The Billionaire Wants Me

“Dad, this ain't funny no more! I'm twenty-one soon to be twenty-two years old, you can't keep controlling me like a freaking teenager,” yelled Jane, walking out of her dad's office. Jane's dad had invited her to his office to talk to her about the absurdity of her extravagance. She'd become so daring, the nerve to walk out on her dad.

“Come back here young lady, you don't walk out on me whilst I'm still talking," Edmund Peterson Sputtered with authority, rising from his seat. Jane nervously walks back towards her dad. Edmund is very strict but loves his daughter dearly. He walks towards her and tries to talk some sense into her.

“I have enemies everywhere, they can hurt you to get at me, now I'm not saying you can't have fun, but I need you to slow down a little," Edmund cautions her, holding her hand and looking straight into her eyes, to ensure his message sinks deep. Jane nods her head in guilt.

''I made a promise to your mom on her dying bed, to protect you, and that's what I've done and will keep doing until I die. You are very precious to me, so you must be meticulous, you hear?" Utters Edmund looking straight into her eyes.

“Yeah dad, sorry for walking out on you, that ain't gonna happen no more,” Jane receptively replies, looking at her dad with sympathetic eyes.

“That's alright, and you have to stop this ghetto talk, Where did you even learn that from?” Edmund asks with a wry smile. Jane promises to stop talking ghetto,

“I won't speak it no more, sorry anymore.” They both smile and hug each other.

Jane walks out of her dad's office. Her soft pleasant fragrance, designer dress, shoe and purse, and curly hair attract the attention of Edmund's employees, who can't help but tattle. While the female employees talk about her expensive attire and gait, the male employees talk about her irresistible beauty.

Jane walks out, right into her black Mercedes-AMG; which her dad had offered her when she celebrated her twenty-first birthday. Edmund is the head of a multimillion enterprise and getting her only daughter the latest cars and whatever she desires is not a problem for him.

Jane was born and raised in New shire, a city in South Carolina. She loves her city because of her childhood friends. The community has tried to keep the town green, by creating many parks, growing flowers, and keeping the forest at the city border neat. Tragically, no city is perfect; the crime wave in this small town is unexpectedly high.

This can be linked to a large number of Mafia groups in the city. Jane suspects her dad's involvement in some sort of Mafia, due to the suspicious phone calls she's heard her dad make. But can't dare ask Edmund about it.

Jane arrives home and is welcomed by Anna, (her nanny and head of their domestic staff). She takes her bag, jacket, and the shoes she just removed and accompanies her to her room.

“You're welcome back, dear, how did it go with your dad?” Anna asks Jane with so much concern. Anna is the oldest among Edmund's three domestic staff.

“Well, still the usual talk about me slowing down on my extravagance,” Jane replies, putting on an unwary look.

''I think your father is right on this one, dear. Yesterday you came back drunk, what if one of these bad people out here hurts you?''

Anna has always been that mother figure in Jane's life since her mother died.
