LUST LOVE: Slave To The Billionaire CEO

Smiles walk into the mansion, all tired. It’s been a week now and she hasn’t heard from her mom.

Taking advantage of being in LA, she decided to visit. At least, a simple “hi” and a hug will do.

Her eyes darted around the living room, there was no one present. She frowns, even though the house sometimes is all quiet, not to this extent.

“Mom!” Smiles calls, making her way upstairs. The only place Fiona can be if not in the living room is her room or her studies.

She knocked on her bedroom door countless times but there was no response. She pushed open the door but was greeted by an empty room.

With no choice, she heads for the studies knowing it’s the only place Fiona will be in.

She reached out for the doorknob and was about to push it open when she heard someone’s voice, it wasn’t Fiona’s but that of a male.

She leans closer, making sure she doesn’t make any noise.

“They are completely bankrupt, but I’m foreseeing them coming back to life, Derrick and Keane have become so close to Mark that they are willing to help him out” Smiles heard the voice talk.

She didn’t intend to listen to their conversation, all she wanted to do was to figure out the owner of the voice but upon hearing him make mention of Derrick and Keane, she was now eager to hear everything.

“The Warrens are truly a pain in the ass, too bad for the Austin ’cause I’m not willing to spell a single soul. I wish it wouldn’t have come to this point knowing how much Smiles loves Keane but…” Fiona paused, ” I have to do what’s right, and bringing them down is what is right”

Smiles couldn’t believe her ears, she didn’t move and stayed glued to the door,” everyone must feel my pain and more, that I promise.” She heard Fiona say it would all be certainty and promise.

” Why not deal with the people directly responsible? You know I can’t watch you touch Keane and Derrick!” Bruce was in no way letting her touch his friends.

He’s always working for her because he believes she’s got the right to punish those responsible for her pain but not at the expense of his friend’s happiness.

“It’s not like I will kill them, I just want to take all they have. And about Derrick, no, I won’t touch him. I’ve got a different way to handle that ex-husband of mine.” Fiona sounds so relaxed as if she’s figured out all that she’s planned on doing.

“And, I don’t know how you will do it but no one should ever find out that I am responsible for Smile’s unsuccessful wedding… not even Smiles! ” Smiles heard her warn.

Smiles’s legs grow numb, frozen at her spot. Never in her lifetime would she have thought that her mother, the same person she was happy to have finally found after a long time would be the same person for her pain and would be trying to ruin her husband’s life.

Unable to take it, She pushed the door open.

Fiona and Derrick were stunned to see her. They both knew she’d gone back with Keane, the last thing they would have ever thought was her coming back home uninformed.

“Honey?” Fiona calls, trying to act normal, “how long have you been outside?” She continues, flashing her a cheerful smile.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Smiles didn’t know what to say, staring at her mom made her sick. “How could you?” She asked in a cracked voice.

Fiona frowns, “What are you talking about honey? ” She asked, claiming to be clueless about what she was talking about.

“I thought you… were different, I thought you meant well all these while but you prove me wrong” Tears prickle down Smiles’s cheeks, face red from crying.

“All the pains I felt for five good years, it was never Keane but you who hurt me. How could you?” Smiles can swear she doesn’t believe this is real until she hits her palms on the wall and mistakenly injures herself.

She yelped in pain, holding her sprained wrist.

Fiona attempted to help her out but she blandly stopped her.

“I don’t need your help, keep it for yourself.” With that, she turns and leaves. She knows how she always reacts, she doesn’t want to jump to conclusions.

“Smiles, honey let me explain” Fiona begs, chasing her.

Smiles stops and turns to her, “What do you want to explain? That you did it all for revenge? What type of a bother are you that you prefer to put others in pain just because of your own selfish reason?” She yells, eyes staring at Fiona as if given the chance, she will let her feel all her pain and more.

“I lied to my children for five good years, you knew everything yet you sat quietly and watched me… you even encouraged me. You made me hate the person I love the most, you made me see him as a cheat and someone so black. You made me run away from the people who accepted me regardless of how petty and naive I was… why? “Smiles cries,” Why did you do it? ”

” They hurt me, they asked for it all. All I ever wanted was to make them pay ” Fiona cries, trying to explain.

Smiles nods, “If that’s your plan, then well done. ” She claps, praising her.

“You did more than you wished for, you didn’t only hurt me and keep your grandchildren away from their dad but you killed your grandchild in the process of your revenge, great job” Smiles stumps away leaving Fiona standing, perplexed about what she’s talking about.

“Nate and Kate are fine, what are you saying… Did something happen to them? Fiona asked climbing down stares at full speed to catch up with Smiles who was heading out.

” They are fine, perfectly fine. Keane is making sure they get all the love they missed. ” Smiles enter the car and close the door,” but… you killed your own grandson. Lisa was pregnant with Derrick, and because of what you did, she lost her baby. Hope you get to celebrate now, it’s all falling into place.” With that, Smiles kicked off the car and left.
