The billionaire's secret heartthrob - Season 1 - Episode 11

‘Thanks for being honest; I’Il be waiting for that resignation tomorrow.’ He replied in a cold voice before rushing towards his car while she was left standing alone in the darkness of the cold night.

She felt insecure, like a huge part of her was gone.

‘He did not love me after all, how could he just walk away like that?’ She thought.
‘What have you done sister?’ Emma showed up.

‘What is best for me.’ Toke replied.
‘Are you kidding me? I think I misjudged Dean Legacy. He is very handsome and he is really into you. I could tell this from the way his eyes bored into yours. Maybe Bellena is just a friend, but I know for sure that he loves you.’ Emma said.

‘Just by looking at him?’Toke asked amazed.

‘Not that, how many billionaires would go through this sort of stress? Driving through the potholes of this low cost estate just for a woman?’ Emma asked.

‘I don’t think he really loved me…’ Toke said out her thoughts, ‘When I told him it was over, he just asked me to send in my resignation and then he coldly walked away without uttering a word to me.’

Emma giggled as she watched her sister, ‘so you were expecting him to cry or kneel?’

‘This is not funny!’ Toke felt irritated as Emma’s laughter rang through her ears.
‘You just lost your man and your job tonight Toke, when morning comes have a rethink.’ Emma patted her on the shoulders before leaving for her room.

‘I don’t love him, I never did.’ Toke replied stubbornly.

‘Tell that to a one day old baby.’ Emma retreated inside laughing wildly like one who was being tickled.

Bellena had paid the old woman a visit as she requested, they both enjoyed dinner together while going over old days when Bellena had been a kid and when grandmother May been younger.

‘You have not told me where my darling Dean is…’ she poured herself more wine.
A sly smile split the woman’s face into two, she loved the sound of “darling dean” more than anything else, ‘I love the way you just addressed him. You have a beautiful dress on, I think Dean is going to like that very much.’

Bellena returned the woman’s smile, she had always loved the principled woman, she loved her even more after she’d paid her parents a visit, telling them about her plans for her grandson.

‘Are you aware he is in love with someone?’ Bellena asked.

‘No’ the woman lied, she knew how to play her cards well, this was a game and she wouldn’t throw her success into jeopardy.
‘I am sorry I mentioned it, it’s just…’ Bellena dropped the fork that she held, she had lost appetite as she imagined Dean being with someone else.

She hated herself momentarily for letting him go in the past, now that he was in love with Toke, it was going to be a difficult task reclaiming him and she was not that sort of woman who fought for a man’s love.
‘Just what?’ the old woman equally dropped her fork.

‘His eyes were filled with so much promise as he stared at her. I cannot deny the fact that she is a very attractive woman. I watched her presentation grandmother, I can tell you that she has got your grandson hoodwinked.’ Bellena complained.

‘Then we will get him out of her claws, you and I. You say she is attractive, by God, I know of certain that she is not as pretty as you are, not as bold’ she rolled her eyes in disgust as she remembered the night she had walked in on Dean and Toke having sex.

‘I know I am very beautiful, but the subject of love surpasses physical beauty, Dean is not a shallow minded man. I know him and the things that intrigue him, beauty is the least. She must have something that fascinates him, it makes me afraid of this plan.’ Bellena sighed.

‘Do not be afraid child, Dean has always had eyes for you…that w---e is just a temporary distraction.’ Grandmother May reassured her with soothing words.

Still, there was room for doubt in Bellena’s heart, she had seen the fire that burned in Dean’s eyes immediately Toke Melaye had stepped into the office.

‘You both are meant for each other, even the Media knows this…Dean posted some pictures of you and him, I wished I could “like” the picture a thousand times.’ The old woman chuckled as she drew out her mobile phone, it was beeping.
‘Come on grandmother, you know how bloggers love to blow things out of proportion. His pecks were not on my lips and they were totally innocent.’ Bellena sniggered, the old woman always amused her.

She wished Dean could look at her the same way that he had looked at Bellena. She wished he could love her just the same, with passion and limitless desire, that’s all she wanted in a man, that was all she wanted from Dean.

The old woman was focused on her phone, Reuben, her personal bodyguard whom she had send on an errand had just sent her a message.

‘He is at the gate…’ she dropped the phone and jumped to her feet.
‘Who?’Bellena wondered.
‘Dean, go! Remember this is your last chance. You need to fight for him, win him over if you really love him.’ The old woman carefully instructed.

‘But, what if it doesn’t work out?’ Bellena stuttered.

‘It can only fail if you want it to.’ The old woman answered in a firm voice. Bellena could not fail her now, this was not the time to have cold feet. She wasn’t going to watch her Dean marry a low life, a non-entity.

He was supposed to cry, he felt pain that she’d turned her back on him, but he felt nothing. In the place of pain was a burgeoning excitement in his heart, he was convinced that she was the woman for him and he wouldn’t let go of her easily.

A crooked smile played on his lips as he remembered how unsure she had sounded when she had denied loving him.

‘It was only for the sex…’ he giggled as he mimicked her.

Lies, her eyes had betrayed her words, he had begged her to open up to him, to share her burden with him, but she had refused.
No woman had humiliated him the way Toke had; women cast themselves at his feet, they worshipped him, but he was no god, so he rejected the sacrifice of their worship. His heart only beat for TokeMelaye and he would conquer her for himself.

He felt sad seeing the way she lived, something was not right about her environment. He wondered if she had a lot of siblings, maybe she was using all of her earnings to cater for them.

‘I need to find out more about her.’ He murmured as he drove into the Legacy mansion.

Once he’d brought the car to a halt, he decided his secretary would be the best for the job, Shola was a hacker and was very good at internet stalking, she was really valuable to him especially in the face of intense competition, where he needed the aid of spies to see what his rivals were planning.

“I need everything you can find on Ms. TokeMelaye ASAP.”He closed his eyes once the message was sent, he just could not fathom her actions.

He ran a mental check on his attitudes and behaviours the previous weeks, he was certain that he had not said anything that could hurt her enough for her to quit her job.
‘Hm…’ he bit his lip as he worked on a plan.

He needed Shola’s help once again, “text me when you are free, we need to talk.”
Once he was through, he took a deep breath knowing it was time to face his grandmother.
