One Night With The Billionaire

Richard nodded and sat properly. He glared at his parents. They are a family of three but the love that bound them together is stronger than the strongest cord ever.

Nothing is going to take place without their collective decision. His parents are definitely going to take a decision or embark on a mission and need to get his consent and opinion.

“I have discussed with your mom already and she already supported my idea. I need your consent as well. You are my first family and the most important people in my life” Adrian regarded.

“You still haven’t told me anything yet. What do you need my opinion on?” Richard asked, already yawning and feeling exhausted from the day’s experience and work.

“I know Richard. I am intending to run for the office of the prime minister” Adrian broke the news to his son. He glared at Richard, waiting for what his reactions would be.

Richard’s lips parted and he couldn’t help but smiled broadly. He didn’t say anything but was happy. He’s interested in what his parents, his dad to be precise, intends to do.

His two tenures as a Senator was one of the best tenures the citizens of Z-City would never forget. They daily wished for Senator Adrian Delmark to rule them again and again and again for as long as he lived, only if that was ever going to be possible.

“You have my full support Dad. Congratulations dad. You are the best and you are my one and most valued role model..”Richard chimed.

“Thank you, son. You and your mom are my strongest support in this life. And I’m glad you are with me this time again. And together, we will succeed” Adrian said and kissed his wife.

Richard Smiled. His parents were the most lovely couple he’s ever known. He wished that he and Genesis loved each other forever like his parents are to each other.

Tayo Dante called Jace Hudson. She’s been trying hard to talk to him but the latter wouldn’t answer his phone. He was not interested in being pestered around by any woman.

And to think it is that woman Tayo, he ignored her and next, placed her on his black list. He’s deciding to apologise to Arianna and plead with her to accept him.

So, whatever false hope her parents and his parents had given to her doesn’t concern him. They should find a way to sort themselves out.

Seeing that Jace wouldn’t answer his phone whenever she calls, Tayo threw her phone against the wall. Flora Dante was staring at her sister and pouted her lips.

“Don’t let your temper take the hold of you, Tayo. Mom already told you that no matter what happened, hide your temperament until that man slips a ring through your fingers” Flora coaxed.

“But he’s not here. I can vent my anger however I like. How dare that stupid arrogant brat ignore my calls, who the hell does he think he is?” Tayo flared up.

If it hadn’t been because her parents pleaded with her to get entangled with the eldest master of the Hudson family, what on Earth would she be doing with that guy?

She loves men hovering over her, pleading to kiss her palm, not some men that she has to pursue in a fake crush. She doesn’t have time for such nonsense.

“You at least know why dad and mom want you to be married to Jace Hudson? Business is going down and that’s the best way to secure a forever wealth for us. Just do it, for us” Flora Dante pleaded.

“What if that woman attracts him? He might want to reward her by marrying her” Tayo complained. Then wouldn’t she look like the stupid one at the end of the day?

“Then pay the woman a visit in the hospital. Let her know you appreciate her kindness towards your fiance. You could give him a bracelet or a wristwatch and say Jace Hudson is your man.

That way, you have made it clear that the man is not available for entanglement. And at the same time, you make Jace know that you have paid a courtesy visit to the drama queen who almost got herself killed for Jace Hudson” Flora Dante suggested.

Tayo glared at her sister and soon nodded in satisfaction. Looks like her sister is a logical woman and has a smarter reasoning capacity than her.

“That would be better. But first, I need to know if she’s still alive or dead. But I wish it’s the latter” Tayo Dante declared.

“Just do that sis and your worries with the drama queen will be over. Meanwhile, pretend to be persistent, not blowing up your covers by allowing him to see how temperamental you are” Flora advised and Tayo said okay.

That night, Jace was restless, Arianna saved his life. Is that how people die, he would definitely have been dead if Arianna didn’t save his life, would he have been in the morgue.

He sobbed silently in the quietness of his bedroom. After all he’s done to her, she still saved him? How can he ever be able to reward her for her generous act, not minding her own safety.

He will love her unconditionally. He owns her his life now and will only please her henceforth. Never will she come to hurt from him or anyone else in Z-City.

But then, who is the fellow who wants him dead and why? Besides business competitors, he cannot say exactly who else he might have crossed.

As soon as the scoundrel regains consciousness, he would make him cough out the truth. Even if it means displaying his brutality.

His phone chirped and from the ring tone, he knew Chase was the one calling. He answered the phone almost immediately.

“Jace, how are you feeling now?” Chase asked, worried about his brother’s emotional state. He knew Jace was blaming himself for Arianna’s current state.

“Not in the slightest way better” Jace replied in a tone like a whisper. He doesn’t feel alright that Arianna was lying on that hospital bed because of him.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t blame yourself Jace. She will be alright and would definitely be happy that you appreciate her effort. It’s entirely not your fault. What has happened has happened and Arianna is not dead.

That’s what gives me that excitement. She will be alright and after a few weeks, she will be back on her feet and whatever has happened now, will be the forgotten thing..” Chase explained.

Jace thanked him and told him that he would be going to the police station the next morning to give his statement. He deliberately avoided going there that evening.

“Do you have an idea who the attacker was?” Chase asked.
