One Night With The Billionaire

He just glared at Jace. Arianna had an abortion? Oh no…this should not be happening. He knows exactly how it was to lose an unborn baby, he also has been there before.

And in this case, Jace’s own was more complicated. He definitely wouldn’t make love to her if he doesn’t want her. And he knows how protective his brother was on his own things.

He would have swirled Arianna around if he got to know that she was pregnant with his child. How can she do that to Jace, how can she do that to her fiance, someone who loves her so much.

Chase sighed audibly. He was nothing to be compared to Jace in terms of decency, commitment to relationship and responsibilities.

He had always known that he was a rascal back then when Rosalinda was pregnant. He even rejected the pregnancy and told her to have an abortion, a terrible attitude of his towards women. An action he regrets so much now.

Yet when Rosalinda miscarried, he wished it never happened. He wished that she had the baby and he would be happy. The weight of guilt he felt at the loss of that child makes him swore never to hurt a woman again.

But Jace, he’d always been a good guy. He doesn’t deserve this. This is really hard for him to believe what she did. He would have asked Jace how he knew Arianna had an abortion.

But remembering what Arianna said the previous day, he could guess that Jace held concrete evidence that she cannot deny. Had she been aborting his child for long?

“I don’t know what exactly to say to make you cheer up. But I want you to know that I know exactly how you feel, I’ve also been there a few months ago.

At this time, you need to cheer up. Don’t let this demoralise you. You can always make other babies with Arianna. You should forgive her and begin again…” Chase Persuaded him.

Richard Delmark arrived at the hospital the next day and he was offered a letter of suspension. Jace’s lawyer had sued him at Jace’s order.

His practising licence had been revoked. Until he was proven innocent, he could return to practise as a medical doctor otherwise, he would be banned from his profession.

He was to appear in court the next Tuesday to make a defence. He should come along with evidence of a consent form signed by both parents and the date and appointment with the patient.

Richard sighed helplessly. Jace had dealt him a terrible blow. His practising licence revoked, how can he make a defence and win against Jace’s team of learned colleagues?

He was now restless. Beads of sweat rose on his temple. He stared at the court order, signed by the magistrate himself. What will he do now?

His dad’s political career, he would be sworn into office in a couple of weeks. Nothing should ruin his reputation or question his son’s parental upbringing. Oh gosh, what has he done?

His medical training and all that, will it all go to waste? He cannot tell his father, that would be the worst for him. What will he do now?

The medical director of the hospital walked into his office. He was aware of Richard’s suspension. It was an order from the CEO.

“Dr. Richard, is there a problem between you and the CEO?” He asked and almost immediately continued”He was extremely mad last night when he came around. He requested for the hospital folders and went through them, searching for something that only he knows about…” the medical director explained.

“Yes, there’s something but it will be sorted out. Kindly have me excused” Richard declared and walked out.

Meanwhile, Arianna got to the office and sat down. Her eyes caught the attention of a memo on her table and she picked it up. Her eyes became deeply introverted as she read the content of it.

She walked briskly towards the CEO’s office. Without knocking on the door, she pushed the door open and stepped in. Jace was seated on the sofa with his legs crossed, his head resting on the back rest with eyes closed.

He wasn’t sleeping, just had his eyes closed. Chase seemed to be talking to him but suddenly paused when she walked in.

Jace still had his eyes closed but knew someone walked in. Arianna saw him seated, dressed casually, a total different way from his usual office appearance.

Chase glared at Arianna with a disapproved glance. He loves her and thinks highly of her. If she could keep and raise Eli singlehandedly why wouldn’t she keep the baby with Jace by her side?

His brother would definitely be happy to have the baby. Why would she take that decision about their unborn baby single handedly? They both own the baby and it should be a collective decision.

Arianna knew that Chase already knew what she’d done. She felt herself become little before him. He also was disappointed in her.

She came closer just as Jace snapped his eyes open. As soon as she stepped in, he knew she was the one. Her feminism is unique and her fragrance is such that he could detect it from a distance.

“Jace, I don’t understand this memo” Arianna declared and walked over to sit next to him when Jace violently shoved her aside and she tripped.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Her ankle almost sprained. Chase came over and gave her hand, helping her to raise herself. Her complexion turned red and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Are you crazy? If you ever try to lay those wretched hands of yours on me again, I will choke you to death” Jace threatened, his eyes throwing daggers at her.

Arianna’s tears dropped and she sniffled. This is the old Jace that she’d known. He has returned to be who he used to be. She had pushed him to that point again.

“I know I was wrong in every sense of the word. But we can talk about this between ourselves. I am sorry to have had an abortion, I’m really sorry Jace.

But don’t leave me. I can’t endure the torture of losing you, my love. I love you and I promise to make it up to you. If you break up with me, I will die, Jace” Arianna pleaded.

“Die Arianna! I desperately want you dead. I want you to go to the place you sent my unborn child and tell him you are the stupid unfortunate mother who murdered him” Jace thundered.
