Billionaire’s Heir

Marcus POV

I walked out of the house towards my black Lamborghini that was parked outside the parking space. I pressed the button on the key and the car beeped, unlocked. I have 20 minutes to arrive at the location of the blind date, which my mum has already planned.

I drove off and arrived twenty-five minutes already five minutes late at the 3 Michelin star restaurant. It’s one of the most expensive and classy restaurants that offers the best dining experience. I got out and closed the door then tossed the keys to the valet. Stepping into the restaurant I readjusted my already well-ironed suit and walked swiftly to the reception hostess

” Good evening sir, do you have a reservation? The hostess purred, eyeing me like I was the last drink of water in a hot desert.

” Yeah I have a reservation table 6 ” I responded

” Right this way please.” She gave me her attempt at a sultry smile, and I mentally rolled my eyes.

I was used to this, women have been chasing after me for years trying to lock me down, but I was never interested. All I know is I’m not letting Myra go, ever. She’s the one for me.

I was led to the back of the restaurant, next to the floor to the awning windows that would offer a spectacular view during the day. Seated on the banquet chair was my date tonight actually my mum’s matchmaking date Sheila Harrington with her styled highlighted blonde hair and brown eyes. She was dressed in long black heels and a short white gown that stopped mid-thigh and hugged her body perfectly and her dress was tight around her chest area, making her boobs pop out through the deep V-neckline of her gown. She wore wild makeup that could draw attention to her even from afar making her look like a night worker.

” Sorry for keeping you waiting,” I said, making my presence known to her.

she raised her head from her phone and smiled sweetly at me but I didn’t return the smile I just stared at her.

” No problem, I just arrived not too long” She replied

I pulled out the seat in front of her and sat down, I looked up at the hostess who was standing a little too close for comfort and eye fucking me.

” If you ever need anything, please don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll be happy to fulfill all your needs” She placed a hand on my shoulder but I shrugged it off

” Please refrain from touching me, and stop all the innuendos. I’m not interested and I find it highly disrespectful that you’re acting in this manner” I said sternly, making the hostess pale and step back. Her face turned cherry red as she mumbled apologies before scurrying away.

I looked at Sheila who was sitting and observing the whole thing and smiling

” Does she smile all the time or maybe she is just putting up a facade” I mentally scoffed

” I have always wanted to meet you as I have always been your secret admirer, I didn’t believe it when your mum reached out to my dad asking him if it would be okay for us to go out on a date and if everything works out perfectly we can tie the knot. I was super delighted and couldn’t wait for the fixed day to arrive, it felt like ages but at last, I’m here with you. It’s more like a dream come true.” Sheila kept babbling like an excited kid.

I wasn’t paying attention to her words, I was not drawn to her instead, I found myself comparing her with Myra, her voice was not as soothing as Myra’s.

Her hair color was too basic and the manner she was openly professing her feelings is a turnoff and not a lady-like attitude.

But with Myra, things are way different, in her case, I’m the one chasing after her and she’s the one being hunted.

And I must say, I love being the chaser.

There is something about her that makes the chasing even more compelling.

” You seem distracted and stressed, I can relieve you of whatever thing you feel that’s if you let me,” Sheila spoke out bringing me back to the unwanted date conversation. She bit her lips seductively at me before placing her hands on my hands and rubbing them slowly while maintaining eye contact with me.

” Why is she making an obvious attempt to woo me, Myra was just the opposite. I found myself comparing again. I would be lying if I say I find her intriguing, this whole date stuff is getting on my nerves and the more I try to feign interest the more vapid it’s… I glanced at my wristwatch and decided to place an order for our dinner since it was getting late already and I am quite famished. Also, it will be a good moment for her to stop chattering.

” Can we place an order, please I’m famished” I said softlyBelonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

She nodded hesitantly and picked up the menu, then flashed one of those seductive smiles and said you can order for me, anything you choose is perfectly satisfactory for me.

I was perplexed with her decision but I smiled and nodded my head.

” Good. I’ll order for both of us.” I gave her a grin, and set our menus on the side

I signaled a waitress to come take our order, a waitress emerged, greeting the both of us with a polite smile.

” Good night, Can I start you two off with a drink,” the waitress asked

“Yeah, we’d like a bottle of Petrus wine,” I said

” Okay. Would you like to order now as well?”

“Yeah, we’ll have the tenderloin with roasted potatoes, green beans, and mushrooms.”

“And chicken tortilla casserole,” Sheila chipped in

She wrote down our order, before leaving us.

” Do you come here to eat often?” Sheila asked

” Yes, I do. My friends own this restaurant.”

She hummed, looking around the restaurant, and said

” Are you not going to inquire about personal info about me, or you don’t find me attractive enough because you have not said anything to me since you got here.”

I leaned back into the seat, just as the waitress came back with our bottle of red wine

She poured two glasses, before excusing herself. I watched as Sheila took a huge gulp before I took a sip myself.

“So… tell me about yourself, Sheila,” I asked not really curious to know

” What do you want to know?” She asked while blushing and pouting her lips

” You can start from somewhere” I gave her a devastating grin and she blushed harder while biting her lip seductively.

” Sheila Harrington. I’m 25 years old. I’m the managing executive in my dad’s club. I love having fun, good food, having sex, and watching movies. My favorite color is purple and my favorite sex position is lotus.” I think that should cover anything you want to know, she said shamelessly in a tone that I considered cringe.

I was shocked though I didn’t show it “That’s one hell of a prelude, thanks Sheila for those tidbits of information. I said slowly, gazing at her and she grinned.

Our food came out a short while after and we ate in comfortable silence. Though it’s obvious she wasn’t pleased with the quietness buh has no other option than to comply. After we finished eating I ordered dessert a chocolate lava cake with ice cream.

” I want to go back to what we were talking about earlier before the food came. Marcus, I love you so much though I have always admired you from a distance, and your mum helped out by arranging this date at least it saved me from going through the trouble of pursuing you. I have incredible intentions for us”. She said

” And what are your intentions, Sheila?” I inquired

” I think I’ve more than made my intentions clear since you arrived but since you can’t seem to wrap your head around the idea, let me make it a bit clearer.

I want you, one look at you and I want you forever by my side, I’m sorry no I’m not sorry that’s the way I feel about you and I’m glad we’re having this date. Do you understand now?” Her eyes blazed with heat and lust

I wasn’t ready to dwell on that now, so I decided to turn the tables on her

” You should finish your dessert, the ice cream is dissolving ”

She looked at me with wide eyes and said softly ” You’re more momentous than the dessert.”

I didn’t want to hurt her feelings but at the same time, I detest pretense. I can’t lead her on when I know nothing meaningful will ever come out of the relationship and I can never care or treat her endearingly. It’s all Mum’s idea and I agreed to this date just to make her happy.

” I know I’m asking a lot of you Marcus. But I need you to give me a chance and trust me. Give me a chance to prove to you that I’m here for the long haul. I have loved you as a teenager and now as an adult, I still love you so much she murmured while running a finger across her lip.

I studied her for a bit, her eyes showing a trace of hurt, and I shook my head and cleared my voice

” This Is going to hurt her feelings but it’s for the best,” my conscience said to me

Sheila, I’m sorry I have no intention of keeping you as my girlfriend. This date is Mum’s idea and not mine. I would have called it off when she told me but it was too late because she had already set up the plan with you before informing me. I understand you have had a crush on me for a long time, but trust me I feel nothing for you and never will… I declared

“Listen, Marcus, we can make this work and I promise to put in my best behavior,” She said in a pleading tone

I pulled back, looking at the fogged look on her face, before calling the waitress over for the check.

She held my hand after I finished paying for our meal and I gently pulled out my hand.

” Marcus, please don’t do this to me”

“Are you that desperate?” I asked looking at her sternly

” No…no… Marcus, how could you even say that?”

“Because that’s what you’re depicting now, you’re clingy and possessive of someone that has not even asked you out, you should carry yourself with dignity, you’re a woman. Stop hurling yourself at a man. I said and stood up to leave but she held my hand saying

” How about us finishing off the date night together on your bed” she suggested seductively

I shook my head and glared at her ” Stop trying, you’re not my type and can never be.” I said in a tone laced with dark humor. With that, I walked out of the restaurant without sparing her a second glance.

I got to the parking lot and entered my car then picked up my phone to call my cousin Frank. I need to clear my head. All I want to do at the moment is to hang out with him and drown myself in some liquor.

Immediately he picked up and started with his silly laughter and spoofs.

” Hey buddy, Are you done with your date” he teased while chuckling

” Hey Man, not in the mood for that, I wanted to find out if you’re free so we can hang out together and have a drink.

“Woah!!! Slow down buddy was the date that bad or maybe you’re still having Myra’s syndrome”

” Are you in or out?” I asked hastily

“Okay, I’m in, where is the spot,” He asked though still attempting to stop chuckling

“See you in the Lustystrip Club and don’t come asking questions about the date, we’re going to have fun,” I said more like I was cautioning him.

“Okay!! Fine, see you in a jiffy man, and he ended the call.

Plunging the phone into my cubby hole I drove off to the Lustystrip club. Getting to the club and still no sign of Frank’s car I decided to stay in the car and wait for him to arrive so we could enter the club together. Looking around the club I caught a glimpse of a Mercedes AMG CLS 53 with Graham boldly written on the license plate. Still contemplating what Damian, a married man, will be doing in the club by this time of the night.

I got the shock of my life when Damian came out of the club holding a lady on the waist, it was apparent that the woman wasn’t Myra.

The woman in question was chubby and petite while Myra was the opposite of her.

I tried to convince myself just maybe she is one of his business associates but the lady’s next action of kissing Damian was enough to confirm my doubts about them being fuck buddies

” Damian is cheating on Myra and why will he do that,” I asked no one in particular

I stepped out of the car and hid in one of the cars parked in the garage so I could get a clearer view of the mysterious woman. Immediately she turned towards the place I was hiding, I got the tremendous shock of my life

“Meghan”
