One Night With The Billionaire

Chase just stared at her speechless. He desperately wishes for it. More than her, he wants to own Rosalinda body and soul and make her his woman for real.

His desire is to walk the aisle with her. To make her his legal wife. But she doesn’t want him anymore. She might still be in love with him, but she doesn’t want to have anything to do with him

She still sees him through the eyes of a playboy. The inhumane treatment he dished out to her when she was pregnant with his child was still fresh in her memory.

He wants to straighten things out between them. To make it up to her for the times he made her suffer and cried. But the door of her heart has been shut towards him

That bastard might be screwing her and they might be together but she used to love him and somehow, he felt she still loves and cares about him in the centre of her heart.

Seeing her father is not responding, Bella pressed further “Linda is a good woman. She loves me and she doesn’t have a boyfriend.

And since you don’t have a girlfriend, can’t you make her your girlfriend and both of you will be my parents? Eli has daddy and his mommy, but I don’t have a mommy…”

Chase sighed. He held Bella’s palm in his. She doesn’t understand the things of the heart yet. She doesn’t understand that it takes two to be lovers.

“She might not be interested in me. I really want to have her and make her your mommy but she might want to be with someone else” Chase responded.

“Don’t you have a girlfriend before?” Eli asked. His uncle will always come over to his parents place, have dinner, breakfast or talk with his parents but he has never brought his girlfriend.

“I do. I used to have a lot of friends. But no more. I only want to have one girlfriend but she’s not interested in me anymore. She loves someone else” Chase summarised.

“Did you both fight with each other?” Eli asked. Why wouldn’t any woman want to be with his uncle? He is a very good man.

“Yes. Let’s say I hurt her but I regretted what I did. I pleaded with her to forgive me but she wouldn’t” Chase responded.

“Since she doesn’t want to be with you, my friend Linda would like you. She definitely would” Bella chipped in.

Chase felt he would have a cerebral haemorrhage. How can he tell her that the woman he is talking about is her Linda, Rosalinda for the full.

“What’s that woman’s name?” Eli asked. He doesn’t know who Linda is. Bella has been telling him about her. She might be a good woman but the one his uncle wants would be great too.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Her name is Rosalinda,” Chase answered. How he wishes Bella’s little brain will make the connection. That Linda is probably a shorter form of Rosalinda. But she’s a little girl, she might not connect it together.

Bella was quiet. Oh gosh. Rosalinda? What a coincidence that her dad’s true love shares almost a similar name with her Linda. If she removes the word ‘Rosa’, they both will answer the name Linda.

On their way home, Chase was unusually quiet. They had a nice time together. He took them to a boutique and bought them clothes and the latest designers for kids.

But he would smile and sometimes laugh, he was simply sharing in their excitement. But Inside of him was hollow, empty and filled with unhappiness.

When they are not laughing, his unhappiness becomes visible on his face. He missed a part in him. Only Rosalinda can fill that vacuum.

Should he give it a shot one more time? What if she humiliates him? What if she yelled at him and told him that she doesn’t love him and she’s with someone else?

He can’t take humiliation and rejection easily. It usually makes him lose face and ego. He really doesn’t know what to do at the moment.

“Are you alright daddy?” Bella asked. She saw her dad’s eyes reddened. He became sad but he’s not saying anything.

“Oh my goodness!” Eli exclaimed, clasping his chubby hands together “Uncle is fine, he only needs a girlfriend. Just bring Linda to him already” he concluded helplessly.

“Eli!” Chase exclaimed. He couldn’t find another word to say again. He seemed to be out of vocabulary to scold his nephew.

At home that night, Eli and Bella were in their rooms. Chase went to each of them and gave them good night kisses.

Before leaving Bella’s room , an idea struck him: “Did you place a goodnight call to Linda?” Chase asked.

Eli was right earlier in the day. He needs a girlfriend. Maybe Bella would be the ladder to bring them together. He would be using her henceforth.

“I don’t usually tell her good night. It would be odd to do that tonight” Bella shook it off.

“Common baby, there’s always a first time to everything. Besides, didn’t you say she’s a good person? She’s not going to be upset with you” Chase declared flippantly.

Bella immediately got out of bed. She went to the corridor and picked up the phone. Chase was happy. If only his daughter can help him get Rosalinda back.

“Little puny,” Roseland said as soon as she answered the phone. Bella is still awake at this time? Isn’t Chase home to have cautioned her and ordered her to go to bed.

“Hello Linda. Are you still awake?” Bella asked. She yawned and stretched her hand. Her daddy had coaxed her to call Linda. She probably would have been sleeping already.

“No, Bella. Big girls don’t sleep at the same time chicken sleeps” Rosalinda responded, causing the little girl on the other end to giggle aloud.

“That means I am a big girl too. I was still awake when my daddy came to give me a goodnight kisses” Bella chimed. If sleeping late means one is a big girl, she’s definitely a big girl now.

“You are definitely a big sweet girl, puny” Rosalinda chimed, placing emphasis on the word ‘puny’ , a big girl that’s actually a puny. Then she asked “Did your daddy know you are calling me this late?” She asked.

Chase that wouldn’t let his daughter invite her to his Mansion, will never allow his daughter to talk to her this late. But is he seeing Bella’s mother?

“Yes. He persuaded me to call you when he came to my room. I think my daddy has agreed to our friendship” Bella replied triumphantly.

Rosalinda lost it. Chase persuaded his daughter to talk to her? What is happening to him? Did he develop a soft spot for her now?

“Wow, that’s awesome. Send my regards to him. Is your mommy in the Mansion with your daddy?” Rosalinda asked. Her curiosity will get her into trouble one of these days. Too curious to know about Chase’s affairs.

For God’s sake, what is her business with who he sees or doesn’t see? Why does she get goosebumps and furious each time she imagines Chase is having sex with someone else.

She’d left him in body but her heart and soul is still attached to him. Who is going to help her out of this predicament she placed herself in?
