The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“Wow, i must say this is one hell of a beautiful house” Irish said after Catherine was done taking her on a tour of the house and explaining some things to her.

She had introduced her to the workers as they toured the building.

“Thank you” Irish said.

“My pleasure” Catherine said, her escorts were standing few feet away. Irish had insisted she wanted no escort.

“Can i ask you something?” Irish asked.

“You already did” Catherine laughed and Irish smiled.

“You’re free to ask anything” Catherine said.

“Why are you so cool about me being here. You do not like me, we both know that” Irish said. “Of course i do not like you but I’m someone who stoops to any level to get what she wants” Catherine said with a one-sided grin.

“What do you mean?” Irish asked.

“Have a nice day Irish” Catherine said, walking away with her escorts.

“And are you sure you do not want bodyguards?” Catherine stopped to ask and Irish shook her head.

Irish watched her leave.

She was right.

Catherine wants something.

Just five days and she’ll be out of this place.

Irish turned to see bodyguards in every corner of the house staring at her.

Woah… she couldn’t even count the number of bodyguards Catherine had introduced her to. They make the whole house stuffy and uncomfortable for her.

She walked towards the pool, not ready to go inside yet.

“Ma’am” Irish heard someone said behind her.

She turned and smiled on seeing the maid she had saved from been fired.

“Your eye must be hurting” Irish said pitifully seeing how swollen the eye is .

“As far as I’m still in this house, it can hurt as much as it wants, this place is my only source of income and getting fired isn’t any better than being dead” The maid said and Irish shook herhead sadly.

Irish glanced at her name tag and saw her name.

Maria.

“Thank you so much ma’am, I’m so grateful, you saved my life with what you did” Maria said. “Saved your life? How?” Irish asked.

“Because leaving this place is as good as being dead, my son is probably going to starve to death.” Maria said.

“You have a child?” Irish asked and Maria nodded.

She looked so young to have a child.

She looks so pretty with her striking blue eyes and glossy brown hair, her nose and mouth were in perfect shape but her fair skin looked so dry like it has weeks she applied body lotion.

“I’m twenty one, i had him when i was seventeen” Maria said.

She doesn’t know why she felt at ease with Irisj.

She has never told anyone about her child, not even those she has been working with for months.

“Let’s go sit over there and talk” Irish said.

“No, we’re not allowed to do that” Maria said.

“Ohh” Irish sighed.

“So he’s four, what’s his name?” Iish asked interestingly..

“Lucas” Maria smiled.

“Are you married?” Irish asked.

“No, I’m a single mother, his father’s not dead, he just doesn’t want the baby” Maria smiled sadly. “I’m so sorry about that” Irish patted her shoulder affectionately.

“I’m over that, it’s been years” Maria said.

“I’m glad you are, so Lucas stays with your parents?” Irish asked.

“No, they made me leave the house after i told them i was pregnant, they couldn’t cope with the news”

“And they didn’t come for you till now?” Irish asked.

“They didn’t”

“For four years!” Irish was stunned.

“Yes” Maria laughed but Irish could see the pain in her eyes.

“That’s bad. Who do you stay with?”

“My friend, she runs a small restaurant and helps take care of my daughter while I’m here, i only get to see on my off days”

“Wow, that’s so nice of her, she’s a very good friend” Irish said.

“Yes she is” Maria smiled.

“How long have you been working here?” Irish asked.

“Four months” Maria said.

“Is the pay enough to sustain you and your daughter?”

“Yes, more than enough, i get to pay her school fees, buy things for her, assist Gemma with the rent”

“Ohh.. that’s great” Irish smiled, glad Maria is doing well for herself, she seems like a determined and hardworking lady.

“I need to leave now, Madam Catherine mustn’t see me here. Thank you so much Madam Irish” Maria said and Irish nodded with a smile.

She walked away after bowing to Irish.

“Make sure you take some pain reliever” Irish said after her.

“Okay ma’am, thank you” Maria smiled.

“How can you laugh over that!?” Mrs Helene asked Arusha.

She just told him Irish left with Morgan and he’s laughing.

“I’m serious, she left with Morgan, saying she wants to make Ethan go through the pain he made her felt” Mrs Helen said.

“Irish can’t do that. She just can’t. I know my sister more than anybody else” Arusha smiled. “You need to see Irish, she was so serious. I don’t think she’s joking” Mrs Helen panicked. “Irish surely have some plans, trust me. And didn’t she said she’ll be back in a week or so, Don’t you trust her? She definitely knows what she’s doing, let’s just be patient. I just hope whatever her plan is, she won’t be hurt” Arusha said.

“Ohh” Mrs Helen thought reasonably.

“Morgan, don’t you think this Irish lady is up to something. We both know how much she loves Ethan and she had even refused to leave him when you offered her a huge sum of money and now she’s here, like…

“I don’t think she’s up to anything and if she is, she’ll be paying with her life. I think she’s only after hurting Ethan as he had hurt her. One of my bodyguards were at her door while she was talking to her Mum and he told me everything they said, she only wants to hurt Ethan.. nothing else” Morgan said.

“Anyway, I’m going to keep a close eye on her and make sure the bodyguards do so too” Catherine said.

“As you wish”Morgan shrugged.

“I can see you’re starting to love her” Catherine said.

“Shouldn’t i ? You’ll also be going to Ethan soon” Morgan said.

“Why did you accept Ethan’s child? Should we give her abortion pill secretly. I don’t want Ethan having a baby with that lady” Catherine said.

“No Cat, We are going to use the baby to taunt Ethan, he’ll be on his knee again” Morgan smirked.

“A.. re we sleeping on the same bed?” Irish asked Morgan as she walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas.

It’s night already.

“I… can sleep on the couch” Morgan said.

“No, it’s fine. My room’s gonna be ready tomorrow right?” She asked.

“Of course” Morgan said.

His room is nothing like Ethan’s, Ethan’s room is so flashy and colourful, the curtains, rug, furnitures, bedspread, the wall and every other thing in the room is blinked brightly.

She so much prefers Ethan’ss room to this, his room is so cool, clean, cozy and it gives one an unbeatable sense of warmth.

She got on the bed beside Morgan and covered her body with the blanket.

There was silence for a moment.

“Is there any thing you want me to do for you Irish, I’ll gladly do it” Morgan said.

“Really?” Irish asked slowly, turning on the bedside lamp.

“Yeah”Morgan said, he was totally smitten with her.

“Is that a promise?” Irish asked.

“Yes, I’ll do anything for you Irish, anything for you to love me.. just mention it” Morgan said.”Okay… but i can’t seem to think of anything i want now, perhaps i can use this whole night to think about it” Irish said.

“As you wish, my lady” Morgan smiled to himself.

“Goodnight Morgan” She said.

“Goodnight strewberry” Morgan said.
