The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

Ethan waved them bye and watched the car drive off before joining Irish.

He let out a breath…

Irish opened the limo door and got in, Ethan got in after her and ordered his driver to start driving.

“You upset about something?” Ethan asked, noticing the frown on her face.

“Uh?.. nothing” She said.

‘Dont freaking tell me this is jealousy Irish!’ her mind scolded her.

“We’ve been waiting for ages” Arin complained as Ethan and Irish walked into the dining room. She and Gabrielle have been waiting for them before having their dinner.

“We’re sorry” Irish smiled.

“For ages? Take it easy with the exaggeration V” Ethan said and they laughed.

“You both should go wash your hands first before joining us here” Arin said.

“Of course we will” Ethan said.

“How’s your mum Irish?” Gabrielle asked.

“The surgery’s still ongoing, we haven’t heard anything yet” Irish said.

“I’m going to pray to God to make her survive because she made me a sweater i love so much” Arin said petting Dolly and Irish smiled.

“You don’t have to read me bedtime stories tonight, you must be so tired from the stress you’ve gone through today” She added.

“Wow…” Irish laughed.

“Thanks Arin” She said.

“Go wash your hands let’s eat please” Gabrielle said.

“Oh.. my World best chef is starving seriously” Ethan joked and they all laughed.

“Arin, Manners please. Can you take the dog out of the dinning?’

“Ah Dad!” Arin whined.

“Good night Arin” Irish pecked her cheek.

“Goodnight Irish” Arin said sleepily.

Irish gently left the room and walked towards the stairs.

Ethan had told her to come to the living once she’s done with Arin.

She descended the stairs slowly.

Her gaze met with Javad’ss who was standing by the end of the stairs.

She wasn’t in the mood to return his glare, she just walked on.

She got to the living room and instead of meeting Ethan, she met Arusha.

“What!” She exclaimed, walking to him.

“What’s wrong? What are you doing here?” She asked.

“I sent a driver to go pick him” Ethan said walking into the living.

Irish turned.

“Cause starting from now, he’ll be staying here till your mum’s return”

“Huh?”

“Yeah” Arusha grinned.

“I know you’re so worried about him being alone in the house, it’s not safe” Ethan said. “Yeah, thank you… thank you so much” Irish said.

She feels so relieved, now she won’t have to worry anymore about Arusha cause she’ll be seeing him everyday!

The five years away from him is enough already.

She glanced at her brother who was grinning happily and she smiled too.

“Thank you Mr Ethan, I’m so grateful” Arusha said.

“It’s fine, boy! Have you had dinner?” Ethan asked.

“Yes”

“Okay, Gladys will show you to your room” Ethan said and it was then Arusha and Irish noticed Gladys was in the living room.

“We can share my room” Irish said.

“No, i already made them prepare his room, there are enough rooms here” Ethan said.

“Ohh.. okay” Irish said.

“Do not cause any trouble here and just shower and go to bed immediately you get to your room. We’ll talk tomorrow” Irish said to Arusha as he followed Gladys.

“Okay sis” He winked and playfully dragged her cheeks.

She smiled and watched him leave.

“Geez! His luggage made it seem like he’ll be spending years here” Irish said and Ethan laughed.

“Thank you so much” She said to him again.

“Arrrgh” He groaned…”Enough of that Irish”

“No, allow me thank you. That’s the only way that shows how grateful i am”

“Okay fine… I’m going to the library, care to join me?” Ethan asked.

“I don’t mind, i won’t be able to get any sleep if i should return to my room now” Irish said.

“No” Ethan said when Irish picked a novel to read.

They just finished litting the fireplace.

“What?” Irish asked.

“Let’s not read, let’s just discuss” He said.

“Ohh… fine then” Irish dropped the novel.

They both sat in front of the fireplace, no one spoke up.

“Hey! Aren’t you the one supposed to speak up. You wanted to discuss!” Irish said inwardly.

“I’m sure Gabrielle would have told you not to enter the room beside the pool” Ethan broke the silence.

“Ohh.. yes! She did when she was showing me around the house and i wondered what was in there”

“Nothing is in there, it’s just a normal room that belonged to Carrle, who was my godmother… care to listen to some stories?” Ethan asked.

“Of course” Irish said eagerly.

“Okay… i loved Carrle so much. She topped the list of people who helped me become successful, her words and advises groomed me into the man i am today. She told me not todepend on my parents wealth but work hard for mine, ‘Hustle like you’re poorest man on Earth’ She always told me, our bond was unbreakable and a lot of people do mistake her for my mother”

“Wow” Irish smiled.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“You should know my parents are billionaires and they were ready to spoil me and my brother but Carrle prevented that, or let’s say she successed in saving me from being a spoil brat, My brother was a expection. She was Gabrielle’s close friend and they do stay in the kitchen together. I should tell you this, the reason Gabrielle never want to leave the kitchen is because that’s where most of her memories with Carrle are. It’s been years now but none of us have gotten over her death”

“I’m so sorry about that” Irish said sadly.

“She died of food poisoning, she was poisoned right in this house and till date, the culprit have not been apprehended. Detectives tried all they could but they couldn’t fish out the person, investigations went on for years until they finally washed their hands off the case.

She died on the same day my daughter arrived the world. She didn’t get to see Arin whom she had prepared so much to meet” Ethan said.
