One Night With The Billionaire

Arianna turned and glanced at Jace. This man is so unbelievable. All she wanted at the moment was just to leave his office and disappear. She can’t stand him anymore.

“Tell me everything about yourself?” Jace demanded, gazing at her with contempt.

“My name is Arianna Jason…” she began and Jace Hudson interrupted her.

“Are you married?” Jace asked.

“No” Arianna answered.

“Have a fiance?” Jace probed further.

“No” Arianna answered. Where the hell is he heading to with his questions.

“Boyfriend” Another question from Jace.

“No,” Arianna answered and sighed softly. This man is impossible. His words and actions are absurd.

Jace Hudson chuckled wickedly with irritation. He glared at Arianna and hissed between gritted teeth. “As expected of a night worker.

You are a professional prostitute, right? That’s the reason you couldn’t be with any man. You probably can’t stay true and faithful to any man” Jace Hudson grinned.

“I am not such a woman. That night was a mistake” Arianna defended. She doesn’t know how she’s going to explain her innocence after that night. Why on earth did she have to encounter such a man?

“Why were you refusing sex a while ago? Don’t you want to have my dick deep inside you after four years? You have forgotten what it’s like to be fucked by me, right?” Jace taunted and Arianna could feel her temper getting to its bottle neck.

“Think whatever you want. I don’t care and I won’t try to defend myself anymore. You have no right whatsoever to question my private life…”Arianna said when Jace took a few strides and grabbed her by the throat.

He was furious and he seemed to be exerting too much force on her neck “how dare you raise your voice at me? Do you want to die? Do you know who you are standing before?” He thundered.

Arianna was choking, she was struggling for air. Her mouth was open and she was gasping for air but the air couldn’t get through to her lungs, Jace was choking her airway.

Her eyes were popping out red and she felt her life was going out of her. She was getting weaker, unable to hold on, she closed her eyes, she was dying when Jace suddenly let her go and yanked her off violently.

Arianna fell on the floor before him, right at his feet, she was panting, breathing heavily and her body covered in sweat. She raised her head and glanced at Jace, he towered over her, gazing at her with a killing intent.

“The next time you forget your place, I won’t spare you?” He threatened. Arianna was coughing, holding her chest and her tears ran down her cheeks.

“Get the fuck out of here!” He ordered and Arianna struggled back on her feet and staggered out of his office. She went straight to the washroom and sobbed.

He is mean. He has no bit of humanity in him. How can he treat a woman like this? Simply because she was the woman he had sex with four years ago.

Arianna sobbed more and washed her face. She glanced back at herself in the mirror and saw the part of her neck that he grabbed was reddish. His fingerprints were marked there.

Arianna made her decision there. If she was going to live a good life henceforth, she has to leave the Hudson’s holding and also protect Eli.

She went back to her desk and wrote her resignation. She got her few items into her bag and submitted her resignation letter to Mr Ryan.

When he got it, he glanced at it “you resigned?” He asked, surprised but grinned evilly. Before Arianna could answer he continued “I told you, you won’t have good days here, except you agree to my advances.

Here is it, I haven’t even begun with you and you already resigned. That’s what happens to ‘hard to get’ Women like you” Mr Ryan was saying when Arianna walked out on him.

She got to the elevator and saw Mr Eduardo, Jace Hudson’s Personal assistant. She’d met him as often as she had crossed paths with Jace Hudson. “Hello” she said and wanted to walk past him into the elevator.

“Do you think resigning is the best option now?” He asked, his hands in his pants pocket and he stared at Arianna. The latter paused and stared at him.

“Mr Jace Hudson is not just anyone in this City. At his own time, he would fire you. But until then, I won’t advise that you leave on your own accord. If you do, you will never get a job in Z-City ever again” he declared and gave a slight nod.

Arianna stared at him helplessly. He’s right. Jace Hudson was capable of doing that to her. And if he does, how can she survive with her son, how will Eli go to school?

She nodded and went back. She got back to Mr Ryan and said “Sorry I want to withdraw my resignation. Can I have it back?”

“You think you can do whatever you like here, huh? This is the largest organisation in Z-City, this is Hudson holding and not some random company” Mr Ryan was furious.

“Of course I know this is Hudson’s holding, you don’t have to remind me. Just return the resignation letter” Arianna was feeling irritated already.

“No. You have resigned and that’s final” Mr Ryan declared authoritatively. Arianna just walked past him and went back to sit behind her desk.

Mr Ryan was furious and went to stamped on Arianna’s desk “you are already out of the Hudson’s holding. You have no right to sit there. You have resigned already and that resignation remains valid. Now get the hell out of this place” Mr Ryan thundered.

The other employees have now crowded around Ryan and the quietly sitting Arianna.

“Are you now the one to determine who stays or leaves the Hudson’s holding?” A voice came from behind.

Mr Ryan turned and saw Mr Eduardo, Jace P. A. He swallowed hard and tried to justify himself “this woman here already resigned and a few minutes later she returned and claimed to want to withdraw her resignation” he explained hurriedly. He doesn’t want to lose face before Arianna and the other employees.

“And so, what’s the big deal? After all, the CEO hasn’t received the resignation. What’s the hassle here?” Mr Eduardo asked flippantly as if it’s not a big deal like Ryan painted it to be.

Mr Ryan’s bubbles bursted. He looked embarrassed and lost face completely. He simply placed the resignation letter before Arianna and turned to leave.

“The CEO has promoted Miss Arianna Jason to the position of the employment officer and you Ryan has been demoted to an ordinary employee. This is the exchange of office” Mr Eduardo declared.

Mr Ryan snapped his head and glared at Eduardo and then at Arianna. His face flushed with shame. Arianna taking his position and he was demoted to take her place? What an insult?

“You can resign if you’re not okay with it” another voice came from the extreme end. Everyone turned and saw Chase Hudson, standing with his hands in his pants pocket and resting his side against the wall.

“Second Master” Eduardo chimed and bowed slightly before him. All the employees dispersed and returned to their seats. Mr Ryan took his belongings and came over to Arianna’s desk and the latter stood up.

“There is work still ongoing, make sure you complete them. And make sure you report early tomorrow morning to my office and give a detailed briefing of your work to me” Arianna declared and went over to sit in Ryan’s office.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Ryan’s office was demarcated with a glass wall. They all could see each other but the transparent wall separating them was the difference.

As soon as Arianna got into her new office and settled in, she saw a tall figure walk in.
