Arrogant Billionaire - Part l

"Good morning, Mr. Reighs." She welcomed him on board with a smile, and he responded with a smug, taunting smirk.

"What a pleasant surprise, Captain! I was hoping Sage would have returned by now!" Ophelia wanted to punch him in the face, but she kept her cool and responded with another false courteous smile, "I guess he's not well enough to fly yet."

"Very well, even though he isn't here, I know I'm in good hands." His voice was rich as he gave her a curt nod and with a wink he ascended the stairs into the aircraft, accompanied by his bodyguards and secretary.

She followed them in and settled in the flight deck as they settled into their seats. Dallas looked at her with trepidation as she sat down and buckled her seatbelt. With one look, he knew she could kill someone at that moment, so he remained silent.

"Crew, please prepare for takeoff." She said curtly, and they were soon in the air, flying to Belgium.

The wing engine is semi-illuminated from the plane's window, with the lower half gleaming around the rim and the upper half several shades darker. As the plane moves, the border between shade and light shifts and Ophelia listens to the sound of the rotors. After a few moments one of the flight attendants peeked into the flight deck and Ophelia glanced back.

“Mr Reighs wants to see you, Captain.” She said and Ophelia rolled her eyes. She got out of her seat and walked out of the flight deck.

“You wished to see my, Mr Reighs.” She said and Onyx looked up.

“Ah, yes, Captain. I had some questions.” He said and Ophelia could see the mischievous glint in his eyes.

“What is it sir?” She asked

“I was wondering if you could fly us away from those birds. You see I don’t want those birds to crash with my jet and I don’t know scratch it.” Ophelia felt like rolling her eyes or maybe slap him but she held on to that desire and with a professional smile she said.

“I’m certain that those birds won’t do any harm to your jet, Sir.”

“Are you sure? I have seen a bird taking down an Airbus.” He said and Ophelia’s brows frowned. ‘What is he playing at.’

“I mean I don’t want to lose my life in hands of a bird. I don’t mind dying in your arms but not in wings of a bird.” He said with a light smirk and Ophelia finally understood he only wished to annoy her. For the next couple of minutes his unnecessary question went on and by the time she returned to her flight deck, she was annoyed and mentally exhausted.

Thirty minutes into the flight, Ophelia excused herself. Dallas glanced at her as she stepped out of the flight deck, removing her blazer and draping it over her seat. She checked the crew restroom, but it was already occupied. She sighed and walked over to the other restroom for the passengers. Lilian smiled at her, and she responded with a curt nod and smile of her own. She didn't see Onyx and was relieved she didn't have to see his face.

She came to a halt in front of the restroom, about to open the door and enter, when she heard noises coming from the small bedroom on the deck. Her brow furrowed as she strained to hear what that noise was. As the pants, grunts, and groans became louder, her face contoured with disdain. The sound of human flesh colliding with human flesh fills her ears, as does the sound of sulking.

"Jerk!" She mumbled and rolled her eyes as she entered the restroom.

She exited the restroom and locked it; she turned around, and the bedroom door opened. The flight attendant was taken aback when she saw her and her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. As the flight attendant opened and closed her mouth to say something, while Ophelia stared at her with cold eyes, "I-I'm sorry Captain..." she began to apologize but was cut off when Ophelia raised her hand.

"I'm not here to Opheliage you based on your personal life or beliefs, but please be at least a little professional when you are at work." The flight attendant nodded and proceeded to walk away. Ophelia took a step towards the flight deck when she saw Onyx walking out, his face and neck flushed red. She had caught him off guard and he was somewhat surprised to see her. For a moment there she thought she had seen shame flicker across his eyes, but she only thought it to be her imagination when his eyes went cold as always, and with a smug grin he asked, "Anything I can do for you, Captain?"

"Nothing, sir. I'm heading back now." She walked away and all the way to the flight deck, she continued to feel Onyx's heated gaze on the rear of her skull.

They landed at Antwerp International Airport shortly after. Ophelia walked out of the flight deck to see the passengers off after the plane had landed perfectly and the passengers were ready to disembark. She noticed Onyx approaching the door, dressed sharply in a black suit and his hair perfectly coiffed.

"Prepare to fly to the Netherlands. We shouldn't be out of here for long." He informed whilst wearing sunglasses and fastening the button on his suit. She resisted the urge to scoff at his arrogant tone. "See you later Captain." He spoke just loud enough for her to hear and walked away towards the SUV that was waiting for him.

"Hey, Ross!" She summoned her co-pilot, who was retrieving his bag from the flight deck. "Yes, Ophelia?" He responded strolling out.

"Do you know of any places nearby?" She inquired,

"Didn't boss say it won't take them long?" His voice was laced with concern. "And you believed that? With one look at him, I'm sure they won't be back any time soon!" She stated with a grin, "I can't say I know, but we can always explore." With a cheerful smile, he suggested.

"That sounds pretty good to me!" She replied whilst donning her glasses and buttoning her blazer. With her bag in hand, they head out after the aircraft was locked and safely parked in the private lane of the airport.

"Do you believe they will be foolish enough to go against the offer?" Onyx casually inquired of Lilian, who sat alongside him in the black SUV gliding down Antwerp's streets. "I doubt it, but you can't afford to take that type of gamble. Everyone knows the company would bankrupt in less than six months." Lilian attempted to justify her point of view.

"Then I'll rebuild it over the next six months."

"But, boss..."

"There are no buts, Lilian." Onyx turned off Lilian as he yawned and gazed out the car window. It had been a couple of hours of rushing about the city, attending a number of meetings, and visiting construction sites. Even though these meetings were only scheduled last night. They got everything just right, and he couldn't be happier.

His gaze was drawn to the people walking down the blacktop street, and his vision is drawn to the blue skies, which, as it hugs the starlight, has such a mischievous aura this eventide. But, in the midst of it all, a particular figure drew his attention. It was the first time he saw her smiling, even laughing. Her aura around her was so bright that it could light up even the darkest alley. Every time he saw her, there was this phony smile and curtness. Even though she was dressed in her regular uniform and had her hair pulled up, as usual, there was something different. Something that was urging his soul. A desire to hold her, to care for her as if she were a delicate flower surrounded by thorns that would damage her. As he watched her engage with the child who seemed to be fascinated by her uniform, a smile crept across his face. She was cheerfully responding to the little girl knelt in front of her to match her height, and she laughed out loud when the man standing next to her said something, and Onyx just then noticed Dallas Ross. Ophelia lost her balance while laughing and began to fall to her right, but Ross seized her arm and pulled her up, causing her to collide with his flesh. The minute their bodies collided, a strong need to protect and tear Ross apart, away from her overwhelmed him. The car drove past them at that moment and he saw everything from close.
