Trouble With The Billionaires - 11 Chapter 10. A Visit At The Black's!

This is so not happening.

This is so not fudging happening.

Oh! But it was really happening! Vanessa scowled at the sight of her vibrant light blue dress, not because it was not beautiful.

Nope, that’s not her nature.

It was because the dress was absolutely gorgeous, with those netted sleeves with flower borders, and the swirling flare skirt, that reached just her knees, which she was forced into.

Just because it was a night at the Black’s….

A dinner celebration! The result of the deal signed between the two rivals! A grand celebration!

….and Nathaniel was going to be there.

Everything was once again settled between her father and Uncle Glen, once she had blabbered out the whole truth, starting from the anonymous job application, to the fake resume and then her wish, which could only be fulfilled if she agreed to her mother’s condition.

Vanessa even put an option to resign!But he refused! So now, she was officially, with the permission of the big boss, a part of The Black’s Corporations!

…. and she had just sorted out this situation when another situation befalled her!

The Grand Celebration!

Oh the joy she felt made her gag!

“Vanessa! Hurry up! We are getting late!” Her mother chirped with excitement as she called from downstairs, as if she didn’t know anything.

Well, she did know about the asthmatic attack, and calmed down after her uncle assured her of her wellness.

But she have no clue about what happened at the Meeting!

She didn’t not know about the f – affair, Nathaniel indulged himself in with his PA, before the meeting!

She didn’t know about the trust, she had laid in Nathainel, when she had spilled everything about her.

She didn’t know about the large bite on Nathaniel’s neck!

She didn’t know about the heartbreak and pain she had gone through, when he played with her emotions!

She didn’t know!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The ride to the Black’s Residence didn’t last long and Vanessa could feel her throat constricting at every step they take towards the beautiful mansion.

Sapphire Jones had avoided Nathaniel Black’s entire dominating presence, which included handling files and forms, via email and with human contact between them limited to, unless it’s important. Very important.

And Vanessa, had ignored every message, every phone call and didn’t dare listen to any of his voicemails. She had given that fudging shoothole, a taste of his own bitter medicine.

But, now him being, what looked like 20 steps away, she could feel her mind fogging with insecurities.

What if Cathy was here? As his date?

She could feel her heart hammering against her ribcage at the dirty possibilities linked with it and she took a deep breath to keep her emotions at bay.

He is a playboy, Vanessa.

A man, who is so used to using the women as tissue papers, that she forget that she would just be another tissue paper for him, to be used and thrown away, to only pick up the next.

The Survin’s stopped short on the porch of the house and her mother pressed the bell and waited. Vanessa could hear the commotion from the other side of the door, the footsteps and then, the click of the lock and almost immediately, her eyes locked with the sparkling greys peering at her, from over her parents’ shoulders.

“Vanessa baby.” Lisa Black pushed her parents’ out of her way, without any single thought, and pulled her in a motherly hug.

“It’s been so long since you come here. Don’t you miss your poor auntie enough, to give her a visit?” Lisa pulled her through the main door, once again paying no attention to her parents and Vanessa giggled at the look of annoyance on her parents’ faces.

“I do, aunt Lisa. I promise to visit you more often.” Vanessa assured her with a smile and Lisa gave her forehead a small peck.

“Still the same sweet bumblebee. My little baby.”

“She is not a baby anymore, Lisa.” The very familiar voice spoke up from behind her and Vanessa’s eyes peered at her uncle from over her aunt’s shoulder.

He gave her a sweet smile, before giving his wife a look of annoyance, “…..  and you do know, you left two of our guests outside.”

“Oh. They’ll let themselves in,” Lisa waved her hand as if it’s no big deal and motioned Vanessa towards the stairs. “until then I’ll give Vanessa the tour of our house. Yes?”

Vanessa looked at him over her shoulder for confirmation, before nodding at her excited aunt.

“Lead the way Aunt Lisa.”

“Good. Good. First I’ll show you the gallery, then the game room, then we’ll see the gym, the game room and then your favourite place, the library, then I’ll show you the room your uncle has specially designed for you for, when you stay over with us and then there is indoor pool and….”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~

Vanessa was exhausted. Absolutely exhausted and they had yet to see the room, her uncle had designed for her and several others her aunt has mentioned. She was really having a hard time coping with the double storey mansion, which did not include the ground floor, in those high ‘touch-the-bloody-sky’ sparkling heels.

Really. She had to take training from her aunt, on how to stand upright on her feet, after covering almost a whole floor and yet, have the energy to keep up for the second.

“Can we…. can we take a break?” Vanessa asked, after she managed to stumble on her feet twice and her aunt looked over her, before nodding.

Praise the lord.

“Yes, after I show you, your room.”

Bloody hell.

Finally, after nearly tripping over the first stair and regaining her balance, she managed to follow her aunt up, towards the second floor.

Her aunt stepped into the second corridor, opposite to the corridor of the master bedroom and stopped at the second last door of the corridor, just before the main bedroom at the end of the corridor.

“….. and here it is.”

Lisa pushed the door open and Vanessa froze instantly, first at the sight of the scantically dressed lady in the cute bed, specified for her and second at the sight of the fully dressed Nathaniel Black, staring at the half naked lady with burning rage.
