Taken By The Arrogant Billionaire

Chapter 11



Valerie was discharged on the third day. Luckily, the injury on her face didn’t become a scar.

Sandy came to pick her up. Layla had gone to her actress’s filming location.

She exited the hospital, towards the waiting taxi, when she was suddenly blocked by someone, which made her butt almost hit the ground, but Sandy held her.

She gritted her teeth and her emerald eyes burned with anger, ready to give the person a perfect tongue lashing.

She however stopped short when she realized who it was. Her gaze hardened even more. She kept her guards up.

“What do you want?” She asked, letting go of every ounce of respect.

She was surprised when Sawyer went on his knees.

At this moment, he was no longer as arrogant. He had finally come to his senses.

He had lost everything in one day. The company, his house, everything was long gone. He had never expected that Jared would do all that, just for a woman.

He had gone to Old Smith, sure as hell that Jared would change his mind as long as his grandfather talked to him, but he was mistaken. Very mistaken.

Now, the only thing he wanted to do was beg for forgiveness and hope to be let off the hook.

“Miss Gardner, please forgive me. I won’t hurt you anymore. I’ll definitely avoid you when I see you in the future. Please save me” his hands were clasped. He looked like he was about to cry.

Valerie stared at the man before her, confused. He was almost unrecognizable.

He had shrunk considerably and the colour of his skin was beginning to change. His face was covered in bruises. Long gone was the proud and egoistic president of Sawyer Corporation.

She knew his company folded up, but she didn’t understand why he came to her, asking to save him. She wasn’t the one who bankrupted his company, right?

Sandy stood at the side, watching the drama.

“Save you? I don’t know what you are talking about, so if you will excuse me” She feared that she might do something she didn’t like if she stayed.

He desperately reached for her leg, but she quickly took two steps back. She cursed silently.

People were beginning to stare at them. She licked her lips, embarrassed. God, she hated the attention.

“What do you want?” She bit out.

“Please, speak to President Smith”

Her brows furrowed.

“Why would I do that?”

“He did everything” he said desperately. “He made me lose everything. I didn’t know there was something going on between the both of you, if I had, I would have steered clear”

Valerie looked completely lost.

Her gaze shifted to Sandy, who looked equally surprised.

“Why would you think there’s something between me and my boss”

“Because…”

“You haven’t left yet” They all turned in the direction of the voice.

Will walked towards them.

“Asshole” he cursed as soon as his eyes caught the kneeling man.

He had gotten a call from those who were tasked with secretly looking after Valerie, that a man was harassing her.

The described him, and he immediately knew it was this motherfucker.

He had driven fast to the hospital, or else, the fool will spill the beans.

His face changed to a smiley one when he got to them.

“You should not stay out in this sun. You just got discharged”

Like she didn’t know.

“But-”

“No buts. It’s a direct order from the boss” Valerie nodded reluctantly. She bowed a little and entered the taxi. He kept the smiley mask on till they were out of sight.

His expression changed completely as soon as he faced the still-kneeling Sawyer. It sent shivers down his spine. After what happened, he had realized that this man was just as important.

************

Jared sat at his table, deep in thought. Will had informed him of the situation, but he was in the middle of an critical meeting. He was about to call him when someone knocked on the door.

“Come in”

Will walked in.

“How was it?”

“Miss Gardner has been sent home”

Jared nodded in approval.

“Sawyer?”

“We have him. What do you want us to do, boss?”

“I don’t want to see him anymore”

Will raised a brow.

“You mean…..?”

Was his boss going to kill him. Not like it was the first time, but he felt it was a bit too much.

“I mean, I want him out of the country”

“Okay boss”

************

The drive home was silent until Sandy decided to break the ice.

“That man, is he a business partner?”

Valerie nodded absentmindedly. Why would he think she and her boss were an item? Because he was nice to her? Because he rescued her? Different thoughts were running in her mind.

“Do you think your boss… likes you?” Sandy asked, cautiously.

Valerie chuckled.

“Come on, that is impossible. He has a fiancée and everyone in the country knows that”

Sandy decided to keep quiet after that.

************

A woman covered with a scarf, and had sunglasses on, walked into an almost empty café. She immediately saw the one she was looking for by the window.

A man covered in tattoos was seated, looking out the window.

He immediately stood up when he saw her. He advanced, ready to kiss her, but she stopped him. She saw anger flash in his eyes.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

She quickly looked for an excuse.

“Someone might be watching” she said, and he sat, begrudgingly. She secretly heaved a sigh of relief and sat before him.

“What did you find?”

“There hasn’t been many women around him recently, but I found this one”

He reached for his pocket and brought out an envelope, stretching it out to her.

She accepted it and brought out the contest. They were photographs.

“It’s her?”

“Your fiancé recently employed a personal secretary. A female”

She looked at every one of the pictures. But stopped at a particular one.

“She was hospitalized?”

The man nodded.

“She was discharged few days ago”

Jane’s expression changed drastically.

“Bitch” she muttered.
