One Night With The Billionaire

Jace Hudson just stared at the closed door. He turned around and went away. His legs were heavy as he went back to the bedroom.

He just laid on the bed and caressed the part Arianna usually sleeps. He fucked up big time. How can he let Arianna leave his side?

He needs to apologise to her again and more sincerely. He cannot afford to lose her. He loves her but doesn’t know why he did what he did, especially not letting her touch him.

That night, Jace didn’t sleep early. He kept rolling from one side of the bed to the other. He called Arianna’s cell phone number and it ranged by the bedside.

There is no way he can reach or talk to her that night. He sighed, whatever happens, he knows she would definitely open the door the next morning.

Next morning, Arianna woke up to pain in her neck. She had slept on the floor and placed her head on the edge of the sofa. Her neck was sprained.

She has also caught a cold. What on earth made her sleep on the floor when there is a king size bed in the room?

She opened the door and went upstairs. When she got inside, Jace was all dressed in a blue Italian suit. He was putting on his shoes when Arianna walked in.

He paused what he was doing and glanced at her face. Her face was puffy with dark lines underneath her eyes. Looks like she didn’t have a good night’s sleep just like him.

He remembered the incident of the previous evening and felt guilty. He stood up quickly and was coming to hold Arianna in an embrace but the latter dodged it.

“Good morning” Arianna said casually and walked past him. Jace turned and allowed his eyes to linger after her.

“Good morning, my love,” Jace said. He went after her still, trying to initiate a conversation but Arianna didn’t give him a chance as she slipped into the bathroom and shut the door.

Is she really going to leave him like she said? How can he allow her to go, he loves her, he is certain about it. She may not see through his heart, but he knows that he loves her and cares a great deal about her.

He was going to wait for her, they needed to talk about the whole incident from the previous evening. Leaving him is never a solution. They are adults and parents as well.

Jace removed his suit and sat down on the sofa. He waited. When Arianna walked out of the bathroom with a towel around her chest, her upper body exposed and her legs, her thighs were also exposed.

As a matter of fact, Jace hadn’t seen her this way. The towel barely covers her ass giving a good glare of her body, just below the waist.

Her hair was tied up with a towel and she looked very fair and attractive. Jace just stared at her, unable to take his eyes off.

Arianna wasn’t expecting to meet Jace Hudson in the bedroom when she emerged from the bathroom. She saw him glaring at her body and hissed between gritted teeth.

Is he just getting to see her body now? Oh, she chuckled softly, her words to him had formatted and reset a certain part of him as a man.

She walked over to the closet but before shutting the door, Jace Hudson walked over and held the door. He walked into the closet with her and Arianna ignored him as she sat before the vanity mirror.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Jace Hudson stood behind her, looking at her through the mirror. He placed his hand on her shoulder and said “I’m sorry, my love. I’m really sorry” he apologised.

“I’m sick of hearing the words I’m sorry. You hurt me, humiliate me and even lash at me with your words and return to say sorry. Those words hold no substance to me anymore. I don’t value it when you use it again” Arianna snapped at him, throwing his hand off her shoulder.

“How else do I apologise to you, then? We are just getting to know each other and we would keep stepping on each other’s toes until we grow to a level of understanding. We both haven’t understood each other as supposed” Jace coaxed.

“You’re right. We haven’t understood each other as supposed. That’s why I am not supposed to be here. We need to get to a level in our relationship before I move in here.

Because as it is, you never accept my apologies since the moment you knew I was the one you had a one night stand with. Whenever I say sorry, you don’t understand it.

Until you realise that you do not have monopoly of knowledge, and that others can make mistakes and they should be forgiven when they say sorry, you don’t deserve that privilege as well” Arianna retorted.

Jace’s gaze was fixed on her, staring at her expressionlessly from the mirror. He didn’t say anything else but watched Arianna apply her beauty products on her body.

“Would you please excuse me?”Arianna asked. She was still wearing a frown and eyed Jace, glaring back at him from the mirror.

“What did you say?” Jace asked. Not that he didn’t hear what she said, he just wanted to linger more by her side.

“I need my privacy now, Jace Hudson,” Arianna repeated, sounding more harsh. He started it, now, she’s learnt to be harsh towards him too.

“Yeah, sure”He nodded and stepped out. He got his suit and went downstairs. Because he waited, he was running late. He had a light breakfast and left the house.

Arianna got dressed. Got her things into the suitcase and came downstairs. Jace had left. She had her breakfast and told Eli’s chauffeur to let her accompany Eli to school.

She got into the car with Eli. The servant brought her suitcase and placed it in her car trunk. Arianna told her chauffeur Jerome to drive the car and pick her from Eli’s school.

As Arianna sat with Eli, she took his hand and said “Eli baby, I want to tell you something, promise me that you will behave like the big boy that you have become?” She said, smiling broadly at him.

Eli glanced at his mom’s hand, and then her face and for a few minutes was quiet. His mommy wants him to promise her, of course, he would promise her and behave like a big boy.

He nodded and smiled back at his mother. Arianna kissed his temple and sighed softly.

“I’m leaving your daddy, Eli. But I’m sure he won’t stop me from seeing you or prevent you from coming over to my place. I’m sure he won’t.

But he still loves me. And I love him too. I might still come over to live in this house. But for now, we need to give each other some space. Okay?” Arianna explained.

She knew Eli might not understand what age meant. In fact, she isn’t expecting him to. But he won’t feel sad when he doesn’t see her for a while.

He once survived it, she sure knew he would survive it again. Jace needs space. His wounds are not totally healed yet. He needs to learn how to love and live with a woman.

“You want to leave my daddy and I again? You left me before and now, you are going to leave me again? You don’t love my daddy?” Eli asked.

Arianna opened her mouth but words suddenly became choked in her throat. She swallowed hard and held Eli’s hands, giving it a soft squeeze.

“Don’t think like that, honey” Arianna cautioned.
