Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

Instead of feeling embarrassed of what he had just said, I was rather really surprised and confused. What he had just said was the same thing Adrian had told me the first night I met him.

How come they both said the same words to me?? Also, their voice sounded alike when they said it. Normally, Adrain has a more deeper voice than Oliver but today, they sounded the same to me. It made me wonder if they were the same person.

What are you doing Ariel?? Why are you trying to compare your husband with his cousin. It’s pretty normal for cousins to have the same voice. Besides, your husband is a crippled. He can’t possibly be lying about such a thing.

Everyone knows that. Not just you so stop putting some far fetched idea in your head. It might cause misunderstandings in this marriage. With that thought in mind, I decided to forget about all that had happened now and go clean up since I was practically naked.

I went into my room and changed my clothes. This time, I wore a bra inside so as to avoid something like that form happening again. I went back into the kitchen and met Oliver munching on the pancakes I had kept for Adrian.

After insulting me and my body, he has the guts to still eat the food I kept for Adrian. I walked up to him and snatched the plate from him angrily.

“What is wrong with you??” He asked as he stared at me in anger.

“I could ask the same question. Why are you eating the food that was meant for someone else? Didn’t you see another plate of pancakes there?” I asked as I pointed towards the one I kept for him.

He took a short glance at it before turning to face me.

“It doesn’t matter anymore. You can give that one to whoever you wanted to give this one to. It’s still the same food so it won’t make any difference.” He said and wanted to collect the food from me when I moved my hand.

“You need to ask questions when you’re taking something that isn’t yours. The food you were eating just now is Adrian’s.”

“So?? Adrian has left the house already. Just give it to me.” He wanted to take the plate again but I still moved my hands. I didn’t want to give it to him.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

I took the plate and placed the half eaten pancake on the sink. I didn’t want him to enjoy my food after all the insults he has rained on me.

“Why are acting like this?? There’s no difference between both plates. Wait.. don’t tell me..” He muttered as he gave me a suspicious look. What useless idea is he cooking up in his head now?

“Did you poison that plate? Is that the reason you’re so hellbent on making me eat it?” He asked as he pointed towards the plate of food that was meant for him.

“You think I’m that stupid to waste food that I suffered to cook all because I hate you??” I asked as I raised my left brow at him.

“Well, I can’t deny that you are stupid. You don’t want to waste food and you still don’t want someone else to eat it even when it’s quite obvious you can’t finish it by yourself.” I mentally screamed when he called me stupid.

“You see, this is the problem that I have with you. You insult me at every given opportunity that you have and now you expect me to let you eat my food??” I asked.

“Yes. I do.”

“And why would I do that??”

“Because this is my home and I own every….” I burst out laughing the moment he said that.

“What’s so funny?” He asked as he stared at me with a huge frown on his face.

“You just said that this is your house.” I said as my laughter grew every passing moment.

“I did. What’s so funny about that??” He asked, the frown wasn’t leaving his face. When I saw how serious he seemed, I reduced my laughter.

“This house is Adrian’s. Not yours. And from what I know, you are just here for a very short visit. Adrian’s words exactly so I don’t really know how this house is yours.” I explained.

“He’s my cousin so what’s his is mine.”

“And he’s my husband.”

“It’s very funny that you are already claiming that title to yourself after speaking with your lover yesterday.” He accused making me knit my brows in confusion. What the hell is he talking about??

“Don’t act like you don’t remember. ‘Love you too’.” He said. My eyes brightened when I understood what he meant.

Is he seriously talking about my call with Hillary. He still doesn’t know that I was talking to my brother. Good for me because it’s time for me to play my games now.

“So what? I’m free to do whatever I want. Your cousin told me that.” I said as I smirked at him.

He squinted his brows as anger, disgust and disappointment was written all over his face.

“You are really shameless, do you know that??” He asked.

“You are not the first person to tell me that.”

“After your break up with your ex, you didn’t even hesitate to get married to my cousin and now, your already having an affair.” He said as he eyed me from up to down with pure disgust written all over his face but I could care less. It was so fun playing with him. He’s so gullible.

“What were you expecting? I should be faithful to him when I still have a long and eventful life ahead of me? I mean, look at your cousin. He barely even talks to me and the little time we do talk, he is always putting on a mask to face me.” He stared at me in shock when I said that.

“What did you just say?” He asked, suddenly turning serious.

“I said he puts on a mask anytime he sees me.” I repeated.

“How were you able to tell?” He asked. His serious face was enough to make me laugh but I held myself back.

“I mean, it’s quite obvious so why wouldn’t I be able to know. Besides, is his face that disturbing that he had to use an hideous mask to cover it??” I asked back.

“Whatever he does to his face is none of my business so don’t ask me useless questions.” He muttered as he turned on his heels and left me alone in the kitchen.

I stared in confusion as he left in a hurry. What’s up with him? It seems like he had bipolar because one time he is teasing me and the other time, he turns really serious.

Well, I can’t actually blame him. He’s just an annoying idiot right from the very beginning. I picked up my pancakes and a glass filled with warm mik before heading towards the dinning hall.

I sat on a seat and started munching on my food immediately.

**************************************

Bianca hugged him tightly the moment he opened the door. She was finally able to get in touch with him after several calls. He told her that he was at his private villa so she went there to meet him.

“I missed you so much.” She muttered as they disengaged from the tight hug.

“Me too. So sorry I wasn’t able to pick your calls. Things were very heated at home.” Lucas explained as he led her inside.

“I know your father must be very angry. Did he hurt you?” She asked as she checked his body for any injuries.

Luckily, Lucas’s red face had already healed. He knew how teary Bianca would get the moment she sees his throbbing face.

“I’m fine. He only screamed at me. That’s all.” He explained. He didn’t want to go into details about everything that had happened yesterday.

Bianca stared at him with a face filled with remorse. She knew she was to blame because she released the information of Ariel’s marriage but what she didn’t know was that it would backfire at them this way.

“I’m so sorry.” She apologized tearfully.

“Come on baby. We both know that the truth was bound to come out sooner or later so you don’t have to feel bad.” He muttered as he tried to stop her from crying.

“But it’s all my fault. I should have never released the information about her marriage. It ruined your plans.” She explained.

“Our plans were already ruined the moment she broke up with me. I never knew she found out about the both of us while I was begging to have her back. I feel so stupid.” Lucas muttered in regret.

“You don’t have to say that. Like you just said, you didn’t know she was already aware. Instead of us insulting ourselves, why don’t we pay her back for what she did to us?” Bianca asked.

“How are we going to do that? She’s already married to that family so she’ll be practically invisible to our attacks.” Luacs explained.

“That’s how we’ll strike. We’ll set her up so that family would reject her.”

“You’re right. If such a family rejects her, she’ll be a laughing stock and her family would practically vanish like they never existed. You are a genius baby.” Lucas praised as he stared at Bianca in admiration.

“But how do we carry out our plan? She already hates you and she would obviously not want to have anything to do with me. There’s no way to trap her.” Said Bianca.

“A way would always come. Right now, we should only talk about ourself. Let’s forget about all our problems today.” Luacs muttered as he gave her a small peck on her lips.

Bianca smiled and pulled him closer to herself, engaging him in a very deep and passionate kiss.
