The Billionaire I Fell In Love With

“She won’t even pick our calls” Mrs Helen said to Arusha as he ate his breakfast.

“She doesn’t want to be distracted.. i guess”Arusha said, even though he longed to hear from his sister.

“Irish is just so stubborn, i hope she doesn’t get hurt” Mrs Helen said worriedly.

Arusha was worried also but he didn’t voice it out.

He knew how dangerous Morgan is.

“She’ll be fine, Mum” He assured her.

He downed a glass cup of water after eating and kissed her goodbye.

“Have a nice day” Mrs Helen said after him.

“You too Mum” Arusha said before walking out of the door.

He met Ryan waiting outside the gate.

“Hey buddy” they greeted eachother with smiles.

They both waited for the car that conveyed Arusha to school with Arin and Jessica. Ryan wanted to see Jessica before going to school, he does that every morning.

“You should come to our school instead of waiting to see Jessica every morning” Arusha teased and Ryan punched him playfully.

“How’s Irish?” Ryan asked.

“She’s fine, though not around for now, she’s dealing with some shitty stuff”Arusha said.

“Does it involve Mr Ethan?” Ryan asked.

“Of course”

Ryan smiled “silly couple fights”

“I hope that’s what it is this time but it looks pretty serious”Arusha said.

“Uh..” Ryan sighed.

“They would solve it out”Arusha said.

“Their car is approaching” Ryan smiled.

Mrs Helen heard a knock on the door while cooking lunch, she quickly went to get it and she wasn’t surprised to find Ethan standing there.

“I know she’s not home but is she home?” Ethan asked and Mrs Helen sighed.

She invited him in.

“Irish left with Morgan, Ethan” She said, sitting beside him on the couch.

“She told me, i know but did she really left me for him?” Ethan smiled, shaking his head. “I was shocked also” Mrs Helen said, she wanted to tell him that Irish might be planning

something but what if she’s not, she doesn’t want to give the poor man false hope.

“Is Irish really revengeful?” He asked.

“Yes but she dropped the act long ago” Mrs Helen said.

“She picked it up again! I know i hurt her but.. she shouldn’t have hurt me this much and i can’t even get her out of my head” He breathed out.

“I’m so sorry about that Ethan, i have a feeling Irish’s coming back to you, she will” Mrs Helen said.

“I still do not want to believe she can do that to me” Ethan said.

“Me neither, but I’ll advise you wait and see what happens” Mrs Helen said and Ethan shrugged. “Do you want some pizza rolls?” She asked.

“Perhaps they’ll..” Mrs Helen was saying when her phone started ringing.

She picked it from the table.

“It’s Irish, she’s the one calling” She said to Ethan and he knew she wouldn’t even speak to him.

But his heart ached to hear her soothing voice.

Mrs Helen placed the call on loudspeaker.

“Hey Mum” She said and Ethan’s body system reacted shamelessly to her voice.

“Irish, Ethan’s here” Mrs Helen said and silence followed from the other end before they both heard a disconnecting sound.

Damnit

“Uh” Mrs Helen sighed.

“She made up her mind already” Ethan said sadly.

She clearly told him she hates him, why’s he so hurt she disconnected the call.

He hadn’t expected her to speak to him but he felt more hurt she didn’t actually tried to. He had wanted to think of everything as a joke but she just made him see the damn reality.

She’s really gone.

And won’t even talk to him.

“I’m so sorry Ethan” Mrs Helen said with a sigh.

“I’m okay, i once faced rejection, this shouldn’t be too hard to deal with” He said.

“Ethan, you trust Irish not to do such a thing right?” Mrs Helen asked.

“Of course i do, but she did it anyway” Ethan said.

“I just want you to have it in mind that she’s coming back. No one knows what she’s up to. Irish can’t just behave that way, you should know her” Mrs Helen said and Ethan nodded.

“She’s gone, I’m going to accept that. I don’t want to give myself false hope or I’ll end up getting more hurt” Ethan said.

“I’ll keep saying you should be patient” Mrs Helen said.

“Mrs Helen, i know you’re trying to comfort me but isn’t it better to accept the reality than hoping for some sort of miracle. She hates me, there’s no way she’s coming back to me” Ethan said curtly, he felt so hurt.

“She doesn’t hate you Ethan, trust me, she doesn’t” Mrs Helen said.

“I’m sorry i made you sick Mrs Helen”Ethan apologized..

“Gosh! You didn’t, i caught the flu because of cold” Mrs Helen cleared.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Really?” Ethan sat up.

“Does Irish know that?” He asked, he knew the main reason she was so pissed at him was because he made her Mum sick.

Perhaps if she knows Mrs Helen caught the flu because of cold, then she’s going to come back to him.

“She does, i told her but it seemed her mind was made up” Mrs Helen said much to Ethan’s chagrin.

He sighed and brushed back his hair with his fingers.

She left with Morgan even after Mrs Helen told her that?

“I’m beginning to think there’s a reason behind her actions” Ethan said.

“Exactly!”

“And i think i know the reason” He said.

“What reason?” Mrs Helen asked eagerly.

“She hates me” Ethan said and Mrs Helen groaned.

“I told you she doesn’t” She said.

“She does, she told me that. She has every right to hate me though, she thinks dropping her off in the rain was very unkind of me but i.. i was only trying to save her” Ethan said.

Even if they had to go back to that day, he’d still choose dropping her off cause he wouldn’t want her hurt alongside with him.

“She knows that too, she told me you were only trying to save her.”

“Then why did she do that to me!” Ethan half yelled.

“I can’t even believe she had pretended to forgive me all this while, she made me happy, only to make me sad again”

Mrs Helen patted his back comfortingly .

“Right now, I’m also short of words but I’ll keep holding on to my intuition that she’s going to come back to you and she’s only there for a reason” Mrs Helen said.

“Don’t be so devastated Ethan” Mrs Helen.

Mrs Helen wondered why Irish would choose a monster over a man who truly loves her. She knows that man is a monster but still left with him! Surely, there’s a reason.

“Will you have some pizza rolls to warm you up?” She asked.

“I’m not going to take no for an answer” She quickly added, getting to her feet.

“Here” She passed the remote control to him.

“Switch through channels while i go get your pizza rolls ready” She said with a smile before walking away.

“Thank you, Mrs Helen” Ethan said after her.
