The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Chapter 18_ Rivals



Martin snapped his gaze to Arya who has been staring at him since they left the station, he cleared his throat to ease the tension in the moving car..

“Well you’re welcome?” Martin murmured which earned a snort from Chloe..

Arya rolled her eyes, she wanted to know who he was and how he knew about her predicament..

“Who are you?”

Martin raised a brow, he still found it disbelieving that the two ladies who were sitting in his car now didn’t actually know who he was..

“You don’t know me? I’m like every girls dream”

“Beat it! and tell us who the f*ck you are! you d*ckh*ad!” Chloe cursed impatiently, she was already fed up with his pointless talks..

Martin swallowed and stared out of the fast moving car..

“I’m Martin Anderson”

Arya creased her brows, he was truly an Anderson? was he a distant relative?

“like Kyle’s brother or cousin?”

At the mention of Kyle’s name, Martin nodded to the driver and the car came to an abrupt halt..

“The f*ck man!” Chloe yelled out massaging her fore head that bumped on the car’s door.

“I guess this is how far I can drop you off Mrs Anderson and you too employee”

Arya and Chloe alighted and watched the car speed off, they blinked severally trying to digest what just happened..

“He was acting weird, do you know who he might be?”

Arya shook her head slowly in response to Chloe’s question..

Jake and Elizabeth sat down next to old Anderson’s bed,

“What on earth were you discussing with father that made him have an attack?” Jake questioned glaring at Dennis..

Rita arched a brow “What do you mean by that? are you trying to say my husband here tried to harm his own father?”

Elizabeth rolled her eyes and nodded to Rita’s question..

“Who knows? we can never tell, this isn’t the first time father is having an attack because of you both”

Dennis casted a glance at Jake “Tell your woman to shut her mouth up no one asked for her input”

“Don’t you dare speak to my wife that way you imbecile!” Jake retorted.

Mia stood up from her sit and unplugged her headset “Come on guys you’re way more better than this.. grandfather needs his rest and you all are depriving him of that” She scolded and the room suddenly fell quiet..

Mia smiled when she got the silence she had expected “That’s more like it! and also big bro Kyle is on his way and you know what his temper is like if he sees this bickering”..

Rita nudged Dennis “Well I guess we will take our leave then.. extend our warm greetings to father when he wakes up” She said hurriedly pulling her husband out with her..

Elizabeth breathed a sigh of relief when they were finally gone..

“Good riddance, I hope father wakes up quickly”

Kyle pinched the space between his brows when he saw Ray sobbing quietly..

He peeped at his wrist watch and sighed once more.

“Boss we just confirmed it, the person who bailed ma’am out was Martin Anderson and after they left the station, no news was reported of them”

Ray’s wails intensified when he heard the last part of the guards report.

He wiped his cheeks with the back of his palm “Maybe he took her away daddy, this is why I don’t like uncle Martin”

“Ma’am?” a guard called out when he spotted Arya walking into the living room..

“Arya!” Ray called out..

Arya stared at everyone present in the living room, her gaze rested on Kyle for a brief second before she changed her direction..

“Don’t take another step forward!” Kyle ordered in a firm tone..

The bodyguards took that as their cue to leave, they all dispersed immediately while the maids took Ray back to his room.

Arya gripped the railings tightly, he still dared to talk to her after acting like an as*h*le today..

“It’s way past Ray’s bedtime and you know so well that he won’t sleep for a second without you around, don’t you know this or should I brief you about your responsibilities again?”

Arya rolled her sleeves up and turned around walking towards him, her eyes showed anger as she took each step forward to him..

“You dare say this to my face Kyle Anderson? you think my life is a joke right? I lost my restaurant today all because of your psycho girlfriend! and all you could care about was your son?!”

Kyle inserted both of his hands into his pants pocket and lowered his gaze to her..

“Because my son is my world and I don’t want to see him in tears”

Arya tilted her head to the side, she couldn’t even see a hint of remorse in those bottomless eyes of his..

“Your son means the whole world to you? well my restaurant took years of hard work to achieve, it’s my life and I can’t trade anything for it!”

Arya face palmed herself sniffing back the tears that threatened to fall out..

“You know for once I was anticipating your arrival to help me tackle my problem, I was locked in a cell and was charged for attempted murder by Vanessa” She sniffed back and placed a palm over her mouth..

Only she knew how broken she was on the inside.

“I waited for you to show up but a total starnger who I haven’t met before helped me while my so called husband did nothing!”

Kyle raised his hand “That’s enough! you’ve said enough! I hope you aren’t expecting me to apologize to you, I never liked you from the beginning and I never will! don’t expect me to fulfill duties like a husband would do to you, you’re only Ray’s mother and nothing more!”

Arya nodded her head in understanding “And I won’t forget it Mr Kyle Anderson! thank Goodness the almighty sent a good soul to help me out, maybe in the future I won’t have to look up to a bitter man like yourself!”

She turned around and walked back to her room..

Kyle remained transfixed on the spot, he stared at the spot she stood a while ago and couldn’t help but recall everything she said..

Vanessa got up from her bed when she heard her door bell ringing..

Fear gripped her whole being, she checked the time and was even more scared..

She came down gently from her bed and wore her slippers and made her way out of the room..

“Who could it be so late at night?”

One of her maids hurriedly walked to the door and unlocked it..

She squinted her eyes a bit and a tall figure stepped into the living room..

Her eyes widened in surprise and excitement..

“You? it’s so late Kyle, I can’t believe this!”

Kyle walked in light steps till he got to where she was rooted to the ground..

“I’ll ask you only one question Vanessa and you must provide a quick answer to it”

Vanessa felt her heart leaped out of her chest, she hoped it wasn’t about the chaos she caused today at Arya’s restaurant..

“Hmm.. o.. okay”

“You are the one responsible for Arya’s delight downfall yes or no?”

“Kyle I…

“Yes or no! answer the f*cking question!” Kyle yelled hitting the wall above her head..

Vanessa’s lips quivered “yes, I did it but it’s not entirely my fault, it’s because I…

“Do you have any idea of what you’ve done? you know how well my son is attached to that lady and whenever she’s hurt, she ignores Ray all day and I have to bear seeing my son in tears!”

He grabbed her jaw “And you know how much I hate seeing Ray in tears don’t you?! you will get a response tomorrow Vanessa!”

Having said that he turned around and left her house..This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Vanessa fell on her knees sobbing “I did that for you Kyle! I love you why don’t you see that?!”

Arya woke up to the sounds of notifications popping on her phone followed by calls from Chloe..

She pried open her eyes slowly which were red due to crying in her sleep..

She reached for her phone and raised it to her ear “What is it Chloe? you know I’m in a bad mood”

“Go on social media and see for yourself!”

Arya had a small frown on her phone when the call went dead..

She yawned lazily scrolling down on her phone until a notification popped up which made her jaw dropped in shock..

“No way” she uttered in disbelief..
