Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

~THE NEXT DAY~

It was around 8 am in the morning. The sun brightened up the beautiful sky. The birds around were busy singing their sweet and harmonious melodies. It was a real sight to see.

Some rays of the sun escaped through the almost closed curtains and shoned on the sleeping figure in the dinning hall.

“Urgghh..” Adrian groaned tiredly as his eyes fluttered open. He blinked severally as he tried to wipe off the sleep from his eyes.

When he was fully awake, he noticed he was still in the dining hall. He had slept on the chair with his head rested on the table all through the night. Probably why he was having severe pains all over his body.

He stared around in search for Ariel but couldn’t find her. The last thing that he remembered last night was him eating her food. Wait a moment… he ate her food and then, his eyes slowly started to get blurry.

He had a very pounding headache before his body finally gave up. Did she drug the food?? He wondered but still shook the thought from his head because he knows Ariel doesn’t have the balls to do such a thing to him.

Maybe he was just tired because of the long journey and the jet lag so his body couldn’t take the stress anymore. Besides, she ate the food with him. There’s no way she would drug him.

Well, it’s still believable that she left him to sleep in the dinning hall instead of bringing him into the room as she had no intention of sharing it with him in the first place.

He rubbed his temple slowly as he managed to stand up from the chair. His legs still felt really weak so he fell back on the chair. After seating for a few minutes, he tried again and was finally able to stand on his feet.

He walked slowly towards the room. With the thoughts that she had locked the door from behind, he was about to knock on it when the door opened up a little by itself.

He opened the door fully and entered inside only to find Ariel, still sleeping soundly, like a baby. He didn’t know when he walked closer to where she laid on the bed. He crouched next to her and stared at her sleepy face.

There were tendrils of her hair that was covering her face so he used his hand to move them. He smiled when she moved a little and murmured something under her breath. She looked so cute at that moment.

“If only she’s this peaceful when she’s awake.” He muttered softly.

He sighed and stood up after he had admired her sleepy figure for sometime. He took off his shirt and entered into the bathroom. He turned on the tap and was about to rinse his face when something caught his attention.

“What the hell!!” He said in horror as he stared at his face.

************************************

I was enjoying my peaceful sleep when I heard someone call my name. I didn’t answer as I didn’t want to be disturbed until the person tapped me aggressively on my legs.

“What is it??” I asked in frustration even though I haven’t even seen the person yet. My eyes were half shut due to the sleep.

“What the fuck did you do to my face???” The moment I heard that irritating voice, the sleep wiped off my eyes.

Right in front of me was a very angry looking Adrian. Normally, I would be really scared because of the way he was fuming at me but looking at him now, I couldn’t hold back my laughter. I bursted into a hot round of laughter while Adrian’s anger increased.

“What’s so funny??” He asked as he creased his brows. I couldn’t reply him as I continued laughing heartily.

“You think this is funny right?? You really think this is funny?!?!” He screamed out.

“I would be really crazy if I said it isn’t.” I said as I tried to stifle back the laughter that was threatening to burst out of my mouth.

“You did this to my face and you still have the guts to laugh at me???”

“Yes, so??” I said, without fear.

“What?? You tattooed my face all because of what??” His face looked really funny right now because of all the drawings I left on it.

“I didn’t tattoo your face. It’s just temporary marker. You can easily wash it off.” I muttered.

He grunted heavily before he went into the bathroom. Moments later, he came back with his face cleaned up and a towel in his hand. He used the towel to dry his face. I still couldn’t stop myself from laughing.

“You’re so lucky I didn’t use a permanent marker on your face. That’s just payback for what you did to me yesterday.” I said.

“What??” He asked in confusion.

“Don’t act like you’ve forgotten already. You enjoyed making fun of me yesterday but now, it’s my turn.” I said.

“Too bad you used a temporary marker.” I chuckled when he said that.

“You really think that I wouldn’t keep a souvenir for future use??” I asked as I brought out my phone. His confusion increased so I opened it and showed him the photo I took last night.

His eyes widened in horror and he moved to snatch the phone from my hand but I was quick to move away. He tried again but I quickly turned it off so he wouldn’t be able to unlock it.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Delete that photo, now!!” He ordered.

“Why should I? You look great in it.” I teased with a huge grin playing on my lips.

“Delete the photo Arie…”

“Or what??” I asked, unfazed.

He held me by my arms and pushed me on the bed, thereby towering himself over me. He was so fast that I didn’t know when I was helpless underneath him.

“I’m giving you the last chance Ariel. Delete that photo or you’ll regret not listening to me.” He warned.

“I would like to see what you think that you would be able to do to me.” I said with a smile. There’s nothing he would do to me that would make me delete the photo.

“Really??” He asked softly. I started to feel uneasy when I noticed how soft he had become. It was suspicious.

“Y… yes..” I stuttered out in a bid to not look fazed.

“Alright then, you asked for it.” He muttered as he trailed his long fingers down my body.

“What are you doing??” I asked in fear when I felt his hands against my bare skin.

“Trying to get what I want.” Was all he said before he assaulted my fragile body with tickles.
