One Night With The Billionaire

Arianna sniffled. She cleaned her tears and sat down. No matter what, she needs her father’s help in some ways, especially now that he would become the number one citizen of Hilton City.

“I need you to help me talk to Jace. He has issues with Richard as well. His practising licence has been revoked and can only get it back if he won the case in court.

I was wrong and I tried apologising to him. He is not interested in listening to me. I cannot let anything happen to Richard’s reputation in his profession and I also know what Jace was capable of doing. So will you help me dad?” Arianna requested.

Senator Adrian Delmark kept his gaze on his daughter. He hates involving himself with things that are capable of staining his hard built reputation.

“It really doesn’t concern me with what happens to Richard. You should be able to talk things with Jace because you know him better than anyone else” Senator Adrian Delmark declared.

“That serves Richard right. He got what he really deserves. But I am disappointed in you, Arianna. I wish I could scold you more.

I may not be your birth mother, but you are Adrian and Susan’s daughter, that makes you my daughter as well and I do not love you less than I do for my son.

What you did hurts me a lot. I can imagine how Jace would be feeling at the moment. That guy loves you even when your true identity is still unknown.

And your brother couldn’t caution you, rather, he helped you achieve your murderous act. Why didn’t he bring you to your senses, why didn’t he give you other options besides having an abortion?” Jane Delmark asked in fury.

“This is not my brother’s fault at all. I am the one wrong here. He helped me and I don’t think he should be blamed for giving his sister a hand of help when she needed it”Arianna responded, defending her brother.

This is her fight alone. She doesn’t want Richard dragged into it. He warned her back then and even told her to discuss things with Jace first. She was the one who insisted. Now, she doesn’t want him to regret coming to her aid when she requested for it.

“This is the first time I am actually requesting you to do something for me, dad. I want Jace back. I love him and you are going to help me, right?” Arianna pleaded with a tear -filled eyes.

Adrian Delmark was just staring at her, unable to say yes or no. What was she thinking back then, that Jace would not find out about the abortion?All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing her father was hesitating to answer her, she turned and glared at her stepmom. “Jane Mom, will you help me, talk to Jace for me” Arianna pleaded.

Next day, Chase invited his parents to have dinner with him and his daughter. To make a complete home, he invited Jace and Eli.

Amelia and Henry Hudson were happy with Chase. They met his blue eyed daughter and they immediately liked her. Amelia hugged the little girl, she’d become a grandmother to another child.

This girl might not be Chase’s biological daughter, but she bears a resemblance with the Hudson’s family members, especially Eli. Their eyes are the same.

Jace and Eli arrived. The family was happy. It’s just the immediate family and Bella felt the warmth of a family. She’s four but has only lived her life in the orphanage.

Twice two couples came to adopt her, but she cried and said she doesn’t want to go with them. They ended up adopting other kids.

But now, she knows she’s found a home with her father and a family with his family. Bella was all smiles.

She was dressed in a beautiful Cinderella gown, making her appear splendid like a fairy princess.

At the dinner, Henry Hudson asked “Where is your fiancee?” fixing his gaze on his eldest son.

“I don’t know, dad” Jace replied simply and dug his cutleries into the sauced chicken before him. And he felt at ease saying it because he knows that’s the truth. He doesn’t know where that woman surnamed Delmark is.

His parents exchange glances at each other. Jace, not knowing where Arianna is? That’s unlike him.

“Why don’t you call her to join us here for dinner?” Henry suggested. He should call her and know where she is. She would become a full member of the family soon.

“I will not call her. We don’t need her presence” Jace responded with a sneer. If his dad can let him have a peaceful time having his dinner, he would greatly appreciate it.

“Is there a misunderstanding between you and Arianna?” Amelia asked, her facial expression had changed into that of a person filled with worries.

“Arianna Delmark is not my fiance anymore. We broke up or better still, I broke up with her. I am officially letting you both know about it.

The only relationship I share with her is connected to Eli. She’s the mother of my son. Besides that, we are strangers now” Jace declared as a matter of finality, glancing from one of his parents to the other.

Amelia’s face turned ashen. After several years of living in solitary, Jace found love again in Arianna. What happened this time, this will break him and might push him to the point of waiting another ten years before falling in love again.

“We should be discussing your marriage, Jace. I thought my worries were less by one after you fell in love with Arianna. What I least or never expected to hear is break up.

What happened, don’t you love her anymore? I know you Jace, you are very loving towards your women, what happened between you both, where is the love you both shared?” Amelia coaxed

Amelia stretched her hand over the dinner table to hold Jace but the latter moved his hand off.

Jace’s eyes had gone red, he dropped his cutleries noisily and his palm formed a fist. His veins seemed to pop out and he smashed his fist on the table.

“Don’t talk to me about love anymore, mom. Because it doesn’t exist! it has always been a one sided thing. Love is Scam!!..”
