The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Arya took her seat and stared at the man who just asked a question, she pulled her gaze away from him and it rested on Martin who looked uninterested about this whole thing..

“I’m an Anderson after all why can’t I be here?” Arya replied with an evil grin, this was their first meeting and he already showed her how bad he stinked.

Rita squeezed her husband’s arm to stop him from talking..

“Forget it honey, this won’t end well for us” She whispered to him and after that he remained quiet.

Elizabeth turned to Arya with a wide grin on her lips..

“You look amazing dear, Kyle’s taste isn’t bad after all”

Arya blushed crimson red on hearing the compliment, it still felt surreal to her, few hours ago she was feeling bad for Ray who would have to tolerate Vanessa’s behavior all throughout tonight..

Speaking of the cutie, where was he? she leaned next to Elizabeth because he was last seen next to her..

“Where is Ray?”

“He left to play with his friends.. oh look there he comes!” Elizabeth exclaimed pointing to Ray’s direction..

Arya followed Elizabeth’s finger and was a bit surprised to see him coming towards her with few of his friends.

“Oh my!”

Ray stood next to her and held her arm “See? I told you all that I have a mummy but you didn’t believe me”

Arya stared at the four boys around Ray’s age and smiled, she waved her hand to them..

“But you never invited us to your parents wedding, you once told us that you don’t have a mummy.. so what happened?” One of the kids commented.

“My mummy told me that your mummy is just a maid brought in to take care of you”

Arya’s brows furrowed, some parents and their gossips..

Ray’s eyes teared up, he bolted out of Arya’s side and disappeared into the broad hall leaving Arya startled..

Mia touched Arya’s shoulder lightly “Don’t worry about him.. he’ll come around, look he’s with Kyle”

Arya dismissed the kids but something within her wasn’t settled yet..

“He looked pretty upset”

Few minutes later, Kyle was invited on the podium to give a speech immediately he stepped on stage there was a round of applause..

Arya shifted her gaze to Kyle who was looking dazzling in his black tuxedo with a black bow tie around his collar ..

How come she didn’t notice his looks before? she chuckled at her thought, but if he was on the stage where was Ray?.

He started his speech and expressed his profound gratitude to the guests for attending tonight..

There was another round of applause as he stepped down from the podium and a slow tune started playing in the background..

Arya saw some couples leaving their seat and walking towards the dance floor..

Elizabeth smiled and accepted her husband’s hands with glee in her eyes..

Arya and Mia chuckled at the two who slowly walked to the dance floor..

Kyle who was heading to the table reserved for the Anderson’s raised a brow when Vanessa suddenly appeared before him..

“Kyle I believe you owe me a favor”

Kyle sighed exasperatedly as he took a glance towards the table once more..

“What do you want? make it quick” He murmured in a bored tone.

A sly grin pulled up on Vanessa’s face, her eyes made a quick contact with Arya’s before it was diverted back to Kyle..

“I guess a dance together”

Before Kyle could react, she placed both of his hands around her waist and placed hers on his shoulder..

Mia frowned at the sight and she could tell that Arya wasn’t comfortable either..

“I hate that b*tch! she’s always looking for an excuse to get so close to Kyle” Mia muttered in irritation..

She had never liked Vanessa for once because she felt that Vanessa had an hidden agenda in her family.

Arya pulled her gaze away from them she grabbed a glass of wine from the table and gulped it down in one go..

Rita raised a brow, she returned her gaze to her husband who was lost in his thoughts..

“I was wondering when you’re gonna ask me for a dance, look at how happy Elizabeth is dancing with her husband.. I don’t want to feel inferior”

Dennis sighed and pulled her along with him leaving Arya, Mia and Martin to the table..

Vanessa leaned in closer to Kyle, she enjoyed the look on Arya’s face..

“So Kyle.. you got the dress for Arya” Vanessa murmured as she twirled around..

Kyle bent her backwards and nodded “Who else should I have gotten it for?”

Kyle questioned and pulled her back up, he hoped this dance would end soon..

Vanessa’s smile vanished when she heard Kyle’s next words.

“So you’ve been smitten by her, that was so quick”

Kyle spun Vanessa around once more, his gaze trailed off to Arya who was having a conversation with his sister and at the same time gulping down her wine in one go..

Their eyes made contacts and he quickly pulled his gaze off and looked down at her Vanessa..

“If I had gotten you the dress, does that mean I’m in love with you?”

“I can’t tell, you brought her out to the public don’t you think it will cause a scandal and also raise questions from the guests?”

Ray returned back to Arya, he looked around the hall in search of his dad until he spotted him dancing with Vanessa, anger flashed through his eyes by the sight..

Martin stood up from his seat and stood in front of Arya with his hands stretched towards her..

She stared at the hand he offered and pulled her gaze away from him..

“I believe we have a lot to speak about and the truth you’ve been dying to know”

Arya returned her gaze back to him, she accepted his hand and he pulled her to the dance floor with him..

Ray’s face went sour again, today was supposed to be a happy day for him and his parents to get closer but they’ve been separated..

Mia hugged him closer to herself “Don’t worry angry boy I’ve got a brilliant plan”

***

Bryan stopped midway when he spotted Chloe deeply engrossed in a conversation with a guy, it’s only been ten minutes he left to get some air but she was already entangled with another man..

He walked towards them and cleared his throat to gain their attention..

“if you don’t mind me interrupting.. I’d like to have a dance with her”

Chloe glanced up at him and shook her head slowly “I’m too tired to dance”

Bryan heaved in a deep sigh and pulled her up “Come with me”

“I already asked her to a dance and she agreed” the guy commented holding her other hand in protest.

Chloe’s eyes widened as she stared back and forth at the two who were trying to rip her into two..

“Jordan.. please let go.. I owe you the next dance” Chloe murmured only to be taken away by Bryan.

“No you don’t!”

***

Kyle’s grip around Vanessa’s waist tightened like he was going to rip her into two halves..

His gaze rested on Martin who was dancing so close to Arya..

“Kyle.. you’re hurting me” Vanessa voiced out and to her surprise Kyle left her side and walked away..

Her face reddened in embarrassment, how could he leave when the dance wasn’t over yet?

Martin spun Arya around and her blue dress made a circular wave like movement around her, Martin pulled her closer once more and settled both hands on her slender waist.

“yes, I’m Charlotte’s ex boyfriend but you got the wrong perspective about me Arya”

Arya raised her head to him with a little smile “Yeah I knew about that.. but I believe there’s a twist in this story and that’s exactly what I want to know”

Martin leaned forward to Arya and whispered into her ears.

“I’ll tell you everything you need to know and at the right time.. for now it’s dangerous for you to know some certain things”

In the next instance Arya was snatched away from Martin..

A soft gasp escaped her lips as she raised her head to meet a pair of angry eyes..

Kyle’s hand rested firmly on her waist as they glided to a particular rhythm..

“You’re my wife and my date but you’re dancing around with another man..”

Arya’s eyes widened when she crashed into his solid and firm chest..

“I see you’re upset about it.. but I never snatched you away from Vanessa, are you that possessive over me?” Arya asked with a smirk plastered on her lipsContent © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
