My Contract With The Hot Billionaire

Amelia Rose

This ring placed on my finger by Andrew was my life. I never wanted for any reason to stop staring at it or placing kisses on it. Same way Andrew held a deep and big space in my heart.

Our wedding which would be in a few days time made me so happy. I needed to Inform my best friend as I could no longer keep it a secret anymore. God it was killing the hell outta me to open up to her, and surprise her that she was going to be my bridesmaids on that day.

I valued Alicia more than most of my friends, we were childhood friends and never apart from each other all our lives. Same high school, same college. Everything we did and loved were practically the same.

I glared at myself in the mirror hanging in my room trying to check out my outfit.

I never dated any guy before, so basically, Andrew was my first and I wanted him to be my only. Since I was a teenager, I had issues trusting guys, mainly because of what Alicia had to pass through in their hands when we were teenagers. Each time she was being dumped by any guy, I would stay and cry with her all night comforting her.

I never understood why Alicia would always end up with another guy just a few days after breaking up with one, but I never questioned her too. She was my best friend and I never saw criticizing her as an option because I didn't want to loose her. Supporting her was the only thing I could do, even though I knew she was always free around guys all the time and I wasn't.

My phone started ringing,and when I checked the caller's ID, it was Andrew. My cheeks flushed red immediately.

"Hey boo" I said expecting him to tell me something sweet like he does every morning.

"Amelia, I'm so sorry. I can't make it today, but don't be sad, okay. I promise we'll spend quality time together tomorrow" He said, making me a bit disappointed.

Andrew was always a busy man, and it always made me wonder what he was up to. Not like I didn't trust him, but I also wanted to always know what was up with my man.

"Oh, it's fine. Take your time okay" I replied back and he ended the call immediately.

I love Andrew way too much, and it made me wonder if he was actually playing on my sincere feelings for him sometimes. I felt like I was the only one devoted to this relationship, and I practically proposed to myself by constantly reminding him to get me a ring as I wanted to get married before turning 25.

I heaved deeply trying hard to understand him and respect his decision. I grabbed my bag from the table close to me and headed towards the door.

Thank goodness I was going to meet up with Alicia today. At least I won't have to feel lonely.

I collected my phone from my handbag and decided first to call her, but if I wanted to surprise her about my upcoming wedding, then it would be better to keep visiting her a secret too.

"Thank you" I said to the cab driver and handed him a few dollar bill before turning to leave.

I had a spare key to Alicia's home, of course we were best friends and I needed one just in case of emergencies. Alicia had mine too, and each time we both needed something urgently, we would come to each other's house first.

At the entrance of the door, I met two footwears. I chuckled wondering if Alicia got herself another man again.

This would be her last because I won't let any guy hurt my friend again.

I quietly opened the door, and decided to wait in the living room till she would come downstairs to come see me.

I got in and took a seat taking a look upstairs. Seriously, her moans and noises were killing her. It was beginning to get me irritated.

Alicia had just one bad habit I hated most, but I never informed her about it. Loving too easily.

If Andrew and I should go our separate ways today, I would find it hard falling in love again. I would find it hard giving another man a chance in my life again. Maybe it's as a result of how much I love him.

Still lost in my thoughts, Alicia's footsteps were approaching down the stairs, so I came back to my senses.

I stood up expecting her presence alone, but what I got, what I saw nearly got my heart falling from my chest.

They were together, holding hands and placing kisses on each other.

I blinked twice to ensure I wasn't seeing bullshit,but when I opened them, it was still the same.

They were both practically naked. The moment our eyes met, Andrew drew his hands away from hers glaring at me.

The tears I couldn't hold anymore fell freely. I couldn't believe my eyes, my best friend and my man. Goodness, why didn't I think or see this coming.

No wonder Andrew was also too busy for me, always giving excuses not to come see me.

I expected Alicia to at least feel remorseful and show signs of regrets, but she took his hands back in hers with boldness.

I widened my eyes in shock, staring at her.

"Alicia," I called her name, as I was hurting badly.

"We love each other, see, he proposed to me today" Alicia said, raising her hand to show the ring on her finger.

It was exactly like mine. I couldn't believe Andrew would betray me this way.

"If you were tired of me, why didn't you just say it instead. Was it the way I dressed, or my looks, what was wrong with me Andrew? I yelled at him at the top of my voice, making him shiver in fear.

"And you Alicia, I can't believe you would do such a thing to me, I loved you way more than I love myself"

Alicia hissed, and took her gaze away from mine.

The ring in my hands was beginning to irritate me, in less than a second, I pulled it off and immediately threw it at his damned face.

"Amelia, wait..." Andrew called back.

A part of me wanted to run back to him and hug him tight, but another part warned me to leave with the little dignity I had and never turn to look at his face.

Before I would leave, I wanted to make something clear to him.

"You won't even find a lady just like me, get that into your fucking skulls Andrew, and if you think I won't be able to survive without you in my life, then I swear to God, I will"

Andrew wanted to come hug me, but Alicia held him back.

"Babe, let her be. What's so special about her anyways" I heard her disgusting voice. In pure anger and irritation I turned to look at her.

"Aren't you supposed to be my friend?" I asked, still letting my tears fall freely.

"No Amelia, we were never friends. You always had everything I wanted. You were smart, had good grades and I was being dumped by so many guys all because of you. They all wanted you instead and it hurt each time I heard it wasn't me they wanted. You took away every fucking thing from me, and yet you pretended you loved me"

I was stunned and out of words, what the hell was she talking about.

"What! How could you blame me when I had absolutely nothing to do with it" I retorted back.

"You see, that's the problem with you. You never know when you're being used and toyed with. I despised you so much, yet you never knew even when it was so clear."

"Is that the reason you decided to take Andrew from me?" I asked, I was beginning to lose my voice and my sanity.

"You know more than anyone in the world what Andrew means to me. How much I love him"

My hands were beginning to shake seriously, and it felt like I would collapse any second.

"Same way you made every guy I loved dump me, I paid you back. I don't get to be the only one who feels pain, join me sis, don't you think?" Alicia was beginning to sound crazy, her eyes had pure hatred in them, and they showed no emotions, just dark desires.

"You haven't gotten enough of what I felt Amelia, I will destroy you completely and make you wish for death like I once did because of you"

I couldn't bear the pain anymore, I couldn't wait to listen to another word she had to say anymore.

"Believe me Alicia, I promise you. You will also lose someone so precious to you, someone who would hold the biggest part of your heart, just like you made me lose Andrew" I said.

Though it was more like placing a curse on her, but to me, it wasn't a curse. I just wanted her to know that she would never get away from me.

I would get my revenge on both of them at all cost, especially Andrew for deceiving me all through the two years of our relationship.

I turned to leave, every step I took hurt. I was hurting like hell and every step made it worse. I was still finding it hard to process what I just saw and heard from Alicia. It wasn't my fault they all dumped her, and even if they all did, I was always there for her. Didn't she feel my sincere love for her?

I needed a drink, to get drunk and sleep off forgetting everything I saw today.

I stood outside the gate going on my knees, my heart felt like it was trying to squeeze life out of me.

In less than a minute, I stood up on my feet and stopped a cab.

I never had a reason to visit an expensive club, but today I wanted to spend every last cash I had saved for my wedding on expensive drinks that would get me drunk and make me forget that bastard.

I took a seat and ordered a glass requesting to make it extra strong. A shot would nearly kill me, but I was ready for it.

The bartender dropped one and within seconds, I gulped all of it in a go.

I could see the shocked expression on his face when I did that, but I cared less about it.

"Two more shots" I requested again ignoring his frightened gaze at me.

He dropped two more and I gulped them all, feeling my throat burn as I did. The pain my throat felt wasn't close enough to that of my broken heart.

A man was seated close to me, and for a while, he had been staring at me.

"If he was going to stop me from drinking, then hell no, I wouldn't let anyone make me unhappy anymore" I mused, staring back at him.

He was not only looking attractive, but well built and so handsome.

Suddenly a stupid idea got into my head. I wanted to do just exactly what Andrew did to me, cheat as well and sleep with anyone as well.

I smiled at him and even when I discarded the thoughts.of sleeping with the man, my hands suddenly went to his body caressing him gently.

Without hesitation, I kissed him, while he reciprocated the kiss savouring my lips in his. I felt alive again as our hands touched each other and seconds later, he lifted me in his arms without breaking the kiss till we found ourselves in a room heading towards the bed in-between our intense kiss.
