One Night With The Billionaire

“Oh, sorry!” Chase mumbled, coming over and taking the glass of coffee away from her. He gently caressed her back and Rosalinda shook his hand off.

“Naughty boy” she snorted and almost immediately chuckled aloud. She took her coffee away from him and took another sip. Chase is something else.

“Yeah, naughtier than you used to know” he teased, kissing her earlobe. Rosalinda felt a cold shiver run through her spine. Such things could easily turn her on.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

She used her elbow to push Chase off and he chuckled aloud before announcing “I’ll get your dress from downstairs” and dashed out.

As soon as he shut the door behind, Rosalinda placed her coffee down. Has Chase really turned a new leaf? Does he usually act sweet and romantic like this?

Meanwhile Pricillia Black was sobbing. She shut her daughter out in the storm because she brought her family low. Rosalinda pushed her to the point where she acted inhuman towards her.

What’s there about that boy Chase that she couldn’t stay away from? Not everything that passes under a woman’s nostril that she will possess.

Her motherhood emotions prevailed against her and just before midnight, she opened the door to let her daughter in and saw that she’s not at the door.

She got an umbrella and stepped out “Rosa! Rosa dear!” She called but no response. She looked around and Rosalinda was not anywhere around.

The storm had now subsided. Mike knew when his Mom stepped out and he soon followed her. He saw his mother’s worried expression and sighed softly.

“You’d better come in, Mom. What were you thinking when you shut my sister out? You think she would remain here through the entire storm? She definitely would have passed out if she did.

I’m only concerned that she hadn’t gone to find solace under Chase Hudson’s shelter. I don’t want to imagine what that bastard would do with her” Mike snorted.

That swine would take advantage of her however he wants if she ends up in his place. Why is this happening to them for heaven’s sake?

Pricillia glared at her son. No, Rosalinda cannot be so stupid to end up in the same guy’s place, the one for which her family scolded her for.

“Rosalinda is a wise girl. She won’t dare return to Chase” Pricillia assured herself and got back into her apartment. She took her phone and dialled her daughter’s contact but alas, the phone rang right inside the sitting room.

“She doesn’t have her phone with her?” Pricillia asked a rhetorical question. She glanced at Mike in panic and the latter shrugged helplessly.

“… what exactly happened that you ended up in the storm? I dropped you off at home by myself, so what happened?” Chase asked as soon as the doctor left.

The doctor had examined Rosalinda and wrote some prescriptions for her. Chase had one of his bodyguards get the medication from a pharmacy and finally decided to get down to the business of asking her questions.

“Let’s not talk about it. I was stranded in the storm and I called you for help. You came and that’s enough…” Rosalinda responded.

Chase just stared at her unmoved by her reply. Does she think he would just forget about it because she said so? She must cough out what really happened.

“You give me an answer to my question. What happened that you ended up being drenched in the storm?” Chase asked again, this time his tone was hard and determined for an answer.

Rosalinda didn’t respond to him. She stood up and wanted to walk out when Chase grabbed her by the wrist “You are going to walk out on me?

I can deduce what happened. Your family threw you out because Mike saw us together right? And it was so quick and sudden that you couldn’t even come along with your phone.

You allowed yourself to be bullied because of me and you took it as a test of your love for me. Isn’t that what happened? If I am wrong, I stand to be corrected…”

Rosalinda stared into his eyes. She couldn’t hold back her tears. Her eyes went cloudy with tears and soon, the tears ran down her cheeks. He got it right.

Chase has always been a smart guy. He understood everything without her voicing a word of it out. He read her mind and knew exactly what happened.

She sniffled, her airway seemed to be choked, she opened her mouth slightly to allow her breath through the mouth. Her gaze is still on Chase.

The latter kept his gaze on her as well. This time, it wasn’t only Rosalinda who sobbed, but he felt a weight of guilt on his shoulders.

His eyes went red. He saw her tears, her sacrifice and her defence of love. His heart opened up deeper to love her.

He pulled her into an embrace and hugged her tightly. This will never happen to her again. As long as he lives, Rosalinda would no longer be wounded and hurt because of her love for him.

“You won’t cry anymore Rosalinda. I won’t let you cry anymore because of me. As long as I breathe, your tears have ended…” Chase promised.

Rosalinda sniffled and swallowed hard. His words were sweet. She hopes it’s true. She wished he would go through with his words and promise to her.

“I want you to do something for me. It’s a favour and don’t say no. Please, don’t say no” Chase Hudson stuttered. Nothing is stopping them now, he wants them to be bonded.

“Just say it” Rosalinda declared. Whether she says yes or no, it won’t make any sense until he says whatever is in his mind.

“Marry me today Rosa, please marry me” Chase pleaded. He felt Rosalinda’s body stiffened. She wasn’t expecting him to propose to her so soon and ask for her hand in marriage.

There was silence and Chase coaxed her further “it appeared so sudden, right? But in my heart, it’s not something that is sudden. After that miscarriage, I discovered that I love you very much.

My sleeping and waking thought was you. No other woman appeals to me anymore, it’s just you. I’ve been waiting for you to accept me back and now that you did, I want to get married already.

Please don’t say no, Rosalinda. I love you very much. I can’t live without you anymore. I promise to be a loyal and faithful man to you for the rest of my life.

I promise I will never cheat on you, hurt you or make you regret being my wife. I am a different man, from the Chase Hudson who flirts around in the past and it’s all narrowed down to my feelings for you.

Marry me Rosalinda, please give me the honour of being your husband and the father of your future kids. Please marry me..” Chase went on a kneel and held both of her hands.

Rosalinda’s complexion turned pale and she stared at the man who kneels before her, speechless.
