Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

*****

“Sir, it’s someone from the Madon’s company,” the man told Ben who was momentarily stunned.

“Madon? Jasper Madon’s company,” Ben asked again to make sure the man wasn’t telling a lie. Why would someone from the Madon company try to cause disruption in the stocks.

This company doesn’t have anything to offer Madon that is like the giant empire of the city. So why would they try to ruin this little company?

Ben tried to rack his brain to think of anyone he has somehow come in contact with from the Madon’s company. Who he might have offended but he couldn’t think of anyone.

So why? Is their CEO even aware of this? He has tried many times in the past to try and get a contract to work with them but it was always impossible. The CEO never seem to have time to see him.

Especially after his accident, that it now became practically hard to see him. So he can’t say he has offended the CEO before when he has literally never seen him.

He quickly sent a message for them to find out why they tried to ruin the company. At least if he knows the reason, he’ll try to avoid doing it again. After sending the message, he looked at the last contacts for him to call for help.

He called the first two. One didn’t even pick up the phone while the other gave an excuse. The last person he called is part of their company investors.

The old man didn’t reject or agree to help him. He only said,” I have one condition. Once you can do it, I’ll help you pay off all your debt without accepting a dime in return.”

Benedict’s eyes shone brightly when he heard this. He was both relieved and happy to find someone to finally help him without receiving anything in return.

But his happiness didn’t even last long. Cause when he heard the condition, a frown quickly replaced the smile on his face. He even started to sweat profusely.

“Sir, is that what you want?,” he asked again to make sure he isn’t hearing things.

“Yes, if you can agree to do it. I’ll even invest more money into your company and I don’t go back on my words. I don’t expect and won’t receive any dime in return,” he said before cutting the call.

Ben sighed and said,” He wants me… He wants me to…” He didn’t finish his statement before he sat down in frustration.

“Babe!!! You really believe that I am cheating on you,” Aiden said furiously. He doesn’t care if he’s shouting at her or not. How could she think he cheated on her?

They have been dating for years now and there should be at least an unmeasurable amount of trust between them now. He felt his heart tighten painfully at the thought that she didn’t trust him.

Was this what Sharon felt when she caught the two of them together? The pain is unbearable.

“Then explain the reasons why you have been asking me not to come visit you at work, why you changed your pin, why you have been staying late at work and why you have been receiving secretive calls… Tell me why Aiden!,” she cried out.

Aiden was really shocked at her question and the angry expression on her face. Like it’s not the familiar Sheila he knows that is standing in front of him. “What did you ever see in her?,” that thought just came out of nowhere.

He never thought he would feel like this someday. He took in deep breathe to stop himself from doing what he’ll regret later. His anger is horrible and forces him to do many things.

Sharon always told him that anytime he felt angry, he should just take in deep breathe to calm himself and he should never say anything in anger.

He gritted his teeth angrily. Sharon… Sharon again? Why is he constantly thinking of her? He closed his eyes and opened it feeling calm now.

“I’m so disappointed right now that you actually thought I could do that type of thing to you. Even when you begged me to date her, I never for once kissed her. Even pecking was rare and you knew about it,” he said lowly.

“It doesn’t mean! And that is not my question! Explain to me Aiden! Tell me why!?,” she shouted back.

“You know what? I’ve just realized that you are a bitch!!!,” Aiden retorted.

Sheila gasped as she couldn’t believe her ears. He just called her a bitch! A bitch! She smirked and clapped her hands.

“You calling me a bitch is cause of that wench right!? How come you realized it now that you were blind before!? You bastard,” she replied angrily.

“Yes, you are bitch! I can’t believe I wasted my money to plan a secret date for you!!! I even paid for the whole floor so we can have a romantic and private dinner all to ourselves. But then you come in here accusing me of cheating. God! I’m such a fool!,” Aiden shouted frustrated.

“You are such…” Sheila paused her words as soon as Aiden’s words sunk into her brain. She looked up at him.

“What do you mean? Private… Romantic dinner? What are you talking about?,” She asked as her complexion slowly turned pale.

Aiden snatched his phone from her hands and called someone. Sheila could hear a man say,”Sir don’t panick too much. Your date will go just fine and she’ll love the flowers you chose.”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Aiden sighed and said,”I want to cancel the date. We are not interested in it again. No need for refund. Just keep the money.”

“But sir, our plans are perfectly beau…” Aiden already cut the call. Sheila stood there gripping the edge of her cloth. She didn’t know what she’s supposed to do.

After calling him names and wrongly accusing him. Will he ever forgive her? She gulped and touched her stomach. He might be angry but he’ll never neglect his baby.

“Aiden… Please forgive me. I really didn’t mean…,” Sheila stopped talking as he pointed towards the door.

“Get out of the office right now! I don’t want to talk to you! So kindly leave since I’m asking you nicely and not throwing you out,” he said still furious.

Sheila gasped in pain and held her stomach. Aiden walked forward to help her but then he stopped before he could reach there. He vividly remember what she had just done so instead of helping her he called someone into the office to help her out.

As they helped her out, he refused to look at her or even listen to her pleas. As soon as she left, he kicked his table angrily.

He felt guilty when he had to pretend to date Sharon. He felt even more guilty when he found out how nice and kindhearted she is. And the fact that he was taking advantage of that by falsely dating her. He was both guilty and relieved when she finally found out about him and Sharon.

So why is this thought that he made a mistake by letting her go surfacing in his head over and over again? Why is this just happening now? Did he really make a mistake by letting her go?

Sharon looked around in awe as they walked into the most popular shopping mall in the city. Vee shopping mall has always been prominent. It has been in existence for a very long time.

It changed with the way time and things changed. And it gradually raised to fame. Sharon adjusted the baby carrier so Tia can rest on her chest comfortably.

She was about to take the baby’s bag when Lena stopped her and took it instead. Then they walked in. Sharon gasped taking in the beauty of the mall. Everywhere glittering just like diamonds.

Many shop attendants ran towards them as they noticed the amount of bodyguards behind them. They are thinking that if they are able to serve the two ladies well, they may get a great commission.

But Lena already figured out their intentions so instead she called a shop attendant who was standing faraway from them. The lady was watching them curiously. She didn’t follow the others. She only stood faraway with no intention of arguing with the rest.

She was very surprised when Lena called her. The other shop attendants turned to glare at her wondering how a newbie like her want to take their place. She couldn’t endure the sharp hateful glares so she had to look down as she walked towards Lena.

She greeted Lena respectfully not willing to look up to them. Lena smiled already liking the girl. She then said,” Take me to your best section. My sister in-law needs new clothes.”

Sharon was stunned and opened her mouth wide agape as Lena pulled her away. Sister in-law!!! ⁉️
