Saved by the Possessive Billionaire

Mr. Watson grinned when he saw who was approaching their house. He let go of the curtain and adjusted it to keep the sun's heat from entering the living area. Their home was small, but there were only a few days left for them to stay there, as their world was about to turn."Saoirse is finally here," June announced to his family. June was the father of the Watson family.The indefinite worry crossed Samara's face. She was June and Belle's second daughter.The couple had three children: Saoirse, the eldest; Samara, the next, who was everyone's favorite; and Sawyer, the only son of the Watson family.Their life was difficult. No, not just difficult. The word "hard" wasn't enough to describe the kind of life they had. They were even worse off than mice. They also didn't have many household items. June and Belle couldn't afford to send their three children to school. The couple themselves didn't finish their studies. So, from then until now, their way of life hadn't improved."I'm nervous, mama. Saoirse might hurt me," Samara complained to her parents.Sawyer immediately defended his older sister. "You're wrong there, Samara. Saoirse has never been angry with us. She's kind!" he defended.Samara rolled her eyes at Sawyer's defense of Saoirse. "I know you see Saoirse as saintly, Sawyer," the girl replied irritably.Their mother intervened. "Samara, Sawyer, stop that. Are you really going to argue over such a simple thing?" The old woman looked at Samara. "You're being foolish. Why are you afraid of Saoirse now? So what if she gets mad? She can't do anything," she said, laughing like a demon.When the family saw their mother laugh, Samara Watson also felt relieved. Her mother was right; that Saoirse was powerless!The family heard Saoirse's rustling and footsteps at the door. Samara's heart started beating fast. This was the day the girl had been waiting for!The door of their small house opened. The Watson family saw Saoirse's sweaty face and body, obviously coming from a long walk under the sun. She was carrying plastic bags filled with food. Her hair was messy, not even bothered to be combed. She was only wearing a simple, worn-out blouse and Belle Watson's old skirt. Saoirse's face showed signs of exhaustion and hardship from the day, but nevertheless, she greeted them with a wide smile."Mama, papa, you're here. What's going on? Why are we all complete today? Well, it's good because I brought food! I'll set the table, and we can enjoy this together," she said energetically, as if she hadn't just come from a tiring job.Samara hated to admit it, but her older sister was her complete opposite. Even wearing rags, Saoirse naturally looked beautiful and simple. Samara had never heard her complain about their difficult life. And because of that, Samara felt an intense anger towards her older sister.Their mother intervened. "Samara, Sawyer, stop that. Are you really going to argue over such a simple thing?" The old woman looked at Samara. "You're being foolish. Why are you afraid of Saoirse now? So what if she gets mad? She can't do anything," she said, laughing like a demon.When the family saw their mother laugh, Samara Watson also felt relieved. Her mother was right; Saoirse was powerless!The family heard Saoirse's rustling and footsteps at the door. Samara's heart started beating fast.

Even wearing rags, Saoirse naturally looked beautiful and simple. Samara had never heard her complain about their difficult life. And because of that, Samara felt an intense anger towards her older sister.Anger? Maybe not. Samara wasn't just feeling anger towards Saoirse. It was a deep-seated rage, a kind of anger she couldn't understand towards her older sister."Don't bother us anymore, Saoirse. We don't want to eat the food you brought. I'm sure you just bought that from the street. I'm not sure if it's clean. I'm also sure it's not delicious. From now on, we don't eat street foods. That's not our level!" Belle said in a condescending tone.Everyone saw the shock that crossed Saoirse's face. She was bewildered. Samara smirked. Sawyer remained expressionless."Mama? What are you talking about?" Saoirse asked in confusion."Saoirse, sit down. There's something you need to know," June began seriously.Saoirse followed her father's command and sat on their cheap wooden sofa. She still had a look of confusion on her face. Everyone just followed what their parents were about to say."Sawyer, let him in," their father ordered the youngest sibling.Sawyer sighed and followed the order. They heard the knocks on the cement. Samara held her breath when she saw the most handsome and beloved man in her life - Justin.Saoirse was utterly shocked. "Justin? Why are you here? What are you doing here?"Justin was Saoirse's long-time boyfriend, whom Samara secretly loved. Samara had feelings for Justin for a long time.June answered her daughter. "Justin is here because he has something important to tell us, and you,"Samara held her breath as she watched Justin walk towards their parents. He was truly handsome, smart, and ambitious. He was the man of her dreams. Samara hated that her elder sister was his girlfriend, but she no longer needed to suppress her anger. Because on this day, the last laugh was hers!"Justin, what are you doing here? Are you planning a surprise visit?" Saoirse asked her boyfriend with a smile.Samara's ears rang at what she heard. "Of course not, you bitch! He's here because of me!" Samara screamed to herself. But she couldn't bring herself to speak.Justin knelt down and took something from his pocket. Saoirse gasped. Her eyes sparkled. An idea formed in her mind.Samara and Belle, the mother and daughter, exchanged glances. They both grinned at what was about to happen.Justin took out a small box from his pocket and opened it. A diamond ring."Oh my God!" Saoirse exclaimed, her eyes welling up with joy."Go ahead, celebrate, Saoirse! Let's see if this room won't be flooded with your tears today!" Samara's subconscious mind uttered like a demon.Saoirse's eyes were full of hope and joy. Her boyfriend of 12 years was about to propose!"Uncle June, Auntie Belle, I kneel before you now to express my desire to marry your daughter... Samara," Justin proudly announced to the Watson family.Saoirse's jaw literally dropped at what she heard. She trembled, unable to believe what she heard. "Wh-What are you saying, Justin? You must be mistaken..."Justin grinned. "I'm not mistaken, Saoirse. I'm sorry it had to come to this. But I no longer love you. You're no longer the woman I want to be with."Saoirse stood up from the wooden seat, cheeks drenched with abundant tears. "I-I understand! But why are you saying you'll marry my sister?" Her voice cracked.Samara seized the moment. This was the opportunity the woman had been waiting for. "You're not dumb enough not to understand what Justin said, Saoirse! Isn't it obvious? He wants to marry me, he loves me!" And she laughed crazily.Tears streamed down Saoirse's face one after another. "Th-That's not true! You love me, right Justin? We're the couple!" Saoirse tried to hug Justin.But Samara wouldn't let that happen. She removed her sister's hand from Justin's arm and pushed her. Saoirse fell onto the wooden chair. "You're outdated, Saoirse! Justin is tired of you, so you should be replaced! Bitch! And don't touch my boyfriend!""Are you going crazy, Samara? Justin and I are a couple! We've been together for 12 years!" She screamed, her neck veins bulging."I've been tired of our relationship for a long time, Saoirse. I love Samara now," Justin said without consideration.Saoirse grabbed onto her boyfriend's arm again. "B-But, Justin--"Before Saoirse could react, Belle delivered a strong slap to her daughter's face. "Can't you really understand, Saoirse? Justin is no longer yours! He loves your sister, Samara! And we agree to their marriage!"Pain and betrayal crossed Saoirse's beautiful face. "Even you, mama? You're going to condone Samara? They deceived me behind my back! Justin is mine!""No, he's not yours, Saoirse. Justin is mine!" Samara slapped her sister hard. She had long dreamed of hurting Saoirse! She was the villain in her life!Saoirse fell to her knees, sobbing uncontrollably. Sawyer felt sorry for his elder sister and tried to comfort her, but he was threatened by their father. "Go ahead, try it, Sawyer! You'll regret it!"All Sawyer could do was sigh.Saoirse desperately reached for Justin's legs, pleading. She looked like a child deprived of a good life. "P-Please, Justin. Don't do this to me. We love each other so much, don't we? We have so many dreams, right?" She asked tearfully."Don't touch me!" Justin removed her hands and moved away as if he was avoiding a contagious disease. "Do you think knowing about you, I'll still love you? No! I'm disgusted by you! What man would love you? You're a low-class woman!"Belle intervened. "I'm getting impatient! I don't want to stay in this damn house any longer! This conversation is over. Justin, we agree for you to marry Samara. Let's go before it gets late on the road,"That's when Saoirse noticed the suitcases around. "W-What does this mean? Where are you going?" She asked in panic.Saoirse only now noticed that her family was wearing well-arranged clothes, as if going on vacation.June laughed and answered her daughter. "We're leaving this smelly, ugly, and pest-infested house! Since Samara and Justin are getting married anyway, we'll be staying with Justin,"Saoirse frowned. How could their family stay with Justin? Like them, Justin's family was also poor. They also had to scrape the bottom of the barrel just to make ends meet!Everyone could read Saoirse's thoughts. Samara answered her sister's confusion. "Justin won the lottery. And now he's a millionaire. He's rich now. He's worth 20 million dollars now. That's why he no longer deserves a dirty woman like you. Well, we have to go now. We're moving to a big, fragrant, luxurious mansion. You can stay here, you're not allowed in our lives," Samara said snootily, pulling her trolley.Their parents didn't respond either and grabbed their belongings. Sawyer looked at Saoirse with pity and tears in his eyes, but he couldn't do anything, so he also took his things and left."P-Please! Don't do this to me!"Her family had already left the house, and Saoirse knelt on the floor, feeling as if a knife were lodged in her chest. She sobbed in pain and sadness, feeling like she was having a heart attack.Everyone had left, but her father stopped and spoke. "We don't want to see your face in our lives anymore, Saoirse. You understand? I don't want you to ruin Samara's bright future. We don't need you anymore, and if you plan to ruin our lives, I won't hesitate to give you a harsh lesson, I'll kill you," Ruthless were her father's words as he finally left her alone in the house that witnessed her struggles in life.
