THE HOMELESS BILLIONAIRE Chapter 18
1240 words (s) Published 20 JASAMINA I can't stop looking at him. This filthy looking man has been my savior times without a number. This man keeps more secrets than a priest. I wonder what his story is. He doesn't believe in God because his lips turned down when I mentioned Him. What happened to him? How can a drunkard always take care of me in times of need? How did he get the money for the drugs and food? The house that he gave me before, how did he come by it? Why is he such a homeless man now that only cares about drinks? I wish there was a way I can help him the way he helped me. "Where have you been all this while?" I asked, really curious. I spared Jaimie a glance to make sure he is still sleeping fine. "Just here and there." He evaded. He really keeps more secrets than any other person I've ever known. "How have you been? Can't you tell me anything about yourself?" I asked softly. "It's better if you don't know." He stated matter-of-factly. "Why were you out in th

I walked to the front desk and met an old man seated there looking old and calm. "Good day, sir," I spoke, my voice hard but clear. "Good day, how may I help you?" The old man asked I brought out a card and waved to his face. "I'm an investigator. I wanted to ask about your former worker, Jasamina Mccully." I stated firmly. Blank. His old face turned blank. "I don't know anyone by that name." "But she worked for you." "Mina worked for me with her little girl, Mia." He stated curtly, his voice strong and angry for an old man. "That girl doesn't deserve to be hunted like an animal, so you and everyone like you can go get yourself another job instead of hunting an innocent girl!" His word shocked me to my toes. I was momentarily speechless. "If you'd excuse me I've got work to do.

She asked in the most desperate tone I've ever heard I've met a lot of desperate people. Stupid. "It depends. What do you know?" I asked curtly. "The woman you're looking for, she was here but she left. I called the police they didn't arrive on time." She said sulkily. "They didn't arrive or time or you were too stupid to keep everything covert." She glared at me, but quickly stopped, her eyes flashing with fear. She knows to be afraid. "It's not my fault!" She shouted. "You read books, right? That's why you go to the bookstore. Don't you see how they report people instead you made it so obvious all because of money? You could've gotten it but now you'll get nothing." "But I provided information!." "The woman isn't her, is she? Until she is found and taken back to her husband, you get nothing." I stated impatiently.

1236 word(s) Published 23 🎁🎁🎁JASAMINA🎁🎁🎁 I woke up later, my head still on Tanner's shoulder. I swiveled my head to see him holding Jaimie. My son was smiling up at the man. "I had to take him or he would have fallen from your hand while you slept." He said to me without taking his eyes away from the baby. I thanked him most fervently but he shrugged it off, as usual, his face expressionless. Typical him. Always hiding in the cloak of keeping to himself. Addicted to emitting only a few sentences only when he felt he needed to talk. I find myself learning to cope with that. After being married to a man like Dale, I learned to survive anything and adapt to any environment. He's always strangely there for my baby and me. Always at the nick of time whenever I needed help desperately. I've never felt so safe with anyone. But this filthy-looking drunkard gave me a new leap of hope. Ironically, he gave me almost all of it. Contradicting his never evading and off-drunken natur

1264 word(s) Published 24 🎁🎁🎁JASAMINA🎁🎁🎁 "Is anything the problem?" Tanner asked me with his eyes closed and his head resting on the upper part of the sofa. "Nothing really," I said sincerely. I just put Jaimie to bed and came to sit down with him. "Go and try to get some sleep. You still need to recuperate well..." He trailed off. He didn't finish the sentence but he didn't have to. I need to recuperate well so that he'll be on his way again. I nodded and got up from the sofa. But inside of going back to bed, I went outside. I just felt I needed to feel the cool air on my skin and also some time alone. I sat at the stairs outside, staring at the sky, listening to the chirping of birds and insects, the rustling of leaves, the barely audible sounds of the wind talking and the way the breeze hovered around the environment, its soothing effect piercing through my skin. My mind instantly took a drift back to my marriage. People call it 'Marriage' to sugarcoat it. It should

1092 words (s) Published 25 She is a thief. For taking away the child from his loving father. A lunatic. For having the guts to run away from her matrimonial home. And also a cheat. For having eloped with a man. Fuck. My anger and disgust for her doubled. She wasn't even shameless to run off with a man. Not considering the fact that her dear husband would be searching frantically for her. The thought tugged on my nerves, making me more determined to catch her and take her back. People like her are the lowest kind of scum. It tugged on my chest, how her poor husband would probably be swimming in anger, frustration, and depression. Waking up one morning and finding out that his wife whom he loved so much had run away with their only child. I moved away from the entrance and strode forward, my purpose solidified. For the sake of that innocent child, I've taken this mission personally. And I'll find her in a few days. Such lunatic. I'll find her, gag her to make sure I don't hea

1392 word(s) Published 26 LUDALE MCCULLY. Finally. After hours and weeks of waiting. The bounty hunter finally had something to say to him. "Hello. Any news on my wife?" He began curtly, trying to calm down his anger to be able to talk to the bounty hunter efficiently. He was a little afraid of the bounty hunter. His physical appearance is very intimidating and also his line of work is very dangerous. He was one hell of a fearless man for him to sniff out people from their hiding places. All kinds of people. "I trailed her to Texas. Got information from few credible sources that she had taken the early morning train some days back to Texas." Ludale's eyes widened as he asked incredulously. "How in the world did she get to Texas? I mean, who gave her money to go to Texas? How does she even know the route to Texas?" He heard a scoff as sarcasm laced in his taut reply. "I guess you didn't know that your dear wife had a lover who took her to a motel and right now, they are nowher

1012 word(s) Published 27 🎁🎁🎁JASAMINA🎁🎁🎁 Today is such a bright day. The wind blew around the house, and the beautiful smell of the cottage filled the air. The best scent is the flowers I planted in every part of the house. Smells like home. Feels like home. I don't know why I feel so fulfilled, maybe because I'm hale and hearty. All my bruises are gone, and the scars are fading. Jaimie is bouncing happily, playing, and laughing. Nothing gives me joy more than seeing him grow rapidly. I went around the house doing the cleaning, and at a point, I wondered if Tanner is still asleep. I've not seen him all morning. I cleaned the sitting room and entered the kitchen. What are we going to eat for breakfast? Wait a minute! I just realize something. I haven't cooked real food ever since he took me in. All we ever eat is bought by Tanner each time he goes out. Oh, I've been so ungrateful. Well, today I'm gonna make sure I prepare a good meal. I might have been married to a rich
