The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“I think they might be good together” Olivia smiled.

Arusha told her about how flushed Jessica had looked after meeting Ryan

“I’m sure Ryan was twice as flushed as she was” Arusha said.

They were waiting for the next teacher, they just finished their second subject of the day.

“Did you… set them up? You knew Jessica was coming? Olivia asked.

“No! I didn’t even expected her to be there this morning, i was surprised when Arin told me” Arusha said.

“Then i guess it’s fate…” Olivia smiled.

“Yes it is..”Arusha said.

“We should wait for what Jessica is gonna say” Olivia said, expectantly.

“Yeah” Arusha agreed, his face met with Jessica and he winked at her.

She smiled at him and turned back to her laptop.

Mrs Helen had been nice to her, she hadn’t even acted like she was aware of the fight that happened between her and Arusha, she was so happy to see her this morning and she even offered to make a nice sweater for her.

Arusha’s family has a nice charm about them.

And is she seriously thinking about Ryan?

Arrgh.

“What did she said?” Olivia asked Arusha as he approached her and Jessica

It’s lunch break and Paris had called Arusha aside to tell him something.

Arusha sighed and sat down…

“Was it about me?” Jessica asked and he shook his head.

“She likes me and want us to be in a relationship” Arusha said.

“Ohh” Jessica wasn’t surprised.

Olivia looked jealous…” What was your reply?”

“No, i don’t have feelings for her and i told her that but she said she isn’t gonna give up” Arusha smiled.

Paris is so lucky he’s changed or he’ll gladly take advantage of her and dump her as soon as he’s done with her.

“So shameless” Olivia hissed and Jessica thought she was acting like Arusha’s

girlfriend.

“No she’s not, she was brave enough to walk up to me. Not many girls can do that” Arusha said.

“I know, but she’s so shameless to say she isn’t gonna give up even after you turned her down” Olivia said.

“Ohh… she doesn’t wanna give up so easily on something she wants. And it’s not like you’re taken or are you?” Jessica asked.

“Uh.. well”Arusha rubbed his neck and stole a quick glance at Olivia who looked like she wanted to kill Paris.

“No, but soon”Arusha said.

Jessica felt she should tell him about Irish, she looks unwell to her.

But Irish might just need some rest… she shouldn’t bother Arusha over that..

Mr Harlow looked thoughtful as he sat in Ethan’s private living room.

He just learned that Irish’s aunt had died of cancer and Irish’s grandmother had too. He was so worried, he feared it might be hereditary, it might be passed to Irish too.

Irish should go for check up soon.

“Hey, what’s bothering you?” Mrs Harlow walked into the living room.

She sat beside her husband and handed him a cup of juice.

“Just thinking about business and all” Mr Harlow lied.

He liked Irish so much and wouldn’t want something to go wrong with her.

“Liar! But I’m gonna spare you, i know you’ll tell me whatever is bothering you whenever you’re ready to” She said and Mr Harlow smiled softly at her.

“Thank you” He said.

“Stop acting cheesy” She rolled her eyes.

“Wait… i hope you’re not gonna die soon? Are you?” She feigned awareness and he laughed.

He couldn’t have asked for a better wife.

NOON

“Hayden had scared everyone with his vampire costume, fake blood was dripping from his face and mouth and we all ended up running off the stage” Arin narrated to Irish and Irish smiled faintly.

She was feeling so weak and she couldn’t even explain why.

She’s gonna rest after helping Arin get changed and settle in her house wears.

She got to her feet after selecting Arin’s wears for that afternoon.

“Irish, are you okay?” Arin asked, she could notice how pale Irish had gone.

“I’m fi..” Irish was saying but she wasn’t strong to hold it any longer.

She felt sick and dizzy, her hands trembled and she really tried to get a grip of herself before loosing balance.

She heard echoes of her name before darkness surrounded her like fog.

Ethan rushed into the hospital and headed for Doc Luc’s office.

He was called Irish went unconscious.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

He opened the door and met his parents and Mrs Gabrielle in there.

“How’s she?” He asked Doc Luc immediately.

“She’s asleep for now and the test result is yet to be out. She’ll be fine” Doc Luc said and Ethan sighed in relief.

“What really happened?” He asked.

“Arin came to me to tell me Irish collapsed and i actually noticed she has been looking pale for days now” Mrs Harlow said.

“I told her she needed rest, she seems to be over working herself” Mrs Gabrielle said but Mr Harlow was quiet.

There seems to be something going on in his mind.

He looked more worried than everyone else.

“Can i see her now?” Ethan asked.

“No, until she’s awake. Any disturbance now would affect her treatment” Doc Luc said. “Doctor, could it be cancer?” Mr Harlow suddenly asked.

“Tony! What the hell are you saying!” Mrs Harlow screamed at him. While Mrs Gabrielle and Ethan stared at him in surprise.

“I’m just worried” Mr Harlow said.

“That was an unfortunate choice of words” Mrs Harlow said.

“Irish’s aunt and grandmother died of cancer!” Mr Harlow revealed and there was deafening silence.

Ethan almost grabbed the chair for support.

“W.. whe.. when? H.. ow d.. id you know that?” Mrs Harlow stammered.

“I knew when Irish’s grandmother died, Fred told me then that she died of cancer and i was checking into Irish’s family when i saw her mother’s sister died of cancer too” Mr Harlow said.

“Oh.. my.. God!” Mrs Harlow exclaimed.

Mrs Gabrielle covered her mouth with her palm.
