The Billionaire Secret Admirer

“You are feeling like a victor right? You thought I have forgotten what you did. You planned with Silas and took almost everything i worked hard for and now he is gone and nowhere to be found. You are dating your millionaire Ohio and life is obviously good with you. This fight is not yet over Becca. I will really get back at you in an unexpected way…you will vomit everything that Silas took from me. I even sold my car, emptied my account for him after buying into his lies. He duped me and ran off ever since. You masterminded the plan with him and he gave you part of what he stole from me right? No problem Becca…. I’m just here to tell you that this fight you started is not over yet. We will meet and this time around I will beat you without mercy. You will provide everything that Silas your thief boyfriend took from me. I have trailed him and even reported to the police but they are not taking enough action to find him. The people at the gym denied knowing him. They said he comes to the gym often and goes but he is not part of them. Since the police are slow in taking the proper action to get him, I have decided to do it myself and since I got to know him through you, I will start from you. You won’t be spared by the time I’m done. Mark my word. I leave you to think over this. Enjoy your impotent Ohio for now because that may not last. Fool!

She started walking away. I shouted after her.

“Jojo, you cannot do anything, go to hell with your empty threats. I have no business with you or with Silas whom you were ridding like a horse or have you forgotten so soon. You can’t do anything and if you ever try rubbish with me I will give you more dose of the last time beating. Stay away from me and from my house. You have no business coming around here and vomiting trash….

Jojo was gone, I went inside my apartment fuming.

My birthday was next week and Melinda’s wedding follows immediately. I have a lot of things to keep me busy. Ohio asked me what I wanted for my 30th birthday and I couldn’t come up with any plan. I told him I will be fine with anything he decided to get for me. And he nodded with a smile.

I have better things coming up this week to keep my mind occupied. Jojo is less of my problems.

Jojo really have guts to come and threaten me. I thought she was very wise and smart, how come Silas was able to dupe her and take all she had? And she has the effrontery to come and threaten me that she will deal with me? Jojo is mad and very stupid if she thinks I’m afraid of her empty threats.

Days turned into weeks and my birthday arrived. I didn’t have any big plans for it, as usual all I wanted was to stay home and maybe get a 30th birthday gift for myself and do whatever that will make me happy.

Birthday is not a big deal for me any more like it used to be before. Maybe because I’m getting older. I look forward to it and when the day arrives it seem normal. I don’t write out resolutions or what I want to achieve in the New Year, I just flow with life. Whatever that comes I go with it.

Ohio may want us to chill out either at his place or any cool spot, he may want Dora, his cook to make something for the house and we will eat happily together. The highest thing he will do is to get me a birthday gift.

I don’t want to have high hopes or expect too much because sometimes disappointment leaves me shattered. Ever since my 28th birthday that my expectations from Richard came crashing at my feet, I stopped expecting too much from people.

I got a call from my parents, few friends and colleagues wishing me a happy birthday. Ohio also called that morning to wish me a happy birthday. He asked me to get ready that afternoon so that we can hang out.

I knew it won’t be more than that, I obeyed and got dressed. Jojo came to my mind as I was rounding up with my makeup. Is unfortunate that Silas played a smart one on her. Who could have thought Silas was capable of such. He appears as a nice guy and it was hard to suspect him. I don’t know how he managed to dupe almighty Jojo.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Maybe I could have been his victim if I was interested in him. He probably saw the type of woman Jojo was and decided to deceive her with his sugar coated lies. I feel pity for Jojo who will have to start all over again, from a scratch. She have to end up getting a reasonable job first to support herself and quit her old lifestyle of milking people, especially men with deceit.

Today is my day and I will not let Jojo’s thought to bother me at all. Ohio was coming to take me out. I will laugh and let loose of future fears because I can’t change whatever God has predestined for me. Whatever is meant to be will definitely come to past.

Ohio kept to time and came just when I was doing the final touch on my facial make up. He had a gift bags in hand, I knew it was for me, he handed them to me just as expected. He looks nervous and kept chatting with his phone. Calls were coming into his phone, he excused himself and stepped outside to receive it. It was unlike him acting all secretive yet I did not pay attention to it. I supposed to be the nervous one not him because is my birthday but I wasn’t. I thanked him for the gifts and kept the bags aside without opening them. I wore a simple white jean trouser and off shoulder flower top. He asked me to change the cloth with one of the gown that he bought for me.

I never knew what was inside the bag, I quickly checked and saw beautiful gowns and a burgundy ankle strap sandals. I was very excited on seeing those unexpected gifts. I hugged him tight and changed into one of the gown and the shoe.

I asked him to check me out and he looks speechless. Ohio got my shoe size right, the colors were beautiful, the gown fit perfect and I feel fabulous in them.

He smile and said I look great. He took my hands and we stepped out. I don’t know exactly where we were going or what he has in mind, I trust him and did not even bother to know.

Melinda did not call to wish me happy birthday, Joe has traveled back to meet with his wife and kids but he never fail to call on my every birthday and he did that again today.

I noticed that Ohio was driving towards Lili’s restaurant, he probably wanted us to chill at his cousin’s place and I was very okay with it. I will get to eat my special food at least. I was already feeling good with my fine dressing, all thanks to Ohio who wanted to make sure the day was indeed a special one.

He kept taking a peep at me through his review mirror all through our drive to Lili’s place. I knew he was admiring me. I checked myself again if my makeup was still perfectly in order.
