“It is indeed a privilege to share a moment with you in your private jet, the world richest man,” Sarah stared around the exquisite interior of my jet and couldn’t stop blushing at my dull, fallen countenance. She raised her flute of wine and mumbled, “Cheers.” Her gaze was still locked at me. “You don’t seem to be happy after a moment with your fan.”
I forced a smile as I kept rehearsing how to bring about my vengeance on her. If only Sarah would know that this Croesus smiling at her was planning her downfall, she wouldn’t dare get acquainted with me . But as for vengeance on her, my mind was made up and there was no stopping me now. I raised a flute, poured a fresh wine and gave her a flute,
“Tell me about your rising. You don’t seem as one that has ever suffered. But some hours ago after chilling with your fan you made a comment which sounded as though you have been a broke ass…” she queried yet further, “May I know about the man in my life.”
I kept at my smile and gazed down at my wine, “Sarah I was born in wealth. I have never experienced poverty.” I lied just to conceal my vengeance and strike at the right time.
“Hmmm,” she hummed and crossed her legs, “You are just like me.” she stirred her wine and had a sip, “You know, I never knew some day , I would be sourcing for one trillion dollars just to save my father’s company from bankruptcy ,…” she sniffed and her countenance fell so hugely that one could tell from her watery eyes she was going to break down in tears.
I grinned hugely and managed to say, “Perk up dear. As you are staring at me now you are seeing not just your one trillion dollars but also the solution to all your problems.” I shot an engaging smile at her, “I am the world richest man. You can’t have me and be wary. No more poverty. Be rest assured there will forever be riches in your family…”
She wiped her tears with the handkerchief, “Thank you so much Mike Don. I can’t thank you enough for putting greatness on my shoulders when all hope was lost. My ex-boyfriend was one crazy lover that wanted us to go down the abyss with him…” she stuttered and managed to say, “Do you know that the ministry visited my father at the hospital and served him a one-week reminder of our debt and failure to pay up my father would face the law?” she widened her gaze at me while she spoke yet further, “I wouldn’t want these riff raffs to show their ugly faces in our lives again. I just want to pay off the one trillion dollars and be free.” She sounded and indirectly urged me to provide the money as soon as possible.
I gave a confirmatory nod, “Come on, perk up.” I watched as she drank up her wine and then let a sudden frown on her face when she could feel a metallic substance in her mouth.
Her chin remained inflated as she stared at me suspiciously, spewed out the wine in her mouth into the cup and then a diamond engagement ring caught her sight before she gagged her mouth in shock.
Quickly I went down on my knees, raised my hands in pleas and said coldly, “Will you marry me? Will you be the mother of my unborn child? Will you be the angel I will spend all this money on?” I demanded.
Sarah still had her mouth gagged and the tears surging down on her cheeks had increased beyond normal now. She was dumbfounded as she was star struck. With unfathomable happiness hanging over her, she pushed out her finger impatiently for the engagement. “Yes! Yes!” she replied firmly and kept sobbing in joy.
I took the diamond ring and slid it on her finger before she sprang to her feet and hugged me.
“Your vengeance approaches,” I said in my head while we hugged for a time that seemed eternal.
Sarah couldn’t let go of me. She was all over me, yet still in tears over my intention to make her my wife. She kept appreciating my bold move and when she thought that was enough I sounded very audibly, “About your one trillion dollars.”
She kept mute, brightened up, wiped her tears and sat down on her chair. She snorted and shut an anxious look at me, “Yeah, yeah, what about it?” she queried, “Do you want to give me a credit card or do me a transfer?” impatience clouded her tone and countenance.
“Yes of course, I am going to do just that but before I proceed with my part you are going to play your part.” She barely blinked her eyes as she paid rapt attention, “Sarah I have your money,” I slid out a credit card and flashed at her, “But it is not complete. It is just remaining the balance of one million dollars to complete it. But you are going to provide it and as soon as you provide it you must send it to me so I can add it up and send you the complete one trillion dollars.” I raised the credit card. “it is just one million dollars.” I shrugged.
She wailed, “But Mike , how do I provide one million dollars. I thought I told you we are broke. The Canon Group is faced…”
Quickly I interrupted her and added, “….with bankruptcy. I know about that. But I am going to teach you how to provide one million dollars in few days.”
“How? Come on go ahead. I am open to learning new ideas,” she sounded and swallowed hard, expecting some strange ideas about making money.
I shrugged and sounded, “Very simple. You just have to sell your father’s mansion and the cars for one million dollars and then I will give you the balance. You don’t have to bother about potential buyers. I will get you a buyer.” All the while I spoke, Sarah had been shaking her head in disagreement
She protested, “My father warned me against selling the mansion and the cars. I…I am just lost now and indecisive.
I adjusted forward, “You don’t have to be indecisive. I can always buy you a mansion and exotic cars. But for now you must do as I said, “I caught her finger and the ring caught our sight at once.
Finally she gave a firm nod of agreement, “Okay for our sake, I will do it.”
Hot vengeance was about to be served!
