Chapter 59 Chapter Fifty Nine
MARK’S POV
“Sir, Miss Bella is here to see you. She’s waiting downstairs as I speak.” I raised my head from thestack of files on the desk as the voice sounded through the telecom.
I reclined in my seat and wondered why she was here this time. Has she cooked up some lie shewas very convinced that I would believe? I won’t be surprised if she says she now has leukemia.
I leaned forward and pressed the call button. “Let her in!”
Let’s hear what she has up her sleeves this time.
“Right away, sir,” the voice on the other end came immediately.
Few seconds later, I watched as the door creaked back as it was gently pushed open. Bella walkedin.
My eyes scanned her from head to toe; she was dressed in a black turtlen*eck dress that tightly.hugged her graceful figure, her plum l*ps were coated in a rich red color and a large fancy, blackrimmed sunglass sat on her delicate nose and obscured her expression from any onlooker. “Hello,Mark, she said in a detached voice as she stood before me, her obviously newly manicured fingersheld onto the top of the seat.
I took in a deep breath and exhaled. “Take a seat,” I said indifferently and gestured toward one ofthe two empty chairs on the other side if the table. Then I sat straight and clasped my palms.together on the table. “Why have you come? What do you want to talk about?”
Her hand slid down the top of the seat as she took a seat on one of the chairs. Her sunglasseswere still on as she tipped up her chin and faced me. “I’m her for my break up fee,” she blurted. outbluntly, no pleasantries, nothing. Then her shoulders raised in a slight shrug that i would havemissed it if I was not staring at her so intently, struggling to decipher who the woman befure mewas. I mean I’ve been with you for so long; I can’t leave with nothing. Her voice was so cold anddevoid of its usually faked warmth that it sounded foreign to my ears.
I reclined back in my seat, my fingers twirled a ballpen as I regarded her, my gaze scrutinizing her. Iwas extremely glad that she was now being true. She was finally throwing all caution to the air andshowing me her true self.
“I demand a response, Mark.” Her brows lifted above the rims of the glasses she had on, “I believeI’m not talking to myself.”
Her audacity almost made me laugh out loud. But I couldn’t. The whole situation was almostunbelievable. It sent chills through me. So this is Bella’s real personality. This is who she really was.A true unabashed gold digger! All this while, I had allowed a gold digger be by my side. Does herparents know about their daughter’s schemes? Or they were the one that even put her to it.Perhaps she took after her parents. I hadn’t even had time to go to them and give them a piece ofmy mind. But one thing was sure, I will be pulling out all of my investments from their crookedcompany.
Perhaps it was her outer beauty that blinded me to all of these? I got swept by the front she put upthat I overlooked everything and everyone else. If only I had been kinder to Sydney.
I blinked and shook my head. No thoughts of Sydney.
“Bella,” I started calmly, “I thought there was love between us. After I ended things with you at thehospital, I didn’t expect your first words when we happen to meet again to be a demand for abreakup fee.”
“Yes, Mark. There was love between us and I did love you,” she shrugged, more prominently thistime, “But what can I say, I love myself more. We all do. Then she removed her sunglasses andfixed me with a cold glare I had never seen on her in all the years I had known her, “Since everychance of getting married to you and being your wife has been wrecked, I must look out for myself. Isee nothing wrong with that.”
Chapter 59 Chapter Fifty Niue
For a moment, I thought of asking her to get out and calling in the security to drag her out if sherefused but that will only cause unnecessary drama and I suspect it will only push her into comingback and what I wanted now was to have her off my back and out of my life. novelbin
I opened the down drawer by my right and brought out one of my bank cards. Then I placed it onthe table and pushed it to the other side of the table where she would be able to reach it.
I pulled my hand back and nodded at the card. “There is a million dollars in that card. Maybe evenmore. Take it all. It is enough to start a new lavish life.”
I didn’t miss the speed with which she snatched the bank card from the table. She avoided my gazeas she tucked it into her bag. Then she looked up. This isn’t enough. You promised to acquire theLuxe vogue for me, and you haven’t done that yet.”
I scoffed as I remembered the promise I had made to her when I was on top of her. How dumb wasthe girl? “You believe what a man says in bed?” I scoffed again. “Don’t be ridiculous, Bella.” Sheresponded instantly. “I will be ridiculous if that will make you fulfill your promise. You promised methe Luxe vogue and now I want it.”
I regarded her, my eyes searching hers. Was she for real?
“I cannot get you the Luxe vogue,” I said firmly. “Besides, me telling you that I would get it for you ishardly a promise.”
She shrugged nonchallantly, “It might be a promise, it might not be a promise, it’s not my business,she bit out. You made me a promise and you have to fulfill it. But don’t worry if you don’t feel theneed to. It’s fine.”
I squinted at her, where was she going with this?
She continued, “Just don’t be surprised if I decide to sell our intimate moments to the gossipmagazines. I am sure the public would be happy to see the n*ked ass of their favorite CEO andyour fangirls will relish seeing your hard cock all over the net just with a tap on their screen.” Shesmirked when she saw me clench my fists on the table, I have lots of such videos and photos.” Icast her an equally cold look. Now I was very sure that any bit or crumb of love, care, pity oraffection that I ever had for her was gone. It had been extinguished to the very last crumb. All 1 felttowards her right now was a rapidly growing disdain.
“Fine. I will secure the Luxe vogue for you.”
She smirked but when I raised my finger, the smirk vanished. “You should know that I am notscared of you baseless and spineless threats. It’s because the love I once had for you has nowmorphed into simmering hatred and all I want is to just have you out of my sight and life.” Then Iheld her gaze. “If there is a next time, I assure you, I enunciated each word, “You won’t be able tobear the consequences.”
Regardless of my warning, she rolled her eyes as she smiled satisfactorily. “Whatever.” Then shestood up, walked around the table and swiftly placed a quick k*ss on my checks. I gritted my teeth,sure that there would be a stain of her red l*pstick, outlining her l*ps on my cheeks right
now.
I held myself, clenching my hands into fists until my fingers started to dig into my palm. If I shouldact on my brimming anger, I won’t be surprised if I flung her across the room.
She straightened up and chirped, “Thank you, Mr. CEO, I look forward to it.” She added, “Make itquick then I will be out of your life like I was never there in the first place.”
Then she turned and I watched her walk out of my office, the sound of her high heels echoed in theempty office, even after she was out the door, I could still hear the low echoes as her footstepsrecede.
I wiped the l*pstick mark she left on my cheek and dialed my executive office. I ordered coldly,“Email the founders of Luxe vogue again. Request for an acquisition of the website and company.Give them any amount they request for. By any means necessary, make sure you acquire it.”
