Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

I was with Adrian, enjoying the time I was spending with him without even bothering about the side glances and talks we were getting from students around when he suddenly got a message.

“I’ll be right back. Don’t leave your spot.” Was all he said before he left me standing alone in the hall.

After he had left, Sandy walked up to me like she had been waiting for him to leave.

“Where’s he going?” She asked curiously.

“I don’t know. It seemed urgent but he’ll be back soon.” I explained and she nodded her head in understanding.

We started talking about other things. It wasn’t up to two minutes before I noticed Marcus walking up to us. He greeted Sandy first before greeting me, then he turned his attention back to Sandy like she was the only person in the hall.

It was pretty obvious that he was very smitten about Sandy but she can’t even see that. All she sees is a boy that needs her help with his studies but he doesn’t seem to want to give her up any time soon. After tonight, I doubt he’ll ever be able to approach Sandy this way. I made sure of that.

“How’s the prom going for you Sandy??” He asked.

“Surprisingly well.” Sandy answered immediately. I could see his expression morph into that of hurt. Probably because she’s enjoying the party after rejecting his offer to be her date.

He looked really pitiful and I almost sympathized with him when I remembered Hillary. She’s in love with Hillary already and he seems to be too. So sorry Marcus but Sandy is already taken.

He opened his mouth and was about to say something when he was interrupted by the MC.

“Good evening everyone. I want to officially welcome you all to Crescent High’s annual prom event.” Series of screams and loud shouts followed the moment he said that.

They were mostly from us seniors as this was going to be our last prom in this school. Time really goes by so fast. It wasn’t that long ago that I entered this school as a fresher and now, in a few months I’d be out of it.

I’m going to admit it, even though I don’t like most of the people here, I’m really going to miss this school. Well, most especially all of the dramas, feuds and popularity I have here.

“Can I have your attention please.” The MC said and all of the noise died down immediately.

“Before we go further into the main event, I would like to introduce someone to you all. He’s the one the celebrities funding this event and he even took his time to grace this occasion. He’s none other than the famous Adrian Montgomery.” Screams filled the air when the MC announced Adrian’s name.

I smiled softly. Is this what he was planning when he cane here without any form of disguise? He’s really unpredictable as always.

“Adrian’s here??” One said.

“But his name wasn’t added to the list of sponsors.” Another said.

“What do you think would happen now that his supposed wife brought another date here.”

“He’s really going to loose it.” More whispers followed as everyone started staring at me like I’m some kind of disease.

“If only they know who he actually is?” Sandy whispered making me chuckle.

Everyone was waiting patiently for him to show his face. Finally, he emerged from the backstage and climbed unto the podium. Everywhere became dead quiet the moment they saw who he truly was.

I could see how dumbfounded they all looked and that made me chuckle within me. No one was expecting my date to be my husband. He collected the microphone from the MC and cleared his throat before saying;

“Before I say whatever I what to say, I would like to introduce you all to the person that made all these possible. Please welcome my darling wife; Ariel Montgomery.” He said and all of a suddenly, a spotlight was pointed at me.

“I love you so much baby.” He said and the whole crowd literally went crazy with a lot of screams from all of the students around.

They were all surprised but still really happy to be in the presence of a big shot like Adrian. The only thing I could do at that moment was blow him a very shy kiss and he playfully caught it making the crowd scream out again.

“I never knew that he was this handsome.” One lady said.

“Added to being very wealthy and powerful, he’s a hottie as well. Ariel’s very lucky.” Her companion replied.

“Very, I wish I had the same luck that she has. I would never want to leave if I manage to be his wife.” The first lady added.

“Even though it’s just being his mistress, I wouldn’t mind.” The last comment got my attention.

“A lot of ladies can try but there will always and forever be just one woman for Adrian.” I said to them making their faces turn green in envy.

I smirked at them before turning my attention back to Adrian. He finished his speech immediately before he climbed down from the podium and walked towards me. Our gaze were locked and we acted like there was no one else in the hall apart from us.

Seeing us in that position, Sandy figured it would be a very good idea to help us take it to the next level so she started chanting;This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!” It wasn’t that long before the rest students followed suit.

“I guess we have to do what they want.” Adrian said to me before he pulled me closer to him and placed his soft lips on mine, engaging me in a very passionate kiss.

************************************

Sandy had a very wide smile and a look of admiration on her face as she watched Ariel and Adrian being all lovey dovey with each other. Who woukd have thought that a day would come when the great Ariel would fall deeply in love with someone.

When Sandy realised that they weren’t going to stop anytime soon, she decided to leave them to enjoy their time together. She went over to another spot and sat down. She was about to take a dip from her drink when;

“Sandy.” She heard someone call and was surprised to see Hillary standing in front of her.

“I hope I’m not late.” He said as he smiled at her, showing off his set of white teeth. Sandy stared at him in surprise, she really wasn’t expecting him there.

“Hil… Hillary..” She stuttered out in shock.

“The one and only.” He muttered and was about to walk closer to her when Marcus came into the picture.

“Sandy.” He called, turning her attention to him.

“I need to speak with you.” He said. Sandy opened her mouth but no words could come out. She didn’t know who to entertain first, Marcus or Hillary. At that moment, she was in a really dilemma.

************************************

Lucas had jealousy and pure rage written over his face as he watched Bianca hug the unknown man passionately. He thought about who the man could be but he couldn’t figure out as he had never seen him before.

His rage increased when the man hugged Bianca back. Why was someone touching what was his?? He felt really pained as he watched them busy enjoying each other’s warmth.

He never expected that Bianca would move on this quickly. He had thought that she would be welcome him back in open arms when he was done with his revenge but that wasn’t what it looked like at that point.

That was the moment he realized that he had lost Bianca forever.
