One Night With The Billionaire

“That’s how much of a play boy you are. I am not like you at all. Get out, I’m going to meet her, the chauffeur has arrived” Jace declared and stood up.

Chase shrugged and said he wished him a nice moment with Arianna. Jace used the elevator and got to the down floor. He slid into his car and the chauffeur drove him to the point of intersection between both of his cars.

He rolled down the glasses and nodded. The bodyguards held the door for Arianna and she stepped out. Another bodyguard held the door to Jace’s car and she got in.

As soon as the door was shut, she turned and glanced at Jace. The latter stared at her with a smile. He held his hand out to her and Arianna took it.

“How have you been, my love?” Jace asked and Arianna nodded “I’m fine, thanks” she said and looked away. Her heart was beating fast, she hoped none of those words she said earlier got to Jace’s ears.

She felt the temperature of the car was high. Oh gosh! Who said she should say such vulgar words to that woman?

She saw the large spacious car. Jace’s things are always so bogus. The hospital ward, his Mansion and now his car. The car has a demarcation and it’s suitable for lovers who want privacy.

The air was cold. She glanced at Jace again and saw him still staring at her. “I am not comfortable with your stare, Jace Hudson” Arianna complained.

“Oh sorry, Jace’s woman” Jace mimicked her. He chuckled aloud and saw Arianna’s complexion flushed with redness. “I waited longer than I expected, what happened, my love” he asked.

“I’m sorry Jace, there was a little distraction in the Mansion. But I’ve handled it ” Arianna replied flippantly.

“What distraction?” Jace asked. He expected that Arianna would talk to him, but she’s not doing so. Isn’t she going to ask him anything?

“It’s nothing, Jace. Forget it” Arianna said and looked outside the window. Oh gosh, Jace, please don’t ask me any more questions. Arianna stilled her heart.

“You look beautiful and stunning my love” Jace Hudson complimented. Arianna wasn’t interested in talking about it to him. But he definitely would ask her that night.

“Thank you” Arianna appreciated and smiled. She felt Jace’s hand was on hers. She turned slightly and looked at it. His hands were on her and she stylishly moved her hand away.

Jace didn’t say anything else but sat up properly. They soon drove into Samson and Delilah’s restaurant and hotel. Arianna sighed. What’s there about this hotel?

The name of the hotel seemed sensual. Samson and Delilah’s hotel. Everyone knows how it ended with Samson and his unguided love towards Delilah and his ruin.

“Get a private reservation for us” Jace called a certain person. He glanced at Arianna “Just a few minutes please” he said and Arianna nodded.

Five minutes later, he received a text. He turned to Arianna and said “Shall we?”. Arianna nodded and Jace alighted. Arianna also did the same as they headed to the hotel.

Jace didn’t bother to hold Arianna’s hand. If she wouldn’t let him hold her in the car, he wouldn’t try holding her out there. Rather than settle at a spot in the restaurant, Jace led her towards another direction.

He got into the elevator and beckoned to Arianna. She did and they arrived at the next floor. It was so furnished and romantic. There were flowers and beautiful decorations there.

It’s divided into sections and Jace pushes a particular door open. He got in and Arianna followed. “This is my preferred place. Clara and I have been here several times” he disclosed.

Arianna nodded. Why does she feel Jace hasn’t forgotten about his ex? He seemed to still be obsessed about her, despite what she did to him.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The table was for two. There was a sofa at the extreme corner and a washroom on the other end. There was the scent of Rose flower and there was a bouquet of flowers on the table.

Jace pulled a seat out for Arianna and then took the opposite. Arianna was avoiding his gaze and Jace knew it.

The waiter came and Arianna made her orders. Jace did the same and he left “Do you think it was a wrong decision to give me a chance in your heart?” He asked.

Arianna snapped her head up and glanced at him. He was staring at her with an expressionless face. His blue eyes held a lot of questions in them.

“May I know why you asked?” Arianna inquired. Jace sighed softly and said “You are cold towards me. I don’t want it to be as if I impose anything on you”

If it isn’t coming from her heart, it won’t be genuine. The last thing he can tolerate at the moment was being in a relationship with a woman whose feeling is not genuine towards him.

After what she said to Tayo Dante, he expected that she would be in his arms till they arrived here. He made advances to her but she declined.

“I was muddle headed. A lot is going on in my head. Sorry about that” Arianna apologised and the waiter arrived with the first course of meal.

An hour later, Arianna was filled. She smiled at Jace and said “Thank you for the lunch” the last time he shared lunch with a lover alone was two days to her supposed wedding.

“You’re welcome my love” Jace replied with a smile. Arianna went to the washroom and soon returned. “The last time I shared lunch with a lover was two days before my supposed wedding,” Arianna chimed, taking her seat.

“What happened, I know the wedding didn’t hold?” He asked. He knew it didn’t, otherwise how can he explain how she was a virgin the first time he slept with her.

“Yes, it never held. A day before my wedding, I found my fiance, Ethan Rumero drilling my bestie, the supposed chief bridesmaid. I was devastated, betrayed and wounded by love.

I couldn’t contain the shock of it and I came to the club to drink away my pain, to make the scene and the memory of it disappear, but it wouldn’t. Then…” Arianna trailed and glared at Jace.

He was listening to her with rapt attention. He seemed to be interested in what happened. His gaze fixed on Arianna.

“Then I decided to hook up with a gigolo. Maybe if I also have sex with a man, I will not remember, or I will forget about the pain. And I met the cutest, handsome CEO, Jace Hudson unknowingly” She concluded.

Jace Hudson sighed for relief. He chuckled and smiled. He took Arianna’s hand and gave it a soft squeeze. She wasn’t feeling hurt but happy with him now.

“The next morning, I knew I had crossed the Rubicon. I paid him $100 and left. I only have a vague memory of it, but knew he was good at his job, he made me feel like a woman. I sneaked away and left Z-City.

But unknown to me, he had planted his cute gene in me. The seed germinated and I went to the hospital. The young handsome man who attended to me was Richard Delmark and we bonded as friends. Should I continue my story?” Arianna asked, sipping from her glass of juice.

Jace Hudson laughed out loud. He was extremely attractive when he laughed. He shook his head, indicating that she should stop.

“Why did you leave the next morning?” Jace asked and almost immediately gave a brief explanation “After I discovered you were a virgin, I didn’t go, I waited to have a talk with you the next morning. I slept beside you but when I woke up, I couldn’t find you, rather I saw $100 folded into my hand.

The CCTV footage was deleted. I was suspicious, and the fact that I took over the Hudson’s holding a few months prior to that time and had a lot of enemies already, I was not comfortable.

I had my men search for you everywhere, but I didn’t find you. So I kept the necklace, it’s an expensive one and made from pure diamond. It seemed to be symbolic with its heart shaped pendant”
