Sold To The Ruthless Billionaire

Jane was out at the back of the bar, putting away the trash, she was separating the plastics from the metal, and she was so engrossed in what she was doing that she didn't notice someone approaching her from behind.

The person wrapped his hand around her waist, and she flinched, the nylon bag she was holding dropped from her hand.

"Who's it?." She asked, struggling to free herself from the person's hold.

"Calm down my love, it's just me." "Jacob!!." She exclaimed her voice, sounding happy and excited .

He finally released his hold on her, and she turned to face him.

"Silly, you scared the living hell out of me." She hissed, then she hit his arm playfully.

"Ouch, I'm sorry, I just wanted to surprise you." Jacob said. Jane scoffed. "Nice way of trying to surprise me." She said, sarcastically. Jacob chuckled, he wrapped his hands around her waist, then he pulled her closer to him.

"Are you mad at me?." He asked. Jane scoffed, then she turned her face away, she was literally pretending to be mad at him. Jacob sighed.

"Come on love, I'm sorry, I won't do it again." He said.

"No, there's no way I'm letting that slide, I was super scared thinking it was one of those goons in the bar, I thought one had followed me out here to do something bad to me." Jane said.

All the notorious criminals visited her aunt's bar, apart from being a bar, it was also a brothel, the way people act shamelessly in there made her sick to the stomach.

"No one would ever dare to do that to you, I'm here, you shouldn't be worried about anything, in fact, I'll kill anyone who dares to touch what's mine." Jacob said menacingly. Jane looked at him for sometime, then she burst into laughter.

"You're so funny, if someone were to see the seriousness on your face, they would actually think you have the guts to do that."

"I'm serious about this, or don't you know i don't joke with you, you're very precious to me, and I'll fight for what's mine." Jane was about saying something when they both heard someone scream her name.

"Jane!!." Laura, Jane's aunt yelled. Jacob immediately let go of Jane. Laura angrily walked to where they stood, she looked at the two of them disdainfully, then she slapped Jane hard across the face. "Aunt Laura!." Jacob barked.

"Shut up boy!, you just watch that stupid mouth of yours, you pauper, one more word from you and i swear to God I'll get you arrested." Laura threatened.

Jacob balled his fist in anger, he was about saying something to her, but Jane held his hand.

He turned to look at Jane, and she gave him a weak smile, shaking her head at the same time, she was literally pleading with him with her eyes to let things be.

Laura has never actually loved her, and she didn't fail to show it, she took Jane in when she had lost both her parents, Laura was Jane's mother's younger sister, and she blamed Jane for her parents death, she calls her bad luck, and has always made life miserable for Jane.

The worse part of it?

She had something over Jane’s brother that could have him killed immediately making her have no choice than to follow her every wish.

It was either her will or her brother’s life.

Not a single day will pass without Laura doing one bad thing or the other to Jane, at first, Jane did everything possible to make Laura love her, even if it was only for a little bit, but when that didn't happen, Jane got tired of trying to make Laura like her, in fact, it was impossible to get Laura to like her, so the only thing she could do was give up and resign herself to fate.

"Haven't I warned you that I don't want to ever see you with this wretched poverty stricken man again." Laura said, glaring dangerously at Jacob.

"Aunt Laura." Jane called in disbelief. "What!!." Laura yelled.

"Isn't it true, or isn't he poor, I wonder what you see in this wretched man anyways, there are so many men in there, and they're wealthy, many will pay lots of money just to have you, and yet, you're busy fooling around with someone who can barely afford to feed himself alone."

"That's enough aunt, I've had enough, you can insult me all you want, but I won't sit back and watch you insult Jacob."

"I love Jacob so much aunt, and there's nothing you or anybody else can do to change that." Jane said. Laura eyed her from her head to her toe, then she burst into laughter.

"I love Jacob so much aunt, and there's nothing you or anybody else can do to change that." Laura mimicked.

"Foolish girl." She spat.

“Don’t forget I still call the shots here and if you know what’s good for you and that idiot of your brother, you had better come in now.”

"I won't waste my time here with you, come with me, you've got work to do." Laura said and then she held Jane's wrist tightly and she pulled her away.

Jacob could do nothing to stop her from taking Jane away, he just kept on watching in pain.

He felt so useless at that moment, Laura never fails to use his poverty to mock him, she despises him so much and he couldn't tell the reason.

What's so bad if he was poor, at least he was trying, he worked his ass off daily just so he could earn some money and change his life for the better.

He ruffled his hair in frustration, then he kicked the trash can angrily.

"I'll definitely get rich someday, and then, no one will be able to say trash to my face, and no one will be able to hurt Jane ever again or stand in the way of our love, and that's a promise." He said, then he left.

****

Laura dragged Jane into the bar.

"Foolish girl." She said at the top of her voice, since the music being played was so loud, she had to speak louder so Jane could hear her clearly.

"You should be here working, not messing around with that useless man." She said, then she let go of her wrist.

Jane winced in pain as she used her other hand to massage her wrist.

"Just do your job." Laura yelled. She slapped the back of Jane's head, then she left. A drunk man suddenly walked up to Jane and he tapped her ass.

"Wo, how about i fuck that ass of yours honey." He said drunkenly, he was even staggering a little.

Jane looked at him disgustingly, she hissed, then she left.

She would have loved to slap him so hard for tapping her ass, but the last thing she wanted was to create a scene, and knowing Laura would skin her alive if she did that made her keep her cool and left the man alone.
