One Night With The Billionaire

“I will ensure I make it snappy and join you,” Arianna explained further. She saw that Jace’s quietness was unusual. She tucked him and he said okay.

The chauffeur drove her to the hotel and made a U-turn before driving out of the premises. Arianna didn’t remember to ask Jace if he was going off to his parents place or having lunch all by himself.

Anyways, she would call him when she’s through with the fellow surnamed Rumero. She walked gracefully into the hotel and as soon as she stepped in, she immediately saw a hand raised from a distance.

She glanced in that direction, and seated behind the table was Ethan Rumero smiling and beckoning to her to come over.

As Arianna made her way towards Ethan, the latter was assessing her in his heart. Her steps were graceful, her looks were attractive and she looked elegant and classical.

She wasn’t like this back then. She doesn’t look half as glamorous as she now appears. Her dressing wasn’t expensive and classical like it is now.

Destiny has smiled on her and she seemed to have the goodies and pleasant things that life offers. But above all, it’s time she gets her man back and that man is him!

After she saved the CEO of the Hudson’s holding, her life had changed. He compensated her he guessed and gave her a good position in the conglomerate.

If the dude didn’t have a reputation for being arrogant and disrespectful towards women, he would have assumed that he was dating her. But Jace Hudson doesn’t have a thing for women and he is rumoured to be impotent.

He stood up when Arianna arrived before him. He pulled out a seat for her and then waited for her to sit before he sat down. He smiled and said “Thanks for honouring my invitation”

Arianna nodded and began looking around for the hotel attendants. Ethan saw that she wasn’t appearing friendly and intuition made him understand that she wants to go straight to having lunch.

“Waiter” he called one of the men in a customised uniform. The fellow walked briskly towards them and welcomed them to the restaurant.

They made their orders and soon, lunch began. Until that moment, Arianna hadn’t said a word to Ethan. She had her lunch and gulped it down with a glass of juice.

Next, she asked “So tell me, why did you request to see me?” She glared at him. So horrible he looked now. She can’t imagine how she had loved this fellow many years ago.

She even kissed him back then. She almost got lost in his arms at a time and was on the verge of making love to him. How unimaginable she had lived her past with this fellow that has no bit of attraction to her.

While she was priding herself as his fiance, he was drilling Daisy behind closed doors and they both were the closest people to her. Her father and stepmom and sister were not good towards her.

She found solace in their love and friendship. How late it was for her to realise their deceit and cunningness. Thank goodness that she didn’t plunge herself into everlasting regrets.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

“First, I must thank you for honouring my invitation. I want to comment that you look beautiful and splendid..” Ethan complimented and chuckled softly.

“Thank you” Arianna appreciated with a poker face. If this fellow knew just how impatient she was at the moment, he would just go straight to his purpose of inviting her over.

Ethan’s chuckle was not reciprocated and he felt somewhat embarrassed. Arianna is not in for jokes or unguided friendship with him. He would just tell her his intentions.

“You and I have known each other for a long time now. I can’t hide anything from you, Arianna. I have been a broken man for a while now, lost in self regrets…” Ethan paused and took a sip.

Somehow he was feeling uneasy to continue. He seemed to be sweating and he lost the initial courage he had while expecting her. What is happening?

“So, how is that connected to me?” Arianna asked. He is a broken man, how is that her business? He could wallow in regrets and shame for all she cares.

What was he thinking, that he could get away from all the evilness he had exhibited? That karma will not catch up with him? He must be stupid to think his betrayal would be washed away by merely saying sorry to her sometimes ago.

“I want to start life afresh and I will want us to begin again, rewriting our relationship and erasing the errors of the past…” Ethan was saying when Arianna interrupted him.

“Where is your wife Daisy? Did she know you are meeting with me today?” Arianna asked. She felt like pulling the bastard by his collar and dazing him with a blow but she forced herself to be calm.

“We are divorced. We are not compatible. And I realised what mistake I did back then to stand you up for her. I wish I didn’t make such a grave mistake…” Ethan mumbled.

He paused to see if Arianna would say something but she didn’t and he continued “I want us to start off from where we stopped. We used to love each other a lot before things fell apart.

And without mincing words, I still love you now, much more than I used to love you back then. Daisy was the third party in our relationship that splitted us.

But now, we can start all over again and we will be heading to the cathedral to be joined in holy matrimony. You and I should give each other a chance…” Ethan was coaxing Arianna when she bursted into laughter.

Arianna laughed hysterically that she had to cover her mouth with a napkin.

Ethan was lost, what’s amusing her so much, are his words hilarious?
