Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

I opened my mouth but no words were able to come out. Then it hit me. Why else would he cook for me after what I said to him yesterday. Except… my eyes widened… the food was poisoned!!!

With that assumption in mind, I started choking. I don’t know if it was on purpose or not but I was choking unbearably. When Adrian noticed how I was, he rushed towards me and crouched next to where I sat.

“Are you okay?” He asked in concern but I didn’t answer him. I could feel my veins popping on my forehead as I let out the heavy coughs. Did he really poison me because I don’t know why I’m like this.

“Did you swallow something? Let me check.” He muttered and attempted to touch me but I pushed his hands away aggressively.

“Is… n’t t.. his what you wanted?” I stuttered out as I still found it really unbearable to breath well.

“What do you mean? Why won’t you let me see what’s wrong with you?” He asked as he tried to touch me again but I pushed him away and managed to stand up on my feet, still breathing heavily.

“What did you put in the food?” I asked as I stared at him dreadfully.

“Nothing, just the normal ingredients for making a meal.” He defended as he stood up and attempted to walk towards me but I moved away. I was still choking and I could fell my eyes slowly watering.

“Liar!!!” I screamed.

“Why would I be lying about something as serious as that??”

“Isn’t that what you always do?” I asked back. He kept silent for a while, like my words had hit him really deep. It’s not like I lied. He is actually a liar and very deceptive.

“I know what you’re trying to say and I’m not going to argue with you about it. It’s just that I’m different now, I really didn’t put anything inside the food. I would never….”

He kept yammering on and on but I wasn’t listening to him anymore. I was choking really badly so it was getting really hard for me to get access to oxygen.

My eyes were slowly starting to get really blurry and my feet were wobbling. They couldn’t carry the weight of my body anymore. I almost fell down when I felt strong arms wrap around my waist.

I looked up only to see Adrian staring down at me with concern in his eyes.

“Shit!! You’re having a panic attack!!” He muttered in shock and fear as he stared directly at my face.

I was having a panic attack?? I thought it was because of whatever he put in the food.

“Okay Ariel, I need you to do something for me. I need you to breath…. calmly.” He muttered as he held my face in his hands.

I tried to do it. I tried to heave slowly but it was so hard to do so as my heart was pounding really fast like I had run a marathon. After trying and failing, I started to get really desperate for air.

“I.. I can’t do it Adrian… i.. it isn’t working.” I croaked out as tears started falling down my eyes. I could feel my life slowly slipping away from me. My eyeslids started to shut until Adrian pat my cheeks in a bid to wake me up.

“Don’t give up now. You’re almost getting there. Just take slow and deep breaths.” He muttered but I couldn’t.

“I can’t Adrian. I can’t do… hmmp.” My words were cut off when I felt him press his warm lips against mine.

It was really surprising but I didn’t try to push him away like I used to since it was helping with my attack. I could feel myself getting calmed by the kiss slowly and slowly.

It started off as a very slow and soft one as he only had his lips on mine before he increased the tempo. He wrapped his hands around my waist, bringing me closer to him as he bit on my lower lips softly.

I released a small moan as I felt his large hnads slip underneath my shirt and came in contact with my bare back. He wrapped his other hand around my neck and started kissing me deeper amd deeper.

After locking lips for sometime, I could slowly feel myself loosing my breath. I tried to stop but he didn’t want me to. He kept kissing me like his life really depended on it.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

When it got to much, I pushed on his chest and muttered agaimst his lips;

“I can’t breathe.” He stopped immediately he heard that. Though he stopped kissing me, he still didn’t let go of me as I was still wrapped in his arms. We took in huge breathes as it felt like we had just run a very long marathon.

When my breath had finally stabilized, that was when I realized that we were all alone in the dinning hall. All of the maids that were around before had left already and I didn’t even know when they did. I was caught up with how good his pink plump lips felt against mine.

I was very lost staring at him, his eyes rather. I hate to say it but he had s very gorgeous and mesmerizing pair of green orbs that manages to pull me in with just one look at it. It felt like was under some sort of enchantment anytime I stared at his eyes.

Like now, I was so lost in his eyes that I didn’t even realize what he had just said until he tapped me on my cheek.

“What.. what??” I stuttered like I had been pulled put of some trance.

“I asked if you are you alright now.” He muttered as he stared at me in concern.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Thanks a lot.” I muttered.

“For what?”

“What you did just now really helped with the panic attcak.” This was the first time my panic attacks end on a very good note. On a normal occasion, I would have blacked out for a whole day at least but just one move from him was able to calm me down.

“It’s no problem. I was at fault. You thought I poisoned you so you.. panicked.” He muttered.

“Yeah.. about that, I’m sorry. It’s just that it felt really suspicious as we weren’t really on good terms last night.” I explained. I felt so bad after thinking of how I misunderstood him.

“It’s fine. I was the one that caused all of these in the first place. I shouldn’t have lied to you…” I heaved as I waited for him to finish, for him to say those words that would make me forgive him finally.

“It was all my fault.” He added and that shattered all of my hopes. What was I thinking?? The almighty Adrian would never apologize even though he knows that what he did was wrong. His huge ego wouldn’t let him.

“I see..” I muttered and tried to get out of his hold but he held me back.

“What’s wrong??” He asked in concern. He might have noticed how disappointed I looked when he said that.

“Nothing..” I muttered curtly and tried to get out of his hold again but he wouldn’t let me.

“I know I did something that was really bad and I want to try and make it up to you.” He said.

What would be much better than an honest apology?? I stared at him impatiently as I waited for him to continue.

“I would like for you to meet my family.” He muttered with a smile.

What the hell!!!
