The Billionaire's Wanted✔[#1 Xerxes Kings]

Chapter 14: Left

ARIELA'S POV

Driving back to Xerxes's house, I gently sit down on the sofa. Finally, the reality hits me that everything is only just for the contract. To carry his baby.

I'm so careless of thinking another thing aside from fulfilling the contract with Xerxes. I totally forgot about the agreement, completely forgotten.

Shall I tell him about this?

No, probably not. I'm happy that I'm carrying the baby finally but sad at the same time because I will soon leave him and the baby for Rafael.

Thinking about it makes me want to cry.

I should have just stubbornly suggested using a test tube than to live with him and fall in love with him. I'm at fault.

With a shaking hand, I dialed his number.
Before the call gets answered, I hung up.

I don't think I can do this but I have to. I wonder what his reaction would be if he learn that the contract is getting fulfilled.

This time, I dialed his number without hesitation. He can react in anyway he want but this is what he wants right?

After a few seconds, someone answered.

"...'ello?" It's an unfamiliar male voice this time.

"Y-Yes? W-Who is this?" With a shaky voice, I find relief that this time, it's not a girl. I'm still jealous about it.

"Xerxes's best friend, Paulo. You are Ariela, right?" He asked with a gentle tone. Huh? How did he know my name?

"Oh y-yeah. How d-did you..." I trailed off.

"My friend would tell stories about you especially when we're alone. Right now, he's resting and asleep, worn last night." He replied. Last night?

"Uh, what happened last night?" I asked in curiosity while rubbing my belly.

"Someone threw a party last night. Xerxes was so drunk as he endlessly blabber about some girl he fell in love with. I don't have any idea about what he is talking about." He stated. "He mentioned your name before passing out."

"But... did something happen last night?" I asked shakily. I hope nothing bad happened to him.

"Wait." he said and then sent a photo to me, making my phone vibrate.

Clicking on the sent photos, I spotted the unconscious Xerxes lying on the white sofa, the first two buttons of his navy blue polo were undone as his black messy hair were sticking in every direction. That hot and handsome figure I've been dreaming every night.

My eyes threw daggers at the petite blond girl sitting beside him, cleaning him with a cloth. The girl is wearing a fitted black tube as her hand travel on his muscular chest.

"Don't worry about him. He'll be fine after his girl---" I quickly cut the annoying call.

I threw my phone on the wall, crashing it into countless pieces on the floor. This is it, my anger got me roaring.

'His girl' huh?

I'm shamelessly overpowered by my own jealousy that I really forgot about everything. My heart is bleeding with pain.

I can't believe I'm hating Xerxes right now. After a risky agreement, I turned like this. I shouldn't have fell in love with him and I should just have find another way to get my brother out of the cells. 

His words during that time he took my virginity came back to my senses. How foolish of me to forget all about it                                       

"Ariela... don't fall in love me." He whispered as buried his face at the crook of my neck.

"Why?" I asked, burying my fingers on his silky hair.

"You might end up getting hurt." He replied.

"I won't. Don't worry." I replied as he kissed me hungrily on my lips.

The cold droplets of tears burst from my eyes and he's right. I ended up getting hurt.

I want to stay away far from him, where I can never see him again. I'll just find another way to get my brother out of the jail than to give up my baby to him. Besides, he doesn't know that I've already conceived a payment.

Packing my things, I returned back everything that he gave me: car keys and other things. I take a few money with me left.

"Ma'am, wait!" The head gardener of the Kings's yard called out. I know that he's going to ask me about this.

"Hey there Mr. Brown." I waved with a tiny smile. "Thank you for keeping this place beautiful to live in but I need to go home, to my own home." His face is full of questions so I cut him. "I'll come back maybe after a few months. I'm going to visit my family."

He smiled and tapped his hat.

"Safe trip ma'am." He stated, ignoring the situation and contiued his work.

I didn't look back, not for a second. I might jump back to Xerxes Kings's bed again.

*****

*****

I'm still outside our house but I can hear a lot of people inside, laughing and talking.

I have no idea about what's going on inside so I quickly entered with frowning eyebrows.

"Big Sis!!!" I was surprised by the dashing smile of Rafael. He looks so happy and his eyes are so lively unlike before.

"Is that you, Raf?" I asked with my mouth gaped open. Oh my gosh, so Xerxes kept his promise!

"No it's my portrait. Aren't you at least happy to see me?!" I ignored his remark. He quickly wrapped his arms around me and lift me up in the air.

"O-Okay put me down now. Of course I'm happy to see you!" I replied with happiness, as he placed me back on the floor.

I quickly touch my belly. I hope you're okay after that baby.

"Ariela! You're finally back! You just came for dinner! Join us!" Says aunt Diane. Based on her looks, she does not want to ask further about my attitude to her last time.

"The food smells delicious and looks yummy and tasty! I can finally eat homemade dishes again!" Rafael excitedly stated, grabbing a fried chicken leg and take a bite from it.

Rafael lost weight from the cells. I smiled while lookinf at him now. The anger I felt awhile back from Xerxes is replaced with unexplainable joy from Rafael.

"Let's pray first, young man." Nena said, slapping away Rafael's hand.
