That Billionaire Loves Me!

Author's POV

Naomi never believed in coincidences. What she believes is everything has been designed and arranged by the Almighty to meet each other or stay away from each other. Time goes on and the wheel of life keeps turning. Nothing can reverse a time because the Almighty alone is in control of life.

And now she was confronted by a dashing man who was sitting in front of his door. He seemed to be gasping for breath with such a fast breath. The petite girl drew closer to the sharp-eyed man's figure and looked at him from above and below, an appearance that brought her back to her high school days.

He had not yet raised his head, but Naomi already knew who the man was. Seeing a pair of feet that were walking towards him, he lifted his head and was surprised when he saw the little girl was looking at him flatly and coldly,

That man was Alexander Louis, a good-looking man in Naomi's high school as well as a man who once held the highest position in Naomi's heart. The familiar look still carried when their brown eyes met. It felt exactly like this is the first time the two met together after few years apart. No one expected that man would suddenly enter that girl's house with a gasping breath as if someone was chasing him.

She stared at him coldly as if he had just been splashed with cold water, so cold and untouchable... that man barely knew her for a while.

"Nao-mi?" called that man, opening the conversation between the two for the first time in a long time the two of them had not seen each other,

"What are you doing here?" asked her coldly. There isn't any warmness within her eyes, she just stared at him as cold as her heart.

"I don't know this is your house."

"He doesn't know?" inner her wondering.

"Get out from my house," she ordered as he shook his head.

"Not for now, Naomi. I'm afraid they're still around here," he said as he peeked behind the door. Naomi furrowed her brow, what did he mean and what exactly was going on?

"I said get out," as she point the door,

That man shook his head, "Please, please... I'm begging you,"

That girl could not completely reject him because she still had a sense of worry about what was happening with that man. She hid her worries and she closed it tightly with the intention of wanting to forget him who had hurt her in the past,

"Where the hell is him right now?" wondering some men out there,

Alex gasped as soon as he heard the baritone voice that sounded very close to him. That girl could see that Alex looked panicked. And that man's panic was even more apparent when someone knocked on Naomi's door with a baritone voice saying 'excuse me' to the owner of the house, Naomi.

Intrigued by what was happening, she stepped up and grabbed the doorknob, intending to open the door for the baritone voice. Alex grabbed her leg and shook his head quickly, but Naomi deliberately stomped her foot until Alex almost fell down. Naomi actually opened the door for that baritone voice and Alex was gave up to beg her pity. As soon as she opened the door, she found two well-dressed sissies waiting for her to speak,

"Excuse me, have you seen a man in the black suit?" asked one of the sissies politely,

"Black suit? They are looking for Alex?"

She nodded, "I saw him running there," she said, pointing to a hallway across from her house. The two sissies nodded in understanding and thanked to her.

After the two sissies left, Naomi went back into her house, finding him sitting by the door. Their eyes met, but unlike Alex, she didn't seem to want a thank you from him.

"Thank you, Naomi. You saved me."

Naomi saw Alex's sloppy look. It looks like the sissies are after him because this man is very handsome, no wonder the sissies are chasing him as if he is easy prey for those sissies,

"I just found out now that you're playing with a sissy," she teased with her petty smile,

"Who said I played with sissies. I'm still normal, you know! They just suddenly chased me. Maybe it's because I'm too handsome that they're targeting me," he said, making her look at him with ridicule.

"Are you proud of that? Wow, impressive," she said despicably. Alex then stood up, he was about to approach her. But she didn't seem to want it, as seen from her backing away from him. Realizing her response, that brown-eyed man stopped walking and chose to stay where he stood.

"Get out before they come back," she said, trying to turn away from him. However, before she could take a step, Alex held her hand, as if asking her to be with him for a while.

"You don't intend to say anything after our encounter?" he said earnestly. All of this was his fault which made her even colder with him. If only he quickly realized his feelings, he would definitely continue to be with this girl until this very second.

Love that starts from betting is not taboo for some people and groups. At that time, Alex only played the role of a man who seemed to love Naomi so much that in the end, she was touched by all his tricks until the two of them slept together.

Of course, Alex won the bet and he made a lot of money afterward. Alex purposely made her love him very much before he dumped her as if she were a broken toy. Not only that, she also became the subject of the male friends' wild fantasies because of some indecent photos that the guy shared with his friends.

She knew it all when she was about to find him to go home with her. And inadvertently, that long black-haired girl heard everything that he was sleazy behavior with his friends. In that instant, her feelings for him cooled. With the shame already broken, she came up to them and tore up all the photos and then threw all the indecent photos at Alex.

It was an unforgettable day for her. That day also changed her who increasingly distrusted any man.

"Naomi..." Alex called softly. Until now he regretted what he had behaved and once she left him, that's when he slowly began to realize his true feelings. But the rice had turned into porridge, she transferred schools and no longer saw him anymore.

"Go," she said reluctantly turning to Alex.

"I'm sorry, Naomi..." he whispered very deeply. She tried not to shake herself up at what he said. To her, whatever he said, it was all a lie, just like what he had done to her before.

Everything is fake.

"I don't want to hear anything from you," she said before he stepped up to stop her from walking. He wanted her to see how sorry he was for what he had done to her. He held both of her hands, but she stomped her hands as if his hands were a pestilence that would infect her,

"Forgive me,"

"I have forgiven you," she said. Hearing what she said, the look on his face showed relief as if the burden on his shoulders had been lifted. But even so, her expression didn't show any warmth.

"So, please go away from me," she said, passing him who was still standing in front of her.

"So, please go away from me," she said, passing him who was still standing in front of her.

That girl's desire is to leave the guy as soon as possible, but it is not with him who still wants her to be with him. Alex held Naomi's hand, causing her to stop in her tracks. Both that girl and that man were silent for a moment before he stepped in front of her to block her away.

Alex thinks that now God is on his side, which the meeting he has been dreaming of for 12 years has come true. Unlike Alex, Naomi had already cooled her feelings for him. There is no second chance for him. She didn't intend to give any chance to him.

"I don't want you to leave until you hear something from me," he said, staring into the cold brown-eyed Naomi gave to him. Again, she stomped her hand to free herself from Alex. To her, this situation reminded her of the time when he used to freely touch her entire body.

Disgusting.

Neither he nor his own body. She felt very stupid and disgusting.

"I've saved you, now go before I force you to go," he said with a cold look. She didn't want to hear anything from him, for her it was all over.

Those eyes weren't the eyes that Alex had ever known. All he knew, those eyes always gave him the warmth he so longed for when they spent their time together. Alex wanted those times back, the time when he could embrace her as much as he wanted and kiss her with love and affection.

That man's subconscious made him move to hug her even he didn't expect much, he didn't even deserve a hug her. He hugged her tightly, while she just stayed where she was.

"I miss you," he said earnestly.

Her mind didn't want to remember this hug. But this little body can still feel the warm embrace she once received it from him as if this body is a living witness that she can't refuse. He tried to get used to it and didn't react to the hug this man gave him.

"You have no idea how sorry I am for what I did to you," that man said again. Naomi stayed silent, she forced her body not to hug the body which she had missed for a dozen years.

"And you have no idea how devastated I was at the time," he said again to her. He didn't know what she had been through after what he had done to her. Naomi had to face a very severe depression. Her pride seemed to be stepped on and she felt worthless and useless because he had ruined her. All of his sweet promises and shady words became trash for her. He really didn't understand what he was doing.

Why was he didn't realize that she also devastated that time?

Was he dissatisfied with hurting herself too?

What did this hug mean?

What was the meaning of the longing he had just said?

Naomi was questioning everything in her mind. If he felt guilty, shouldn't he just leave her alone? Why did he choose otherwise?

"I will fix everything. I want us to start all over again..."

She laughed wryly. She imagined again the time when she often punished herself with sharp objects, not to mention he had to face the paranoia which she got from a different person. Moreover, other problems have made her worse off over the past dozen years. To be sure, all this suffering started from him, all this pain comes from that man.

She did not understand why God was so unfair to her.

"Start from scratch? Don't make me laugh," she said with a wry laugh. Alex let go of his arm and grabbed her tiny shoulder. He looked into her eyes, looking for the stare he wanted.

"I promise I'll make you happy," he said earnestly. He wasn't lying, he meant it.

"You want me to be happy?"

He nodded,

She brushed his hand off her shoulder and looked at him straight, "Then go away and disappear from my life," she said. Alex was stunned for a while. He did not want to give up, he called her again and tried to approach her again,

"I know you still have feelings for me, isn't it," he said, making her stop walking.

"Even though it was just a glimmer of taste, I was right, wasn't I?" he said again before he again blocked her to get away from him. He took her right hand and placed it on his cheek as if he wanted the softest caress he had ever received from her.

His eyes were still searching for the warmness he wanted from her, but he didn't get it. He also took her other hand to place it on his chest. He wanted her to know this great pulse that was beating life inside him. Alex wanted Naomi to understand that his body wasn't lying to her,

Her heart was broken, he didn't expect that he would actually turn her into a different person than she used to be. He no longer found Naomi who was so cheerful and sincere to him. She used to be just an innocent girl with all the innocence and sincerity that were the characteristics that he liked so much. Her small body, along with the beauty of her face is a plus point for her. It's all Alex's fault, his fault for turning her into someone he barely recognizes.

"I love you, Naomi," he said with all of his feelings,

"Lie," she murmered. She wasn't want to hear anything from him,

"This is me. This is me when I'm with you," he said, pressing her left hand to his chest. He hoped that with this, his feelings were also conveyed to her. Alex wants to bring back her cheerfulness like the Naomi he first met.

"I do not care,"

"Give me a chance. Give me a chance to fix things..."

"You can't turn back time, and I won't allow you to come back into my life..." she raised her voiced a bit.

"I really can't turn back time. But I guarantee my life to you."

She shook her head with a wry smile, "You don't understand what you're saying."

He shook his head, "I will give and sacrifice everything as long as you can come back to me,"

Naomi was still silent, peering into Alex's brown eyes to see the seriousness he was showing her. She could no longer be deceived for her past innocence, but this time she didn't get the lie from his eyes.

"I know you still have me in your heart..." Alex stated to her. She wryly smile and take a deep breath,

"You're right, you're still in my heart," she said looking at Alex sharply,

"You do still occupy a place in my heart, but it's not love, but hate and disgust. You will always be remembered as my most beautiful mistake," she said sharply.

"Naomi..." he called her again. He was hurt by what she stated to him.

"Give it up, I don't want to reread the same book," she conveyed to him deeply.

"No, it's not the same," he claimed with his shook head.

"I will fight for you, no matter what. I'll make you turn to me again."

She shrugged her shoulders, "We'll see. You or I will win all of this," she said before she walked off leaving that man alone.

As for Alex, he clenched his fists. This time he would not lose, no matter what, he had to get her back for himself. No matter how hard he would face, he would always chase her.

Author's POV

Alex was still swamped with the files he had to sign. Luckily, his secretary, Darius, had already checked the contents of the piled-up files, so Alex's work began to be a little less.

He is Alexander Louis, the CEO of Indonesia's largest gaming company. The company was originally founded by his grandfather and eventually passed down to him. Currently, the company is working on a 3D game project, which is a tough and busy time for him.

He was silent as he received a resignation letter from one of the senior 3D artists which said that he would be leaving in the next two months. Alex then called his secretary, Darius, and asked him to explain why he had not been informed of Adrian's resignation which had already been submitted 1 month ago,

"The file is piled-up with other files, sir..."

"Obviously, why didn't anyone tell me?" he asked as he is waving the resignation letter in front of Darius.

"I'm sorry, sir," stated Darius politely.

"Open a vacancy as soon as possible and ask Seira---manager 3D artist and Adrian---senior 3D artist to intervene. If possible, in the next two weeks we will find a 3D artist who will replace Adrian," he said before he asked Darius to arrange a letter of recommendation for Adrian.

"Okay, sir..." Darius said as he withdrew from Alex's presence.

Alex leaned back in his oversized chair, he groaned as he stretched his body which was getting tired from his work. His mind was telling him to get back to work because he needed to quickly get these files done so he could get on with his next agenda.

His thoughts drifted back to his memories the other day. After 12 years had passed, who would have thought that he would even meet his ex-lover who had disappeared from him? Alex sighed, thinking about what steps he should take to win Naomi's heart back.

Naomi has changed a lot, starting from the way she looked at him and the way she acted toward him. Ah... even so, his love for her didn't change. He tried to relax his body and closed his eyes.

It was undeniable, he really missed everything about Naomi. Starting from her warm gaze to her beautiful body. Alex bit his lip as he remembered the warmth and comfort he felt when he was inside her. At that time he felt proud because he was the first man to get her virginity.

He clenched his jaw, trying to suppress his desire. He wanted her more than anything because no other woman could give him this extraordinary sensation.

"Naomi..." he called as if Naomi was in front of him.

Should and where should he start? That man didn't have any idea or plan to chase her. To win back Naomi's heart was not something that can be underestimated, considering Naomi is already cold to him.

He had to be able to melt the ice wall that girl had built to limit herself from him. However, a swamped schedule and the many meetings he has to attend, it has drained his energy. For the past few days, he hasn't made any moves to catch up to her, but clearly, that girl must be his. No matter what came his way and what the rewards were, he didn't care.

"You're mine, Naomi," he said as he close his eyes.

Alex's phone rings. He want to ignore it but seems it's not that easy. He lazily reached for his cellphone which was located in the corner of the table and take it to his right ear. As soon as he found out that it was the agent he had sent to monitor her house, he immediately straightened his seat.

"How? Did something happen?" asked him, before he received a piece of information that took him by surprise,

"What?!"

****

With the sound of the door booming, Naomi hesitated to open the door. Meanwhile his father, Benny stepped forward with the intention to face some burly people behind the door who were waiting for them to open the door. Consisting of 3 men, all three shouted while knocking and violently moving the doorknob.

Naomi held her father's shirt quickly, a sign she didn't want her father to approach the men who were violently calling for them. Benny make up his mind and take his daughter's hands down before he stepped and opened the door. Before he let the door open, he asked his daughter to hide behind the wall.

"This is it," said a bald man with very strong muscles. The bald man accidentally saw Naomi who was peeking behind the wall. When their eyes met, she immediately hid back behind the wall.

"You have a beautiful girl huh..." speculated him with a sinister grin. Benny didn't stop apologizing, but when he heard the bald man talking about his daughter, Benny immediately knelt down to the burly man, pleading with him not to involve his daughter who didn't know anything,

"Please sir, please don't involve my daughter,"

Hearing the plea from a middle-aged man, the three of them burst out laughing. One of their leaders, the bald man, pulled a crouch while imitating the old man's words with ridicule. He grabbed Benny by the collar and lifted him easily. Seeing the father who was in a tense situation, she ran to get the father who was being pulled by his collar.

Before she touched her father, the bald man threw Benny so that he fell down. He walked over, touching Naomi's beautiful face.

"Please let my father go!" she shouted, making the bald man tilt his head,

"You're asking me to release him from his debts, aren't you?" he said again, pointing his finger to her.

She glanced at her father who was trying to get up. She bit his lip, her heart seemed to be slashed to see his father who was trying to defend him. She also pleaded with the bald man to give herself and his father a chance to pay off their debt.

"Okay, I'll give you a month," he said, making Naomi and Benny stare at each other,

"If in a month it can't be finished..." he stopped his words while looking her up and down as if she was a soft food for him to taste,

"We brought this girl," he claimed before he closed their door firmly. The other two men left them with shouting 'one more month'.

After seeing the men leave, Naomi immediately went to her father and helped him up. She cried seeing the sacrifice of her father who loved her so much.

While Benny, smiled while stroking her head affectionately. After the father's company went bankrupt, their grief widened when not long after his mother left them for good,

"Why... why is God unfair to me?" Naomi asked to herself,

A broken love life, bankruptcy, to the death of her mother, all of which attacked her at a young age. Her work as a freelancer did not really help his father to pay off his father's debt.

This time she was determined,

She had to find a job as soon as possible.
