The Billionaire's First Love

"Is it one of your mistresses?" Oliver asked suspiciously when his friend's phone rang for the third time. He was seated on the sofa beside Adam in Adam's luxurious office.

"It's nothing!" Adam's cold voice came through. He still did not answer the call.

Oliver stared at him for a few seconds, trying to find out if something was truly wrong. Just like always, Ollie could tell something was wrong but making Adam open up to him was another thing entirely. He had never known anyone as secretive as his best friend.

Oliver was about to continue their conversation when Adam's phone rang again.

He cursed softly, running a hand over his face. "One minute," He said to Oliver, then finally answered the call.

"What is it, Mom?" He literally raised his voice at her over the phone.

Oliver watched as his best friend conversed with his Mother on the other end. Adam didn't say anything. All he did was listen to all that his mom was saying with a bored look on his face. And the moment one minute was up, he ended the call.

"I'm sure you didn't allow her to finish what She was saying," Oliver said immediately.

Adam ignored. He put his phone on silent mode and tossed it in his jacket pocket.

"You can't continue like this," Oliver mumbled.

"What do you mean?" Adam asked immediately.

"Will you ever forgive your parents? Your mom loves you so much"

"Did you just mention 'Love'?" Adam replied with a disgusted look. "Doreen and George are the most selfish people I've ever known. They only love and care about themselves and maybe my siblings!"

"What if they've learned their lesson and are just trying to make it up to you?"

"There you go again taking their fucking sides!! I'm not in the mood to argue or talk about the people who ruined my life and now acting like they fucking care!!!"

"I'll always have your back, Adam but aren't you tired of all of these?"

Adam Sleeves exhaled, running his fingers through his slightly messy hair.

"Dude, it's been years since I saw you smile. I can't remember the last time you were genuinely happy. You're not on good terms with your parents, siblings and even family. You pretend everything is fine with you and that you don't need anybody."

"Oliver!!!" Adam groaned, massaging his temple.

"Cut that crap, Adam, you know I'm telling the truth. You hide your pain by burying yourself with work, womanizing, drinking, and smoking. Aren't you tired of this pathetic way of life?"

"You care so much about me. You're always there for me when something comes up but you wouldn't even let me do the same for you. I literally have to shove my hands down your throat before you open up to me!"

Adam let out a long, deep sigh. "How am I being secretive when there's nothing going on in my life that you don't know of? I'm not going to deny having a pathetic life because that's reality for me"

"I've got all the money in the world, the fame, thousands of women at the snap of my fingers, yet, I feel so empty! You've got a solution for that?" Adam said to his best friend.

"Your parents, your kids, your wife, your children? Why won't you feel empty when you don't give them a chance in your life?"

"You mean those people who destroyed my life?" Adam scoffed. "I would rather be on my way to the club than to sit here, discussing them with you."

"You're mad at those innocent children too?" Oliver asked in disbelief.

"Of course not! They are my flesh and blood and as you said, they are innocent so why would I be mad at them?"

"It's just a pity that they are born to shitty parents like myself and Tessie. They definitely deserve better."

"All of these have to do with HER, right?" Oliver mentioned for the first time in a very long while, looking at Adam intently.

"With who?" He asked with creased brows.

"Katherine!" He whispered, but loud enough for Adam to hear.

Oliver didn't miss the pain in Adam's eyes before Adam looked away.

Oliver sighed. "You need to move on, mate!"

Adam turned to look at him "And you think I haven't tried to do so?"

"It's been years and I promise you that no day has passed that I haven't thought about her. Sometimes, I think that I actually deserve my pathetic life. Payback for all the wrong I did to her!"

"Adam...." Oliver was saying but Adam stopped him with his words.

"I know you care about me so much and I truly appreciate your concern but I don't want to talk about HER, my parents, wife or siblings."

Oliver was about to say something else but Adam cut him off again, "I'm used to this lifestyle, I know that happiness isn't for me and I'm fine by it. I should get going, Sandra must be waiting for me at the club." He said, taking a glance at his wristwatch.

"Sandra?" Oliver found himself saying.

"Not Sandra Banks. I met this one a few weeks ago."

Oliver exhaled, "I know I shouldn't be telling you how to live your life but to be honest, I'm not happy with your carefree attitude. It's understandable that you hate your wife but can't you just stick to one mistress instead of having many of them?"

"They always throw themselves at me, remember!" He said without a care in the world.

"And haven't you heard of self-control? I know you use them to pass time but you've got to put a stop to it. If not for anyone, do it for your children. At some point in their lives, they are going to face humiliation from your actions. You say they deserve better and yet, you aren't taking steps to make things better!"

''Look, I know you have a shitty past which you aren't proud of and that has made you believe you're a very shitty person who doesn't deserve any dime of happiness but you're wrong, dude. I know who you really are. If you were this way from the start, I wouldn't even be friends with you. You need to forgive yourself and let go of every form of anger and pain you are feeling." Oliver said, looking at his best friend intently.

Adam was quiet and from the look on his face, he seemed to be thinking deeply about all that Oliver just said.

"How's Jessica and Evan?" Adam said after a while.

Oliver gave his best buddy the 'are you for real look'

Adam sighed, looking away.

"I'll take my leave," Oliver mumbled, getting up from where he was seated. He was about to walk away when he remembered something.

"Our wedding anniversary is in two weeks and we are having a small celebration with close friends and relatives. You better be there!" Oliver said, leaving no room for arguments.

Adam nodded.

"I hope that is a genuine YES!" Oliver glared at him.

"I'll be there. I'm glad you told me earlier. I'll make sure my schedule is cleared."

"You're still meeting up with Sandra. Aren't you?"

"I would rather spend the night with her than go home to Tessie." He answered immediately.

As if on cue, the duo were distracted by a knock that came through on the glass-walled door. Looking over to see who it was since it was way past office hours, it turned out to be a strange face for Oliver but from the appearance, Oliver could guess who it was.

He sighed. He honestly wished Adam could have what he had. 'A happy home'. "Be careful," He whispered to Adam after which they both exchanged a hug.

The moment Oliver excused himself, the blondie walked in gracefully. She was putting on a revealing red dress.

With a smile on her face, She stopped by Adam's desk, placing her purse on it, then she approached Adam who was on his feet.

"Hi baby," Her low pitch seductive voice came through as She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed Adam on his lips. He didn't respond. Instead, he pulled away.

"Why did you come here when we agreed to meet at the club?"

"What difference does it make?"

"Stop with the sarcasm, woman!" He raised his voice. "I expect an answer when I ask you a question. Or do I need to remind you that I hate being disobeyed?" Adam's anger was evident not only in his voice but also in his facial expression.

Sandra boringly rolled her eyes at him.

"Did you just...You know what? Get the hell out of my office!!!!!" He pointed towards the door.

Within a twinkle of an eye, Sandra got on her knees. She was about to reach for the buckle of his pants when he slapped her hands away. But that didn't stop Sandra from trying again. She knew Adam had quite a temper but she always bypassed that by giving him blowjobs or surrendering herself to be fucked roughly by him.

"Forgive me, Babe. I didn't mean to upset you. Since my apartment is close to your office, there is no way I would get to the club without passing by. The security confirmed you were around. That's why I came up to you."

"I'm in the mood for some kinky office spanking. No doubt I've been naughty, my love. Punish me all you want, fuck me very rough for hours but please don't send me away."

"You know that I cannot do without you, Adam." Sandra pleaded, trying to unbuckle his pants, silently praying that he doesn't stop her.

Adam didn't want to give in. But he lost it the moment he felt Sandra's wet mouth over the tip of his cock.

Adam's breath hitched as he ran a hand over his face.

"Sandra!!!!" He groaned the moment she took all of him in at once, playing with his balls at the same time, with her fingers.

After a couple of seconds, she pulled out, looked up at Adam as she continued to stroke his dripping wet cock with her hand. "I want you to come in my mouth, baby. I want to taste you so bad."

Adam held Sandra's head, and guided his dick back into her mouth, fucking her hard and fast, just like she wanted. And soon enough, he came in her, emptying all of his cum in her mouth.

Adam heaved a long sigh as he pulled out of her.

Sandra smiled, reaching for the drops of cum at the corner of her lips and licking them as if they were the sweetest thing ever.

While Sandra satisfied herself, Adam excused himself. He went to the adjoined bathroom in his office where he cleaned up. He splashed some water on his face, then dried it with a towel.

Getting back to his office, Adam saw Sandra on the spot he left her. But she was on her feet already.

"DON'T!!!" He commanded when he saw that she was about to approach him.

The smile on Sandra's face faded away as she stood still in shock.

She watched as Adam proceeded to the bar cabinet area in his office and poured himself a glass of whiskey which he gulped down immediately.

He heard the sound of heels meeting with the tiled floor and that made him aware that Sandra was coming closer to him.

She came to a halt when she was a few steps away from him.

"But I already apologized to you, my love. Please, forgive me. I'll do anything!" she said in a teary voice.

Adam said nothing. He stood still for a couple of seconds with his hand in his pocket. He eventually poured himself another glass of alcohol, then approached Sandra with slow steps.

Holding the glass of whiskey in his left hand, He brought his right hand to her face, absentmindedly caressing her cheek with the tip of his fingers. "I'll have someone deliver the car you requested to your apartment tomorrow. Go home, and don't bother calling or coming here to look for me. I'll contact you if I ever need you!"

Adam was about to take his hand away from Sandra's face when she clung to it. "Don't do this to me, baby. Please don't. You know that I cannot do without you." She said with tear-filled eyes.

She let go of his hand and wrapped her arms around his waist, careful not to cause him to spill his drink. "I don't want the car anymore. It's you I want, baby!" A tear rolled down Sandra's cheek. "I promise not to disobey you anymore. Please forgive me, Adam."

"Leave!!! Or I'll tell the security to throw you out." He said without any emotion in his voice.

"Didn't you hear what I said!!!" He raised his voice after a couple of seconds when she failed to let go of him.

Out of fear, Sandra untangled herself from him.

"Why are you being unfair, Adam? I did nothing wrong!" She said as more tears rolled down both of her cheeks.

"Shut the door on your way out!" Adam said without a care in the world, then left her presence.

He went over to one of the desk drawers in his office, took out his cigar and lighter, then proceeded into the balcony with his drink, ignoring Sandra's loud cries.

Once Adam got comfortable on the chair, he placed the items in his hand on a small table beside him and reached for his phone in his jacket pocket. He transferred a reasonable sum to Sandra's bank account and left a message for his car dealer.

Sleeves let out a long sigh when he was done, then went ahead to light his Cigar.

Adam spent the next hour, drinking, smoking and drowning in his thoughts. They were random thoughts about his life.

Having had enough, he went back to his office, did some work for about an hour and decided to call it a day at 11 pm.

Closing the door to the fridge after taking out a bottle of water, Adam internally rolled his eyes when he sighted Tessie standing at the entrance of the kitchen.

He acted like he didn't see her, and just focused on the bottled water in his hand.

"11:39 pm. So who were you with, tonight? Natasha, Lucia, Cynthia, Sera or Alicia." Tessie mocked with her arms folded as she leaned against the wall by the entrance.

Adam gulped down the water from the bottle.

"I bet it was Diane! Where did you guys fuck? In the car, club restroom, your office or in the middle of the road."

Adam finished the water and tossed the bottle in a nearby bin. He was about to exit the kitchen but Tessie had blocked the way. She was standing in front of him with her arms folded.

"Get the fuck out of the way!" Adam said with gritted teeth, trying to stay calm.

"And what if I don't? You will tie me up and fuck the shit out of me?"

Within a twinkle of an eye, Adam reached for Tessie's hand and pushed her out of the way, approaching the staircase that led to his bedroom.

Tessie was tiny and with someone as powerful as Adam, he didn't find it difficult to clear her out of the road.

"You egoistic bastard! Who gave you the right to touch me with your filthy hands?" Tessie yelled, walking behind him.

"I've never met anyone who's as shameless as you are. You cheat on your wife, you have no ounce of respect for me, You're the shittest father ever and yet you're so fucking proud! Who would have thought the world's most admirable Adam Sleeves would turn out to be a douchebag and a fucking manwhore?`"

Adam was just a few steps away from the staircase when he stopped in his tracks and turned around to face his so-called legally wedded wife.

Tessie swallowed painfully upon seeing Adam's facial expression.

"One more word from you, I promise that you're going to regret ever knowing me," Adam said with so much venom and hatred in his voice but that didn't stop Tessie from responding to him.

"Regret ever knowing you? Oh, please, I already did a long time ago. And don't think I'll ever give in to those mere threats. NEVER!!!"

"Don't push me to my limits, Woman!" Adam warned, pointing a finger at Tessie.

"Fuck you, Adam Sleeves!!! In fact, I would prefer you lay a hand on me so I can sue your ass and make sure you spend the rest of your existence in jail."

"You aren't worth my time!" Adam mumbled, glaring at her. Then he made a u-turn, proceeding to his bedroom, ignoring all of Tessie's outbursts.

Once Adam got to where could be termed his 'safe haven', he made sure he locked the door, then proceeded to undress, after which he took a shower.

Getting all dried and dressed up for the night, He reached for his cellphone on the nightstand and got into bed.

Adam spent a short while on his phone replying to messages and going over a few emails after which he decided to call it a night.

Hardly had Adam closed his eyes when a loud cry came through. With a frown on his face, he sat up. The cry was continuous and that prompted him to get up from the bed.

Stepping out of his room, Adam went straight to where the loud cry was coming from which was just a couple of steps away. Opening the door, he saw his seven-month-old daughter in her crib, crying her eyes out. His four years old son stood beside the crib, pointing one of his younger sister's toys to her, hoping to calm the little girl but it wasn't working.

Shutting the door behind him, Adam approached them with fast steps.

"Hi buddy," He ruffled his son's hair before reaching for his daughter in the crib.

"Fuck!" He cursed silently when he felt her temperature.

"It's okay, darling." He whispered as he gently placed her on his chest.

"But Martha should be here!" Adam mumbled, referring to his children's nanny.

"Martha is no more!" Calvin, Adam's four year old whispered.

Adam frowned, "What do you mean?"

"Wait, do not tell me that your mother sent her packing?" Adam said in disbelief.

"Martha was about to give us food when she got into a fight with Mommy. Mommy hit her and told her to leave the house."

"Oh, God!" Adam mumbled as he ran his free fingers through his slightly wet hair. He held his daughter well with the other hand.

"But you've had dinner already haven't you?" He asked, hopefully.

Calvin shook his head.

"Tessie didn't give you food?" He asked in shock.

Calvin shook his head again.

"She sent me to my room after hitting Martha."

"Later, I got so hungry so I went to the kitchen to take some cookies for me and Anna. I didn't mean to take it Daddy but I was too hungry." The little boy said with remorse in his eyes.

"It's okay, buddy. Come let me get you something to eat." He connected his hand with Calvin's own and led him out of the room with Anna in his arms. The little girl had calmed down a little but he could still hear her soft sniffle.

On getting to the kitchen, Adam placed a now calmed Anna on her high chair, then he helped Calvin sit on the stool.

Adam couldn't be more grateful that his son requested cereal because that was literally one of the few things he knew how to make.

While Calvin dug in, He went ahead to make Anna's formula. He waited a while for the milk to be warm, then he took the little girl out of her high chair and fed her. He didn't care that his children were eating at almost midnight. It was better than them going to bed on an empty stomach.

Once done, Adam cleaned both kids up, then burped Anna.

"I'll have to take your sister to the hospital tomorrow. I think she's coming up with a fever." Adam mumbled, feeling the temperature on Anna's forehead with his palm.

Calvin nodded. "But we don't have a nanny anymore! Who's going to look after us?"

Adam sighed internally. "Don't worry, I'll figure something out."

Turning off the kitchen lights, Adam exited the kitchen with his children. He had no idea why but instead of taking them to their various rooms, He took both Anna and Calvin to his room.

Little Anna who was in his arms still had a little temperature and that prompted him to pick up his phone. He was sceptical about her pediatrician picking up the call at past midnight but he still wanted to make an attempt.

Adam was almost giving up when she eventually answered. He heaved a sigh of relief and explained the reason for his urgent call. The doctor told him what to do and he proceeded to do just that after he ended the call.

"You want to come with me while I give your sister a bath?" Adam asked his son who nodded immediately and they all proceeded to Anna's room. He gave her a lukewarm bath, dried and wore a lightweight cloth for her as compared to the heavyweight clothing she was putting on. He went over to where her medications were and gave her the particular vitamin prescribed by the doctor.

Once done, they all went back to his room. Feeling Anna's temperature, Adam was relieved to know it had gone down a little. He could see that his little girl was feeling sleepy so he rocked her to bed.

Once She was fast asleep, Adam gently placed her in the middle of his king-sized bed. He covered her body with a light blanket he took from her room earlier.

Adam saw Calvin place a soft kiss on her cheek and that made him smile. "You love her, don't you?"

Calvin nodded. "I love her very much and I hate to see her cry."

With a sad smile on Adam's face, he ruffled his Son's hair.

"You need a haircut, buddy."

"Martha said so before mommy sent her away." He mumbled.

"Don't worry, I'll take you to get it done."

"Really?" Calvin said, with a smile tugging at his lips.

"Yeah!" Adam chuckled at his Son's reaction. He was always so busy that he didn't have the time to do a lot of things with them so he could guess why Calvin was surprised about wanting to take him for a haircut.

"Can you watch your sister for a while? I need to go see your Mother. I'll be right back."

Calvin nodded.

Adam kissed his Son's forehead before helping himself down from the bed and out of the room.

In a couple of seconds, Adam got to Tessie's door, then barged in.
