Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (electronic reader txt) 📖

"Now, you wash the dishes" I said as we finished eating.

"What?" he said

"Don't tell me you don't know how to it too?" I asked him and he pouted not saying anything. Confirmed. This guy doesn’t know anything.

"Tss, spoiled." I tease him as I go to the sink and do it.

"Hey. I am not spoiled. I can learn that. Hmmp" he protested.

"Are you going to stay here. We're leaving. Deus is going to work and I'm coming with him" I informed him.

"I'm leaving too. I'm going home and sleep"

After I wash the dishes, I quickly take a bath and wore a polished white blazer, black tank top, and chic black sandals. I put my phone and other essential things to my Louis Vuitton Palm Spring Mini Backpack. I'm ready to go. I sit in the mattress and play in my phone while waiting for Deus.

"Baby, come on" I look up at Deus who is wearing casual navy and white crew-neck sweater and blue jeans. A trendy pair of sneakers is an effortless way to punch up his look. Oh, he looks really different with casual clothes compare to his formal suits. Whatever he wears he still looks handsome.

We get into his car. Before he starts driving, he handed me something. I look at it and it's my four-leaf clover ring. I look at him wondering why he has this.

"Wear that and never remove it." he ordered me and start driving.

"How did you get this?" I asked him. I remember leaving it with my school bag before we went to the island. I look at the ring and it looks really the same with the one I left in Ali's car.

" I gave you that ring in the hospital. It's a tracking device. Tres tracked you down when you runaway and he found that but not you. Wear it for your safety." I wear it and it really fits perfectly on my ring finger.

"It's from you?" I asked surprised. "But why?" I look to him confused.

"Long story. I'll tell you one of these days. For now, promise me that you won't remove that." he seriously said.

"You said it's for safety right? Am I in danger?"

"I have a lot of enemies in the business. We need to be sure that you are always safe. The world knows how much you mean to me and they can use you against me." he explained and I somehow feel afraid for myself and for him.

"Really? but I am already spending months with you and I feel normal. I never been harmed or feel any threats." I try to recall my life few months ago and I think everything is still the same. No signs of harm at all. Me and Ali are still doing the same thing we used to do. We still walk in the streets to go to a coffee shop after school. We still shop in the malls like a normal people. The only difference is that Kaiden is always with us.

"It's because my men are always with you. You always have bodyguards around; you just didn't notice them. And that Alison is also being guarded secretly." What? I am shocked with his revelations.

"Eh? I never feel like someone is following me. Wow" I exclaimed surprised.

"They are my well trained and my most trusted men. You are attacked a lot of times but they never failed to protect you" I suddenly feel goosebumps. I am attacked a lot of times? Oh my gosh!

"I think I should be more careful now." I gulped in nervousness. I didn't know being in a relationship with a billionaire is this complicated and risky.

"Yeah, I received a lot death threats from someone a last few days. They wanted to kill me. I suspected Sasha my secretary to be involved in that. A lot of important files in the office are also missing. That's the reason why I am not coming home. I want you safe. If someone attacked me it's better that I am not with you. I also stayed in the office to take care of something very important." my blood boil with the mention of her secretary. But I feel more afraid for his life. I didn't know he's going through something like this.

"Oh my gosh Deus. Did you repost it to the police?" I asked worried.

"Yeah, the sender of the threats is already behind bars. I am just waiting for her to point at Sasha as an ally."

"I really want to punch that Sasha in the face. She's causing a lot of trouble" I said feeling irritated with that bitch.

"She's not worth a scratch on your hand babe. Don't worry I will make her suffer." his grip on the steering wheel tighten. He's something to be afraid of when he's mad.

We arrived at the office and I ready myself to face the bitch. She needs to know now that Deus is mine. Deus is holding my hand as we walked inside the building. Everyone is looking at us specially on our hands that are intertwined together. Some have jealousy on their eyes.

"Walk a little slower" I said to Deus because he is making such long strides leaving me behind but since we are holding hands, I am being pushed to take two steps for his one step.

"Sorry babe" he walks slower now adjusting for me. On the Elevator I think of something fun to do.

"Babe, I'm tired" I said to Deus and he look at me and mess up my hair.

"You need to exercise and improve your respiratory and cardio. When I got free time, I will take you to a run." He said and I frowned. I hate exercising.
