One Night With The Billionaire

Jace suspended what he was doing and was heading towards Chase’s office. If he doesn’t ask his brother the question bothering him, his blood will keep boiling.

Chase has just settled into his seat and heard the door pushed open suddenly without as much as a knock on the door.

He raised his head to look in the direction of the door and saw his brother’s long legs by the door way, he was glaring at Chase with hostility.

“Is there a problem, Jace?” Chase asked, confused at why his brother would just stand by the doorway and not come in, staring at him as if he had stolen his cherished asset.

“CEO Jace Hudson. That’s how you refer to me officially” Jace corrected, took a few strides in and stood with his hands in his pants pocket.

Chase chuckled. CEO Jace Hudson? When did he start calling his brother by the official title? Whatever, he nodded. He definitely had come over to discuss something with him, only God knows what that thing might be.

“You should watch your closeness with Miss Arianna Jason. The employees are finding more reasons to gossip about her and I don’t like it. Besides, you know the relationship I have with her, right?”Jace Hudson bellowed.

Chase sighed softly. He glanced up at his brother and asked “If I may ask, CEO Jace Hudson, is there something else you came here to talk to me about besides what you just said?” Chase asked.

Only he knew how he was restraining himself from bursting out in laughter. Such a jealous guy. He saw him and Arianna and didn’t know what they talked about.

He had come to warn him to stay away from Arianna but used a tactical official ground in saying it. He should have believed him way farther than this.

“Nothing else” Jace answered scarcely. He glared at Chase and knew he understood beyond his words.

“You shouldn’t have bothered coming over. A call or text would have done it. Why take the pain of coming over?” Chase said sarcastically.

“I am not complaining so don’t get unnecessarily bothered, okay?” Jace fumed and eyed him.

As he walked out, Chase Hudson laughed quietly. Oh Jace. He is so unpredictable sometimes. Oh his dear life, he can’t possibly be thinking immoral about his brother’s girlfriend and the mother of his nephew.

As Jace returned to his office, he met Daisy Rumero’s lawyer waiting to see him.

“… of all the men in Hilton City, you decide to be with that promiscuous man? What were you thinking, Rosa, when you allowed yourself to be sweet tongued by that man?

You have brought me low. I have lost face before my friends and neighbours. You are pregnant outside wedlock and that alone is shameful.

But it is more appalling to know that the man whose child you are carrying is not one who is ready to raise a family. He is the least of the men whose thoughts cross my mind.

But I will not be quiet anymore. Now that I know the scumbag who kicked his baby into you, I will go and find him. I will locate him and talk senses into him.

And if he isn’t ready to take up his responsibility, I will go to his parents and let them know that the scumbag of a son they gave birth to, has to be responsible for my daughter till the child is born or weaned…” Mrs Pricillia declared.

The woman sniffled and cleaned her tears. Rosalinda is gainfully employed and well paid. Chase couldn’t have lured her with his wealth and class.

How can her daughter be so naive to be deceived? In her twenty three years of existence, can someone really do this to her?

“No mommy. Don’t go. I have told him I won’t bother him about the baby again. He is no longer a part of the child’s life” Rosalinda pleaded.

“Just shut up, Rosalinda. Don’t even try to persuade me okay? Because if you try, it will only be an empty persuasion” Pricillia affirmed.

Rosalinda sighed in helplessness. Now that her mom has known who the father of her baby is, another phase of confrontation is about to ensue.

And this time, it isn’t going to be between Herself and Chase. It’s likely to be between her mother, Chase and Hudson’s parents.

She didn’t bargain for this. But it was happening. She prays for strength to take on the challenges ahead. She’s weak already and the only thing that concerns her the most in this world right now, is her baby being born healthy and alive.

“I’m sorry Attorney, you don’t have to talk to me directly, you can talk to my lawyer. She’s to pay the sum of money and there isn’t anything you can do about it” Jace Hudson declared.

“I haven’t come to say anything, Mr Hudson. I have come for a peaceful talk and plead on behalf of my client that you should accept all she could get and I believe in your large and generous heart that you will accept it sir” the attorney solicited.

Jace Hudson glared at the attorney. He is such a wise man. His words had touched a soft spot in him and he might compromise on his words, just this once.

“I don’t need your client’s money to become who I am. She should tread gently wherever she hears my name. And for compromise, talk to my attorney and let him know that you’ve talked to me, first” Jace declared.

The attorney appreciated it and stood up. Walking into an organisation and disrupting the process of work and creating chaos and attracting a crowd is subject to legal actions.

Mrs Daisy should learn to behave herself next time. CEO Jace Hudson isn’t as tough as he thought. He has a human heart behind that flesh covering his rips.

When the attorney left, Jace’s mind lingered back to Arianna. An invitation popped up on Arianna’s system, she’s being invited by the CEO.

She sighed, and stood up. When she arrived at Jace’s door, she knocked and the deep masculine voice answered from within, telling her to come in.

“I’m here , CEO Jace,” Arianna announced. She stared at Jace and the latter fixed his gaze on her as if he wasn’t the one she was talking to.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Sit” Jace declared and Arianna nodded, taking her seat opposite Jace. She had a poker face on and pretended not to have an idea of what Jace had invited her over for.

“Are you really leaving me?” Jace asked, playing with the pen in his hand.
