One Night With The Billionaire

Jace’s eyes became dark. He glared at Arianna with a frosty stare. He was trying his best not to flare up and call her a lying bastard.

“It appears you are very happy today?” Jace asked and Arianna in her simplicity answered “Yes, very happy. You know I haven’t felt like this in a while. I feel pleased and satisfied” she chimed.

Jace was taking his glass of coffee to his lips when he asked. But hearing Arianna’s answer, his hand was suspended in the air.

Pleased and satisfied? She felt pleased and satisfied and she’s really happy. She sounded so and even lied to him in her excitement.

When a woman is happy and elated, she doesn’t know when she spills secrets but Arianna didn’t make that mistake of saying she left the Mansion and met her ex boyfriend, Ethan.

Did they have an affair? Did he fuck her when they were alone together and the door shut on them? Is that the reason she changed her mind after arriving at the company with him, and said she was returning home?

She had planned to meet Ethan at her former place, so they could grease each other? She had always wanted to go to her apartment, she would tell him his Mansion was bored.

It seemed everything was making a lot of sense to him now. It was boring because he wasn’t giving it to her, right? But last night, they had sex. He didn’t say no when she asked him for it.

How can she still be seeing her ex? How can she be sleeping with a man that jilted her and was married to her friend. Jace’s eyes went red and the thought of being betrayed made him feel sick at the sight of Arianna.

His hand holding the glass of coffee was pressed against the glass that it shattered. The atmosphere became cold and Jace’s eyes didn’t for once blinked as he fixed them on Arianna.

Arianna stood up in haste. She took two steps backwards. She didn’t understand what was happening. Why is Jace staring at her as if he would strangulate her?

She hasn’t done anything to him. Then she remembered the incident that happened before she left the compound to go to her apartment. It played in her memory like a drama now.

The security guard went away and soon returned and let her out. They informed Jace and it is certain he would send men to trail her and find out where she went.

Then Ethan. She was alone with Ethan for a few minutes. They probably would have told Jace something. She shivered and understood what made him appear the way he did.

He’s been betrayed before. He would take it out on her. He would think she cheated on him. How can she make him understand and accept her explanation after she told him she was home all day?

She saw his palm, it was bleeding and he didn’t care as much about it. He just fixed his gaze on her as if he would swallow her whole.

“Darling, you’re bleeding” she rushed forward to hold him but he took his hand away “leave me alone” he ordered in a thunderous voice.

Arianna’s eyes went teary. She glared at him with an apologetic stare. He’s always apologising to her but this time, she is the one to apologise and ask him to forgive her.

He stood up slowly and Arianna subconsciously took a few steps backwards. Her complexion had gone reddened. How can she explain herself to him to accept her apologies.

“How many more lies have you been telling me? What other secret are you keeping away from me? How many of us do you sleep with and who do you want to make your choice?” Jace asked successively.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

His voice was hoarse and cold. Open space became like an enclosure, a cage where Arianna doesn’t know the way to escape through.

“I’m sorry. How can I make you understand everything now? I’m sorry” Arianna apologised.

“How many of us have you been sleeping with and who do you want to make your choice?” Jace asked, ignoring her apologies.

“You. It’s you. For both of your questions, it’s you, it’s only you Jace” Arianna asked hurriedly.

He grabbed her by her shoulders and yelled into her face “Then tell me what you were doing with your ex behind closed doors? Tell me why you lied to me that you would be home when you left me this morning?

Tell me why you still lied to me that you were home all day and not bored? Tell me why you said you were happy because you were pleased and satisfied? Just tell me Arianna Jason?

You don’t love me, right? You said I am not your type of man. Ethan Rumero is your type of man, the one you used to love, still love and cannot stop loving, right?

You don’t have a place for me in your heart. I do not suit you, I don’t possess the qualities you want in a man nor am I romantic enough, right?

Just tell me that unique thing about Ethan that you do not see in me? Tell me, just tell me Arianna?” He bellowed. His arms were hard on Arianna’s shoulders and she was feeling hurt.

Her tears were cascading down her face and she closed them in pain. He suddenly realised that he was hurting her and released her. Her left shoulder was blood stained because of the injury in his right palm.

He turned his back to her and said “I can’t force you, Arianna. I swear I will let go. It doesn’t make any sense if I force you to be with me when your heart and mind is occupied by someone else.

You said he pleased and satisfied you, then go. Maybe I can’t give you that satisfaction that you want, but he does. I want you to be happy, Arianna. I release you to go..” he concluded and walked away.
