The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Ray pouted his lips, today he hasn’t gotten time to spend with Arya and his dad was nowhere to be seen..

Mia touched his shoulder lightly “Hey don’t give me that look Ray.. I’m here okay and I’m sure Arya is on her way to you” She assured and pull him into an embrace..

This nephew of her’s has suffered enough for what he knew nothing about..

“I just want daddy and Arya to be together.. it’s not that hard right?”All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Mia planted a kiss on his head “It takes time Ray.. just exercise a little more patience and everything will fall in place”

Meanwhile….

Arya stood in front of a door, she looked around her new surroundings.. she hasn’t been to this part of the house before either..

She reached her hand to the door knob and pushed it open..

Arya took a peek into the room and was a bit hesitant to go in since it was a little bit dark..

However she mustered enough courage and took a step into the room..

Her hands roam on the wall in search of a light switch and when she found it, she turned it on and almost immediately a gasp escaped her lips..

She walked to the large portrait which was covered in dust and cobwebs..

Arya took out her hand towel and wiped the portrait clean and at the same time she coughed out loud..

Once the portrait was rid of dust her gaze fell upon a couple, Kyle and Charlotte..

In the portrait they were both smiling from ear to ear, if they were this happy then what happened to Charlotte? where is she?

Different thoughts ran through Arya’s mind at that moment, she left the portrait when she spotted a ton of brown boxes covered in dust..

She could already guessed that everything here belonged to Charlotte or perhaps related to her..

She reached for one of the heavy boxes gently and opened it..

Arya took out a golden necklace pendant with a heart shape..

“This?” She asked in confusion and touched her neck in surprise..

Her’s was still present on her neck, was this just a coincidence? She recalled her mum customized this particular necklace for her on her eighth birthday..

She kept the necklace aside and took out a journal…

Dennis laughed awkwardly and stood up when his foster father appeared..

“Oh silly Martin, he’s at his jokes again..”

Ethan knew that this was just more than a joke, he just hoped it wasn’t another one of his stepson’s stupid plot..

He took a seat with the aid of his personal bodyguard..

Rita gulped down nervously when she saw the hefty man present in her living room..

What could have prompted this visit from her father in-law? he rarely visited them and whenever he did, he must have found something bad..

“Father you didn’t brief us on your visit” Dennis said..

Ethan could feel that something was off with the three, he turned his gaze to Martin and his eyes settled on the blue file with him..

Martin who noticed this stood up in a jiffy “Well I guess I’ll leave you all to discuss.. I have to see a friend now bye”

Almost immediately he left the room which was enough to confirm Ethan’s suspicion..

Ethan cleared his throat and turned his gaze back to Dennis.. “Oh come on boy! you’re my son and I have every right to come see you”

Rita chuckled but deep down was anger engraved in her heart, son my foot! after he had abandoned them he still considered himself to be a father..

“The last time you both visited, I was down with an attack and now I’ve come to make myself clear one more time Dennis..”

Dennis forced a smile “Of course you can clear yourself” He urged..

“Stay away from Kyle and his ongoing projects.. that kid has enough on his plate right now for you to trouble” Ethan warmed sternly..

Dennis laughed dryly “I think you’re mistaken father.. I won’t fight for anything that’s not mine”

Rita nodded in support of her husband’s words, Ethan’s eyes narrowed at the both of them.. he noticed some bruises on their body and was instantly curious..

“Why do you have those bruises?”

Rita and Dennis exchanged looks “Well…. we.. umm.. had a little accident a few days back it’s no big deal” Rita murmured..

Ethan could see right through their lies, one side of his lips pulled up into a smirk, he knew this bruises on their body was Kyle’s doing and he didn’t blame Kyle for doing this to his aunt and uncle..

Kyle doesn’t bite unless he has been bitten, Ethan nodded to Rita’s clear lies..

“So how is the financial department going? I heard there was a little loss in the last few weeks ”

Cold sweat broke out on Dennis forehead, just how was he supposed to get out of this one? it seems his father must have known about everything but was just playing dumb..

Rita stood up in a hurry, she didn’t want to be blamed for anything “Father I’ll get you a cup of jasmine tea”

Mia caught sight of Arya sneaking around “Arya”

Arya was startled, she quickly hid the journal behind her back and smiled at Mia..

“Mia! you’re still around? I was just coming to you and Ray just now”

Mia arched a brow and walked to Arya, her gaze landed on Arya’s hand that was behind her..

“What are you hiding?”

“Nothing.. it’s just my journal or you can call it my diary” Arya said with a sheepish smile..

Mia sighed and made an eye contact with Arya “Whatever you’re planning to do.. please don’t do it”

“Huh?” Arya asked confusedly..

Mia cleared her throat “I know you’re already contemplating on how to break free from this marriage but please don’t”

Arya sighed in relief, she suddenly chuckled and punched Mia’s shoulder a little..

“What goes on in that silly mind of yours mia? of course I don’t like Kyle much but I still have Ray who looks up to me.. why would I ever leave Ray?”

Mia sighed in relief and pulled Arya into an embrace..

“Thank you Arya.. the Anderson’s will forever be indebted to you..”

Mia’s eyes fell on the black journal behind Arya which clearly had Charlotte’s name boldly written on it..

“Arya.. where did you find that? if Kyle sees that, he’ll not be happy with you”

Arya pulled away from Mia and brought the journal forward..

“I’ll find her”

Mia’s lips parted in shock, “That’s impossible Arya.. don’t get yourself into this mess”

Arya breathed out “I will get myself involved mia.. Have you seen how broken your brother is lately? he keeps doing things he’s not supposed to do because of a lady who abandoned him and his child”

Mia looked around to ensure no one was passing by especially Kyle..

“Lower your voice Arya.. and listen to me.. it’s been five years already she left without a trace”

“There’s something everyone is missing here Mia.. and I’ll uncover it and make sure Kyle knows the entire truth, it’s time he let go of the past and focus on the future ahead of him..”

Mia tried to snatch the journal off Arya’s hands but Arya was faster..

“My restaurant will be demolished in a month’s time Mia, why? that’s because of Kyle.. he makes certain decisions without thinking and the reason? because of this damned woman called Charlotte!”

Mia was taken aback at the ferocity in Arya’s voice, her eyes had so much sparks of determination she hadn’t seen before now..

“I guess you’re right Arya..” Mia said which earned a smile from Arya..

“And what then? if she’s eventually found what next will happen? you’re only going in circles Arya.. this won’t end well”

Arya stretched forth her palm towards Mia.. “We both want the best for both Ray and his overbearing father Kyle.. so trust me on this one”

Mia sighed in defeat and placed her palm over Arya’s..

“If Kyle kills me because of this.. I’ll haunt you” Mia added..

Arya chuckled, just a few minutes in that room she already had a hunch about what really happened..

Arya took out her phone that was vibrating in her pants pocket and raised it to her ear..

“Who am I speaking with?”

“I sent a letter to you a week ago for you to come meet me.. but you kept me waiting and never showed up”

Arya walked a little farther away from Mia “Who are you?”

“Your nightmare!” The voice broke out followed by an eery laughter..
