One Night With The Billionaire

He looked away. This was going to be hard, but he hopes she agrees. She’s already an internationally recognised designer. Backing out now, would really be difficult.

“I’m listening, Jace,” Arianna declared.

“When we get married, you will resign from your job..”Jace trailed off. He cannot say anything else, it’s hard for him to say.

Arianna’s eyes went dark. She glared at him speechless. Is he serious about what he said? She should resign now that she’s at the peak of her career?

“What did you say, that I should resign when we get married?” Arianna demanded her eyes glaring at him.

“Yes. When we get married, I won’t want you to work. You’ll be having our babies. I want three more kids to complete four with Eli. Within those periods, you won’t be working” Jace expanded.

“You are really joking Jace. What kind of idea is that? If you are not comfortable working in the same environment with your wife, I will go somewhere else and work.

Does it have to be the Hudson’s holding? You know I didn’t agree to work with you in the first place. You urged me to work in your company.

Now you are telling me I would resign after marriage and be your baby making factory? I won’t agree on that. In fact the marriage isn’t going to hold for now.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

I can only consider marriage after ten years. Then I will resign and make babies for you. Do you understand me, Jace?” Arianna rebuffed.

She was furious. How can Jace ask her to do such a thing? Doesn’t he love her? Did he want to ruin her career and opportunity in life?

“Why are you upset with me? It hasn’t gotten to this point. I am pleading with you to do it for me. I will still be paying you double of what you earn now” Jace persuaded.

“I just won a contest. I am at the peak of my career. I am getting to places and you know that my emerging as a winner of the contest opened a great door of opportunities for the Hudson’s holding.

Many opportunities are waiting for me. How can you suggest something so unimaginable to me? Are you jealous of my progress? How can you think of something like this at this time?” Arianna bellowed.

Now, she is really furious with Jace. She felt like leaving him at that moment. She stood up and took her bag wanting to go when Jace asked “Are you walking out on me?”

Arianna paused. She doesn’t want to turn back to glance at Jace. She’s really furious with him. How can he say that, how can he suggest to her to quit her profession at such time and be making babies?

Who says she can’t be pregnant and work? When she had no one, wasn’t she working when Eli was in her belly? It’s not about the money.

He would double her income and ensure her bank account gets fat. But the name she just made, how is it going to grow? How can she let her life opportunity pass her by simply because she’s married?

Jace stood up and walked towards her. “You would have walked out on me while I’m talking to you, right?” He demanded. Meanwhile, he continued “You think I am not being considerate about my request?

If you are not willing to leave your job and give me the kids that I want, at least you shouldn’t go back on your words of not getting married to me in two weeks from now.

You can keep your job but you will also give me the kids that I want. I want more kids now and you will give me what I also want, do we agree on that?” Jace requested.

“I am not ready to have babies just yet. They will distract me from attaining great heights in my professional career and dreams. We can always have children but not now.

And for that, I don’t see reasons why we should be getting married. Let’s remain like this until when we are ready” Arianna concluded.

“Until when you are ready, you meant?” Jace restructured her last statement. He glared at her impatiently.

Arianna looked away.

That evening, they went to the Hudson’s Mansion. Amelia and Henry Hudson were happy to have Arianna and Eli with them as well.

Chase came over to join them. It was at his parents’ tucking and persuasion that he agreed to come. When he drove in and saw his brother’s car, he knew he was also there with his fiance.

But the two brothers avoided each other as much as possible. Amelia knew they hadn’t been on good terms after that incident of the past.

When the meal was over, Henry Hudson called his sons aside and had a talk with them. He didn’t ask any of them questions, but said they should make up with each other before coming to join the rest of them.

Jace stood with his side resting on the balcony’s pillar. Both of his hands were in his pants pocket and he remained quiet for a long time.

“I’m sorry Jace” Chase said, glancing to look at his brother. Jace didn’t say anything. “Please forgive me,” Chase added.

“You slandered me that I can’t make love to a woman. You said I have a small dick. Does your dick make more sense than mine? Can you fuck a woman better than I do?

And you even said such vulgar words before Arianna. How do you want her to feel? How can you say such words to me, Chase?” Jace bellowed.

“I’m sorry. I understand everything now. I am sorry that I had to make you feel bad. I wish I had listened to you, I wish I didn’t reason from my feet to my head, maybe I won’t feel so terrible today” Chase said with a remorseful tone.

Jace sighed softly and said “My condolences on the loss of your child”. It’s not like he doesn’t know what he probably might be going through, but he wants him to learn to be responsible for his actions.

“Thank you,”Chase said and nodded. His eyes went teary and next, he wiped the tears off. Jace noticed it and said “you still haven’t overcome the shock?”

“The loss of my baby and my relationship with Rosalinda is something else. The torture and regret I now feel, is entirely different.

But the climax of it is the emotional trauma I’m suffering from. Insomnia and psychological issues are making me crazy…” Chase declared and trailed off.

His voice was choked in his throat. He couldn’t say anything else. He is down, his life hasn’t been alright since that day Rosalinda miscarried his child. His life is in ruin and shatter.

“You’re suffering from insomnia? For how long?” Jace asked.

“From the day that Rosalinda miscarried. I haven’t had a single day of peaceful sleep. I see her in my dreams, she’s calling out to me…” Chase started sobbing.

That was when Jace knew the matter was more complex than he had thought. He straightened himself and glanced at his brother in pity.

“It’s alright. You’ll have a child with her or whoever you choose among those numerous women you have” Jace consoled, pulling him closer in a brotherly hug.

Chase cleaned his tears and sniffled. He thanked Jace and said “I can’t go to the club anymore. Women don’t attract me anymore. I only stay in my Mansion, drink to stupor but would only be able to sleep for a while before I saw her and then, I’ll wake up” Chase explained.

“Are you telling me that you haven’t had a fuck after that incident?” Jace asked, glaring at his brother.
