One Night With The Billionaire

Arianna squinted. She turned and glared at Richard. The latter looked away. Then she turned and glanced at Jane, who pouted her lips and stared at her son with a disapproved glance.

“You invited me over for something else and not just for sharing a breakfast with you?” Arianna asked, glancing at her stepmother.

“Yes. But we’ll have breakfast first” Jane Delmark replied and held her hand and they came to the dining table together.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Throughout the breakfast, Richard kept throwing glances at Arianna. Suddenly he asked “Arianna, you know our dad hasn’t been home for days now, right?”

Arianna dropped her cutleries and glared at Richard. “Yes, I know,” she responded. She could guess where Richard was heading.

“And you are spending time with him without pleading with him to return home. Mom is worried about dad and you are not concerned about mom, right?” Richard reprimanded.

“On the contrary, I still talked about coming home to dad last night. He told me he would sleep over it. But why are you blaming me for whatever the reason was that dad isn’t coming home?

He’s an adult. He can’t be forced to do whatever he doesn’t want to do. You think I do not care about this family simply because I am not a bonafide member of it?

I think you should find dad and talk to him as well. You’ve known him for a long time. You grew up in his arms, you should be able to coax him to do so” Arianna replied.

“I can’t. I am the reason why he left home. There is nothing I can say to dad that he would listen to me. Besides, you are a bonafide member of this family.

I don’t know Where you got that lame idea from. If you hadn’t moved in with Jace, I would have persuaded you to move in” Richard declared.

“Richard is right. You both are the children I’ve got. You shouldn’t make that mistake of thinking you are an outsider. You are Adrian’s daughter and you are mine too” Jane Delmark corrected.

Arianna held Jane’s hands and gave it a soft squeeze. Her eyes went teary and she smiled. Jane also smiled.

“I’ll call dad now,” Arianna said. She took her phone and dialled Adrian’s contact and he soon answered the phone.

“Arianna” the thick masculine voice echoed from the other end of the phone.

“Good morning dad” Arianna said and Adrian replied to her. Arianna asked him if he was coming home. She’s actually in the house, waiting for him.

“I’m coming over to pick a few items” Adrian responded and soon hung up. “Dad will soon be home,” Arianna announced.

It wasn’t quite ten minutes, they heard the honking of a car. Adrian walked in and Jane went to hug him, he dodged her and glanced at Arianna “You want to see me?”

“No dad. I came over for breakfast and I saw that Mom missed you so much” Arianna said.

“Your Mom doesn’t miss me. She has Richard with her” Adrian replied and glanced at Richard, still provoked.

“Dad I’m sorry” Richard apologised and went to hug his dad but Adrian said “No need. I’m not done looking at myself in the mirror.

Meanwhile, don’t stalk or trail me again. Because if you do, I will shoot a bullet into your skull” he warned and went upstairs.

Jane sighed. It seemed she would go teary. She glanced at Richard and the latter shrugged.

“I think you should go to him. Do whatever you can to make him talk to you. He’s your husband’s mom, you should know his weaknesses” Arianna declared and winked an eye.

Jane smiled and went in. Arianna and Richard glared at each other. Richard tried holding Arianna’s hand but she avoided his touch.

“You’re still mad with me, right?” Richard asked, crossing his hands around Arianna’s shoulders. He pulled her to himself and kissed her temple.

“Shouldn’t I be? You think it’s not proper that I should be mad with you? After what you did to Genesis, I have no words to say to you” Arianna snapped at him.

“I flopped. I know I hurt her. But please believe me, I thought I was with Genesis. I went to her place and she sent me out. We had a misunderstanding.

I was furious and went to the bar. I got drunk and groggily drove home. When Tessa came, it was Genesis I saw. I was hallucinating. I was the one who hugged her and told her I was glad she came.

I swear I didn’t see her as Tessa. In my vague memory, I remember kissing her and undressing her. I wouldn’t do that to anyone else besides her.

I wish you would believe me. Dad wouldn’t believe me and that’s where we had a misunderstanding. My Mom wouldn’t believe me either and the same with dad” Richard explained.

“Honestly, I don’t think I will believe you as well. You still loved Tessa very much. You openly showed your feelings for her at the engagement party.

You told Genesis that she forced a kiss on you at the beginning. You said you would have probably made up with Tessa if she hadn’t thrown herself at you.

Now telling me it’s not intentional, how do you want me to believe you? You know that she loves you. She was suspicious of your relationship with her, but you don’t care.

If you were drunk and claimed you were hallucinating. Was Tessa also hallucinating? What is she doing in your apartment at such an hour if she doesn’t have an ulterior motive?

Was she also drunk? When you undressed her, why didn’t she stop you, knowing she’s not your girlfriend. Why did she let you fuck her?

She can’t let you go, right? She wants to be back in your life and she succeeded. I think you should go back to her and get reunited with her. Forget about Genesis” Arianna seethed.

“You don’t believe me?” Richard asked helplessly. No one believes him. Genesis, his dad, mom and now his only sister. No one believes him.

“Yes bro. I don’t believe you” Arianna declared firmly.

Jane held Adrian’s waist from behind. The latter kept putting clothes in his suitcase and quickly closed it. He picked the suitcase when Jane stood in front of him, blocking his paths.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Adrian snapped. His stare was cold and he glared at his wife.
