The Billionaire's Condition

Mariana pov

It being three weeks since, everything had happened. Three weeks since I found out about my grandmother Death and now buried. And three weeks since I realize "Raphael Espinoza"was nothing but a Ruthless killer.

I stood outside the balcony thinking of ways to make Raphael pay for what he did to..... When I heard his voice, he came out of the bathroom, just with a towel tied to his waist he looked at me, we shared the same bed, live in the same house but don't speak or better still I don't speak to him.

He wanted my forgiveness so badly, it almost felt like he would do anything to achieve it, he gave me gifts, offered me trips even permitted me to go back to school, I declined everything.

A few nights ago, he got up quitely , and knelt in front me I laid there awake,but pretended to be asleep, he said"i always knew that everything I touched, including you get destroyed. I see that now. And for that I'm sorry, Not just for what I did -but for the pain I caused. I was, and always being selfish. But I can't let you go, the only reason I'm still alive is because of you ".so I humble myself, before you Mariana, please have mercy on me "Baby girl ".

He said all this while stroking my head, after awhile he got up and left the room. I sat up that was unexpected I won't let my heart be swayed by his sweet words, he would still pay for my grandmother's Death.

And this morning he stood in that towel wet hair looking really appealing, he walked straight towards me and said "baby girl "would you like to go out today, we could go to the Cinema, or I Could drop you off at your college, his voice dropped when I didn't answer -i don't want or need anything from you, I turned around to leave, when he suddenly hugged me from behind, "please Mariana ,am begging you look at me, talk to me, forgive me, I know I hurt you."by now he was almost sobbing, I finally spoke to him. You killed my grandma, -to which he shook his head frantically saying no, it wasn't me, I then looked at him, eyes glassy with tears if it wasn't you then who killed her I asked he was just starting at me before he said I can't tell you, but I swear to you "my love" it wasn't me,i looked at his eyes looking for any signs of lies and found nothing.

He reached for me but I moved away -i could see the hurt in his eyes, simply because you didn't kill my grandma, doesn't make you a good person, you have killed countless grandmother's.

I moved closer to him, and said I still hate you, his face was Casted down, and for a second I think I saw a little tear, he quickly looked away, Cleared his throat before he said very well and walked away.

It then Occurred to me, I don't need a way to punish him ,being distance from him, his already killing him and I in tend to kill him even more.

I will make him pay for what he did "Raphael Espinoza"will know no peace for the rest of his life. Slowly but gently. I will take everything he hold dear to him, his Companies, position and most importantly his beautiful wife, with little time they all will be mine.

I picked up my phone, Get the jet ready I will be leaving for California soon, my plans are now in motion.

Firstly get me a lecturing position at "Saint Grace University"make sure I lecture every class she attends.

get me a house not far from where they stay and have Someone get Close to her at school, I want to know everything there is to know about her.

Do you understand.

i never had to beg for a woman's attention or affection before, but here I was, whimpering and sobbing like a little teenage boy. I have never needed a woman the way I need her, it almost felt like having her that close to me was needed as much as the air I breathe.

I decided I wasn't going to go work, I stayed at the living area, when I saw her wearing a little printed flower dress, hair placed in high ponytail. She Looked beautiful. Will be going out for a bit, "Baby girl" ,please change the dress is too little.she just walked away.

I rushed out after her, "Baby girl"where are you going she took a galance at me before speaking, to see a friend, "you know I had a life before you pulled me out of it".i have have missed too many classes and need to meet up, before my Exams. I thought..... Never mind ,please let me drop you to which she hurriendly decline "No"please let me, I said No! She yelled, I have Someone picking me up, so I don't need you.

Before I could even speak, a red car pulled up in the driveway then a little boy nothing more than twenty three -stepped out of the Car beaming at my girl, I looked towards her-she looked so happy arms open wide for a hug, she ran towards him before throwing herself into his arms, "he Squeeze tightly like his life depended on it".

I wondered who this idiot his.

I cleared my throat hoping they would know I was still here, they both looked my way, I moved Over, feeling like I had something to prove to this little boy, I'm almost thirty five, I don't have the time for this teenage love story.

I moved over to where they stood and introduced myself as Mariana's husband ,I could see the colour drain from his face, how come I didn't come across him during my background Check.

Mariana pulled away from my hold and moved closer to the kid, we will be on Our way now,She looked at him Don't worry I will Explain everything to you.

"you wanted my attention? ,you have got it. But let's see if you can handle what comes next "She whispered.
