Billionaire's Claim

Chapter 26

Sapphire Miller's POV:

"What?" Richard questioned and everyone except for Lily, Richard and I laughed their guts out.

"R.I.P Richard McCarthy, a loving son, friend and a very big a**h***" Xander said wiping out his tears because of the big laugh they just shared.

"Shut up Xander and you I don't believe in this future seeing shit. I just know that I have to marry Anna" Richard said to Rose and walked out of the room. Lily dragged me outside to calm her nerves.

"How can we fail? This was the best plan anyone could ever design" Lily said as we walked on the streets. To say she was angry would be an understatement she was beyond that.

"Maybe he loves her Lily" I said feeling sad.

"Did he say that with his mouth? Even if he loves her he'll be yours and I'll make sure of it" Lily said very confidently.

"But your plan failed Lily" I said not knowing what to do further.

"That's only plan A darling, we still have 25 more to go" Lily said again laughing evilly.

"I don't know what you're thinking Lily" I said coz Lily sometimes does go way too far to get things done.

"I know what to do" Lily said smirking. Tonight, we were to go to a club. I was in my room getting ready suddenly, I heard a loud knock. I went to see who it was and guess what I see. Lily dressed in almost nothing. I'm serious she just got her main parts covered.

"You look veryyyy ......" I started but didn't have words to finish the sentence.

"slutty, sexy? I know" Lily said laughing like a fool.

"Chris will have a problem seeing you in that dress" I said still not believing my eyes.

"Let him, I don't care. Anyway, I got you a gift" Saying that she gave me a box. I opened it and found a sister dress to what Lily was wearing.

"There's no way in hell I'll wear this dress" I said putting it on the bed and going back to what I was doing.

"I spent so much on this dress now wear it coz this dress will help you get Richard" Lily said.

"No I skip the dress part we'll carry on with the remaining part of your plan" I said sincerely wanting her to not force me. She on the other hand pushing me on to the bed and started undressing me.

"Wait what are you doing?" I screamed.

"There's no time to convince you. Will you wear it on your own or should I continue?" Lily questioned.

"I'll wear it" I said trying to cover myself.

"Good girl" saying that she sat on the chair and waited for me. As soon as I got dressed, she gave a wowwww and started doing my makeup. Once she's done she smiled genuine smile telling me symbolically that she's satisfied with the result.

"Ms. Third wheel now you just wait what I'll do" Lily said evilly and dragged me out of the room. As soon as we stepped into the living room, I can see that everyone was waiting for us. I searched for Richard and as soon as he saw me he just opened his mouth and stood still.

"I knew you'd have this effect on him" Lily whispered and we quickly joined them.

"What are you wearing Lily?" Chris questioned looking at Lily and I can say that he's trying to control himself.

"A dress" Lily answered not even looking at him.

"Ufff go change and come" Chris said and I think everyone sensed that Chris's patience level is hanging by a thread now.

"No, I won't and you don't have any right to say that" Lily said testing his patience and this whole time Richard had his eyes on me.

"Baby please go change. It's not good for others at the club to see you like this" Chris said taking out his coat and covering her.

"No" Lily said and Chris started desperately trying to change her mind.

"Are you comfortable in that dress, Princess?" Alvin asked. How could he sense my discomfort? He's my brother for a reason.

"Yea she is" Lily answered before I could say anything.

"Ok as long as you're comfortable" Alvin said and I know he's not convinced.

"You might catch a cold, you're wearing so little" Richard said and I didn't expect any response from him. Everyone went silent at that point and Lily started wiggling her eyebrows and mouthed me 'I knew it'. I was about to answer but someone else beat me to it.

"Babe she's fine and she said that she is comfortable. Don't worry" Ms. Fiancé said very sweetly as if she had honey before speaking. Such a sweet talker she is. After listening to her response, Richard just nodded and smiled at her.

"How much I hate her" Lily said dragging me out of the room. We were about to sit in the car with Chris, Xander and Rick and the sweet talker and Richard planned to take another car.

"Sapph why don't we go with Richard?" Lily suggested and I nodded. My friend here is trying so much. God bless this soul. Without giving others a chance to talk, Lily dragged me to that car and pushed me beside Richard. I don't know if I saw what I actually saw but Ms. Fiancé smirked when she saw me sitting beside Richard.

"Umm why don't we take that car Ms..., this way we can get to know each other. What say?" Lily said grabbing sweet talker's hand.

"No, I think we can do that by going in this car also" Sweet talker said. She's good with words.

"I meant us, the people in that car. Come don't be shy" saying that Lily dragged her to that car and pushed her inside that car with lot of force and I know that hurt sweet talker. Both the cars started moving and the tension between us started rising. I could sense that Richard is looking at my exposed thighs. Gawwddd the temperature in the car suddenly started rising. I was about to ask him why he's looking at me and I got a message from lily.

'Yo talk to him' lily texted. How the hell does she know we weren't talking.

'yea yea I will' I replied back.

'But what should I talk?' I texted her after thinking for a minute.

'Tell him you that his fiancé is beautiful....*with an eye rolling emoji*' Lily texted and I know she was sarcastic.

'Please Lily' I replied to lily.

'Ok ask him how his day was' Lily texted and I just did that.

"How was your day?" I questioned Richard.

"It was good Saphh" Richard replied.

'I asked him, now what' I texted Lily not knowing what to do.

'Sapph try talking casually like how you used to' Lily texted back.

"Umm so when are you planning to marry?" I questioned Richard and he gave a surprised look. I think he's not interested in talking with coz he kept texting someone the whole time.

"Umm after this vacation" Richard said and I chocked on my own saliva. What he already planned to marry her? I almost teared up after listening to that. No no, I can't cry. Control yourself, you can't cry not at least in front of him. Control control control... I kept chanting that in my mind and once we arrived at our destination, I quickly jumped out of the car and went to Lily. We went inside and Lily directly dragged me to the bar. It was hard for me to concentrate. Lily kept on talking but I couldn't understand anything until someone started shaking me.

"What happened? Why are you crying?" Lily questioned shaking me and I didn't know that I was crying until she said. I touched my cheeks to check for any wet sensation and yea I was crying and I was crying coz of a heartbreak.

"Tell me what happened babe? And please stop crying" Lily said cupping my cheeks and wiping the tears.

"He's getting married once we return home" I said to Lily hiccupping. No, I can't take it anymore. I have to leave this place.

"What? He can't do that. I'll not allow that to happen I promise" Lily said.

"N-No no more planning. He..He's in love with her an..an...d want to get married to her I don't want to spoil his happiness" I said crying hard at this point lily hugged me and patted my back slowly.

"Aww Sapph you're such a good girl. Don't cry please....." Lily said hugging me and she also started crying. I don't want to stay here any longer. I looked at the crowd and saw Richard sitting next to his fiance happily chatting. If he's happy with her I'll not bother them.

"I don't want to stay here" I said crying to Lily and she nodded and informed Alvin that we're leaving and came back. She took me out of the club and called a taxi. We got in and went back.
