One Night With The Billionaire

Jane was speechless.

She watched as Derick stood up and went out. Derick was estranged from his brother because of her. He didn’t want Adrian and herself to end up together, he had always preferred Susan.

But Adrian loves her the most. They all know how much Susan crushed, loved and adores Adrian but he didn’t have that feelings for Susan like he did for her.

Adrian was in his study, he tried to be calm but he couldn’t. She loves him. She begged, sobbed and wished that he loved her. He tried to explain to her, he loves her friend, Jane.

His heart was beating for Jane. He was crazily in love with her and cannot lie to her. He told her not to expect anything from him, he cannot give her what she wants.

Adrian stood up and went to stand by the window. He glanced out, not looking at anything in particular. He was guilty. He broke her heart, truncated her expectation of a happy ending with him.

He didn’t know, he never knew. How did their daughter survive after her mother’s death? Hadn’t life been unfair to her, did she swim against the tide and made it or did she go with the tide and end up mediocre.

Forgive me Susan, please forgive me. Adrian mumbled. He rested his side against the wall and folded his arms. He wished he could sob and relieve himself, but he couldn’t.

Jane walked in. She glared at Adrian’s back view and knew he felt unhappy. She wanted to approach him when he said “Call Richard, tell him to cancel the dinner party and send an urgent notice of cancellation to the dignitaries and his friends” Adrian instructed.

Susan was shocked. He isn’t interested anymore, just because he discovered that Susan had a daughter with him without his knowledge?

“Honey…” Jane began but Adrian interrupted her sharply. “Just do what I said”

Jane went out and instructed one of the servants to find Derick Delmark. After the servant left, she was fanning herself with her hand, confused and scared. This is not the sign of a good decision.

Derick returned and Jane said “Please talk to Adrian. He’s calling off the party. He is giving up his ambition even before it starts. Just talk to him, please”

Jane’s words sounded strange. Adrian backing out? Travelling all the way to Z-City just to be told that the whole event has been cancelled?

“Where is he?” Derick asked and Jane told him. The next thirty minutes, Derick was trying to convince his brother. He had gotten this far and shouldn’t think of backing off.

“What kind of a father am I? I can’t even take responsibility for my own daughter? Where is she, how can I find her? Why should I be aspiring for a political position when I have failed in family matters?” Adrian complained.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

“You didn’t know. It was my fault that I didn’t tell you all these years. I will find your daughter, Adrian. I will not leave Z-City until I bring your daughter to you.

But please, let the preparation for the party continue. In less than two hours, the occasion will begin. So, let things remain and continue the way they are..”Derick Delmark coaxed.

Richard arrived home with Genesis. She had been by his side right from the moment he started putting things in order. She’s become his partner and planner.

“I’ll see dad, okay?” Richard asked and kissed Genesis. The latter smiled and said okay. As soon as Richard left, Genesis took her phone and called Arianna.

“Hey girlfriend” Genesis chimed. It’s been days since she last heard Arianna’s voice. She’s Jace Hudson’s woman now, the latter would look after her which made Richard and herself relaxed.

“Gene baby. Are you prepared for Senator Adrian’s dinner party?” Arianna asked. She’s looking forward to meeting the senator. She’s as eager as anything, she would ensure she had a one on one chat with the senator.

“Yes. Richard and I are handling the preparation. You’ll be coming, right?” Gene asked.

“Yes, Jace and I will be present. I can’t wait to be there” Arianna chimed. She glanced at her boyfriend and the latter kept his gaze on his laptop but his ears were grasping all that Arianna was saying.

Genesis smiled. Arianna is talking like someone who is in love. Is she fallen in love with Jace Hudson now?

“I’ll be expecting you. But you know what!” Genesis asked. “What?” Arianna asked. She glanced at Jace and caressed his beard.

“You’re in love, girl” Genesis declared.

Arianna blushed.
