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

To Arianna, traveling was usually a process of disappointment rather than amazement and relaxation - especially on this trip. When she was in close contact with the ancient and mysterious country of her dreams, it felt like watching the defects of the moon through an astronomical telescope. The city was crowded, messy, and disorderly. It was far from her beautiful expectations.


Maybe because Travis was by her side, she was in a bad mood. If she had traveled alone, she might have actually enjoyed it.


Travis was there for business, and he often disappeared for hours. When there were no official duties, he tried to play the part of a good companion. He took her to a few places that he thought Arianna might have wanted to see.


Arianna didn’t mind his disappearances. She would rather watch TV in the hotel room every day than be close to him in crowds and be hugged by his arms as if they were true lovers.
