The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Arya pushed open the large double doors and stepped into her restaurant, she smiled at the good amount of people dining at her restaurant..

Ever since Martin and Kyle visited this place, things have been running pretty smooth and to her bewilderment a few well known family in the country visits here frequently…

“Ma’am you’re here.. I was wondering if Chloe was with you”

Arya took an empty spot beside the large glass window and looked up to her employee..

“Chloe? oh goodness, didn’t she come today?”

Sam shook his head slowly “I never heard from her after she left two days ago”

Arya’s brows creased “She wasn’t around yesterday?”

Sam nodded and placed a brown colored file on the table..

“This came for you earlier today”

Arya picked the file up and dismissed Sam, she was just about to open it when she spotted Martin staggering in..

Martin looked around the moment he stepped in, he knew Arya must be around here somewhere since he spotted her coming in a while ago..

“Martin” she called out with a wave..

Martin’s gaze fell on her, he smiled and slowly walked to her table and took his seat..

“Hi”

“Are you okay?”

Martin forced a smile and nodded his head, he adjusted on his seat and winced in pain..

“yeah I’m good”

Arya licked her lips not knowing where to start from when she heard him speak..

“Don’t feel bad about what you witnessed today, I’m already used to Kyle’s bullying, anyway I had no idea I’d meet you here… I’m actually here for a business meeting”

“Oh.. well thanks for picking this place.. and I can’t help but feel so sorry for you.. I know what Kyle’s temper is like.. but I know he doesn’t attack unless he…

Martin chuckled, just a few weeks with Kyle and she already had a little trust for him..

“You trust your husband a lot don’t you?”

Arya swallowed, she pressed her thighs gently, was that really the case? does she trust Kyle?

“Martin I know you’re the victim here, I don’t really know what actually happened between you both but I..

Martin raised a finger to her lips “You don’t know anything about our rivalry.. maybe Kyle didn’t trust you enough to tell you about it”

“I don’t think that’s the case Martin.. I never asked him about it”

Martin smirked inwardly, he just needed to touch one spot and she will do the rest for him..

“Too bad.. well I guess that’s because you aren’t Charlotte”

The small smile on Arya’s face fell, she had always wanted to know more about this Charlotte everyone keeps talking about but at the same time scared to tell her..

“You know her?”

Martin nodded “well enough.. but sadly no one knows where she disappeared to after she gave birth to Ray”

“Can you tell me more about her?” Arya inquired with a pleading gaze..

Martin smiled “Of course! why not?”

.

.

Arya stepped into the room, she spotted Kyle seated on the sofa with his eyes closed..

His laptop was still opened on the table before him, while his phone vibrated continuously..

She assumed he was asleep and walked to the closet..

“In the future do well enough to stay away from Martin..”

Arya was a bit startled, she turned swiftly to see him typing on his laptop..

“Why? I don’t see anything bad about him”

Kyle paused for a bit and raised his head “I’m not asking you.. it’s an order”

Arya laughed dryly “Really? an order? after what you did to him? you know today was supposed to be a memorable day for Ray.. instead you ruined it”

Kyle cracked his knuckles as his gaze remained fixated on her..

“You don’t understand anything…

“I know everything Mr Anderson, what you pulled out there today.. was very wrong! and you must admit your mistake.. Ray’s happy moments was cut short because you chose to have a fight in the amusement park”

Kyle rose up from his sitting position and walked calmly towards her..

“Do you have any idea what happened over there?!”

Arya crossed her arm “Of course I do!.. this is about Charlotte isn’t it?!”

Kyle’s face darkened, he suddenly punched the door of the closet..

Arya’s eyes widened when the shards of glass dropped around her..

“Don’t say her name!”

He grabbed her chin “You are only Ray’s contracted mother! don’t try to act like a real wife!”

Arya pulled his hand off her chin “You’re such a jerk!” She yelled at his face and made her way out of the room in anger..

Ray opened his eyes when he heard his door open, he sat up when he saw Arya and she was also in tears..

“Arya”

Arya walked towards his bed and engulf him in a tight embrace sobbing gently..

“Arya are you alright? why are you crying? don’t make me sad”

Arya sniffed back and pulled away, she touched his head and smiled at him..

“Why are you still up? come on go to sleep”

“You don’t want to tell me what’s wrong Arya.. did daddy scold you again? tell me and I’ll go teach him a big lesson”

Arya chuckled and helped him lay back down, she took the space beside him and took the bed time storybook..

“How about a bedtime story Ray.. hmm a trip to dreamy land.. such a catchy title”

“It’s my favorite story”

Arya flipped the book open and started reading it out for Ray.. few minutes after Ray yawned and snuggled closer to Arya..

Arya’s phone beeped, she peeped at Ray’s sleeping face and carefully detached him from her to avoid waking him up..

She placed the story book on the nightstand table and tiptoed out of his room..

Arya stood at the terrace with her phone to her ear..

“Hello.. can you hear me?”

An eery laughter resonated at the other end of the phone.. she didn’t need anyone to tell her who the psycho was..

“Vivian!”

Vivian chuckled at the other end “You guessed right sis!”

Arya looked around her all she could see were Kyle’s guards moving about..

If her intuition was right, Vivian was definitely around, she knew how crazy her step sister was..

“What do you want?”

Vivian stared down at her polished nails and chuckled “You really forgot your family all because you got married to a rich man, that’s just selfish of you”

Arya gritted her teeth in annoyance “Will you get straight to the point! it’s late already!”

“Oh my bad! I just wanted to inform you that your precious oldie wants to speak with you”

Arya’s face relaxed a bit.. her dad? after so many years she’ll get to speak to him again..

Arya heard a thud from the background and a manly groan was heard.. she placed her hand over mouth to muffle her cries and screams..

“Dad!”

A sound of a whip was heard and the groan came again this time even louder than before..

“A.. ar.. Arya!”

“Dad! oh goodness it’s you!”

Before he could speak anymore words Vivian’s voice came through..

“Dear Arya.. I really have no other choice but to do that to him.. your husband is the reason for all these, he almost killed I and Cole..”

“Vivian let our dad go this minute!” Arya barked out..

“Ah! our dad? no he’s not! he’s only your dad since he chose to will every cent he owns to your name..”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Arya paced around anxiously, she had no idea what the purpose of Vivian and her mother was in their family..

“What do you want?”

“Nothing much! just fifty million dollars and I’ll spare his life for a week or two”

Arya’s lips parted in shock “What? have you lost your mind?!”

“Of course Arya! that shouldn’t be too much for you right? come on your husband is the wealthiest in the country.. I’ll be expecting it on Monday”

Arya switched the phone to her other ear to make sure she was hearing quite right?

“Monday?! in two days time? where on earth did you expect me to find that amount?!”

“It’s all up to you Arya and lastly.. Mr Kyle shouldn’t get a whiff about it unless you want to see your dad’s corpse in your doorstep..” Vivian murmured and disconnected the call..

“Ma’am something happened in young master’s bedroom come and take a look!”
