Billionaire’s Great Obsession

Brianna woke up to find herself lying in a room with white walls and the noticeable scent of disinfectant. She moved her hands and felt something flurry. Startled, she turned aside to see Scott sitting by the bed, his head resting on the duvet, asleep with a frown between his brows.

The morning sunlight shone through the big window and spread upon his most charming face. He looked tired and worried, even in his sleep.

Didn’t he humiliate me, insult me and ask me to fuck off? What is he doing here then? Brianna thought and retreated her hand. Yet as she moved, though just slightly, she felt a sharp pain all over her body, especially her head. She let out a stifled scream of pain.

Scott woke up, rubbed his temples a bit, and said, “It looks like you do want to live. I thought you wanted to end your life then.”

“Why would I want to end my life?”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Why the hell did you throw yourself down the stairs then?”

Brianna rolled her eyes and heaved a sigh. “Lucia pushed me.”

“She would never do that.”

Even if he believes me, he won’t do anything about it anyway. It’s obvious that he cares about her. Brianna thought. But she will only make things difficult for me. She obviously wants to be with Scott, and God knows what else she will do to make me leave him.

I have to please him and have him trust me first, then I will think about how to deal with that girl. Brianna decided.

“I didn’t go home the night before only because I didn’t want to spoil your night with Lucia. I was being thoughtful, but you obviously did not appreciate it, and even though I cheated on you.” Brianna explained, looking at Scott pitifully.

Scott knitted his brows. “My night with Lucia? What the hell are you talking about?”

“You know what I mean.”

“She’s just a younger sister to me. What’s in your dirty mind?”

“Younger sister? I thought your younger sister is called Maryanne, and she’s studying and living abroad.”

“That’s just a biological sister. Lucia means more to me than her.” Scott said plainly.

Brianna wanted to ask how important Lucia was to Scott and how they met and why he saw her as a younger sister. Who am I to ask? She thought. But Lucia certainly does not see Scott as her older brother. She wants to possess him as his lover.

Just then, there came a knock at the door and in came Levi and Lucia with a bunch of flowers.

Brianna saw the malicious look in Lucia’s eyes, and she knew for certain that Lucia would do anything to her to be with Scott.

However, the malicious look was very soon replaced by a pretentious sweet smile. Lucia handed Brianna the flowers and said gently, “I’m so sorry I couldn’t help. You just fell over, and it all happened so suddenly. Hope the flowers will make you feel better.”

She moved Scott’s hand away, the hand that was holding Brianna’s, and intended to sit down on the bed between Brianna and Scott. However, Brianna took the flowers and put them down at the spot. Reluctantly, Lucia looked around the room and grabbed a chair to sit next to Scott.

She wanted to hold Scott’s hand, but Scott leaned back in his seat and lit a cigarette. Feeling a bit awkward, she turned to Brianna and said with pretentious gentleness, “Brianna, right? Your name is Brianna?”

Brianna nodded.

“The doctor said you could have been a vegetable, but luckily the fall wasn’t too bad.” Lucia went on.

“Yeah. Very lucky. Thanks for not helping me, by the way, or else I would not have Scott here to look after me all night, and he would probably still be angry with me.” Brianna replied with a confident smile, then looked at Scott and added, “I’m feeling loved and grateful.”

Lucia was, of course, furious, but she couldn’t show her anger while Scott was around.

“Scott, do you still need to go to work?” Brianna asked, sounding more caring than ever. Scott nodded. “Why don’t you go home and have a shower before work? I will be fine. Don’t worry. Thanks for staying here with me all night.” Brianna stroked Scott’s cheek gently.

Scott watched her quietly with an understanding smile, knowing that she was acting.

Lucia clenched her fists angrily, but she said to Scott with a bright smile, “Scott, shall we go then?”

Brianna tried to sit up, but it hurt. With tears in her eyes, she said to Scott pitifully, “Oh, Scott, it hurts so much. Can you please help me sit up?”

Scott cooperated, though he knew that Brianna was just acting to make Lucia jealous. He bent over to give Brianna a hand.

“Won’t you give me a kiss?” Brianna went on as Scott leaned close to her.

“I give you permission to kiss me,” Scott said with a cheeky sneer.

Brianna understood. What a proud one! She thought. Then she put her arms around his neck and pecked a kiss on his lips.

“How magical the kiss is! The pain seems to have gone.” Brianna smiled at him.

Scott chuckled a bit and turned around to leave. He paused at the door, turned around, and asked Lucia, “Are you not coming?”

“I think I have time anyway. I might as well stay to keep Brianna company for a while.” Lucia said.

Scott nodded and left. Levi hesitated for a bit, then followed Scott.

As soon as they were out of sight, Lucia glared at Brianna and barked at her, “Bitch! You are very lucky this time, but you won’t be lucky all the time.”

Brianna shrugged her shoulders and said, “You want to be with Scott, but he only sees you as a younger sister. That must be hard for you. Ha-ha.”

“It’s none of your business.” Lucia snapped.

“Right, but only if you will leave me alone. I don’t want to be pushed off the stairs again.” She is throwing a quick answer to Lucia.
