THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

Two men, who were blindfolded, were tied to the chairs. One was on a casual dress, which showed he was a middle class man, while the other was dressed in suit, putting on expensive shoes and a wristwatch, which was screaming luxury. The other man seemed to be a Scion, due to how extravagant everything he was putting on looked. Their heads hung limply, with their chins resting on their chest as they slept, tied to the chairs. Their necks were bent at an awkward angle and their hairs, which were disheveled, fell forward, partially obscuring their faces.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

They were in a room which looked like an abandoned place. The walls of the room were crumbled, overgrown with vines that had crept through cracked windows and broken doors. The floor of the room was coated in dust and the rusted door at the entrance of the room seemed to have been locked from outside. The two men seemed not to be aware of what was going on and where they were, as they were still soundly asleep, changing gears.

While in their slumbers, a lady putting on a shining leather trouser and a jacket, holding a rod with two hefty men behind her, stood at the entrance of the room. In a swift, she turned the handle of the door and opened the door loudly, revealing the room beyond. They all walked in and upon the sight of the two men tied to the chairs, she smirked.

“Wake them up” the lady instructed, sitting on an empty iron chair and motioning for the two hefty men to wake up the captives. Moving close to them, the hefty men removed the veils used to cover the captives’ eyes and afterwards, poured the water from the jerrycan over their faces, to wake them up from their sleep. Coughing loudly due to the fact that the water had choked them from their sleep, the two men opened their eyes to the shining light in the room. They slowly began to become fully aware of their surrounding and as soon as they set their eyes on the lady sitting in front of them, they were consumed with fear. They tried getting up from the chairs and tried taking to their heels but they couldn’t and it was at that moment, they realized they had been tied to the chairs. The lady sat confidently and watched as the two men tried all they could to set themselves free, which proved abortive.

“You know, what you two are doing right now reminds me of how I was always tied to the bed that time, whenever you, wanted to have sex with me” the lady said, pointing at the man who seemed to be a Scion.

“I remember struggling the same way you two are struggling now, hoping and praying to break free from my prison but I never was able to” the lady, who was now standing said, with pain in her eyes as she recounted her past experience said.

“What do you want? Is it money that you want? State you price and I will give you whatsoever you want” the wealthy guy said, being confident.

“Money? I should state my price? You still go about bribing people to have your way? You want to buy me off just like you tried doing 10 years ago?” I thought you would have changed, but seems like I had a wrong perception of you. Well like you said, I will state my price; the price for you to walk out of here alive” the lady said. The other captive was quiet and he looked really scared and afraid.

“Well, here is my price. One of you must die. So, you have to convince me as to why I should spare you and kill the other. The same is applicable to you too. You both have 5 minutes to convince me and if none of you is able to convince me within those minutes, then you both will have to die” the lady said, facing the quiet captive.

“Ellie, please do not do this. I know I have wronged you a lot but find a place in your heart to forgive me. Think about the love we shared together. Think about the years we spent together, living under the same room. Think about the love I had for you and how I cared for you and your daughter” Kevin, the quiet captive said, pleading for forgiveness. As soon as he said this, Ellie burst into laughter.

“Forgive you? The love we shared together? The love you had for my daughter? Have you forgotten so soon how you killed my daughter? Have you forgotten so soon how you left her all alone to meet with your mistress? Have you forgotten how you bashed me up so many times? Have you forgotten how you turned me into a sex slave and made me sleep with different men, including him, just for money? Have you forgotten how you raped me 6 years ago and made me go to prison for the crime I didn’t commit? I was imprisoned for killing you, but it’s surprising how hale and hearty you have been, for the past 6 years. And you are asking me to forgive you?” Ellie yelled, with her bloodshot eyes fixed on Kevin. Her eyes were filled with pain and hurt. Despite being away for more than 5 years, the pain and hurt still felt fresh and new in her heart. Tears had begun to roll down her eyes but she wiped them off, upon remembering she had to stay strong, to get her revenge on those who hurt her. Kevin couldn’t talk, as the Ellie he was seeing in front of him wasn’t the one he used to know. The Ellie he knew back then, was the one he could manipulate easily but the one standing in front of him at that moment, wasn’t ready to give in to his pleas no matter how hard he tried to sweet talk her.

“You both have three minutes left to choose who to die” Ellie said, letting go of her emotions and focusing on exerting her revenge.

“I think we already know who deserves to die. Kevin hurt you in so many ways and all I did was to sleep with you. The first time I did it, it wasn’t as if you didn’t enjoy it. You did and the times that followed, I actually paid for them all. Your darling husband can attest to that. You can see I didn’t do anything wrong” Clark said boastfully, not feeling remorseful.

“You didn’t do anything wrong? I enjoyed it? Do you think my life would have turned out this way if you hadn’t raped me? Because you couldn’t put your thing in one place, you got me impregnated at a young age. I couldn’t pursue my dream and in the process, I lost my grandmother. Do you know what I went through because of what you did that night? Don’t you feel bad for what you did? Don’t you feel sorry towards me for making my life turn out this way?” Ellie yelled at Clark, feeling agitated.

“Feel sorry? Why should I, when I only shared with you the sweetness of love making? I exposed you to a great sexual life and you should be grateful for that. You are just a weak woman who can’t do anything. You have always been and you will continue being that. You want to kill me? Do you even have the gut?” Clark said, rolling his eyes. His confidence was top-notch, which got Ellie surprised. Clark thought Ellie was just bluffing and she couldn’t do anything as she was unable to do so in the past. But what he didn’t know was that, a weak woman could grow into a strong and fearless woman overnight, if she is filled with rage and hurt and she is driven by revenge.

“You helped me? I should be grateful? You are just as confident as you were back then. Back then, your father had your back which is understandable as to why you were confident and bold, but now that he is no more, I wonder who you are relying on. I can’t do anything? Let’s see if your perception of me is right” Ellie said, putting on a devilish smile amid her hurt.

Turning to the hefty men, Ellie commanded, “Cut his thing off and break his bones. Make him paralyzed. Let the show begin.” She crossed her legs and sat back, ready to watch as the men approached Clark with a knife and a rod. His confidence shattered as the reality of Ellie’s resolve dawned on him.
