How To Get A Divorce From A Billionaire ?

Episode 71

_" Elyaaas~ you're so lucky today! I'm going to take you to my secret place!"

This was what the 8 years old me whispered to the 12 years old shy cousin of mine while shaking him off sleep early in the morning.

He seemed a bit reluctant while looking at my swollen face from sleep and very messy hair, he rubbed his eyes then genuinely asked:

_" Are you taking me to the toy store to buy you a new doll? Nana warned me not to let you take advantage of me again."

I humphed then angrily rebuffed:
 
_" when did I take advantage of you! And what toy store opens this early in the morning! Since you're being so cheap I changed my mind, I will go out alone to play and leave you here with Nana to chat with her all day long!"

In barely few minutes, he was already prepared to go stroll the streets with me, he stood at the bathroom's door and watched me brush my hair silently.

After I finished tightly holding it in a bun, I handed him a plastic bag and ordered:

_" Hide it well! We're going to need it later." 

He nodded with a serious expression, then followed me tiptoeing as we secretly left the house before anyone wakes up, since if we were caught, we won't be allowed out. Of course at the age of 8 it never occured to me that it is necessary to inform my family before leaving in case an accident happened with me while being out, all I was thinking about 24/7 was to enjoy my time fully.

Once we were out early in the morning, Eliyas who wasn't used to our region's morning chill was shivering from cold, still when I asked him whether he felt cold he stubbornly shook his head. I guess it had to do with the way I asked him, I said:

_" Is it so cold for you? If you're feeling cold you have to support it or else I'll cancel our plans for the day."

I felt a bit bad later hearing him cracking his teeth as we walked, I wasn't ready to give up my jacket for his sake either so I gave him a pensive look then generously suggested:

_" let's run the rest of the way, you'll feel warmer when we run!"

Then I immediately started running like if I was chased by a dog, and he followed.

I took him all the way across the muddy wheat fields and rocky lands until we arrived at the top of the hill out of town where I had my secret treasure: the abandoned hawthorn tree!

As I proudly looked at the big tree heavied by the ripe sour fruit my mouth already started to droll.

This tree was all mine by a deal made between the children of my street, and no one was allowed to eat from it, I had to walk a great distance to reach it so I had to bring someone along every time I went, in case I was kidnapped by an organ trafficker, there would at least be someone to report me missing.

So yes, I tricked my then naive cousin into going there with me.

When we finally stopped running, Eliyas who was very sickly started coughing incessantly and had a great difficulty breathing, while weakly kneeling on the ground and trying to gasp for air with a very red face, he took his inhaler out of his pocket and handed it to me.

His inclination was clear: " I should make sure to hand It to him in case things went even worse."

The little phobic me was of course terrified by the sight I was witnessing! I sure knew he was sickly but I didn't expect he would simply die from little running!

I immediately took off my jacket and covered him with it, then numbly kneeled beside him and watched him struggle breathing.

It took him a long time before his breaths finally settled, he looked at me with a tired face and weirdly asked while taking his inhaler back:
