THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

‘Hello, there. I didn’t see you at work yesterday. I heard you were hospitalized. Hope everything is fine with you?’, Sophia asked Ellie, in a tone that can be mistaken for that of care and empathy. Sophia had met Ellie in the washroom.

‘I am fine, thank you’, Ellie said, ignoring Sophia and washing her hands.

‘Is your baby fine?’, Sophia asked, smiling which made Ellie halt in her action.

‘What did you just say?’, Sophia said, surprised by the statement Sophia had uttered.

‘I asked about your baby. You are wondering how I got to know about your pregnancy? That’s why I am Sophia Porous, I find out whatsoever I want to know’, Sophia said, boastfully.

‘So, what are you going to do about it?”, Ellie asked, smirking.

‘Are you scared you will finally lose Edward to me?’, Ellie asked, smiling.

‘Scared? I don’t have to be scared because I know you won’t give birth to this child’, Sophia said, looking at Ellie’s tummy and laughing hysterically.

‘What do you mean by that?’, Ellie asked, scared about what Sophia had said.

‘Wait, do you mean I will allow you give birth to your child after destroying my home? No, darling, I am not that nice. I am going to make sure you spend your entire life in pain. I will make sure I frustrate you the same way you are frustrating me right now. Just wait and watch how it ends’, Sophia said, walking away but what dragged back by Ellie. Ellie dragged her down, putting her head in the washing had basin, under the running tap. Sophia was unable to breathe, struggling for her life. When Ellie had had fun enough, she let go of Sophia, making her collapse on the floor breathing heavily.

‘You will do what? Kill my child? I dare you. I dare you to touch a strand of my hair and see what happens to you. I told you not to cross my path. This is just a tip of the iceberg of what will happen to you if you try to get in my way. Don’t dare me, Ellie. Touch my baby and see how crazy a mother can be’, Ellie said, angrily, walking away.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Sophia was left there breathing heavily and feeling cold. After struggling to stand up, Sophia stood in front of the mirror looking at herself in the mirror.

‘I am going to destroy her. I promise’, Sophia yelled, angrily. Picking up her phone, she dialed Jack’s number.

‘Where the fucking hell are you?’, Sophia yelled at Jack over the phone. Without waiting for Jack’s response, she continued.

‘You know what? Get me a new dress from the mall. And make sure you get your ass over here as soon as possible or else, I am going to kill you’, Sophia said, hanging up on Jack and throwing her phone at the glass, which made the glass cracked.

Ellie, however, went to Edward’s office to talk with him.

‘Hello, babe. How are you doing?’, Edward said, smiling upon seeing Ellie entering.

‘I am fine, my love. I have something to ask of you’, Ellie said, having her seat close to Edward.

‘What’s that?’, Edward asked with keen interest.

‘About the sketch designs, can you get someone to do that for me? I am planning on meeting with Natalia as soon as possible. I heard from Clinton that Sophia is already making her moves to getting close to the Evans’ family’, Ellie said, with urgency in her voice.

‘She is?’, Edward asked, surprised.

‘Yes, she is. She met with Clinton the same day I met with him and even offered her body to him just to have her way with the family’, Ellie said.

‘Like seriously? She seems to be willing to go to any extent to bring us down. As for the sketch designs, I will get someone to work on that’, Edward said, assuring Ellie.

While in the middle of their talk, Edward’s office line rang. It was the security on the line.

‘Hello, sir. I would like to speak with Miss Ellie’, the guard said.

‘Okay. The call is for you’, Edward said, passing the phone over to Ellie.

‘Hello, this is Ellie. How may I assist you?’, Ellie said, upon taking the call.

‘Hello, Miss Ellie. Someone is here to see you’, the guard said.

‘To see me? And who is that?’, Ellie asked as she wasn’t expecting anybody.

‘He said his name is Kevin’, the guard said. Upon hearing this, Ellie went silent, and she was all engulfed with fear. Although she had promised herself to face Kevin and iron things out, she still felt scared on hearing Kevin’s name. Her hand began to shake, and which Edward noticed.

‘Ellie are you sure you are fine?’, Edward asked, feeling concerned.

‘Should I permit him to come in?”, the guard asked over the phone, but Ellie couldn’t respond as she wasn’t sure if she was ready to face Kevin.

‘Ellie?’, Edward said, shaking her, when he noticed she was in another world of her own.

‘Yes, I am fine’, Ellie managed to say after coming to her senses.

‘Hello, Miss. Are you still with me?’, the guard asked, when he didn’t get any response from Ellie.

‘Just tell him to wait there, I will come and meet him’, Ellie managed to say in a low voice, putting down the phone.

‘What’s that all about?’, Edward asked, upon Ellie hanging up.

‘It’s nothing. A friend is just here to see me’, Ellie said, trying to waive off the topic.

‘Nothing? But you zoned out completely while in the middle of that call’, Edward asked concerned, looking into Ellie’s eyes, trying to figure out what she was thinking.

‘If you don’t mind, can I step out for a while? I need to meet with my friend’, Ellie said, excusing herself, not waiting for Edward’s confirmation. Watching her disappear from his sight, Edward became worried as to what was going on with Ellie.

As Ellie took each step towards where Kevin was, her heart was beating heavily as she was unsure if she would be able to endure the trauma that was about to befall her.
