Married the Billionaire

*** 16 years ago ***

A boy who was around 8 years sat down alone on a bench, crying and then a girl of 6 years approached him.

“Let’s play together.”, she said bringing out her toys.

“I don’t want to play with you.”, he said pushing her away.

“But my parents said I should play with you.”, she said.

“I don’t want to play with you, I want to go home.”, he said.

“Are you crying?”, she asked and he wiped his tears.

“I can give you any of my toys if you want.”, she offered.

“I said you should leave me alone, I don’t want to play with you.”, he said pushing her.

**** Harrison McCall’s company ****

Lisa, Harrison McCall’s secretary telephone rang.

She didn’t waste time picking it up, she knew the call must be very important and she doesn’t want to get on the bad side of her boss's mother.

Mrs Evelyn is a very strict woman who doesn’t take nonsense.

“My son has a date at 5 pm, Ensure that he attends and he doesn’t keep the lady waiting like the last time.”, Mrs Evelyn, Harrison’s mom said and hung up before Lisa could reply.

Lisa sighed in frustration, looking at the time. It was already half passed 4.

She remembers vividly that she was reminding her boss severally on his last date but he paid no attention to her and ended up being late for the date.

Not only did he go late, he spoke rudely to the lady which led the lady to leave.

Lisa knocked on his door but there was no reply.

She continued knocking until his voice was heard, well this isn’t the first time that Harrison wouldn’t reply and the funniest part is that she will have to wait until he replies.

“Are you that dumb? Can’t you just enter and say what you want to say? Must I reply all the time?”, he asked abruptly.

His voice alone could send cold shivers to one’s body. Whenever Harrison isn’t in a good mood, Lisa is always the victim of his aggression.

“Am sorry.”, she apologized not knowing why she was in the first place.

“Mrs Evelyn wants you to arrive at your date early and it’s almost time already.”, she said but still no reply from him as he just continue working on his laptop.

“You can leave now.”, he said after making her wait for his reply.

“Boss Harrison your mom …

Lisa started to say because she assumed he didn’t hear her but she was wrong.

“I said you can leave now”, he said sternly and Lisa left without a word.

Harrison got pissed thinking about the useless date he was having. This would be his fifth date now.

He wonders sometimes why his mom can’t just give up arranging dates for him.

He still doesn’t know why his parents allow arrange dates for him, he doesn’t need a girl in his life…... . at least not now.

His phone started ringing and seeing that it was his mother, he reluctantly picked it up.

“I will assume that you are on your date right?”, Mrs Evelyn said but more like a question.

“Mom…… we already talked about it, you and I both know that my dates don’t go well and I don’t care.”, he said.

“Harrison this will be your last date if only you promise to behave yourself, it is my wish to see you married.”, Mrs Evelyn said and Harrison rolled his eyes.

“OK I will try to behave but I am not promising.”, he said and the line went dead.

*5:45 pm*

*Starwishers restaurant*

Elena Morgan is the only daughter of her parents who are business tycoons.

She sat down waiting for someone who doesn’t seem like he was coming.

She removed her sunglasses and checked her wristwatch several times.

Her outfit drew people’s attention and everyone admired her.

She blamed herself for agreeing to come on a blind date but she just can’t tell her parents that she has a boyfriend already.

When she saw Harrison McCall entering the restaurant, then it occurred to her that he is the one she has been waiting for.

Harrison’s parents and Elena’s parents have been friends for over 24 years now but Elena and Harrison didn’t get along when they were kids.

Harrison didn’t like Elena because she was lousy and so annoying and Elena doesn’t like Harrison because he was too quiet, he keeps things to himself.

She didn’t forget the incident that happened 16 years back when he pushed her away, she had only offered to play with him.

The two of them stared at each other, no one saying a word.

“I see that you are the one am meeting today”, Harrison said and Elena arched her brow.

“So he didn’t know who he was meeting too”, she wondered.

“Me too.”, she said and faked a smile.

She stared at Harrison. He has changed a lot, he has become very tall and handsome but still has an innocent face, it is only that a smile is absent.

A smile has always been absent from his face since he was a child, he never learnt how to smile and probably never.

The silence that came after was so awkward and odd.

No one said a word and then Harrison started operating on his phone but Elena found that very insulting.

It’s not that she wanted a conversation but still, it was so irresponsible of him to start pressing his phone even saying a word.

Harrison received a message and his expression changed immediately.

His eyes were very cold and dark.

He called the waiter and paid for whatever Elena would order and left.

“Torture him and I want his face disfigured before I get there”, he threatened furiously on the phone when he got out of the restaurant.

Elena fussed in anger and left, not only did he keep her waiting in the restaurant, he abandoned her in the restaurant.

*secret mansion*

It was an old huge mansion that no one can enter without being caught.

It requires a password and face unlock. No one caught trying to invade will surely be tortured before being killed.

Harrison pressed the password and the door opened immediately.

“Boss Good evening”, the guards greeted.

“Where’s Tony?”, he asked icily.

“In the torture room”, they replied.

*Torture room*

It is a very very dark place but a little light.

Any person that enters there doesn’t survive.

“Where the hell is he?”, Harrison questioned.

He checked around the room and saw where Rex was being tortured

“You bastard! Why did you get caught? You were just given work to do and you messed it up”, Harrison said picking him on his face and causing more blood to drip from his mouth.

“Boss……. Please forgive me….I made a mistake”, he said coughing out blood.

“You want forgiveness? Y’all should forgive him once he goes to hell”, Harrison said.

“No boss please ……”
