Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

“I doubt Adrian would ever believe this.” He muttered and without warning, he pushed pushed me closer to him and pressed his warm lips on mine.

My breath hitched and my eyes widened in shock the moment I felt him move his lips slowly against mine. What is wrong with him? Why is he suddenly kissing me?

I tried to push him off of me but he wouldn’t budge. Instead, he held me closer and deepened the kiss. Slowly, I started to panic. Anyone could burst through that door right now and catch us like this.

It would ruin my life and my career but I couldn’t even stop him. At some point, he tightened his hold on my jaw when he realised that I wasn’t gonna open my mouth anytime soon for him to invade it.

I whimpered in pain as I felt his hold tighten on my jaw. It hurt so much but he didn’t care. All he cared about was the pleasure that he was getting. Even though he pinched on my chin hard, I held in the pain and still didn’t open up from him.

I didn’t want him to get full access to my body. After seeing that I wasn’t going to open up anytime soon, he pinched my exposed laps harshly and that made me wince in pain.

He took that chance and used his tongue to invade my mouth. He started sucking on it like he was trying to suck away my life. I gasped and pushed on his chest as I tried to catch my breath.

When I saw that it was getting to much and he didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon, I opened my mouth wider and that allowed him more access into me.

I could feel him smirk against my lips. He thinks I’m finally giving into him. Immediately, I clasped my teeth shut as I bit on his lower lip harshly. He groaned in pain but I didn’t care. I only let him go after I had my fill.

When I finally let go of him, his lower lip was already red, swollen and bleeding at the side. Serves him right.

“Oww. What the fuck is wrong with…” He wasn’t able to complete his words when I caught him off guard and punched him really hard on this face sending him across the bare floor.

I winced as my knuckles hurt from hitting his hard face. The pain I was feeling was really great but it couldn’t be compared to the one I inflicted on him.

“How dare you touch me like that??” I asked as I angrily wiped my lips. I felt so disgusted now as I could still feel his touch on me.

He wasn’t able to reply me and was still holding his hurt jaw in shock. He probably wasn’t expecting that blow from me, neither was I. But I really needed to teach him a lesson so he wouldn’t try what he did ever again.

“This is the last time I’ll condone your nonsense behavior. I don’t care if Adrain will believe me or not but I’m telling him everything that you’ve been doing to me. He needs to know the type of person he calls cousin.” I spat as I eyed him in hatred.

“What a douchebag.” I muttered in spite as I arranged myself and walked away from where he was, leaving behind his shocked self.

I finally walked into the hall where the gala was taking place. I slowed down my pace and tried walking more gracefully as I could see a lot of eyes on me. Some were filled with admiration, some envy, some lust and others, disgust.

As I walked in further, I could hear whispers around about the supposed date I brought in with me. I guess the news had gone round. Thankfully, Oliver wasn’t with me. If not, things would have been much worse.

I navigated around the eagle like eyes that were watching me closely before I found a quiet place to stay. The party continued as people resumed talking amongst themselves.

As I looked around, I noticed something. The people here were amongst the top notch families in every country. Though I didn’t know them, I was able to tell because of the extravagant things they wore, how they walked and talked gracefully and their poise.

I would have felt more out of the place if I had put on the dress I wanted to. I looked down and accessed my outfit with a small smile on my face. Thankfully, Adrian came to my rescue and gave me something better to wear.

I stayed where I was and the party went on and on till the MC climbed up the podium. The slow jam that was playing stopped immediately.

“Good evening ladies and gentlemen.” He called and everyone turned their attention to him.

“We welcome you all once again to the Cooper’s annual fund raising event.” He said and everyone around cheered happily.

The Coopers. They are the family that hosts this event yearly. They are also a very prestigious family too but not here in Miami. They are from New York but they host this event in different countries every year.

They jsut happened to pick Miami this year.

“This event wouldn’t have been possible without them so let’s toast to them.” The MC added and Mr. Cooper, who was a man in his late fifties raised his glass of champagne and everyone followed suit.

A waiter was passing so I collected a glass of champagne from him.

“To more good and fruitful years ahead.” Mr. Cooper said and everyone chanted after him before they drank from their cup. I took a little sip from mine before I placed it back on the table. After everyone had settled down, the MC continued.

“At this moment, we have a very important guest in the house with us. He is someone that has never been seen in the public before but decided to honor us today. He is one of the biggest sponsors for this event. Let’s give it up for Adrian Montgomery.” The MC said and everyone around cheered happily.

My ears tinged when I heard the MC mention Adrian’s name. I thought he wasn’t coming. I looked up only to see him on his wheelchair with his mask covering his face. He was putting on our wedding ring on his left finger.

A man in suit wheeled him towards the podium before a microphone was handed over to him. They greeted everyone around before he started his speech.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

I could hear snickers amd whispers around while Adrian was talking. Most of them were insulting and laughing at him, rather his disfigured face and disabled legs. The way they were talking bad against him and raining insults on him was so annoying to the extent that I felt I had to so something.

“Even with those liabilities, he still has more purpose in life than you do.” I muttered amd that draw their attention towards me.

“What did you just say to me?” The first one asked. It was a lady.

“Exactly what you heard.” I answered curtly. Her face morphed into a frown as she moved to attack me but her friend held her back.

“That’s Adrian’s wife. Do you really want to attack her in front of his very eyes?” Her friend asked and that made her to stop dead on her tracks.

“She isn’t worth it. Let’s just go.” Her friend added and pulled her out of my sight.

Now that they are gone, the air around feels much better. I was about to turn my attention back to Adrain when I heard someone say;

“I finally met Adrian’s infamous wife.” I turned around only to see a very good looking young man. He looked like he was in his late twenties. He came towards me and accessed my body from head to toe.

“You look more gorgoues in person.” He praised, his eyes not leaving my body. I stared at his face as I tried to remember if I’ve met him before.

“And you are..” I asked when I still couldn’t recognize him.

“Forgive me my lady. I’m family. A cousin of your darling husband.” He answered as he took my right hand in his and placed a small kiss on my knuckles.

Cousin?? How many cousin does Adrian have?? I thought it was just one? I opened my mouth and was about to say something when I saw a lady walking towards us.

“Oliver.” She called as she wrapped his hands around his arm lovingly.

“Did you seriously ditch me for this….” She eyed me from head to toe.

“Lady??” She added as she stared at me in anger.

I didn’t care about the way she was staring at me. All that was in my head was what she called him. She called him Oliver and he just told me that he is Adrian’s cousin.

If he is indeed Oliver, who’s the one I’ve been living with??
