Chapter 54: Not my kind of man
Arianna’s voice choked. Will he believe her now? He had never believed her in the past. He said she was a spy, she was after him for a purpose. He even abused her and said she slept with his brother.
“I didn’t have anything with your brother Chase Hudson nor any man in my entire life besides you. I hope one day, you will believe me when I say I am not that kind of a woman” Arianna concluded and cleaned her tears.
Her eyes had gone red. She sniffled. She didn’t want to talk to him, she really didn’t want to but he talked to her nicely and asked her to become a family with him and their son.
Now, the pain and hurt of the past, gushed back into her heart and memory. He cheated her, abused her, disbelieved her and took away her right of motherhood to Eli. He really trampled on her in the past.
“Please Arianna. Don’t sob. You’ll make me feel guilty more. I believe everything you were trying to make me understand in the past.
I know now, that our one night stand was not a planned, premeditated thing. And I also know that you didn’t have affairs with Chase. I also know that you are one decent sweet woman. I believe everything now..”Jace declared.
Arianna raised her head and glared at him. Jace nodded and saw a ray of relief pass through Arianna’s eyes. Yes, he believed her and would always believe her henceforth.
Before Jace could say something else, Richard and Chase walked in, talking and laughing hysterically. “… She’s my girlfriend…” Richard declared.
“She’s beautiful and I admire her,” Chase said. The two friends brought their chitty chatty to an end as they saw Jace sitting by Arianna’s bedside.
“I hope Arianna has agreed to be your girlfriend? You both are absolutely meant for each other” Chase asked, walking over and planting a featherlight kiss on Arianna’s temple.
“She said no,” Jace Hudson stated, his eyes on Arianna. The latter was dazed. He had told his brother about it?
“Oh common, Jace already had a crush on you before this whole incident happened” Chase said, holding Arianna’s hand and kissing it again.
Arianna smiled. “He’s not my kind of man,” she said. Chase was taken aback. Jace, who has a lot of admirers and women hovered around him whenever they see him?
Stinkingly rich, handsome and decent. He is a loving guy as well and kindhearted. What other qualities does any woman want in a man that Jace doesn’t have? Arianna is the first and might be the only woman who has and would ever say Jace is not her kind.
“Just tell me the kind of man you want, I will become that” Jace Hudson asked. He would do anything and everything to be the kind of man Arianna wants. Even if he has to go on his knees and kowtow to her.
“You can never be such a man. You are evil and terrible and have no regards for women. Besides, I hate you like the devil himself” Arianna snapped at him.
There was a needle dropping in silence. Jace Hudson was embarrassed and ashamed of himself before the others in the room. He bowed his head and glared at his palm, his fingers to be precise and fiddled with it.
Chase was silent. His smiles disappeared. Arianna’s words would definitely hurt Jace. He glanced at his brother and saw his facial expression went cold.
“Aria” Richard called and shook his head. She shouldn’t say anything else. She would ruin the entire day for Jace if she said such words to him again.
“Good morning, Richard ” Arianna said and next said “I feel sleepy. Can I have my privacy now?” Arianna said and Jace stood up, he knew she said that because of him.
Jace offered Arianna her phone and was going to go away when they heard voices and noise outside.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“.. I must see her. You can’t stop me from seeing my daughter. Let go of me..” They heard the yelling of a woman by the door.
Arianna recognised the voice. It’s Emily Jason. She’s here to trouble her, again? Or was it Friday already, that they were getting her engaged to the eldest son of the lineage of criminals?
“Arianna, do you know who the woman at the door is?” Chase asked.
“… today I will take my daughter away and treat her at home. Let me in immediately…”
Arianna nodded, “Stepmother” she declared. Chase glanced at Richard and then Jace. The latter shrugged, and Chase went to the door.
He opened it and Genesis walked in first and Emily followed. “This crazy woman of yours is here, Arianna,” Genesis murmured.
“We haven’t gotten the cure for her madness yet” Arianna mumbled. She gnashed her teeth and looked angry already.
As Emily stepped in, the securities followed her in. The entire ward became crowded. Jace disliked it and frowned. What kind of lousy woman is this? Thank goodness she’s Arianna’s stepmom, not her mom. Such a hot blooded temper shouldn’t be inherited by Eli.
“Ma’am, this is a hospital, we don’t condone noise here. You’ll have to come with us” one of the security guards said.
Jace was impressed by the approach of the security agents. They are capable. He would see that they received an additional incentive that month.
“No, I’m here to see my daughter and I have seen her,” Emily declared and went towards Arianna. The securities wanted to apprehend her but Jace waved at them to wait at the door.
“Arianna, I know what your scheme was. I know you deliberately shoved that rich brat aside to get shot to escape your wedding..” Emily began.
