The Billionaire's Secret Lover

The alarm beep at seven in the morning, I slammed my hand angrily at it. I couldn't get enough sleep last night. I was thinking about Mia Walker and Michael, he shows me a side of him that makes me want to protect him and stand by his side always.

I threw the cover away as I stood up and went into the bathroom to shower and get ready for work. Remembering the interview I was to have with Austin, I quickly dressed up in a black peplum gown and make my way out of the apartment with my car key in my hand.

Opening the door to my car, I saw Deborah Melton rushing to meet me, she was clad in a red bareback gown and fully caked with makeup. She walked up to me and smiled.

“Can I get a lift to my dad's company? ” She asked batting her eyelashes at me. I was surprised, was she not the same person who asks me to stay away from Michael yesterday? Why is she here this morning?.

“Why?” I ask her after resolving not to trust or believe anything she say anymore.

“I heard that Austin will be having an interview today. I just want to watch it. It's been a long I've seen a handsome face” She replied smiling at me.

“You knew Austin?” I laugh nervously “ Pardon my forgetful memory, I've forgotten that you met him at the masquerade ball.

“Duh… I know Austin much more than you would ever imagine ” I was shocked, well it not possible for her not to know him, I mean they are both socialite and rich. I insert the key into the ignition and pull out of the driveway.

“Why are you here, Deborah?. Cuz right now, I know you hate me more than anyone in the world ” I said as I glance at her briefly before focusing on the road.

“Yes. I do hate you more than anyone in the world right now and I meant every word I said last night ” She replied as her face harden.

“And what if I don't,” I ask, cos as at last night I've decided to give love a second chance. And that chance at love won't happen if I stay away from Michael. Whatever happens, I will fight for the one I love.

My subconscious shriek and scream and she jumped up and down happily. I smile as I drove to the office.

“Then get ready for battle. I'm not going to back down so easily " Deborah said as she chews her bottom lip thoughtfully.

I ignore her as I continue driving to the office“ If you and Austin knew each other more than I could ever imagine” I turned to face her as I maneuvered the car into the company's driveway and off it.

“ Then perhaps you may know what happened to his sister ” I continue facing her.

She unbuckles her seatbelt and looks at me briefly smiling “ Of course. That was in the news, very popular back then ”

“Really?” I asked my interest spike as I wait on her to tell me what happened to Austin's sister. I can't believe I will finally be getting answers today.

“Do you want to know who killed her? ” She asked me about getting ready to leave.

“She was killed?” I asked shocked.

“Yes. And guess who killed her” I sat there waiting for her to supply me with the name but I didn't expect her to turn and catwalk into the building.
