Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

After that short call Bianca had with Luacs, most of the sense of relief and happiness she had been feeling had already disappeared and replaced with sadness. Luacs had already ruined her mood.

Her father noticed how quiet she was and wondered what happened. He even asked her but she only replied with ‘nothing’. He knew something was wrong but didn’t know what it was.

He suspected that it was Lucas but was quick to remove that thought. According to Bianca, she had cut off all contact with him on their way to Hawaii so there’s no way he would be able to call her unless… unless he used another phone number.

He became enraged when the thoughts of Lucas reaching out to his daughter crossed his mind. The only thing he could do for her now was to change her phone so Luacs wouldn’t be able to reach her anymore.

“Stop picking on your food and eat something.” He voiced out when he got tired of watching Bianca playing with her food.

“But I already told you that I don’t have any appetite.” She answered.

“Just force yourself. You look really malnourished. At least have some fruits.” He cajoled.

“Fine.” She picked up a piece of banana that was resting on the table and she took a bite.

“Happy now??”

“Eat more.” He ordered and she obeyed.

“I hope I’ve eaten to your fill.” She muttered in sarcasm as she took a bite of her fifth piece.

“Did you talk to Lucas today??” Bianca shifted her gaze to him in surprise when he asked that.

“Why do you ask that?” She asked back.

“There’s only two people in this world that talking to them would make you moody. I’m really sure it isn’t Ariel so it has to he Lucas. Has he been contacting you??” He asked again.

“Why would he do that?” She asked. She didn’t want to lie to her father so the only thing she could do to get out of that situation at the moment was play dumb. She didn’t want him to be worried because of her.

“Don’t play with me Bianca, I know he…”

“Dad, I’m tired.” She yawned tiredly, cutting him off.

“Can we not talk about this? I want to take a nap.” She muttered as she stood up.

“You know you can talk to me if there’s something or someone bothering you. I’m always here to give you a listening ear.”

“I know dad but don’t you worry because I’m fine. Can I go into my room now?” He stared at her for a while before he sighed in defeat.

“Fine, you can leave.” She gave him a small smile before heading into her room.

No matter how she tried to hide it, Bianca’s father knew that she talked to Lucas and that really infuriated him. After all the pain he made her go through, he still had the guts to try to reach out to her again.

He really needs to teach Lucas a big lesson since he doesn’t want to leave Bianca alone. First things first, he had to finish with the plans he had for Bianca in Hawaii.

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

Bianca was lost in her thoughts as she faced the sky. She was seated in the balcony of her room and watching the stars. The calmness of the night made it easier for her to think well.

She reminisced on all that had happened earlier. She had never expected to receive a call talkless of texts from Lucas. She thought she was already over him but she wavered when she heard his voice.

That was when she realized that it would be really hard for her to let go of her feelings for him no matter how much she tries. She wanted to stop loving him so the pain in hee heart would disappear but it wasn’t as easy as she had thought it would be.

She had thought the feelings she had for him had already disappeared since she severed all contacts and ties with him but today, she realised she was very far from falling out of love with him.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

She needed to do something or it wouldn’t be long before she runs back to him and make more mistakes that she would definitely regret. She was still deep in her thoughts when she heard her phone ring.

She was about to end the call and return back to her thoughts when she saw the name used to save the number.

“Hot Landon.” It read. She couldn’t help but laugh out. He really saved his name as hot Landon in her phone. He’s crazy.

“Hello.” She said the after she clicked on the answer button.

“Gorgeous lady.” Her heart felt warm when she heard what he called her. He’s really good with his words.

“For a moment there, I thought you wouldn’t pick the call.”

“I had almost declined the call.”

“I doubt that. From what I can tell, you have been waiting for me to call you.”

“Oh really, are you a psychic now??”

“I can be..”

“…. only for you Gorgeous.” They both chorused the last part and burst out laughing when they realized what had just happened.

“It seems your pick up lines are getting too obvious. I can tell what you want to say before you even say it.” Bainca said as she tried to steady her laughter.

“And I can always switch it up. By the way, do you like the name I saved my number as?” He asked.

“Hot Landon?? It’s too cheesy to me.” Bianca said.

“And very unforgettable. You would easily tell it’s me whenever you see the name flashing on your screen.” He added.

“Probably because you added your name to it.”

“Very smart right?” He asked.

“Whatever. Why did you call??”

“Gosh.. why are you so impatient??” He asked.

“I’ll end the call if you aren’t ready to talk.”

“Fine. I wanted to know if you’ll be busy tomorrow.”

“I’m free. Why?”

“Well, I was hoping you’d love to go out with me. There’s a place I would like to show you.” He said.

“What makes you think I would say yes?”

“You can’t really blame me for being hopeful.” He answered.

Bianca thought about it for a while. Going out with him might actually help get her mind off of Lucas. She really needed some sort of distraction besides, she needed to talk to someone except her father. Even though he was a stranger.

Nothing could go wrong as the place would surely be crowded. And he really didn’t seem like the type of guy that would lure a girl out just to kidnap her.

“Fine, I’ll go with you.” She said after enough thinking.

~THE NEXT DAY~

“An outing?” I asked in surprise.

“Yeah?”

“But why? I thought we would be spending the day at home.”

“Well, you obviously have some sort of problem with me and staying home with you won’t fix it since you don’t want to tell me what’s bothering. So I figured we should go out and have a change of scenery. Hopefully, you’ll stop being angry with me by the time we are back.” He explained.

“Like I said before, I’m not angry with you.”

“Yeah.. sure. If you aren’t, then say yes to the outing. I promise that you will love it.” He said. I thought about it for a while before giving him a positive answer.

I needed something to distract me from the thoughts I was having and an outing didn’t sound like a bad idea.

“Go get ready, we’ll be leaving in twenty minutes.” He muttered as he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

“So soon? I thought it would be later in the day.”

“It isn’t so go in and prepare.” He said as he pulled me into the room.

“You have twenty minutes.” Was all he said before he left me standing alone in the room.

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

After driving for about thirty minutes, the car finally stopped. It looked like a resort as it was filled with people and had a lot of beautiful sceneries.

This place would be really good to have a cleared mind, or so I thought. The smile on my face vanished when I saw the person behind my restless mind heading towards us.

“Adrian.” She called when she got closer and she embraced him affectionately.
