The billionaire's secret heartthrob - Season 1 - Episode 2

The old woman wore her best smile as she stared into his face. She loved the boy right when he was born and she knew he would make her proud someday.
‘Is that the way to welcome your grandmother whom you’ve not seen over a year?’ The old woman parted her arms, waiting for proper welcome.

‘I do miss you grandma, but you walked in on a special moment.’ Dean scowled.
‘Did I?’ She feigned innocence.
‘Yes you did, you ruined my chances with Toke. I was about telling her about the way I felt .’ Dean replied.

‘What makes you think she feels the same way about you? A woman in love does not run that fast.’ The old woman eyed the room with disdain.

‘Why?’ Dean rolled his eyes, knowing she was about o become proverbial.
‘Love is not swift. It is patient.’ She served him his answer.

His heart pounded faster against his chest as he pondered on her words.

‘No’ he thought, he was quite sure Toke felt the same way about him, they could not have spent two years together for nothing.
‘Can I receive my welcome now?’ She spread her arms wider.

Seeing that she wouldn’t let him be, Dean drew a deep breath and walked straight into her arms, and he loved it in there. There was something about his grandmother’s arms, they felt like home and that was the reason he was eager to find a woman that would love him.

He desperately needed to create his own home.

It took her minutes to get down from the car once she had arrived home. Her heart was breaking, her breath was in spasms, she could not hold back the pain that tortured her within.

Tears rolled in her eyes as she succeeded in setting her feet on solid ground. She had felt it in his eyes, she had known he had fallen for her charms, and she felt the same way too, but they could never be together.

The yellow dress she wore clung to her slender body, her slender hips were pressed against the dress, while the swell of her b-----s were fully bare to the eyes of the midnight moon. Her weave on fell to her back, she had her heels in her hand as she walked towards the entrance of her apartment.
Toke had never felt this sort of pain for a long while; it was so painful knowing you loved someone yet you could never be with the person. She understood this pain, but she could not’t control it. It spread bit by bit, just like the seeds of a chronic disease would, it was all over and she could feel it.

‘You’re back early, I thought you’d plan to spend the night in his place.’
The voice startled her as she had locked all her doors and had not expected anyone.
‘Emma?’ Her eyes brightened as she stared at her younger sister.
‘In the flesh’ Emma replied, then she took out a key Toke had offered her once and raised it up.
‘Sorry, I totally forgot I gave you a spare.’ Toke swung her hands in the air, happy to see her only sibling.

‘Glad to see you too sis’ Emma walked towards her and planted a kiss on her cheeks, which was accompanied with apologies, ‘I am sorry I did not’t tell you that I was coming, but I had nowhere else to go.’
Toke loved her sister very much and she could sacrifice everything that she had just to make Emma happy.
‘What happened to your job?’ Toke asked.
‘The boss dropped a hundred of us, I’ve been struggling these six months till my landlord served me a quit notice.’ Emma shrugged.

‘Why did’t you tell me about it?’ Tears welled up in Toke’s eyes as she stared at her sister.

‘I hate to ask for money Tee, I love working for it. I love taking responsibilities and the fulfilment that comes along with it.’ Emma replied with sadness in her dark eyes.
She and Toke shared a lot of things in common. They believed in working for the money they earned and they hated to depend on men for money.

‘I am glad you’re finally here.’ Toke dropped her shoes and moved to the table where she served herself a glass of water.
‘You really work late these days, it’s not easy being a marketing strategist. I hope you enjoy that job of yours.’ Emma watched her elder sister out of the corner of her eyes as she was busy staring at the cute yellow shoes Toke had just dropped.

‘I wasn’t working…’ Toke licked her lips nervously, she dropped the glass of water she poured immediately as scenes of their torrid lovemaking replayed in her mind.
‘You were with him…’ Emma said. She knew about her sister’s relationship with Toke right from the start, but she was not in support of it.

‘I love him Emma, I loved him right from the first day I set my eyes on him. He is so handsome, so loving…’ she bit her lip as her sister’s face was being swallowed by a deep frown.

‘He is caring, kind and generous…’ Emma rolled her eyes, she had heard these before.
‘You won’t understand Emma. I tried pretending but I don’t think it would work any longer. I made it look like it was all about the sex right from day one, but it is more than the sex. My heart beats for him Emma.’ Toke was pouring out her heart to her sister.

She loved Dean Legacy with everything in her, but she couldn’t let it show.
‘I’ve warned your Toke, Dean is going to hurt you. He is not the type of man that would be with a girl of your class. Dean is an important man in the society, sooner or later, he would be paired up with one of similar financial background.’ Emma repeated the bout of advise she had often given to her sister.

‘You don’t know him, he is not that sort of person.’ Toke’s lips shook as she imagined Dean being with another woman aside her.

‘You are right, I do not know him, but does Dean know you? Does he know your secret? Hell no. He only sees a tall and light skinned woman, who speaks impeccable English and wears classy clothes. He is in love with your beautiful body and not who you really are.’ Emma answered.

Her words dug deep into Toke’s soul, tears flooded her eyes as her sister’s words clawed the layers of her skin apart.
‘But he told me loved me…I almost told him what I truly felt…before…’ Toke licked her lips as she remembered the stern faced silver haired woman that had walked in on them making love.

‘What happened?’ Emma raised a brow.
‘Never mind. Dean loves me, I know this, I can feel it strongly. I just don’t want to hurt him by pretending that I do not feel anything for him.’ Toke replied.

‘You know we are from a dysfunctional family, one with no surname. Our mother is in prison and we are still paying the debt of the crimes she committed. Don’t you think it is best to stay away from Dean Legacy? He is just using you to warm his bed, don’t get carried away by his love talk. I know men like Dean, they can only keep girls like us as mistresses. His wife is on the way.’ Emma said.

Toke was speechless, it seemed her sister had woken her from a bad dream. She hated the words that Emma spewed, but those words were true. They had a secret to protect, if Dean discovered who she truly was, there was no way he could love her the same.
Emma could see her sister was convinced by her words, she walked closer to Toke, placing a hand on her right shoulder, ‘I know we struggled on our own, we worked our a-s out to make it. But Dean would never consider you a member of his class. He is above, we are beneath. Forget him Toke, maybe it is time you stop seeing him.’
