so you won't take this job away from me." I said to her.

"There is nothing a low-class girl like you could give me." Mrs . Bruno told me.

She turned to her husband who had already calmed down and had a straight face on. He put his glasses back on. "Let's leave this place. I need to change and I am already late for work." Mr . Bruno stated. He didn't even look my way and both he and his wife left the cafe.

They didn't even take the coffee and just left like that. I suddenly felt like they were sent here to make me lose my job. What am I supposed to do now?

I looked over at my sister who looked back at me with sorry eyes. I watched all around me and found people's gazes on me. Why was I even still here? I am no longer needed.

I stood up and ran out of the cafe in tears. I've messed up bad. Why didn't I just do as they had asked me to do in the first place and clear out a table? It wasn't my fault. I just didn't know who they were.

I'm so stupid!

I stopped at an alley and stood there to cry in peace. I felt an arm on my shoulder. I flinched then turned around. Thankfully, it was just Rita.

"Why are you here? You are supposed to be at the cafe. We can't risk you losing your job as well." I said, worriedly.

"Don't worry about that. I took permission from Mr . David to come after you. He is handling the cafe for some time." Rita replied.

"Are you okay?"

"Do I look okay? Why didn't you warn me? You should have told me who they were. I still don't know them till this very moment but they have successfully ruined everything. They cost me my job." I said.

"I tried to warn you but I didn't have the chance to do so. They hate people chattering nonsense about them, both upfront and behind their backs. Mr . Bruno is the billionaire and not his wife. She is just leeching off him. The only reason people respect her is that she is the wife of Mr . Bruno. He is a big businessman who runs a variety of businesses and that includes our cafe." Rita explained to me.

I cried even more and Rita held me close to herself. "I'm never getting that job back., I said.

"Everything will be fine. I'm sure you can find another job." Rita tried to calm me.

"But how?!" I yelled.

"Just calm down Samantha. I'll tell you what. Go home and rest. When I return from work this evening then we will think of something together." Rita said, holding on to my shoulders and looking straight at me.

"Okay... I'll be fine. You can go back now." I said to Rita, wiping away my tears.

"Are you sure?" Rita asked.

"Yes., I answered. "Now go., I added, pushing her away from myself.

"Okay., Rita said. "Just make sure you reach home safely., Rita said to me as she ran in the direction of the cafe.

I watched until she was out of my sight before finally turning in the other direction.

Mom will be disappointed for sure that I had lost my job but it wasn't my fault at all. I have to sneak passed her because I don't know where I'd start explaining.

I reached home and peeked through an open window. Mom was nowhere to be found. I took out my spare keys and unlocked the front door. After stepping inside, I locked the door behind me and tiptoed to mine and Rita's room. I closed the bedroom door and sighed in relief before finally collapsing on the bed.

"You're home early." I heard my mom's voice say. I immediately jumped off the bed in shock.

"Mom! I didn't see you there 1" I shouted, still surprised. My heart was racing so fast that I could hardly breathe.

I placed my hand on my chest and tried to calm myself down, breathing in and out slowly at first.

"So... what are you doing here mom?" I asked her.

"Nothing much. I just thought I might as well make myself useful around the house while you and your sister work," she explained.

"Why are you back so early?" mom asked me.

My eyes looked around nervously.

"I just had a headache. My boss said I was overworked and needed to return home to rest." I lied. It felt bad but felt like the right thing to do. I just couldn't bring myself to tell her.

Mom left the bedroom and I was left there on my own. I changed my clothes and took a bath then wore something different and lay in bed to think about my life.

The evening came and soon enough Rita was back home. All three of us had dinner together then I and Rita cleared the table, washed the dishes, and retired to our room.

"Did Mr David agree to the fact that I got fired by someone else?" I asked Rita, with a little bit of hope that he didn't do so.

"Unfortunately yes, he did," Rita answered.

I slumped unto the bed. "But..." Rita said.

"But what?" I sat up quickly to listen.

"Well... I don't know if you'll like it." Rita said.

"At this point, can I still make choices?" I asked.

"Actually... Mr David said he could help you out with a different job." Rita said.

Her words gave me bad vibes but I decided to hear her out anyways.

"What job is it?" I asked her.

"He didn't tell me when I asked about it but he said you should come to his office tomorrow so that you both can discuss it in private," Rita answered.
