Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (ereader ebook TXT) 📕

" Why apologized? You just did what you think will make you happy. I respect that. " I looked at him and smiled at him. His eyes have the same color as Deus that really reminds me of how I miss him. I miss him so much. I want to see him so bad.

"How is he?" I hesitantly asked. I've been wanting to ask him that, the moment I saw him in the island. It feels like he is my only connection to know about Deus whereabouts.

He sighed and avoided my gaze.

"I actually don't know how to spill it to you." he combed his hair using his fingers. His statement makes me feel nervous. Please let him be okay.

"Why? Did he do something stupid?" I frantically asked him. I am feeling worried.

He rubbed the back of his head.

"My brother wants you back" that sentence is enough to make my heart leap in pure joy. Awww, I'm glad to hear that because I want to go back to him as well. He wants me back! He wants me back. You guys don't know how happy I am.

"That's all I can say for now. He hired me and a lot more of investigators to go and find you. I just got so lucky that I found you first. He promised to buy me a new sports car and pay me a check with lots of zeros on it. I am just a human being who can easily be lured by materials things so I agreed. I'm sorry but by hook or by crook I'm going to take you back because if I wouldn't I'm sure one of his hired people will do it. So, it's better for you to come with me. I'll inflict you no harm and I promise to be nice to you the whole way back in the city. I can tell you lots of stories on the way and I'll treat you to a fancy restaurant after. When I already receive my reward, I promise to buy you channel bags and Valentino shoes. I don't get it but lot of girls like those stuffs so what do you think?" he wiggled his brows. His back to being childish again. The duality though is so cool.

Did he just bribe me? This guy is unbelievable.

"I don't want to." I shake my head. I will play with him first. He pouted and I laughed. He is cute.

"Hey, come on. Somebody is surely on their way to get you here. They will surely take you by force and I am here asking you politely so don't make me do something you don't want. Come on. I'm nice and good. “He pleaded while pointing at himself as nice and good.

"Chill, Actually I am already planning to return with Ali. We already talked about it. So for the sake of your car, I'll go with you." I confessed and his eyes glimmered.

"Yohoooo. So be ready tomorrow. I'll prepare the yacht and home sweetie Home. I'm going to get rich" he punches the air in excitement.

"No, not tomorrow please." I said. He stopped celebrating.

"Why not? We need to go back home as soon as possible. Deus is getting impatient day by day." his excitement vanished and his shoulders slumped again. He really acts like a kid.

"Deus being impatient is not new. I'll go back but please not tomorrow. Give us at least three more days. Tomorrow is Alison's mom death anniversary. Let's give her time to grieve. I wanna be here for her so please give me more time." Maybe that is also the reason why I can't sleep. I am too anxious about tomorrow. I'm too worried about her being emotional again even though she promised me she wouldn't.

"Tsk, okay okay copy that boss. But allow me to tell my brother that I already found you. I am so excited for his reaction." I am shocked he didn't tell his brother about my location yet. I thought he already told him about me days ago.

He fished out his phone and dial some number. Is he calling him? The idea excites me.

I wanna hear him.

I wanna hear his voice so bad.

But calling him past three in the morning? Is that a good idea? He will answer him grumpily I'm hundred percent sure. I can't stop myself from smiling from the thought of his facial reaction.

"Hey, you awake?" Tres asked in a cheerful tone.

Calling someone at dawn and asking them if they are awake is the dumbest thing to do.

I poked my head with his little kid acts. Little kid in a body of a grown-up man I should say.

"I have a surprise for you brother. Come on take a guess" Tres cautiously moved away his phone from his ears. I know Deus shout at him in the other line. I chuckled.

"Calm down. AND DON'T SHOUT AT ME. I WILL LET MOM KNOW ABOUT THIS." I laughed even more. What a baby.

"I'm still a kid. Duh I'm just twenty-five unlike you old man." his facial expression is priceless. I am laughing my ass off.

"Don't try me brother or you will not see her." is he using me to blackmail him?

"Yes, you heard it right. I found her. I found her." Tres is saying it in a sing song tone.

"She's okay. She looks healthy bro. Yes, I think she's eating a lot. Yes, she's comfortable. I've been to her room and it look super nice. What's with a lot of questions?" Tres is too loud and energetic for this time of the day.

"Yes, she is still awake. She's with me but she can't hear you." Tres look at me and smiled at me and mouthed "He misses you a lot he is just shy to admit" and I give him a smiled. My heart is going to explode knowing he still cared that much for me.
