One Night With The Billionaire

The doctor glanced from Chase Hudson to Pricillia Black and back again and sighed. These two seemed to be at enmity with each other.

“The mother is free from harm’s way but we couldn’t save the baby. We lost him” the doctor said and Chase Hudson tears ran down his cheeks.

“Can I see her now?” Pricillia Black asked, ignoring Chase Hudson’s shocked expression.

“No, you’ll have to wait a little longer” The doctor declared and walked away.

Chase Hudson walked backwards until he sank into a seat. His tears ran down his cheeks. He was still and for a while, he didn’t move a finger.

“My baby, my little baby..” Chase mumbled and sniffled. His eyes had gone reddened and he was sobbing now.

“My child…I’m sorry” Chase kept sobbing. For a while Pricillia Black momentarily forgot herself and glared at Chase Hudson.

He is sobbing over a baby he claimed he is not interested in? He said horrible words to her and invariably to her daughter because of the baby in Rosalinda’s belly.

He is now sobbing over spilled milk? This is ridiculous. How can he do that? Is he pretending to be hurt? Is he putting up an act?

She sat opposite Chase and watched him. She saw him bring out his phone and called a certain person “I lost my.. ba.. by Arianna” he said and sniffled, swallowing hard to ease his airway.

Pricillia Black was hurt as well. But she seemed to forget her own misery of losing a supposed first grandchild and glare at Chase.

His complexion had gone reddened as well as his eyes. He sniffled and took a tissue, cleaning his sore nose.

He glanced at Pricillia Black and looked away. He felt so guilty that he didn’t want to stare at her again. He had not only hurt Rosalinda, he did the same to her mother.

Pricillia Black noticed stains of blood on Chase. Was he there when the whole thing started, was he with Rosalinda?

Soon, the theatre was opened and Rosalinda was wheeled out of it in a stretcher. She looked pale but sleeping.

Chase Hudson sprang up and went to her, holding her hand as she was wheeled into the ward. Pricillia Black wanted to tell him to go to hell but felt pity for him.

She didn’t know he was pretending all along. So, he really was happy about the pregnancy? He really looked forward to carrying the child?

“What now, was she given a sedative?” Chase asked, turning and glancing at her again.

“Yes, she’ll be awake in a few hours. And we’ll just place her on observation. Once we see that she’s stable, we’ll discharge her” the doctor explained.

“Thank you doctor” Chase Hudson appreciated. He glanced at Rosalinda and knew he owed her an apology big time.

He’d hurt her too much. Once she opens her eyes, he would plead with her to forgive him. He really needs to apologise to her.

Chase went closer and wanted to touch her, to caress her hair affectionately when Pricillia Black roared “Don’t touch my daughter”

She walked over and stood before Chase, grabbing the suspended hand and flinging it off. “Because I allowed you to touch her hand a while ago doesn’t mean I have forgotten about your attitude.

I only allowed it because you are also grieving the loss of your unborn child. I allowed it because your consolation might come as you held the child’s mother’s hand.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

But don’t push your luck too far. You have played your part so far and now, I will like to say you have overstayed your welcome. So get your promiscuous feet out of my sight” Pricillia Black ordered, glaring at Chase furiously.

Arianna shivered when Chase told her that he had lost his baby. He was in the hospital with her. She needed to go at once.

She shut down her laptop and took her bag. She needs to inform her fiance about it. She knocked and went into Jace’s office.

He raised his head and glared at her with a poker face. He is being professional and didn’t show any slight expression that he was staring at his woman.

“Darling..” Arianna said and was going to continue when Jace interrupted her “CEO Jace Hudson. Keep professionalism in mind when you walk through that door” he corrected.

Arianna nodded and said “I’m sorry sir. Forgive my manners” she declared and sighed. The other day when she wanted to act professional, he changed it for her and said he is the boss.

“What do you want?” Jace asked. Caping his pen and glaring at her expressionlessly.

“Chase called me, he was sobbing. He lost his baby” Arianna said and her eyes went teary.

“So, what do you want me to do about it?” Jace asked flippantly. What the heck is his business with that? If he lost his baby, good for him.

“He’s in the hospital with her,” Arianna added, not answering Jace’s question.

“Do I ask you where he is? Why are you feeding me with news that doesn’t interest me?” Jace snapped at her.

“He needs us. We should run along to meet him. He needs us by his side” Arianna urged. She knew what Chase did to him hurt him. The memory of it must definitely still be fresh in his brain.

“We should run along to meet him? We? Were you trying to say you and I should run along to meet Chase in the hospital because he lost a baby he never wanted from its conception?” Jace demanded, now glaring at her intently.

“Yes. It doesn’t matter if he wanted the baby or not. You’re also a father, you should take pity on him, put your differences aside and stand by his side reassuring him” Arianna coaxed.

“I’m not going anywhere. And this would be the last time you bring Chase’s matter before me like this” Jace warned.

“If you aren’t going to go, then I’ll go alone” Arianna declared and turned around to go when Jace thundered “If you dare take a step out of this company before the closing time, you’ll have me to contend with”
