《The Two Billionaires》Chapter 9
Advertisement
Life's a bi*ch, it keeps trying to put you in the worst situations, you have an option of hiding, trying to escape from that, and you also have an option to fight back, face it till you beat it.
I tried the first one, didn't quite work out. So now it's time to face him, to show the snake that he could no longer see my past as a weakness.
When life gives you lemons, don't bother making lemonade, squeeze the lemon into your enemies eyes. Fight till you are known for it. I straightened the collar of my blazer, my head held high. I waited for the snake to come to me like a lamb to a butcher. He will not know what hit him.
The door opened and Lisa poked her head in, "Mr Rian is here to meet you." She said. I smiled, yes be terrified when I smile, because it means I know a way to put you back to the place you deserve.
"Bring him in." I told her. Adam Rian barged into my office, no doubt feeling like he is on top of the world. Don't worry the higher you rise, more chances for you to fall down deeper.
"I knew you would give in." I heard him mock. Ouch I'm so hurt, that was the worst insult of my life. How am I gonna live with that insult, thought so never, me worried about him. Please he doesn't have enough standards to hurt me.
"What do you want Adam?" I asked, even though I knew the answer. The greedy pig would never be satisfied with anything.
"I told you help my company." He answered. Ugh the self mocking smile. I can think of a hundred scenarios with the same result, him going out on a wheelchair.

"And if I do it, you will stay away from them." I confirmed.
"Yep, never liked them." He shrugged.
"I had my lawyer, draw up a contract. It states that I take complete responsibility of your losses, and will have a special team in your company." I stated for his benefit.
"I don't want anything with the company. I just want money. I couldn't save money in my company." Adam said unconcerned.
"Hard to save money if you use it for gambling." I mocked.
"So you keep track of my life." He said with a wicked gleam in his eyes. "After everything that happened, you still think about me, then maybe we could take things to a personal level."
I scoffed, leave the pig to think rubbish. "Have you heard keep your enemies closer than your friends."
"We were never friends, it was something more." He tried in a seductive voice.
"Yes, it was something more, the level of hatred I had for you was special." I countered. "Just sign the papers." I gave up. Talking to him was exhausting.
"You like talking to me, admit it." He grinned.
"Yes I have do have a habit of sometimes being with stupid people, to estimate how smart I can be." I said. Take that lunatic, have a comeback for that. Adam's ltiny brain couldn't process a suitable comeback so he wisely shut his mouth and signed the document on the table.
"I expect my company will do wonderful, if not I can sue you." He warned. My eyebrow rose, who is this idiot using my money, my hard work and warning me. Time will one day bitch slap him, I'd like to see that.
"I didn't learn my job from you, so obviously it will be the best. Now get out of my office." I said eyes narrowed.

Adam like the spoiled brat he is, got what he wanted. He winked at me, when I didn't bat an eye he sighed dramatically and left.
I fell back on my chair, rubbing my forehead with the tip of my fingers. I have a plan, but who am I kidding. Which plan actually works out? The moment you try your plan all hell breaks loose. Adam could sometimes be smart, yeah you heard me right. Pray and hope he doesn't figure things out.

Emma pov
I hate my life.
You think I'm dramatic, get engaged to an idiot who whose intelligence level is lesser than a donkey. Seriously those animals don't deserve to be compared to him.
How did you think, you would react when your engaged to Adam Rian. Someone pity me. I came home expecting that my grandfather had finally kicked the bucket. Never in dreams did I see this coming.
I had dreams of opening an art studio. I loved painting, my earliest memories were of my mom holding my hand and teaching me to paint. But Dad warned me to agree to his stupid deal. Adam promised to take care of my mom's hospital bills. The only reason I agreed to this nonsense.
"Sweetheart where are you?" The annoying voice chirped. Wanna guess who that is, whose the biggest drama queen, of course it's Adam. I ignored his voice and finished doing the dishes. I just wanted to get some dinner and retreat to my room, really not ready to deal with anyone.
Hands wrapped around my waist, Adam rested his head on my shoulder, causing me to flinch. The pighead thought it was a shudder and smirked. I wanted nothing more shoving a knife down his throat.
"You want to do something interesting love." He whispered into my ear, tears filled up in my eyes. What did I do to deserve this?
"Call me love once again and I will personally make sure you lack a limb or two." I warned. Manipulative men like him usually prey on weakness of people, they take advantage of people's fear.
Adam's nostrils flared, he looked mad enough to actually hit me. Freaking put your hands on me, I'll make sure you rot in jail for the rest of your life.
He must have sensed the determination in my face, he snapped "Keep up this act, but once you are married to me. I will show you what your place is."
I wanted nothing more than to punch him. But my mom's memories held me back. I glared at him. Be strong Emma, it is the only choice you have.
I fell on my bed and sobbed. It's the only thing that would give me some solitude.
