Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

“What?” Sandy asked in surprise.

“You heard me.” I said to her sadly..

“So that’s how it has been since?” She asked again.

“Yes, I don’t really know what to do anymore. I mean, I’ve been really good to him. I didn’t expect that he would treat me this way.” I whispered.

I was currently at Sandy’s house, busy pouring out all of my heart to her. I didn’t want to tell her at first but it has been eating me up inside. It’s been a week since that incident between Adrian and I happened.

Since that day, things weren’t the same anymore. We hardly talk to each other like we used to, we don’t have time for each other, or rather he doesn’t have my time.

He’s always occupied with work at his company and whenever he’s at home, he spends all of his time at his office. He doesn’t even come outside to eat with me like he used to.

At first, I thought I shoukd juat play along with his annoying behavior because I was really mad at him for what he did in his office that day but as time went on, the anger was gradually replaced with loneliness.

The most annoying part was that be was fine with how things are. I mean, he doesn’t even try to reach out to me. I mean, I didn’t try either but he was the one at fault amd I was the one that was hurt so he’s supposed to come apologize to me but he never did.

He never bothered to reach out to me, to see if I was still mad at him. I guess he doesn’t really care that much about what I think. Probably because he already has a lover. I could feel my heart shatter more when I recalled how he was staring at that jewelry box with so much affection in his eyes.

Whoever that woman is, I know that I can never ever be able to compete with her. She’s obviously the one in his heart. While I’m just some lady that he was forced to get married to.

“I know girl. He’s s real douchebag for what he did. But, how come you’re just telling me about all these now?” Sandy’s voice brought me out of my heart wrenching reverie.

“When it happened, I thought it wouldn’t hurt me that much. Afterall, we just started acting like real husband and wife. I never knew that it would hurt me this way.” I muttered as a lone tear slipped down my eyes.

“Are you crying?” Sandy asked in surprise.

“Huh??” I placed my thumb on my face and felt the warmth of the tear that had slid down my cheek. I stared at it in surprise.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

This was the first time I was crying over someone, a guy rather. I didn’t shed a tear when I found out about Lucas. Why am I crying now? What the hell is wrong with me??

“I wasn’t crying. Something entered my eye.” I lied as I dried my eyes with a tissue immediately. I can’t shed my precious tears over someone that obviously wants to have nothing to do with me. That’s really pathetic.

Sandy stared at me with a doubting expression on her face. I don’t really blame her as my excuse was a very obvious lie. Thankfully, she just nodded her in understanding and didn’t pressurize me anymore.

“So what are you going to do now?” She asked.

“Like I’ve always been doing. I’m not going to let something like that hold me back. If he wants nothing to do with me, I’ll give him the space he wants. I can’t be feeling this way when he obviously doesn’t give a fuck.”

“What if that’s not the case?”

“I don’t understand.” I said in confusion.

“I mean, what if he has been trying to reach out to you but you’re the ine that doesn’t want to open up to him?” She asked again.

“If he had been trying to reach out to me like you said, there would have been results. I wouldn’t have even bothered to complain to you.” I answered.

“Alright then. I guess you should reach out to him then.”

“Why should I do that?”

“If he doesn’t want to apologize, you have to remind him that he has a reason to do so. Afterall, you were the one that was hurt.”

“What if it doesn’t change anything?”

“Then you’d be able to conclude that he’s the one with the problem.”

“But he is..”

“Ariel, just do be the bigger person and approach him. I know you want to. Besides, prom is in two days. You can’t attend without him.”

“I can. I don’t need a date to attend. I can just go with you since you don’t have any.”

“Who told you I don’t??”

“You and I know that you’ve rejected all the boys that asked you out to prom even Marcus.” I said.

I really wonder why she did that. I mean, most girls would jump at that opportunity as no one would want to be alone during prom. Is she waiting for Hillary to ask her??

Well, if she is, then she should consider her prayers answered because I know what to do to make him ask her.

“Doesn’t mean I want to go with you.” She said.

“Why not??”

“I don’t want to have to pity someone all through the party. See Ariel, just fix the issues with your husband. At least, try to. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll be your date.”

“You promise?” I asked.

“Yes, but remember, you have to try and make amends with him.” She reminded.

“Fine.” I said in a begrudging manner.

**LATER THAT DAY**

I was back in the mansion. Like I had expected, Adrian wasn’t at home so I took that time to prepare dinner for us both. It took some time but with the help of the cooks around, I was able to get it done before he came back.

I went into my room and took a shower before putting on my night dress. I was almost done when I heard the sound of his car entering the mansion. He’s back.

I rounded up with what I was doing and rushed back downstairs so I would be able to catch up with him. Luckily, he was still in the living room when I got there.

“Welcome home Adrian.” I greeted as I walked towards him. He had a very surprised look on when he heard my voice. I collected his suitcase form him and gave it to a maid to take to his office.

“You must be really tired and hungry. Come on, I made us dinner.” I whispered as I held his hand and pulled him with me towards the dinning hall.

He looked really dumbstruck all through like he wasn’t expecting me to act this way. I really didn’t want to but Sandy was right. I figured I had to do something to amend our relationship.

I just hope that it works..
