Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

*Sandy’s home*

Sandy cam be seen just laying on the bed and staring blankly at the beautiful ceiling in her room. She wasn’t really admiring it as all that was on her was what had happened yesterday.

She was still in shock as that was the first time that she was witnessing such a scene. The most bothering part of it all was that it was Adrian that did that to his cousin of all people and also, how Ariel seemed so cool about it all.

It was as if Ariel didn’t care if there was a dying man in front of her. All she had her eyes on was Adrian. She was more scared someone would catch him in the act than she was about him almost murdering his family.

It made Sandy wonder if Ariel was alright. The love she had for Adrian had blinded her deeply. All she hoped was that Adrian wasn’t that brutal with her. Well, he would since he loved her. Sandy could tell.

Because of that incident of yesterday, Sandy hadn’t been in her right mind to the extent that she didn’t even care that Hillary was the one that drove her home yesterday.

Best of all, he stayed with her throughout the night as she was really frisghted to be alone since her parents traveled overseas for a business meeting. Right now, Hillary was still in her house, making her breakfast.

When that thought occurred to her, she jumped out of her bed and practically ran into kitchen. There he was, shirtless and in his full glory. He was backing her so he didn’t know that she was watching him.

She scratched her eyes and pinched herself softly to know of she was really staring at him. Apparently, she wasn’t dreaming nor was she hallucinating.. Hillary was right in her kitchen, making her breakfast.

“Good morning sunshine.” He said to her when he noticed her presence in the kitchen and flashed her a wide smile. Out of shock, Sandy could only reply his greeting with a loud scream.

He quickly dropped the spatula and turned off the stove before running towards her.

“What’s wrong?? What happened??” He asked as he stared at her in concern.

“Y… you..” She placed her hands on his cheek.

“What are you doing here??” She asked.

“Well, last night I couldn’t leave you alone because of the state you were in so I stayed with you all night. This morning, I figured I made you breakfast before leaving.” He explained.

“Ohh…” She muttered but the shock still didn’t leave her face.

“Do you want me to leave?” He asked as he attempted to step away but she pulled him back immediately.

“No.. no.. it’s fine.. you can stay.” She said in one breath. Hillary chuckled softly before giving her a soft nod.

“Are you alright? You seemed pretty shaken yesterday.”

“Yeah.. I am. I had a goodnight sleep so I’m fine now.” Sandy answered.

“Is it really because of the goodnight sleep or because I was there with you all night??” He teased.

“Yes..” She muttered without thinking. Her eyes widened when she realised what she had just said but it was already too late, Hillary heard it all.

“I mean no..” She changed her words but Hillary only gave her a knowing smile.

“It’s fine, I’ve gotten the answer I wanted.” He said as he turned back to the stove. He turned it on and continued with what he was doing.

Sandy opened her mouth and wanted to argue more but her eyes trailed to his manly back. With every move he made, his muscles flexed. It was a very mouth watering sight to behold that she couldn’t bear to take her eyes off him.

“It’s hard to concentrate with the way you’re eye fucking me.” Hillary said bring her out of her reverie.

“What??” Hillary turned off the stove for the second time before turning to her.

“Do you want me that much??” He asked as he took slow steps towards her. Sandy stood rooted at her spot as her legs felt too heavy to move.

“I.. wh.. what are you saying??” She stuttered out as she tried to hide her crimson red face. Hillary gripped her chin softly and lifted her eyes to face his. That way, they were both lost on each other’s eyes.

“I need a straight answer Sandy. Do you want me??” He asked again, more rigid than the first.

“Yes, I do.” Sandy answered without shying away. Her answer made Hillary smile happily. Without warning, he pulled her closer and slammed his warm lips on hers.

~Later that day~

After Adrian had dropped Ariel off at the hospital, he drove to the hospital Oliver had been admitted to. Luckily, by the time he got there, Oliver was already awake.

He had bandages wrapped all over his face and the parts that weren’t bandaged were swollen. Adrian really beat him to a pulp. It’s a miracle he was awake already.

“How are you feeling??” Adrian asked the moment he entered into the ward. Oliver gave him a small look before he scoffed and looked away.

“Okay then, since you don’t like me being nice, I’ll go straight to the point. Why did you break up with Melanie?” He asked.

“Really?? Is that the main thing that made you come here??” Oliver asked back.

“Well, I couldn’t wrap my head around the way you’ve been acting lately. You love Melanie, it’s really weird to know that you cheated on her and still broke up with her.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“What I do with my life is none of your business.”

“True.. amd also, my life is none of your business too. Why did you attack Ariel??” Addain asked, suddenly becoming really serious.

“I thought you would never ask.” Oliver said as a very weird smile appeared on his lips.

“I did it because I wanted to know what it felt like to be you.”

“What??” Adrian asked in confusion.

“She’s your woman and I wanted to know what it would feel like to have her all to myself. I would ahve had her right there if you didn’t appe…” He wasn’t able to complete his sentence when Adrian landed a hard blow on his jaw making his head whip to the other side.

“You fucking bastard!!” Adrian cussed out angrily but that only made Oliver laugh loudly like a maniac, ignoring the throbbing pain on his jaw.

Out of pure rage, he was about to hit him again when someone held him. It was his uncle, a. k. a Oliver’s father.

“What are you doing Adrian??” His aunt asked as she ran towards Oliver. Adrian pulled away from Oliver’s father with all of the force in him.

“We are not done talking Oliver.” Was all he said before he walked out angrily.

“What just happened??” Oliver’s mother asked but he didn’t reply her. The smile he had on his face earlier disappeared the moment his mother walked in.

“What are you doing here??” He asked coldly.

“Adrian told us that you were in an accident so we rushed here. What happened to your face son??” His father asked and attempted to touch his face but he moved away.

“Did he call them here to mock me??” He asked himself as his anger grew each passing second.

“I want to be alone.” He muttered.

“But…” One look from him was enough to cut his mother off. She patted her husband and the both of them left together.

“Fuck!!!” Oliver screamed angrily as he gripped his hair in frustration.

Why the hell did he have to show up at that moment. He had Ariel, he had her in his hands already but Adrian had to come in and ruin everything like he always does.

His whole existence was a nuisance to him and he would do everything possible to get rid of him.

“This is just the beginning Adrian. As long as I’m living this miserably, I’ll make sure you’ll experience it too. You can’t be the only one that would be happy. I’ll take everything that belongs to you one by one till you have nothing left to own.”
