One Night With The Billionaire

The both of them stared at each other in shock. Chase remembered the dream. Everything played fresh in his memory and he was afraid of the rest of the dream becoming a reality.

Amanda Smith glared at him. She was thinking about him without knowing he was standing next to her. What is going on here?

She remembered the past. How she was involved with Chase and became pregnant. How he urged and persuaded her for an abortion.

He transferred a large sum of money into her account and told her not to come before him again or return someday with some damn baby to blackmail him.

He is a Hudson. A billionaire and has power. But she’s a nobody. She had to hide away and carried her baby in her belly and gave birth to her without his knowledge.

She doesn’t have the ability or the name to fight him. Now, after a few years she met with him again. But she hopes he’s not the man who adopted her daughter?

From the words of the matron, she hopes her daughter hasn’t found herself in her real father’s family? She hopes Chase will not take her right away from her?

Rosalinda held Bella and glanced at her husband and the woman. Somehow, she guessed the woman was Bella’s mother. And from the surprise between them, she hopes she’s not one of Chase’s past women?

Amanda Smith turned and glanced at the matron, her eyes now popping out in fury “I want to meet the family who adopted my daughter as soon as possible” she requested, her tone filled with contempt.

The matron, to ease the tension in the air smiled broadly and said “I’m glad you both have known each other before” she beckoned to Bella to come over and continued “Miss Amanda Smith, this is your daughter, Bella”

“What?” Chase exclaimed.

Now, Rosalinda knows the whole scenario now. She’s a smart woman and can predict the end of their meeting with Amanda and assume the past as well.

She turned around briskly and held Bella’s hand. Took her to the car and ordered the chauffeur “Drive her home immediately and return to pick my husband and I”

She hastened him and the chauffeur made a move. The matron walked out with Amanda Smith and tried to stop whatever Rosalinda was doing but it was late. The chauffeur already zoomed off with Bella.

Chase has not been able to recover from the shock that he was experiencing at the moment. Amanda Smith is Bella’s mother?

Amanda used to be his girlfriend. She was pregnant. He gave her money to have an abortion. What happened?

Can Bella really be that child? She didn’t have an abortion back then? Then like a reality, he began to see the similarities between Bella and him, Eli and his brother.

She has Jace’s eyes and to some extent, has his complexion. But she’s more like his brother. He remembered seeing her reacting to nuts exactly like him.

He had wondered back then how his adopted daughter was taking after him. But she might not be his adopted daughter but his daughter biologically.

Then Rosalinda’s words earlier. She had told him that Bella looks like him. She had thought she’s his daughter in reality but he said she’s not. He had adopted her.

Then the dream. Amanda Smith was fighting with him physically and asking him to give her daughter back to her. No wonder he had been restless after he woke up.

Chase was still thinking about it when the matron returned to her office and said to Chase “Mr Hudson, your wife sent Bella away…”she was saying when Amanda stormed in.

“If that girl is my daughter, I want her back now!” She bellowed. Not to Chase but the matron. She doesn’t have any business with Chase at that moment but the management of the orphanage.

Rosalinda walked in and stood next to her husband, saying nothing. If she didn’t do that, there’s no way Bella would not be taken away from them.

“This is an orphanage. And we made it clear to you from the beginning that the girl’s parents might come for her someday. This is Miss Amanda Smith, Bella’s Smith mother.

I want her back or I might have to call the police to get her here and it won’t go well on your reputation, Mr Hudson” the matron explained.

Chase Hudson sighed softly. He turned to glance at Amanda Smith “Can I talk to you privately, Amanda?”he requested.

“I have nothing to talk to you about, Chase Hudson” Amanda Smith snapped at him. She glared at him with a killing intent and hissed between gritted teeth.

“You and I have a lot to talk about Amanda, especially as Bella’s biological parents,” Chase insisted. He was calm but strongly insisting.

The Matron squinted. What is happening? Is Chase Hudson Bella’s father? She glanced at Amanda Smith and the latter was fuming in rage.

“I don’t know you, Chase. How can you be related to my daughter?” Amanda asked, eyeing him. Bella’s biological parents. Who the hell does he think he is?

“I didn’t know before, but I know now. I am Bella’s father. And I think you and I have a lot to talk about. But if you insist that you don’t want to talk to me about her, then get a DNA test done and a good lawyer before you can get your daughter” Chase concluded.

He turned and glanced at the matron “I think you should be calm and let Amanda Smith and I talk about our daughter, please” he declared.

He wanted to move and Amanda Smith stood in his way, blocking it. Rosalinda stepped aside. This is about Chase and his daughter’s mother.

She knew it. She’d immediately suspected that Chase is Bella’s father from the day she saw them both together. Now, it’s a reality.

Chase just stared at her calmly. She’s right to be furious with him. She’s right to even slap him across the face. She’s right to say horrible words to him. Whatever she does to him, he deserves it.

But she shouldn’t take his daughter away from him. Whatever happens, she shouldn’t take the right of a father from him. Now that he knows Bella is his daughter, he’s not letting her go from him so easily.

“What’s the meaning of this, Amanda? Leave my way” he requested. This scene is similar to what he saw in his dream.

“Chase Hudson, give me my daughter! I will sue this orphanage and go to the media, asking everyone to hear my plight. So just give me back my daughter!” Amanda Smith bellowed.

Chase closed his eyes. That’s it. The words she spoke in his dream were exactly what she just said. This has become a reality.

“I think you both should talk about it as parents. We won’t appreciate this orphanage being scandalised in any way. And whatever you both are doing, put the best interest of Bella into consideration” the matron advised.

What the heck! She’d been working as a matron in the orphanage for several years now. She hadn’t experienced this kind of act, two parents meeting at the orphanage and contending with each other over a child.

It then means Chase Hudson didn’t know Bella was his daughter all along. They both would ruin her reputation as a great matron.

She’s a poor widow with two undergraduates to look after. If they could come to an agreement, it would be better for them all.

“I think Amanda needs this advice the most,” Chase stuttered.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“I think you need it the most, bastard,” Amanda cursed.
