The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Kyle turned to Ray with a cold chilly glare, he leaned down a bit to him with furrowed brows..

“What did you just say?!”

Ray suddenly ran behind Naomi and refused to let go, his daddy has changed so much within the last couple of days and it was all because of Charlotte..

“Kyle! you’re making a very big mistake, you’ve decided to turn your back against us by trusting this lady?!”

Kyle pointed to the exit “Get out! this minute!”

Charlotte smiled from ear to ear, she was really proud of herself for causing a rift between them, she touched Kyle’s arm affectionately..

“Relax baby, you remembered what the doctor said right? please don’t stress yourself out too much..”

“Fine! we will leave! but you’ll be the sorry one very soon” Mia added and turned around leaving with her mum..

Naomi’s blue eyes blazed in anger when Charlotte’s hand caressed Kyle’s chest gently..

“I think you must be tired.. let’s get you to bed” She murmured with a flirty grin on her lips..

Naomi took Ray by the hand and walked away from the annoying sight..

Bryan caught up with Chloe who was running out of his reach..

“don’t touch me with your filthy hands!” She lashed out in a harsh tone panting heavily..

He was a bit taken aback by her tone, but he managed to brush it off with a snort..

“I’m not interested in touching you either, I only came to apologize to you for my wrong manners…”

Chloe raised her brows, she didn’t know him much but the little she knew about him was that he’d never apologize for anything no matter if he’s the one at fault..

“Forget it, I wasn’t able to tell you about the discussion I had with my brother, he’s in total disagreement of whatever relationship we share…”

Bryan suddenly reached out to touch her arm but his hand was caught up on air..

His gaze travelled to see the person who would dare touch him and to his surprise, a familiar face came in view..

“Don’t try to lay a finger on her!”

Bryan pulled his hand off Arnold’s hold, he wondered why this dude still thought of him as an enemy, the deed happened months or probably a year ago, why was he still holding onto that?

Arnold averted his gaze to Chloe who was looking at him in shock..

“It’s lunch time.. come on”

Chloe nodded her head and took a step forward to her brother but surprisingly her arm was held back by Bryan..

“We agreed to have lunch together.. do you have a problem with me spending time with my girlfriend?”

Chloe parted her lips to speak but was alerted as soon as her brother sent a punch to Bryan’s face..

“Arnold!”

“She is not your girlfriend! and she never will be! my little sister is not one of those flings you have around got it! she’s different”

After purring his mind out, he walked to his motorbike that was parked at a little distance away from them..

“Chloe get on!”

Chloe hesitated for a while, she looked towards Bryan’s and saw that he was bleeding from his nose..

She reluctantly accepted the helmet from her brother and placed it over her head before sitting behind him on the motorbike..

Naomi paced around the room, a part of her mind wasn’t settled with the fact that Kyle still saw Charlotte as his lover..

Which meant anything can happen between them.. she tapped her forehead in frustration, with the little she knew about Charlotte, she was sure Charlotte would seize an opportunity like this to get herself into this family whether anyone accepted it or not!

She was so lost in her thoughts that she failed to hear Ray calling into her.

“Arya!”

Naomi snapped out of her daze and turned towards him “I asked you not to address me as that for now.. do you want to expose our little secret?”

Ray shook his head slowly, “I called you a few times and you didn’t respond, I know what you’re thinking and I can help you with it”

Naomi raised a brow, what does he know that she was thinking about? she chuckled and bobbled her head for him to go on..

“Okay?”

Ray gestured for her to come down to his height after which he whispered softly into her ear..

“Wow Ray, you really are a genius! come on baby it’s payback time”

***

Charlotte who just leaned in to share a kiss with Kyle furrowed her brows when she heard the knock on the door..

“Ignore it” She whispered biting her lower lips, he inched her face closer to him but was instantly held back by Kyle..

“Wait, something doesn’t feel right here” he murmured staring intently at her..

Charlotte was alarmed, she managed to force a dry laugh out of her throat..

“Don’t think too much.. I’ll get the door”

As soon as the door was opened, she suddenly felt a little frame embracing her..

Her eyes rounded in shock wondering what planet this kid came from, was this the real Ray or did an alien possess his soul?

“I’m sorry, I was mad at you alright? I thought you didn’t like me at all, and yes you were right when you said Arya was a very bad lady”

Charlotte exchanged looks with Kyle who also couldn’t understand what was going on, few minutes ago, he hated her and now?

However, she didn’t want to think much about all these, her son finally acknowledged her and that was all that mattered..

She crotched down to his height and held his cute little face with her palm..

“I’m sorry for being mean to you”

Charlotte engulfed him into a warm hug, she felt a wave of a different type of emotion surging through her body..

“Mummy loves you too Ray..”

She planted a kiss on both sides of his face and turned to Kyle who was all smiles, Ray scrunched his face and wiped his cheeks with the back of his palm..

He ran to his dad who was half lying and sitting on the bed, he saw Charlotte trying to move in next to him..

“Daddy I’m sorry too.. I behaved rudely with you, please forgive me”

Kyle urged for him to come forward but to their surprise, he sat in between them with a wide grin..

“I promise I will be a good kid from now on okay?”

“Okay”

***

Few hours later…

Charlotte was starting to get impatient with Ray getting in the way whenever she tried to come any closer to Kyle..

“Ray aren’t you hungry? go ask Naomi to make something for you”

Ray shook his head with a smile, he was having fun playing with his dad’s hair but here she was trying to chase him out..

“I’m not hungry..”

Charlotte gave up and moved out of the room, she gave up her attempt to get close to him for now..

“Troublesome little kid”

Naomi who passed by Charlotte that minute chuckled when she heard Charlotte’s words reached her ears..

She wondered what Ray pulled off in there to make her sulk like this..Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“Excuse me?”

Naomi stopped on her tracks and turned to the lady who obviously stopped her to cause trouble..

“Yes?”

Charlotte shot the lady in front of her a look, she wasn’t from a wealthy background or anything for her to behave so arrogantly..

“I’ll let what you did few hours ago slide, because of Kyle’s persistence but if you try to disrespect me in that manner ever again.. I’ll..

“Do what?” Naomi asked with raised brows, she knew Charlotte wouldn’t dare fire her because of her ability to keep Ray in check..

Charlotte’s knuckles fisted by her sides, one thing she hated the most in her life was someone disrespecting her..

“What did you just say?!”

Naomi raised her hand to stop Charlotte from speaking..

“Please.. don’t shout! because I’m not one who you can raise your voice at or look down at me.. and if you think you can fire me, the internet is a cruel world to people like you.. that’s just a friendly reminder”

After she was done she left Charlotte alone to fune in anger..

“What?!”

Naomi sat up from the bed the moment she heard what was said at the other end of the phone..

“What do you mean by missing?!”

Chad sighed at the other end, he had to inform her about it sooner or later..

“Listen Arya.. my men are working on this we have a lead and we will update you about our findings alright?”

“Okay” she murmured and threw her phone down on her bed..

How could they keep something as important as this away from her? she had every right to know about it since he was her father..

She walked to her window and pushed it open, the moment she did her eyes caught something..

It was Charlotte and she was fencing with a guard, she placed both hands under her chin looking down at them..

“Nice moves though” she murmured beneath her breath..

She was an aggressive fighter just like her mum, and there was something about her poses that made her frown..

She suddenly recalled the old photo she saw weeks ago at her mum’s house..

“Could it be…
