One Night With The Billionaire

“… it has never worked for me. I give love and never get it in return. Arianna and I are over, mom. Please don’t poke my heart by mentioning her name anywhere me” Jace bellowed.

Eli dropped his cutleries. His dad and mom are not getting married again? His dad hates his mom now. What did his mother do to hurt his dad this way?

The atmosphere became condensed. Jace’s words were uttered from a wounded heart. The young man is still hurting. Whatever might have been the reason for their break up, it really hits Jace in the place where it hurts badly.

Jace was giving off a compressed aura. Why should his mom talk about love to him? That word had caused him so much pain already.

That feeling has always left him broken, shattered and battered. How can he ever believe in it again? He doesn’t want to hear that word again, it disgusts him.

“Calm down Jace, the kids”Chase said and shrugged, indicating that the kids are there and he should put his temper to check.

Jace swallowed hard and took a glass of water, sipping down. He hasn’t been able to calm down and return to cheerful self yet.

He stole a glance at his son and saw his eyes were teary. He immediately felt guilty for saying those words in his presence.

“Do you hate my mommy now?” Eli forced the words out as his tears ran down his cheeks. His daddy doesn’t like his mom anymore.

“Common Eli. Don’t think that way” Jace replied flippantly. He would never say ‘No’ as the answer to that question. Because what he now feels for Arianna is best described as thick, concentrated hatred.

“You promised me daddy, you told me you and mommy are going to give me a sibling. You said mommy is going to have a baby and now, she’s not here” Eli accused.

Jace’s mood went sour the more. He sighed helplessly and said “I tried to fulfil my promise to you, Eli. But your Mom is not ready. And I don’t have that power to force it on her.

But I am promising you that I will grant your request soon. You want a sibling, right? You’ll get it. That’s my promise to you and it will happen soon.

Also, you have Bella. She’s your cousin. You both have each other and you can be best of friends. I’m sorry that things went this way” Jace explained helplessly.

Women are scum, 70% of them are a piece of jerk. So inhuman and self centred. After everything, love, care, attention, support and sex, they turn their backs on a man and backstab him.

She wouldn’t say anything but would readily accept his dick drilling her hard and next, she gets up and push his seed down with a contraceptive.

And the one that contraceptive couldn’t flush off her belly, she induced a miscarriage. Terrible, looks are deceptive indeed. He would have placed her on a thorough surveillance if he knew she was this smart in things like this.

And who knows if she was outsmarting him like Clara did. He knows he wasn’t doing badly sexually but women can be difficult to satisfy at times, especially those times he would travel for a period of two weeks at a stretch.

He doesn’t trust her anymore. And he cannot have anything to do with someone he cannot trust. Arianna has slipped into his past now.

After Jace left, Amelia became worried. Was her life going backwards by two steps? Jace breaking up with his fiancee makes her feel things are more complicated than she can imagine.

“What really transpired between your brother and his fiancee?” Amelia asked, fixing her gaze on Chase. She tried to know what happened but Jace wouldn’t say anything to her.

“Mom, can you just leave Jace and let him be? If he doesn’t want to tell you, then forget it” Chase responded and looked away.

Jace is protecting Arianna. He doesn’t want his parents to know the gravity of Arianna’s offence. He still loves her.

Amelia eyed her son. She knows he won’t tell her. She only tried her luck and as expected, he didn’t utter a word.

Arianna was pacing back and forth in the bedroom. She sniffled, cleaned her tears and glanced at her phone again. She had tried calling Jace several times, but he wouldn’t answer his phone.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

She sent him several messages but he won’t respond to her. He is mad at her but she’s also sorry. He took it too hard and blew it out of proportion.

She decided to call Chase. The latter answered his phone. “How are you doing, Arianna?” He said, his daughter sitting on his thighs and her head just below his chin.

“I’m not fine Chase. I haven’t had a minute of peace since I last talked with Jace. He is not answering his phone whenever I call nor would he respond to my messages.

How is he doing? How is Eli doing as well? I missed him Chase. I want to talk to him, how can you do it for me?” Arianna stuttered. She was agitating, almost shivering. Even her words and tone indicates her state of mind.

“Jace is fine, and my nephew is doing well. Even my daughter Bella is happy too. Every one of us is happy.

He also misses you. He didn’t tell me so but I guess he missed you. But he decided to hold back and let you go, Arianna. It seems to me that both of you have different thoughts about the future..

Jace for instance, wants to build a family, raise more kids and be a family man. He wants to live happily with his wife and children but he couldn’t achieve that with you.

Or better still, it seemed to him that his desire cannot be met. And you on the other hand want to pursue a career. You want to get to the peak of your career and be among those that matters in your profession.

That makes you both incompatible. Your dreams and ambition cannot go side by side and my brother decided to let you go and do what makes you happy while he finds himself a ready woman who will build his dream with him…” Chase was saying when Arianna bellowed.

“Enough. I want Jace now. I don’t care about anything else but Jace. I am ready to be married and raise a family with him. Will you help me Chase?” She asked, her voice choking.

“I think you should say those lines of words to Jace and let’s see if you both can begin again..” Chase suggested, a beautiful smile appearing on his face.
