The Billionaire's Ruse

"I regretted ever accepting to get married to you because ever since I got married to you, my life has been filled with pain and Misery, Alex" I said to Alex, my Estranged husband who has proven to be a thorn in my flesh

"Are you stupid? What gives you the audacity to address me by my first name, you bitch" Alexander replied

"Who the hell are you that I will not address you by whatever I choose?" I asked him to make a mockery of him.

"I am still your husband and I have total control over you" Alexander replied

"you are a motherfucker and a frustrated moron" I replied to him obviously wanting to see his reaction.

At that moment, he slapped me, sending shivers down my spine.

"you slapped me?" I asked him in surprise

"I will slap you a thousand times if you keep on behaving in this stupid manner ever again in your life, whore" Alexander replied obviously relishing in my pain

"you are such a fucking loser!" I exclaimed while I sobbed moving out of the room that always reminded me of my stupidity when I decided to agree to marry my estranged husband.

"Go away, you fool and goddamn forsaking slut" he said to me.

I felt great pain but what can I do?

I was left with no option when my arranged marriage with this criminal was the only way to secure my father's company.

I never knew that Alex was Alexander not Alexio who he claimed to be. If only I knew all these because I walked up the aisle with him, my life would not be in such a mess.

Even though my life is such a mess already, I have decided to be happy no matter what happens.

There was only one person in the world I know I can always relate my pain to without fear of condemnation.

I reached for my phone so I could call my mother and share my pain with her.

I dialed her number and she picked at the first ring

"good evening, mum" I greeted her

"good evening Emily, how are you and how is Alex?" my mum enquired.

She has gotten so used to calling Alexander, my estranged husband, Alex even when she is furious at him

"I wish I could say everything is fine, mom" I said to her, sobbing silently while doing so.

"What is it, Emily? What has that beast done to you" My mum asked me through the phone.

"This is not what I can say on the phone, mum. Are you at home now?" I asked my mum.

"yes, Emily, I am at home" my mother said

"I will be with you soon mum" I said hanging off the phone sobbing silently

I mustered the strength to walk up to my bedroom to change my dress.

When things started going awful between me and Alex, I moved out of our master bedroom

He did not even say anything to me about it when he returned home. Our marriage is miserable.

I quickly dressed up and got my car keys before moving out from my mansion. I was scared to drive in this state of mind but I had no option, especially with the fact that Alex has always been against employing a driver due to his insecurity.

***

I entered my family compound looking really depressed. I saw my mum outside, waiting to receive me

I ran into her, hugging her tightly

"it's alright my daughter" my mum said to me

She took me inside the room while I sat down.

"would you love to take anything" my mum asked

"NO, mum, I am fine," I said to her.

"ok, if you insist, my daughter. What happened to you my daughter that made you come home at this time" my mum asked

"It's Alexander, mum... We exchanged words today as we always do but this time, he did something different" I sobbed

"What did he do to you, my angel?" my mum asked.

"he slapped me, mum" I said between tears

"Alex did what!" my mum exclaimed looking shocked

"he slapped me after calling me a slut before leaving the house" I replied to my mum who was visibly anxious to confirm what I just said

"Alex must be stupid for laying his filthy finger on you, why would he do something like that to my only jewel!" my mum ranted.

"What do you suggest I do now, mum?" I asked

"what do you think you will do?" my mum asked

"you just need to be patient for a little while before we get everything fixed up" my mum continued

"for how long, mum?" I questioned, my eyes welling up with tears, however, this time for the maltreatment of Alex but for the shameful situation my family has been reduced to.

"It's OK, Emily. You will be fine, I promise" my mum assured me

"what if I die before then?" I asked my mum

"You will not die but you will scale through all these challenges" my mum said, trying to console me but I was not ready to take any of this again.

"I've heard you mum but I knew it won't take long before you come to pick up my corpse from this house" I said to my mum trying to make her see reasons with me

"I understand what you are going through, Emily but if you consider it again, what do

What do we do when we are being demanded to pay the loan of $1 billion?" my mum asked.

She had a point. I knew that we had no option at this moment because with the level of loan we are facing after the evil plot by my estranged husband, Alex has done to us all.

" but, mom I do not think you value my life" I said to my mum

"I do, but you must understand that we are in a very tight situation" my mum replied

"I understand mum but it's becoming unbearable" I lamented

"be strong my daughter, we will scale through eventually" my mum said to me

"Thank you mum" I said to her.

"Anything for you my angel," she replied.

This is why I always run to my mum whenever my home becomes too toxic. She has a way of making even the most toxic situation look little.

"Mum I need to go home before Alex returns" I said to my mum

"So soon?" She enquired

"Yes, my mum. I do not want another rough day mum" I said to her.

"ok, take care and stay safe," my mum replied.

I hugged her just before I stood up and headed for my car.

I drove back home thinking about how my family has been reduced to this.

***

I got back home but noticed that the compound was unusually silent. I was not in a state of analyzing my surroundings.

I walked into the house to discover that the door was slightly open.

"Heck! Alex must be back home" I said to myself

I walked into the building when I heard noises coming from the master bedroom upstairs.

My curiosity got the better of me. I walked up the stairs to know what was really going on in the master bedroom. I got to the door of the master bedroom and my heart sank.

"NO, this shouldn't be what I am thinking" I said to myself.

I heard moans coming from the master bedroom. Obviously, it was the moan of a lady being pleased. I opened the door and just like I expected, I saw my husband on top of another lady making love with another lady.

He turned back when he noticed that I was in the room and had caught him in his treacherous act.

"you whore, who asked you to come into this room without taking proper permission or knocking before you entered" he barked

"Alex!" I exclaimed

"What do you want whore or do you want to be part of this bliss and be part of a threesome if only you agree to act as my underdog?" Alex said.

I was battered and felt totally betrayed.

"I will make you pay, I promise" I said as I left the master bedroom banging the door behind me.

I felt real pain for the first time.

I ran to my room crying because I felt truly betrayed by the beast I called my husband.

I thought hard for a way to get back at him but I could not find any sensible thing to do that would truly hurt him so I decided to cheat on him.

This way, I will feel happy and have a sense of revenge.

I cleaned my eyes and prepared to take my bath because tonight I will break my marital vow.

***

I looked at myself in the mirror and could not believe who I saw staring at me.

This was certainly a different Emily from the one I know. I stared at myself in the mirror and almost called myself a slut.

My red sleeveless top barely covered my cleavage and my skirt was so short that it barely covered my panties.

I bit my lower lips anticipating my sweet revenge on my husband.

I felt odd but this is what that beast called my husband deserves for treating me like his slave. I took a jacket from the closet and walked out of the room.

I walked out of the gate after ensuring that my husband did not notice me going out. I had already booked a taxi through an app on my smartphone and in less than ten minutes, a taxi arrived right in front of me.

He rolled down his windows and greeted me.

"Hello ma'am" he said to me obviously trying to feed his eyes by staring at my cleavage.

"Hello" I replied, seemingly being uncomfortable. I hope my voice did not betray me.

"hop in" he said to me trying to regain his composure after he knew I caught him staring at my cleavage.

"ok" I said and entered the taxi after he opened it.

He drove towards the popular "Las Vegas" known for different kinds of immoral acts and atrocities. It was named Las Vegas for its popular slogan "what happens in Vegas dies in Vegas."

I picked this spot because as much as I wanted revenge, I do not want to tarnish my reputation.

I feigned ignorance even though I caught the driver stealing an occasional glance at my body. I kinda like the feeling of making a man horny. I only wondered how big his bulge would be down there.

Soon we arrived at the spot where I was to alight and I stepped down observing my environment.

I went straight to a club and I took my time walking to the bar. The club was not that full because it was a week day. I took off my jacket slowly and I made sure that every eyes were on me.I can as well do this well since I came all the way here

I sat down and ordered for a glass of rum. When the drink came, the server was almost fucking me with his eyes.

Few minutes later, a man came into the bar and was just looking around. He didn't have my attention. So I kept drinking and moving to the music. I was probably already drunk.

"Hello pretty lady," the man said to me. Obviously I assumed I was just another slut just like the other girls here.

I was not ready to give him the pleasure he wanted so I decided to snub him at first.

"I will just assume that you did not hear me" he said

I outright ignored him. I was not ready for an easy lay tonight. I want to take my time and choose a man that befits my kind of person.

"I like girls with your kind of guts miss. But I will have to pass a message to you. You have caught the eyes of my boss and he wants to have a nice time with you." he said looking at me as if I was another toy or asset to be observed keenly, obviously by his 'boss'

"And who's your boss" I shouted in order to be heard over the loud music.

"You'll see when you come with me" he shouted back.

Well, I've got nothing to lose here. I stood up and staggered on my heels but I did not mind. I picked my jacket and followed him.

We went to a room that was dimly lit, I could not see anything. There was smoke everywhere.

But then I notice a man coming close to me and he held me by the waist and kissed my earlobe and I felt a cold wind down my spine

"You are really beautiful. I want you tonight."

For some reason I can't explain, I felt ready for him. "Then have me" I whispered into his ears

Then he held my hand and dragged me out of the room in fast pace. I tried to look at him but then he has a mask on. I smiled at the irony of it all. It's really gonna be a one night stand where I don't know who he is and he won't see me anymore after today or so I thought.

Soon we arrived at a five star hotel. I knew this guy was rich but flaunting his wealth for just a single night affair was something I was not comfortable with.

"I hope you are prepared for me tonight?" he asked me.

"I am more than prepared I just hope that you are not a two minute man" I said trying to hurt his ego

"I doubt you know what is coming for you," he replied.

"Enough of the cheap talk, let's go in" I said to him, feeling bored of the long talk already.

At that moment, he grabbed my hands as we walked into the hotel room.

I noticed he just moved past the receptionist without stopping to say "hi" to the receptionist. Obviously he has been staying in this hotel for a while for him to walk in this hotel freely. But he is on mask, my mind argued but I was too lazy to dwell on it

When we got into the room, he could not even wait for me to drop my bag before he pounced on me like a man deprived of food for a week.

He shoved his tongue into mouth trying to initiate a kiss.

I was not comfortable but I was ready to do anything that will get back at that beast I call my husband.

He has proven to be a thorn in my flesh and I am willing to give him just what he needs.

I opened my mouth slightly giving him access to kiss me deeply.

Soon I started moaning because I enjoyed the magic he did with his tongue.

"What is your name?" I manage to ask him truly enjoying the pleasure

"What do you need my name for?" he asked after breaking the kiss momentarily.

"just to know who this desperate lover is" I said to him

"Well, I am not desperate. I just want to have a good time with my money" he said to me.

I was silent because I did not know what to say to him.

Soon, we were under the duvet having sweet sex. I did not enjoy this but this is my only way to get back at my husband for being so foolish.

Soon, we slept off but I had no intention of waking up late. I had a plan to execute and time is certainly not my friend in this case.

**"

I woke up still feeling drunk. I could hardly remember where I was. I suddenly remembered that I was not in my house but a random hotel room where I went to spend the night with a stranger.

I smiled when I remembered the sweet sex we had yesterday. Obviously I have been sex starved. I have almost forgotten what it truly means to have great sex.

I had to agree that this stranger is far better than even Alexander, my estranged husband.

I picked up my phone to check the time and noticed that it was already past 5 am.

I woke up silently removing his hands from my chest trying hard not to wake him up from his deep sleep. Assuredly, his face was still covered with the mask. Does he have a scar on his face? But I couldn't be bothered to check nor confirm

I got dressed and made sure I had all I needed to go with. Just then a thought occurred to me.

I remembered the way he screamed about enjoying the most of his money. I felt like a property, a thing to be used.

I was not ready to be plagued with such a feeling.

I decide to drop a few dollar note beside him so that he will know that I am not after his money but I am simply here to have some fun and unwind from all the problems in my home.

I searched for some dollar notes in my bag and thankfully, I had a good portion of it in my bag.

I kept a good portion of it beside his bedside.

I knew he would be up soon so I tiptoed out of the room without paying attention to anyone in the hotel, not even the receptionist.

I went out of the hotel premises to see the taxi I booked waiting patiently for me. Of course he had no option because I was paying him double of the usual fare this morning.

I sat in the backseat of a taxi, my mind wandering about the effect of this act on my marriage. Definitely, my marriage will never remain the same, never.

Alexio's POV

I woke up feeling refreshed. I can't remember the last time I had such great sex.

I could still retain the feeling I had after I released my cum. I was angry that this stubborn lady refused to allow me to release inside her.

Talking about the lady, I stretched my hands a bit trying to touch her breast in a bid to squeeze it hard.

"what!" I exclaimed, jumping up and looking around.

"fuck! She is gone" I said to myself

I decided to check my things properly if she attempted to escape with any of my belongings. If she did, I would not be offended because she really gave me great sex last night.

I looked around and was shocked by what I saw. There beside my bedside was some dollar notes. Obviously, this is not my dollar note.

This lady must be trying to play an emotional game with me.

I was angry at that moment. Nobody dared to play such a stupid game with me. I took the dollar note and squeezed it until it was totally useless.

I swore to make her pay dearly for this.
