The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

No ghost was knocking.

It’s the midnight breeze making the tree branch hit the window.

Arin and Irish stopped screaming when they realised it was no ghost.

Their eyes widened in disbelief and they both started laughing hard with tears still on their faces.

Bodyguards already filed into the room in dozens, their guns cocked. One of them switched on the light.

“It’s nothing guys”Ethan told them, there was still laughter in his eyes. He sat on Arin’s bed watching the both of them laugh.

They look so beautiful and seeing them in tears earlier had almost broken his heart. Watching them laugh now made him smile.

He found his eyes trailing down Irish’s body and he must admit he has never seen her in her nightwear, it looks so… sexy on her, almost transparent.

He glanced at his bodyguards and saw their lustful gazes on her body. Irish was unaware as she was still laughing with ArinCcontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Ethan quickly handed her his robe and sent his bodyguards a hard glare.

They stared down at their feet knowing he had caught them. They knew they were going to be reprimanded in the morning.

“Ohh… thanks” Irish said embarrassed as she took the robe from Ethan. “You guys can leave now” Ethan said to his bodyguards.

They turned and left the room..

Irish tightened the robe around her body and muttered thanks to Ethan again.

“It’s fine, i still have my shorts anyway” Ethan said and Irish found her gaze on his breathtaking body.

She swallowed hard, admiring his masculine chest laced with black curly hair which travelled narrowly down his flat stomach and then into his shorts.

She glanced up at his face and saw his black curly hair looked messy, his eyes were kind of red too like he cried.

No, she’s the one who cried, she’s the one who had almost gone crazy cause a tree branch was hitting the window.

“You told me you were brave enough Irish” Arin said mockingly. “I thought i was” Irish said and Ethan laughed.

“Like seriously? You both cried cause of a ghost that was not even there” Ethan laughed harder and Irish bit her lips in embarrassment.

She must really stop this act of crying like a baby.

Gosh! She must have looked so funny while crying and screaming at the same time.

“The tree has overgrown, I’ll make sure the branches are mended by the gardener tomorrow” Ethan said.

“I can’t believe it was just a tree branch” Irish laughed and Arin joined her. They were still finding the whole thing funny.

The way they had behaved showed they would have probably fainted if it was a real ghost.

“Okay, now that we know it’s just a tree branch, can we all go back to sleep” Ethan said even though he wasn’t feeling sleepy yet.

He had been thinking of Carrle when he heard the scream the second time.

“I’m not feeling sleepy” Arin pout.

“Me too” Irish said, loving the feel of Ethan’s robe on her body, it feels so warm against her skin, like she was in his arms.

If his robe made her feel this way, how will his bare body make her feel?.

Geez!

What the hell is wrong with her.

She can’t believe she’s thinking this way.

“I think im not sleepy too, what do we do?” Ethan asked.

“Anything, I’m fine with anything as long as I’m with you both, i can’t spend the rest of the night alone” Arin said.

“Why don’t we…” Irish paused and both Ethan and Arin gazed at her. “Why don’t we what?” Ethan ask.

“Why don’t we all sit in front of the fireplace” Irish suggested. “Good idea!” Arin said.

“Okay, you both should lead the way, i have to go put on something” Ethan said. “Okay dad. Let’s go Irish” Arin said.

Ethan is so surprised at how fast Arin is getting used to Irish.

He wondered what was involved cause Arin don’t just get along with her nannies.

He shrugged as he walked out after them.

“I’ll join you guys soon” he said as he made for his room. “Okay” Irish and Arin chorused.

Irish arranged the woods in the fireplace and then lit it.

“Why don’t we get some cake and juice in the kitchen while the woods burn” Arin said. “Will your dad be fine with it?” Irish asked.

“Of course” Arin said.

They both walked out of the library and then into the kitchen.

Irish switched on the light and almost screamed when she saw Gabrielle seated with her head placed on the table.

Looks like she’s asleep.

“Oh.. no! Gabrielle fell asleep in the kitchen again” Arin said. This isn’t the first time she’ll do that.

Gabrielle do place her head on the kitchen table after dinner, and end up sleeping off.

So Ethan had made it a duty to always check the kitchen before he sleeps but he was so disturbed yesternight.

He didn’t even checked on Arin.

“She sleeps in the kitchen?” Irish asked.

“No, I’m sure she slept off while resting” Arin said. “Ohh” Irish said.

“My dad do check the kitchen every night to make sure she’s in her room, i wonder what went wrong yesternight” Arin said.

“What’s going on? I thought you guys would be in the li..” Ethan was saying as he walked into the kitchen but stopped when he saw Gabrielle.

“Why didn’t you check on Gabrielle before going to bed? Now her neck would hurt from sleeping that way” Arin said, feeling sorry for Gabrielle and a bit pissed at her Dad.

“I’m so sorry about that, i was quite disturbed yesternight” Ethan said walking to Gabrielle to wake her up.

“Disturbed? Does that means he truly cried like she suspected” Irish thought. “By the way, i thought you would be in the library” Ethan said.

“I wanted some cake and juice so we came to get it. Irish lit the firewoods already” Arin said. “Yeah, i saw that” Ethan said, tapping Gabrielle gently on her shoulder.
