The Billionaire's Wish

3-The Engagement

In Beverly Hills, California - A day before the explosion

Richard Lance Montgomery, the handsome and famous owner and billionaire CEO of Triple M Productions, paced the hall as he waited for his fiancee. He was one of the most sought after bachelors in California. He was the only heir of the biggest financial investment firm in the world but he opted to build a business of his own which he successfully turned into a billion dollar company.

While waiting for his girlfriend, Lindsay, he scanned the crowd. Many elites in society and celebrities as well as the biggest names in the corporate and business world are present on his party. He was after all one of them.

He thought, Lindsay was taking too long. She was supposed to be at the events hall for their engagement party an hour ago.

"I wonder where she is."

30 minutes ago, he sent Lindsay's bestfriend Suzie to her room while he greeted some of their guests.

Growing impatient, he went up to the floor where she is staying. He opened the door to check on her.
And that is when his world started to crumble down.

What he saw will forever haunt and taunt him.

He saw his girlfriend of six years and fiancee of three months, naked and in bed kissing her best friend. Lance did not even consider that any of them was a lesbian.

Lance was utterly stunned and so were the two girls kissing on the hotel bed.

"Lindsay. What are you doing?" He uttered the words even though he knew that the girl he was about to get engaged to was cheating on him, on the day of their official engagement.

Lindsay looked at him with pity and said "Im sorry Lance, I have been fighting this for so long and now I cannot contain it. I love her. Im sorry but the engagement is off."

Suzie just stared and hugged the crying Lindsay.

As the shock disipated. The fury and hurt surfaced.

"You know what?! Screw you! Fu*k you both! You have no right to call off the engagement because I'm calling it off myself! You filthy bitch! How can you humiliate me like this?! After everything I have done for you? This is what I get!"

"Lance..."

"Forget it! Don't even think of explaining yourself! Get out! Both of you! I paid for this! I paid for all of this! Get out now!"

He was fuming with rage as he left the room and rode the elevator down to meet his head of security.

At the lobby of the hotel. He saw his security team.

"Ramon, escort Lindsay and Suzie out of this hotel. I also want all of her things gone from my penthouse this instant! Don't ask! Just do as I say!"

He took off on his red Ferrari and drove around the city. Without any destination he just roamed around to clear his mind and to calm his furious heart.

He suffered so much pain in his life already and he was not expecting to be betrayed that way.

He thought about everything he and Lindsay shared, their friendship and their good times together. He tried to understand if it was his fault. But the thing is he cannot think of any reason why he could be subject to such betrayal.

Was he trusting and blind enough not to notice the signs? His busy schedule and drive to success was never an issue with them.

Everything was unexpected. Now, all his plans gone to waste. He knew that this hurt he was feeling was not heart break for the love he lost but rather a painful wake up call that betrayal will always be part of life.

After an hour of driving and ignoring the ringing cellphone, he answered his bestfriend's call.

"Dude where the hell are you! What happened! Your securities dragged your fiancee out of the hotel!"

"She's not my fiancee. She cheated on me with her friend! I don't want to talk about this. I'll just go away for sometime. Could you just take care of everything for me until I get back?"

"Lance, of course. Don't worry I always got your back. Im just here whenever you need me. Are you sure you're alright?"

Lance was grateful that behind all these drama, he still have one person to trust.

"Thanks man! Yes, I will be fine. I have suffered worst than this." And so he turned the phone off so no one can trace where he is going.

That is the question.

"Where should I go? What must I do?"
