THE BILLIONAIRE'S ULTIMATE PRIZE

MIA'S POVAs I walked into the tall building, I couldn't stop my imagination from running wild. I inhaled sharply trying to calm my racing heart. I pushed open the transparent glass door and walked briskly towards the stairs, ignoring the elevator. I needed something to distract me. Something to scream at me and yell at me to go back home. Approaching Mrs Brooks' office, I met two ladies in suits. "I thought boss was all about class and sexiness, judging from what just walked in, I'm beginning to doubt his taste" the blonde haired lady sitting next to me sneered.I knew she was talking about me. Being a victim and survivor of being bullied all my life, her words had no effect on me."Shush girl, he could also be in need of a nanny you know" the other girl asserted and they both laughed.Their voices sounded like a pack of hyenas howling for food.I closed my eyes and let out a sigh. None of them mattered to me. The only thing that mattered was on the sick bed in the hospital.The

MIA'S POVThe ray of light seeped through the curtain into the dark room. My head was pounding from all the wailing from yesterday. I pushed myself up and walked to the bathroom to wash myself. I was still in my dress, I arrived home late and didn't have the energy to change. I stared at the mirror, I shrieked at the sight of my disoriented state. My hair was like a bird's nest, dark circles under my eyes made me look like a ghost. My face was swollen from crying.I heard a knock on the door, startling me."Good morning Madam, breakfast is served.Mr Denver is waiting for you downstairs" a man's voice yelled through the door. "I'll be there, please give me some time to freshen up" I responded trying to brush my teeth. It seems he bought everything that I would be needing for my stay. How "thoughtful" I scoffed."That won't be possible Madam. Mr Denver is impatient, he waits for no one. l advice you come out now." He said. The fear in his voice made me roll my eyes."Tell your boss, I

MIA’S POVI stared in horror as I watched Denver sweep his cane side by side trying to reach out to me."A friend… it's… a friend. A friend from college…" I lied. I could feel my body trembling. Finding out about my Tyler would sabotage the contract."Now! I will say this once and for all" he seethed. " You belong to me, your body, your soul, all mine till I say otherwise you understand?His cologne filled my nostrils and I found myself relaxing in his presence. “Weirdo”. Surprisingly, I found myself getting excited by his threats. “Ye… yes… “ I answered, trying to calm down my racing heart. Oh God! I was expecting a day like this to come but not so early. Tyler mustn’t know of this, not now. “Good! I won’t ever repeat myself again, is that clear?” He asked, waiting for an answer.I gave him a curt nod but quickly whispered “yes” when I realized he couldn’t see me. “You coming with me to a charity ball tonight” Denver’s cold voice broke me out of my trance. “I’m not a patient man Mi

MIA’S POV (FLASHBACK) “Riley, please slow down” I tried to steady my breathing as Riley drove at high speed. The memory of what happened to Dad and me was imprinted at the back of my mind. “I knew we shouldn't have brought her with us.” Callie, Riley's friend hissed in annoyance. I ignored her and stared at the road. Riley's friends never liked me and in my defense, the feeling was mutual. George, Riley’s boyfriend, increased the volume of the radio. “Humble” by Kendrick Lamar blared out of the loudspeaker “This song is for you, Mia. Be humble and shut the fuck up. You are becoming annoying” Riley yelled at the top of her voice”. I tried distracting myself from the noise as I stared out the window. Turning away from the window, I looked in front of me and saw Riley and George locked lips, kissing. “Come on Riley, concentrate on the road. You….. “ I was cut shut by a loud bang which was followed by a painful scream. “What just happened?” I was horrifi

MIA’S POVAs I stared blankly at the computer in front of me, my mind drifted to my encounter with Dylan this morning. I felt my lips twitch into a satisfied smile. His jaw was clenched with an angry expression on his face. I could see invisible smoke coming out of his ears. He was as shocked as others when I was announced as the new COO of STERLO MULTINATIONAL COOPERATION. I pursed my mouth into a self-satisfied smirk.“I believe you have ears, Mr. Dylan. Should I take your silence as an answer that you are aware of this scheme?” I questioned, pressing hard to get a reaction. His hardened expression was beginning to fade into panic. Pathetic! I scoffed. Typical for someone as cruel and covetous as him.He scoffed “I don't understand you, Ma’am! “Are you accusing me of embezzlement? I smirked, noticing he was beginning to panic. “ Don't shoot yourself in the leg Mr Dylan, you just clearly accused yourself.”“As the Account Manager, explain to us why 25% of each financial trans
