One Night With The Billionaire

Chase Hudson knew that the best thing to do at that moment was calm Jace down. He is too pained over what his fiancee did. She’s apologising for her wrong but his brother doesn’t seem ready to let go.

“Jace, please”Chase pleaded. He glanced at Arianna, saw her teary eyes and looked away. He’s caught between the rock and a hard place.

“What are you trying to please me on, Chase? You already know what Arianna did to me, right? What’s the difference between her and Clara?

Why do I always have to encounter the worst of women? I have always ensured that I do not hurt my women, and treat them with love and respect. But how do they treat me back?” Jace asked.

Chase looked away, suddenly feeling as if his scalp itches him. Jace is right. He’d always been unlucky in relationships. But why him?

Arianna sniffled. She knew what Clara did and how it took him time to love her and even share his body with her. Now, that he compared her to his late ex, he was remembering the past again.

Just then Jace’s secretary knocked and then walked in. Sara saw the Second master and the CEO looking sad and Miss Arianna seemed to sob. What is going on? Anyways, that’s not why she came.

“Sir, Dr. Richard Delmark is here to see you” Sara informed and Jace made a hand to her to let him in. She nodded and went out.

Arianna’s heart started beating. Richard is in trouble now because of her. She knew what Jace was capable of doing. She knew his strength and knew Richard cannot withstand him.

The door opened and Richard walked in. He saw Arianna with tears in her eyes. He glanced at Jace and saw him still seated with his legs crossed.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

He went to his sister and pulled her into a hug, bringing out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped her tears away. Then he glanced at Jace.

“I wanted to talk to you about the court order and why you had my practising licence revoked. But seeing my sister like this, I will not say anything about myself anymore.

I know you have done something to hurt her. You probably have said harsh horrible words to her. I don’t know. But she is not looking good, Jace. My sister is looking battered” Richard declared and fixed his gaze on Jace.

“If your eyes are really good, you’ll see that my brother is looking heartbroken, betrayed and disappointed. My brother is looking pained, Richard. He is emotionally battered as well” Chase snapped at his friend, mimicking him.

The two friends glared at each other. Richard found no word to retort back at Chase. Jace doesn’t look alright really. Can something so little as aborting a child make a man lose his vigour and liveliness like this?

No woman has ever been pregnant for him because he ensured they don’t get pregnant. He doesn’t know what it means to lose an unborn baby.

He glanced at Arianna and said “Sit down” and brought her to sit down on the sofa, next to Jace but the latter thundered “Sit down in whose office?”

He glared at Richard with a killing intent. What audacity! How dare he tell his stinking sister to sit in his office? Is he crazy or something?

“You are no longer an employee of this company and I can’t remember you booking an appointment with the CEO. I give you thirty minutes to get the fuck out of this company otherwise the securities will show you out!” Jace ordered glaring at Arianna coldly.

Richard squinted. So that’s it. He fired her as well. He knows how to deal with someone and put them in their place. He did that to him and now, did the same to his sister.

“You can’t treat Arianna like this, Jace. You should remember that she once saved your life. That is enough to let go of your grievances against her” Richard declared.

“And in exchange for saving my life, she killed my child. It’s even. The son had paid the price in his father’s place. So, do you think I owe her any appreciation?” Jace blurted in fury, his eyes still reddish.

Richard sighed softly. He already concluded that the baby would be a son. Oh his life. Why wouldn’t he just let this whole thing go and simply get her pregnant again?

“Can we just get back home and settle this between us?” Arianna requested.

“Home? You and I have no home together anymore. The doors of my Mansion are closed to you forever. Neither do I want to see you anywhere close to my son henceforth. I don’t trust you with him” Jace declared.

Arianna’s tears started all over again. She sniffled. She looked really pitiful. Jace forbids her from stepping into the Mansion again and refuses her from seeing her son.

“Looks like you are not ready for a peaceful talk. I will leave and check on you again” Richard declared.

“Take your bloody sister along with you” Jace ordered.

As soon as the siblings left, there was silence in the CEO’s office. It hurt Jace that things have to take this turn between him and Arianna.

He loves her but this is how far he can go with her. Once he pleaded with her to marry him. He would do anything and everything she wanted but she said no.

He even told her to keep working but have his baby and again, she said no. He knew he deliberately was sprouting his seed into her but then, she doesn’t have the right to abort his child.

“You have every right to be angry and mad with Arianna. You can deal with her however you want but you should cushion justice with mercy.

Don’t make hasty decisions when you are downcasted and despondent in spirit. Think about the past you both shared. That woman made you a father even when you didn’t know you were already one.

She had your son and raised him until you met him. She saved your life once and almost lost hers in the process. You once raped her and she didn’t take it out on you.

For this singular act she did to hurt you, you should think it through and remember what she went through for you and with you and forgive her. She’s sincerely sorry about what she did” Chase coaxed.

“Can you do me a favour please?” Jace demanded and then continued”Don’t talk to me about Arianna again if you don’t want me to get crossed with you” he warned.
