One Night With The Billionaire

“Let’s keep a proper relationship with each other, if not for anyone’s sake, for Arianna’s sake please” Chase declared, his gaze fixed on Richard. He was obviously referring to him.

“I don’t keep relationships with toxic people. Everyone get the hell out, I want my patient to rest” Richard insisted.

“I don’t want you to be Arianna’s doctor anymore. You get out and I will have another doctor take over from you” Jace replied, his gaze becoming cold as he stares at Richard.

“I dare you, Jace Hudson and I will get Arianna out of this hospital and you won’t get access to her anymore” Richard retorted.

“It’s enough please, everyone. Why are you both quarrelling about it? Is it because of Arianna or there’s another underlying reason you are not telling us?

Arianna is special to everyone in our different ways. She’s my bestie and childhood friend. She’s your friend for a few years Richard and you are the one who stood by her when Eli was born.

But she’s Jace’s woman as well, she’s Eli’s mother and they both shared a unique relationship with each other more than anyone else.

And what can I say about Chase, he is Eli’s uncle. He’s become Arianna’s close relative. Why are the disagreements, why can’t we just do whatever we can to help Arianna get better?

And we all have a common goal: seeing Arianna get better again and become who she used to be. Isn’t that it? Let’s work towards it like a team to make that goal and achieve our desires…”Genesis sermonise.

There was silence and next Jace went towards the door “Ensure Arianna is fine and safe, Richard Delmark” and walked away. He was going home, he needed to settle a business that night.

Chase also walked away. When they were alone, Genesis snapped at Richard “You shouldn’t have let your temper control your emotions. Jace Hudson has done nothing this time.

What happened was not his fault. You need to see how he sobbed when we heard that Arianna is dead. He probably regretted why he treated her unfairly in the past.

Please, let’s live in the present and put the past behind us, for Aria’s sake” Genesis implored and glared at Richard.

“Okay” he said.

Jace Hudson couldn’t get past the journalists. The hospital was surrounded by them and each held a microphone, ready to have Jace interrogated.

His bodyguards surrounded him and created a path for him in the middle. And despite that, several cameras were flashing, his pictures were taken and every step he took was being videoed.

“CEO Jace, why would anyone want to assassinate you?”

“What is the identity of the woman who saved your life? Do you share a unique relationship with her?

“We would want you to tell us if the woman is dead already, she possibly wouldn’t be able to survive the gunshots”

“Is it true that the shooter is a professional at the job? He is a born killer”

Several questions were asked but Jace wouldn’t answer any. He walked calmly with his head raised and his shoulders high.

He got to his car and the bodyguards made way for him to get into the car. His chauffeur was ready and soon he stepped on the throttle and zoomed off, scaring the journalists who act as barricades.

Jace arrived at his mansion and his bodyguard held the door for him to step out. The miscreant has been knocked out before being taken to the basement.

“Sir, he is chained and kept safe. But he is unconscious” Eduardo gave a report. He was supposed to be with Jace Hudson wherever he is but the latter had instructed him to stay away.

“Have you interrogated him?” Jace asked, feeling uncomfortable in his blood stained shirt. He needed to get a bath and relieve himself.

“Except that he is not the real enemy. He is the enemy’s emissary” Eduardo announced. Jace nodded and was going to walk past Eduardo when the latter asked.

“How is Miss Jason now?” He was worried sick about the poor woman. At one time, he thought she had come to stay at the Hudson’s holding but her stay didn’t last.

And now, she saved the CEO. She’s a heroine and should be applauded. He hoped the CEO would forever remain grateful to her. She’s the reason why the boss is still breathing and unharmed.

“She’s out of harm’s way but in coma” Jace Hudson gave an update. Everyone knows the part Arianna played in saving his life. He owes her his life.

“CEO Jace, forgive me but Miss Jason saved your life. I hope she gets rewarded for the risk she took” Eduardo stuttered.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jace paused and nodded. “Yeah, I owe her my life. And it’s comforting to know that she’s Eli’s mother after all” Jace declared.

Eduardo was dazed. “Miss Jason is Eli’s mother?” He asked. But Jace didn’t answer his question as he strode into the house.
