One Night With The Billionaire

Chapter 37: Jace’s Agitation



The news of the attack was being transmitted on social media. The CCTV footage of the whole scenario was being played. Everyone saw how Arianna shoved Jace aside and got shot instead.

Fear gripped Chase and immediately called his brother. He was on call. But as soon as Jace was through, he called Chase back.

“Chase, it’s Arianna. She got shot. I’m afraid, I don’t want anything bad to happen to her. I will never forgive myself if anything happens to Arianna because of me. She’s being taken to the hospital.

I am heading towards the hospital now. Please meet me there. I would have been dead, Chase. But Arianna saved my life and risked her own life instead…” Jace was shivering.

When he hung up, he removed his blood drained suit leaving only the shirt on. Jace’s shirt was drenched in sweat. Despite the chilling air in the car, Jace’s temple was covered with beads of sweat.

Richard called Genesis and she answered “How’s Arianna now, I hope she’s still breathing?” Genesis asked and Richard said he can’t say exactly what Arianna’s condition is.

“Richard, please do your best. Save Arianna’s life” Genesis pleaded and hung up. She started sobbing profusely in the car, hugging herself.

Jace glanced at her and his emotions gushed out for guilt. Arianna is in such a situation because of him.

By the time Genesis and Jace arrived at the hospital, Arianna was already in the theatre. The red light was on and she stood outside, sobbing.

“Arianna is in that theatre because of you, Jace Hudson. You’ve been after her life. If she dies, you will never know peace” she seethed.

Jace didn’t respond. He waited. His bodyguards came to him and talked in hushed voices. He nodded and said “Keep him safe in the basement”

That fellow will feel his wrath. One of the men had been shot and taken away by the police. But this one, that was apprehended by his men, would feel his wrath and would be the torch to lighten his path to his enemies.

Chase arrived and went to Jace. He hugged his brother and saw his red worried eyes. Jace was feeling hurt within and from the way he stood, he might be blaming himself.

“Arianna is in there, because of me, Chase” Jace stuttered. He hugged his brother longer than expected. But he was damn scared that nothing should happen to Arianna.

“No, it wasn’t because of you. It’s a coincidence that she happened to be in the hotel at the time when the bandits came after you. But you need to calm down, she will be fine” Chase calmed his brother.

“Don’t try to polish this whole scenario that happened. Your brother Jace is the reason why my Aria is in that theatre right this moment. He should be blamed if anything happens to his son’s mother.

You’ve always wanted to own Eli, right? You got an order and restrained her. You took her son away without a notification nor did you seek her consent before doing that.

You think because you are Eli’s father and the almighty Billionaire dude and the CEO of Hudson’s holding, Everyone else is filth, even the woman who carried your seed in her belly and let it develop into a son.

You trampled upon her right and cheated her because you are powerful. Besides drilling your dick into her and planting your seed in her belly, what other responsibilities made you qualified to be Eli’s father, huh, tell me?” Genesis bellowed.

“Why are you saying this, Huhhh…”Chase trailed off, not knowing her name. She should be worried about Arianna’s present state rather than finding fault and blaming Jace.

“Let her be. She’s right” Jace declared in a calm, quiet tone. There was silence and Chase glared at his brother. This is Jace’s first and true Personality. He reminds him of how he used to be.

The door opened and a nurse stepped out accompanied by Richard. He was dressed in theatre attire and his nose masked. He didn’t wait, he was walking while Genesis caught up with him.

Genesis walked closer and Jace did the same. He wasn’t looking like the CEO of the hospital at all. At that point, what he’s concerned about is Arianna’s condition.

“Richard, Arianna” Genesis said. She couldn’t find more words to describe her question properly. Words suddenly got stuck in her throat.

“Doctor Richard, what is Arianna’s condition now?” Jace asked and the latter completely ignored him. He concentrated on Genesis, “she needs pints of blood before the surgery can commence properly”.

“Damn it,” Chase cursed.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Oops, what do we do now?” Genesis asked and Richard said “We have the same blood type, I will donate mine now” he declared and disappeared into the bleeding room.

In less than 40 minutes, they saw a nurse returning to the theatre holding a closed bag. They knew that’s the blood. Genesis looked past her and didn’t see Richard.

She called and he answered. He said he was coming over to join them soon. And true to his words, Richard walked out but his eyes were spitting fire.

“Aren’t you going in again?” Genesis asked, going over and hugging Richard by his waist. “I chose not, Gene. I can’t withstand the sight of Arianna dying”
