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

Arianna’s heart sank. He didn’t seem to be feeling very sympathetic today.


She dropped her gaze in disappointment, then looked back at him with sorrow in her eyes. Arianna said, “Your father died because he was in trouble. My dad died in nearly the same situation. My mother... she committed suicide right after his death. My uncle did the same, just many years before her.”


Arianna took a slow breath before continuing, “Now, my grandfather, Mr. Sanchez, lost his son, daughter, wife, and son-in-law in his late years. He is all alone, and the family business he devoted his life to is crumbling before him. I’m the only one he has left, and I need to help him. Is his situation not enough to lessen your hatred?”


Her voice began to shake, “I know there’s an immeasurable amount of resentment between our families, but please, just let him be. After all, he didn’t take his share of the takeovers and liquidation over the years, which is also why you got the chance to sit here today.”
