One Night With The Billionaire

“My Mom is…” Arianna was saying when Richard arrived. “Sorry buddies,” he said and kissed Genesis’ chin. A kiss of apology.

“Chase Hudson” Senator Adrian Delmark welcomed him. Chase drew closer and congratulated the Senator and his wife.

He planted a featherlight kiss on Arianna’s and Gene’s temple before saying hello to the men.

The dinner was sumptuous. On the way home, Arianna was chiming excitedly. She’s glad she finally got to meet the Senator. He was exactly as Genesis described him and much more friendly.

She would visit him more often if Jace would accompany her. She touched Jace’s hand and the latter glanced at her and smiled.

“Senator Adrian Delmark asked if we’ve met before? I feel the same way too but I cannot tell where I knew him” Arianna explained.

“Maybe it’s on social media. You had no idea how popular you became when you saved my life that day. He might have seen your pictures and felt he’s known you before” Jace Hudson replied casually.

But he must investigate her. Who is her father? There’s something in Senator Delmark’s face when his wife Arianna who her mom was.

Besides, he just realised that Arianna and the Senator look alike. He is a man and keeps a beard, but despite that, seeing Arianna, he could still deduce the resemblance between them.

Can he really be her father?

Adrian Delmark was restless. He had put up his entire strength to appear alright before the guest. But before his wife and Derick, he is a broken man.

He must find his daughter. Wherever she is. As long as she’s alive, he must find her. He couldn’t rest. He left the bedroom and went to the guest room. He needed to talk with Derick.

He stood at the door and called Derick. The latter opened the door to let his brother in. Adrian sat on the sofa and bent his head, a confused man.

“Starting from tomorrow, I will begin to search for your daughter. I will help you find her” Derick assured.

Adrian Delmark nodded. He sniffled “Will she forgive me? It’s been over two decades and I haven’t set my eyes on my daughter. How can I bear the guilt, Derick?” He said.

From the moment he cummed into Susan, he didn’t know anything else. Until that day, Derick came and told him he has a daughter with Susan. This is too sudden and unimaginable.

Susan has no right to keep her existence from him. Why would she do that, did she hate him that much, does she despise him so much or is it simply because he was married and doesn’t want him to have issues with Jane?NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

It wouldn’t have been an issue because he already told Jane about it. She would understand that he has a daughter outside wedlock.

“It’s not your fault. You didn’t know about her. She shouldn’t blame you for being irresponsible towards her” Derick coaxed.

“But you know that I am really irresponsible? I am a loser who couldn’t even know about my daughter’s existence for over twenty years, Derick. I am the most stupid father on earth…” Adrian Delmark blamed himself.

“You are not Adrian. Just stop it already, stop blaming yourself. When we find her, we will explain things to her. And I hope she will forgive you.

The only thing I can predict is if she knows that you left her mother because of her friend. You broke up with her and chose her friend instead. I can’t assure you if she would accept Jane and Richard as a part of her life” Derick explained with a shrug.

Adrian Delmark swallowed hard, overwhelmed by the situation at hand. “I didn’t have anything with Susan when I left her. She loves me and I wasn’t in love with her. We were best referred to as mere friends.

But when I met Jane, I understood what love is. I knew what I felt for Susan was mere friendship. What I felt for Jane was love, a deep emotion that I cannot explain.

I let her know I can’t offer her anything beyond friendship. The one I truly love was Jane. I told her, I didn’t lie to her and when I confessed my love for Jane, she too was already in love with me.

But what I knew I did very wrong was making love to her after I was married to Jane. We already had Richard at the time. But I slept with her and completely turned my back on her” Adrian explained.

Derick was quiet. The kind of love that Susan had for Adrian, he cannot explain it. He hasn’t seen any woman have that kind of feeling for him back then.

“She didn’t force me but asked me for it. I could just say no and walk away. But I decided to let her experience the pleasure of being taken by me. I shouldn’t have, but I did” Adrian confessed.

There was a long quietness that followed Adrian’s last sentence. By this time, Adrian wiped his tears off. He sighed softly and sniffled.

“Can you take me to her graveyard tomorrow?” Derick asked. He wants to ask that Susan forgive him. He would have to bring his niece to her father. He would break his promise to her.

“I don’t know where she was buried,” Adrian replied. Another weight of guilt descended on him again. This is too much for him to bear.

“But you were in Z-City when she died?” Derick asked. Hasn’t Adrian and Jane ever visited Susan at her tomb?

Adrian nodded. “We were in Z-City but Jane and I didn’t attend her funeral,” Adrian confessed.

Derick was taken aback. Adrian didn’t attend Susan’s funeral? He and Jane couldn’t give her their last respect as friends?

“You didn’t do that?” Derick asked.

Adrian returned to the bedroom. He saw Jane sleeping peacefully and simply climbed into the bed and covered himself with a quilt.

Next morning, Arianna woke up in excitement. She was glad about the precious evening. She didn’t see Jace in the room as usual.

She never wakes up to find him in bed. He would leave her and go to his study every night and would not be there when she wakes up. He couldn’t even cuddle her.

She climbed out of bed and went to take a bath. When she returned, Jace was done dressing up. They will be going to the office soon.

“Good morning, my love” Jace chimed, walking over and kissing her lips. She looked beautiful with her luminous skin. “Good morning, darling,” Arianna said.

Arianna was still dressing when Jace said “I will be leaving early today. I have a zoom meeting with the foreign investors”

Arianna nodded and kissed his chin. His masculine fragrance made her swallow hard. Whenever she inhaled his body scent, it made her horny. Jace has that charm that could make a woman wet just coming close to him.

And the irony of it is that he probably is not the type of man that likes to take women. He hasn’t done with her since the last time and doesn’t show signs of someone interested.

He could kiss and then walk away. Besides that, he doesn’t have such time. But his brother Chase is the opposite of him. Two brothers with different desires. What the heck!

Richard came downstairs for dinner. He didn’t see his dad. His Mom was seated looking gloomy. She isn’t showing any appearance of someone who is happy.

“Mom, are you alright?” Richard asked. He glanced at her dish, she hadn’t taken a bite from the breakfast. The table was set but she looked lost and distant from it.

“Nothing is alright Richard. Nothing is fine in this house besides you” Jane declared.
