Billionaire's Love novel Chapter 18

Alissa

When we reached back to our company, neither he made an effort to talk to me neither I tried to make an effort to get his attention or to talk to him. The rest of the day went in blur. When I reached home, I saw Jade roaming here and there in the house. The house was looking a bit messy. The only thing which was looking clean was the dinning table. Jade has her own room still she is pacing around mine. There are only few moments when we both sleep together.

The last time which I remember I slept with her was the night before I got the news of that I got my job. She is looking like she is searching for something. I did not make an effort to ask her what was the thing she was looking for cause she will not answer me until she will completely loose the hope of getting it. I suddenly started to think about how Eric behave sometimes. He gets possessive or sometimes he becomes like he hates me and suddenly become a caring person. He looks handsome, he has got a nice personality but he is just a playboy and for him it is as much easy to get a girl as much it is to throw a mug of coffee on the ground.

Jade was huffing, and sweat could be clearly seen on her forehead. She sat beside me and groaned in annoyance. I looked at her, a frown was visible on her forehead. I thought to ask her now what was it that she was looking for.

"Hey Jade, what happened, what are you looking for?" I asked.

"It was a necklace, with a heart on it. I had the photo of me and you inside of it and I cannot find it" She cried out.

"I can help you in finding it" I said.

"Really?" She asked.

I nodded and she gave me a huge smile.

"Have you checked in your room?" I asked knowing how careless she is.

She nodded. I stood up and went to her room and searched everywhere. I went to my room and Jade also thought to help me. Our rooms our quite big and nice. Cause our cruel aunt was rich so our house also have a modern look. Although it is medium sized but it is still good. I looked at the corners of the bed that suddenly I heard Jade's voice.

"What is this?" She was holding a black box. My eyes widened. Cold sweat formed on my face. I saw that the cupboard of the almirah was opened. I ran towards her and took the box away from her. She looked like she was sad that I took the box away. I tried to act normal and calm myself down.

"T-This is j-just a bo-o-x" I said stuttering.

"I also know that this is a box" She said as a matter of fact.

"But what is inside of it?" Jade asked, out of curiosity. I just shook my head and said

"This is just something. You have to find your necklace right? Concentrate on that" I said and she rolled her eyes and started searching for it. After almost an hour we found it. It was in the washroom, in the towel. Probably it must have stuck on it when she was using it. We ate our breakfast and Jade went to sleep.

I went into my room. I glanced at that box. Again....Cold sweat started to drop out of my face. Those horrible memories. Which I have hidden from everyone. A dark past, which have to stay inside that box.
