My Billionaire Love

🌸 CHAPTER 5 🌸

Edited

The next day we took an early morning flight to Venice, Italy. Adrian took his private jet which was so luxurious and elite that I was in awe with it. Honestly, none of the planes I had ridden on was as good as this one. And I came to know it was made especially for him. The pilot of the jet told me who became my friend when I was waiting for Adrian, who by the way was taking a call. He was a nice man in his early thirties and had a wife who was his love from high school. They had a beautiful and adorable son together too.

"Shall we leave"
Adrian asked or rather ordered as he climbed up the stairs of the jet where the pilot and I were talking. His eyes were trained on the phone, and he didn't bother to look up. But our pilot nodded and went to the chamber to prepare for take-off while we settled behind, buckling our seat belts.

The flight was silent and boring. Adrian kept on doing his office work while I on the other hand had nothing to do. I slept, I did some office work which I knew Emma would scold me later, watched a movie, read a magazine, and then, at last, we landed in Italy. As our landing was announced, Adrian put aside his laptop and buckled himself. All the way he didn't utter a single word to me or anyone. I wonder why he is like this; I admit this marriage was just a business deal and this honeymoon was more for the world than for us, but it won't harm if we talk and befriend each other.

We finally landed and I rushed out of a plane to be welcomed by the cold December breeze. I pulled my coat closer to my body and blew out a hot breath that fogged in cold air. I forget my gloves and now my hands were freezing. I rubbed my hands to produce heat when I suddenly saw black gloves dangling in front of my face. I looked up at the person who was holding gloves. Adrian.

"Thank you but I am fine." No, I was freezing but there is no way I would ask Adrian for help. 

"Your hands are turning blue take these"
He urged and I gave in putting forward my palm for his gloves. He put gloves on my hands, and I wore them, these were still warm and secretly I pulled them to my nose to smell. A faint smell of his cologne lingered in them, tingling my nose. Before I could embarrass myself, I snapped out of it and rushed to sit in the car. Adrian himself drove the car when his driver brought out luggage.

When I saw the hotel, we would be staying in I was in complete awe of the structure. As someone who designs and constructs buildings, I could tell the love and passion of the constructor. The corridors, lobby, elevator each and everything told how much that person loves his or her work. When I stepped into our penthouse suite my opinion of that person grew even strong. He sure loves his work, and the owner has good taste too, I would say.

"You go and freshen up first, I would take time in the bathroom"
Adrian told me as soon as we entered. I nodded and went to my suitcase to get something to change into. I took a quick bath and changed into a pair of leggings and sweaters because it was not too cold inside, when going out I would pull on pants and a coat too. After me, Adrian went to the bathroom. And believe me when he said 'I would take the time he did take time, a lot of it.

"Adrian why are you in a suit"
I looked at him weirdly because he was wearing a suit when we were on a supposed vacation.

"I am planning to go visit some business associates I have here"

"But we are on vacation, I checked some awesome places to visit"
I jumped off the bed and went closer to him. He was standing in front of the mirror combing his hair. I was distracted by his damp hair for a minute but composed myself focusing on the matter in the hand. He can't leave me and go to his business because this was our vacation. I know this was not our honeymoon, but we can visit around when we are in such a beautiful city.
