Billionaire’s

Ethan scowled as he walked out of the grocery store with his bags in hand. He couldn’t believe that she had referred to him as an unforgiving Jerk.

First, she had called him a pervert, and now he was an unforgiving jerk, he mused, wondering what her problem with him was and why he kept encountering her this way.

He knew he was eventually going to have to forgive her and put what had happened between them behind him since she wasn’t someone he could avoid- not when she was close to his brother and sister–in–law and also happened to be best friends with Derek’s lady.

Either way, he was stuck with her, so he was going to have to find a way to tolerate her despite her annoying personality. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Not wanting to dwell on it, he got into his car and drove home. The moment he got home, he decided to relax for a while.

He picked up his phone and smiled as he thought of his Golden Sun. She had asked him to let her know when she made it to Top 3. After chatting with the other four ladies on his top 5 list, his thoughts kept drifting back to her, and he enjoyed talking with her more.

During their hangout the previous day, he had told Derek about his Golden Sun, and Derek had suggested that if he enjoyed her company so much, he should probably work towards meeting with her and finding out if they’re compatible in areas that matter.

Deciding to give her a call, he dialed her line. Almost immediately, Rayna, who had just stepped out of the shower and was wrapped in her bathrobe, received the call with a broad smile when she saw it was ET.

“Hello, husband man,” Rayna greeted pleasantly, and Ethan grinned.

“Husband man?” He asked, feeling good already just at the sound of her voice.

“Why? Do you prefer husband woman?” She teased, and he chuckled.

“Husband man is fine. I’m just wondering why you chose to call me that,” Ethan said, and Rayna sighed as she sat on the edge of her bed.

“Because you’re a man aspiring to be a husband. Tell me something, do you call your top five candidates one after the other?” She asked curiously.

“I called you just because I wanted to know how you’re doing,” Ethan said as he relaxed on his couch.

“Well, I’m okay. I was having a bad day a while ago, but I feel better after a cold shower. What about you?” She asked, and Ethan sighed.

“Same here. But I feel better after hearing your voice. Why were you having a bad day? Want to talk about it?” Ethan asked, but Rayna shook her head.

“Nah. It’s not worth talking about. Care to tell me my present position in your top five and the criteria to be your top one?” Rayna asked, changing the subject.

“I believe you’re my top one, seeing how I enjoy your company and think about you when I talk to the others,” he said, and Rayna grinned. “Really? You think about me when you talk to the others?” She asked with a smile as she bit her lower lip.

“Yeah. So, I wanted to ask you some questions,” Ethan said, and Rayna’s brow arched.

“Shoot.”

“Will you be willing to undergo some health checks at a medical facility of my choice? I want to be certain that you’re healthy,” he said, and Rayna shrugged.

“As long as you’re paying for it, I don’t mind,” she said, and he smiled.

“And you’re also going to have to undergo a medical check too at a facility of my choice, but you’ll pay for it yourself,” she said, and Ethan chuckled. “Why?” He asked, and she raised a brow.

“Why what? If you’re asking why a facility of my choice, it’s because I can’t trust a result from a random place you choose. And if you’re asking why you’re the one paying for it, it’s because I’m sure you’re richer than I am. Besides, you have four other options apart from me. What if you choose to go with them at the end of the day? I would have wasted my hard–earned money already,” she said, and he chuckled.

“Okay. We will do that. Let’s assume that we are compatible and everything is okay health–wise. Would you mind getting married in two weeks?” Ethan asked, and Rayna’s heart skipped a beat.

“Two weeks?”

“Yes. I don’t want to date. I want to get married. We already get along so well. This is better than what I expected when I put out the ad. We can get

to know more about each other after we get married. And I’d like us to start having kids immediately,” he said, and Rayna felt butterflies in her belly.

“This is supposed to sound rushed and weird, but why does it make me hot?” She asked, and Ethan smiled.

“Maybe because having kids means we are going to have sex…”

“You don’t even know if you will find me sexually attractive,” Rayna pointed out.

“For some reason, I already find you sexually attractive even though I don’t know what you look like. Maybe it is your voice. Or the way you speak,” Ethan said, and Rayna giggled.

“I feel the same about you. It’s weird that we feel that way,” she said, and looked up when her doorbell rang and she remembered that Evelyn was coming.

“I think my best friend is at the door. I’ll call you back. Or maybe we can text instead,” she said as she headed for the door in her bathrobe.

“Alright. Let’s switch to texting then,” Ethan said before hanging up.

Rayna had a grin on her face as she opened the door to Evelyn, “Hey, what’s up?” She asked, and Evelyn raised a brow.

“Why do you look so excited when you sounded so pissed earlier?” Evelyn asked as she stepped inside.

Rayna waved off the question, “That’s in the past. Guess who I was talking with just now? ET,” Rayna said with a wide smile as she shut the door behind Evelyn.

“Hmm. So, Ethan made you angry, and ET is making you happy. Funny how Ethan’s name begins with ET, too,” Evelyn said, and Rayna scowled.

“Ethan is nothing like my ET. Please don’t even mention their names in the same sentence. That Ethan guy is so so annoying,” Rayna said, and Evelyn giggled.

“I guess you no longer plan to double date,” Evelyn said, and Rayna shook her head.

“Nope. I’m settling for ET,” Rayna said as she sat down, and then glanced at her phone when it buzzed with a message notification from him.

ET: [So, how many kids would you like to have?]

Golden Sun: [I’d like to have three kids. Two boys and a girl. You?]

ET: [I’m thinking two girls and a boy, or maybe all three girls.]

Golden Sun: [Why all girls?]

ET: [I’ve always wanted to be a girl Dad. I see so many cute girl dad videos on Instagram, and I want to be one.]

“Are you even listening to me?” Evelyn asked with an amused expression as she watched Rayna, who seemed engrossed in her phone and had a grin

on her face.

“Yeah. Sure,” Rayna said without looking up, “This guy is hilarious, Evie,” Rayna said with a giggle.

“I suppose you’re talking about ET?” Evelyn asked, watching her.

“Yeah. Who else? I think he’s a 10,” Rayna said, looking up at Evelyn with a grin.

“If he is so great, why is he single and in need of an ad to find a wife?” Evelyn asked, and Rayna shrugged.

“Am I not a great catch myself? Why am I single? And why did I respond to such an ad to find a man?” She asked, and Evelyn nodded.

“That’s a good point. You single people need to stick together,” Evelyn said, and Rayna’s jaw dropped.

“You didn’t just say that to me, bitch!” Rayna said, and Evelyn tittered with laughter.

“Yeah, I did, you single Pringle,” Evelyn taunted.

“You do realize that I could get married before you at this rate, right? My ET is not here to play. He wants a wife, not a girlfriend. And we don’t have Sandra or Michael to stop us. We are drama–free,” Rayna said, and before Evelyn could respond, Rayna’s phone buzzed again, and she returned her attention to her phone while Evelyn shook her head.

ET: [Since your best friend is there, why don’t we chat later? Maybe we can talk about meeting soon. I’d like you to be the first person I go on a date with. That way, I don’t have to meet any of the others if things go well between us.]

Golden Sun: [Sure. Let’s talk about that later. I’ll text you after she leaves.]

Rayna set aside her phone and turned her attention to Evelyn, “Guess what?” Rayna asked excitedly.

“What?” Evelyn asked when she saw the gleam in Rayna’s eyes.

“He wants us to meet soon. And I think I might get married in two weeks if our date goes well,” Rayna said happily.

Two weeks?” Evelyn asked in disbelief.

“Yeah. So, get ready to plan my wedding. I have a feeling our date is going to be perfect, and he will be my perfect man,” Rayna said with a dreamy

smile.

“I was sort of hoping things would work out between you and Ethan. You know, the whole Destiny stuff. It would have been nice for us to date two best friends.” Evelyn said, and Rayna snorted.

“I don’t care about Ethan. He can go to hell for all I care.”
