Ruin The Billionaire

Ashley.

Billionaire Mark Humphries did not like to be kept waiting. He would blow up a fuse if anyone did not promptly follow his orders. This was how I ended up forgetting the tracking phone liked to Jake’s at home, right before a two week vacation in the Netherlands. I only realised it when the plane was already in the air.

“Fvck,” I said, immediately getting agitated.

“Are you okay, darling?” the old man asked, glancing at me over the newspaper he was reading.

“Yeah,” I said and rolled my eyes when he turned back to his paper.

“What’s wrong?”

“I realised I forgot something.”

He placed the paper on the couch and smiled at me. “You do not need to worry about anything when you’re with me, sweetheart. You have my unlimited card. When we land, you can by whatever you wish. You can replace everything that you’ve forgotten with new ones.”

What an idiot. Did he think anything could just be replaced with money? The man had lost touch with reality because of having too much money. The fact that he could give a high maintenance model like myself an unlimited card said a lot about the crazy money he had. He had more than Jake Rylland. Unfortunately for him, age, looks and time were not on his side. And I was not about to marry an old rich man for money when I could marry a young rich one.

“Come here, baby.”

I felt disgusted but I had to smile, get up and go to him. For the money, I reminded myself. For money, I would do almost anything. I set for myself very high standards that could not be maintained without a lot of money.

I sat next on his lap. He was so weak I worried I would crush his legs. Thankfully, I was quite skinny and knew he could handle it. Mark brought his old wrinkled lips to mine and kissed me sloppily. I hated it so much but had to pretend I was enjoying it, throwing in a moan for maximum effect.

After some minutes, he told me to leave which was a relief. Clearly, he had not yet taken his blue pill. The man had such a low sex drive he could barely get it on without Viagra. But he was always looking for the next top model to date. Instead of retiring and living peaceful in a country house, he was trying to hold on to youthful activities. All I hoped for was that he did not end up dying while we were together. I loved publicity but that was too extreme and shameful.

Netherlands is beautiful and has many gifts of nature. I enjoyed the trip there but was so angry that I couldn’t keep track of Jake’s activities. I didn’t even know what he was up to. No one was reporting on him so I could tell he was laying low. I had no idea whether that was a good thing or not.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

It was when I returned that I found out that there was nothing good about it. He was secretly dating that boring newspaper chick. I felt insulted. Had it been heather, I would have understood. For him to choose some chick who probably knew nothing about class over me was so discouraging. Clearly, Jake was not as intelligent as I had assumed. I mean, most men are not but this was disappointing.

Before it could go far, I had to break them up. I took time to think and collect information before attacking. I found out that Jake’s mother did not know and they were trying to keep her from finding out. From Jake and Lilith’s chats, I wasn’t able to tell why but I had got my card. I had to play it well to achieve great results.

I found out that Carrie Rylland was attending a fundraising dinner in Brooklyn. Using my connections, I was able to secure myself an invite within minutes. When the day came, I dolled myself up and went to meet my future mother in law. Carrie was known to be snarky and a bit evil. I was happy, because that was the type of mother in law I wanted. We would compete for the affection of her son, I would win and show her her place. I didn’t think that old woman was a match for me when it came to wickedness.

It was unfortunate that I wasn’t able to secure a seat close to her. When the dinner was over, I found her at the parking lot and introduced myself.

“So, you’re of the women who has been fvcked and dumped by my son.”

My lips parted. For a classy looking lady, she was very crass. One day, I hoped to put her in her place.

“Not really. I have never been dumped. Your son is a bit confused, that’s all. Anyway, I have some information that I think you’d like. I wanted to tell you, but now I think it’s better to go to the press. They might appreciate it more and put it to good use.”

Carrie smiled. “Sorry for the confusion, darling. I was thinking about someone else when I made that comment. You look amazing.”

I smiled. How was this woman even related to Jake? They were so different.

“What is it you’d like to tell me?”

“It’s about who your son is secretly dating, but first I need money.”

Carrie Rylland laughed hard. “You’re so stupid, little girl. You’ve just told me everything I need to know, that my son is secretly dating someone. It’ll be so easy for me to find out who. Trust me, by the end of today, I’ll be having that information. Thank you so much for letting me know. Now, get out of my face, little girl.”

I was left in total shock as she passed by, knocking my shoulder for more effect. I turned and watched her as she waltzed towards a range rover with her head held high.

Clearly, I had underestimated Carrie Rylland.
