The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Few weeks later at a cemetery…

Mia bent down a little touching Ray’s shoulder with a small smile..

“Go on Ray it’s your turn.. offer your flowers”

Ray took a look back at his dad who gave him a nod, he took a step forward to the graveside next to Mr Carter who was mumbling some things to next to the grave, he dropped the flowers and walked back to Mia…

Mr Carter looked a bit well off now, his beards was nicely trimmed and he also looked healthy..

The incident from that day was still fresh in their minds, Charlotte was apprehended by the cops that day and was locked up behind bars..

Some years behind bars will definitely make her think twice before commiting any more crimes..

Ray pouted his lips staring blankly at his bowl of cereal, he missed Arya, she was the one who always made breakfast for him and also gets him ready for school..C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“Come on Ray.. eat up” Mia urged stroking his hair gently..

She sighed already knowing where this was heading to, he’d probably throw a tantrum and it would take him quite a while to be pacified..

“I miss Arya aunt.. can’t we go visit her one more time?”

“We all saw her yesterday… you don’t want her to be sad right?.. she won’t be happy to know that her baby doesn’t want to eat”

Ray stared down at the bowl and picked up his spoon..

“I’ll have my breakfast” he murmured..

Mia smiled and planted a kiss on his forehead, the poor little kid has seen and had enough of the cruel world he was living in..

***

Chad touched Kyle’s shoulder gently, he took in a deep breath, watching Kyle cry was the most unbelievable thing he has ever seen..

“Kyle.. please calm down.. you can’t break down like this, you have to be strong for Ray’s sake”

Kyle turned to Chad with a frown on his face “It’s been three weeks Chad.. and she hasn’t woken up.. why is that?”

*Lol.. you probably thought Arya was dead ?*

“Kyle you need to relax.. she’ll come around soon.. I promise, you just have to stay calm and collected please for everyone’s sake” Chad assured leading Kyle out of Arya’s ward with him..

As soon as they were gone, the fingers of the lady on the bed moved a bit..

Meanwhile…

Chloe sighed, staying at home for the past three weeks was so boring, after Arya’s delight was destroyed by some men few weeks ago..

She was now officially jobless, her poor dear friend still hasn’t woken up after she was shot by that bitchy sister of hers..

A plate of scrambled eggs was pushed in front of her..

“Eat up.. I don’t want Bryan scolding me for not feeding you well” Liam seconded..

Amidst the whole chaos they’ve been through, some good things did happen to her, for example, Bryan was getting along with her brothers well except for Arnold whose ego was still so big to let everything go completely..

He never missed a chance to make Bryan feel uncomfortable..

“What is he? my boyfriend?” she snorted..

Liam’s hand went under his jaw staring at her teasingly..

“is he not?”

Chloe turned away from him taking her plate of scrambled eggs with her to the dining table..

“No he’s not!..”

Her phone rang out startling her a bit, she pulled it out to see Bryan’s name flashing on her screen..

“Umm.. I’ll be up in my room”

“Ohhh!! he’s the one calling right?”

Chloe stuck up her middle finger to him before bolting up the stairs and into her room..

She made sure the door was closed shut to prevent Liam from bardging into her room like he does all the time..

“Yes Mr Alexander?”

Bryan chuckled stepping out of his car, he took a glance at her closed window..

“At least grace your prince charming with a view of your pretty face”

Chloe’s face turned red, she walked towards her window and pulled it open..

“Oh.. aren’t you scared of what my brother might do to you again?”

“I don’t need his permission to see you, get dressed I want to take you somewhere.. I promise you’d love it”

***

Mia cleared her throat unable to bear the lingering silence anymore between she and Chad in his office…

Not his office exactly, but more of his personal space where he invites one or two buddies to spend time with..

They’ve been really close recently as a result of her frequent visit to the hospital to check up on Arya..

“So.. how is Arya doing?” She asked breaking the awkward silence..

“I checked up on her a while ago with Kyle… she’s doing just fine, the last few weeks has really been tough for everyone..”

Mia nodded in approval, she clasped her hands together feeling a bit nervous, why??

Maybe that was because the room they were staying currently had a few posters of barely clothed ladies on the wall..

“Mia”

Her heart skipped a beat as her name rolled out on his tongue..

She flashed a tight smile at him forcing her eyes to remain on his face that suddenly turned serious….

“Huh?”

Chad stood up to his feet and walked slowly to the seat opposite him where Mia sat, she swallowed back as he drew nearer..

She suddenly sprang up to her feet “I’ll get going now.. I have to help Kyle at the company” she announced and was about to walk past him when he held her arm and pulled her back gently to stand in front of him..

“Just a minute Mia..”

There was something about the way he calls her name that makes her heart beat, her eyes fell to his hand holding her arm..

It felt so warm and at the same time it sent jolts down her spine..

“Okay?”

Chad raked his hand through his hair “I’ve been meaning to tell you something Mia..”

She gave him a nod to go on, she had a feeling whatever he had to say will make her heart beat even more..

“I like you..”

Yes! that was it! her heart skipped a beat, she stared at him for a while all she found in his eyes was sincerity and honesty..

“I’ve always had a crush on you since we were at high school.. but I didn’t approach you because you never spared me a glance.. or perhaps you considered me as family just like the rest does.. i-

Mia pulled him to her by his collar, she stared into his eyes for a second before locking her lips with his..

Chad stared at her in shock, he wasn’t expecting that move from her at all…

“I couldn’t come close to you while all those girls flocked around you all the time”

Chad leaned forward to her, this time initiating the kiss himself, he held her nape gently delving into her mouth..

Her hands flung around his neck while she stood on her tippy toes to match his height a bit..

One of his arm snaked around her slender waist pulling her a bit closer to himself..

A hurried knock came on the door startling the two..

“Doctor Chad! the patient at ward 201 just woke up! we need your attention”

Chad and Mia exchanged brief surprised glances, that was Arya’s ward number..

***

Kyle bursted through the door to Arya’s ward, he made way through the little crowd around her till his eyes settled on her weak ones..

She smiled weakly at him just when he was standing in front of her..

Chad turned to everyone present in the ward, which included Kyle’s family, Arya’s dad and Chloe..

“Please let’s give them a moment.. it’s a little bit crowded in here”

They all paid heed to him and walked out slowly from the ward leaving only the two couple behind and also Chad..

“Arya.. do you feel any discomfort?” Chad asked

Arya shook her head slowly, he gave a nod and stepped out of the ward leaving the two behind..

As soon as Chad was gone, Kyle turned to Arya with a frown on his face..

“Do you think that was funny? did I ask you to protect me with your life?”

Arya tried so hard to stop the tears from falling freely from her eyes but she failed, she failed hard..

“Kyle-

Kyle suddenly pulled her into his arms stroking her back gently..

“I’m sorry.. I didn’t know what else to do Kyle..”

“Just promise me that you won’t ever risk your life this way again…”

She sniffed back “I can’t promise that Kyle.. I’m really sorry”..
