CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 14- A MISUNDERSTANDING
ARIEL POV My eyes met with Ryan's cold face, looking Stoic as ever. I felt my heart skipped a bit, my tongue-tied. It was as if cold air passed through me, my nervous self appearing. “Is that true, Ariel? Your ex-boyfriend, whom you are trying to get back with, right?” His brows creased, his eyes boring into mine. “No. No. He is just a friend.” I spoke up finally, as it felt like eternity. Ryan scoffed, glancing around before meeting my gaze. Damien had a smirk on, as he wanted to put his hand on my shoulder, but I pushed him away. Ryan eyes darkened. He let out a sigh, before leaving. This time, I followed him, not until I felt Damien hand on mine. I slipped off my hand, proceeding outside, only to realize Ryan was gone. I simply went back in after waiting outside for a few minutes. I couldn't allow our reservation to go to waste. I approached the receptionist, who directed me to one of the private rooms. I walked in, taking in the beautiful features of the room. It was spac
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 15- WARNING
I breathe in the fragrance I had grown accustomed to, as I stepped into the living room. The maids stopped to greet me as I responded politely. “Miss Ariel, Sir Bryan requested your presence in his study room. “ One of the maids informed me. I took long strides towards the study room, which I discovered during one of my tours around the mansion. I stopped a few meters to the study room, as it was open. I breathed in and out before coming in. “Good day sir. You requested my presence.” He raised his head from the book he was reading.He closed the book, placing his hands on the table. “Yes, I did. Please sit.” I obediently sat, taking a glance across the room for a while. “Selina told me your marriage is set to be next month. How are you preparing for it?” “I'm trying my best, sir. Ryan and I haven't really discussed much on it. We would prefer a rather low-key marriage.” I said, as he nodded. He leaned closer, making me move back a bit, resting on the chair. “Hmm. Well, I know
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 16- ANOTHER DISCOVERY
ARIEL POV I tried to open my eyes, but it was blurry, prompting me to close them. A numb pain shot across my head as I hissed. A sweet fragrance invaded my nostrils, as I breathed it in. A little conscious, I snuggled closer to the undeniably comfortable thing.It felt like a human sized pillow. I snuggled closer, burying my face in it while enjoying the lovely scent. A subtle movement brought me to open my eyes. My eyes widened in shock when I became aware of what or perhaps who I had my head on. I jeered back immediately, my heart racing at the sight of Ryan sleeping comfortably in my bed.'What is he doing in my room? I facepalmed, feeling embarrassed at the thought that I embraced him thinking he was a pillow. I gently caressed my forehead, the incident that happened the previous evening crossing my mind. I felt my body trembled, a reminder that my dad was at risk. I must have felt unconscious yesterday. I grimaced at the thought that yesterday's incident made it the third
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 17- AN ATTRACTION
RYAN POV I allowed my eyes to hover over her from head to toe. She looked simple, but the expression on her face was priceless. Maybe, it really was true what Damien said yesterday. Were they getting back together behind my back? “Since you are my fiancé, I will spill the beans.” She let out a sigh of relief, before resting on my chair. “Go on.” I gestured. “Damien was my senior while I was in College. We were both studying Business Administration. There has not been any romantic relationship between the both of us. We were close, but not really close.” She fiddled with her fingers as she spoke, her gaze meeting with mine. My eyebrows creased. I don't even know why I was bothered. “Whatever.” I huffed, shaking my head to distract my thoughts. It was still difficult for me to accept that it was true. Or just perhaps, Damien was simply doing that deliberately to piss me off. “Am I pardoned?” Her eyes raised a bit, as she peered at me. “Yes, as long as you do not have any dealin
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 18-. MARRIAGE INVITATION.
ARIEL POV It had been close to a week after the incident that led me to being unconscious, and for some weird reason, I felt totally off with thoughts. I tried calling the number, but it went into voicemail. Now, I can't reach my dad. I just hope he is fine. The clicking sound jolted me out of my reverie, as I turned abruptly. “Ariel, I hope you do not mind going in person to meet Ryan,”Mum said. I haven't stepped foot in his company ever since the last time. Every morning, I make his breakfast and send it via the driver. “Sure. I was thinking of going there today too.” I said half truthfully because it had been close to a week since I've seen him. Not only that, but I missed his cold face for some odd reasons. “Good. Take care.” She left, as I arranged my small basket with Ryan's homemade food. I hopped into the car as Mr. Walter drove. I felt nervous, and for this reason, I began to wonder if he liked my meal. Even though I was yet to figure out his favorite dish, I would
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 19- MEETING DAMIEN
ARIEL POV Each day served as a constant reminder that my marriage with Ryan was drawing near. It is also a reminder that my stepmom was still probably after my life, and would do anything to prevent me from moving forward. She wanted me dead, or alive as a pawn to use. Every time I leave the house, bodyguards are always stationed around secretly. No doubt it was Ryan's doing. Now that I would be in his world, I needed to be getting accustomed to a lot of things. Things like popularity and being careful of scandals and paparazzi. Even though Ryan seemed to be someone who doesn't like his life being out in the open, he can't always escape it. The quiet and reserved life I wanted is slowly fading away. The knock on the door prompted me to leave the novel I was reading, as I opened the door, meeting Eva standing by the door. Her wide smile almost creeping me up. “Sister in-law, can I come in."? I rolled my eyes, standing by the left side. I can't believe she is this welcoming. Alwa
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 20- THE VISIT
As much as I tried to keep my heart at ease through the ride, it never yielded any positive result. I was going back to my former house, but was having a different feud of emotions and feelings bottled inside of me. I wasn't sure what I was thinking about, but I was more than determined to give it a try. I wanted to at least see if the place had been rented out, or perhaps it was still there, just desolate. “Mr. Walter, you can take the right turn, then head straight sir.” I directed, as the car continued moving. The road wasn't so good, as the car kept bumping in and out of potholes. Much for living a little far from the city side. I stared out of the window, as memories flashes in. Countless times, I had trekked a long distance from home to save money for transport to school. I would always end up getting tired when I get back to school. Just one night and my life suddenly changed. A night of secrets and lies. And a night of new beginnings. I must confess, I still find it dif
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 21- THE WEDDING
Dressed in ruffled lavender long down with heels, alongside Ryan who wore a slightly gray slim fit suit and brown Tomasso Italian leather shoes, we both made our entrance. With our arms entwined, we walked into the hall bustling with many people including businessmen and women all over the United States, and probably beyond. Nervousness clouded my innermost and I could only count numbers inwardly to ease the tension already building up in me. This was my first social gathering, especially with Ryan and almost in no time we were able to draw the attention of others. We began making our way to an empty table, as a familiar fellow walked up to us. None other than Eva. She hugged me, causing my arms to slip off from Ryan's. I noticed him groan, as Eva simply rolled her eyes. “I thought you would never come. Guess my brother really meant it.” Eva teased, as slow music began playing in the background. “What brings you here, sister?” Ryan's voice prompted the both of us to stare at h

CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 90- LOVE CONQUERS AT LAST
#FIVE YEARS LATER ARIEL POV We have come this far, and to be honest, it hasn't been easy. What drives us as a couple is the in-depth love that cares at all times. It had been a beautiful ride, completely worth it. My years of marriage with Ryan had been the best. It taught me lessons- to be tolerant and patient. To love and cherish Ryan and just when I fell in love with him, which wasn't reciprocated at first, I almost thought I would give up. But I never did. Evelyn's entrance into our life was yet something that left the fringes of hope that I had . The thought of Ryan finally loving me suddenly escaped into thin air. I wanted to vent my spleen and maybe give up, but my love for Ryan kept me going. It was a daily reminder that I had someone worth holding on to. Love is patient and kind, never seeks out for its own interest. My six years of marriage helped me to see clearly that sometimes, love is not a feeling. Because if it was, it would have faded like dust. I hit the
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 89- MAKE UP
ARIEL POV My mouth dropped for seconds, as I stood. Ryan waved his hand, stopping my forward movement. He took one last glance at me, before walking further into the house. My throat dried, as a bitter feeling erupted inside of me. I felt bad for what I did. But I was scared. The thought of having a child seemed quite overwhelming at first, not to mention the fact that I wasn't sure Ryan was ready to be a father yet. “He will come around. Don't bother too much about it, sis.”Lucille's hand patted my shoulder, as I faked a smile. "I guess this was a bad timing. I have to leave now. You guys need time to sort things out.”Lucille commented as she held her bag. "Wait. What about the biscuits? I made them specially for you.”I took some in a plastic container as I placed it in her bag. She simply looked on, as I walked her out of the house. We hugged for the last time, as she promised to visit with her husband next time. I closed the door behind, feelings of chaos slowly fillin
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 88- DISCOVERY
RYAN POV It had been three weeks since Ariel moved back and my life had gotten better with her company. It was just like the good old days. Our conversations were quite a fine one with no stoppers to make it awkward in any way. Well, all had been good except for the lovemaking part. We always end up making out, but not any further into sex. Ariel always laid complaints or excuses, making me wonder if she was afraid of something. Or maybe she wasn't ready to have sex with me again. That thought had been lingering in my mind as far as possible. Even when I asked her what was wrong, she only asked me to be patient. I am patient, and I trust she must have a good reason for holding back. I really hope the reason wasn't because of me. I expelled a breath the moment I entered the garden at my mum's mansion. Everywhere was rather quiet with just the chirping of birds, and flapping of wings. The green plants blossomed greatly, making every part all green. I walked towards my mum, who se
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 87- THE REUNION
ARIEL POV Summer is one of the best four earths seasons that foreshadows Autumn. The days become warm, hot, and long, nights shorter. Everyone loves summer. I love it too. It was the best time to go on a vacation, especially spending more time closer to the sea. Plenty of leaves on trees and numerous plants to admire. It was always a beautiful day to observe creation. And that was how I had been spending my days, yearning for Ryan to be beside me. Occasionally, I imagine us going for a vacation – just the two of us. Maybe Eva's question really got me, making me reconsider going back to Ryan. I didn't have the perfect words to reply to Eva that very day she asked that question, and I was grateful the doorbell came to my rescue once again. But now, the right answer was on the tip of my heart. Most times when I glance outside, it was always as if I felt Ryan's presence. Every gift he always sent was full of graceful and sweet words that often melt my heart. I really missed
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 86- HEART POUNDING
RYAN POVIt has been over a week since I witnessed that horror scene that kept plaguing memories. The secrets that came with it only left my mind off, my body trembling with anger and disappointment. Nick came right on time. Dad and Evelyn saved, which at least made me feel better. I wanted to let them live, even with the hurt they caused me. They made me look like a fool for so many years. However, it made me grateful that all these happened. It made me feel special to have Ariel in my life. She is a special gem who has helped me introduce changes to myself. Slowly, she helped me strip off my old personality. As for dad, he was arrested and will be spending the rest of his life in prison. He was involved in illegal deals with drugs and human trafficking. It was a shocker. Evelyn, on the other hand, was under confinement in the psychiatric hospital, as she was being taken care of. It was shocking to realize that her mental health was at stake because of my dad, who used these dru
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 85-THE TRUTH
RYAN POV Everyday seems like I would go out of my mind any moment from now. It is really appalling to see the effect Ariel had on me. And so far so good, I have been able to make a decision if at all she ever agrees to be in my life again. I had decided to resign from being the CEO of this company. I hadn't told anyone about this, as I was still debating on it. I wanted to be certain I really wanted that simple lifestyle I yearned for those past years. My fingers shook as I waited patiently for Eva to text back. I had been asking her about Ariel all this while. It was safe to say I was happy she was doing fine. But, I really missed her. I felt miserable without her. Ariel still proved to be the best as she saved food recipes for me. I cooked with them and it has been my lifesaver. I wondered what would have happened if Ariel didn't leave those recipes of hers. I would have been diagnosed with ulcer - the ailment I had battled with in the past. Even Though I didn't thoroughly en
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 84- ATTEMPTED MURDER
ARIEL POV Being pregnant seemed to be tampering with my mood, as I seek solace in quiet places. In fact, I love silent places. I love to be alone most of the time. Eva has been the kindest soul as she often sttays with me. She always leaves for work in the morning and returns in the evening. Damien had been making sure I was regularly checked by the doctor. Every now and then, I felt lonely, the thought of Ryan's well-being hovering in my mind. I didn't give in too much thought to Eva's words, but I still imagine what it was like for Ryan to have witnessed his father having sex with his wife. It was a betrayal that will definitely sting deep. I wonder if he is drowning in alcohol, or wallowing in self-pity. He probably misses me now. I sighed, as I glanced at my new phone, as if I was expecting a call from him. He doesn't even have access to my new number. How will he call? I grimaced at my thought. The doorbell rang, as I made to stand, but stopped as Eva passed by. "I wi
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 83- PREGNANT
ARIEL POV There was comfortable silence, as the doctor took her final check on me. I fought with the apprehensive thoughts running through my mind, and it took a lot of courage not to give way to tears, especially if the doctor confirmed Eva's words to me. Eva had demanded that Damien call a doctor to check up on me, and a test had been run on me. The last few hours are all dedicated to me. "Miss Ariel is two weeks and a few days pregnant.”The doctor dropped the bombshell, as I felt my heart pinned. I should have expected this, but it was as if I were in a trance. Eva's body collided with mine, as she engulfed me into a hug. She stared at me with a giant smile plastered on her lips. It was as if she won a lottery. "Congratulations sister-in-law.”She beamed, her palm resting on mine. I gave her a small smile, still not acquainted with the new discovery that made me rather speechless. "Thank you doctor.”Damien spoke, as he gave me a smile, which I reciprocated. The doctor ment
CHEMISTRY WITH A BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 82- SURPRISE
RYAN POV Moans and groans filled the four corners of the room. I watched their illicit act, each part of my body trembling and almost breaking. They were caught up in the sham of CONSUMMATION that they were oblivious to my presence. I simply looked on, my feet unable to move. I was beyond stunned. Finally, my assumption was proved right in front of me. My dad had been screwing with my wife for like forever. It stabbed me like a knife, at the betrayal. Evelyn's innocence had been lies all this while, yet I fell for it. I allowed her to jeopardize my relationship with Ariel. I savaged my College life, doing everything to please her. She had always claimed to be a virgin and that had been one major reason why our relationship hadn't gone past kissing, hugging and holding hands. But it was clear. She never loved me. She was only pretending. She only loved my father. I turned to leave, making a slight noise with my shoes, and it seemed to do the trick of distracting them. “Ryan…”
