Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

After Adrian had left, Alice couldn’t hold back her anger anymore. She lifted the bottle she was holding and threw it against the wall, making it shatter into millions of tiny pieces and gaining the attention of the people around.

They all turned to stare at her like she had gone crazy but she didn’t care. She was raging in fury to notice what was going on around. She held her hair and pulled on it harshly.

“Fuck!!!!” She screamed out angrily and that made people around surprised. Why was she suddenly acting like that?? No one knew, except Emily.

“Calm down Alice. You’re drawing attention to yourself.” Emily said and attempted to pull Alice out of the room but she wouldn’t budge. She raised her head to stare at the people that were giving her weird looks.

“What the fuck are you staring at???” She asked angrily. They didn’t answer her, instead they scoffed and started whispering things to one another.

Alice knew that they were talking about her since they would stare at her occasionally and that made her more angry than being ignored by people she was way older than.

“You know what, get out!!” She screamed at the top of her voice.

“Alice, you don’t have to do…”

“Quiet!!” She said, cutting Emily’s words off.

“Get out now before you all would regret it.” She threatened but none of them seemed fazed by her. To them, she was just a lady in her twenties that’s supposed to be at the psychiatric hospital.

Seeing that they wouldn’t budge, it made Alice angrier than before.

“You don’t want to leave right?? Fine.. wait here for me.” She muttered and entered into the kitchen. Emily sighed and followed Alice in an attempt to calm her down.

As she left, she could hear the rude remarks and mocking laughter from her friends. She ignored them and walked into the kitchen. She couldn’t let Alice ruin her eighteenth birthday all because of a setback they had no control of.

She saw Alice looking for something in the fridge. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when Alice pulled out a bottle amd walked out like she didn’t see her standing there.

Emily sighed and followed her to see what she wanted to do. Alice walked back to the living room where the party was going on and smashed the bottle on the wall, gaining their attention again.

All the bottles content were poured out and what was remaining was the sharp tip of the broken bottle. Then, she pointed it at the students.

“Are you going to leave now or do I have to kill someone first??” She asked as she waved the bottle at their faces. The students still didn’t budge. They didn’t want to look scared all because of a crazy lady.

“Alice what’s wrong with you??” Emiky asked and attempted to pull the broken bottle away from Alice but Alice pulled her hands away, and the sharp end of the bottle tore Emily’s arm.

Emily didn’t feel anything at first until she saw the look of horror on the student’s faces. She stared down only to see blood gushing out like a waterfall out of her arm. Due to the amount of blood that was leaving her body, she slowly started getting weak. She raised her head uo to stare at the perpetrator.

“Alice..” She called but Alice didn’t move. Alice stood where she was in a state of shock. Emily stumbled before she finally lost balance and collapsed on the floor.

The students around screamed in shock and fear. Most of them ran out of the hotel room in a hurry while the rest of the came towards Emily’s almost lifeless body, carried and rushed her to the hospital.

When the room was finally deserted and quiet, Alice dropped the broken bottle she was holding and stared at the thick lqyers of blood that had stained the floor. Fear gripped her as she rushed into the inner room and came back out with a small rag.

“I didn’t do it.. I didn’t do it.. it wasn’t my fault.. he made me do it… she made me do it… they made me do it…” She kept muttering under her breath as she tried to clean the blood that was on the floor.

The rag couldn’t help as it was too small. Her fear increased as she started to clean with all her might and that made some of the blood to stain her hand.

“Fuck!!” She muttered and attempted to clean her hand as the blood reminded of what happened that night. She cleaned her hand on her clothes but that didn’t remove the blood, it stained her clothes.

She stood up and was about to go into the bathroom to wash her hands when she heard a knock on the door. She halt in shock and fear as thoughts of the people knocking on the door were the police flashed through her mind.

“Why am I scared?? I didn’t do it on purpose. I didn’t try to kill her. It’s all Ariel’s fault. Ariel did this not me.” She muttered as she took in a deep breath before walking towards the door. She opened it a little, exposing just her face. Like she had thought, it was the police.

“What do you want officers?” She asked as she smiled at them.

“We got a call from a bunch of students that there was an accident here.” One of the officers said.

“Those poke nosing students.” She muttered under her breath before putting a smile back on her face and turning to face the officer.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. You’ve got the wrong room.” She said and wanted to close the door but the other police used his leg to block the door.

“If you would just step out of the room and let us do a thorough search ourselves madam.” He said politely, making Alice’s fear and anxiety increase. Seeing how scared she was, the officers got really suspicious.

They decided to use force as she didn’t seem like she would give in anytime soon. They easily pushed the door and entered into the room only to be greeted by a fresh crime scene.

They turned to stare at her and could finally see the reason she was covering her body with the door.

“You need to come with us to the station madam.” They said and wanted to hold her but she was faster.

Since she was already close to the door, she was able to run out of it swiftly. She ran towards the elevator and attempted to close it but the elevator doors were slow.

The police were able to catch up with her and they held her down but that didn’t stop her from trying to escape from their hold.

“Do you know who I am?? You are going to suffer for this.” She threatened as she tried to escape but they were to strong for her.

“Save your breath miss. You’ll need it later at the station.” One of the officer said and the other pressed a button on the elevator and it took them to the ground floor.

When they got outside the hotel, Alice’s anxiety increased as she saw the police car they were leading her to.

“No no… you can’t do this to me. I didn’t mean to do that to her. It wasn’t my fault. Ariel did it… yes.. it was Ariel.” She kept screaming and crying but the police wouldn’t listen to her. They pushed her into the car and locked her in before settling at the front and zooming to the police station.

By the time Adrian got to the ward that Ariel was admitted in, he was already breathless. His heart thumped in his chest when he saw Ariel laying unconsciously on the hospital bed.

He took slow strides towards her and crouched next to her. He raised his hand and patted her hair slowly.

“I was gone for only less than on hour, what happened to you??” He asked no one in particular. The door opened from the outside and a doctor walked in.

“Who are you to the patient?” The doctor asked, thereby announcing his presence to Adrian.

“I’m her husband.” Adrian answered as he turned to face the doctor.

“Doctor, what’s wrong with her? Why did she suddenly collapse?? Is it some kind of disease or..”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“No no.. far from that.” The doctor said.

“A terminal illness???” Adrian asked again as his fear increased.

“No Mr. Montgomery. Actually, your wife is pregnant.” He announced.

“What??”

“Three weeks gone.”
