The Unloved Billionaires And I

ARYA POV

I ran to see Tobias and asked if everything he said was true and it was. Tobias cried with his parents, which broke my heart to see all of them in tears. I tried my best in consoling all of them. This is my fault, I ruined their life, they were just an average family, not very rich but they can eat three square meals a day and that was enough for the family but I ruined them. This is all my fault.

His younger siblings that were in boarding school have been sent home, his parents couldn’t afford to pay. Nobody wanted to employ them, not their friends, not even their extended family, this is all my fault. If I hadn’t dragged Tobias to the party because he was not happy that his crush would be married in a month’s time. If I had just controlled my drinking and just watched Tobias drink nothing like this would have happened, instead our drinks got spiked and he drove us home and made us lay in a compromising position.

“I thought you said he paid everything?” it was half payment man, I am sorry but right now, your brother is in a critical condition, you need to make payment so we can treat him, I don’t think he has much time to survive. “Please do anything you can to save him, I will get the money.” Who will help me right now? I went to Lucas’ home to beg him for help.

They were having a big celebration. I saw Lucas, making a call with someone and I heard the last statement “let him die, I don’t care” he ended the call. I knew it was my brother. I start crying, I think he heard me, I knelt down and begged him “please Lucas, I know you hate me but just save my brother and I promise I will never bother you again” how did you get in here is mother pushed me off her son and kept yelling at me to stay away from him. I begged but he ignored me, I asked people around for help but they sent me out. I ran back to check on my brother only to see his body lying there, he was not breathing.

My brother is dead and it is all my fault, he was so happy when he started getting his treatment, saying how he will recover soon and help me with everything I needed but he is gone now. My brother is gone. I broke down in tears. I cried and screamed but no one was there to console me, it was not like I needed someone to do that.

~Weeks later~

Everything was done, Tobias helped me with everything, he is gone, my brother is dead. Have been walking for hours, and it’s pouring, am close to a bridge, I looked at the flowing water, I wish I could just float away, after much consideration, I climbed and thought about it, I have no one, it just me, myself and, I jumped while I repeated this and blacked out.

I woke up, and found myself in the hospital, am still alive, why am I still alive who brought me here. The doctor came in to check on me. You are awake, I thought you would never wake, how long was I asleep.

A year and six month, you were in a coma. “Why am I not dead? You should have let me die. I have nothing to live for,” so I start crying again. “That’s where you are wrong dear,” a woman came in, holding a four months old baby.

“Who are you?” My name is Layla and this is my husband Alonzo, we found you, we thought you were dead but thank God we didn’t just assume. We checked and you were still breathing. Although it was faint, we quickly brought you to the hospital, since no one claimed any missing child, we could only assume you were an orphan or something. You look rich, why didn’t you do a background check on me? I did, but nothing came out, Alonzo! I told you to wait until she was awake but she was taking so long to wake up honey.

“You shouldn’t have saved me. I would be better off dead.” You can’t say that, at least think about your baby. Baby! What baby? This little angel. I don’t understand why she is not mine. Oh darling, you were pregnant, the child is yours, she is mine? They nodded. I tried to kill myself, oh God what have I done. You didn’t know you were pregnant? What am I going to do, how will I take care of her? I have no one.

Dear, you should start by telling us your name. Sorry, “my name is Arya. It is nice to meet you,” Arya, and see that your son looks so much like you with the green eyes and black hair. He is such an angel. What is his name? we didn’t give him one, we were waiting for you to wake up, I had hoped you would wake up. “What if I didn’t?” what! What if I didn’t? Well, “we would have just called him Angel,” that is what we have been calling him since he was born. It suited him. I know right.

“What will you name him?” Angelo. Angelo Diego Rodriguez. “So, your name is Arya Rodrigues?” No, “I am changing it, it is always Arya Silvia but I want to be called Silvia.” Alright Silvia,” you don’t need to worry about anything, we will take care of you and your baby.” You don’t even know me. I might be a killer or…

“are you?”

“Am I what?”

“Are you a killer?”

“No, have never even killed anything in my life before.”

“Then you will be coming with us.”

“Fine, whatever but where the hell am I?” I know this is not our town hospital, well dear, the water moved you far away. And when you were in a coma, we had to bring you with us, since we were here for a holiday and couldn’t leave you with no one.

“Thank you for saving me,” no problem dear, “we promise to take care of you and this little angel.”

“Mama!” Someone yelled which startled the baby. I told you not to yell like that, look at him crying. “Sorry Angel but mama stole you away from me.”

Mama, “you know it is my turn to watch the baby. How could you take him away from me?” “You were sleeping.”This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I wasn’t sleeping, I was taking a nap, the baby was sleeping.” Well, I wanted him to visit his mother and I didn’t want to disturb your nap. “Look, she is awake, she turned and finally noticed me,”

I looked at her closely Irene!” Hi Arya,” she waved her hands at me. “Do you know each other?” her mother asked.

“Yes, we worked together when you told me to look for a job and told father to stop giving me money.” She said glaring at her mother. Her father hit her arm, don’t look at your mother like that princess and don’t forget I sent you money every month.

“You did what?”

“Nothing honey. I told you not to send her anything, you went behind my back and did this.”

Why didn’t you say anything if you knew her, I tried but you wouldn’t stop gushing on how handsome the baby was and we were all busy so I thought when she woke up, I’ll just tell you about it. “You stupid child she hit Irene on her head,” honey you’re hurting her, her husband held his wife away from their daughter. “You know what, you are sleeping with Alonso tonight,” he got pale.

“Who is Alonso?” Our dog. “You named your dog after your husband?”

“No dear, the dog’s name has the letter z not s, it doesn’t matter.”

“How can you call your dog that.”

“I did tell her it sounded ridiculous but she never listens to anybody,”

“But he looks so cute just like your father.”

“How can you compare me to a dog he grumbled,” oh dear here we go again, “I didn’t say you were a dog dear, this is my little Alonzo while you are my big Alonso,” why does it still sound the same to me, they kept whispering, leaving me alone with my baby. I promise you, she looked at the baby, nobody is going to hurt her while I am alive.
