Entangled With The Crippled Billionaire

Poor Sharon wasn’t around. So she didn’t have an idea of what was going on. Imagine her surprise, when her parents behavior suddenly changed overnight. Well they had always seem to favour Sheila before but after the revelation of the drug incidence, they went extreme with showing how much they loved Sheila than Sharon.

At first they tried to hide the drug incidence from the children so as not to cause conflict but then Sheila already knew cause she is the mastermind behind it. And she also made sure that Ben found out.

She slowly poisoned his mind towards Sharon. Only poor Sharon was kept in the dark and baffled towards their drastic change. No one told her anything. They just treated her like a leech.

Up till this moment, she always wondered why they treated her like… Like she wasn’t part of the family at all. Not knowing it’s just a little seed of discord that caused all these.

Sheila picked up her phone and called Ben,”Brother, we can’t let him go scot-free after doing this to me. He put me in this condition and wants to go back to that bitch? He’s longing for that bitch when his family is here. Why isn’t he thinking of his baby!?”

Ben chuckled and said,”I’m here for you. He would never be with that bitch. He’s all yours. Don’t worry about her. You know what?”

“What?!”

“Come home tonight. We are gonna discuss with dad and make sure to get your marriage fixed as soon as possible. I know the fool won’t object if dad personally talks to him.”

“But brother… Getting married? Don’t you think it’s too soon for that?,” Sheila asked with a reluctant voice.

“What is it Sheila? Do you wanna lose him to that bitch? Now that dad’s business is crumbling, I need all the financial support I can get. And you will only be able to help me once you become Mrs Kings,” Ben said trying to convince her.

Sheila went silent for a minute as she thought of what he just said. Aiden is still useful or at least his financial assets are still useful.

“Brother, do you think he’s gonna agree to this marriage since he is mad at me and now seems to like that bitch?,” Sheila questioned.

“Don’t worry Sheila. Once we talk to Dad, we’ll persuade him to convince Aiden. And about that bitch, once we get her location, I’ll deal with her. I can even keep her hidden until your marriage is finalized,”Ben answered.

Sheila smiled and thought,”These people are all ragdolls. I can use them as I want. Just a little bit of discord and they totally believed it. The dummies didn’t even bother to ask Sharon is she really takes drugs or not.”

“Brother, I’m so happy I have you. I love you,” Sheila said blowing kisses at Ben through the phone.

“I love you too,” Ben replied before cutting the call.

As soon as he cut the call, he breathe in relief. Once Sheila is able to marry Aiden, he won’t have to worry about marrying that old man’s daughter. Sh*t! The lady is even years older than him yet that old fool wants him to marry her.

A handsome young man like him can never settle down with an old woman no matter how wealthy she is.

Ben walked to his laptop and checked the time. It’s already so late at night and he’s not asleep. Once he gets that bitch that has been giving him sleepless nights, he swear he won’t let her go.

Once she spend like three to four years in captivity that no one even remembers her again, then his mind will finally be at rest.

“Why do you have so much hatred for her?,” his subconscious asked him. You know subconscious, right? That voice that always speaks quietly in your mind.

“I don’t know,” Ben said out loud sighing. There is just this huge part of his heart that is…that is filled with immense hatred for her.

“Is it because of what happened that day?” the subconscious spoke again. Mehn! Why is this voice so inquisitive?

“Lena, sorry to disturb you,” Jasper called out loud as he knocked on Lena’s door while trying to hold the wailing baby carefully.

“Tia… Baby, please stop crying. We can’t find your mama. Sssh…Sssh,” Jasper cooed at her.

Just then Lena opened the door, her eyes half-closed. Immediately Tia’s wails registered in her sleepy brain, she woke up instantly.

“Oh! My! Gosh! Why is she crying like this? Where’s Sharon?,” Lena asked as she carried the baby immediately. Even so Tia didn’t stop crying.

“I should be asking you that. Where’s Sharon? I thought she had a sleepover in your room,” Jasper replied looking perplexed.

“Sleepover? Sharon never has sleepovers with me. Did you check her room?,” Lena asked as she desperately tried to pacify Tia.

“Yes but she’s not there. That’s why I came here,” Jasper replied as he tugged his hair, now panicking a little. Where did fatty go? What’s this restless feeling in his heart?

“Brother, let’s go to her room and check again,” Lena said and Jasper followed her.

As soon as they got to the room, Jasper steered his wheelchair round the room. “See she’s not here. She’s not in bed also. Where could she be?,” Jasper asked.

Lena still felt that something is wrong somewhere. She went to the bed and checked it. She was about to leave when she noticed the towel on the bed. Hmm! Isn’t towel supposed to be in the bathroom drawer so why is it here?

She walked to the bathroom and Jasper quickly followed her. As soon as they got there, they discovered it’s locked. “Why is this door locked? The key is even here,” Lena soliloquized.

But she couldn’t handle the door cause of Tia. So she handed the baby over to Jasper. Jasper patted her back immediately as she is now hiccuping due to crying a lot.

Lena quickly opened the door and walked in. As soon as she entered, she shouted,”Oh! My! Goodness! Sharon.”

Jasper got worried and was about to enter but Lena quickly stopped him,”Brother don’t come in! She’s naked.”

Jasper stopped as he heard the word “naked”. Hmm! He gulped as some certain scenes escaped into his mind. If he wasn’t carrying Tia now, he would have hit himself on the head.

At a time like this, he’s thinking about something sensual. He immediately shook his head sideways to get the lewd thoughts out of his head.

Lena came out and closed the door. She hurriedly took the towel on the bed and rushed back to the bathroom. Soon enough she appeared with Sharon, desperately struggling to support her.

Jasper steered his wheelchair backwards to allow them pass. What the f*ck happened to her? How did she get locked up in the bathroom?

Lena put her on the bed and watched her shivering. Her body is so cold. Sharon didn’t open her eyes at all. Just shivering from the cold. Lena covered her with the bed duvet but she was still mumbling,”So cold.”

“How the hell did this happen?,” Jasper asked as he steered his wheelchair towards the bed. Tia baby didn’t understand the situation. She was even more aggrieved cause she increased the volume of her cries.

Why don’t they understand? She wants mummy!!! “Sssh Tia, don’t cry,” Jasper tried to pacify her.

Lena already brought out her phone to call a doctor as she watched Sharon shivering vigorously on the bed.

“Tia… Tia… Ba.. Baby,”Sharon mumbled on the bed, her eyes still closed. Lena sat down beside her and held her hands.

“Ssh… Honey, Tia is fine,” she slowly pat her hair.

“Tia… Where’s my baby? Tia… Tia,” Sharon still struggled on the bed until she finally gasped and went silent.

Lena immediately checked her pulse,”She’s still breathing. Only lost consciousness.”

Just then the doctor answered the call.”Hello… Who is this?,” his sleep-filled voice came through the line.

Lena immediately explained everything that has happened.

“I’m afraid she’s gotten a severe cold for her to have fallen unconscious. And there’s no way I can come there in the middle of the night,” the doctor answered after listening to her explanation.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

“I know. Just prescribed something for us. At least first aid or something,” Lena asked.

The doctor told them what to do and promised to be there early the next morning. Since there wasn’t any available drug for her cold, Lena shut the whole windows and wrapped Sharon in bundle of clothes.

Few minutes later and there’s still no improvement. It’s as if it’s getting worse. By then Tia had already fallen asleep from exhaustion. Lena called the doctor again.

“Miss, I’m afraid what she needs now is body heat,” the doctor stated.
