One Night With The Billionaire

Chase saw Mrs Black glared at him in fury and resentment. He expected it to be so. He didn’t mean to disrespect her this way by getting married to her daughter without her consent.

But the decision came so quickly and abruptly. He took advantage of her rejection by her family to tell the world that he loves her and intends to spend the rest of his life with her.

Mrs Pricillia hates him very much now and he knows it. But he’s her son in-law now. He would make things right between them and get the daughter and mother reconciled together.

He owns the Black that debt. He swallowed hard and avoided Mrs Pricillia’s gaze. His hand holding firmly to his wife, giving her that reassurance that he’s there, by her side.

Rosalinda closed her eyes and her tears dropped. Chase noticed that she’s sobbing, turned and glanced at her briefly before turning to Mrs Black.

“Please Mrs Black, I know you have a lot to say to my wife right now. But can you save it for another day? This is our day, and we deserve to be happy…” Chase was soliciting when Pricillia snapped at him.

“Spare me the trash, you lying bastard. Now listen to me, I do not recognise you as my son in-law. And I can not remember giving my daughter’s hand in marriage to any man let alone a man-whore like you.

So don’t tell me when to talk to my daughter and when I shouldn’t. You stay away from my family and that includes my daughter, Chase Hudson!” She yelled and that attracted the journalists.

Rosalinda shivered in fear. Her eyes had now gone reddened. Why is her mom creating a scene? She saw a crowd gathering already.

“You are Rosalinda Black and you dare to hurt your family by getting married to this swine? Are you crazy or something?…” Pricillia Black bellowed.

She doesn’t give a damn about the crowd now gathered nor the journalists who might be interested in a new story to publish. This is her daughter and that’s all that matters to her at the moment.

“She is not Rosalinda Black anymore. She became Rosalinda Hudson a few minutes ago. And I want you to be careful when you address my wife” Chase corrected, he was losing his patience already.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

The chauffeur held the door for them to get in but Rosalinda was not interested in getting in just yet.

“She’s my daughter and I will call her…” Pricillia bellowed but Chase suddenly interrupted her.

“She’s my wife now and I request that you respect her. She’s Chase Hudson’s wife ma’am. And I want you to know that henceforth, Rosalinda’s protection is my responsibility.

If anyone tries to hurt her emotionally or psychologically, that person will have me to contend with, because I will fight and I don’t mind if that person is you, Mrs Black” Chase Hudson warned.

“I hate you Chase Hudson! I detest you with every fibre in me” Mike snorted. How dare this pumpkin threaten his mother? How dare he?

“I don’t care about that, Mike Black. That’s your business. Your hatred doesn’t stick to me like a gum nor does it appear on my skin as a paint.

It is in you and eating you up. Gosh! That’s your bloody business. But I am warning you to stay away from hurting my wife or interfering in our marriage!” Chase thundered.

“Chase” Rosalinda called and couldn’t say anything else. This is getting serious. She doesn’t want a scandal about her husband and her family. They must leave now.

“I’m sorry honey but I can’t stand it when your family is like this” Chase responded.

“Get into the car Chase and take your beautiful wife along” Jace’s voice was heard from behind.

His words seemed to command respect and there was silence everywhere. Eyes turned to glance in his direction and the poker faced Jace Hudson kept his gaze on his brother.

Simply, Chase slid into the car and Rosalinda followed. The crowd dissipated and Jace walked with arrogance towards his car amidst his bodyguards with fingers intertwined with Arianna.

Chase glanced at Rosalinda, the excitement he saw in her when they stepped out of the registry was gone. She was sad and he knew her family had robbed her of that excitement.

“We’ll spend the night in the hotel and early tomorrow we travel around the world for our honeymoon” Chase informed. But Rosalinda didn’t respond, her mind was clouded.

Chase glanced at her again, and sighed softly. This is complicated.

“… oh my goodness, Chase looked cuter than I’ve ever seen. I’m so happy he finally got what his heart yearned for…” Arianna was blabbing on but Jace was quiet.

After a while, she turned to glance at him briefly and saw him closed his eyes calmly. She tucked at him and he gently opened those closed eyes.

“You didn’t say anything to what I’ve been saying? Aren’t you happy with Chase’s wedding?” Arianna asked.

“I am happy for Chase. But I feel I should have moved farther than where I am now…” Jace responded and trailed off. He would have been a married man and maybe expecting a baby with her.

But everything is ruined because of her selfish ambition and she felt so happy to talk about someone else’s union. Isn’t that being hypocritical?

Arianna bubbles bursted in guilt. She sighed softly and glanced at her fingers, fiddling with it. Jace still felt hurt about the past.

“Pull over and excuse us, please” Arianna instructed the chauffeur. Jace didn’t object to her nor frown. When the chauffeur glanced from the centre mirror and saw the boss’ indifferent attitude, he pulled over by the road and stepped out.

Arianna turned to glance at Jace and took his hands “I’m sorry Jace. I know you are hurt by what I did in the past. I’m sorry…” she pleaded.

Jace nodded and closed his eyes again. Arianna sighed. Has he really let it go? They’ve talked about this before, she didn’t expect that Jace might still be feeling hurt when he remembers.

“Jace, I’m ready for us to be married. Should I pick a date?” Arianna asked. If getting married will bury the old hatchet, she wants to get married immediately and right there if possible.

“No,” Jace responded simply.

Arianna sighed helplessly. “Okay, what do you want from me? I am ready to be married now and you said no. There isn’t anything I can do now to appease you.

For having a baby, we would just wait and hope our time together will yield a baby. I cannot control that but I can decide on the marriage…” Arianna persuaded.

Rather than Jace should say something, he changed the subject of discussion entirely when he said “We’re going for lunch with my parents”

Arianna swallowed hard. She can’t make it, she will be having lunch with Ethan Rumero. “I should have told you earlier, I will be meeting someone for lunch today” she informed.

Jace snapped his eyes open and turned to stare at her. He didn’t say anything but Arianna knows that he wants to know the details about her lunch.

“Ethan pleaded to have some time to talk and I gave him lunch time…” Arianna explained. The last time she saw Ethan, Jace almost broke up with her.

“If I remember correctly, Ethan Rumero was your ex right?” Jace asked, his tone slightly different from normal.

Arianna nodded and explained “We’ll be meeting at the Samson and Delilah by noon”

Jace went silent again:
