Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

I was really shocked so I turned towards Sandy to check if she had just witnessed what I did. Sandy’s expressiom was no different from mine. What has gotten into Bianca??

I stared at her in shock, trying to see if I can figure out what she was plotting. The smile on her face still remained there. It wasn’t a malicious smile like before but rather, a very genuine smile. I have never seen Bianca smile this way. Well, not at me though.

“What’s with that question?” I didn’t care if that came out offensive. At that moment, all I wanted to know is why she was talking to me like we aren’t sworn enemies.

“I just asked, since I noticed that you have been glowing since you returned.” Okay, double weird.

“Bianca, did you have some sort of accident or what?” It was Sandy’s turn to ask.

“Accident? No, I didn’t.”

“So why are you acting like you have brain damage?” Sandy asked again.

“What do you mean by that?” She asked with a tight smile on her lips. She was angry about that question but was trying so hard not to show it.

“Bianca, have you forgotten who you’re talking to? It’s me Ariel amd Sandy.”

“So? I know who you are.” She answered in a ‘duh’ tone.

“So why are you acting like we haven’t been sworn enemies for over a decade now?” I asked again.

“I know and I realised that it’s very stupid. I mean, we aren’t kids anymore. We would soon be graduating from high school in a few months and continue with the rest of our lives. I figured it would be really childish to continue with this feud between us.”

“So what you’re trying to say is that you want us to just forget about all of our fights and be really good friends??” I asked her as I gave her a ‘are you stupid?’ look.

“It wouldn’t be that easy for you both to just forget about everything that has happened mainly because of some of the extreme things I did. I was only hoping you both would be able to forgive me so I can let go of this guilt in my heart.” She said as a very guilty expression appeared on her face.

I stared at her in shock wondering if it’s the same Bianca that I know. I know that Bianca would never ever admit she’s wrong talk less of apologize even though she’s at fault. What has really gotten into her?Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“You are really asking for our forgiveness??” I asked again just to be sure and she nodded her head as an answer.

“How do we know it isn’t another one of your tricks?” Sandy asked her.

“The old me would never apologize to anyone even though she’s wrong.” She said. Exactly what I was thinking.

“Even though you’ve really changed like you claim, you don’t expect us to just forgive you with just an apology.” Sandy said.

“She’s right. You haven’t really done anything to deserve it.” I added.

“What do you want me to do then? Tell me anything you want and I’ll do it.” I stared at Sandy in shock and she had the same look on her face. She’s really serious about earning our forgiveness.

“You don’t really have to do anything now. We’ll let you know with time.” I said to her.

“Okay then. Just let me know if you need anything from me. I’ll gladly do it.” She muttered before walking away.

“What just happened??” I asked no one in particular when Bianca had already left our sight.

“Did Bianca of all people just apologize to us??” Sandy asked back.

“It feels like I was in a trance.”

“Me too. I never really thought this day would ever come.” Samdy muttered.

“Do you think she’s faking it?” I asked.

“I doubt that. That breakup must have been a real eye opener to her.”

“Break up??” I asked in surprise as I turned to face Sandy.

“Don’t you know? Lucas broke up with Bianca.” Sandy announced.

“He did?? Wait, how do you know??”

“One of her minions leaked it. That’s the reason she was in Hawaii for the past two weeks.” Sandy answered.

“She was in Hawaii?”

“Yes, she posted about it on her social media accounts. Haven’t you seen any of the news? It’s really trending.” Sandy brought out her phone and showed me the photos.

“How come I didn’t know about all of these??”

“I doubt you had time to be online since you have been enjoying your vacation with your husband.”

“I was online… sometimes but I never saw any of these.”

“Then I doubt that you were really online.”

“Whatever, but I’m still really surprised.”

“About what??” Sandy asked as she put her phone back into her bag.

“Lucas’s and Bianca’s breakup.”

“What’s really surprising about that??”

“I mean, Lucas loves Bianca a lot and so does she. Why would they suddenly break up??”

“It’s Lucas you’re talking about. He left you for Bianca and you really think that he wouldn’t leave her? I’m pretty sure he found someone better. Once a cheat, always a cheat.” Sandy said.

“You’re right. Someone like him can never be satisfied with one thing.”

“Exactly, now back to Bianca, well I think she’s being sincere but we can’t be too sure. We just have to watch her for a while to see if she has any ulterior motive.” Sandy said.

“You’re right. Bianca has always been a really schemy person. She might be planning something.”

“And she won’t succeed as we would be ready for her.” Sandy said. I was about to say something when a guy came out of nowhere and exchanged greetings with Sandy.

“Who’s that?” I asked Sandy after he had left.

“Marcus.” She answered curtly.

“The same Marcus you’re tutoring??”

“The one and only.”

“Wow, I must say, he’s really handsome. No wonder you ditched me just to tutor him on Sunday.”

“What? I only did that because he urgently needed ky help to pass his math test.” Sandy explained.

“Finally, Hillary has a contender.” I said happily, ignoring what she just said.

“What are you even saying Ariel?” Sandy asked in surprise.

“Don’t worry, you’ll find out soon.” I muttered as I thought about how Hillary’s going to feel when I tell him about Marcus.

“Someone’s about to be jealous.”

**LATER THAT DAY**

“Fuck!! Fuck!! Fuck!!” Alice cussed out as she grabbed her hair angrily.

How was he able to do that? She was very beautiful and sexy but Adrian couldn’t see that. He didn’t even glance at her twice before throwing her out of his office coldly.

This was the first time she is being rejected by the opposite sex. Every guy she had ever been with had never thought twice before saying yes to her. Most of them even approached her first but why was Adrain different.

It’s all Ariel’s fault. Ariel had really brainwashed him to the extent that he would never look at any other person except her. For more than a decade, Alice had always hoped Adrain would be hers but it took just one month for that brat to have him all to herself.

Alice felt pure rage as the scene played in her head over and over again. She was going to get Adrain no matter what it took. Since seducing him didn’t work, the only thing to do now was to get rid of Ariel.

She’s going to severe the connection between the both of them and then have Adrain all to herself just like old times. To do that, there’s only one person to go to. Someone that wouldn’t blink twice in helping with her quest.
