One Night With The Billionaire

When they got back into the room, Arianna asked a favour. “Would you have your men find out who my mother ever dated or perhaps find out the Adrian Delmark my mom wrote about.

Maybe that person might know or give a clue that would help me find my father. Please do this favour for me” Arianna pleaded.

“Consider it done,” Jace declared. There is nothing to investigate my love. Jace said within himself. But to please her, he would have them find out some other Adrian Delmark in Z-City. Even if he already knows the Adrian Delmark her mom wrote about.

Ethan Rumero just sat down, listening to Daisy’s sermon:

“I know you have been having affairs with Arianna. She’s the reason why you suddenly became a stranger to me.

We were happy Ethan. Even if we have failed in our attempt to have kids. We would eventually have, I believe we would.

But before the kids would come, we can’t remain like this? You can’t turn out to be a stranger to me. I am your wife, Ethan and no matter what happens, Arianna is the third wheel here” Daisy coaxed.

“You should understand the times of life and know where you have slipped. Arianna used to be your friend and my fiance. Did you for once imagine what she went through?

Put yourself in her shoes. Can you easily forgive and let go? I went to see Arianna, that’s true. But not what you think.

I may have cheated on her in the past with you, but I am not a pervert, a senseless person who makes the same mistake twice. You should do what I did, find Arianna and apologise to her. She was hurt and betrayed by us. Make it right, Daisy” Ethan Rumero declared.

“Never! Over my dead body will I condescend so low as to apologise to Arianna. I’d rather get chained, tied to a horse and drag around the city than doing that!” Daisy snapped at Ethan.

Ethan Rumero glared at his wife, speechless.

“Honey, why don’t we have a talk with Arianna, Richard’s friend. I’m having this uneasiness, honey. Do you see traits of Susan in her?

It’s years, but I see Susan in her. Can she be the one you are so worried about? Can she be the daughter you want to meet?” Jane Delmark asked.

After seeing Arianna, this uneasiness wouldn’t stop bothering her. That necklace around her neck rings a bell, that looks and figure, incessantly reminds her of her friend, Susan.

“I feel a kind of familiarity with her. I don’t know how to explain it, but I think we need to meet her again. Can you arrange that?” Adrian Delmark asked.

“Sure. I will have a talk with her” Jane Delmark replied.

Richard was unhappy. He hadn’t been home for two days. He didn’t know what to reply to his dad when he told him he had affairs some time ago and the woman was pregnant.

How can his dad do that? How can he cheat on his Mom and not know he had a daughter. What nonsense? How can a man plant his seed in a woman and say he doesn’t know about her?

Genesis alone knows where he was. Jane Delmark had tried talking him into returning home, but he claimed he didn’t want to see his father, just yet.

While Arianna was about to climb into the bed, Genesis called. She immediately answered “you are naughty to call me at this time” Arianna said as soon as she answered her phone.

Genesis laughed out loud and said “I’m sure CEO Jace Hudson would let you talk to me briefly” She chimed. Arianna is a lovely woman to be with.

Arianna placed the call on speaker and went to pour herself water. Jace was standing with his back to her, going through the CCTV footage of the entire day’s activities in his Mansion.

“Jace is not bothered but I am. You wouldn’t know if he was cuddling me at the moment. Anyways, what’s up?” Arianna said, smiling.

“Arianna, Richard is not alright. He’s been away from home and wouldn’t even talk to his dad. He is not happy…”Genesis gisted.

Arianna asked “what happened? Is he having a cross with the Senator?” She asked. She glanced towards Jace, glancing at her expressionlessly.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“What do you mean?” Arianna asked, as she stood up quickly. She looked serious and her facial expression depicted a puzzle.

After she hung up, she placed her phone down and sighed softly. This life is not a balanced place. If one is looking for the father, another would be looking for the daughter?

Senator Adrian Delmark has a daughter with another woman and Richard was furious about it. He claimed he cheated on his Mom. He said his dad used to be his role model. But now, he’s failed him.

“Is everything alright?” Jace asked. Placing the remote control down, he walked towards her.

“Richard is having a cross with his dad. He just realised he has a sister and it infuriated him”Arianna explained.

“What a small world” Jace mumbled under his breath. He has always seen and befriended that sister of his without realising it. It’s a small world indeed.

“Pardon” Arianna demanded, staring at him and ready to read his lips. Jace mumbled words that she didn’t hear what he said.

“Oh! I mean to say, he would eventually accept her” Jace Hudson said and forced a smile.

Next morning, Arianna arrived at the office and was called by Jane Delmark. Jane appreciated her for coming to the dinner and hoped that they would henceforth remain as friends.

Arianna appreciated her and Jane said it would be an honour if Arianna could have lunch with her. Arianna thanked her and said she would prefer if it was dinner, she was going to see someone during the lunch hour.

Jane said it’s fine by her. She looked forward to having her that evening for dinner.

During lunch hour, Arianna sent a text to Jace that she was going to see Ned Jason and his wife. Jace texted her back to make sure she goes with her bodyguard.

Arianna arrived at her house, now its hers. At least she discovered it belonged to her from the property documents her mother left behind.

She went in and was glad that she met the family of three having lunch. She sat down and crossed her legs. Ned Jason and his wife Emily exchanged glances.

“Hello Ned Jason, dad” Arianna said. Using a mocking tone while she uttered the word dad.

Emily flared up and yelled “How dare you shamelessly walk through that door and sit on the sofa, after what you did? You ruined your sister’s life and left the hospital without as much as accepting to be married to who your father and I arranged for you.

You’ve got guts Arianna. Who the hell are you? How dare you try quenching the beams of love in this family? After all your father and I did for you, you cannot listen and obey us for once?

You are an unfilial daughter. We raised you like a princess and gave you the best any child would ever desire. But how did you pay us back, by defying us and putting this family to shame”

“Emily Jason, I haven’t come here to banter words with you. I’m here to see your husband. But if you provoke me an inch further, I will throw you out of my house and ensure you end up in jail” Arianna bellowed.

After the ill treatment she got from Emily and her daughter Elisa. And Ned Jason pretending not to see, she claimed they raised her like a princess. After almost scalding her and leaving her with a scar.

She left the house more than ten years ago and none of them ever came to find her other than receiving a call from her father recently to inform her that he was marrying her off to the son of that drug lord.

And almost immediately changed her mood to that of a mockery “And how did it go, why is your daughter sitting on that table, shouldn’t she be by Larry Keyamo’s side?

I heard he takes women, takes a piece of their flesh and discards them if they aren’t virgins. Could it be that Elisa is no longer one…?” Arianna was saying when Emily Jason snapped at her.

“Watch your words Arianna. My daughter is way purer than your mother. At least she is not pregnant…”she was saying when Ned Jason yelled at her.

“Let this stop now!” He ordered but rather than be quiet, that’s when Arianna began “You should be grateful, that is the only reason why your husband got a shelter over his head and eventually brought you in”

Ned Jason was lost.
