One Night With The Billionaire

Jace Hudson glared at her. Still not convinced with her explanation. A part of him tells him to believe her and another part of him tells him to not.

Ethan was being tongue lashed by Daisy when he got home. He just doesn’t know why she doubted him so much. How can she think that he would cheat?

“How can you return to your ex, Ethan? Why are you doing this to me? I have loved only you Ethan. How can you do that to me?” Daisy asked.

“You know Arianna is not someone like that. So how can you conceive that foolish idea that I cheated on you with her?” Ethan defended.

“Then tell me, what is a grown man like you doing with Arianna in her apartment at the time you were supposed to be at lunch with me?

You’re both grown up and above that, you were once in love with each other. She’s your ex Ethan. It only means you both have ganged up on me to betray me” Daisy quarrelled.

“Are you talking from experience?” Ethan snapped at her and stood up. She now sees Arianna as a dirty woman like herself. No doubt, her fears were conceived out of her own past act and lewdness.

“How dare you, Ethan. You are insulting me” Daisy bellowed, going after him and yelling out his name.

Rosalinda was unable to say a word for hours after Mike brought her home. She only took solace in her tears and cried all day.

Her eyes had become puffy and red. She was weak and couldn’t explain how she felt internally. But somehow, she knew her baby was going to be affected if she didn’t cheer herself up.

“Can you just tell me what is wrong with you, Rosa?” Pricillia asked, already suspecting that her daughter was pregnant.

“I don’t feel like talking, Mom,” Rosalinda answered. She doesn’t know how her mother would accept it when she hears that she’s pregnant.

“You could have just said yes or no. It would have been less stressful for you than making a sentence” Pricillia reprimanded her daughter.

She would give her some time. If she doesn’t tell her what exactly is wrong with her, she would invite the doctor over.

Later that night, Jace joined Arianna in bed. He was still aloof but didn’t say anything about the whole incident again. He laid his head on the pillow and glanced sideways at Arianna.

She was still awake and her face was filled with remorse. He sighed softly and just faced the ceiling as he said “Richard has resigned from the hospital”

“Why?” Arianna asked. How can a doctor resign? Isn’t the life of a doctor committed to saving lives? Or could it be that he has found a better offer?

“He’s your friend, when you see him , ask him Why?” Jace replied casually and continued ” He also invited us to the special dining this weekend. You and I” he informed her and turned his back to her.

“Venue?” Arianna asked.

“His parents’ home. He is Senator Delmark’s son” Jace replied, still with his back to her. He wanted to hold her in his arms and kissed her lips but he was restraining himself.

“Oh really? I didn’t know he was the son of that great man. Senator Adrian Delmark is a good man and during his tenure as a senator, he has a good record, transparent and honest. I look forward to meeting him” Arianna chimed.

“Mm.. mm” Jace grunted. He didn’t know she’s good at politics either. But he was not interested in talking to her too much. He wants her to regret it, lying to him.

“That reminds me, you said Chase is aware that I will be resuming back to office. Will I be working with him directly or with you?” She asked.

“That’s official. When you get to the office tomorrow, occupy whatever office you are given” Jace snapped at her. She would work directly with him. He had thought she would be working with Chase, but after what she’s done, she would be with him directly.

“Okay” Arianna said and turned herself to face his back. She moved closer and let her body rest on Jace’s back. She caressed his hair and said “I’m sorry darling, please forgive me” she apologised again.

Jace sighed softly. She forgave him, he also would. He knew it but would be careful about trusting her so much.

“Do you love me?” He asked. She’s said she loves him though. “Of course. I’ve said it already that I love you. I do, Jace, I love you” Arianna replied.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Do you lie to someone you love?” He asked further. Love us transparent and honest. The major sign that you are not in love like you claim is being untruthful and keeping secrets.

“No,” Arianna replied simply. Then Jace turned to face her. He glared at her and asked again “Then why did you lie to me? You don’t know me that much, right?”

“I knew I was wrong. I’m sorry” Arianna answered. She carefully raised her hand and caressed his bearded jaw. His face was smooth and cute. He really takes care of his skin like a woman.

Jace nodded. “It’s alright. But please, don’t do it again” he instructed. The hostile gaze on his face was replaced with calmness.

“I promise, on my life” Arianna said. She smiled now and Jace hived a smile. He pulled her closer and kissed her.

“Why are you behaving like a woman?” Arianna teased. She giggled out in happiness. Jace had let it go.

“When you choose to act like a man. What other options do I have?” He replied, chuckling and caressing her hair.

He crashed his lips on hers and kissed her sweetly.

The next morning, Arianna got dressed up. She chose to dress in a beautiful turquoise suit on pants. She made her hair into a ponytail and applied a moderate amount of makeup on.

For the first time, Jace saw her beauty from a different perspective. He was dazed as she glared at her. Has she always been this beautiful when she came before him in his office?
