Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

*LATER THAT DAY*

~AT CRESCENT HIGH ~

Classes were already over and students could be seen leaving their classrooms and heading to the parking lot. Sandy was amongst them, only difference was that she wasn’t in a hurry.

She kept dialing Ariel’s number but as usual, it went to the voicemail. It was at the tenth ring and Ariel still hasn’t picked her call, she started to get really worried.

Normally, when Ariel misses school, she updates Sandy about the development but today was different. She hasn’t been picking up Sandy’s calls and that made Sandy really scared.

She knows that she told Ariel to take a break away from school yesterday but she wasn’t expecting her to add today to her vacation and now, she can’t even reach her.

“What if something has happened to her? What if her husband found out that she knew about his real identity and punished her for lying to him??” She asked herself in fear.

“No no no… he wouldn’t do that to her, she’s his wife.” She said to herself as she tried to keep her fears at bay.

“She was his wife when he locked her up in a room like an animal. She collapsed because of that.” Her subconscious reminded her.

Her heart thumped really hard against her chest as she imagined the worst things Adrian might be doing to Ariel right now.

“I need to go see her. I can’t just wait in fear as I think about things that might be happening to her.” Sandy said to herself as she picked up her pace towards the parking lot.

She saw her driver, waiting next to her car for her. She was about to head over to where he was when someone suddenly stood in her way. She didn’t really put much thoughts into it and tried to go round the person but he intercepted her again.

That act made her annoyed. She wasn’t in the mood for anyone that wants to get her attention at that time.

“Can you move? Can’t you see I’m not in the mood fo…” Her words got caught in her throat when she raised her head and saw Hillary standing in front of her.

“H… Hillary.. what are you doing here??” She stuttered out in shock.

“I came here to see you but it’s quite obvious that you don’t want to see me so I’ll just come some other time.” He said and was about to leave when…

“Wait.” Sandy muttered as she held his suit jacket from the back. She let go immediately he stopped walking. Hillary smiled and turned back to face her.

“Do you have my time now?” He asked.

“What are doing here?” Sandy asked instead, repeating her earlier question.

“Like I said, I came to see you.” He answered.

“Why? Why do you want to see me?” Sandy asked again.

“In case you’ve forgotten, we have a date.” He reminded.

“I thought it was scheduled for the weekend.”

“It was, but I changed my mind. I want to go on that date with you now.” Hillary said. Sandy’s heart thumped really hard when he said that.

“Get a hold of your self Sandy. Even though he says sweet things, it doesn’t mean that he likes you. He already made that clear the first time.” Sandy said to her self as she tried to hide back the blush that was threatening to creep up her face.

“Well, sorry to burst your bubble Hillary, I was in the middle of something before you intercepted me. I can’t go on that date with you today.” Sandy said as she walked past him, towards where he driver was.

“Wait..” It was Hillary’s turn to hold her back.

“Where are you hurrying to?” He asked as he turned her to face him.

“I need to go see Ariel. She hasn’t been picking her calls and I’m really worried about her.” Seeing her worried face, Hillary couldn’t hold back his smile.

“Didn’t she tell you?” He asked.

“Tell me what?” Samdy asked back.

“She traveled, to Hawaii.” Sandy stared at him for a while before she burst out laughing. Hillary folded his arms as he waited patiently for her to stop.

“You’re joking. I spoke to Ariel yesterday and she didn’t mention anything about a flight.”

“That’s because she wasn’t aware at first. It was a late minute decision.”

“What is she doing in Hawaii, all alone?”

“Who said anything about her being alone? She’s there with her husband. They are on their honeymoon.”

“What??”

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

I stretched my back when I had finally stepped out from the car. It felt really suffocating siting on a very hard seat for hours. Thankfully, our journey is finally over.

I stared at the building in front of me in awe. It was very beautiful and at the same time, very simple. It is close to the beach but surprisingly quiet. It has a lot of beautiful flowers around it. It also has a pool.

This is like my dream house. It has everything except it being extravagant. I love going the extra mile in everything I do and own.

“Are you going in or you’ll keep ogling at the building??” Adrian’s annoying voice brought me back to reality.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He was already at the door. He opened it and walked in, leaving me standing alone outside. I scoffed in anger and followed him into the house. Okay, I’ve got to really admit, the inside is more gorgeous than outside the house.

It screams of wealth and nature. I love it so much. I threw my purse wherever, not caring where it landed and threw myself on the couch. I sighed within me as I felt it’s softness against my ass.

I decided to get comfortable so I laid down to rest. I love this couch so much. It’s more soft than the seat in the plane and the car. I was lost in ecstasy when the idiot decided it was time to disturb me again.

“Instead of you laying there like a lazy fag, don’t you think it’s wise to help me arrange?” He asked as he stared down at me.

“Arrange what? The house has already been prepared for our arrival and we didn’t even bring any luggage with us.” I said.

“So, you’re saying you aren’t going to do anything??” Instead of answering him, I gave him a small smile and closed my eyes.

“Lazy brat.” I heard him scoff in anger, then his receding footsteps, indicating that he was leaving so I opened my eyes. Finally..

I wanted to take a small look at the house so I stood up from the couch. I saw a door so I walked towards it. I pushed it open and it revealed the medium sized kitchen.

I opened the cabinets and was really glad to find foodstuffs there. They were enough to last us more than the two weeks. I proceeded to opened the fridge and I gasped as I saw more foodstuffs.

I picked up an apple and took a bite from it.

“What are you doing??” Adrian’s voice startled me.

“What the hell is wrong with you? You almost gave me an heart attack.” I said as I rubbed my chest slowly.

“I thought you were taking a nap.” He said.

“Well, I changed my mind.” I answered as I took another bite from the apple.

“Glutton..” I heard him say.

“What did you just call me??” I asked like I didn’t hear him the first time.

“I called you a glutton.” He repeated without fear. This guy just love testing me. I was about to say something when the lights suddenly went off.

“What happened??” I asked in fear as I couldn’t see anything anymore. It was really dark inside.

“I think it’s just temporary, let’s wait a little.” Adrian answered.

I nodded my head even though he can’t see me. I stretched my hands and started looking for something to hold onto so I wouldn’t trip. I stepped on something by mistake and lost my balance.

I screamed out as I fell but strong hands wrapped around me to prevent me from falling. Instead, of the hard floor, I landed on a manly chest. At that moment, the lights turned on and I was faced with a pair of mesmerizing green orbs.
