???? Billionaire Cinderella Chapter Sixteen:
~THE NEXT DAY ~
Romeo opened his eyes to find a towel over his head. Did his cold get more worse, he thought as he felt someone beside him.
He was surprised to see Marie sleeping beside him on the bed while having her arms around him. Did she take care of him last night, he thought as he saw all the evidence that she did take care of him.
He would have thought of her as someone incapable of doing that afterall she hated him just like he did with her.
She stirred muttering something while she moved closer to him. This action got Romeo to rethink what he thought of a while ago.
He doesnβt hate Marie but instead he desire her, he wanted her for himself.
That explains the numerous times he felt jealous, why he felt drawn to her and hated it that she wasnβt given him her whole attention..
Somehow she had gotten into his head, into his skin which got him wanting her for himself.
He turned to stare at her and this time there was nothing stopping him from touching her face.
Her skin felt soft and smooth and when his fingers trailed to her lips, he wanted to kss it but the thought of Marieβs stricken face stopped him from doing so.
Instead he pushed her away from him, not too hard but the push had ended up making Marie fall off the bed.
βAre you okay?β He asked as he sat up starring at Marie who was sitting on the floor touching her shoulder.
βYou did that on purpose didnβt you?β She asked as she stood up glaring at him.
βI didnβtβ¦..I justβ¦.why were you in my bed?β He asked instead while trying to hide his feelings.
βYou might not believe me but I actually slept on your bed to keep you warm, you were cold andβ¦β¦β
βYou should have ignored me, you should have pretended not to see me. I always handle whatever illness I have on my own, who the hβll are you to feel concern about me?β He snapped at her.
He knew he was being rude and cruel with his words but the thought of wanting her drove him to say things he didnβt mean.
βIs it too hard to say thank you when youβve been helped? You rich folks tend to think high of yourself, you are too big to say thank you to a lowly person like me and so instead you lash out.
Well am sorry if I bothered to help, you can be rest assured that I wonβt ever do a thing to help you again!β She said and walk out of the room.
He felt like a jerk and he felt bad for having lashed out at her when she had only been helping him.
And even when he went to work that day he kept feeling that way. There were several times that he had picked up the phone to call for her just so he could apologise but he keeps on stopping himself.
The door opened and Blake walked in starring at his friend intently.
βWhatβs wrong? Is something on my face?β Romeo asked staring at him.
βNo. Just wondering what youβve done with Marie, were you messing with her until the wee hours of the morning that she couldnβt even show up for work?β Blake asked.
βMarie didnβt come to work?β Romeo asked and Blake nodded.
βDidnβt you know? I thought sheβ¦..where are you going?β Blake asked as Romeo got out of his seat walking out of his office with his car key and phone with him.
The first place he went to was the kitchen where he confirmed that Marie hadnβt come to work.
Its late in the evening and she hadnβt shown up for work, where could she be? He thought as he walked out calling her on his phone.
Not wanting to drive, he got his chauffeur to drive asking him to take him to his pent house.
He dialled her number for the fifth time and she finally picked.
βWhere the hβll are you?β He asked feeling very worried.
βJust out doing somethingβ she replied but he noticed her voice sounded a bit wobble.
βDoing what? You didnβt even show up at work?β He accused.
βWork. I should have known that it would be the only reason you would call meβ she said again.
βMarie Iβ¦β¦β He stopped talking when he noticed her sitting at the bus stop. He told the driver to wait and when he was about to get out of the car, he noticed her crying which got him seating in his car again.
Staying back in the car and with his phone still his ear, he asked
βAre you okay Marie?β
βOf course I amβ¦β¦β By now Marie hadnβt notice his car parked at the other streets and Romeo watched as she wipe away her tears.
βYou donβt have to worry, I will be back at the penthouse and I wonβt be running away, am married to you after allβ she said.
βYou know am not talking aboutβ¦β¦β He didnβt get to finish his words because she end the call.
He stayed in his car watching her cry, what could have happened? He thought as he got out of the car wanting to go to her but he stopped when he saw a man moving towards her and that man turned out to be Charles, the head chef in his company.
