Billionaires with Benefits Chapter 59

59 59. Lea’s Decision

The kiss was so sweet, gentle, and passionate at the same time. Samuel was surprised when he found that Clara’s lips were so edible and delicious. He kissed the shit out of her.

Clara felt the same way, she didn’t expect that the hot janitor was a good kisser. He seriously kissed her in a good way. His tongue gently entered her-the force was just right as if they already rehearsed it many times in advance. It’s so comfortable, she wanted to enjoy it for a longer time.

It was a momentary thought. It was a momentary feeling.

Just when Clara realized that Dave was no longer around, that’s when her brain started working to realize what was happening.

When Clara felt that the janitor ran his tongue inside her mouth, she suddenly pulled back and slapped him hard.

“Damn, you man whore! How dare you kiss me in such a lewd manner!”

Samuel was shocked. He didn’t expect to get a slap on his face. “You were the one who started the kiss! Why did you slap me?”

“You enjoyed the kiss! It’s not supposed to be like that!”

“What? I tried to do it naturally so your fu-oh, your pursuer didn’t recognize you,” Samuel snapped, trying hard not to curse.

…..

“What? I will sue you! I will ask my dad to buy the store and he will kick you out of here. I will make sure that no one hires you in the entire city!”

Samuel had no more patience left. He then opened the cab’s door and helped-forced-Clara to get into the cab. He then gave some money to the driver and asked him to bring her home.

As the cab drove away, he inhaled deeply. “I hope this is the last time I met that kind of spoiled chick!”

What a rough night for poor Samuel.

***

The next day ….

Lea walked through the yard of William’s parents’ house, full of anxiety. It was still early in the morning, the autumn mood was quite chilly. However, her body was sweating profusely because she was scared.

She had made up her mind to meet William’s parents who had been kind enough to take care of her all this time and treat her well. She had to do what she should have done a long time ago.

Lea entered the house after a maid opened the door for her. It seemed that no one had woken up because last night’s party had exhausted them. Good! She could still pack her belongings up before doing her most important agenda.

One by one she packed the clothes she had brought from her house, not including expensive dresses bought by Lisa. She understood, she didn’t deserve them because they were obtained by lying.

After packing up every important thing, she went to the bathroom to clean up and get her looks to freshen up. She undressed, looking at the torn-up dress with so much pain in her heart. Her heart was even messier than the destroyed ball gown.

A drop of tear fell to her cheek, followed by other drops. It must be karma, just like what her mom said last night. Everything happened because she tried to fight her fate in the wrong way.

So many lies. So many acts of revenge. She hurts others. She wronged Paula and also helped Samuel to get rid of William from Paula’s life.

‘Just because somebody hurt you doesn’t mean you can hurt others.’

Lea recalled what her mom said last night when she was visiting. Her sick mom was right. How could she even forget about that simple thing? A rule of life that her mom always reminded her of almost every day.

‘Don’t try to control the thing that you can’t control.’

Lea realized that she had to stop begging William to come back. Everything had changed. As well as William’s heart. His heart belonged to his legal wife. What was wrong with that? Many people went through forced marriages, only a few could truly fall in love afterward. Shouldn’t she be happy that William could love his wife?

‘You can not choose who you love.’

William chose his wife. She had to accept that.

Lea then took shower and wore a yellow long jumpsuit. She grabbed her brown cardigan after applying dewy light makeup to her face.

When the sun was up, Alex and the rest of the family were already at the dining table, munching their last bites. Lea came closer, bringing her luggage, forcing a smile on her gloomy and puffy face.

“Lea?” Lisa responded to the sight of Lea’s unusual presence. “You were missing last night. I tried to call William, but he said we were okay to just leave,” she explained further.

“And … I didn’t know that you were coming home this morning. That’s why I didn’t call you for breakfast,” Vanessa said awkwardly then called a maid to prepare breakfast for Lea. She scolded one of the maids for not telling her about Lea’s presence.

“Van, it’s fine. I had breakfast earlier,” Lea said in a hoarse voice. “Other than breakfast, I have something to tell you all. Something so … important ….”

Everyone’s heart skipped a beat. They expected something big to happen when the morning came since so many unusual and strange things happened last night.

The missing William said he was seeing Paula ….

The embarrassing YouTube video exposing their PDA ….

The missing Lea with no traces ….

However, seeing Lea’s current expression made them understand that the thing they were expecting to happen was not as big as the reality.

“What is that?” Alex coldly asked. He put no expression on his face, increasing the tension in the room.

Lea swallowed hard. “I knew that you would hate me if I say this, but I realized that I better say it now than later-”

“Don’t beat around the bush! Just say it right now!” Alex exclaimed, raising his voice. It almost made Lea jump out of shock.

“Dad, please, … let her finish her sentence …,” Vanessa, the one who was supposed to be in a cold war with her father, opened her mouth for the sake of Lea. Her father threw an unfriendly glare at her, but she tried to face him with the rest of the courage left.

“Say it, Lea!” Lisa said, holding her breath anxiously.

Lea’s eyes glistened with tears but she tried her best not to cry. “I-I am not pregnant with William’s baby,” Lea finished her sentence in a trembling voice.
