One Night With The Billionaire

That night, Jace didn’t come home. He was broken and he sobbed. He went to a club and locked himself in. How can Arianna do this to him?

First it was Clara and now, it’s Arianna. He hadn’t at any time loved his women less than he should have. Why is he suffering this kind of fate from women?

It’s not like he cannot be with numerous women at a time. He loves to be decent. He cannot have two women at a time, it’s cheating and he doesn’t like being filthy.

But what does he get in return? Backstabbing and betrayals. He trusted Arianna to the depth of his soul. It turns out that she’s no different from his dead fiance.

Women are scum. Not men. He had been unfortunate to meet two women that are scum. Now, he would learn to treat women the way they should be treated.

It took him years to recover from Clara’s death and fall in love with Arianna. But now, he wouldn’t do that anymore. He would deal with Arianna so much that she wouldn’t forget his name in a hurry.

He was drinking bottle after bottle of alcohol. He wants to forget about it, but he doesn’t know how except he gets drunk. His son was having his fifth birthday and he couldn’t be by his side because of his silly mother.

The party ended and Richard arrived home. He had tried to persuade his Mom not to say a word of it to his dad but she wouldn’t.

He was going to inform them that he had bought a house and would be moving in the next day especially now that he and Genesis had made up with each other.

But his father was furious with him. Both of his parents didn’t spare him at all. His father would tongue lash him from this side and his mother would bash him from the other side.

“If Arianna is stupid, are you supposed to be stupid as well? I won’t interfere with whatever decision Jace Hudson takes against you and your sister…”Senator Adrian Delmark thundered.

“That child that you connived with its mother to murder would have been your niece or nephew. But it’s unfortunate that the child should have a mother and uncle like you and Arianna” Jane Delmark lashed.

“I raised you to be a medical doctor but didn’t expect that you will one day use your medical knowledge to kill my grandchild” Adrian Delmark bellowed.

“There are only two things he’s good at doing, sleeping around with women shamelessly and making their heads collide together and secondly killing innocent babies” Jane Delmark bashed.

“Why are you both making me feel as if I have committed an abominable sin? I am a medical doctor and my sister needs my help. Why can’t I offer her any help?” Richard defended.

“Shame on you Richard. You call that a help? Terminating the life of an innocent child and you called it help?” Jane Delmark snapped at him.

“Arianna is an adult. She has the right to decide what she wants and doesn’t want. If anyone has done something wrong here, I think it is Arianna, not me” Richard defended himself.

“What medical advice did you give her as an adult who wants to terminate her pregnancy? Did she fill out a consent form and what are her reasons, Richard?” Adrian Delmark rebuffed.

Richard got tired of his parents scolding and he went to his bedroom. Jace is mad, Arianna is broken, Mom and dad are scolding him. He really doesn’t know who he would talk to.

Arianna waited all night and Jace didn’t return home. She went to the sitting room and remained there until dawn. When she woke up the next morning, her entire body was sore.

She went upstairs, got dressed and ready to go to work. Eli was being taken care of by his nanny and he’s ready to go to school.

Arianna decided to accompany Eli to school and then go to the office. She needs to see and apologise to Jace. She’d hurt him indeed.

He didn’t come home for the night, and it’s very unlike him. Except he’d travel out of town, he doesn’t stay away from home. But now, he didn’t come home and he wouldn’t answer his phone when she called.

He said it’s over. She can’t afford to lose him. She’d grown to love him too deep that leaving him would make her heart bleed in pain.

When she arrived downstairs, Eli’s nanny and his chauffeur were going to drive him to school when Arianna told them not to bother, she would drop him off at school.

“I’m sorry ma’am, CEO Jace instructed that you shouldn’t be allowed to be with the young master” the bodyguard politely declined.

Arianna was dazed. Jace meant it when he broke up with her? Can’t she be with Eli anymore?

She got into her car and drove to the company. Meanwhile, Chase was with his brother. Jace’s eyes were red and he wasn’t sitting behind his swivel chair but on the sofa.

His eyes were red and he wasn’t looking good. He was not dressed in a suit but a plain shirt on pants and he didn’t tuck in.

“What happened to you Jace? The last time I saw you like this was after Clara’s death. What happened between you and your fiance?” Chase asked, worried and pulling a chair to sit in front of Jace.

“Death has always put me in this condition. Either during Clara’s death or my child’s death. Arianna is no longer my fiance. I already broke up with her. We are separate now” Jace declared.

Chase pinched the bridge between his eyes. Things are more complex than he thought. Jace loves Arianna. What might have happened between them that breaking up would be the best resolution method?

“What exactly happened? You and Arianna should be getting married soon. Whatever happens between you both, it can be resolved amicably without going the extreme” Chase coaxed.

“Did you even hear what I said a while ago? Arianna killed my child. She murdered my unborn baby and kept me in the dark about his existence.

She’s hurt me with that action and I cannot take it. She cannot kill my unborn child and still remain by my side. I am setting her free to pursue her dreams” Jace blurted.

Chase’s temple went blank.
