Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

*The next day*

I woke up, feeling very refreshed and happy this morning. I had a very good night rest even after all that had happened yesterday. Probably because I had a long talk with Hillary.

Today is Saturday so I don’t really have to bother myself in preparing for school. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Then, I rinsed my mouth and my face. After that, I filled the bath tub with my scented soap and warm water before I dipped my body in it.

I sighed as the warm water touched my body. It felt really nice. Being in the bath tub was so relaxing that I had almost fell asleep. I stood up when the water started to get cold.

I rinsed my soapy body before wrapping a towel around myself. Then, I headed back into my room. I was very startled to see Adrain there. Why does he like coming into my room when I’m wearing almost nothing.

“Good morning.” I greeted as I clutched the towel tightly towards my body so there won’t be any mistakes.

He didn’t answer me. He just nodded his head indicating he heard my greetings.

“It’s really weird to be standing in front of you like this. Can I just go in and put on my clothes?” I asked.

“Suite yourself.” Was the only thing he said. Why is he so angst today??

I took that as a yes and went into my closet. I quickly put on the first outfit that I could find. It was a short gown. I didn’t put on any bra because I didn’t want to keep him waiting there.

Just my undies and the clothe. I walked back into the room to find him still seated comfortably on his wheelchair.

“Is something wrong??” I asked when I noticed he kept staring at me like I did something really bad.

He didn’t answer as always. He just threw something on the bed. It was a snall jewelry box. I picked it up and looked up to stare at him in confusion.

I opened the box and gasped in admiration. Resting in it was a glittering diamond ring. Don’t tell me…

“That’s our wedding ring, I have mine too.” He said like he had read my mind as he showed me his left hand. He also had his matching ring resting on his hand too.

“Why do we need a wedding ring? We never had a wedding plus we aren’t in love with each other.” I said.

Even though the ring was that beautiful, it still felt really weird to put it on. I haven’t still gotten used to the feeling of being married to someone.

“Wouldn’t it be more weird if you were married to someone like me and you still don’t have any evidence to show of it??” He asked.

He was right. Our marriage hasn’t been made official yet. It was just Bianca that spread the rumors so going out with matching rings would make the entire public believe that we are actually married. But, I’m still having second thoughts.

“Why are you still thinking twice. Is something, rather someone holding you back??” He asked as he stared at me suspiciously.

What is he talking about?? Is he seriously implying that I’m cheating on him… after the speech I gave him yesterday?

“Are you trying to say that I have someone I’m in love with??” I asked him back.

“You can’t actually blame me for having such thoughts after all that had happened yesterday.”

“But I already explained everything to you. We’ve separated already and he has someone that he is in love with. That obviously isn’t me.”

“Then why are you having second thoughts about the ring? Or are you embarrassed of being my wife??” He asked as he took a short glance at his legs before he turned to stare at me.

Why is it that he’s always putting me in a tight spot and making me do things that I never wanted. Since he’s being suspicious of me, I have no choice but to bow to his wishes or I might face the consequences. I removed the ring from the jewelry box and wore it around my ring finger.

“I’ve put it on. Happy now??” I asked as I wriggled it at his face.

“Never you dare to take it off.” He warned.

What’s up with him today? Why is he so angst?? I wanted to say sonething but he didn’t wait for me. He just turned around and wheeled himself out of my room.

I was finally alone now. I raised my hands to stare at the ring that was resting on my finger. It was very beautiful and I was pretty sure that it would be very expensive.

Thankfully, he had a good taste in things like this and he knows my size because it fit me perfectly. Well, putting on the ring didn’t really feel bad like I thought it would.

Everyone already knows that I was already married to him even though the news didn’t come from the both of us. It would be more embarrassing if they think that it was a fake news.

I smiled as I stared at the glittering jewelry. I was never gonna take this off even though he asks for it back because I have already fallen in love with it. After all, you guys are aware of how much I’m in love with beautiful and exoensive things like this.

After admiring the ring for more minutes, I decided to head into the kitchen to eat something since I wasn’t able to eat last night. I walked out of my room and entered the kitchen only to see that it was empty.

No maids were around and no food had been made. I started to wonder where they went to and why haven’t the meals been made yet. I wanted to call them but changed my mind because of how loud my stomach growled.

I decided to make something myself. Thankfully, Grandma had made me take cooking classes when I was still with them. I always thought it was a waste of time since we had maids and chefs that were always around at our beck and call.

Now is the time to test out my cooking skills. I decided to make a light and fast breakfast because of how hungry I was. I chose pancakes as the food to be made.

I did everything I was to do and in no time, I was done. I took a small bite from the food and smiled in admiration. I never knew it would taste this good.

I made more in case Adrian and that cousin of his were hungry. I thought about serving Adrian his because I’m not really sure that he has eaten yet. But I didn’t really think I should meet him myself because for some reasons best known to him, he was mad at me.

I decided to call any servant around that would take the food to him. I turned around but was surprised to find Oliver staring at me. I never noticed that he was standing there.

Due to the shock, I mistakenly hit the bowl of water sitting on the counter, making the water in it splash all over my body.

“Oh my God!!” I screamed out when I saw that my body was drenched by the water.

I took out a table clothe and used it to dry off some of the water from my body.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

“Why didn’t you make your presence known. You just had to stand there like a ghost.” I complained in frustration.

I was answered by his silence. I raised my head up and wanted to say something when I noticed that he was giving me a very intense stare. Or rather, my chest area.

I looked down only to see my nipples very visibl. The gown I was putting on was made of light material and since I wasn’t putting on any bra, the wet clothe clung to my body tightly making my private area very visible.

“You pervert!!” I screamed as I used my hands to cover my chest.

He blinked severally and turned to face me. He stared at me in confusion like he didn’t understand what I was saying.

“What do you think you’re looking at huh??” I asked.

He cocked head sideways a little when he fully understood what I was saying. He chuckled a little before taking slow steps towards me. Out of fear, I moved back but he didn’t stop.

I mentally screamed out when I realised that I was caged between his huge body and the hard wall behind me. I had nowhere to escape to anymore. He placed his left hand on the wall behind me and used his right hand to hold my chin, lifting it up so I could face him.

My heart started beating really fast when I noticed how close he was to me. His breath was practucally fanning my face. Then, he leaned in like he wanted to kiss me making my breath hitch. Instead of doing so, he whispered;

“Don’t flatter yourself princess. Your body isn’t as enticing like you think it is.” After saying that, he let go of me before he finally left me alone in the kitchen.

Instead of feeling embarrassed of what he had just said, I was rather really surprised and confused. What he had just said was the same thing Adrian had told me the first night I met him.

How come they both said the same words to me??
