The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

The charming young man stretched his hand before Arya for a friendly handshake..

“I’m Chad.. Chad Smith.. nice to finally meet you Mrs Anderson”

Arya had a weird smile on her face while she accepted his harmless handshake..

“How did you know I’m Mr Anderson’s wife?” She asked through gritted teeth..

Chad laughed it off and rested his gaze briefly at Chloe..

“You both know each other?” Chad asked to receive a nod from Arya..

Chloe snorted and moved her gaze elsewhere, Chad and Bryan makes her sick to the core..

“She’s my friend”

Chad smiled in return and began walking forward while they walk by his side..

“No need to feel insecure I’m Kyle’s friend” Chad announced..

Arya’s lips rounded, now it made sense, Kyle never told her he had any friends.. infact she thought he was a complete loner and a big fat jerk!.

“He already informed me of your visit..” Chad murmured and stopped in front of a ward..

“Oh..”

Arya looked at the door and back to Chad who gave her a firm nod..

“If you need anything reach out to me.. my office is just down the hall”

Arya smiled at him “Thanks Chad”

Chad met Chloe’s eyes as if waiting for a thank you from her..

“Jerk” She murmured which Chad heard loud and clear..

Chad excused himself and almost immediately Arya pushed the door and stepped into the ward..

She looked around the ward and was a bit moved, Kyle still had a little bit of goodness inside of him..

Her gaze landed on the frail figure on the bed with an oxygen mask on his face..

The sounds of the various machines beeping in the room coincided with the sound of her heart beating fast..

She hurried to his side and stared down at his face..

“Dad” Arya called out and took one of his thin hands in hers..

What level of torture has he passed through in the hands of those two? his bony frame shattered her heart..

Meanwhile Chloe was awestruck by the view in front of her.

“Uncle?”

She touched Arya’s shoulder and pulled her into a comforting embrace..

“You found him? I thought Vivian and your stepmom held him captive”

Arya’s grip around Chloe tightened, seeing her dad this way broke her..

How can they be so heartless to do this? he looked so pale and unhealthy..

“I won’t let Vivian and her mother off so easily, they must pay ten folds of what they did to him” Arya choked out amidst tears..

Chloe’s eyes watered while she stroked Arya’s hair tenderly..

“Everything will be alright Arya” Chloe comforted.

Kyle who was in the conference room raised his head from the document he just read thoroughly..

“There’s a clause here which states that I have to give up the land Arya’s delight restaurant is built on”

One of the men nodded with a smile “Yes Mr Anderson.. that’s the main reason we agreed to sign this business deal”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Kyle closed the document and pushed it to his left hand side..

“I don’t think I can do that”

Kyle’s assistant who was standing by his side leaned down to Kyle’s ear.

“Boss.. if we don’t agree to this our company might suffer a huge loss”

Kyle waved him off, he turned back to the men who were murmuring amongst themselves..

He cleared his throat to bring back their attention..

“Mr Anderson we understand that.. you bought that place to expand your company but the truth is we really need that place more than you do”

Kyle stroked his chin as if in deep thought “There’s a restaurant there.. what do you plan to do with it?”

“It’s not really a big deal Mr Anderson.. Arya’s delight isn’t really a fancy place.. I heard it serves undercooked food.. we are only doing everyone a favor.. by demolishing it”

Kyle’s gaze darkened, he banged his hand on the table which made everyone jerk up on their seats..

“Nonsense!” Kyle barked.

“There’s no need to take it personal Mr Anderson, the owner is just a common lady.. we will offer her a huge amount that she won’t be able to refuse”

Kyle sprang up from his seat “That common lady you’re referring to is my wife! and as for this deal… it’s over!”

The men were perplexed and at the same time confused..

Tim pushed the document back to them “I’m sorry but the deal is off.. you know Mr Anderson doesn’t go back on his words”

Tim bowed and tailed after Kyle who was already half way through the door..

A lady sat on a swiveling chair with a glass of red wine on her hand..

Her long black hair resting on her shoulder was thrown backwards by her..

Her red colored lips smacked together when she spotted the person who just appeared..

“It’s been a year since you left, young miss is waiting for you”

The lady’s blacked orbs dilated, and she stood up from her seat and walked gracefully to the man..

“You say?” her soft voice came through before she took a sip out of her glass..

The young man cleared his throat once more “Don’t you understand my words?”

The young lady’s eyes diverted to the mirror present in her office..

“Tell your young miss that I’m old enough to live my life the way I want and she doesn’t have a say in it”

“She has a new task for you.. come back quickly it has a huge price attached”

Her lips pulled upwards, she swiftly turned to him “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I’ll be there in an hour relay my message” She said with a wink.

Arya stopped walking and stood in front of Chloe with her hands folded under her bossom..

They were leisurely taking a stroll around the hospital..

“So care to explain why you’ve been absent from work two days ago?”

Chloe’s smiled freezed on her face, how was she supposed to explain that Bryan abducted her?

“You’re beginning to sound like my brothers Arya.. it wasn’t intentional okay?”

Arya sighed and pointed to a bench not too far away from them..

“Come let’s sit”

Chloe nodded and tailed behind Arya to the bench..

Arya sat down and looked ahead with a small smile, she watched a few patients laughing and playing around..

“Bryan held me captive for two days that’s the reason I didn’t show up.. I promise”

Arya’s brows knotted “But who’s Bryan?”

Chloe rolled her eyes “As in Bryan.. Alexander”

“Oh.. I heard from Sam that he’s into you how true is that?”

Chloe’s face fell in disgust, “No way!! I’m gonna kill Sam”

Arya chuckled and brought out a journal from her purse..

“Chloe.. I’m searching for Mr Anderson’s missing lover”

“Huh?” Chloe blinked back

Arya sighed and nudged Chloe with her elbow “Come on you heard me right”

Chloe’s eyes fell on the journal and she gasped “Are you nuts Arya? you know what you’re trying to do won’t end well for you”

Arya placed her palm over Chloe’s mouth “Please.. I’ve been through this stage already” Arya said with a bored expression..

This was the exact expression and words Mia said to her the other day and she wasn’t ready to hear all of it any more..

Chloe pulled Arya’s hand off and inhaled deeply “I’m your best friend and I’m supposed to look out for you”

Arya placed her palm over Chloe’s and gave a small nod to her..

“Just trust me”

Chloe sighed in defeat “So what is that?”

Arya ran her hands on Charlotte’s name on the journal..

“This belongs to Charlotte, Ray’s biological mother..”

Arya noticed the frown that settled upon Chloe’s face..

“I don’t think Mr Anderson knows anything about this journal.. because I found something odd about Charlotte when I read through the first four pages”

Chloe’s ears perked up “What is it? is she a witch?”

“Not really… the first pages spoke about how heart broken she was”

Chloe was about to speak when she noticed a lady in a black hoodie staring keenly at them quite a distance away from them..

“Arya is it me or is that lady looking at the both of us?”

Arya followed Chloe’s line of sight and nodded in affirmation..

“Yeah she is”..

They heard a little rattling noise from the flowers behind them, Arya snapped her head back to see what it was but found nothing strange..

She looked forward again and the strange lady was gone..

She picked Charlotte’s journal from her laps and stared down at it..

“Chloe I have a strange feeling that someone is watching us”
