Betrothed To The Cold Billionaire

“I wanted to make things clear between us because Sandy…” He paused while Sandy mentally screamed for him to continue talking. She was getting really impatient.

“Nothing would ever happen between us.” Sandy’s heart shattered into a million pieces the moment she heared that.

“What are you saying??” Sandy croaked out in shock. It was as if a sharp blade had been pierced through her heart.

“What I’m saying is that you need to end whatever feelings you are harboring for me because I’ll never be able to reciprocate it back to you.”

“But.”

“Sandy, don’t make it harder than it already is. Whatever you have for me is just a crush and nothing more…” Sandy had the urge to scream out to him that she was deeply in love with him but she couldn’t say anything.

It was as if she had gone numb. She couldn’t even try to explain things to him. He didn’t even let her talk.

“I hope you would stop crushing on me because I’ll never be able to give you what you want.” With that said, he stood up.

“Let Ariel know that I left early. Goodbye Sandy.” He gave her one last smile before he went towards the receptionist and paid for what they ordered. Then, he left the cafe.

Sandy could only watch in sadness as he left without even giving her one last glance. When he was no longer in sight, she stood up shakily. At that time, Ariel had finally arrived from the restroom.

She had a very playful smile on her face as she walked towards Sandy. She was hoping for some good news. Her smile vanished when she noticed Hillary wasn’t there anymore.

“Where’s Hillary??” She asked Sandy but didn’t get any response from her.

She turned to see Sandy staring into space like someone that had lost something very dear to her. Well, she did loose someone dear without even getting to tell him how she felt.

“Sandy…” Ariel called in concern.

“What’s wrong??” She asked as she placed her hands on Sandy’s shoulder but Sandy still didn’t reply.

She walked out of the cafe like a walking corpse while Ariel followed behind her. Trying to know what was wrong. Sandy had walked a few distance from the cafe before she finally broke down.

She crouched on her knees and she started shedding tears that she had been trying very hard to hold back while Hilllary was leaving.

“What happened Sandy? Why are you crying?” Aruel asked as she crouched also so she could match Sandy’s level.

“H.. he… rejected me..” She stuttered out.

“What??” Ariel said in shock.

“Even before I could confess to him. He called my love for him just a crush.” Samdy said as more tears kept pouring down her eyes.

“He really did that??” Ariel asked as her voice was mixed with disbelief. She was well aware that Hillary wasn’t really into Samdy like that but she never thought he would reject her this fast and still leave her all alone.

She heart broke as she watched Sandy break down in tears. Even though it was her brother that did that, she still couldn’t help but feel disappointed in him.

Thankfully, no one was around where they were if not, it would be the headline of every news the next morning.

“Come on.” Ariel said as she helped Sandy to her feet.

“Stop shedding tears for that douchebag. He doesn’t deserve them.” She said as she helped her wipe her tears.

“Douchebag?? But he’s your brother.” Sandy muttered as she sniffed slowly.

“It doesn’t matter if he makes you cry like this. Don’t waste your tears on him. You are still so young and beautiful, you’ll still find someone that can treat you like the princess you are.” Ariel consoled.

“I doubt I would ever be able to do so. I love him so much. He has always been the one I have eyes for. It can’t just change like that.”

“It can only if you let it. You see, up to last week, Lucas was the only one in my heart but now, I hate him. I can’t even bare the sight of him.” Ariel said as her face scrunched up in disgust and that made Sandy chuckle.

“It’s quite different you know.”

“How so?” Asked Ariel.

“Lucas cheated on you and that is a very valid reason for you to stop loving him like you used to.” Sandy explained.

“What about Hillary? He rejected you and threw your feelings for him at your face after terming it a crush. Isn’t that enough for you to get angry??” Ariel asked.

“I know but…”

“No buts. It’s the same thing. Your problem and mine are not really different. Just think about it that way and you’ll eventually forget that you used to be in love with him.” Ariel adviced.

“Are you sure??” Sandy asked hopefully. She really hoped that it was true. She really wanted to forget that she once loved him. She didn’t want to continue bearing this pain that had formed a deep hole in her heart.

“Yes, and you’ll find the right one when the time comes so don’t loose hope now.” Ariel said as she helped her to arrange her long brown hair.

“You’re right. I mean, I’m beautiful, gorgeous and smart. I have a lot of guys waiting in line to get the chance to at least go on a date with me. I can’t let a small rejection weigh me down. I can always get someone else, if I want.” Samdy said as she tried to form a happy and genuine smile on her face.

“Yes. That’s the spirit girl!!” Ariel said with a proud smile dancing on her lips.

“Now give me a very bright smile.” She demanded and Sandy chuckled.

“You look more gorgeous when you smile. Now, try to forget all that had happened today and don’t let it weigh you down. Tomorrow’s always going to be better.” Ariel adviced as she engulfed her in a warm hug.

“It feels really weird to be receiving advice from you of all people.” Sandy said when she had finally been able to keep her emotions at bay.

“Just enjoy it while it lasts baby. Don’t ruin the moment.” Ariel warned, making Sandy chuckle again.

They were still in each others arms for more minutes before they finally pulled away from each other.

**************************************

It was almost eight in the night when I got home. I was with Sandy through out today. After we left the cafe, we went out together to have fun. I did that only to make sure Sandy was really okay before I headed home.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

I was really disappointed in Hillary. He didn’t even give the poor girl a chance to at least get to know her more and maybe, they might finally hit off. He just rejected her coldly.

I have been trying to call him since but he hasn’t been picking my calls. It was as if he knows that I was going to scold him badly. Well, he’s safe for today but there’s always tomorrow.

The servants around came towards my car and helped me carry the gifts Hillary gave to me. They put it in my room while I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water. I was really famished.

When I had my fill, I went to my room. The servants had already dropped my things and left. I opened the door and noticed that the room was dark. Why would they put off the light when they knew I was still coming?? Idiots.

I turned on the light bulb and entered the room. All that was on my mind now was to pull off my clothes and take a very refreshing shower before I’ll go to sleep as I was very tired.

I was about taking off my blouse when the door was pushed open with force. Who’s that idiot that pushed it open?? I wanted to lash out at whoever it was when I saw Adrian wheeling himself in.

I composed myself quickly and held my tongue.

“Good evening.” I greeted but he didn’t answer me. He was giving me a very cold and angry look.

“Where were you??” He asked. Why was he asking me such questions?? Since when has my whereabouts been his problem??

“I went to see my friend.” I answered.

He gave me a dead look before he bursted out laughing. Something wasn’t normal about this type of laughter. It sounded like an angry one and that gave me chills.

“Your friend??” He asked again, rather mockingly.

“Yes.” I answered.

“Wow… I never knew you were this shameless.” He muttered under his breath but loud enough so I could hear him.

What the hell is wrong with him?? First he barged in my room and now he’s insulting me.

“Why are you acting like this??” I couldn’t help but ask.

“Do you think you have the right to ask me that dumb question you fucking slut?!?” He screamed at the top of his voice and that made me shiver in fear.

What is seriously wrong with him? Why is he suddenly acting like a psycho??

“What did I do to you that you’re acting this way to me?” I asked. I didn’t want to offend him but his insults were getting too brutal. At least, I deserved to know why he’s suddenly acting like this.

“You seriously want to act like you don’t know why I’m angry.”

“I don’t need to act because I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Oh really??”

“Yeah..”

“Fine then. I’ll tell you. I saw you today.” I stared at him in confusion. Saw me? When?

“I saw you today with your lover…” I stared at him in surprise when he said that. What the fuck is he yammering about??
