Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

Bianca can be seen in her room. She looked like a mad woman. Her hair was disheveled due to the constant pulling she had subjected it to. She had mascara on her face as she had been crying since.

She kept staring at her phone with anger burning in her. What she had hoped and prayed to happen when she uploaded that video a day ago didn’t happen. The video didn’t stay long in the internet before it got deleted.

She was already frustrated now as she wasn’t even sure about the next course of action that she was going to take. The bitch was literally untouchable and every thing that she and Lucas have done to bring her down always backfired.

Today, she lost a lot of followers as a rumor spread about her sleeping with different boys all for money. There was no evidence to back up that rumor but as you all know, people don’t really care about that.

People just enjoy the drama it brings as long as it isn’t affecting them. She has been getting a lot of mean messages and even death threats from people online that she didn’t even know existed.

She doesn’t know how the rumors started but one thing that she was so sure of was that Ariel is the one that was behind everything. There’s no one else that hated her as much as Ariel did.

She was sure Ariel made such a rumor so she could divert the public’s attention from herself. As of now, she had no one to talk to, no one to console her for all that she has been passing through.

Her father traveled out for a business trip outside the country and wouldn’t be back until after two days while the other person that she could have relied on was in the hospital.

She had no one with her so all she could do right now was resolve to breaking things in her room to alleviate her anger. The maids around made sure to stay away from her room even though they could hear things shattering.

They know better than to disturb her at a time like this. Breaking the things in her room did little to alleviate the anger that Bianca was feeling but she still did it anyway. It helped to take her mind off all of the things that had been happening.

She was still doing what she was doing when she heard her door being pushed open. She paused in anger as the thought of one of the maids around coming to ruin her moment increased her fury.

“It really seems like someone wants to be my scape goat today. Well, good for me.” She said as she picked up one of her heels that was laying idly on the floor.

She turned and was about to throw it at whoever it was when she saw the person she never expected to be here at this time.

“Dad!!” She called happily as she threw away the shoe and ran to hug him affectionately.

“How’s my little princess doing??” He asked as he returned the hug.

“I’m good as always. Ahhh… I missed you so much.” She muttered as she tightened the hug.

“I missed you too baby.”

“But why are you here now?? You aren’t supposed to be back in the country for another two days.” She asked as she pulled away from the hug.

“Well, I figured out you’d be in need of emotional support right now after everything that has been going on but I guess I am late.” He muttered as his eyes roamed around her room.

“It’s fine dad. I’m okay now that you’re here with me.” Bianca said with a sweet smile on her face.

“Same here princess. You don’t know the pain I had within me when I read those malicious rumors about you. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to sue whoever posted that nonsense on the internet.”

“It doesn’t really matter dad. Everyone have read it already and they all believe it.”

“But it isn’t the truth. I know my princess woukd never stoop so low.”

“Well, others don’t think that way and I don’t really care either. All is well as long as you believe me.” Bianca said.

“I know that but this can ruin your reputation. It can ruin everything I have planned out for you.”

“What are you saying dad?” Bianca asked as she stared at her father in confusion.

“Well, I wanted to keep this away from you till you’re ready but it seems like I should tell you now so you wouldn’t be caught unawares.” He answered. Bianca noticed how he looked really nervous and tensed up as he spoke and that only increased her curiosity.

“What’s making you talk like this? Have you decided to remarry?”

“What?? No way.”

“Or did you find out that you have a son from another woman?” Bianca asked again.

“That’s really far from what I’m trying to tell you.” He answered.

“So say it then. The curiosity is really killing me.” Bianca said impatiently.

“Well, I hope you won’t get angry with me…”

“Why would I be angry with you? You are my father.” Bianca said as she motioned for him to continue.

“Alright then..” The man heaved a little before he continued.

“I’ve decided it’s high time for you to leave your little boyfriend.”

“Wait.. what.. why??” Bianca asked in shock.

“I’ve set you up for marriage with a more suitable patner.” He answered.

“What?!?!?”

************************************

I and Adrian were seated in very comfortable silence in the car as we were headed to the my house for the little get together that had been planned earlier.

We had decided to host it in my family’s mansion as grandma had already started making preparations long before Adrian told me about his family’s get together.

After being on the road for some time, I could finally see the huge gates of our mansion. I felt happiness bubbling in me as the car drove through the gate.

It has been a really long time since I came here so I felt really happy to be able to visit my family again. As expected, I saw them outside, waiting for our arrival.

The car stopped and we climbed out of it. It felt so good to be in this very familiar surroundings. I had almost forgotten how beautiful amd simple it looked, compared to Adrian’s mansion.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“Mom.. dad..” I called as I ran to hug my parents.

Even though I left here while holding grudges against them, seeing them brought back mixed feelings within me. I had missed them so much.

After greeting me, they turned away and greeted Adrian too. They kept on calling him young master, probably because of how affluent his family is. Grandma wasn’t waiting outside with them.

“Ariel.” I heard and turned only to see Hillary walking towards me.

“Hillary.” I called back happily as I ran to hug him. He chuckled and returned the hug more affectionately.

After hugging for sometime, I pulled away like I had suddenly recalled something.

“What is it Ariel?” Hillary asked in confusion as the way I had pulled out of the hug was really confusing.

“I want you to meet someone Hillary.” I said as I pulled Hillary along with me to where Adrian and my parents were standing.

“Hillary, meet my husband Adrian.. and Adrian this is my brother, Hillary. The same one you saw with me at the Cafe that day.”
