MR BILLIONAIRES MRS CLUMSY
Episode 7
~ Eva ~
Getting out of Mr. King’s car, I bidded him good night and straight walked towards my apartment. Today was quite hectic, all arrangements, travelling and then that moron who was eye r@ping me. I just wanted to smack him in his face but I controlled myself. And when Mr. King saw it, he too seemed very angry but afterall he was all doing it to save his reputation. After all he did say that that the sales man was eyeing his fiance, still I thanked him genuinely.
I rang the doorbell and within no time the door swing open, revealing two female specie standing. One grinning happily and other evilly.
“C’mon sissy!! Come in!! And tell me what happened!!”, Liza ushered me inside and made me sit on couch. Chloe closed door and came in living room to join us.
“Nothing, we just did important wedding arrangements, nothing else.”, I said shooking my head.
“Ohh please sissy!! I still don’t believe that you are getting married, that too with him!! I mean you used to hate him and now immediately you love him that you are getting married!! I really don’t believe this!! Yesterday morning you shoved off all the details but right now at this moment I want to know everything!! And by the way, in the press conference he said that he was hypnotized by your beauty when you first met!! But your side of story was different!! I am really confused! I mean one day you both are fighting and next day I get the news that my lovey sissy is getting married……”, She continued her blabbering and I looked at Chloe expectedly, she shrugged and went to kitchen. Traitor!!! How I am gonna tell this little girl that all this is nothing but a set up!!
“Liz!! Liz!! Shh!! Calm down!!”, I stopped her never ending train of blabber. She took a deep breath and nodded.
“Okay first thing, I am really getting married because I love him!! I don’t know how, why and when!! But I did fell in love with that man. He makes me feel secure, spending time with him makes feel special. He is supportive, loving, caring, humourous. I don’t know how he fell in love with a girl like me but he did. And I can’t help but feel ecstatic. He is my peace now”, I said sincerely all the while playing Liam’s image in my mind.
“Omg!! Aaron King is going to be my brother-in- law!!”, She said and his name brought me back to reality. I wish it was your name Liam!! But I could just wish!! “I am gonna tell all my friends and make them jealous!! You know sissy, he has such a great female fan following, most of my classmates even have his photo as their wallpaper. I still can’t believe that he is going to be your husband. I am so excited!!”, She squealed in excitement forgetting her real question. “Sissy!! Sissy!! I want to meet him!!”, She said.
“What!? No!!”, I immediately denied and she raised her brows quizzically. “I mean, he is always busy!! Why to waste his time-”
“I said I want to meet him!! I am giving my sister to him!! I need to meet him and shove some threats in his brain that not too hurt you in any manner!!”, She said dramatically while placing her hands on h!ps.
“Ohh drama queen!! She said he will be busy then why to disturb him”, Chloe came with two coffee mugs.
“No!! Sissy, I am coming with you tomorrow morning and that’s final!! Good night!!”, Liza declared and bounced towards her room. Chloe chuckled while staring at her excited retreating figure and passed me a mug of coffee.
“So how was your day?”, She asked taking a sip.
“I behaved as you told me. Excited and happy”, I replied.
“Good”, she smirked.
“Now will you please explain why you told me to behave all happy infront of him when all I wanted to do was chop off his head!!”, I snapped irritatedly. I seriously don’t know how I kept smiling all the time infront of that pighead. My acting classes during highschool really paid off.
“Kill ’em with kindness”, she replied.
“Did you just quoted Selena Gomez!!??”, I asked and she chuckled.
“We don’t want to make him suspicious that you are planning to make his life living hell after wedding, so just be kind with him”, she tried to reason out but I still doubt!! He will think I am bipolar, one day I am ignoring him and next day I am all sweet towards him.
“Why am I getting second thoughts about your this whole ‘kindness’ act”, I said air quoting last second word.
“What?? You doubt me!! Ohh c’mon!! Just be calm and kind towards him. That’s all I want!!”, She persisted and I nodded after rolling my eyes. “By the way, mom and dad will be coming this Monday evening, you have lot to tell them. Get ready to face the dev!ls!!”, she mocked.
“Thanks for your concern, babe!!”, I said sarcastically.
“My pleasure”, she said fanning herself.
“Fine!! I am tired, good night!”, I said and stood up.
“What?? Why sleep?? What am I supposed to do??”, She asked shoving her hands around in air.
“Go to you apartment and get some sleep you insomniac patient!!”, I mumbled and stretched my arms as a yawn released my mouth.
“Rude!! I feel alone there!!”, She said faking a sniff.
“My couch will always welcome you”, I forced smile and made my way towards bedroom.
“I have such a pathetic life, and such an evil COUSIN CU.M FRIEND!!”, She yelled at last three words.
I turned before entering my bedroom and smirked at her, “Believe me darling, this is the best you can get”, I yelled back waving my hand up and down on myself.
“You b!tch!!”, She yelled and ran towards me. I was about to close door but Liza beat me to it and held it open.
“Very good my princess!!”, Chloe praised and Liza giggled.
“Didn’t you went to sleep!!”, I forced my words out as they both were trying to open door.
“I heard you guys shouting so I came”, she said, the exact moment Chloe opened door and tackled me on bed and both started tickling me.
Don’t know how, but me and Chloe teamed up and were now tickling Liza.
“You backstabber!! I was help-hel-helping you!!”she said prying Chloe’s hands off her. We three were laughing like maniacs.
“Liz!!”, I said and nodded towards Chloe. Liza smirked and now Chloe was our next prey.
The night dozed off with our chatting, laughing and reminiscing old days.
****___****
Next Morning, 8:15 AM
“Let’s go, Liza!!”, I called from living room and she rushed outside. She was wearing a simple blue jeans and white crop top.
While I was wearing a blush pink crop top and leather pencil skirt with pink wedges that Chloe gifted me on my 20th birthday. Don’t worry, I am able to walk in wedges!! I am not gonna make a joke of myself.
Chloe dropped us and went to her own way but not before warning me in whisper to behave kind towards Mr. Pighead. I nodded meekly and as soon as I started walking towards entrance, out of nowhere swamp of reporters caged us between them. I tried to escape but they were adamant and started showering me with questions. Liza frightened and clutched onto my side tightly. Immediately guards came and someone pulled me towards them, when I tilted up I saw Mr. King, his eyes filled with worry and concern.
“Are you okay Miss. Collins?? I am so sorry, how can I forget to assign some bodyguards with you!! You okay?”, he asked frantically. “You okay dear?”, He asked Liza and she nodded while blushing at his endearment. He was wearing a black suit and his hair bit messy due to continuously running hands through them.
“Let’s go to my cabin”, he said and we nodded. While going towards elevator, Lily passed me a look of concern and I nodded with assurance but didn’t miss the smirk that she gave me later. I have a lot to tell her!! We entered his private elevator and he pressed for his floor.
“Miss. Collins, no physical injury right??”, He asked checking me and Liza up and down with concern. We shooked our head and he sighed in relief.
“Why does he call you by surname?”, Liza whispered me to me and I gulped.
“We need to behave professional infront of employees”, I pulled out a fake reason from the pool of my lies.
“But we are alone now”, she said and I gritted my teeths.
Ding!! The elevator opened, “Let’s go Eva”, he said and strode out. He heard it!! Liza smiled in relief.
“Let’s go”, she said and pulled me out. As soon as we entered, Liza gasped at the interior of office. “This is so classy!!”, She complimented in whisper, I nodded my head.
“Have a seat Mi- Uhh Eva!! Have a seat dear”, he said to both of us and Liza once again blushed. Teenage harmones I tell you!!
“Wow!! What is this??”, She said eyeing something on couch. I saw her looking at the pile of different invitation cards lying on his couch.
“Ahh yes, Mis- I mean Eva, Mrs. Lopez’s assistant came with the options of invitation cards and told us to select. As we chosed white and blue as theme, every option is in same theme as well”, he said and I nodded.
“Sissy, can I select???”, Liza asked me.
“Sure dear, go ahead!!”, Mr. King ushered her and she immediately sat down on the either side of empty couch.
I need to remind him that we need to behave like a couple infront of her, hope he haven’t forgotten!!
“Mr. King?”, He raised his eyebrows at me as I called his name in whisper. “You remember that we need to act before her”, I said and he nodded with the smile of assurance.
“Sissy, c’mon!! You too choose!!! After all it is your wedding!!!”, Liza said cheerfully.
“Yeah, c’mon Aaron. Let’s look through options”, I said, he remained stunned for second and gulped before regaining his composure and nodded. Did I said something wrong??
After fifteen minutes we finally came to conclusion and selected a card. “This is so beautiful isn’t it??”, Liza squealed and we nodded.
“I will send our choice. You were here for something?”, he asked.
“Yeah, Liza wanted to meet you”, I said and he squirmed in his seat, probably uncomfortable. In fact while choosing the cards too he interacted less with Liza. When Liza questioned him, he used to answer me and Liza then smirked. What’s wrong with him??
“Do you want to eat something, cake, pastry, or anything else?”, He asked Liza but not maintaining stable eye-contact.
“No sir, thank you. Actually I just wanted a selfie with you so I could make my friends jealous. I hope you don’t mind!!”, She chirped and he looked puzzled. “It’s okay if you don’t want, I mean… I understand”, she trailed as her enthusiasm dropped down.
“No… It’s not like that!! What is selfie?”, He asked sincerely looking confused. Was he living under rock?? Is he seriously from 21st century? My goodness!! Is he Goblin or Grim Reaper??
“Ohh my lollipop!! He is so cute sissy!!”, Liza whispered in my ear clearly cooeing in adoration for him. Is she out of her mind!!?? This is not called cute!! It’s called dumb, you dumbass!!
“You see Mr. King, a selfie is a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically one taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media.”, She explained and he nodded in understanding. “Have you ever used front camera of your phone?”, She asked.
“Not much, I prefer web cam for video conferences”, he said. Typical Workoholic!!
“I will teach you then!! Come onn!!”, She said and grabbed his arm. He blinked uncomfortably but didn’t said a word. She took out her phone and snapped some shots, while she was beaming with smile, his one was awkward. I so controlled my laughter. He saw me stifling my laughter and glared.
“I want some with Eva!!”, He said out of the blue. Now I am the one uncomfortable while he was smirking. Why the hell is he not uncomfortable around me!! What wrong I did Jesus!!
“Come on, Eva”, he called me, Liza pulled me and literally throwed me in his arms. He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me closer. “Smile”, he whispered and a shiver went down my spine. I forced a smile at the camera and he snapped a shot. “It’s good!!”, He complimented the picture. “Liza, send it to me.”, Liza nodded. After saving his phone number in her mobile phone she immediately sent it on his phone. Ping!! His mobile notified that he received the pic.
“We will leave now!!”, I said.
“Yeah, I missed my morning lectures, can’t miss afternoon’s too”, she said and picked up her bag.
“My driver will drop you”, he offered, before I can deny, Liza thanked him and bidded good bye. He doesn’t deserve your smile and thank you, Liza. He is the one who threatened me with your career!!!
I was about to walk out when he stopped me, “Let’s have lunch together”, he said and I nodded.
I escorted Liza till the exit, Mr. Pighead assigned two bodyguards with her just for her safety. She was on cloud nine when the bodyguards bowed and walked behind her.
Silly girl!!!
As soon as she left, Lily pulled me towards pantry and throwed questions over me. “Calm down!! I will tell you”, and then I started ranting our fake story. At first, she didn’t bought it but then seeing me adamant on our fake love story she eventually gave in and congratulated me.
Everyone in my department as well others congratulated me. Some with genuineness, while some for just formality. Mostly girls, some were honest with their wishes but some eyed me like I am a disgusted piece of garbage. Honestly, I don’t give a d@mn!!
“Congratulations, sweetheart!!”, Mrs. Smith, wished me and I smiled in gratefulness.
“Thank you ma’am”, I replied.
“What should I call you now, Miss. Collins or Mrs. King?”, She teased. I really wanted to blush but that bloody blush didn’t even took a step forward so I just looked down shyly. How much I need to act!!?? He is bloody enjoying in his AC fitted cabin while I am here, answerable to everyone!!
After congratulations, death glares, adoration and stink eyes, everyone got back to work.
Soon the lunch time rolled in and Mr. King came, “Shall we?”, He asked with a smile. How can he smile after putting me in this he*llh0le!! Selfish b@stard!!
“We shall”, I chuckled and his smile brightened. Idi0t!! Can’t even differ between acting and real!! How is he even businessman??
He took me to another one of his restaurant. This time the menu was in English so it was easy for me to order. As soon as food came we dig in. He started the conversation and I kept it going.
“Can I ask you something?”, And he nodded in encouragement. “Is money really that important for you that you can even force someone to marry you?”, I just can’t help but ask.
He sighed and dropped his fork. Wiping his mouth with napkin, he enclosed his fingers from either side of plate and stared intently at me.
“Yes!! Indeed money is important for me. I lost my parents at a very young age Miss. Collins, I had no one except my company ‘KING & CO’, it was my backbone. My support system. Someone once said to me, when you have no one around you whom you can trust, self-confidence and money are the only two things that can help you to survive. Money has the power to make people bow before you. I took that seriously, or you can say really very seriously!! And this is not only about money!! No!! This is about the company for which I have spend many sleepless nights. I am still a virgin Miss. Collins!!”, He chuckled humourlessly at the end. “What do you think I was doing at nights, I did nothing but just worked and worked!! Do you think I will let go off my hardwork that easily??? I am not that sacrificing, Miss. Collins”, he said still staring at me intently. I can’t help but wander around the sentence that he said about trust, self-confidence and money!! I used to think the same!! Even I advised a green- blue eyed boy same. But when Liam came into my life, everything just changed. My thinking changed. I now trust easily, I am no money minded now!!
“Who told you that self-confidence and money is the only thing that can help us survive?”, I hope he is not the same boy. But he have the same green-blue eyes!! Ohh Jesus!! No no!!
“One of my friend”, he replied, there was twinkle in his eyes. We were definitely not friends!! I just met that green-blue eyed boy once!! Mr. King is not that boy!!
“You really hate me, don’t you?”, I asked as anger bubbled up in me but I kept my face and voice calm.
“No I don’t!!!”, He replied immediately. “I used to hate you, Miss. Collins!! Or you can’t even call that hate!! That was just anger, the situation in which we met made me think like that. But after knowing you, I really don’t hate you now!!”, He said with convincing eyes. Is he saying the truth??
“Then let’s cancel this weddi-”
“No we can’t!”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want to!!!”, His immediate reply left both of us stunned. “I mean, I don’t have much time to find new bride and then start this all over!!”, He added. Such a lame excuse!! He really hates you, Eva!! He was just acting!!
“Yeah, right!!”, I said dejectedly.
“I am sorry Miss. Collins, to pull you in all this mess. I really didn’t mean to. I really thought I would hate you to no extent, but it just went down the hill when I saw the real you. You are kind, selfless, caring, and when I look back, I found nothing but mistakee to have guilt upon!! I am really sorry”, he apologized and gave me small smile.
Dude!! We just have known each other for six days!! Such a fabulous actor!!
“It’s okay, I understand”, I fake smiled and he seems to buy it as he gave me a smile of gratefulness. Which was obviously fake too!! There should be a film on us, we can really play good leads!!
“Uhh, by the way I have a charity event to attend tomorrow, I would like you to be my date?”, He asked with a smile and I nodded.
Great way to ruin my Sunday Mr. Pighead!! I hate you!!
“Sure, but I don’t have any party wear-”
“Don’t worry, Evan will take care of it for you!!”, He said cutting me off. Evan’s name brought a genuine smile on my face. Evan is really a good guy. We really had a great time together when he took me for makeover. He made me feel comfortable.
“Thanks”, I mumbled and he nodded. We resumed our eating. Within few minutes we both were done with our lunch, as usual he payed and we came out. The drive to office was silent as music fill the void.
After getting off at office building we walked towards elevator. Since office hours are resumed I insisted that I will take public elevator and he agreed. Before walking towards his private elevator he kissed me on forehead which left me dumbfounded. He smiled while the doors were sliding closed, causing me to force a smile at him. As soon as the doors closed and his elevator ascended up, a scowl formed on my face. Bloody chance seeker!!
“Ohh my god!! Oh my god!! That was freaking cute”, Lily squealed while rushing towards me and shaked me like a mad woman. I did nothing except forcing a shy smile. Why the hell I can’t blush??? C’mon blush!! Blush Eva!!
I left from there leaving Lily still squealing like a college girl. That girl is more happy than anyone else!!
Next few hours consumed of working, office hours were about to finish when my mobile phone pinged with a message.
Mr. Pighead:- We will leave together, I will drop you home. Wait for me!!
Urghh!! Leave me alone!!
I messaged Chloe not to bother of picking me up as my lovely would be husband will do the honour. Note the sarcasm!!
After messaging her I slammed my phone back on table and resumed to work.
“Let’s go, Miss. Collins?”, And ladies and gentlemen, here comes my live nightmare.
“Sure, Mr. King!!”, I said as I stood up. We walked out, he opened door for me of his Audi R8 and I sat in. You have many cars!!”, I commented when he settled on driving seat.
“You can say I have car fetish!!”, He chuckled and I smiled.
“Let’s play 20 questions Miss. Collins, it will help us to know better about eachother”, he suggested and I nodded.
“Your favourite colour?”, He asked.
“Blue, yours?”
“White, Movie?”, He asked.
“Remember me and Me before You”, I answered. “Song?”, I asked.
“My taste in music keeps changing”, he said. “Yours?”
“Thousand years, I always dreamt of playing it in my wedding”, I replied in the spur of moment and then regretted. He doesn’t need to know!!
“Ohh”, his reply. That’s all you got to reply??
“Any ex- girlfriend?”, I asked immediately to change the subject.
He chuckled and shooked his head. “No, you?”, He asked.
I went still. Backfired!! What should I answer him? “Ahh, we reached!!”, I thanked God internally that I could avoid this topic. “See you”, I said hastily and opened door before rushing towards my apartment. Once the door of my apartment opened, he waved from window and went on his way.
“That was Aaron, wasn’t he?”, Liza chirped and I nodded. “He is such a gentleman”, she sighed dreamily and I rolled my eyes. “You are happy, right?”, She asked with all the love of world in her eyes.
“I am”, I forced a smile and her eyes welled up.
“I am so happy for you, you deserve this!! You deserve this happiness sissy!! All your life, you have did nothing but fullfill my wishes, now you have someone who will fullfill your wishes too. Just forget about him and move on!!”, She mumbled while hugging me tight.
I can’t!! Moving on is not so easy!!
“That is the reason I am getting married. I have moved on, don’t worry”, I said and she nodded still sobbing.
Soon Chloe joined our hug and crushed us in her arms. When did she came? “Have you packed your stuff, Liza?”, She asked.
“Not yet!!”, Liza replied.
“Wait, what stuff?”, I asked as I released myself from hug.
“She is moving in with me once you get married!!”, Chloe answered and Liza nodded.
Are they out of their minds!!
“And who said that??”, I asked skeptically.
“I. I am not gonna stay with the newly wedded couple to hear their moans and groan-” before she could put full stop to her dirty sentence, I slapped her mouth and she pouted.
“Liz, go and prepare coffee for three of us”, Chloe said and she went in kitchen after nodding.
“She is gonna stay with me an-”
“And you will have to act all lovey dovey before her!! Is that okay with you??”, she asked and I shooked my head horrified. “So shut up and accept it!!”, She said sternly and I nodded.
After cup of coffee I and Chloe went for grocery shopping while Liza went to her room to complete her pending assignments.
We came back and Liza helped us to prepare dinner. During dinner, I told them about the Charity event I will be attending with Mr. King. Liza was all excited while Chloe offered me a smile of comfort. After dinner, Chloe left but not before warning me to act kind towards him. What the hell is this girl planning?? Me and Liza headed off to our own bedrooms once we finished cleaning kitchen.
I was lying comfortably on my bed when my phone pinged notifying a message.
Mr. Pighead:- Evan and his team will come with your dress tomorrow at 3:00, he will help you with make up too. And I will fetch you at 7:00 pm, hope that’s fine with you?
Me:- Yeah, that’s fine with me.
I replied back and his reply came immediately.
Mr. Pighead:- Gr8, have a good night sleep then. Bye.
Me:- S2u. Bye
I replied back and kept my phone back on nightstand.
Good night Eva!! You have a long day tomorrow!!
