Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter 15- Take a wife
Ethan sat on the chair in his office as he rolled on it while smiling in satisfaction. He had just struck a massive deal with a company and the account of his company was booming with money. “Can I come in, sir?” He heard a voice outside the door and almost immediately, his door opened and someone barged in.“I didn’t say that you could come in!” Ethan barked angrily as the secretary walked into the office with her head lowered to the ground.“I’m so sorry sir, I couldn’t stop him from coming in”, she said apologetically while Ethan gestured for her to leave the office.“You should apologize for barging into my office that way. I’ve told you severally, if you want to meet me, then do it responsibly”, Ethan said sternly while Wilson smirked and broke into loud laughter.Wilson was a friend of Ethan and the direct assistant to Ethan’s father. They had gotten separated after Ethan and his family moved into another city. However, luck shone on them the moment they realized that they had

“Are you still here with me?” Wilson asked as he tapped the desk, making Ethan to jerk up. He had been lost in thoughts that for a moment, he forgot that Wilson was sitting right at his front.“What is the problem Wilson, I’m certain you know that my father asked me to marry just to satisfy the society. What else would be the reason?” Ethan asked tiredly as he glared at Wilson, who shifted his gaze to the newspaper.Ethan let out a sigh of frustration and picked up the newspaper.He jerked up immediately the moment his eyes caught something on the headline.“Popular billionaire “Thompson Hopper” said to have another son and heir”, the headline read, causing Ethan to freeze in shock.“What the hell!” He mouthed as sweats broke out on his forehead.Wilson chuckled and glared at him intently, watching how he suddenly became restless at the sight of a headline.“This isn’t true, is it?” He asked angrily and flung the newspaper away, panting heavily and jerking to his feet.All his life,

“Hey Dad!” Kiara yelped excitedly as she pulled her father into a warm hug.Stan stood by the corner as he watched the father and daughter moments that didn’t seem to please him.His mind was encircled on Carissa and with each minute that passed, the thoughts of her became worse.He had thought that she would wait for him a little longer, just for some more time. He needed to lay his hands on a huge amount of money, and that would have never happened if he didn’t do what he did.For the first time since the day he walked away from Carissa, he felt a sting of regret.“Babe!” Kiara called out as she gestured for him to walk closer.Stan slowly trudged towards them, flashing a widesmile on his face and trying so hard to pretend.“You appeared quite odd a minute ago, is everything okay?” Mr. White asked with a slight frown on his face.“Yes sir, I’m great”, Stan replied and smiled again, with Kiara clinging to him as though she were a baby.“We should go in, dinner is served”, Mr. white

“Have some water”, Kiara said as she stretched a cup of water towards Stan, who was coughing and gasping for air.He couldn’t tell what caused that, but he could swear that the question and the look in Mr. White’s eyes was terrifying.“I’m good”, he murmured, and returned his gaze to meet that of Mr. white.“I didn’t hear your last question, sir”, Stan lied as he stared at him.“Kiara!” Mr. white suddenly called out as he shifted his gaze to his daughter.She jerked up and lifted her head, smiling at him widely while patting Stan’s back calmly.“I want you to look into his eyes and tell him when you want to get married”, Mr. White ordered as the dining hall turned dead silent.“What?” Kiara asked as she chuckled and broke into loud laughter.She stopped laughing when she saw the expression on her father’s face.His eyelids were squinted and raised, and his eyes bulged out as though he were enraged. The corners of his mouth pointed downwards, and his jaws were tensed.“Dad!” Kiara call

“Next six months?” Stan screamed on top of his voice, causing Kiara and her father to turn a sharp gaze at him.“I’m sorry, I was just quite surprised”, he said and chuckled nervously.“I understand that it’s too far, but at this point, we should work with what she has chosen”, Mr. white said as he continued munching on the chicken wings he had on the plate.“Eat your food”, Kiara whispered and nudged on Stan, whose attention was far away from them.“I should go out and get some air”, he excused himself and walked out of the dining hall, with Kiara exchanging glances with her father.“Do you think I said something wrong?” Kiara asked her father, with a gigantic frown on her face.She dropped her fork on the plate and folded her hands to her chest, clearly disturbed by how Stan had reacted.“He is fine, perhaps he needed some air like he said”, he said calmly and gestured on her to move further with her meal.“What if he leaves me like the others?” Kiara asked as tears welled up in her

Ethan barged into his father’s company with a giant scowl on his face. His face was red with anger and his blood boiled in rage. He ignored the greetings of the employees around as all he was concerned with was meeting his father to drop a piece of his mind.“I’m sorry sir, you can’t go in at the moment. Your father is with some people, very important”, a man who was clad in a suit said as he stood at Ethan’s front.Ethan scoffed as he clenched his fists in anger. He shot the man a dead glare in a bid to let him know that he was in for no joke.“Are you standing on my way?” Ethan asked as he took slow steps toward him.“I’m only following order's sir”, the man said, with his head lowered to the ground.“To hell with orders!” Ethan said defiantly as he flung his fists towards his face, causing him to let out a slight cry of pain.The man held his cheeks and glared at Ethan, who had no glimpse of remorse in his expression.“I’m sorry, I still can’t let you in”, the man said again, stan

Everyone was in awe as they watched Ethan, who showcased his inappropriate behavior in the public. None of the reporters present believed that Mr. Philip’s son was as aggressive and stubborn as he appeared to be. This caused their heart to leap in excitement, especially because they got something more spicy and juicy to add up to the story.Mr. Philip had summoned them for a press conference to address the issue of having a child somewhere with another woman. They had just finished listening to his story and as though luck were shining on them, they met his son who was behaving like someone who has just escaped from asylum.“What? Haven’t you all stared at me enough?” Ethan asked aloud as he broke into a loud and hysterical laughter.“Go and get busy, you nosy fools! Go on and write what you’ve seen today, idiots!” He insulted them and made to leave when he stopped right in his tracks.“And yes! Just a little warning to never hold me next time you see me”, Ethan said, and threw qui

Carissa stood at the front of her window as tears trickled out of her eyes.She was the most pathetic person on earth, and she needed no one to tell her that.For days after the failed wedding, she remained indoors, without an idea of what next to do or how to do it. She was certain that she couldn’t hide under that excuse for so long because the doctors already confirmed that she was doing great and only needed to rest for a couple of days.And subsequently, she is expected to put forth another date for her wedding.She sniffed hard when she realized that it was a burden which she alone understood. It was her cross to carry and somehow, she wished that someone could understand.Her door knob turned and immediately, she cleaned the tears off her face and wore her usual pretentious smiley face.“Carissa”, Mrs. Williams called out as she walked towards her with a giant smile on her face.“I thought you were taking a nap or something like that”, She added, while Carissa smiled and shook

Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter 38- Home visit
The couple’s fun fair, which Carissa thought would make her and Ethan better in their relationship turned out to be worse than she had thought. Not only did she meet her ex lover, but he was in the hands of another lady.“Why didn’t he tell me that he had a girlfriend?” Carissa asked herself as she tossed uncomfortably on the car seat.“Are you okay?” Ethan’s voice disrupted her thoughts and as usual, she put up a smile that didn’t get to her eyes.“I’m very fine. I had fun today”, Carissa lied, but wasn’t swift enough because Ethan observed it.“Are you sure about that? Your expression contrasts with what you just said”, Ethan pushed further, throwing questioning glares at Carissa who tried to remain aplomb.“I’m sure about that”, Carissa replied and took in a deep breath. “How about you? You appeared so cold and different the moment your eyes landed on Stan”, Carissa said and peered piercingly into his eyes.“You appeared extremely disturbed when you both had a dance together. I sh

Carissa closed her eyes as she took in the soft lyrics of the song that played. With Stan’s hands on her waist, she could swear that she was on top of the world.“Tell me you didn’t miss me”, Stan’s breath on her bare shoulders caused her to jerk back to reality.“Look at me, Carissa”, he ordered, with his hands on her waist trailing towards her bare back as though he were driving towards pulling down her zip.“What do you think you are doing?” A wide-eyed Carissa asked, suddenly freezing in shock.“I’m doing something I’ve missed”, Stan replied, caressing her back with his fingers, just as the dance continued.At this point, Carissa felt extremely uncomfortable as she dreaded getting caught by Ethan.She had known Ethan for a little while, but she could swear that he would never take it lightly with Stan.“You can’t do anything strange here. People are here and Ethan is there as well”, Carissa said as she swallowed hard and darted her eyes towards Ethan, who was lost in the dance se

“What? Me?” Carissa asked in shock the moment she found everyone’s eyes attached to her.“Come forward beautiful lady”, The man on the microphone went further, after which an uproar of applaud rented the air.“Oh God!” Carissa cursed under her breath, timidly making her way to the front of the podium.She was a quiet and simple girl who hardly loved attention. At such, it was quite difficult to walk firmly with the eyes of many people on her.Most times, she wondered how she would be able to cope with Ethan as the wife of the billionaire.The numerous paparazzi and attention from individuals of the society was something she was yet to prepare her heart for.She darted her eyes to the far end of the crowd where Kiara was cheering on to her, clearly in the spirit of excitement.Carissa’s face fell the moment her eyes shifted to Stan, whose hands were wrapped around Kiara’s shoulders.It was obvious that he was uncomfortable. He had beads of sweats on his forehead and with every second t
Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter 35- Heated meeting of the crew
Stan froze the moment his eyes met that of Ethan and Carissa. The two appeared so admirable as they held hands together and smiled at intervals.He could feel his blood boiling in rage that for a minute, he thought of approaching Ethan to give him the beating of his life.However, despite how much he wished to do that, he knew that it would only mean trouble for him.“I think I know him”, Kiara noted as she pulled Stan, who was trying so hard to resist her grip.“What do you think you’re doing?” “We should go say hi to them. His father is a friend of mine, and we had dinner together some time ago”, Kiara explained as she walked towards them, with Stan strolling beside her.Stan was in a fix and at that point, he couldn’t think of anything else apart from doing as she pleased.“Ethan?” Kiara called out in elation as Ethan quickly lifted his head to stare at her.Carissa did the same almost immediately, clearly curious to know who it was that called Ethan’s name with such excitement.H

“Babe! We are here!” Kiara squealed in excitement the moment the car drove closer to a park that was clearly booming with a series of activities.Stan’s head was tilted to the side of the window, clearly uninterested in what Kiara had just uttered.He was in the worst phase of his life and there didn’t seem to be a way out of it.“Babe!” Kiara’s voice came up again, jolting him out of his thoughts.“Are you okay?”“Yes! Sure”, Stan replied and came off the car, staring at the inscription on the entrance that said-couple’s fun fair”.A deep sigh escaped his lips as he suddenly became exhausted.“We are not a couple yet”.“Of course we are! Aren’t we getting married soon?” Kiara said in elation as she pulled Stan towards the entrance.Stan was extremely pissed, but he knew better than to show that to Kiara. She would get sad and quickly call her father to report him.That was one thing he couldn’t keep up with Kiara, her clingy and unnecessarily childish attitude.He was unable to blame
Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter 33- Couple’s fun fair
Loud chatters and music enveloped the atmosphere, with different couples clinging unto each other and whispering sweet, inaudible words into their ears.Carissa came off the car and smiled at Ethan, who stretched out his hands for her to cling on.“Enjoy the day with your husband to be”, Carissa said to herself as she walked towards Ethan, who appeared to be extremely fulfilled and elated.They slowly trudged into the field, clearly amazed by the number of people that were present.“I had no idea that it was going to be this huge!” Ethan confessed, with a glimpse of pleasure in his eyes.The past few days had been quite rough for him. Trying so hard to live in a house that now had the presence of a stranger was the most difficult thing he could ever think or imagine.“I saw the news about your father having another son”, Carissa noted, peering into his worried eyes and caressing his hands lightly.She was trying so hard to act normal and behave in the way and manner a wife is meant to

“You won’t dare talk to me as though I’m a child! I’m still your father and if you push me to the edge of the wall, you won’t be excited by the outcome!” Mr. Philip bellowed angrily as he took slow steps towards Ethan, who had turned mute.“He is my son, and so many things made me confirm that! He showed me the picture of his mother too”, he yelled and clenched his fist in fury.“You mean the picture of your whore? The bitch you fucked around when you were supposed to be with my mother?” Ethan asked, without a glint of remorse in his expression.“That whore gave me a son and that son is still my blood!” Mr. Philip chimed in.Richard, who had been watching them suddenly, stood up and broke into loud laughter.“This is funny, but then, I didn’t find the part where you called my mum a whore funny. But then, the argument going on between you two is quite interesting!” He said and picked up a glass of wine which he gulped down hurriedly.“Sit down like the bastard you are!” Ethan growled.
Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter 31- The meeting
Ethan slowly walked into the dining room, with a massive scowl on his face, and ignoring the greetings coming from the maid and housekeepers.“You came down late”, Mr. Philip said, with an obvious look of dissatisfaction on his face.Ethan ignored him and shot a dead glare at his brother, who was smirking at him and making funny gestures.“Apologize!” Mr. Philip yelled angrily, causing Ethan to jolt off his thoughts.Ethan shrugged, with his fists clenched and his heart thumping rapidly.He felt totally embarrassed, but knew that he had to succumb to what his father ordered.“I was busy with some things, I apologize for keeping you”, he muttered and took in a deep breath.Almost immediately, he heard the sound of someone munching on something hurriedly and lifting his head up, he saw his brother chewing on a piece of chicken that barely fitted into his mouth.“What the hell! Must you show us that you’ve been starving all these while?” Ethan said, raising his nose in disgust.“Ethan, be
Billionaire’s Runaway Bride Chapter 30- Hey brother!
Ethan got back into his room and took his clothes off. He took a quick shower, after which he poured himself a glass of alcohol.Just then, he heard a knock on the door and almost immediately, the door knob turned to reveal a young man who seemed to be younger to Ethan with a year or thereabout.“Who the hell are you?” Ethan asked as he stared at him intently.“Well, that can wait for another time. Actually, I’m here to take a tour at my father’s house”, the young man explained and chuckled calmly.His eyes darted to the bottle of alcohol that Ethan drank from.“I guess they missed out the part of my brother being an alcoholic”, he said with a wide grin, causing Ethan’s face to turn red in rage.“One more word from you and I would send you to your early grave!” Ethan threatened as he stood to his feet and took slow steps towards him.“Easy brother! It is not your intention to hurt me before my official introduction”, the young man said with a wide smile that pierced right into Ethan’s
