Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

She didn’t stop there. She pulled on her hair really hard and pounced on her immediately. Bianca wasn’t given any chance to fight back as Sandy was far too strong and aggressive for her. The only thing that she could do was scream and cry in pain.

Where are her ‘loyal’ minions right now when their master is in pain?? I had to hold back myself as the drama that was unfolding right now was very funny. But the students around me didn’t. They were all laughing and cheering Sandy up to continue.

I was still watching when I noticed some teachers coming towards us. I panicked and wanted to drag Sandy away from Bianca’s body but she wouldn’t stop.

“Why are you stopping me? I need to deal with this whore!!” She said and was about to continue when I signalled that the teachers were close.

She quickly stood up and dusted her clothes like nothing had happened. Bianca took that chance and stood up. She wanted to attack us but one of the teachers were quick to hold her back.

“What is going on here?? Why all the commotion??” The head teacher asked but no one answered her.

“I’m asking you guys a question but no one can answer me now??” She said angrily and was still replied with a dead silence around the room.

“I’ll tell you what happened!! This crazy bitch attacked me!!” Buanca said as she pointed at Sandy in anger.

The head teacher stared at Bianca for a while before turned to I and Sandy with disbelief all over her face.

“Is that true Sandy??” She asked as she gave Bianca a suspicious look.

I mean, why wouldn’t she. Sandy was a top and very quiet student. It was very hard to believe that she would attack someone without a valid reason to do so.

“Why are you asking her that?? Can’t you see my face. See what she did to me!!” Bianca screamed out, almost in tears since she couldn’t do anything to pay back Sandy for attacking her mercilessly.

Her face looked so funny right now. If there weren’t any teachers here, I would have bursted out in a fit of laughter.

“Is it true??” The head teacher asked again. I guess she wanted to hear Sandy’s side of the story. I turned towards Sandy and saw that she had a very remorseful look on. So, I knew that I had to step up.

“I did.. I attacked her.” I lied before Sandy could say anything.

“What??” Everyone around chorused in surprise.

“I just said I attacked her.” I repeated.

“What are you doing Ariel??” Sandy whispered.

“Just let me handle this.” I whispered back.

“She’s lying. Sandy was the one who attacked me. Ask anyone around.” Bianca said as her face grew red in anger.

The head teacher turned to stare at the crowd of students but the all bowed down their head. No one wanted to say anything. Rather, they didn’t want to go against me.

Thankfully, I didn’t spot anyone with any camera so I don’t have to explain shit later.

“Why would Sandy ever attack you? I mean, I’m the one having issues with you, not her.” I said, trying to sound convincing and the head teacher bought that.

“You both are going to have a detention today for disturbing the whole school.” The head teacher announced.

“What?? Why do I have to get detention when I was the one that got attacked??” She asked angrily.

The head teacher didn’t say anything. She instead brought out her phone from her suit pockets and showed her the screen. Bianca’s eyes widened when she saw what it was.

It made me curious.

“What did we say about uploading rumors and personal details of people on the school blog??” She asked.

I tool a sneak peak and almost gasped in shock when I saw it. I saw myself in my car, at the fron of my new home. Someone had taken my photo without my knowledge. That was how the rumors of my marriage got out.

Since the head teacher was questioning her right now, I’m pretty sure that she is the one. But the question right now is how did she find out??

“I wasn’t the one that posted it. I swear!!” Bianca refuted immediately.

“Did you really think that we wouldn’t find out that it was you??”

“But….”

“Don’t bother because I’m not going to listen to whatever you say. Your account on the school blog has been suspended for the mean time.”

“What!! You can’t do that to me!!” Bianca screamed in frustration.

“I already did. Your detention is still holding so don’t even bother to escape it.”She warned before she turned to the rest students.

“Your voices were so loud that it was disturbing everyone in this school but now, you guys are very quiet. The rest of you should head back to your class now!! ” The students around didn’t waste ant time and ran into their various class rooms.

“And the both of you, if I ever find out you are fighting again, what you’ll get next would be much worse than a detention.” She warned Bianca and I before she left with the other teachers that were around her while Bianca followed closely behind her, trying to defend herself.

The hall that was bustling had already turned quiet and almost empty. It remained just Sandy and I. I couldn’t even find Lucas. Maybe he had run away in shame before the teachers got here.

“Why did you lie Ariel?? I was the one that attacked Bianca.” Sandy questioned the moment the coast was clear.

“You attacked her mainly because of me. Why wouldn’t I cover up for you the moment things became rough??” I asked back.

“What if you were given something worse than detention??”

“What else is worse than detention?? At least things are fine now so let’s forget about that.”

“Well, if you say so. Besides, you have a lot of things to tell me.” She whispered.

“I know. But not here. Let’s go to somewhere more secluded.” I answered as I dragged her into an empty room and made sure to lock the door behind us. I can’t let anyone find out what I’m about to say.

When I was sure no one could hear us, I turned to stare at Sandy.

“I need an explanation.” She demanded, arms folded as she raised her brows at me.

I sighed deeply and explained every single thing to her without leaving any detail out. Her eyes bulged out in surprise by the time I was done with my story.

“You don’t mean it..” She said in disbelief.

“I’m very serious. I don’t even know what to do now.”

“It’s like a cook up lie. How can that stranger turn out to be your husband’s cousin of all people.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“I too am very surprised. And the worst thing was that the bastard can’t seem to mind his business. He always find ways to try to annoy me.” I muttered in anger.

“You had better try to avoid him. He could seriously lead you into huge trouble with Adrain.”

“You think I’m not trying?? I try to avoid him but he just keeps trying to irritate me at every given opportunity he has. Can you believe he called me a whore this morning all because I told Hillary the ‘I love you’ words?” I asked.

“You talked to Hillary this mornig?? What did he say? Is he coming back soon??” Sandy asked as her eyes glittered in happiness.

“Focus Sandy.” I said.

“Sorry. You can continue.” She said as she tried to contain her happiness but it was still very visible.

“It’s fine. Besides, Hillary told me that he would be back today.” I answered.

She almost screamed when I said that. Well, I was expecting it because I knew Sandy had always had a thing for Hillary since we were little. I mean, it was so hard not to notice it since she was always all over him whenever he was around.

I just hope he doesn’t find a girlfriend later because she would be very heart broken.

“Really??”

“Sure!! He even asked me to bring you with me today. He says he got something for you while he was still on his business trip.” I said to her.

Her happiness knew no bounds when she heard that.

“Well, sure. I’ll go with you.” She said in excitement.

It’s funny to see someone as quiet as Sandy all giddy because of a boy. Love can really change people.

“Lest I forget. How could you agree to the marriage hastily. Even if Lucas broke your heart, you should have at least given it a second thought before jumping right into something that even you know that you aren’t ready for.”

“I didn’t know what came over me. Besides, you said that there would be consequences if I try to escape it.” I reminded.

“I did but you told me you had a plan. It might have saved you from what you are going through right now.”

“You and I both know that isn’t true. Why would they want money when they could just add my family’s wealth and fame into theirs to build their empire??” I asked.

“You’re right. But it still seemed too soon to me.”

“I know but I had to do it since Grandma had already given me a deadline.” I reminded.

“Yeah.. I just hope that you are coping well with the marriage.”

“I’m trying. Adrian isn’t the problem but that cousin of his is a real pain in the ass.”

“Just try to avoid him. You know that any mistake you make there would be paid back ten folds to your family.” She warned.

“I know.” I said with a small sigh.

She didn’t really have to remind me about what I was really scared of. We talked for more minutes before we finally headed to our various classes.

**************************************

By the end of school today, the tables had turned. Those fools that were insulting me and terming me a whore/gold digger had stooped. Lucas and Bianca were the ones they directed their hatred to.

Though, I was very happy that I wasn’t the one they were insulting, I was still angry that my marriage with Adrain had been exposed. It had already left our school blog and was on the news by the time school closed.

Things were very hectic as I was receiving a lot of messages on my Instagram account. Most of them were words of consolation as the news of Lucas cheating on me got out too but there were some idiots that were still insulting me.

I wouldn’t blame them, I also knew that I made a very hasty decision when I signed that contract without thinking twice. My followers were increasing at every passing moment and more messages were coming in. It got really worse that I had to mute it.

When I was done with my one hour detention, I walked out of the class to see Sandy still waiting for me. I guess she can’t wait to see Hillary. One our way to my car, I hot a phone call from an unknown number.

Thinking that it was Lucas, I wanted to decline the call until a thought crossed my mind. Lucas wouldn’t have the guts to call me right now because of the drama around.

With that thought in mind, I decided to pick the call. I was greeted by a very familiar gruff voice the moment I placed the phone on my ear.

“Come here right now!!” He ordered immediately without waiting for me to say something.

He ended the call right after saying that. I stared at my phone with mixed feelings in me. How did he get my number?? Why was he ordering me to go to him?? Besides, he sounded so angry, what could be the problem??

Sandy noticed I wasn’t walking anymore and turned to face me.

“What’s wrong??” She asked worriedly.

“I don’t think I can go with you. You’ll have to meet Hillary alone.”

“Why??”

“I’ll explain later. I need to leave now.” I said as I entered my car.

I told my driver where I was heading to and he zoomed off immediately while Sandy bid me bye. I got to the mansion only to see all of the workers in a frenzy.

What’s going on??

One of them sighted me and told me that Adriam wanted to meet me in his study. His study?? But he told me never to go there. I decided to listen to her and followed her direction since I haven’t been there before.

I knocked on the door until I hear a hoarse ‘come in’ before entering inside the room. I didn’t have time to admire the huge place as I was staring at Adrian who had a very angry look on.

I was able to tell because of hus body expression.

“You called for me.” I said softly so as not to annoy him the more.

“What is the meaning of this??” He asked angrily as he turned his P. C towards me. I took a small glance and saw that it was the news about my marriage with him and the reason I got into it.

I see that the news had reached him. But, why is he angry??
