One Night With The Billionaire

Jace Hudson’s eyes turned cold. Is he the one this woman just referred to as the rich brat? Brat? What an insult. Does she really recognize him if she sees him or her attention was on Arianna alone that she didn’t pass a glance at the rest of them standing?NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Richard and Chase exchanged glances and next turned to Jace. They saw his cold stare at the woman and Genesis shook her head. This woman should rather watch her words.

Arianna glanced at Jace from her split vision. She saw his countenance was icy cold and the temperature of the room suddenly became hot to her feelings.

“… you will leave here at this moment and come with me. The Keyamo family had brought the bridal attire and are coming to marry you off tomorrow morning.

Hiding here will not save you. You are not going to disgrace our family and reduce us to homeless people nor make us a laughing stock in society.

You must marry the eldest master of the Keyamo family. You must do exactly what your father and I want because we gave you a home and a shelter. We covered your mom’s secret and…”Emily was saying when Arianna yelled at her.

“Just stop your rattling Emily Jason. You are such a mean woman who thinks being cunning and scheming would always get you what you wanted.

Can’t you see my condition, that I am in a hospital bed? And the only thing that matters to you is marrying me off to some drug traffickers and gamblers? Do you have no shame?

If you and your husband took a loan and you couldn’t pay for it, why use me to pay off your debt? Are you crazy? Do I look like a zombie that can be married off to that son of a renowned criminal?

Marry Your daughter Elisa off to pay up your debt. I wasn’t a part of your family for over ten years now. How can you come to me and talk about marrying me off. Are you so stupid to think I would listen to you?” Arianna snapped at her.

Everyone seemed to understand what was happening now. They want to marry Arianna off to pay their debt. And her step mom couldn’t care of she’s in the hospital or not.

All that matters to her is that she should be there for the marriage. They glanced at each other and shook their heads. She didn’t even ask how she’s recovering or how she’s feeling. What a terrible feeling to have a weird step mom.

“You must marry the person we want for you. And I hope you are still a virgin, huh. Because he will prove your virginity before taking you away as his bride. Everyone of us would see the token of it only then, will the debt be cancelled…” Emily was saying when Arianna’s complexion turned ashen.

“Water please” Arianna requested. She was so angry and her complexion flushed with redness. She must still be a virgin. It will be proved before everyone present before she would be taken away as his bride.

“Madam, you are making my patient uncomfortable. This is not good for her health. So I’ll want you out of here, please” Richard declared.

Ignoring Richard, Emily went on “You are coming with me now otherwise, I will expose your mom’s top secret and you will be thrown out of the Jason’s family. I will desecrate your mom’s graveyard…”Emily threatened and Arianna’s flared up.

“What top secret, I already know I am not Jason. I know that you both are not related to me biologically. So what top secret are you talking about?

Mom had died before dad married you. So, she must have entrusted the secret of my paternity to her useless good for nothing husband. And now, you want to threaten me with it, you are a fool, to think I am so daft like you.

But if you dare it, to desecrate my mom’s graveyard, I will kill you Emily Jason and I will kill myself before the law catches up with me” Arianna yelled and used her entire strength to pull Emily closer to herself.

She yelled into her ears “I am not afraid of death anymore. I have faced it a few times now and it doesn’t scare me anymore. But I will send you to be with my mom and guess what, she would be your senior in death as she was in life..”She couldn’t keep cool and she bit Emily’s nose hard.

“Somebody help me!!!”Emily screamed but Arianna wouldn’t let her be. Richard went forward to help her but Genesis held him back “She needs to be taught some lessons. Let her take in the lesson a little longer”

“She’s going to pluck off my nose. Someone help me” Emily screamed. Rather than help, Chase chuckled aloud. Arianna dug her fingers on her chest, where she was holding Emily’s blouse.

After a while Genesis said “Save her if you want now” and laughed out loud. But before Richard could get to Arianna, the latter pushed her off, her teeth dug hard into Emily’s nose and she was bleeding.

Arianna’s complexion was reddened. She spat out the blood in her mouth on Emily’s face and did it again before saying “You can now go and desecrate mom’s graveyard and you’ll feel the heat of my wrath” she declared.

“Aria, calm down” Richard walked over and held her in a warm embrace. He saw how furious she was and knew, it’s not good for her health.

“Mommy, mommy ” Arianna was sobbing. She held Richard tight and sobbed loud.

“Throw this woman out of the hospital and when next you see her here, shoot her ” Jace ordered.

The securities walked in and pulled Emily off the floor. She glanced up and saw Jace Hudson for the first time. She shivered and momentarily forgot her pain and bleeding nose.

Did he hear her a while ago when she referred to him as a rich brat? But she didn’t get the chance to analyse her thoughts before being forced out.

“You must come and be married to the Keya…” Emily was still screaming as her voice faint into the distance.

“You are bleeding Arianna,” Jace sighed. Her hospital wear was soiled and he saw fresh blood stains on it. He walked over and held her while Richard glanced at her upper back where she got one bullet.

“Your wound is broken,” Richard declared. Arianna held Jace as Richard cleaned the wound. She didn’t care about who held her but sobbed on his shoulders.

“I’m pressed, take me to the restroom, ” Arianna said. Jace said okay and helped her out of the bed, supporting her as she walked carefully into the restroom.

“Arianna should cut her nose off. At least that would teach her a lesson of a lifetime ” Genesis seethed. She paced back and forth feeling unsatisfied with Ariana’s actions.

“Even this is enough for her, Genesis,” Richard said.

“I feel pity for Arianna. Her life seemed complicated every step of the way” Chase said.

Arianna relieved herself and soon returned. She laid on the bed and closed her eyes. She doesn’t want to talk to anyone for the moment.
