One Night With The Billionaire

Arianna’s eyes were moist and she sniffled. He’s done the worst, he’s gone the extreme. A temporary restraining order against her? What on Earth had she done to this fellow surnamed Hudson?

Why is she experiencing so much pain in this life? First, she didn’t get the privilege to be raised by her mother. She only has a vague memory of her before she died. She was barely five when her mom left her.

She was with her father before Emily came into their lives. Growing up in Jason’s family house was hard. And Ethan came into her life.

The last thing about Ethan that she is trying hard not to remember was his betrayal. He cheated her in love and that led to that club.

Of all the men who worked as gigolo in that club that day, why does it have to be that arrogant brat that she collided with? Why was she so unfortunate to stumble upon him?

Now, that she thought her life was taking shape, that she has put the pieces of her life together and wants to live her life to the fullest with her son, this individual appeared and came to ruin it.

Was she jinxed not to find happiness in this life? She would have been married to the man she loved but a day to her wedding, she was stung with the venom of betrayal.

She has been a single mom and now that she wants to work hard to raise her son, he was taken away from her. This life was cruel to her. It’s better if death can locate her, if she knew its address, she would have sent him a letter to come and take her with him.

She was sobbing now. She has never felt such resentment for any man like she was feeling at that moment for Jace Hudson. She wished she could set her eyes on him, she would scratch his face.

Arianna stood up and went to her kitchen. She has sent her friends away. She couldn’t be with her son, no job and an arranged marriage waiting for her.

If she dies, no one is going to miss her. No one is going to mourn her. Her life made no meaning. But the pain she felt in her heart can never be erased forever.

Sleeping and not waking up again would do her a lot of good. It’s better that way. She got into her bedroom and contemplated on what to do next:

An hour later, Richard and Genesis left the club and came to check on Arianna. They got to her apartment and used the doorbell but after several attempts, no response.

Genesis was busy dialling Arianna’s cell phone number, but the latter wasn’t answering her phone. She became restless. Arianna can’t possibly be ignoring them so much.

They needed to talk with her, explain to her that they meant her no ill when they decided to take Eli out. Genesis in particular wants to apologise to her and seek her forgiveness.

“I am worried, Richard,” Genesis complained. Aria is not such a person that would keep a grudge with her and not even answer her phone when she calls. They’ve been friends from childhood and not mere college mates.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“I’m having this feeling that everything is not fine. My instinct is making me restless,”Richard declared. This feeling was similar to what he had when his mom was involved in an accident..

Goosebumps were all over his body. Genesis cannot see it because he was dressed in a suit but he could perceive it and it’s making him restless about it all.

“Maybe she’s not home. But then, why isn’t she answering her phone?” Genesis asked. Richard’s eyes were glued at her door. He has this feeling that Arianna is home, but she had refused to answer her phone.

“She’s home. The door is bolted from within”Richard replied, bending over, peeping and scrutinising the door. Genesis also looked and suddenly, both of them glanced at each other.

The exchange of glances was so sudden and lingered longer than normal. A sudden feeling overwhelmed them and they both blurted:

“She might be in danger” Genesis declared.

“Something isn’t right,” Richard exclaimed. The feeling gushed through him again and he was certain, Arianna had done something terrible to herself. He hoped the thoughts crossing his mind would be false, he hoped.

“Richard, please let’s pull down the door” Genesis pleaded. Before the words would leave Genesis’ lips, Richard had returned to his car and brought out an iron.

He rushed back and hit it hard on the lock. He did it twice and the third time, the door was forced open. He dashed inside Arianna’s room and saw it’s empty.

Her cell phone was on the cheap centre table but she’s not in. “Aria, Aria” Genesis call. She suddenly sighted Arianna’s phone and picked it up, she saw that it was placed on silent.

“She’s in” Genesis said and Richard said she could check on her in the bedroom. Genesis went into her bedroom and soon, Richard heard her scream.

“Arianna, Arianna, Nooooooo” Genesis screamed.

Ten minutes later Richard was driving at a high speed, he was on the phone with the emergency unit of the hospital….
