Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

The moment Bianca’s father left, she shut the door from within. At that time, all the emotions that she had been trying to hold back became too much and they bursted out from within in form of tears.

She rest her back on the door and slid to the floor as more tears poured out from her eyes. She never expected this. She never expected that her father of all people would do this to her.

She trusted and loved him than she ever did to anyone but he betrayed her, in the guise of wanting her happiness. Which girl in her sane mind would want to get married at the age of eighteen and to someone she doesn’t know or love.

Not everyone would be as lucky as Ariel is. No matter how much she hates Ariel, she would never be stupid enough to get married to some unknown man all because she wants to defeat her.

The pain in her heart became worse when she realized that she had lost everything. Her fame, her fans, her boyfriend and now, her father. Her father would have never made such decisions if he still loved her.

It was at that time reality had finally sinked in. She wanted to defeat Ariel at all cost but see what her determination had caused her. Here she is, battling to find her way back to the top while Ariel is there without even doing anything.

It made her wonder if it was all worth it. She hasn’t been able to win just one battle but she’s already lost everything.

She was still crying when she heard her phone ring. She decided to ignore it as she wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone right now but the caller was so persistent. He or she kept on calling until she couldn’t take it anymore.

She stood up from where she sat and walked over to where her phone was laying peaceful. The only thought she had in mind was to smash it so she wouldn’t have to hear that annoying ring tone anymore.

She was about to do it when she saw Lucas’ name flashing on the screen. Sheel stared at it in confusion. Lucas was in the hospital, how come he’s calling her?? She still answered the call though.

“Hello..” She muttered.

“Bianca..” Her heart lept in joy when she heard his husky voice.

“Lucas..” She called back.

“Are you home?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?”

“I’m outside, can you come out to meet me?” He asked.

“Yes, sure. I’m coming right now.” She said and ended the call before putting on her flip flops and running out of her room.

She reached outside the mansion and indeed met him standing outside the gate.

“Open the gate for him!” She ordered and the security man didn’t waste any second. He opened the gate and Lucas entered into the compound.

“Oh my God Lucas. I missed you so much.” She said as she ran to hug him tightly and affectionately. Lucas on the other hand didn’t return her hug but Bianca didn’t really care. All that mattered right now was that Lucas was there with her.

“In your face Mrs. Alexandre.” She said within her. She could only imagine the expression on his mothere face when Lucas defied her to come see the sane person that she was pushing away.

“How are you? How’s your injury?” She asked as she touched his bandaged face lightly.

“I’m so sorry that I couldn’t stay at the hospital till you wake up. I had something really important that needed my attention at home.” Bianca lied.

She didn’t want to tell him that his mother chased her out. She figured he might not believe her or it might severe the tie that he had with his mother, the only one that actually gives a shit about him in that family.

“Is it more important than me, your boyfriend?” Lucas asked with a wry smile on his lips.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

“There’s nothing more important than you. You’ll always be my number one.” Bianca said with a huge smile plastered on her face but Lucas didn’t smile back.

That was really surprising because he’s hardly able to keep on a poker face anytime Bianca was around him. So, Bianca figured that something was wrong but she didn’t want to ask him directly.

“Let’s go inside and talk more. We can’t keep standing out side like this all day.” Bianca said ask she pulled away from the hug. She held his hand and was about to walk inside with him when she noticed that he wasn’t moving.

“What’s wrong?” She asked as she turned to stare at him.

“Let’s just talk here.” He answered in a curt manner.

“Why? Is it because of my dad? Don’t worry, he isn’t going to disturb us.” Bianca cajoled but he still remained adamant.

“Lucas baby.. what’s wrong?” She asked in concern.

“I need to talk to you about something important.” He answered.

“How important is it that you can’t wait till we get inside?” She asked.

“Inside isn’t the best place to break this news to you.” Lucas answered.

She stared at him silently. She knew that whatever he was about to say was a very bad news so she didn’t want to hear it.. yet. She didn’t want anything to ruin her precious time with him as she’s missed him and all of their happy moments together.

“Let’s just go inside and we can talk about that later.” She said.

“No Bianca.. we can’t. Lucas said.

“Why not?” She asked.

“I just want to get this over with fast.” He answered.

“What are you talking about? What is so important that you can’t wait till later before telling me?” Bianca asked again.

Lucas sighed heavily as he stared at her. She was eager to know so he had to tell her. It would be much better for her to hear it from him than she seeing it elsewhere.

“We need to end it.” He muttered.

“End what??” Bianca croaked out.

“Our relationship..”
