Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

“Adrian.” She called when she got closer and she embraced him affectionately like I wasn’t there. They hugged briefly before they pulled away from each other.

“You came with your wife.” She added when she finally noticed my presence. She stared at me with mixed expressions on her face. It was like she was trying so hard not to be mad.

Did she actually think he would meet her alone and Adrian really did bring me out here with her. What the hell is he trying to do? The amount of anger that was coursing through my veins were indescribable but I couldn’t show it.

Adrian was smiling stupidly so hard like a very fulfilled person that he couldn’t notice the exchange of glares between Alice and I.

“I thought it would be nice to let you both bond well. This resort is a really nice place for such event. Trust me, you both are going to love it here.” He said as he held my hand and pulled me closer to where he stood with Alice.

I could see pure rage on Alice’s face but she tried so hard to hide it with a very fake smile. It’s really obvious that she doesn’t like me, too bad Adrian is just so blind to notice that.

“Why not. I didn’t get to talk to her well yesterday as I was in a hurry to leave. I’m sure we would be very close. You know how well I bond with beauties.” She complimented while Adrian smiled. I scoffed within me. She’s a very smooth talker.

Adrain turned to look at me as he waited patiently for my answer. If I decide to leave now, I would seem like a bad person and that would make Adrian really mad and disappointed.

I guess he wants the both of us to be friends. I’ll just try doing that for him but if she gets on my nerve, I won’t hesitate to fight back.

“Well, if that’s what you want, then I’m in.” I said.

“Great, now let’s go in. There’s a lot of places I would like to show you Adrian.” Alice said as she grabbed Adrian’s arm and pulled him away in a hurry.

I stared at their departing figures and chuckled softly. Remember when I said she seemed more matured and sophisticated than I was, I guess I was wrong. She’s the real definition of childish.

I don’t really know what she’s trying to pull or how she’ll do it but all I know is that it won’t work. I won’t let her succeed.

“Ariel baby, come on.” Adrian called out to me when he noticed that I wasn’t following them.

I put on a bright smile on my face and walked over to where they stood. Adrian placed my palm in his and intertwined our fingers as he led me with them.

“A resort??” Bianca asked in surprise as they stepped out of the car.

“Why do you sound so surprised? Isn’t it beautiful?” Landon asked.

“That’s not it. I was thinking we would be going to somewhere more quiet and less crowded.” Bianca answered.

“Oh.. okay. I’ll take you to another place then, I jave somewhere else in mind. Hop in.” He said and was about to enter into the car when Bianca stopped him.

“It’s fine. Since we’re already here, why don’t we just go in.” She said as she walked into the resort while Landon sighed and followed closely behind her.

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

All through our time here, Alice had been trying her best to make Adrian focus on her only by engaging him with talks about their childhood, fun things they used to do, things they have in common and all that.

She even went as far as try to engage in a couple game with him but Adrian didn’t let me feel alone not once. I don’t know if he’s acting like he doesn’t know his friend’s a crazy bitch or he’s just that dumb but she’s really getting on my nerves.

I came here to spend some time with my husband but I didn’t expect that I would have to deal with a jealous and childish control freak. I noticed how she would be upset anytime Adrian didn’t let her have her way.

My heart jumps in joy anytime that unsatisfactory look shows on her face. It took everything within me to not yell “In your face bitch!!” to her. Adrian had almost called it a day when she suggested one we played one more game before we leave.

She pulled Adrian and I, well mostly Adrian towards a place that was really crowded. I didn’t understand what was happening so I just followed Adrian’s lead.

When we got there, we found out that it was a couple’s game. A couple would have to kiss without touching each other and the winner would go home with the reward.

“This game is too childish Alice. Let’s just go home.” Adrain said when he realised what it was about.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Don’t be such a party popper Adrian. It’s going to be really fun.” She said as she tried to pull him with her to where all of the couples involved in the competition stood but Adrian wouldn’t budge. Seeing her so desperate for his affection, I decided to teach her a big lesson.

“Hubby..” I called as I turned to Adrian.

“Huh??” Adrain stared at me in surprise when I called him that.

“She’s right. Let’s just play this last game before we leave.”

“But…”

“Come on now, it’s a very easy game. Besides, I have a prize of my own if we win.” I whispered the last part as I batted my lashes seductively at him. His lips grew into a large while when he understood what I meant.

“Let’s do it then.” He said without much thought.

“Great, I hope you’ll cheer us up.” I said to Alice as a triumphant smile danced on my lips when I noticed how her face scrunched up in anger.

I pulled Adrian’s hand and let him towards where the other couples stood. Minutes later, the competition started and Adrian pulled me into a very deep kiss.

I put my hands behind me so I don’t have to touch him. We kissed and kissed for several minutes without touching each other till we heard cheers so we pulled away.

That was when we realised that we were the winner. I looked over towards where we left Alice but I couldn’t find her there. Maybe she had left when she couldn’t bear to see me amd Adrian acting all lovey dovey.

I hope she has finally known her place. I was still in my thoughts when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist. Adrian held my chin and turned me to face him before pressing another kiss on my lips.

This one was longer and more passionate than the first.
