Arianna’s family was falling apart and facing a tragic demise, however, her heart sank when she clearly saw Travis Cooper’s name on the acquisition papers. She had no choice but to negotiate with him.
Arianna lowered her head and relaxed her shoulders to ease the tension. She should show him gratefulness to make him happier, she thought, but she just couldn’t do it.
“How would you be willing to leave my grandfather alone?”
He casually poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her before replying, “I think the correct person to ask is the judge, no? The offenders are usually punished. This is a matter of justice, isn’t it?”
Arianna was beginning to grow tired of his mood swings.
“He is old, and his body is failing him. He would not last long in prison.” Arianna continued to try to sway him.
“What can I do? I always admire devoted children.” His voice carried some ridicule, “But I’m not a charity. I only do transactions with interests. What would you do in exchange for the freedom of your grandfather?”
Travis intertwined the fingers of his one hand with the other and rested his hands on his stomach as he leaned back in his chair once more. His expression was a bit lazy, “Since you entered this door, I’ve been waiting for the drama of you selling your body and soul to me in order to save your family member.”
When Arianna didn’t reply, Travis explicitly said, “Maybe I’m just bored. I’d like to try something fun.”
Arianna’s stomach felt like it flipped. She looked at the handsome face that was now showing evil.

Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

That day, wearing only his big shirt, Arianna washed the blood out of the bedsheet.


They sat outside in the night together and watched the sheet float in the night breeze. She smiled shyly and said, “I really washed the bedsheet. I thought it was your way of flirting.”


Travis tucked her blowing hair behind her ear, sliding his fingers down her neck from her ear to clavicle. He fiddled with her necklace. Her body trembled slightly.


His voice was like a whistling wind, “I don’t lie. I like to be honest. I even said to myself, if I had the luck of meeting you for a second time, I would not let you go.”


Arianna thought more than once about whether she was too stupid or if he was too clever when she believed his words as a genuine confession of love.


It was also a full moon night when Arianna spent her first day with Travis. The moon spotted the ground with the shadows of trees, which kept moving in the wind.


She suddenly felt uneasy. Arianna stood up and said, “I should go home.”
