THE BILLIONAIRE’S PERFECT MATE

‘I met with your father earlier today’, Ellie said.

‘What? How come?’, Edward asked, shocked.

‘He was the one who called me last night. He said we needed to see’, Ellie said.

‘But you told me that was a friend’, Edward said.

‘I am sorry I lied to you. He told me not to inform which was why I had to lie. But after giving it a thought, I realized you need to be aware of it’, Ellie said, trying to convince Edward that she never meant to lie to him.

‘That’s fine. So, what did you talk about? Did he bully you?’, Edward asked, getting worked up.

‘No, he didn’t. Actually, made a deal with him’, Ellie said.

‘A deal?’, Edward restated aloud.

‘Yes, a deal. He promised to let us be and let through of your divorce with Sophia if I am able to complete a given task within three weeks’, Ellie said, looking into Edward’s eyes.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

‘And you believed him? What if he goes back on his word? What is the task all about?’, Edward asked, showing keen interest.

‘I need to secure a collaboration with Oswell Fashion Brand within three weeks’, Ellie said, in a very low voice.

‘What? I tried achieving this countless of times but I was unable to. Collins is a very strict and stubborn man who wouldn’t grant anyone audience. I tried having an appointment with him but he turned me down. Do you think you can do this?’, Edward asked.

‘I am not sure but I will give it a trial. I will do anything to keep you’, Ellie said.

‘You don’t have to go through this to have me. I am already yours and nothing can change that. I will go through with the divorce whether he supports it or not, so just give this up’, Edward said, trying to convince Ellie to give up the deal.

‘I want to win the right way’, Ellie said.

‘Win the right way? What do you mean by that?’, Edward asked, confused.

‘You can’t always be the one fighting for us, I want to do something too. Please, let me go through with this’, Ellie said, in a pleading voice.

‘Sure, if that’s what you want. I will support you in any way I can but do not beat yourself too hard. Whether you win or not, we will always be together’, Edwards said, holding Ellie’s hands, trying to reassure her. Ellie smiled in return.

‘So, where do want to start from?’, Edward asked.

‘Actually, I have someone that can pave way to meeting with Collins’, Ellie said, smiling.

‘Really? Who is that?’, Edward asked.

‘The guy you punched at the club the other night. That’s Collins’ first son’, Clinton’, Ellie said.

‘What? Why didn’t you tell me that night? I would have restrained myself. Hope I haven’t messed up your chance with him?’, Edward said, getting worked up.

‘Are you regretting fighting for your love right now?’, Ellie asked, laughing.

‘No, I am not and I never will. I will always fight for our love no matter the circumstances’, Edward said, pulling Ellie in for a tight embrace. While in the middle of their embrace, Sophia walked in..

‘Seems like something good happened to the two love birds. You both look happy’, Sophia said, disgustingly.

‘Do you want us to be sad? If that’s what you are waiting to see, that will never happen’, Ellie said, breaking free from Edward’s embrace and walking up to meet Sophia where she was standing.

‘Is it about the deal you made with Daniel? Don’t be so happy because I just made the same deal with him’, Sophia said, smiling.

‘And so? Do you think you can win? Let’s see what you are capable of doing. I don’t think you should be here ight now. I think you should be somewhere, strategizing on how to win Collins over instead of you being here, disrupting two love birds’ special moment. Or what do you think, darling?’, Ellie asked Edward, smiling.

‘I think you are right, baby. You shouldn’t be here, so, why don’t you use the door?’, Edward said, showing Sophia the way out.

‘Really? You are trying to walk me out because of her? She is just a nobody. She is a prostitute who goes round snatching other people’s husbands’, Sophia said but before she could finish, Ellie landed a slap on her cheek.

‘You don’t have the right to call me names. A prostitute? Coming from someone who is pregnant for her husband’s best friend’, Ellie said, smirking. This got to Sophia and she wanted to retaliate but before her hand could land on Ellie’s cheek, Edward held it.

‘Don’t you dare’, Edward said, yanking her hand off.

‘Who are you to touch my woman? You have no right to do that. Try it again and see what I do to you. Now, get out’, Edward said angrily, pointing towards the exit.

‘But she slapped me first? Why didn’t you stop her?’, Sophia asked, angrily.

‘That’s because you deserve it’, Edward replied.

‘You heard that? His woman. No matter what you do, you can never separate us. You can leave now’, Ellie said to Sophia.

‘This is not the end Ellie. I will make sure to pay you back in ten folds. Enjoy it while it lasts. As for you, Edward, you will come back begging for me’, Sophia said angrily, walking away with Ellie smirking. As soon as Ellie turned to face Edward, she saw his eyes on her. His gaze was that of someone who had just set his eyes on her for the first time.

‘What?’, Ellie asked, confused by his gaze.

‘Wow, that was cool. I love the way you stood for yourself’, Edward said, smiling.

‘She is getting on my nerves and I can’t tolerate her improper behavior again. I need to put her in her place, so she would know who she is going against’, Ellie said rolling her eyes.

‘You have done well’, Edward said, patting Ellie’s head, which made her giggled.

‘That aside, why don’t you get on making your deal a successful one? What’s the first step?’, Edward asked.

‘To call Clinton’, Ellie said, heading to where he phone was placed. Picking he phone, she dialed Clinton’s number.

‘Hello, Clinton. This is Ellie’, Ellie said, upon Clinton picking up.

‘Yes, I know it’s you. How are you doing?’, Clinton responded.

‘I am good. Actually, I need your help’, Ellie said.

‘Bring it on. Anything for you, baby girl’, Clinton responded, making Ellie smile.
