The Trillionaire They Taunted

Power Couples

The couple continued staring at the familiar car, thinking that they had seen everything that was enough to upset them.

The vehicle parked right beside them, seeming like the driver had been instructed to do so in an attempt to look for trouble.

“Out of all the spaces. She chose this one.” Pearl tutted, contempt smeared all over her face.

She folded her arms and grumbled, rolling her eyes as she moved them to the backseat of the car.

The driver got down in a hurry and opened the door, and just as they had predicted, it was truly Arya Kirk.

She instantly stole the attention from Pearl, the lenses of the cameras turning to her at once.

The trail of her red gown followed her like burning flames, her feet stepping forward as though she owned the place.

She was both fire and ice, burning and freezing when she needed to.

Her beauty caused men to gasp, even the ladies were envious of her pulchritude.

Everyone had something to say, untired of singing her praises.

“She is definitely the most beautiful woman in this City!” Someone said from the crowd, and it was as if the person’s intention was to make sure that Pearl every word.

She grunted, gnashing her teeth in annoyance.

Arya was headed their way, holding onto her captivating and confident smile.

“Hello, Pearl…” She waved at the couple, and then she sighed heavily.

Pearl scowled at her, and then she bit her lower lips as though it were solution for the anger that pounded inside her tight chest.

“I didn’t know that Grandpa finally allowed you represent Link Tech. I thought your brother was his prodigy.” Her plan was to subdue Arya’s confidence, but it failed.

Arya chuckled softly, and then she nodded with a wry smile.

“Well…” She cleared her throat, and then glanced at Romeo before she continued.

“I have been the one working tirelessly to put my company in the list of the top ten establishments in Lakeville. My Grandpa knows that I deserve the honor.”

Huff! Pearl rolled her eyes and hissed loud enough to express her palpable resentment.

“Have I introduced you both to my husband?” Arya asked, causing Pearl to blink until she could no longer move her eyelids.

“You are married?!” She asked with wide eyes, her mouth refusing to shut.

“Of course!” Arya nodded, followed by a soft chuckle.

“Not everyone of us likes to frolic about with our husbands’ bosses…”

“Ex-husband!” Pearl corrected at once, growling at her.

“If that makes you feel better…” Arya sniggered, and then she looked back.

“Sweetie?! Could you please come say hello to these… fellows.” She looked at the couple with disdain in her eyes, but they seemed to be more interested to know who the husband was.

Even the press wanted to find out, each camera moving ahead of the others with fingers fastened to the buttons while their lenses were pointed toward the car.

For over ten seconds, no one showed up, and some people were beginning to think it was a prank.

“Where is the husband?!” Pearl asked, impatiently rolling her eyes.

“I think you are lying, Arya! You are just a bloody liar!”

“Am I?” Arya scoffed, still holding onto her wry smile.

The next second, the door to the Lamborghini opened, and everyone who had taken off their eyes returned them at once.

As soon as Brian stepped out of the vehicle, cameras began to take pictures of him, even some of the media agents pushed their microphones to him, begging for even a word.

Pearl’s expression fell, Romeo’s countenance dropped drastically.

They stared in disbelief, but the real shock was still coming.

Neither of them was still able to recognize the handsome man in a brown tuxedo and well-polished black shoes, not even as he was marching toward them.

Brian pecked Arya on the right cheek, causing Pearl to look away at once.

But she gasped as soon as she returned her gaze to take a second look at the supposed husband.

“You…!” She pointed, eyes bulging like they were about to crawl out of their sockets.

“Brian? Is that you?” Romeo pushed forward, looking Brian from the crown of his head down to the sole of his shoes.

“You… you’ve changed.” He remarked until he saw the annoyance in Pearl’s eyes.

He cleared his throat, replacing his expression with disdain.

“It doesn’t matter if you have gotten yourself cleaned up. An underdog is always going to be an underdog.”

Brian chuckled softly, and then he took a deep breath.

“I see you two are here to get yourselves embarrassed. Do you really think that you stand a chance at getting awarded the contract?”

“Yes! Of course!” Romeo gave a quick response, nodding at the same time as Pearl.

“Romeo knows the Manager of Prime Tech. they are childhood buddies, and he has promised him an undeniable spot.”

“Sure…” Brian scoffed, smirking at Pearl.

“What are you doing here?” Pearl broke the silence, snapping at him.

“She just introduced you as her husband.” She pointed to Arya, and then she rolled her eyes at her again.

“Yes. We are married.” Arya responded by showing her the diamond ring, leaving her dumbfounded.

Romeo snorted after a few seconds of staring at the glittering stone.

“That’s fake diamond.” He insisted, even when he knew he was lying.

“How can you get married to him? Do you realize that he is someone else’s husband? He is still married to Pearl here. Technically, until he agrees to sign the divorce paper.”

Brian sniggered, silencing his former boss at once.

Slowly, he lifted his face, and then he looked Romeo in the eyes.

“I still have no intention of granting Pearl her freedom, Romeo. Who says I can’t be married to two women at the same time?”
