One Night With The Billionaire

Arianna was dazed. He called her what, his love? Everyone turned to glare at Eli’s parents and Jace suddenly realised what he’s done, he turned and glanced at Arianna, but she quickly turned her face away.

“I will not go into this kind of contest again until I also have a son and my girlfriend is there to applaud me. I am the one who has been cheated here.

And yes, Eli you won. You are the winner and I promise to buy you the latest model of computer game. Since your parents are here to cheer and celebrate with you, I will now leave, my parents are not here to applaud me” Chase teased and Arianna laughed.

“Chase, don’t be jealous. And yes, Jace and I are happy for Eli. I think you should also think of helping Eli get a cousin soon” Arianna teased.

Jace came out of the pool. His hair dripped and droplets of water stuck to his clean body. He got a towel and wrapped it around his waist, to keep eyes away from a certain part of his body.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

He got a glass of wine and sipped from it. Eli sipped from his glass as well. Richard and Genesis were whispering in low tones, a lovers tit atat.

Jace Hudson couldn’t keep his eyes away from Arianna. He was still glaring at her in admiration, happy that she smiled and laughed when Eduardo came over and whispered something into Jace’s ears. He stopped laughing and said “okay”

“I’m sorry, we might not be swimming like I planned” he paused and glanced at Chase with a concerned stare.

“James Maslow is attacking the Hudson’s holding shares. I would like to leave now” Jace declared. He told the bodyguards to watch over Arianna and Eli and came closer to Arianna.

“I want us to talk. But now I have to salvage the situation. He held her hand and tried to kiss her temple but Arianna moved away.

Emily was unable to walk properly the next morning. Thank goodness she was not abused by all Larry’s men. She staggered up and wondered if a single man had wounded her so badly despite her age and experience in sex, it means Elisa was in grave danger.

She went to help Elisa and discovered that she had passed out. On the floor was blood. She had been vandalised. Her entire private part seemed wounded and widened.

She took clothes and covered her daughter. That was when she saw that Ned Jason was still tied. She staggered towards him and untied him. His eyes were red, indicating that he’d sob too much.

“Let’s save Elisa,” Emily said. Ned went to his daughter and carried her quickly into the car and headed to the hospital. Elisa was examined when they arrived at the hospital.

“This is all Arianna’s fault. She brought this upon us. I swear that I will make her pay for this. I will take my revenge on her..” Emily was ranting when Ned shut her up.

“Just shut up. Shut the crap and let’s all have peace and quietness. You still have no sense of decorum in you after all you have done?

You still blame Arianna for the things you brought upon yourself and your daughter? You went into gambling and ended up bringing this mischief upon this family.

Don’t you dare call Arianna’s name here. She would have been the one in that helpless state that Elisa is in. You wanted to push her into an everlasting sadness and want to make me your partner in cruelty.

But I guess luck was on her side. She escaped narrowly and now, you said it’s her fault? Don’t you dare say it to my hearing again. Once Elisa is alright, we are getting divorced ” Ned Jason declared.

“Divorce? You’re going to divorce me?” Emily blurted out.

For the next two days, Arianna didn’t get to meet Jace Hudson. He comes home late and goes away before she ever gets out of bed. But one thing she doesn’t understand is that, no matter how late or early his movements are, he would always spare time to see and talk with Eli.

She became usually concerned about him. She decided to call Chase. As soon as she dialled his cell phone number, he answered it.

“Sister in law. How have you been?” Chase chimed, happy that Arianna called while he was having lunch with Jace. Hearing that Chase said, Jace looked up. It seems Arianna is the one on the other end.

“Hello Chase. How have you been?” Arianna said. She’s not comfortable with Chase referring to her as his sister in-law, but then she didn’t caution him to stop.

“I’m cool. What’s up?” Chase asked. This is the first time Arianna called him. There must be a reason for the call.

“Have you seen Jace these past few days? I haven’t seen him and wanted to know if he’s fine” Arianna inquired.

“Wow.. someone is in love. You missed your love, right? I’m jealous. Jace is fine. But talk to him” Chase said and handed the phone to Jace “It’s Arianna” he whispered to his brother.

“My love,” Jace said. He was surprised that Arianna was concerned about him. He least expected it from her.

“Hi. I haven’t seen you in days and decided to check on you” Arianna said. She didn’t know the brothers were together. Now, Jace would be thinking that she cares about him.

“Thanks for checking on me. Actually I do come home every night but I wouldn’t want to disturb you. How have you been?” Jace Hudson explained.

“I’m fine. Goodbye ” Arianna said and wanted to hang up when Jace said “Arianna, wait ” he said and the latter said okay. She was waiting for Jace to say what he wanted to stay when she heard him said “I love you”

There was a long silence and then, Arianna hung up. She held her phone tight and placed it against her chest. He said he loves her. She went and stood before the mirror, blushing like a teenager.

“She’s finding it difficult to say she loves me. But I feel a little more time, she would also fall in love with me. I’m sure of my feelings for her, like I was for Clara” Jace said, returning Chase’s phone back to him.

“Arianna will suit you, Jace. And she’s a good woman” Chase declared. He knew that he would have gone for Arianna if she wasn’t Jace’s woman before. And being the mother of his nephew, it only means he would only love her as his sister in-law.

“She’s pure and innocent. And she’s the only woman I have felt like this for besides Clara. I won’t rest until she’s mine, until she accepts me as her boyfriend and future husband and not just as Eli’s father” Jace opened up.

“She will, eventually. Because you are a good man, Jace” Chase assured. Jace deserves to be loved. No matter what he’s done to Arianna, he is a good man who knows how to love to the ends of the earth.

Jace nodded, his eyes clouded and he forced a smile, taking his glass of juice to his lips.
