THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

Before Sophia left her mother’s house that day, they had both agreed to run a check on Ellie, trying to figure out a part of her life that could be used to threaten her. On Sophia’s way home that day, she saw Richard’s car drove pass her and in the car with him was his pregnant lover. Since she caught Richard cheating on her that night, she had stopped picking Richard’s calls and had stopped him from seeing her. Richard, who cared less about her didn’t read meaning to her actions as he had thought she needed some time to herself. Not setting his eyes on Sophia didn’t matter to him as long as he had his true lover by his side.

Seeing them together made Sophia get angrier. She turned her car and trailed them, wanting to know their destination. After 40 minutes of driving, they finally got to their destination. It was a small building in the outskirts of the city. Pamela and Richard both got out of the car holding each other’s hands and entering the building. Sophia laid low and watched every of their movements. Watching them from her car, Sophia saw how Richard kissed Pamela on the forehead and afterwards, rubbed his palm on Pamela’s belly which made her giggled. The scene before Sophia made her more unsettled and filled her heart with resentment towards the duo.

Her mind flashed back on the things she had done for Richard and the sacrifices she had made for him. She thought about the happy moments they had shared together which he was now sharing with Pamela.

‘That’s supposed to be me he is hugging. He belongs to me and me alone’, Sophia said with hurt in her eyes as she watched Richard hugged Pamela. She sat there for some minutes, watching as the two love birds played and at the same time, contemplating on how to get back at them. After thinking for as long as she could, she concluded on getting her revenge right there and at that moment.

To get her revenge on the duo as she had promised herself, she decided to play a trick on Richard. A trick which he would regret for his entire lifetime. Sophia started her car and zoomed off and after having drove few minutes away from the building and having parked her car where it wouldn’t be noticed easily, Sophia picked her phone and dialed Richard’s number.

‘Hello, babe’, Sophia said pitifully upon Richard picking the call.

‘Hello, Sophia’, Richard responded, sounding distant.

‘I am sorry about how I ghosted you for the past two weeks. Edward seems to have been suspecting us which is why I had to cut off communication from you to avoid further suspicion. I am so sorry I didn’t explain that to you’, Sophia said, pretending to be sorry and trying to cajole Richard.

‘Ok, I understand’, Richard responded in a way that showed he had no interest in whatsoever Sophia had to say. At same time, he tickled Pamela who was placing her head on his lap. This made Pamela chuckle softly and which Sophia heard on the receiving end.

‘Are you with someone? Where are you, Richard?’, Sophia asked, pretending not to be aware of Richard’s location.

‘I am at home, and I am alone’, Richard responded trying to clear Sophia of all suspicion.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘But I heard a lady’s voice just now’, Sophia said, raising an eyebrow.

‘That should be from the tv. I am watching a movie right now’, Richard responded.

‘Oh, I see. If you don’t mind. Can I see you right now?’, Sophia asked with urgency in her voice.

‘Now? Is anything the matter?’, Richard asked.

‘I have got something on Edward that we can against him’, Sophia said with enthusiasm, trying to make Richard fall for her lies.

‘Is it something we can discuss on phone?’, Richard asked, trying to know the urgency of the matter.

‘No, we need to see to talk about it. It’s a good weakness of his that if we utilize it properly, it will bring about his downfall. So, you need to come over so we can discuss about it before he gets out of hand’, Sophia responded.

‘Okay. Where are you right now?’, Richard asked.

‘I am at home right now’, Sophia replied.

‘Will join you in the next 40 minutes’, Richard said.

’40 minutes? Your house is just 15 minutes away from mine, so why the 40 minutes? Or should I come over to yours instead?’, Sophia asked trying to corner Richard.

‘No. You don’t have to do that. I must stop by the supermarket before heading to your place, Richard responded, stammering when he realized he was about to be caught up in his own lies.

‘Okay, will be expecting you’, Sophia said, hanging up on Richard and putting on a satisfying smile because she knew she was one step away from getting her revenge.

Richard on the other hand, picked up his jacket and was about heading out when he got stopped by Pamela.

‘Where do think you are heading to?’, Pamela asked, trying to put up a fight.

‘I need to see Sophia now’, Richard responded, getting dressed up.

‘What for?’, Pamela asked in an angry voice.

‘Babe, she has got something on Edward that can bring him down. This means we can achieve our goals as soon as possible’, Richard said, trying to explain things to Pamela.

‘Can’t you discuss this with her later? Why is it now of all time that we are sharing some moments together that you need to see her?’, Pamela asked raising an eyebrow.

‘Babe, I think you want all these to end soon?’, Richard asked.

‘Yes, I do. I can’t tolerate seeing you spend the time we are meant to be spending together with her anymore’, Pamela said, feeling furious and trying to be sad to get Richard’s attention and which she thought might change Richard’s mind of going to meet Sophia.

‘Babe, I understand your point but for this to end as quick as you want, I need to see her now. I am sorry for putting you through all these. I also wish for this to end as soon as possible’, Richard said, holding Pamela’s hands and looking into her eyes to give her the assurance she needed. After successfully convincing Pamela that he wouldn’t stay long and he would be back soon, Richard exited the building, zooming off onto the road, on his way to meet Sophia. But what Richard didn’t know is that, that would be the last time he would set his eyes on Pamela.

Having ensured that Richard had left the house, Sophia made her way back there and stood right in front of the main door. She pressed the bell, patiently waiting for Pamela to open up.

‘Baby, is that you? Did you forget anything?’, Pamela asked rushing to open the door, thinking it was Richard. When she finally got to the door and opened it, she was shocked to see who was standing there.

‘Hello, Pamela. It’s nice meeting you and I hope you feel the same’, Sophia said with a devilish smile on her face, creeping Pamela out.
