One Night With The Billionaire

They all exchanged glances and Jace stood up from where he was seated and walked closer to Richard, “what do you mean Richard?”

Rather than answer Jace Hudson, Richard’s bottled temper flared up and he hit Jace badly in his belly. The latter staggered backwards and Richard hit him badly again on his face.

Chase got furious and stood up, hitting Richard back in his belly, it was his turn to stagger backwards. Richard spat out blood and Jace’s lips were bleeding as he also spat out blood.

Genesis quickly came to the middle and held Richard. He was the one who started the fight and she needs to hold him first. But what surprised her was that Jace didn’t fight back.

Perhaps Richard would have kept dishing his blows if Chase hadn’t stood up in his brother’s defence. The two men glared at each other, both spitting out blood.

“Bastard, you are the reason why Arianna is in there. We can’t say for sure if she would make it or not. And you dare to show your inhumane face here” Richard seethed.

“Richard, I haven’t known you with this temperament since years of our friendship. What is wrong with you? It wasn’t Jace that shot Arianna. How can you talk to your boss like that and even hit him?

No matter what happened, we both are still your boss. You can’t disrespect us like that, especially Jace, the CEO…” Chase was saying when Richard interrupted him.

“Don’t let me hate you, in place of your stupid CEO brother. Who the fuck do you think you are talking to, Chase? Do I look like I can go cringing before you and kiss your feet because you are a Hudson?

I am a medical doctor and an intelligent one at that. If I turn my back here at this moment I will get hired in the next hour. So don’t you dare talk to me like that” he bellowed and fixed his gaze on Jace.

“You are wealthy, handsome and have a position but you are the poorest man I have ever known. You have no iota of love in that heart of yours. I hate you Jace Hudson.

And I don’t think I will tolerate this inhumane behaviour of yours towards my friend and still work here as a doctor. I’m resigning the moment Arianna regains consciousness and I’m taking her away from here” Richard declared.

Jace remained expressionless and went back to sit down. Chase glared at Richard, the both men were furious but Jace who was the reason for the cross between the two men was calm and his composure made Genesis regret why she said those words to him.

“Richard, it’s enough. You are creating a scene” Genesis cautioned. She dragged him forcefully to sit down and took a tissue from her handbag, cleaning his lips.

The little crowd that had gathered went away quietly. No one among them can explain why the CEO was seated and the loving doctor Richard was so furious.

Anyways, the less they get concerned about other people’s business, the better it would be.

Jace turned and glanced at Richard and the latter turned and glanced back at him with a hostile gaze. He saw Genesis cleaned the blood off his lips and felt what it’s like to have Arianna do the same to him.

Richard and Genesis love Arianna. He also know they were the ones who saved her life the last time she attempted suicide.

But he didn’t mean any harm to her. He didn’t know the word watch your back that the scoundrel sent to him meant was going to happen that day and at the hotel.

Arianna might have come over to meet with her friends. How was he supposed to know about the attack and that Arianna was going to save him? Arianna saved his life, she did.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

If he was shot, he wouldn’t have made it. He definitely was going to die from it. The shooters had targeted his heart and the other his head. He wouldn’t have spent another ten minutes alive if the bullets hit it’s target.

Arianna was lucky to have good friends. Richard and Genesis were worth more than ten close acquaintances to her. They are right in accusing him, they are absolutely right.

Jace looked away and Chase sighed audibly. Jace was wrong in the way he treated Arianna in the past. But this particular incident is not his doing at all.

Richard looked away from Jace when he saw the latter did. He hissed between gritted teeth but was still fuming in rage. Genesis circled her hand around his biceps and was taping him gently to calm him down.

Suddenly Richard’s phone chirped. He saw it was the head surgeon who was calling. He glanced at the theatre light that was still on and he answered.

“Doctor” Richard said, his eyes still fixed on the theatre light. If the light was still on, that means Arianna was still alive and was being operated on.

But Richard sprang up on his feet and his complexion turned ashen. Just then, the theatre light went off.

“What, she’s dead?” Richard exclaimed.
