Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

Arianna called a taxi to the airport. She remembered the appointment with Charles.

He should wait for her at the airport at half-past ten.

She thought she should shed tears, but she didn’t.

She had made the most secular choice, and she thought there wouldn’t be any more surprises in her life. She once really imagined the scene that, decades later, she met Travis in the bustling streets, their hair both white and their wrinkles many. They smiled at each other like a pair of old friends. And she would not admit that she would surely be able to recognize him. Such a scene would be real, just imagine now.

When she arrived at the airport, it was almost midnight. She didn’t expect Charles was really waiting for her there. He opened the window and was smoking.

“I am late, sorry,” Arianna said.

“I thought you won’t show up again.”

“I never planned to go with him. I just went to say goodbye.” Arianna muttered.

Charles drove the car very fast, while Arianna patted her chest with one hand and held her forehead with another. She had been uncomfortable since she came out of the hospital.

“Are you sick?”

“It may be a little motion sickness. I’ll be fine soon.”

Charles slowed down and rolled down the cab window.

A cold wind blew in, and Arianna choked when she was trying to take a deep breath. She felt like her internal organs would be spat out for a second.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Charles stopped the car on the side of the road and handed her a tissue.

Arianna said, “I’m fine, really. Just motion sickness.”

Then some sharp pain came into her throat, and her stomach was pounding. Arianna coughed for a while, opened the car door, and covered her mouth with the tissue.

Charles took away the tissue in her hands and handed a clean tissue back to her while patting her back.

His movement suddenly froze when he saw the used tissue was covered in blood.

The new tissue in Arianna’s hands was red, too.

That night was spent in a mess. Charles drove Arianna to the hospital immediately. Charles was indeed a man of power. He called and sent for the cardiopulmonary director of the state’s No1. Hospital at two o’clock in the morning. Blood test fluoroscopy all the way down, the doctor examined Arianna’s throat, esophagus, and all major internal organs. She was really exhausted now.

Even so, the doctor could not tell her sickness. Except for her body’s weak condition, all indicators were normal. In the end, the doctor could only give her a shot to let her fall asleep.

Arianna woke up in the afternoon the next day. Charles was with her, his eyes looking like a panda.

She didn’t sleep well, as she dreamed of a lot of people and things. She gently pushed aside the water that Charles handed her and asked slowly, “Is his death related to you?”

That question buried their wedding.

Charles was extremely disappointed that his generosity was only welcomed by her doubts and judgment. When he sent her to the airport, he used up all of his restraint and tolerance. He even thought he would have blessed them if she really took off with Travis.

“Actually, you have never trusted me, never even liked me. If my image is like that in your heart, why are you willing to marry me? Maybe you just want to find a man to help you forget him, just want to find someone else to make up for the rest of your life.”

“If I really killed him, are you going to put me in jail or take blood revenge for him?”

“But if you really want to do that, you should not have asked me in that way to alert me. You have always been a calm and smart woman, except when Travis is involved.”

“I always thought I could invest and harvest in a relationship, but I have lost my confidence now. I can’t even beat the dead.”

Arianna didn’t make any excuses for his allegations. She said, “I should say sorry to you. And thank you for all you have done for me. You asked me to be your girlfriend, I agreed. And when you asked me to marry you, I agreed too. Obviously, that’s not enough for you, but I cannot do more. But Charles, please understand that you voluntarily said you love me, which I didn’t invite.”

That’s how their relationship came to an end. Fortunately, they had been very low profile, so their break-up didn’t make much noise.

Arianna felt sorry for the man. Like she always believed, Charles treated her well. However, when her innermost feelings of her were dug out to such an extent, she could no longer be with him.

Arianna did not pay attention to the follow-up investigation of Travis’s accident. During that time, she did not even read newspapers or watch television. She did not want to see some news that she was trying to avoid and forget.

When Ryan called to tell her that Travis’s farewell ceremony was held, she was packing her bags and preparing to participate in the self-driving tour initiated by a local forum. It was a motorcade of dozens of cars planning to travel from north to south through thousands of kilometers. She hung up and tried to push some thoughts out of her mind.

She would also suspect that if Travis’s death was really an accident, then he might’ve died because he wanted to come and meet her as scheduled. Travis’s death was somehow related to her, even though she did not want to meet him initially.

Anyway, Arianna did not find her position to attend his farewell ceremony. In what kind of identity? His enemy’s granddaughter, his contract collateral, or just an acquaintance not even close to being a friend? She would have looked absurd showing up at that ceremony.

Arianna wandered outside for a month before she returned home. She had already resigned when she planned to leave this city with Charles. Now the situation has changed. She didn’t want to be commented on or go back to school. She had no ambition for her future. The so-called career was not as tempting as a bottle of perfume to her.

She really didn’t have to go to work anyway. With her family business successfully transformed into a profitable one, her shares in that company from her grandpa, once deemed useless, had now become truly valuable. She had become one of the major shareholders with the right to speak in Sanchez Group.
