One Night With The Billionaire

Arianna’s eyes were fastened on Richard and the latter stared back at her speechless.

Jace Hudson glanced at Arianna and saw her cold eyes staring at Richard. She seemed to be furious with her brother.

“Why are you warning me as if I’ve ever done something wrong to your friend?” Richard asked.

“Because I’m trying to see beyond your words and I’m afraid for her. If you do anything to hurt her because of the bottled up feeling you still have for your ex, I won’t forgive you, I repeat” Arianna dared him.

The two siblings glared at each other. Richard stood up and walked out but just as he stepped out a scene played before him and what they heard next was Richard’s voice.

“Tessa!!!”

It was filled with exclamation. It meant something terrible had happened. A cold shiver ran through Arianna’s spine and every one of them stood up.

When they rushed out, they saw Genesis placed her hand on her chest in fright and bent over, glancing down the stairs.

They stepped out in time to find Richard rushing down the stairs. They didn’t wait but descended along with him and met him holding Tessa in his arms.

She had fainted and was bleeding. Richard had completely forgotten himself in a haste and held Tessa so tight, kissing her temple.

He rose up and carried Tessa straight out of the door into his car and drove off. Arianna turned and saw Genesis’ head had been wounded and she was bleeding as well.

The side of her temple was swollen red and her nose was bleeding. She couldn’t even say anything. Arianna went to her and said “I’ll take you to the hospital”

“Senator and Mrs Delmark. Please, it’s late. Return home. I will take care of the whole incident” Jace pleaded.

He was the one that invited them. Whatever has happened, it would be his sole responsibility.

“No, it’s only normal that we come along with you” Adrian Delmark rebuffed. He didn’t know what to say to the drama before them.

Tessa fell down the stairs and fainted. Genesis was wounded and bleeding as well. This is complicated. He needed to have the puzzle solved and know what exactly happened.

“No Senator. You should take ma’am home. You know your reputation and your political success shouldn’t be dented. So I will keep you updated. Just go home” Jace insisted until the couple agreed.

Jace got in his car and drove away. Genesis just placed her head on the back rest. Her eyes were dizzy. She didn’t understand that attitude of Richard a while ago.

He kissed Tessa and took her away and didn’t even spare her a glance. What is happening?

“Genesis” Arianna called. She had been calling her at intervals to be sure she was still awake.

Genesis nodded but did not say anything. She was feeling pain. Tessa almost killed her.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Arianna saw Gene’s neck was red and fingerprints were imprinted on it. What really happened? Were they both fighting?

They arrived at the hospital shortly after Richard arrived with Tessa. He was pacing back and forth. Worriness written all over him.

He didn’t see when Arianna took Genesis to the first aid section and her wound was treated.

“You might be having internal bruises as a result of the force exerted on the spot. What actually happened?” The doctor asked.

“It was an accident, a minor one. I hit my head against the surface” Genesis explained. She cannot tell anyone that her boyfriend’s ex did that to her.

“You will be booked for an x-ray and then we can know the level of treatment to give you” The doctor explained.

An hour later, Genesis went towards the emergency unit. She was going to see Tessa and Richard.

But stepping in, they saw Richard bent over Tessa and kissed her temple. She was awake. She didn’t sustain any injury besides a few bruises.

“Richard” Arianna called.

He simply turned and glanced back at them. He wasn’t remorseful at all but glared at Genesis. He stood up and said “Why did you do this, Genesis?” Richard asked.

“Is she alright?” Genesis asked rather. She looked beyond Richard to Tessa. This woman is sly. Only now did she know how ambitious she was.

Tessa glared at Genesis. She saw her swollen bandaged temple. That served her right. Now, the battle line has been drawn. She would get Richard back or never.

She smirked and rolled her eyes in mockery. Thank goodness, Richard couldn’t see her.

“You really want to know how she’s doing, Genesis. You almost got her killed. You pushed her down the stairs simply because you are jealous of her presence around me?

How can you do that? Your obsession is getting a hold of your self control and the only thing that can pacify you is to murder her, right?” Richard bellowed.

“You can’t jump to a conclusion like that. You take a look at Genesis, she’s also hurt. Let’s listen to what happened on both sides” Arianna corrected.

“I won’t stand here to listen to Genesis. Tessa had told me everything and I don’t want to hear a word from her. But I am disappointed at your meanness, Genesis” Richard snapped at her.

“Looks like you have made up your mind to believe her words without doubting it, right? Then there’s no need to say anything again” Genesis seethed.

Richard just looked away. He didn’t reply to Genesis’ words. He is too furious with her. Tessa would have lost her life a while ago.

“Tessa looked okay to me. You should keep your distance. Your actions towards her appear a bit improper” Arianna declared.

Twice they’ve seen Richard behaving like a real boyfriend to Tessa. She can’t be calm if she was in Genesis’ shoes.

“I am not married to Genesis yet. I do not owe her anything or obligation. We are friends and lovers and I can choose to do whatever I like with whoever I choose. I’m not committed to her” Richard snapped at her.

Arianna said nothing again.

Genesis went home. Arianna and Jace went to drop her off. She was sad but said nothing. Richard doesn’t want to even listen to her.

The doctor said she should come to the hospital the next morning. That seemed better to her. She’s pleased to return home and rest rather than spending the night with those lovers.

She only has one question to ask Richard. She would ask him that question and that would be final.

Who does he love the most, she or Tessa?
