The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Arya tried to recall but she gave up since nothing was coming forth..

Her mum taught her how to use the sword when she was little, but she was never gifted any toy sword by her mum or dad..

“we are missing something out here, I bet only my dad has the answers to my questions”

Martin placed his burning cigarette on the ashtray next to him as soon as he saw the figure who just walked into his living room..

His full brows furrowed as she took a seat opposite him nonchalantly, she lifted one of her legs over the other with a small smile adorned on her lips..

“What brings you here?”

Vanessa raised a brow at his direct and straightforward question.. she grinned from ear to ear and stood up to her feet..

“I’ve come to ask you for a huge favor Martin”

Martin hummed in reply, he needed to find out what type of favor she wanted because he can’t recall ever striking up a conversation with her before now or ever..

“And what makes you think I’ll grant you this favour after what you pulled off last night? don’t think you can find your way out of this mess this time”

Vanessa looked around the living room and snorted..

“Of course I know you won’t hesitate to help me once you find out what I want” Vanessa remarked and walked towards him in slow steps, just when she was close enough she leaned forward to him with a slanted grin..

“What do you want?” Martin’s anger laced tone came out in irritation..

“I want to know where Charlotte is..”

Vanessa’s eyes widened when Martin’s hands went around her neck..

He stood up pushing her backwards till her back touched the wall behind her harshly, a groan escaped her lips as his hands tightened even more..

“How am I supposed to answer that? you and everyone else know quite well that she fled from the hospital” Martin grunted to her face and retracted his hands off her neck..

He started walking away but halted his movement when he heard her next word..

“What will you do once Kyle finds out that you were in a secret relationship with his girlfriend back in those days?”

Martin turned sharply to her with a cold glare that sent shivers down her spine, she swallowed hard as she saw him walking towards her once more in large strides..

He lifted her chin up with a finger “And what do you think I’ll do to you if you blab anything to anyone? think about it very carefully.. if Kyle gets to know about what really happened all those years ago.. no one will be spared, not even you!”

Vanessa took in deep breaths as soon as he left her side, she stared at his retreating back and stomped her feet on the floor..

“What does he mean by that? I’m sure he’s the only one who knows the truth about Charlotte.. or perhaps he had a hand in her disappearance”

She stood on the same spot murmuring and mumbling to herself for a while before she decided to leave immediately.. her meeting today with Martin only proved one thing..

Martin was hiding something from everyone, his reaction earlier showed it all..

Arya and Chloe’s brows furrowed when their cab came to a halt in the middle of the road, they averted their gaze to the driver who was visibly shaking in fear..

“Is everything alright with you?”

Chloe followed his line of sight and was surprised to see four cars blocking the way, she tugged Arya’s shirt and pointed at the cars..

“Arya look over there”

Arya’s brows arched, she knew only one man in the city who could pull off such stunt and she was right, the back seat door was opened and a tall figure walked out of the car..

Arya snorted and stepped out of the car, she pulled off her black face cap and sunglasses walking towards him..

“Do you really have to behave this way Kyle? move your car out of the way!”

“I have something urgently to discuss with you.. let’s go back home”

Arya stepped back before he could hold her hand “Why? do you still feel pitiful for me thinking I’ll sleep on the streets?”

“We need to talk Arya.. get in” Kyle said more like an order..

“There’s nothing to talk about” Arya retorted and turned around to leave and to her surprise Kyle pulled out the band holding her hair tied into a ponytail..

She turned sharply to him as her hair cascaded down her shoulder, her eyes widened when he snapped the band into two before her..

“You!…

Her sentences were left hanging when Kyle swiped her off her feet into his arms..

“Put me down!” She kicked in protest to his abduction, a guard quickly ran to open the car’s door..

Kyle placed her gently in it and got in soon after the car sped past Chloe who was standing still in a daze..

***

Arya continued her fit as she was brought back into the house, she hated herself for being powerless before him..

“Let me go!”

Kyle obliged to her request and released his grip on her, he placed both hands on her shoulder and turned her to face the people in the living room..

Arya cleared her throat when she noticed that they were not alone in the living room, she shook his hands off her shoulder and sent a glare to him..

Immediately Ray sighted her he hopped down from Mia’s laps and ran into Arya’s open arms..

“My baby.. I missed you sooo much even if it was just for a few hours” Arya murmured to him accompanied by a chuckle..

However Ray wasn’t willing to release her from the embrace..

“I thought you left forever.. please don’t go I promise to be a good kid.. I won’t upset you anymore”

Ethan cleared his throat and rose up to his feet, he turned to Elizabeth and Mia who gave him a nod to go on with his brief speech..

Arya rose up with Ray who was still clutching onto her neck refusing to leave her for a second..

Kyle walked past them and took a seat opposite his mum and sister, his grandfather called for the brief meeting after claiming to know the perfect solution to this problem they were facing..

“So after much consideration on this matter.. i came to a conclusion that there’s only one way to get out of this mess”

Arya placed Ray gently to the floor and led him to a spot next to Kyle, she made sure to keep a huge gap between them..

Kyle scoffed at her attitude “I’m not interested in sitting so close to you either” He murmured and almost immediately Arya retorted back..

“Oh.. I guess that must have hurt your feelings.. you big jerk!”

Kyle sat up and faced her with a scrutinizing gaze “Stop thinking so high of yourself.. you have a bad habit of poking your nose in other people’s affairs.. don’t you ever get bored?”

Arya gasped, she pointed to herself and turned her attention to the rest who were giving them weird gazes..

“Did you all see that? he called me a nose poker.. you’re so ugly and annoying and I feel like choking you so bad!”

“Have you looked in the mirror lately? you look like a spider…

Mia’s lips was slightly parted, she stared at the two in surprise and leaned forward to her mum..

“Mum do you think this is a good idea?”

Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders “Yeah I guess so”

“Enough you both!” Ethan barked and peace returned to the living room once more..

“Daddy started it.. he’s always looking for ways to pick on Arya.. and poor Arya will be left with no choice than to talk back”

Kyle pointed towards Ray while staring at his mum “Did you see that mum? she has turned Ray against me..”

Arya was just about to retort but was interrupted by Ethan who has had enough of the two arguing back and forth..

“I see you both are still toddlers.. Kyle I didn’t expect this from you at all.. you clearly started all these” Ethan chirmed calmly..

Kyle snorted and pulled his gaze elsewhere “I guess she must have used her spells on you just like she did with Ray”

“Before I called for this meeting Kyle you were the least bothered, now that I’ve come with a permanent solution you can’t put your ego aside?”

Kyle remained quiet, he just wished to get this over with he had a lot of work to do..

“However.. I’ve come with a permanent solution.. Arya has been tagged as a nanny on many newspapers and screens which is very harmful to the Anderson’s..

“No matter what we do, since Arya is part of the family everything she goes through will affect us indirectly and vice versa.. so the only option left is for you both to get married!”

“A real wedding this time and not some contractual marriage where it favors only one person”

Arya and Kyle sprang up to their feet immediately Ethan was done talking..
