The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Vanessa who just stepping into Kyle’s home bumped into a lady who was on her way out..

She pulled off her dark sunglasses after which she casted a hateful gaze at the lady standing before her..

“Won’t you apologize?!”

Arya raised a brow, she chuckled hard, these two were willing to take advantage of Kyle’s memory loss to get what they want..

She squinted her eyes at Vanessa “I should apologize? who are you exactly if I may ask?”

Vanessa looked down at herself in embarrassment, luckily for her she spotted Charlotte coming down from the stairs..

“Charlotte! did you call me here to embarrass me?”

As soon Charlotte reached the last stairs, she stopped with a sigh..

“What do you mean by that? I called you here because we have something important to discuss”

Vanessa pointed a finger to Arya accusingly “This ugly servant just behaved rudely to me!”

Arya caught the finger Vanessa was pointing to her, she gave it a little squeeze.. Vanessa had caused her so much trouble in the past and little by little she’ll pay them all back..

“And so you reported me to her? what do you think she’s gonna do? fire me?”

Arya released her grip on Vanessa and turned back walking to the stairs where she bumped her shoulder intentionally against Charlotte..

She had initially wanted to go out but since Vanessa was here, she was sure that they were up to no good..

“What was that about? and the who the hell is she?!”

Charlotte inhaled deeply, now she was extremely sure that Naomi was up to no good, her audacity spoke much for itself..

“She’s the new nanny I got for Ray and for some reasons, Ray and Kyle agree with anything she says to them!”

Vanessa had a frown on her face, now she noticed that the lady almost sounded like Arya, but it couldn’t be her right?

“I know what you’re thinking and I’m working on that”

Vanessa nodded in understanding “So here I am like you insisted!”

Elizabeth accepted the glass of water from Mia and took a sip from it.

Not too long a figure rushed past them, they both raised their heads to see Dennis’s back hurrying to the direction of Ethan’s study..

“You’re still breathing?”

A mocking voice came behind them, they snapped their gaze to the figure towering over them..

Elizabeth suddenly chuckled, she had a feeling that she and her husband were here to vent their anger and frustration..

“Of course I am Rita! I was just telling Mia here a few business ideas she could really use when running a business!”

Rita’s hands turned into fists by her side, so it was true? the old man really gave Mia the company to handle..

“You just wait and see!” She snarled at the two and followed the direction her husband went..

In as much as Elizabeth wanted to laugh hard right now, she couldn’t, her poor son was still trapped in that woman’s clutches and all her attempt to reach out to Arya weren’t successful..

Ethan looked up to the man glaring down at him in anger, he has actually been expecting his foster’s son arrival after the meeting with the board members..

“I know what you’re about to say but..

Dennis hand slammed on the large desk separating them from each other..

“But? but what exactly?! you gave the company to Mia to handle? and what if she fails to run it properly? will you consider to give Ray the position or perhaps Kyle’s unborn children?!”

“You don’t have any right to question my decision! ”

Dennis facial features relaxed a bit, his lips curled up and suddenly a crackling laughter erupted from his lips..

“Because I’m not your real son? you never fail to remind me of this every single time father!”

Ethan relaxed back on his seat, a small smile played at the corner of his lips..

“At some point, I considered Martin taking up the position, but then I realized that even if I did you’ll find your way to cause another accident, and I’m not ready to lose two grandsons”

Dennis’s face paled, how did his dad find out about the accident?

“What do you mean by that?”

“Just because I kept quiet doesn’t mean I don’t know anything, you paid that truck driver to run Kyle’s car over that fateful day!”

Dennis swallowed back, he was left speechless for some seconds, by the time he found his voice to speak, Ethan stood up and pointed to the door, and in a low growl he uttered..

“Get out!”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Rita stepped into the study at that minute, she noticed the tense environment and wondered what had happened between the two..

“What happened?”

Dennis suddenly turned and stormed out of the room seething in anger, He walked past Rita almost knocking her down like she was never there..

Chloe checked the time once more with a sigh, she has been sitting for three hours straight at the lobby..

She knew he was upset with her but this wasn’t entirely her fault, even though she was humiliated by him today at the hotel, she still needed to settle everything once and for all..

Chloe sighed in defeat and stood up to her feet in defeat, she could barely stand properly because of sitting for too long..

“Miss”

She turned back to the receptionist who called out to her..

“You can go in”

Chloe’s initial thought of giving up disappeared completely, she smiled at the lady and hurried to the elevator..

***

Chloe took in a deep breath and knocked on the door, after which she pushed the door open and stepped in..

Her face fell when she walked in on Bryan and the lady from this morning sharing a passionate kiss while she sat on his laps behind his desk..

She turned around and left the office without looking back, she couldn’t believe it, whenever she had something important to tell him that’s the exact time he’ll do stuff like that..

Few minutes after standing outside his door waiting for him, it was suddenly opened, Mandy stepped out and walked past Chloe with a loud huff..

“Killjoy!”

Chloe arched a brow and walked into the office once more.

Bryan didn’t spare her a look instead he was focused as the screen before him..

“Bryan, can we talk?”

Bryan picked his phone up and tapped on it for some seconds before placing it back down on the desk..

“Five minutes”

She took a seat before him and tried her best not to make a sound..

“I’m sorry for the way my brother…

Bryan shot her an intense stare which made her swallow her words the next second..

“What do you want?” He asked coldly with a blank expression on his face..

“Okay, I know you’re mad at me but I have to tell you something because it’s really important, I don’t think I can continue being your pretend girlfriend anymore, my brother is against…

“Fine! anything else?!” He asked in a low growl

Chloe gave a nod and pulled out her phone, she went through it for a while before placing it into her purse..

“I believe our deal is done”

Almost immediately his phone vibrated on the desk, he stared at her skeptically and back to his phone..

She just sent back the money he paid her earlier, every single cent of it..

“Bye”

Soon after she said that single word, she turned around and left the office without a second glance behind her..

Bryan stared at the closed door and shut his laptop closed forcefully..

Vanessa handed a small bottle filled with tiny white pills to Charlotte..

“Great!”

Charlotte patted Vanessa’s shoulder gently “Look at you trying to be a good friend Vanessa”

Vanessa snorted and picked up her purse ready to leave the room when Naomi stepped in..

“Why can’t you just fire her?”

Charlotte raised a brow wondering what Vanessa was talking about before she noticed Naomi lingering about..

She wrapped her palm around the bottle trying to conceal it from her..

“Kyle doesn’t want her to leave because she’s the only nanny Ray hasn’t rejected”

Arya smiled at Charlotte’s words, she knew these two were up to something but she couldn’t point her finger to what it was that they were plotting while she was away..

Earlier she had tried to eavesdrop but heard nothing since they were both whispering to each other..

“It seems you both have a problem with me, what is my offence?” she asked innocently feigning ignorance..

“Hey! be careful with your words.. mind how you speak to me”

Arya walked to their midst in suspicion, she noticed Charlotte’s right hand was tightly clenched into a fist as if she was concealing something from her..

“You know.. I heard everything”

The two snapped their attention to her in shock, they wondered what she must have heard..

“What do you mean?” Charlotte panicked a little..

Arya glanced up at the stairs when she heard footsteps descending down and before the two could understand what she was trying to do, she threw a slap at Charlotte’s face before dropping to the ground in tears..

“Please don’t threaten me this way ma’am” Arya sobbed holding her cheek..

Kyle turned to them with creased brows, he stared at Arya who was fidgeting on the floor..

He rushed up to them and sent a glare to Charlotte and Vanessa who were obviously bullying Naomi..

“what is going on here?!”

Arya suddenly sprang up to her feet and crashed into Kyle’s embrace..

“Save me”
