Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

All through the ride back home, Adrian was very silent. He was siting close to the most gorgeous woman he had ever laid his eyes on and that was enough to make him really uncomfortable.

He couldn’t control himself when he first saw her in that beautiful red dress so he lost control of himself and tried to force his way on her even though she didn’t want him. That was something he had never ever thought he would do to a lady.

When she had managed to push him off her, that was when his senses came back and he started regretting what he did. He badly wanted to stay with her because he knew that a lot of lustful eyes would be on her.

Thinking about the amount of attention that she would get from the opposite sex made him really mad so he decided to go into the gala with her. He knew that she wouldn’t want him close to her as Oliver so the only thing he could do was go in as his real self.

He was able to call his assistant and had a new tux prepared for him. He quickly changed his clothes and the style of his hair so she wouldn’t suspect anything. Then he put on the mask that he wears and used the wheelchair to enter the hall.

He has never come out in the public before but decided to do it today only because of her. Things were going fine until she said she saw Melanie and Oliver. That made him shock.

He was wondering if she had already figured out the truth but she didn’t ask any more questions after he shunned her harshly. Now, in the car, he felt that she had a lot of things to say due to how she would turn to stare at him occasionally.

He hoped she hadn’t found out yet since his plan of getting her hadn’t worked yet. It was really fun toying with her emotions so he didn’t want it to stop just yet.

Luckily, the car reached the mansion and he got out. Before she could come down from the car, he made the driver wheel him into his room so she wouldn’t be able to ask him any more questions.

When he got there, the driver left after he had shut the door behind him. Unbeknownst to Adrian, the door wasn’t shut well. There was a little opening so anyone passing could see what he was doing inside. Adrian picked up his phone and called Oliver immediately. The call was picked after it rang for about two times.

“What did you do??” Adrian asked the moment Oliver picked the call.

“Is that the right way to greet your one and only cousin?” Oliver asked playfully but Adrian didn’t reply. He wasn’t in the mood for any jokes. When Oliver noticed that, he turned serious immediately.

“It wasn’t my fault. Melanie saw the both of us together so she called me by my name in front of Ariel.” Oliver explained.

“Why would you meet with her in the first place??” Adrian asked angrily.

“Hey, don’t try to pour your anger and frustrations on me. No one asked you to pretend to be someone you’re not so you can’t blame me if your plan is going sour.”

“So you’re trying to say that if she eventually finds out, it will he my fault.” Asked Adrian.

“Yes. Why would you lie in the first place? What were you trying to prove?” Oliver asked back.

“None of your business. I hope you’ll never meet with her again.”

“Why not??”

“She’s my wife and I forbid you to ever meet her.”

“Why are you getting all possessive? It’s not like I want to steal her from you.”

“I don’t care. Just don’t show yourself to her anymore. I don’t want her to start doubting me.”

“Even if I stop meeting with her, it won’t stop her from finding out about your lies. This is just the tip of the iceberg. I wonder what else you’d be willing to do to stop her from finding out about what you are hiding. I hope you won’t regret all these later.”

“That’s my problem not yours.”

“I see. Anyway, good luck with whatever you think you’re trying to achieve.” Oliver muttered as he ended the call.

Adrian sighed deeply as he used his hands to comb through his hair, roughening it a little bit. He started to feel uncomfortable with his mask so he decided to pull it off.

After that, he stood up from the wheelchair and walked towards his mirror. He stood in front of it as he admired his face.

“What type of lady won’t fall for this handsome face? Is the blind or what??” He asked himself as he touched his bare face.

He really needs his plan to work. He wanted her to fall deeply in love with him so he could prove his point but she was just too stubborn. She wouldn’t even look his way twice.

He didn’t want to force her to do what she doesn’t want but it was hard not to whenever he thinks about her supposed lover. She was fine with fooling around with other guys but not him. That really hurt his ego and made him look stupid.

He badly wanted her to fall for him but how do he go about it without forcing her? He smiled happily when an idea crossed his mind. Instead of treating her the way he used to, why don’t he just do something really nice from her?Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Apart form being rich and handsome, no sane girl can ever resist a kind and understanding man. He would make sure to carry his plans out well so there would be no way she would be able to resist him even if she wanted to.

“Ariel, in less than a month, you would be head over heels in love with me and that would be your weakness. You think you can play me for a fool, we’ll see who’s the bigger fool.” He muttered lowly but loud enough for Ariel who had been watching him to hear.

After seeing everything, she moved away from the door and went back into her room. The hunger that she was feeling earlier had suddenly disappeared. All that was on her mind was what she had saw and heard.

Why didn’t she realize this in the first place? It was very obvious but she was just too blind and stupid to notice. They had a lot of similarities ranging from their eyes, voices, the way they acted and their anger issues.

Oliver had always known what she only told Adrian. The most obvious one was that whenever Adrian was around, she wouldn’t see Oliver and vice versa. She has never seen them together before.

She had been played as a fool by her darling husband and she couldn’t even notice. He called her a whore when he had been posing as his cousin and trying to bed her.

What if she had fallen for his advances?? That would have beenore embarrassing. Thinking about that made her angrier. She needed to teach him a huge lesson so he’ll never toy with her ever again but how was she going to go about it.

She racked her brain thoroughly to see if she could get any idea. After minutes of intense thinking, one popped in.

“Since he wants to fool me so badly, I’ll play his game and dance to whatever tune he plays. We’ll see who will emerge as the winner.” She thought as a huge smirk appeared on her face.
