One Night With The Billionaire

Eduardo just stood transfixed. She’s the mother of the young master? She’s probably the woman the boss was searching for in Z-City for a few years.

This news came to him like a shock. But then, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He hoped a chemistry would grow between them when all of these are over.

Emily Jason placed the remote down and hissed between gritted teeth. She is not interested in the news anymore. Why wouldn’t the various channels find proper news for them rather than feeding them with such news?

“Arianna is too forward. I know she did it deliberately to find a convenient excuse to avoid her engagement to the Keyamo family eldest master” Emily stuttered.

What a smart woman. But no matter how much she pretends to escape her marriage to the rascal, she will eventually get married to him, except she dies.

“What gave her the nerves to try protecting Jace Hudson? Is she stronger than him or does she have the power and influence he has?” Elisa bellowed. She hissed and kept chewing gum.

“She’s trying to act like the brave one. She’s the saviour. I just hope she stays alive and fulfils her obligation to this family” Emily declared.

She wouldn’t mind if the bullets split her skull in pieces if the issue of the marriage to the Keyamo family is not in the picture. In fact, she would have been happy to hear that she died.

She doesn’t want her to come over and contests the properties of Ned with her daughter, Elisa. Because they all know that Arianna is the true owner of everything they owned.

“Like I care whether she lives or dies” Elisa declared. Ned wasn’t home yet but knew what happened to Arianna. He felt pity for his dear daughter.

If anything happens to her, how will he be able to forgive himself? Perhaps she deliberately did what she did because of the words he said to her when he called her earlier.

He needs to go to the hospital to see her. Just to show his concern and know what state she was in, dead or alive.

Ethan Rumero was shocked. He was disturbed when he heard what happened to her. He doesn’t know if she was dead or not. But he wished that she’s alive.

She’s a good person, Arianna has a heart of gold, rich in kindness. He knew that he Betrayed her, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have a place for her in his heart.

He still feels the same way towards her like he felt when they were still friends and lovers. He wants her to stay alive and find happiness again.

He decided to go to the hospital to find her. When he arrived, he was refused entrance to see Arianna. Jace Hudson had positioned some bodyguards whose duty was to secure the door and not let anyone get in besides himself, Chase, Genesis and doctor Richard.

Any other person must not be allowed in without his consent. Hence Ethan Rumero left, dejected. He couldn’t get to see Arianna. He would stop by the next morning when he got ready for work.

That evening, Ethan could not sleep. He rolled from one end of the mattress to the other. Daisy knew what had happened to Arianna but didn’t say a word about it.

She could guess what was making Ethan restless but choose not to say a word about it. Ethan was supposed to be Arianna’s husband but she came in between and won Ethan to herself.

“Ethan, tomorrow is the appointment with the doctor. We have been taking our Medication. And we need to go to the clinic tomorrow” Daisy siad, running her hand around Ethan’s belly.

“I won’t be able to make it tomorrow. I have a pile up of work waiting for my attention” Ethan gave a random excuse.

The least of the things that bothers him at the moment is not Daisy and the routine fertility clinic she’s attending. Arianna’s health condition is what bothers him.

“You could just take a few hours, two hours at the most and attend the clinic. You know all I am doing is for us. We can’t remain like this, we need a child in this marriage…” Daisy was persuading when Ethan snapped at her.

“Which part of I can’t make it tomorrow that you don’t understand. Why are you bothering me with your clinic things, how many men do you see jobless who go about attending clinics?

Just leave me alone, okay? You can attend the clinic but don’t bother me about it anymore, not now not ever”

Daisy was angry. She turned her back to Ethan and tried her best to be calm, not to retort back at him. As if it’s her fault that she couldn’t get pregnant.

This should be a joint endeavour between Ethan and herself. Why is he talking as if it’s entirely her fault that she kept losing her pregnancies.

That evening, when Richard arrived home, his mom was in the sitting room when he arrived. He went to her and kissed her temple.

“Richard, you looked worried and sounded so when I called earlier. Is the workload weighing you down? I would let your dad get you a better offer..” Jane Delmark was saying when Richard sank into the sofa, wearily.

“It’s nothing like that, Mom. Did you listen to the news of the pandemonium that happened in Hotel Dabras today?” He asked, staring at his mom.

“Yes I did. The CEO of your hospital was attacked by gunmen and a certain woman saved her life, taking the bullets for him. Oh poor woman, I hope she scales through and does not lose her life…” Jane said, feeling sympathy for Arianna.

“That woman that saved CEO Jace is Arianna Jason. She’s my friend who almost lost her life some time ago. Ow, this unfortunate incident happened to her again, it’s so pathetic mom” Richard explained.

“Holy virgin! Not again! How is she now? Were the doctors able to save her life?” Jane asked. Poor woman. Her life was crossing different hurdles.

“She was lucky, mom. We operated her and brought the bullets out, but she’s in a coma. Arianna had been through a lot mom” Richard answered.

“Good. I’m happy to hear the positive expectations. Her name is Arianna, right?” Jane asked and Richard nodded. He smiled, he knew his mom was going to record her name immediately in her memory.

“But there’s something mom. I feel as if I’ve known Arianna all my life. I feel obligated to protect her, to keep her from harm’s way and be responsible for her happiness.

And today it was as if I was the one dying. My senses and composure as a medical doctor was gone. I even left the theatre at a time because I couldn’t stand her dying.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

And the coincidence of it is that we have the same blood type. I donated my blood to save her life. Only when the surgery was successful was I able to find my peace again…” Richard explained.

Jane was dazed. She glared at her son and squinted. She was going to ask Richard some questions when Senator Delmark descended the stairs:
