Chapter 66: Just say yes
Arianna went into her room and laid on the bed. She turned from one side to the other on her bed. Jace’s face was just in her memory, she sent a text “Aren’t you engaged to Tayo Dante?”
Jace has opened the wine and poured himself a glass. He gulped it down and was going to pour another glass when he heard a text message notification.
The message read itself to him and he paused. He took the phone and read it himself. Arianna sent him a message “No, I’m not” he texted her back.
Soon another text message came in “but she said she’s engaged to you” he read it and replied “She lied. I don’t have anything with her or any woman. Just believe whatever I tell you”
“But you didn’t believe me back then when I told you I am not that kind of a woman that you took me for. Now you want me to believe you?” Arianna texted him back.
When Jace read her text, he sighed softly. She’s right. Perhaps if he had believed her at first, things wouldn’t have gotten so complicated between them.
He texted her back “I’m sorry”. When Arianna read his text, her eyes went teary. She has lost count of how many times he has said those words.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She placed her phone down and laid on the bed. Suddenly another text message notification alerted her. “I’m at the door, open for me”
Jace was at the door? She stood up and didn’t remember to put on her outer wear of the nightie. She went to the door and her hands lingered on the door knob.
She stilled her heart and then opened the door. Jace Hudson stood there in a night robe. In seconds, he had glared at her from her head down to her toes.
Her bare arms and shoulders were exposed. The nightie was above her knees and it’s transparent. Her body figure was outlined in the nightie and he found her attractive.
Arianna suddenly remembered that she was half nude in her nightie. She took steps backwards and got to the bed, picked the outer nightie and wore it, wrapping it around her body.
Jace had walked in and shut the door behind him. He went to her and stood before her. “Do you accept me now?” He asked.
Before Arianna could say either yes or no, he cupped her face in his arms and crashed his lips on her. He kissed her. Arianna just stood like a statue. He was kissing her but she didn’t respond to him.
He paused and told her “be my girlfriend. I need you in my life, Arianna. And Eli needs you as well, as his mom” he said. He circled his hand around her waist and said “Just say yes”
Arianna glared at him, looking into his ocean blue eyes. She nodded and Jace chuckled aloud “I love you very much” he said and kissed her.
Arianna kissed him back. The way he was kissing her was completely different from the way he kissed her that day that he raped her. This kiss was blissful.
He invaded her mouth, taking her tongue and kissing her passionately. Jace Hudson held her close to himself, as he kept kissing her.
Arianna can’t tell how long it took but felt a soft moan escaping her lips. Jace didn’t care but kissed her more. She could feel his hardness as it pressed against her.
She remembered his masculine body fragrance. It was evident this time. The first time she noticed it was in his office, when he began his abuse on her. But this time, it seemed the fragrance was all over her, overwhelming her.
Jace brought the kissing to an abrupt stop. He smiled at her. “Will you move in to share my bedroom with me?” He asked.
“No, I prefer staying here”. Arianna declared. Jace nodded. “Thank you” he said and kissed her temple. They soon said goodnight and he returned to his bedroom.
After Jace left, his body fragrance was still strong in the room as if he’s still in there. Arianna found joy and happiness flooding her heart. She’s now Jace Hudson’s woman.
Tayo Dante went into her sister’s room. She sank into the sofa and sighed. Flora Dante just stared at her expressionlessly. Tayo is too weak emotionally but highly temperamental.
“The woman is Arianna Jason. I learnt she’s the eldest daughter of Jason’s family. They are once a classical family but it looks like her dad went bankrupt.
But what I don’t know is why she wouldn’t return to the ghetto where she lived but moved into Jace Hudson’s Mansion. This is a red flag in itself.
My informant said she’s fine now. He told me that Jace seemed to care about her so much. What do you think I should do about it, Flora?” Tayo said.
“First, what is Mom and dad doing to get you both together. I think you need the support of both parents to stand tall with assurance.
Secondly, you need to make it clear to her that you are his woman. She doesn’t have a place in the Hudson’s family. You are going to be the young madam of the family. It’s wise and safe for her to look elsewhere for a man of her class…”Flora advice.
“Do you think I should visit Jace Hudson’s Mansion and have a word with the so-called Arianna?” Tayo asked.
“I would have said yes, but how do you get access into the Mansion?” Flora asked. Since the woman now lives in Jace Hudson’s Mansion, Tayo can only get to meet her there.
“Getting in is not a problem. I have an insider” Tayo Dante declared. How can she be worried about something insignificant as getting into Jace’s Mansion when George was still there as a bodyguard.
“Insider, who is he?” Flora asked. Tayo Dante shrugged “It’s George, my ex boyfriend “
