One Night With The Billionaire

Chapter 23: Paid for his services



Jace Hudson nodded and said she could come in. He felt remorseful about the way he tortured her the last time he was with her. It turns out that she had nothing to do with Chase and he’s 90% certain now that she is not a spy.

Whatever happened between them was simply a night of pleasure and nothing else, no strings attached. He hadn’t been able to apologise to her or call her back to her job.

And now, Eli. They have a son together. His paths and Arianna’s paths will forever cross because of their son. She has a right to Eli just as he does.

The door pushed open and Arianna walked in. She was looking furious and grieved. She stared at the back view of Jace Hudson and snorted.

She never would have believed that someone so good looking would have a stinking putrefying heart. His personality and nature was in total contrast to his looks and appearance.

She had stopped seeing his physical outlook but his heart and the terribleness of it. When she saw him the previous day, when he took her son away, she only saw the most ugly and irritating being on this planet Earth.

Jace knew Arianna had walked in. He stood with his back to her and his hands in his pants pocket. He was looking out of the window, staring at the buzzing city and the activities of everyone going about their daily activities.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

It has always been like this. Can a day ever get dawn and the city wouldn’t be like this? No, he doubted it. It will forever remain like this.

What about his life with Arianna, a lot had happened. Will they forever remain arch enemies or one day, a new dawn will arrive and this hatred will be no more.

“Jace Hudson, I want my son back,” Arianna declared. She’s no longer his employee, he’d blocked her chances of getting employed by any other company. And now, the only relationship they share is being exclusively each other’s child parents.

Jace heard Arianna’s words, but remained mute, his back still turned to her and his gaze, still lingering on the busy highway.

“You have no right to my son, Jace. Let’s forget about what happened four years ago and let it go like a midsummer’s night dream and give my son back. You should look elsewhere for a son and give mine back to me” Arianna seethed.

Still, Jace didn’t reply to her nor did he turn himself to face her. He just doesn’t know what to say to this woman. The more he wants her far away from him, the more attached she gets to him.

No matter how much he wants her far, with Eli between them, that is never going to be successful. He wants to know just how to handle the toxic relationship they shared.

“Have you suddenly gone dumb, Jace Hudson? Why don’t you turn yourself to me and let’s talk”Arianna persuaded and gently, Jace turned himself to face her.

He has his usual poker face as he glared at Arianna. He scrutinises her appearance within a few seconds and he silently affirmed within himself that she’s a beautiful woman.

She’s right, they need to talk. A lot of things need to be trashed out once and for all. First if such is why she kept his son hidden away from him?

He was waiting for her to resume her ranting about him having no right to Eli. He’s his father and she’s his mother. If she can be with Eli, why can’t he?

“Why do you take my son away from me, Jace Hudson? You took everything, my virginity, my pride, self esteem and my job, everything, you took from me and even raped him on top of it.

But I let it go, because it was my fault to stumble upon an unfortunate man like you. But now, the only thing that gives me happiness and a purpose for living, you also took him away from me.

I will not let this go. I can lose everything including my life but not my son. I forced myself on you, that night, I agree but I paid you for your services, no matter how meagre it was, it was payment for your services. So why are you after me, by taking my son from me?”Arianna bellowed.

Jace Hudson squinted. She paid him, that’s true. He found the $100 note folded into his palm neatly. But he found himself smirked wickedly. Payment for his services, right? Yes, that’s what she called it.

“Who the hell do you think you are to walk into my office and claim to pay me for my services? Can you pay me for the services I rendered, can you pay me for planting my good genes into her damn filthy body?

Do you know my worth? If a strand of your hair is worth a million, it still doesn’t account for one filth of my networth. So what does your damn filthy $100 would do for me. Do you think I am some gigolo that gets paid after they spend an entire night with a woman?” Jace snapped at her.

“That’s what you looked like, Jace Hudson. I wanted a gigolo and I found one in you. I wanted someone to take my pains away and you did, it only means you were a gigolo to me that night and I paid you for it, it doesn’t matter if it’s nothing compared to your net worth”Arianna retorted.

“Do you know who you are talking to, Arianna Jason?” Jace Hudson thundered. He found himself gnashing his teeth in fury. How dare she compare him to a gigolo and invariably calls him that?

“Whoever you are Jace Hudson, I am not afraid of you anymore” Arianna replied, not batting an eyelid.

Jace Hudson took a few strides and stood before her. He glared at the woman before him and her body scent almost wanted to make him pull her into his embrace.

He bent over and saw Arianna closed her eyes and swallowed hard. He chuckled silently and whispered into her ears “I think you should be afraid of me. I can make you disappear from Z-City forever” he threatened and chuckled aloud.

He walked back abruptly and went to sit behind his swivel chair and placed his legs on the desk leisurely.

Arianna watched his every action. His closeness almost made her lose her senses. She closed her eyes thinking he would grab her by the throat and try to suffocate her but didn’t know he would only whisper into her ears.

As he sat with his custom made shiny leather shoes placed on the desk, he appeared like a demigod. He possesses the charm of a domineering man and the looks of a pervert.

“You can do nothing to me Jace Hudson beyond what you’ve already done. I will let everyone know that you are a casual, flirty man and a big time opportunist.

You go to hotels and take advantage of innocent drunken women, forcing your stinking dick into their body and returning to claim a child you know nothing about besides cumming into his mother.

Tell me, Jace Hudson, besides me, how many other women do you sleep with and rape. Find the rest of them and check on the kids you have with them, as for me, I want my son back.

And if you think you can hurt me like you threatened, you can go ahead and do it, you can claim my child but you will be haunted forever” Arianna seethed.

“Get out of my office”Jace Hudson ordered but Arianna remained standing. “My son Jace, I want my son!” Arianna yelled.

Jace summoned the securities and while waiting for them, he declared “from this moment, I am getting a restraining order against you. I will deal with you in this city that you will not be able to get the right words to express your plight” Jace threatened.

The securities walked in and he ordered “The next time, you let this crazy woman into the premises of the Hudson’s holding, I will not only make you all lose your job but I will ensure you serve a jail term”

The frightened securities were dazed at Jace’s words. The boss would do exactly what he’s said. They can’t afford to lose their jobs as they bowed before him and glared at Arianna.

Arianna wanted to refuse being thrown out but the securities, not willing to lose their jobs, held her wrist and gently led her out of the CEO’s office.

Sara was dazed. What is happening, why is Miss Arianna being led away and escorted by the security? Does she have an issue with the boss?

She heard the summoning bell and she walked briskly into the CEO’s office. Before she could look up at him, she heard him instructed “send a mail to my personal attorney, tell him to meet me by 2pm today”

Sara nodded and quickly turned around and walked out. The CEO’s countenance is unfriendly, he had been provoked by Miss Jason, she concluded. She can only conclude when she doesn’t know who was capable of making the boss so furious, is the person courting death?

Arianna was led out of the giant gate of the Hudson’s holding. “Ma’am, if we see you around these properties again, you will leave us no option but to arrest you” one of the securities advised.

Arianna’s tears run down her cheeks. Again, he’s cheated her because he has the power to silence her. He wasn’t ready to talk to her about Eli, doesn’t she have the right to be with her son, again?

Exactly 2pm, Barr Kaldo Delisire walked into Jace’s office. The two men exchange pleasantries and Jace Hudson told him he wants him to get a restraining order against a certain nuisance.

“Tell me about it, CEO Hudson,”Kaldo requested. He wants to know what to say to get the right order against her.

“The woman is my son’s mother. She’s consisting a nuisance to me and I don’t want her anywhere around me nor my son. Anywhere around us, I don’t ever want to see her,”Jace declared.

“Are there any other requests, sir?” Kaldo Delisire asked and Jace said, none for the time being.

“Consider it done,” he declared. He got Arianna’s name and that settled it. He told Jace that the order will take twenty years if he doesn’t mind, and Jace said that’s okay by him.
