Chapter 306 Gold Digger
The Taylor family, the Martins family, and their friends decided to spend a week at His Goodness Resort to relax before the wedding. Xavier had left his Executive Secretary, Cole Knight, to take care of the company.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
On Sunday morning, a convoy of luxurious cars was seen going to His Goodness Resort. Xavier’s friends took a week’s vacation leave. Since Gabriella was a Maid of honour, her boss, Mr Moss, approved two days’ vacation leave for her.
Mr Woods senior was in his precious grandson’s car beaming with joy. He looked at Hunter and asked, “My precious grandson, when are you proposing to my granddaughter-in-law?”
Hunter didn’t know how to respond because his ex-girlfriend, Marcia Fox, had indicated that she wanted him back. Hunter and Portia were so happy but when Marcia walked into his office and cried in his arms his heart ached.
She asked for forgiveness and asked for a second chance. His heart was beating violently against his chest.
Then he took her in his arms and kissed her fiercely. They nearly crossed the line, but he snapped back to his senses at the last minute.
He asked her to give him time because he was in a relationship. He looked at his grandfather and replied, “Grandpa, my ex-girlfriend, Marcia Fox, wants me back, and I am thinking of giving her a second chance.”
His grandfather looked at his precious grandson and said, “Why don’t you spend quality time with Portia this week, Hunter? Should you feel she is not the one for you, by all means, break up with her after the wedding ceremony.
Portia is a good girl, and I have never seen you so happy like this when you were dating Marcia. It was clear to me that it was a one-sided affair.”
It would be a lie to say Hunter was not happy with Portia, but his heart was already stolen by Marcia. He promised his grandfather that he would spend quality time with Portia before he made a decision.
Caia was over the moon when she saw the resort. It was breathtakingly beautiful. She looked at her husband with anticipation in her eyes and asked, “Honey, do you mind if we get married here as well? I want a beach wedding.”
August looked at his wife with gentleness in his eyes and replied, “Why don’t we set a date for our marriage so that the resort would not have any guests during that period?” Caia was so happy that she kissed her husband on his lips.
Xavier handed his villa’s set of keys to Wayne and Portia. The villa was his honeymoon gift from Avery’s father. He didn’t want to go back to that villa ever again. He would return the set of keys to Miss Hayes before he left.
On Wednesday after lunch, Xavier was with his friends in Hunter’s villa chatting and laughing, but Hunter was quiet. Xander looked at his best friend and asked, “What is wrong, Hunter? You seem distracted. Is everything alright?”
Hunter smiled faintly and replied, “My ex-girlfriend wants me back, and I am not sure what to do. I love her with my soul.”
Xavier looked at him and asked, “What about Portia? I thought you were happy together.” Hunter replied, “We are happy, but I am still yearning for my ex-girlfriend. I think I will give her a second chance.”
Xander was dumbfounded and said, “Hunter, please don’t do this. Portia is a good woman, and she loves you a lot.”
Hunter shook his head and replied, “I don’t want to live with regrets, Xander. What if Marcia is my soulmate?”
Xavier looked at Hunter and said, “Portia is like a family to me, Hunter. She really loves you, and she will be heartbroken when you break up with her.
To be honest with you, I don’t think Marcia will make you happy. You deserve happiness too, Hunter. Please don’t throw away what you have with Portia.”
Hunter looked at his friend and replied, “I am sorry Xavier, but my heart belongs to someone else. I thought Portia would make me forget about Marcia. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I promise that I will break up with her after the wedding.”
Xander was so disappointed in his best friend and asked, “Didn’t Marcia say she was not happy in your relationship? What has changed? Please investigate this matter before you make a decision, Hunter. Portia doesn’t deserve this.
In August and Caia’s villa, Aiden was fuming with anger. His father was sitting on the sofa with his arm around Caia.
August smiled at his son and said, “Aiden, please meet my wife, Caia Martins. We got married a month ago. I wanted to introduce her to you during the housewarming, but you didn’t come.”
Aiden couldn’t believe his ears, he looked at his sister and asked, “Did you know about this matter, Avery?” Avery nodded her head and replied, “Yes, big brother, and I approve. Daddy needs to be happy too.”
Aiden couldn’t believe his ears and asked, “How about Mom?” Avery looked at her brother puzzled and replied, “Aunt Elizabeth and Daddy are divorced, big brother. Also, your mother has moved on. Lily told me that she is dating a young man.”
Aiden was so angry that he tried to slap his sister in the face, but Avery dodged. Avery told her brother that Lily had introduced her mother to her new boyfriend.
Aiden was trembling with anger. He looked at his sister coldly and said, “Avery, stop spouting nonsense. My mother is not dating anyone.”
Avery laughed out loud and asked, “Why don’t you visit your mother’s house to see if I am lying or not?”
Aiden turned to his father and said, “I am so disappointed in you, Dad, for believing Avery’s lies. Do you think a beautiful girl like her will fall in love with someone like you? She is after your money. You are so shameless.”
His father was not angry. He smiled and replied, “My wife took after your mother. Didn’t she marry me for my money as well?” He didn’t tell his son that Caia was from a wealthy family.
Aiden felt betrayed by his family. He looked at his sister with cold eyes and said, “Avery, from today onwards you are no longer my sister. How could you take our father’s side?”
Avery smiled faintly and replied, “I think it’s for the best for us to cut ties. You don’t deserve to be my brother.” Aiden’s chest tightened when he heard his sister’s words, but he ignored it.
Then he looked at his father and said, “When this gold digger ran away with your money, please don’t say that I didn’t warn you. This will not end well, Dad.” Then he slammed the door and left.
His father’s behaviour hurt him deeply. His heart ached for his poor mother who was sitting in the mansion waiting to reconcile with his father. He would never forgive his father for betraying his beloved mother.
He went to his villa and started packing. He couldn’t stand his father and his sister’s betrayal. He took his car keys and drove away. He decided to visit his mother to tell her about his father’s betrayal.
