Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

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.

I was lost admiring his eyes when I felt him shift uncomfortably underneath me. I took that as my cue and stood up immediately.

“I thought you were never going to stand up.” He muttered as he stood up.

I didn’t answer him. All that was on my mind was how I laid on top of him. My insides were all giddy as I reminisced on that scene again and again. I felt my face starting to get hot. I’m pretty sure that my face was already as red as a tomato by now.

“Are you blushing??” I heard Adrain ask, bring me out of my reverie.

“Huh??”

“Wow, the almighty Ariel is flustered. I didn’t even have to do anything.” He taunted and chuckled while I tried to hide my face. I was so embarrassed.

“Why did you catch me??” I asked angrily when I couldn’t bear the shame anymore.

“So you would have preferred to fall on the hard floor? That would have been a very funny sight to see.” He said as he continued laughing.

“Stop laughing. It isn’t funny!!”

“Make me. I’ll do whatever I want with this mouth of mine unless you want to stop it yourself.” He said with a smirk playing on his lips. My brows knitted in annoyance when I understood what he was saying.

“Fuck you pervert!!” I cussed out angrily.

“I’m a pervert only for you baby.” He muttered as his laughter returned. I stared at him, my blood boiling. I didn’t have anything to say to him so I left him alone, so he can continue with his madness.

His laughter increased even though I was already in the bedroom and that made me really angry. I wanted to do something really bad to him so he would think twice about taunting me again.

I smiled when an idea crossed my mind. Adrian, the rest of the days we’ll spend alone will be hell for you. You just wait..

“How’s she?” The man asked as he stared at the maid that he has sent to Bianca’s room.

“She has refused to open up the door. She screams at everyone whenever we try knocking and she hasn’t eaten since yesterday.” The maid answered as she shifted her gaze to the tray of covered food.

“Okay, hand it over.” Bianca’s father said and she gave him the tray.

He held it in his hands as he walked up the stairs. He emerged in the long hallway and continued walking till he got to the doorway of Bianca’s room. As expected, it was locked to he decided to knock first.

She didn’t answer him even though he called out her name. At first, he thought that she was probably in the bathroom. Then, he started hearing thumping sounds like she was moving around.

He knocked again but instead of her answering, he heard her crying softly. His heart broke as he could hear the pain in her cries. It hurt him that he couldn’t do anything to help as her father.

He knocked again and again and even tried calling out her name to get her attention but she wasn’t listening to him. He decided to rest his head on the door and listen to when she was doing in her room.

He heard shuffling sounds and the opening and closing of her drawer like she was searching for something. There was a small hole on the door so he decided to peep in on what she was doing.

His eyes widened when he saw her bringing out bottles of pills from her drawer. Fear gripped him immediately so he dropped the tray he was holding and called onto a maid.

“Bring the spare key of this room, now??” He ordered and the maid took to her heels.

In few seconds, she was back with the key. He didn’t waste any more time and used it to open the door. At that very moment, a bunch of pills were in Bianca’s hand and was about to swallow them.

He walk, rather ran towards where she was and slapped her hand away from her mouth, thereby throwing all of the pills away. Her face scrunched up in anger for the person that had just disrupted her plans.

“What the fuc… dad??” She called in shock when she saw her father staring down at her in anger and disappointment.

“What the hell is wrong with you Bianca?? Why would you go to such an extent for that idiot??” He asked angrily. Bianca’s expression turned into a very sad one.

“Dad..” She called out with tears brimming at the corner of her eyes. Normally, those tears would have an effect on him but not today.

“Oh.. so I’m your father now? Did you think I am your father before you tried to take your life? What if I didn’t come in sooner.”

“I’m so sorry dad. I.. I’m so sorry.” Was the only thing Bianca could utter. She had never seen her father this angry. Her lips quivered as she kept on apologizing.

Seeing the way she was, Bianca’s father cooled down a little bit. He reached for her and wrapped her in a very tight hug.

“Why princess? Why would you want to do that to yourself?” He asked sadly.

“It’s just that I love him. I love him so much that I can’t bear to live without him. He’s my life.”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

“What about me? How do you think I would be able to continue living if you’re gone? You’re the only reason I’m able to make it this far and you want to end your life all because of a useless boy?” He asked as he pulled out of the hug and stared at her.

“I’m so sorry dad. I wasn’t thinking. I’m really sorry.”

“Hush now princess. It’s alright. I’m here for you. Don’t shed your precious tears for someone that doesn’t deserve it.” He consoled.

“But what did I do so wrong? I loved him with all my heart.”

“I know you did. He is a fool to take that for granted. He will soon know that he lost a rare gem.”

“What if he doesn’t? He claimed to love me but he didn’t even blink twice when he threw me out of his life.” She muttered as more tears kept flowing down her eyes.

“It really breaks my heart to see you shedding tears for that idiot. He isn’t worth it so stop crying.”

“But how do I stop loving him? He’s the only man I’ve truly loved.”

“And more will come. You’ll eventually find the one that really love and respect you.”

“Are you sure dad?”

“I am. All you need to do is wipe your tears and stop crying over a deadbeat like him. You are a very beautiful girl, my beautiful daughter with a very bright future ahead of you. You’ll always find someone better.”

“I hope so.” She said.

“You will. In the meantime, instead of you to keep sulking about that idiot, I have the perfect plan for you.” He said with a huge smile playing on his lips.

“What is it dad?”

“How about a vacation to Hawaii?”
