The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Chloe released her grip on Bryan the moment they stepped out of the building..

Bryan averted his gaze from her with a snort, it’s not like he was interested in staying in there anyway.

“You are unbelievable Bryan! how could you?!”

Bryan inhaled deeply and crossed his arm under his chest..

“I’ll give you twenty minutes to get dressed, we’re meeting my parents today”

Chloe’s jaw dropped in shock at the bomb he just dropped, his parents?

“What?!”

Bryan peeped at his wrist watch and faced her with a bored look..

“You have nineteen minutes left..”

Chloe turned back to the building, she spotted her oldest brother Arnold looking down at them intently from a opened window..

“After what you pulled off this morning.. I’m very sure they’ll ban me from meeting you and thanks to you my days of freedom are over!” She lashed out at him..

Bryan raised a brow and diverted his gaze to Arnold who was undoubtedly trying to figure out what they were speaking about..

“I guess he doesn’t like me at all”

Chloe followed his line of sight and sighed in exasperation, maybe Bryan must have forgotten who her brother was but her brother never did.

“Don’t you recognize him?” Chloe asked which Bryan answered with a shake of his head..

“Two years ago you snatched his girlfriend away from him at the hotel where she works”

Bryan raised a brow, that incident has occured numerous times to him in the last few years that he couldn’t really recall Arnold’s case..

“And he’s also scared of loosing you to me right?” Bryan murmured with a sly smirk..

Chloe breathed out in anger, he had no idea of what he has done and here he was spurting out nonsense, she suddenly had the urge to send an uppercut to his jaw..

“I hate you!” she declared and was about to leave his side, he reached out to her arm and pulled her back to him and leaned forward to her left ear..

Arnold closed the curtain in anger, he knew it! they weren’t just friends and how dare he kiss his sister?! was he doing all these to infuriate him..

Chloe pushed Bryan’s chest when he had nothing to say to her, she turned around and went back into her building..

Arya stroked her dad’s hair slowly, even though his eyes were wide open he still wasn’t able to speak or move his body..

“Do you know what I found out yesterday at mum’s place? I found this old photo”

She brought the photo to his face for him to take a look at it..

“Do you know her? is she a distant relative or perhaps your niece?”

She noticed the discomfort in his eyes the moment he saw the photo, she placed it aside and touched his cheek gently..

“Are you alright dad?” she panicked and just then the door opened, Chad stepped in and increased his pace when he noticed the man gasping for air..

“What happened?” Chad demanded examining him..

Arya moved aside looking over Chad’s shoulder “I only asked him some questions and he started behaving like that”

Chad turned to her when the man relaxed “Arya he has just woken up from coma.. I know you want him back to his feet once more and I assure you that he will.. but it takes time”

Arya nodded in understanding, she took a peek at his face to find his eyes closed, she really needed to find out who the girl in the photo was..

“Okay thanks.. I’ll get going now”

Dennis turned to his wife with a small smile, her guess might be right but she definitely knows nothing about what he was keeping away from her..

“What has she gotten to do with this? I’ll tell you when the time is right as for now just relax and let the men of the family sought things out”

They both averted their gazes from each other when they heard footsteps descending the stairs..

“Martin!” Dennis called out the moment he spotted his son..

Martin walked towards his father rolling up his black shirt’s sleeves..

“Do you need me? I’m on my way out”

Dennis nodded and began walking away from the living room, taking that as a cue Martin followed his dad.

After they entered the study room he watched his dad slump to his armchair in frustration..

“Is everything alright?” Martin asked after a while drawing a seat out for himself..

Dennis sighed and sat up “Kyle is getting married to that lady.. what’s her name again?”

“Arya?”

“Yes! Arya.. this time everyone will witness the wedding, your grandfather is preparing for the grand occasion himself”

Martin raised a brow, he still didn’t get where this was going or what was wrong in the idea of them getting married, infact he was in total support of their marriage..

“So? how does this affect us in anyway?”

Dennis narrowed his gaze at his son who was either daft or pretending to be stupid..

“If she gets married to Kyle then what is the whole point of bringing Charlotte into the picture?!”

Martin rose up to his feet immediately as soon as he heard his dad’s next words suddenly feeling uninterested in the conversation they were having.

“I’m done!”

After saying that he walked out of the study room leaving his dad perplexed about his sudden behavior..

Dennis picked up his phone and raised it to his ear after a while..

“Where is she?”

Ethan stood up as soon as his grandson stepped into the living room, he heard about his recent seizure but couldn’t make it to the hospital..

“I see you’re fine now”

Kyle looked around his ancestral home as if searching for something, it’s been a while he visited..

“Thanks for checking up on me at the hospital” Kyle sarcastically murmured taking a seat on one of the plush sofa’s..

He had enjoyed the comfort of these seats growing up as a child that he even got the replica of it when he bought his own house..

Ethan snorted at his grandson’s words that was obviously sarcastic..

“I had to fix some things given your absent from the company yesterday.. I don’t trust Dennis enough to leave everything in his care”

He had never treated Dennis like an abducted child rather he treated him like a real son but the latter got the wrong impression of him..

Martin would have been a great asset too to the family’s company but he chose to blindly follow his dad’s step..

Or perhaps he was just in between, following his dad but at the same time looking out for the family..

Liam scoffed at his grandfather’s words “He’s your son.. deal with him I don’t want to get my hands dirty again by getting entangled with him”

Ethan sighed and nodded his head “I’ve called for a press conference regarding the issue at hand.. you and Arya will make a public appearance today together to address the situation you both created for yourselves”

Kyle’s hands rested on his temples, he guessed this was the only way out, but Arya never said her thoughts concerning the marriage proposal..

He didn’t want her to feel forced or pressured into getting married to him, he wanted her to do it willingly on her own accord..

“Arya hasn’t given her consent yet.. I don’t want to trap her in all of these”

Ethan was marveled, when did Kyle start asking for other people’s opinion before he acted? that was a new thing..

“I’m very sure she’ll agree to it, I’ve seen the bond between she and Ray.. even though she’s not his birth mother she still loves him so much.. and by the look of things she’s not ready to part yet with either you or Ray”

Ethan murmured for Kyle to raise his head at his grandfather, he doubted it, Arya wouldn’t want to be trapped with him forever, she just broke up with her fiance a month ago or more so..

“She loves Ray a lot and he does too but don’t you see that her life will be ruined once I get married to her? she’ll be miserable and unloved for the rest of her life”

Ethan’s lips slanted into a grin, his grandson was still living in the past that he fails to see the bright future ahead of him..

“Then do yourself a favor by erasing Charlotte from your memory and think about your new life with Arya”

Ethan mumbled in a stern tone to see Kyle’s gaze darken..
