LOVESTRUCK WITH A BILLIONAIRE - CHAPTER 3&4
Xavier groaned, still clutching his groin in agony. Rowan rushed to his side, through the already crowded people who has already gathered ,some where taking photos and videos of him the news is flying already and Xavier can’t help but clenched his fist in anger,he had never thought any girl could do such to him.” He can’t explain how embarrassed he is feeling.
“Dude, what happened?” Rowan asked, concern etched on his face.
Xavier glared at Emily’s retreating back. “That crazy woman happened,” he growled. “She thinks I’m some kind of pervert.”
Rowan’s eyes widened as he took in the scene. “Whoa, Xavier, you’re actually hurt. Let’s get you out of here.”
Xavier nodded, still seething with anger. “I need a drink, and I need it now.”
As they made their way to the bar, Emily and Tessa were dancing and laughing together, oblivious to the commotion Emily had caused.
“Emily seems like you’re praying for a death wish , do you know who he is??he is Waylon Xavier!! Tessa said her voice Loud above the music .
” I don’t care to know who he is,am gonna ki|| him first,how dare he swat my @zz,! Emily said and scoff.
Xavier’s eyes never left Emily’s face. He was determined to make her pay for what she had done.
Meanwhile, Tessa was grinning mischievously at Emily. “Girl, you’re a total rockstar! I’ve never seen anyone take down Xavier Waylon like that.”
Emily chuckled, feeling a sense of satisfaction. “He had it coming.”
Xavier sipped his drink, his eyes fixed on Emily as she danced with abandon. He couldn’t believe she had humiliated him like that in public.
Rowan followed his gaze. “Dude, let it go. She’s not worth it.”
But Xavier’s mind was made up. “I need to teach her a lesson,” he said, his voice cold and calculating.
Rowan raised an eyebrow. “Xavier, don’t do something you’ll regret.”
But Xavier was beyond reason. He signaled to one of his security guards, who nodded discreetly and moved towards Emily.
Tessa noticed first, her eyes narrowing as the guard approached. “Emily, we need to go,” she said urgently.
But Emily was too caught up in the music to notice. The guard tapped her shoulder, his expression firm. “You need to come with me,” he said.
Emily spun around, her eyes flashing with anger. “Who do you think you are?”
The guard smiled blandly. “Someone who’s going to make you apologize to Mr. Waylon.”
Emily’s eyes widened as she realized who was behind this. “Xavier Waylon can go to hell,” she spat.
But the guard was unmoved. He grasped her arm, pulling her off the dance floor.
Tessa tried to intervene, but Xavier’s security team was too strong. They dragged Emily away, leaving Tessa to watch in horror.
Emily struggled against the guard’s grip, but he was too strong. He dragged her through the crowded club, ignoring her protests.
Xavier was waiting for her, his eyes glinting with triumph. “So, you think you can humiliate me and get away with it?” he sneered.
Emily spat in his face. “I’d do it again in a heartbeat.”
Xavier’s expression turned icy. “We’ll see about that.”
He nodded to the guard, who pulled Emily into a private room. Xavier followed, his eyes never leaving hers.
“You’re going to apologize, and you’re going to do it publicly,” he said, his voice dripping with malice.
Emily laughed. “You’ll have to force me.”
Xavier smiled. “Oh, I will.”
He pulled out his phone and dialed a number. “Get the press here, now,” he barked.
Emily’s eyes widened as she realized his plan. He was going to make her apologize in front of the entire world.
But she refused to back down. “I’ll never apologize to you,” she spat.
Xavier’s eyes flashed with anger. “We’ll see about that.”
The door opened, and a swarm of reporters flooded in. Xavier grabbed Emily’s arm, pulling her in front of the cameras.
“Tell them,” he hissed.
Emily smiled sweetly. “I’d rather die.”
And with that, she kicked Xavier in the groin again, and the room erupted into chaos.
The reporters gasped in shock as Emily’s kick connected with Xavier’s groin. He doubled over, his face contorted in agony.
“You crazy woman!” he yelled, his voice hoarse with pain.
Emily smiled sweetly. “I told you I’d never apologize to you.”
The room erupted into chaos as the reporters scrambled to get a shot of the drama unfolding before them. Tessa pushed her way through the crowd, her eyes blazing with anger.
“Let her go, Xavier!” she yelled.
But Xavier’s security team was too strong. They dragged Emily out of the room, with Xavier limping behind them.
“You’re going to pay for this,” he snarled.
Emily just laughed. “I’m shaking in my boots.”
As they reached the exit, Emily saw her chance. She broke free from the guards and made a run for it, disappearing into the crowded streets of New York City.
Xavier’s face turned purple with rage. “Find her!” he bellowed.
But Emily was gone, vanished into the night.
And Xavier was left to nurse his wounded ego – and his groin.hahaha!
Emily ran as fast as she could, her heart pounding in her chest. She didn’t dare look back, fearing what she might see.
Finally, she reached Tessa’s car and dove in, gasping for breath. Tessa was already there, the engine revving.
“Go, go, go!” Emily yelled.
Tessa sped away from the curb, leaving Xavier and his goons in the dust.
“Where to?” Tessa asked, her eyes gleaming with excitement.
“Anywhere but here,” Emily replied, her eyes scanning the rearview mirror.
They drove for hours, finally stopping at a small motel on the outskirts of town.
As they checked in, Emily’s phone buzzed. She hesitated, then answered.
“You’ll never win,” Xavier’s voice sneered.
Emily smiled. “I already have.”
She hung up, her heart still racing.
But she knew she couldn’t hide forever.
Xavier would find her, and next time, she might not be so lucky.
As she drifted off to sleep, Emily knew she had to come up with a plan.
She couldn’t let Xavier win.
But for now, she just slept, exhausted.
<★★ AT XAVIER’S RESIDENCE★ ★>
Xavier tightened his grip on his phone Immediately Emily drop the call.
Who the f-__-k is she ??? Xavier growled and trow his phone across the room.
He ruff handle his hair and sigh, how can one person make me go this crazy, he muttered.
I will make you pay no matter what, he said and light knock came on his door.
Dad!!! Are you in ?? Sophie’s voice sprang out as he gulp down.
Xavier took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. He didn’t want his daughter to see him like this. “Yeah, I’m in, Sophie. Come in,” he said, trying to sound calm.
Sophie opened the door and walked in, looking concerned. “Dad, what’s wrong? You look upset.”You didn’t even come to check on me when you returned, what’s wrong?? Is there anything you wanna fix out with me?? Sophie ask with a concern look.
Xavier forced a smile. “I’m fine, sweetie. Just a little stressed with work.”
Sophie looked skeptical. “Okay, if you’re sure… Can I talk to you about something?”
Xavier nodded, grateful for the distraction. “Of course, what’s up?”
Sophie took a deep breath. “It’s about school. I’ve been having some trouble with my math teacher, Mrs. Johnson. She’s really tough and I’m struggling to keep up.”
Xavier’s expression softened. “Ah, Sophie, I’m sorry to hear that. What’s going on with Mrs. Johnson?”
Sophie sighed. “She just doesn’t explain things well, and when I ask for help, she gets annoyed. I’m starting to fall behind, and I’m worried I’ll fail the class.”
Xavier’s mind shifted from Emily to his daughter’s concerns. “Okay, we’ll figure this out. Have you talked to your guidance counselor about switching teachers?”
Sophie shook her head. “No, I didn’t want to bother you with it.”
Xavier smiled. “You’re not bothering me, Sophie. I’m your dad. Let’s go talk to the guidance counselor together tomorrow ,okay?”
Sophie smiled back, looking relieved. “Thanks, Dad.”
As they hugged, Xavier’s phone caught his eye, still lying on the floor where he had thrown it. He frowned, remembering Emily’s call. But for now, he pushed the thought aside and focused on supporting his daughter.

< AT THE MOTEL> NEXT MORNING>
Tessa’s ringing phone jolted her out of sleep, prompting a groan as she scratched her eyelids before creaking her eyes open. But what really shocked her was the fact that it was already dawn.” She has a job interview to attend!!
f-__-k she curse and rubbed her eyes again, trying to shake off the remnants of sleep. She glared at her phone, wondering who could be calling . The ringing persisted, piercing the quiet morning air, and Tessa reluctantly reached over to answer it, her voice husky with sleep.
📞 “Hello?” she croaked, still trying to shake off the haze of slumber.
📞”Hey Tessa, don’t tell me you’re still in bed!” her mom’s voice sprang out, full of energy.
📞”Gush, mom, what do you want?” Tessa groaned, rolling her eyes.
📞”You got a blind date tonight, sweetie!” her mom exclaimed, but Tessa cut her off.
📞”Blind date! Blind date! I’m tired, mom,” Tessa protested, her voice laced with frustration. “Tessa had lost count of how many blind dates her mom had set her up on. There was the guy who only talked about himself, the one who wore a bright orange jumpsuit, and the one who seemed more interested in the menu than in her. Each date had been a disaster, and Tessa was starting to lose hope, but her mom won’t stop pestering her to get married.
📞”Mom, I don’t know how much more of this I can take,” Tessa said, exasperated, after the latest failed date.
📞Her mom chuckled. “Just one more, sweetie, I promise! This one is different. You’ll see.”
📞Tessa raised an eyebrow. “Different? That’s what you said about the last three guys.”
📞Her mom smiled. “I know, but trust me, this one is special. His name is… well, I’m not telling you yet. Just be ready at 7 pm .
Tessa sighed, wondering what she was getting herself into this time.
📞. okay mom, Tessa said and toss her phone aside.
I have an interview and I don’t feel like going to that blind that, Tessa said and an idea pop on her head.
Yes!! She muttered and turn over to Emily who was still snoring her @zz out.
Emily;! Emily!! Tessa called shaking her to wake .
Emily woke up to Tessa’s gentle shaking. “Em, we need to talk.”
Emily rubbed her eyes, still feeling the exhaustion. “What’s up?”
Tessa’s expression was serious. “My mom called. She’s still insisting I go on another blind date.”
Emily’s eyes widened. “No way. You can’t let her set you up with someone after what happened the last time. Emily said.
Tessa nodded. “I know, but she’s relentless. And then I had an idea.”
Emily raised an eyebrow. “What kind of idea?”
Tessa grinned mischievously. “We’ll let her think you’re me, and you’ll go on the date instead.”
Emily’s eyes widened in horror. “No way. That’s a terrible idea.”
But Tessa was insistent. “Come on, Em. It’ll be fun. And who knows, maybe you’ll even have a good time.”
Emily hesitated, then shrugged. “Fine. But if I get bored, I’m leaving.”
And that’s when the plan was set in motion. Emily would go on the blind date, pretending to be Tessa.
We will be heading to my place now , Tessa said as Emily chuckle lightly remembering last night.
I can’t believe we haven’t gotten home since last night, Emily said and crawled out of bed.
It’s so crazy , do you know I have an interview by 10 am and this is almost nine already , Tessa said as Emily chuckle.
Let’s get going Emily said as they both arrange themselves before leaving the motel.

<AT THE WAYLON’S CORP>
The company was abuzz with hushed conversations and furtive glances, as the staff eagerly shared and discussed the latest online sensation: the viral video of their enigmatic CEO, Xavier, being confronted by a mysterious woman. The whispers grew louder, with some staff members giggling and others looking concerned.
“…can’t believe she stood up to him like that!”
“…heard she’s crazy and fearless ”
“…wonder what really happened between them…”
The air was electric with curiosity and speculation, as the staff tried to piece together the events leading up to the confrontation. Some were sympathetic towards Xavier, while others seemed to revel in the drama.
Just then, Xavier walked into the company his expression unreadable,” guess he is still recovering from last night”
The chatter ceased abruptly, replaced by an uncomfortable silence. The staff exchanged nervous glances, unsure how to react. Would Xavier address the elephant in the room, or maintain his usual stoic demeanor? The tension was palpable, as they waited with bated breath for his response.
“Good…morning, sir…” The staff stammered in unison, their voices trembling slightly as Xavier’s gaze swept across the room. His eyes narrowed, his expression unyielding, as if daring anyone to utter another word.
Without acknowledging their greeting, Xavier turned on his heel and strode toward the elevator, his long strides eating up the distance. The staff watched in silence as he disappeared into the elevator, the doors closing behind him with a soft whoosh.
As the elevator ascended to the top floor, Xavier’s face remained impassive, his eyes fixed on the display panel. But his mind was racing, his thoughts consumed by the events of the previous night and the mysterious woman who had confronted him.
The elevator doors opened with a soft chime, and Xavier stepped out into the plush carpeted hallway leading to his office. His assistant, Rachel, looked up from her desk, her eyes widening slightly as she took in his stern expression.
“Good morning, sir,” she ventured, her voice barely above a whisper. “Can I get you anything?”
Xavier’s response was curt. “Coffee. Black.” He turned and strode into his office, leaving Rachel to wonder what had triggered his dark mood.
Xavier got into the his office as he sat down on his executive chair.
He plung out the telephone and put a call across mark.
📞 Good morning sir…; Mark voice sprang out from the other end.
📞 Get the head of marketing to my office now, Xavier ordered his voice sounding icly .
📞 Okay sir , mark said and dropped the call.
few minutes The head of marketing, Alex, arrived promptly, his face set in a nervous smile. “Good morning, Xavier. What can I do for you?”
Xavier’s gaze didn’t waver from the screen. “The social media campaign. I want it scrapped. Now.”
Alex’s smile faltered. “But, sir, we’ve invested significant resources—”
“Scratch it,” Xavier cut in, his voice icy. “I don’t pay you to think. I pay you to execute. And right now, I want that campaign gone.”
Alex nodded hastily, backing away. “Y-yes, sir. Right away.”
As the door closed behind Alex, Xavier’s gaze finally shifted from the screen. His eyes burned with a fierce intensity, his mind still reeling from the events of the previous night.
< 7pm~ TESSA’S RESIDENCE>
“The blue gown looks stunning on you, Emily!” Tessa exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
Emily rolled her eyes, adjusting the strapless dress. “I’m not trying to impress him, remember? I’m just doing this to help your d@mn @zz out , Emily snap.
Tessa chuckled, her laughter light and teasing. “Oh, come on, Emily. You have to admit, you look amazing. And who knows, maybe you’ll have a little fun.”
Emily shot her a withering look. “Fun? Ohh common No attachments, no distractions.”
Tessa grinned mischievously. “Fine, fine. But if you happen to fall for the guy, don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Emily snorted, picking up her clutch. “Not a chance. I’m focused on the task at hand. Now, let’s get this over with.”
With a final check of her makeup, Emily turned to Tessa. “Wish me luck.”
Tessa’s expression turned serious. “You got this, Emily.
Bye, Emily said and head out.
••••
Do I have any other appointments, mark ?? Xavier ask immediately he got into his car .
No sir , but there will be a board meeting tomorrow with the Spencer’s company, mark said as Xavier nod and turn back to the main road only to discover Mr brown was driving to the wrong location.
Where the hell are you going brown?? Xavier ask..
Sorry this is taking you unaware but your mom ordered me to take you to Bistro Bliss, sir,” Mr. Brown replied, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror.
Xavier’s expression turned incredulous. “A blind date? What are you talking about, Brown? I don’t have time for this, Xavier growled.
“I’m afraid your mother was quite insistent, sir,” Mr. Brown said, his voice firm but apologetic. “She said it’s time for you to meet someone special.”
Xavier’s jaw clenched. His mother’s meddling was legendary, but this was taking it too far. “Turn the car around, Brown. I’m not going on some blind date.” Mom shouldn’t have done this, Xavier said.
But Mr. Brown just smiled and continued driving. “I’m afraid it’s too late for that, sir. We’re already here.”
As the car pulled up to the restaurant, Xavier spotted a woman waiting outside. She was stunning, with piercing hazel eyes and long black hair. But Xavier’s appreciation was quickly replaced with annoyance. Who was this woman, and why was his mother trying to set him up with her?
Have told mom , am not interested in any other marriage .
It’s obvious you need a new wife , mark said as Xavier glared daggers at him as mark gulped down.
Am sorry, mark said as Xavier hop down from his car .
He arranged his suit properly and walk towards the woman
“Yes she look beautiful but she wasn’t Xavier’s kind of woman, She looked short and that was a turn off for him.
My type of woman must be tall 5’9, 5’10 feet, classy, extremely gorgeous, fits in parties, social friendly, not too big B-__-bs and a moderate @zz.
This one wasn’t the type I would want to spend the rest of my life with that is even if I want to spend the rest of my life with a woman. ” I can’t even imagine that” Xavier muttered to himself as he match towards the table.
Xavier got to the table his face looking cold.
You can’t be keeping a cold face on a blind date, Her voice sprang immediately as she brought her face up to look at the so called blind and her eyes went flying.
You!!!!!! Emily and Xavier said in unison.
f-__-k!! Emily muttered under her breathe and stood up.
Well I never knew we were gonna meet again, Emily said and a smirk came crawling on Xavier’s lips.
You know I have always wish to see you again, little demon” Xavier said with so much sacarsm.
What do you mean?? Emily ask as Xavier step forward his looks were something she couldn’t process she gulp down and for a second cold ran down her spine ” bet she felt she is frightened, but d@mn it Emily doesn’t get scared.
So I can have you pay for what you did last night,! Xavier yelled as Emily chuckle.
You can’t have me apologize to you , if that’s what you want, Emily spat as she grabbed her bag ready to leave but Xavier’s grip held her back..
I don’t need your apologize shorty, but…
Xavier’s eyes narrowed, his voice cold. “You have two choices, Emily. You can either become my secretary for six months, or I’ll make sure you’re arrested for assault.”
Emily’s eyes widened in shock. “You can’t be serious!”
Xavier’s smile was icy. “I’m completely serious. You see, I have a lot of influence in this city, and I won’t hesitate to use it to get what I want.”
Emily felt a chill run down her spine. She knew she couldn’t let him win, but she also knew she couldn’t risk going to jail.
“Fine,” she spat, trying to keep her dignity. “I’ll be your secretary, how much are we looking at?? Emily ask as Xavier huff and chuckle mockingly.
How much you say?? Hahahaha!! Am not gonna pay you a dime Emily, Xavier said as Emily eyes widen.
What do you mean , am gonna be your secretary for free??? Emily ask as Xavier smirk.
You heard me, or you prepare to go to jail, Xavier as Emily’s eyes narrowed ” she has no choice.
Fine !! But trust me am not gonna forgive you for this, Emily spat.
Xavier’s smirk grew wider. “I don’t need your forgiveness, Emily. I just need your obedience.”
Emily pated her lashes at him before stumping out of the restaurant.
