One Night With The Billionaire

Chase almost laughed out loud. That serves Jace right. He had refused to date any woman hence they had to find one for him. And of all women in Z-City, this kind of a woman is the chosen one by his parents.

“Her beauty is on par with Jace’s handsomeness” Henry declared and Tayo shyly bowed her head. Chase felt like puking blood. He cannot tolerate the condensed atmosphere when he said “I want to take a walk, excuse me please”

“You should, dear,” Amelia approved with a forced smile. She wants him to leave so they can ask Jace to have a blind date with Tayo.

“I’ll keep you company” Jace offered and stood up, his brother was leaving, he had to leave as well. He can’t take this nonsense.

“Let Tayo accompany you. You both need to get to know each other more” Henry suggested, making eye contact with Jace.

“Bro, don’t stay too long, your son would be lonely at home” he advised sarcastically. Jace enodded “I need to leave, I want to read him his bedtime stories tonight” Jace announced.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The cheerful atmosphere suddenly went damned. The smiles on the faces of Jace’s parents disappeared and they looked embarrassed.

Festus Dante and his wife Selina exchange glances. And next, Hudson’s parents. No one seemed to understand what the two brothers meant.

“I’m sorry I’m telling you late. I found my son and he now lives with me. I hope to get his mother to accept my proposal and we’ll get married” Jace declared.

“Shut the crap. What son? You had a son Jace? How dare you have a son without my knowledge? When did you have a child with another woman?” Henry blurted.

He was furious. How could Jace make him lose face before his friend and his family? Even if he has a son, he should have informed them privately and not shamelessly before their guests.

Tayo had subconsciously held the Hem of her blouse and was shivering. She was told the eldest master of the Hudson’s family was going to get married to her. What son is he talking about?

“Okay Dad,” Jace declared and strolled off. As soon as they were away from being eavesdropped, Chase Hudson bursted into laughter. He laughed out loud and he held his belly, trying hard to curtail the urge to laugh more.

“Naughty guy. You’re a Badoo. You bursted their bubbles when you made mention of my son. But thank you though” Jace chimed, chuckling aloud.

“You should reward me then,” Chase requested, calming himself and bringing himself to stop laughing. He didn’t expect that Jace would understand what he meant when he announced that he was going for a walk.

“Eli would decide that,” Jace said and slid into his car. Chase did the same and went away. But the confusion they left behind in the garden hadn’t been cleared yet.

“Henry, I thought we would take our friendship to another dimension by sharing grandchildren. But what was your eldest son saying a while ago?” Festus Dante demanded.

“Don’t worry Festus. His mom and I aren’t aware of any child. He has always shy away from starting a relationship with a woman. He probably guessed the reason for the dinner and came up with a random excuse to leave” Henry explained.

“Jace wouldn’t do anything like having a child out of wedlock. He just wants to sound a warning that will scare you off. There isn’t anything like a child anywhere…” Amelia explained more.

Selina sighed softly. It’s better that he has no son. Her daughter cannot get married to a single father.

That same evening, Richard and Genesis went to a club. They were seeing each other more often now and Genesis already guessed what Richard’s intentions were towards her.

They danced, drank and had fun until Richard told Genesis that he couldn’t have a peaceful sleep after the issue with Arianna and Jace.

He suggested that they should go and see him. Genesis said okay. In fact, she was just being pretentious to herself, she’s trying to shake off the pain in her heart.

She spent a long time over the night, thinking about Arianna and how she felt. The thoughts of the emotional pain and torture she felt by the actions of Jace Hudson to take Eli away from her, pricks her heart like a Needle.

They decided to go and find Arianna again. She needs them. Everyone needs a shoulder to lean on difficult days and Arianna was not an exception.

Arianna was having a light dinner of pizza. She cannot say exactly that she’s had anything since she woke up the previous morning and went in search of Eli.

She felt weak and vulnerable. She doesn’t know how she was able to get the strength to still go about her contention with Jace earlier that day, but one thing was certain, she’s got no appetite for food.

Suddenly, there was a knock on her door. She knew Richard and Genesis would come and find her. She was upset with everyone and herself the previous day, but now, she’s calmed down and only wants to see her son.

She went to get the door and was surprised to find that her friends weren’t the ones at the door but a representative from the supreme Court. On his tag was Ballif George.

He introduced himself and asked if she was Miss Arianna Jason? The latter said yes, and he gave her a sealed envelope.

He made Arianna sign before leaving. As soon as Arianna shut the door, she felt her heart shattered into shreds. She wanted to sob but the tears wouldn’t come.

She sighed and held the envelope. She knew it was Jace’s signature. Each time he comes with his signature, he always leaves her devastated.

First, he tried to choke her, then he raped her and next took her son away. Holding the envelope, she knew it’s his signature again, ready to hurt her over and over again.

He had threatened her. Had he gone through with his words? Anyways, Arianna opened the envelope and saw a court order against her.

Arianna squinted, an order? Jace really did as he threatened her? She didn’t wait another minute and read through the content of it.

Jace Hudson had made a complaint against her and a restraining order had been ordered against her to stay away from him and his son Eli Hudson.

Eli Hudson? Is that her son’s name now? Eli Hudson, he’s changed his name and got an order against her? How can someone be so mean?

She can opt for appeal and request for a court hearing. The restraining order was issued by the supreme Court judge. The restraining orders would last for a period of twenty years and can be renewed if the plaintiff so desires.

But if Arianna dares to come anywhere close to Jace’s mansion, his company or anywhere around him or his son deliberately, she is risking being served a permanent restraining order from seeing or coming anywhere close to her son and his father forever!
