Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

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 shakily. She had an idea of what he was about to say but she still wanted to hear it directly from him as a part of her assured her that it might not be true.

“Our relationship..” Lucas added.

“What?? What are you talking about all of a sudden?” Bianca asked.

“I know that this decision seems somehow.. out of the blue but we have to end it. I can’t really go into the details now but something came up so I have to go back home.” Lucas said.

“So you’re abandoning me for your family?” Bianca asked as she felt pains in her heart. It felt like it was being cut by a blunt knife.. very painful.

“No Bianca.. that’s not what I meant. You know that I can never leave you.” Lucas said.

“But you just said that we should end our relationship.” Bianca reminded.

“I know but we’re not cutting each other off. We’ll just lie low for some time and we’ll..”

“It will be like how it was before.” Bianca cut him off angrily.

“What do you mean?”

“We’ll be sneaking around like we are having an affair when we are supposed to be dating in public!!” Bianca screamed angrily.

“Relax baby. I know that you’re angry…”

“And whose fault is it? Who came into my house just to give me a break up message??”

“Like I said before, we aren’t actually breaking up. We’ll just hide our relationship from the public.”

“How the hell isn’t that a break up. Do you know how it feels to not be able to talk to you for more than a minute in public without being scared of the suspicious looks from others?”

“Do you know how it feels to not be able to touch you? Kiss you and love you in public? To claim you and show all those wencbes who are interested in you that you’re mine?

“Bianca..”

“Or don’t you want to love me in public? Don’t you want to show me off as yours?”

“I do. You know how much I love you.” Lucas said.

“I’m sorry but I’m not really sure about that anymore. If you actually love me like you claim that you do, you would always listen to me and you won’t do anything to hurt me ever.”

“But I do listen to you and I have never hurt you before.”

“What do you think you’re doing now? I’m begging… pleading with you to not let go of me and everything that we have suffered to build all over the years we’ve spent together. If it’s because of the public’s view about us, we can just run away. We can go to someplace where no one knows us and then start anew there.” Bianca said as she drew closer to him.

“You know that’s not possible.” Lucas muttered. She lifted her hand and wrapped it around his neck.

“Why not? It’s a good plan and it would help us forget all that we have been through these past few days. It would be just me, you and our everlasting love for each other.” She muttered as she pressed her lips against his and engaged him in a very deep kiss.

Lucas sucked on his breath as he wrapped his hands tightly around her waist and pulled her closer to him. He had missed this a lot. Being able to wrap himself in her arms, to kiss her like the rest of the world doesn’t matter.

He smiled when he felt her tongue rowming around his mouth, he didn’t hesitate to suck on it and that attracted a low moan from her. He lifted his hands and dipped them into her long blonde hair.

That way, he was able to hold her head in place as he continued his assaults on her tongue. After some time, he moved his hands back to her waist and that gave her enough space to be able to grab on his hair too.

Feeling her pull on his hair erupted something within him. He always loved when she does that, it made him feel like she owned him. They were still deep into the kiss when he suddenly remembered what he had came here for so he quickly pulled away.

“What’s wrong?” Bianca asked as she heaved heavily, so as to regain her lost breath.

“We can’t be doing this.” Lucas muttered.

“Why not?” Bianca asked as she tried to kiss him again but he moved away from her embrace.

Lucas could notice pain in her eyes and it hurt him that he was the author of those pains but what could he do? He needed to heed to his mother’s request if he wanted to get what he wants.

“I’ve already told you everything Bianca.”

“No you didn’t.” She said.

“But I just explained everything to you.”

“And you left out the part of why you’re doing this.”

“I said that I need to go back to my family.”

“Being with your family doesn’t hinder our love plus the Lucas I know and love would never ditch me for some people that turned their back on him so tell me the real reason that you’re doing this!!” Buanca screamed out angrily.

“It’s because I want to get my revenge on Ariel.” Lucas had no choice but to answer.

“Isn’t that what we’ve been doing?”

“You know everything we’ve been doing haven’t been working at all. It just kept bouncing back on us.”

“So what makes you think that your mother’s plan would be any different?”

“I saw it. It’s top notch secret. Something as big as that is bound to destroy Ariel. Well. Mostly the Montgomerys and that means Ariel too.” Lucas explained.

“Lucas.. why don’t we just give up on our plan to shatter Ariel?”

“What? Why? You loathe her alot. You have always wanted to defeat her so why are you giving up now?” Lucas asked.

“Well, I realised that nothing I do would ever be enough to bring her down and now, I’m loosing you along the line. That is the one thing I’m scared of the most so please, just listen to me. Stop all that you’re planning and runaway with me.”

“And to where exactly? Even though we are able to escape this damned city, how are we going to survive out there? We would have no name, no qualifications and no job. We would have to do menial jobs to survive.”

“Also, have you seen my face?” He pointed at his bandaged face.

“Do you really think I would be able to forget about everything that had happen if my face is scarred? I now have a way to make that bitch pay for, all that she has done to me but you want me to let it all go? Hell no!!” Lucas said.

“So what you’re saying is that your hate for Ariel is much greater than your love for me?” She asked as her eyes showed pain and hurt. Lucas’ silence was enough answer for her.

She was a real fool to think that she would always come first in his heart. It had always been like this when he was still with Ariel. He always claimed he loved her but she knew deep down that his ambitions were first.

Now, he was leaving her just for revenge. What was she thinking in the first place? She had always put him first in everything in her life but he never did even though he claimed to love her.

She released a very wry smile as she took few steps away from him.

“What are you doing Bianca?” Lucas asked as he attempted to walk close to her but one look from Bianca was enough to stop him.

“I get it Lucas. I really do. I guess this is the end for both of us.” She muttered.

“What? No, it isn’t. Like I said before, we can just hide our..”

“I would rather break up with you than to go back to how it was before. This is goodbye Lucas. I hope I never see you again and just so you know, it’s all your fault.” She muttered as she scurried back into the house so he wouldn’t see her cry.

She had been holding herself from breaking down in front of him but the moment she saw her father, staring at her with sad eyes in the leaving room, the walls she had put up crumbled so she embraced him tightly as she cried in his arms.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
