Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

After the Alice lady had left, I turned my attention back to Adrian and folded my arms underneath my boobs, whole putting on a very serious expression. He smiled and walked closer to me.

“I’m hungry, what’s for breakfast?” He asked as he wrapped his hands around my waist, pulling me closer to him.

“Were you really going to leave me here and walk her home?” I asked instead.

“Urhmm.. I don’t get why you’re putting it that way.” He answered in confusion.

“You were just going to leave me here and waltz off with a friend I never knew you had.”

“You would have been fine on your own.” I scoffed and push him away from me, thereby putting a small distance between us both.

“And she wouldn’t be fine too??” I asked angrily.

“I don’t understand the reason you’re trying to make a big deal out of nothing.”

“Oh you’re saying that I’m being problematic right??”

“What?? No. I never said that.” He refuted.

“You didn’t need to. I could hear it in your tone.”

“Please baby, let’s not start up a fight this morning, we just made up.” He pleaded.

“Alright then, answer my question truthfully. Who’s she to you?” I asked, with a very serious expression on my face.

“Like I said before, we are just childhood friends.”

“Oh really?? You both don’t seem like ‘just childhood friends’ to me.” I said making air quotes.

“We have a very special bond.” I chuckled bitterly when he said that. I knew his relationship with her wasn’t really as simple as he made it seem.

“A special bond.” I muttered under my breath.

“I see.” I said to him as I turned on my heels and was about to go into the kitchen when he suddenly held my hand, thereby stopping me from leaving.

“Is something the matter?” He asked as he turned me to face him.

“Nothing’s wrong.” I answered as I put on a fake smile on my face and tried leaving again but he stopped me for the second time.

“What’s with the change of attitude? Did I say something wrong?” He asked.

“You didn’t.”

“But you don’t look okay. Is it because of Alice? Did she say something to you while I was gone?” I opened my mouth and was about to say something when his phone started ringing.

I felt my heart thump when I was Alice’s name flashing on the screen. She didn’t even waste any time in calling him.

“You said you’re hungry so I wanted to go and prepare something for us.” I lied.

“Uhmm.. okay.” He answered as he hesitated before letting me go.

When I got to the kitchen, I held onto the counter to stabilze my self as my legs suddenly became too weak to hold my weight. I didn’t really understand why I was feeling that way.

Why was I jealous when I saw that lady? Truth to be told, she was older, more beautiful and sophisticated looking. She was more like Adrian’s type than I’ll ever be. They looked so good when they stood together.

Also, I was well aware of the fact that she was in love with Adrian because of the way she was staring at him and also, that smirk she gave me, she saw me as a threat to her.

They know each other way longer than I know Adrian and that’s really something. Wait.. why am I having such thoughts? Why am I jealous of a lady I barely know??

They might be childhood friends but that is none of my business. Afterall, we don’t even love each other and we are just in a contract marriage. I turned back and saw him still talking to Alice on his phone.

He had a very wide smile on his face as he chattered away. I’ve never seen him smile like this with me before. I guess that’s just as far as our relationship go.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

When I couldn’t bare to watch him anymore, I turned my attention towards the food I was planning to prepare. I can’t let anything ruin my vacation.

Adrain had the urge to just pull her in and give her a very deep consoling hug when he noticed how she looked but he didn’t think it was appropriate at that moment as all that was on his mind was how to make it up to her.

He knew that her mood changed the moment she met with Alice and he didn’t really know why it happened. He wondered if they had some type of argument while he was away.

All that was on his mind was what he could do to return the gorgeous smile back to her face so, when Alice suggested a get together, he didn’t refuse it. He wanted the both of them to get to know each other more.

They were the two most important women in his life at that moment so he wanted them to be close and get to know each other more. He hoped that his plan would work.

In a hotel room, a middle aged woman could be seen seated impatiently. She was obviously waiting for someone. After about five minutes, the door to the hotel room was opened from the outside and a man, a few years older than she was walked in.

“What took you so long??” She asked rather angrily.

“Traffic and I had to make sure no one was on my tail.” He answered.

“Well, I hope no one followed you.”

“No one did. What wrong? Why do you look so scared?” He asked as he stared at her worriedly.

“He has found out about us.” She answered. His eyes widened when he understood what she said.

“How?”

“I don’t know but I could tell because of the way he’s been acting lately. He obviously knows something about us.”

“But that can’t be possible. I made sure to wipe away all traces of evidence that point towards us.”

“I guess you weren’t so thorough then. Why would he go for a test if he didn’t know anything??”

“A test? How do you know that?”

“He’s my son!! You think I wouldn’t know that??” She almost screamed out.

“Oh… what do we do now? I’m finding it hard to keep Adrian under my watchful eyes and now Oliver is already unto us.”

“Well, he hasn’t exposed us yet so we are safe for now. Just keep on watching Adrain while I make sure Oliver doesn’t spill out anything. If Adrian finds out about what happened, we’ll all be doomed.”

“Don’t worry. I’ve got everything under control.” He consoled.

“I sure hope you do.” She muttered.
