One Night With The Billionaire

“Are you nuts, Tessa?” Richard snapped at her and threw her hand off his body. He glared at Tessa, his happy cheerful face turned ghostly.

“Hi dear” Tessa chimed. She glanced at Richard seductively and wanted to touch him but Richard held her hand firmly and looked around before letting her hand off violently.

“I am not your dear. And what the hell are you doing here?” Richard asked, snorting in disgust. He turned briefly and glanced towards Genesis and saw her staring at him in fury.

Before Tessa could answer Richard turned to glance at Jace “CEO Jace, have me excused” He said and walked Tessa out, holding her by her upper arm.

Jace glared at them and looked away. Just then Senator Adrian Delmark and his wife walked over. “It’s my honour to have you here, CEO Jace Hudson” he said, stretching his hand for a handshake.

“My pleasure, Senator Delmark,” Jace Hudson replied, taking his hand. The two men smiled broadly at each other. The younger and the older man seemed to linger in each other’s hand.

“My wife, Jane Delmark” Adrian Delmark introduced and Jace kissed her chin. “Nice meeting you, Jace Hudson,” Jane said, smiling.

“My pleasure, Mrs Delmark” Jace said and added “you are a very beautiful woman, Ma’am, Mo wonder Richard is a cute guy” Jace complimented.

“Thank you” Jane Delmark appreciated.

Adrian Delmark looked around and said “I thought Richard said you will be coming with his friend Arianna?” He asked.

“We’re here together. She’s a big fan of yours and had been eager to meet you” Jace declared and looked in the direction where Genesis stood with Arianna.

Arianna was giggling, her head slightly bent, teasing Genesis that she’s jealous that her boyfriend is going to have a private talk with his ex.

Adrian and Jane Delmark saw the two ladies. They know Genesis already. It only implies that the other woman is Arianna. They’ve been eager to meet her, especially Jane.

But her physique and figure reminds them of someone they used to know. The couple exchanged glances and said “don’t bother the ladies, we’ll just walk up to them” Adrian suggested.

When Genesis saw Senator Adrian and his wife walking towards them with Jace, she tucked at Arianna to look up. She did and saw Jace and Senator Adrian Delmark.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

She smiled. She walked towards them, she and Genesis and met them midway. Adrian felt his heartbeat usually. He usually feels that way when something is about to happen.

Jane suddenly felt her knees wobble. She held Adrian and the latter understood. It took Jane so much effort to walk around without a walker. He held her, by Crossing his hand around her waist romantically.

“My girlfriend, Arianna Jason,” Jace introduced. He glanced at Arianna and saw the excitement in her eyes. It’s her desire that comes true.

“Nice meeting you Senator and Mrs Adrian Delmark” Arianna said. She said, smiling broadly at the couple. Finally she’s got to meet Richard’s parents. The couple look lovely together.

“My pleasure,”Adrian Delmark stuttered. He kept his gaze on Arianna. A part of him wouldn’t want to look away. Looks like he’s met her before, but can’t remember where.

“It’s my pleasure to meet you eventually, Arianna” Jane opened her arms for a hug. Arianna kissed the older woman on her chin.

“Richard told us a lot about you and I’ve been eager to meet you,” Jane added. She is happy that Arianna seemed to be fine and happy with Jace Hudson. She became popular after saving his life weeks back.

“Thank you ma’am. Your son is a perfect friend. I guess it’s because his parents are perfect and good people” Arianna replied.

“You look familiar. Have we really met?” Adrian Delmark asked, his gaze on Arianna. She looked very familiar to him.

“None that I remember,” Arianna replied. She glanced at Jane Delmark and her eyes rested on her necklace. It’s the same with hers.

She overlooked it. This was the first time she saw someone having her kind of necklace. She smiled and raised a toast to the Senator.

“What the hell are you doing here?” Richard yelled at her. He dragged Tessa to the extreme end of the garden and yanked her away.

“Careful dear. You’re going to hurt me” Tessa declared, robbing the part where Richard’s hand gripped her. She didn’t care about his furious stare.

“What are you doing here, who invited you here?” Richard yelled. The party was strictly on invitation. Besides his friend, he hadn’t really invited any else.

“Common Richie, I have become a part of this family. Thanks to you” Tessa replied flippantly.

“I don’t want you here. And since you weren’t invited, you’re not welcome. So get the fuck out” Richard ordered. How can she come uninvited? He doesn’t want any contest of supremacy between her and Genesis.

“I’m not welcome and yet, the security guards recognised me as your woman and let me in. You can’t send me out otherwise I will tell Genesis that I used to be your girlfriend” Tessa threatened.

“That won’t be news to her. She already knows that I dated and slept with you. And that I broke up with you when I caught you having sex with my colleague. Do you want me to continue telling you what else she knows?” Richard snorted.

Tessa’s eyes went teary. “I told you I was sorry. I asked you to forgive me. Why can’t you just think about the times we had…” She started sobbing.

“Just leave!” Richard declared and went away, hissing between gritted teeth.

“Congratulations Senator Adrian”Jace Hudson declared. The ladies also congratulated him and said they wish him success in his campaign. They told him he would definitely win. He is the ideal candidate for the position.

Senator Adrian was impressed. He thanked them for their best wishes. He smiled as his gaze went to Arianna again. Maybe impulse or curiosity, his eyes rested on her necklace.

“Your necklace is similar to my wife’s. What a coincidence” Senator Adrian Delmark chimed.

Arianna smiled and gently tapped on it. Jane also did the same. She hasn’t seen anyone besides her late friend who has that necklace with her.

Adrian bought it for them on their graduation, the same day that Adrian Delmark confessed his love for her before Susan.

Adrian also remembered it. It’s special to her. She claimed it’s the first present he gave her in love. It is a token of his love for her.

“Oh! really?” Arianna said and added “Mom gave me and told me to wear it everywhere and anywhere” she said, glancing at Jane’s. It’s indeed similar.

“Your mom, who is your Mom?”Jane asked, her curiosity taking a hold of her. Does it mean there are other people who owned the same necklace besides Susan and herself?
