One Night With The Billionaire

At the nick of time



Arianna was tapping her chest gently to calm herself. She couldn’t bring herself to stop laughing. This is too much for her to bottle up.

Ethan was confused. He really doesn’t know what has come over Arianna. To keep the wine of liveliness going, he joined Arianna and started laughing too.

Huh! Arianna suddenly paused and saw Ethan laughing, it’s a fake laugh, she glared at him and looked completely lost, cleaning the cloudiness of tears in her eyes.

Then Ethan stopped laughing. He glared at Arianna and the latter said “when did you venture into comedy? I didn’t know you’ve found yourself a new career.

But anyways, it’s understandable. We haven’t been in touch for years. I’m impressed with your jokes and this singular joke has made me assess your ability on the scale of ‘A’s. You will definitely excel in this new career…” Arianna mocked.

Ethan swallowed hard. What is Arianna saying? His words were actually what amused her this much? She thinks he is joking? Can a man be joking when his dick is on fire?

“I am not joking Arianna!” Ethan blurted. He stared at her puzzled gaze and continued “I am not a comedian either. I have only told you what I feel and want at this moment.

I want you back Arianna. I love you more now than I’ve ever done. And believe me when I say my heart is beating for you…”Ethan was suddenly interrupted.

“That heart beat will eventually be your ruin, you swine! Did you request to see me just to talk nonsense? Are you insane?” Arianna snorted.

This son of a bitch thinks she is stupid and will readily come running into his arms because he said he’d divorced Daisy?

“You are still single Arianna. For the fact that you have not been able to get yourself a boyfriend implies that you’ve been waiting for me to return someday. Just skip the pretence and open up to it” Ethan stuttered.

What kind of a shameless man is Ethan Rumero? Is he normal? Hadn’t he lost his mind?

“Have you always been this stupid or I am the one that has always been blind to this smelly attitude of yours? Are you crazy or have you lost your mind?

You got divorced with Daisy and decided to bring your linking ass to me? Did you think it through before oozing nonsense out of your mouth?

You were my fiance and betrayed me by sleeping with my best friend. I caught you and you do not feel remorseful about it. You assassinated my character and for a few years, I could hardly put the shock of it behind me.

And now, you come running after me simply because things went sour between you and Daisy? Who the hell do you think you are?

I can never feast on someone else’s leftovers. You disgust me, Ethan Rumero. How could I have been so blind back then not to recognise you as a man of many colours, so deceptive and manipulative” Arianna snorted and stood up to go.

Ethan stood up in haste and gripped Arianna by her upper arm. He glared at her in fury. How dare he use such foul words on him?

Does she think he cannot make her life a living hell in that entire city? Who is she to refuse him? If it was that easy, why hadn’t she gotten herself a man to marry or even befriend?

Arianna glared at him, her eyes casting daggers at him. Her arm needs to be disinfected as soon as possible. This swine laid his smelly fingers on it.

If he thinks he can threaten her, Jace would teach him a lesson he would never forget in a hurry. Stinking linking ass bastard!

“Don’t you dare refuse me. I control the game, I call the shot. If I say come back and be my girlfriend, you should be grateful for my generosity and consideration…” Ethan declared.

“Shut the fuck and take your filthy hands off me!” Arianna thundered. The two ex lovers glare at each other and Ethan suddenly wears a grin “what if I say I won’t, what will you do?”

“I will have no option than to cut the hand off” Jace declared, standing a few distance away from them, his hands in his pants pocket and his expression cold.

Ethan turned abruptly to glance at the direction the voice came and saw CEO Jace Hudson staring at him coldly. Two of his bodyguards were standing behind him in black suit and dark shade.

They looked mysterious but more than them, Jace Hudson appeared scary with those cold expressionless face of his. He didn’t say anything else, but Ethan suddenly let Arianna go.

Arianna didn’t turn to glance in the direction of the voice. She’s too familiar with it to worry about whose voice it is. So Jace came, he arrived at the nick of time.

“This will be the last time you lay those fingers on my woman. The next time you try to harass her, I will castrate you” Jace threatened.

Ethan didn’t bother raising his head. He feels the temperature in the restaurant had suddenly risen beyond what he could be comfortable with.

He swallowed hard. His temple was now covered with beads of sweat. How can Jace Hudson address Arianna as his woman? Wasn’t he rumoured to be impotent?

How can Arianna get herself stuck with such a man? How can she be with a man that cannot make her comfortable in bed? She was a virgin back then, which means she’s still one and might have to remain so forever if she didn’t stay away from Jace Hudson.

Arianna chuckled aloud and said “Just a sentence from my fiance, you’ve already coiled back into your shell like a snail. I’d rather give my neck to the slaughter than imagine my life with a swine like you” she snared and hissed before walking around the table to Jace.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

She intertwined her elbow with Jace’s and placed her head on his bicep. Ethan glanced at the lovers briefly and turned away. So CEO Jace is the man behind the rebranded Arianna?

His eyes went reddened and he gently took a seat. The uneasiness he was experiencing at the moment was such that he needed to calm himself down.

His confused mind was in turmoil. He didn’t know when the lovers left nor did he know how long he was still seated until the waiter walked up to him and coughed slightly.

“What! For God’s sake she was mine first before she became yours…” Ethan bellowed and raised his head to glare at Jace as he supposed and was stunned to see the waiter standing, glaring at him patiently.

He felt embarrassed. Why did he flare up? He was deep in thought until this fellow brought him back to his senses with his noise.

The waiter appeared lost but quickly composed himself. “I have asked you twice already if you still want something else?” He asked.

This man has been seated longer than any of their customers had stayed that day. Does he want to retain that table for the rest of the day?

“Yeah…sure…yeah…I mean to say yeah.. no, I don’t need anything else…” Ethan stuttered, a totally confused man. He stood up quickly and gave his credit card to the waiter and waved to him to leave.

He massaged his temple. He has suddenly had a migraine. Oh gosh! He lost face completely before his ex-girlfriend.

That night, Chase was trying his best to be calm. It was supposed to be their wedding night but Rosalinda was acting like a cold fish…
