Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

Bianca was still waiting impatiently outside the ward. Mrs. Alexandre walked closer to where she was and before Bianca could utter any word to her, she raised her hands and landed a very hot slap on her cheek.

Bianca held her assaulted cheek in shock as she felt the impact of the slap on her. Mrs. Alexandre was staring at her with angry eyes as her chest heaved heavily.

“This is all your fault!!” She screamed out angrily.

“M.. mum??”

“Don’t call me that!! Do I look like your fucking mother??: she asked loudly. Loud enough to draw the attention of the people around.

When they noticed that it was none other than Mrs. Alexandre, they moved away since she had been rumored to be a very problematic woman. No one wanted to be in her bad side since she already has someone that has stepped on her toes.

They didn’t want to be a victim of her anger. Most of them felt pity for Bianca since she was the one that was getting all of the assaults from Mrs. Alexandre while the most courageous ones stayed back and watch but still kept a safe distance from them so they wouldn’t be spotted by the middle-aged woman.

“After everything that I did fot you, I supported the relationship between you and my son but now see where that has landed him.”

“But it wasn’t my fault..” Bianca muttered as her eyes started to get really teary. The only one that supported her in that family is now against her and that was enough to shatter her heart into a million tiny pieces.

“It isn’t your fault??” Mrs. Alexandre sneered in disdain.

“You were the one that gave him those nonsense ideas. You both were happy in your relationship when you started giving him false hope. Weren’t you the one that asked him to seduce Ariel??”

“I… I..” Bianca stuttered out in shock. She didn’t expect the woman would be aware of everything that happened.

Yes, she was the one that asked Lucas to do it but she didn’t expect it would become like this. She only wanted to teach Ariel a huge lesson. She wanted her to know that even the ‘loser Bianca’ as Ariel used to call her can take something from her too.

What she didn’t expect was that things would turn out this way. She has lost everything; the little popularity she had, the little love from some of the students and now, she’s on the verge of loosing the love of her life.

“Cat’s got your tongue??” The middle-aged woman asked as she eyed Bianca in disgust.

“Mum..”

“I told you not to call me that fucking name!!!” The woman said angrily as she slapped Bianca again. Bianca held her cheek as the pain coursed through her.

“I’m so sorry… madam.” She muttered as she bowed her head in shame when she noticed the onlookers.

She was very angry that someone like Mrs. Alexandre could raise her hands on her twice in a row, something that has never happened to her before but what could she do? The woman assaulting her was none other than Lucas’ mother so she couldn’t fight back if she wanted to keep her relationship with Lucas.

“That’s much better. I don’t want you to ever call me mum or mother. I didn’t give birth to you nor do I want to end up six feet underneath the earth’s surface.” Mrs. Alexandre sneered.

Bianca could feel an unbearable amount of pain in her heart when she understood what the woman said. Her mother had died years ago when she was birthing her.

She was the only child and was taken care of all through the years by her father. He loved, adored and pampered her all through her life so she grew up to be very spoilt and with the idea that she ruled everyone.

That idea came to a halt when she crossed path with Ariel, someone who was more richer, powerful and loved by everyone else more than she was. She was jealous because to her, she and Ariel were almost the same. They were both adored by their family members.

The only difference is that Ariel has a full family and love from both parents and that was what fueled her jealousy and anger. She was often compared to Ariel by people but every single time, Ariel always emerged as the winner.

Ariel has a sibling and a best friend while she’s stuck with minions that carry out her biddings only when she has something to offer them. And Ariel didn’t waste anytime in throwing it to her face that she would always be superior to her in everything.

“I don’t want you close to my son again.” That sentence was enough to bring her out of her reverie. The thing she had been avoiding the most had happened.

“But..”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

“If you truly love him like you claim, stay away from him. How can you claim to love someone but you’re still the one that’s hurting him.”

“But it wasn’t me. Ariel was the one who….”

“She wouldn’t have done that if you didn’t drag him into your conflict with that girl. You were the one that caused this, your jealousy is what made him this way so don’t you dare put the blame on someone else.”

“Take my advice and leave my son while I’m being nice. If I ever see you close to him again, you’ll be sorry.” The woman said and way about to enter the ward back when Bianca suddenly stood in front of her.

“You don’t have a say in my relationship with Lucas.” She said with all of the courage she had left in her.

“What did you just say??” Lucas’s mother asked like she didn’t hear what she said before.

“Lucas is mine. We are in love with each other. He isn’t going to agree withe leaving him.” She answered. Mrs. Alexandre stared at Bianca for a while before she bursted out into a very loud laughter.

“Y… you really think that Lucas would go against me for you??” She asked as she tried to stop laughing. Bianca didn’t want to loose even though she was aware she had already lost the battle a long time ago.

“Yes. He loves me.” Bianca said.

“Love… a very powerful word. And you think the love he has for you is much greater than the one he has for me, his mother???” She asked as she gave Bianca a ‘are you that dumb?’ look.

Bianca opened her mouth but couldn’t utter anyword. She knew the middle-aged woman was right. Lucas loved his mother more than anyone else in the world. He only listens to her that was why she tried to get on the woman’s good side.

Now that she has turned against her, every relationship her and Lucas ever shared is now hanging on a very thin thread. She needed to do something, anything. She didn’t know when she fell on her knees and held the woman’s trousers.

“What are you doing??” Mrs. Alexandre asked angrily.

“Please, don’t push me away from Lucas. He’s the only one I have in this life. I can’t live without him. I beg you madam.” She pleaded as tears flowed freely down her eyeballs.

“You should have thought of that before you introduced him to that plan of yours. This is your last warning, stay away from my son or your regret ever meeting him in the first place.” Mrs. Alexandre warned as she kicked off Bianca’s hands away from her body before walking into the ward.

Bianca stood up and wanted to follow her into the ward when she realised that the door had been shut from within by the woman. She cried and pleaded for Mrs. Alexandre to open the door but all of her pleas fell on deaf ears.

When her hands started to hurt, she stopped knocking. She turned on her heels and left the hallway as she ignored the sympathetic looks from the onlooker. She was looking really dejected like someone that lost a loved one.

Well, she did loose the love of her life. When she got outside, she sat on a bench facing the road and bowed her head as tears fell freely from her eyes.

“What have I done???” She asked herself as she held her head angrily.

Why did she do that?? She was blinded with jealousy and now, she has lost Lucas. All these wouldn’t have happened if Ariel didn’t act like she was more superior.

She wouldn’t have had the need to hurt Ariel and now, she has lost everything. But Ariel can’t go scot free. Ariel needs to feel the pain that she’s feeling now.

She brought out her phone and stared at the picture with anger written all over her face. Though Lucas said Ariel didn’t flinch when he tried to blackmail her, it doesn’t mean this photo wouldn’t cause a stir if she uploads it.

Uploading this photo is just the beginning of the wrath she would pour on Ariel. She doesn’t care what would happen anymore. Afterall, she has nothing to loose.
