The Billionaire’s Son Chose Me!

Arya returned back home feeling like a million bucks after visiting the beauty parlor..

She threw herself on one of the soft couches and relaxed back..

Her smile suddenly washed off once she realized something..

“Is Kyle trying to pass an indirect message to me? why else did he send me to the beauty parlor? does he think I’m ugly?” She questioned herself..

“Arya!”

Ray’s voice brought her out of her thought, she turned her head towards him and smiled, she couldn’t make it on time to pick him up from school..

Without any prior notice, he jumped into her laps planting small kisses on her cheeks..

“I missed you so much Arya..”

Arya chuckled and pulled his cheeks softly “Oh, you look so excited what’s up?”

Ray hopped down from her laps and pulled off his backpack, he placed it next to Arya and stood in front of her..

“Of course I am.. everyone is talking about attending daddy’s party.. and some of my friends will be there too..”

Arya smiled, seeing the excitement on his face was priceless, however the next word he said made her gloomy..

“I can’t wait to show you off to my friends.. I’ll show everyone who my beautiful mummy is at the party tonight.. you’re coming right? please say yes” Ray beamed..

Arya forced a smile at him, how was she supposed to tell Ray that she wasn’t attending the said party..

Vanessa is the one to pose as Kyle’s date tonight, she knew how upset he’ll be by the news once he finds out about it.

“Umm Ray.. let’s get you out of your school uniform first and then we will talk about other things later on”

Arya turned to Ray who was on a video call with one of his friends, she opened his closet looking for a suitable outfit for him to wear to the party organized by his dad..

“Of course I’ll bring her along.. she’s very nice and sweet and I like her sooo much”

She smiled when she heard him speak but sadly, she wasn’t going to attend..

“Umm Ray what do you think about this?”

Arya asked holding out a black little tuxedo and a white tuxedo..

Ray rested his gaze on the outfit she picked out for his, he stroked his chin finding it a little too hard to choose..

“I can’t decide”

Arya stared back and forth between the two and eventually picked the black tuxedo..

“I think I like this better” Arya declared and placed back the white tuxedo into the closet..

“Yeah I like it too.. see that Cathy I told you all my mummy was the most considerate and charming”

Hearing the word ‘mummy’ from him seemed to pull several strings in her heart..

Kyle looked around the oddly quiet room, he glanced at his golden wrist watch, it was almost five in the evening..

Soon after a series of giggles disrupted the once silent living room, he followed the giggles and it led him up to his room..

“Daddy you’re here!” Ray called out staring at his dad’s reflection in the mirror..

Kyle flashed his son a small smile and averted his gaze to Arya..

“You’re not ready?”

Arya raised a brow while she combed Ray’s hair gently..

“Huh? don’t worry I’m almost done with him..”

Kyle raised a brow at her answer “I was talking about you”

Arya’s heart skipped a beat, her? what has she gotten to do with all of these?

“Umm.. You’re going with Vanessa not me.. don’t worry I’ve already made my plans”

Ray who was standing on the stool in front of the vanity table turned to the two when he heard what Arya said..

“What? Vanessa? daddy is this true?”

“Hang on Ray I’ll sought this out” Kyle assured and pulled Arya to a distance out of Ray’s hearing reach..

“Didn’t Mia say anything to you?”

Arya shook her head slowly, what was wrong with these siblings? Mia also said the same thing too..

Kyle walked to the closet and pulled it open, he brought out the gold colored box and returned back to her..

“Put this on, I have to get changed too”

Arya stared at the box confusedly, doesn’t this belong to Vanessa?

“But Vanessa is your date..

Kyle glared at her sharply “Says who? as far as I remember I never said such..”

He said with a small smirk after which he picked Ray up in his arms and left the room..

Arya’s mind went blank staring at the box on her hands, now she understood why he asked Mia to take her to the beauty parlor.. it was her all along.. a small grin spread on her lips and turned into a wide smile..

Vanessa paced around her room, an hour to the party and Kyle hasn’t called her to talk about the dress, Heaven knows how she had bragged a lot to her friends that she was going to wear the flying princess dress tonight..

She spent all day at the spa to make her skin glow for tonight but Kyle’s phone was out of reach..

What on earth was she supposed to do now?..

Lora walked in hurriedly into the room, she stopped on her tracks when she saw Vanessa wasn’t ready at all..

Vanessa turned to the hurrying footstep behind her and her face fell a bit, she thought it was one of Kyle’s servant who has come to deliver her dress..

Lora was one of the people who she endlessly bragged to about how Kyle got her the dress which costs millions..

“You’re not ready yet?” Lora asked with a concerned look on her face..

Vanessa sighed “Kyle hasn’t called yet and he’s still with the dress Lora”

Lora was taken aback by Vanessa’s answer, she could feel that something wasn’t right with this whole set up..

As if realizing something she turned to Vanessa with a worried expression etched on her face..

“How are you so sure that he got the dress for you?”

“I accompanied him to the mall yesterday where my measurements were taken”

Lora nodded and urged her to continue “Then?”

Vanessa tried hard to remember what else happened, she was too overwhelmed to think straight yesterday after Kyle bought the dress for her..

“Wait! I remember him telling the manager to adjust the dress by a few inches..”

Lora raised a brow “But why?”

Vanessa took in a deep breath and released it after some time..

“Because he said the more it glued to the body the better it will look” Vanessa murmured..

Lora fell into a deep thought, her eyes grew large when she got the whole thing right..

“Of course! your figure is almost the same as Arya’s, he used your measurements for her and adjusted the dress by a few inches because you’re a bit.. you know?..” Lora concluded and once she was done speaking, she saw a pang of hate and anger that flashed past Vanessa’s eyes at that moment..This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Vanessa slumped on the chair lost in thoughts, what Lora said all makes total sense, she slapt her forehead in anger..

“I’ve made a total fool of myself! the flying princess was never meant for me.. but for that little cook!”

Lora bent in front of Vanessa to comfort her “Don’t you dare sulk Vanessa! if you want to vent out your anger then you’ll do as I say! go get ready we have a party to attend”

Vanessa stared down at Lora who had a slanted grin on her lips..

***

Arya’s eyes widened in shock as she stared at herself in the mirror, she turned around still staring at her reflection in the mirror to be sure she wasn’t seeing things..

“The flying princess” her mouth moved like a breathless whisper..

The blue dress was a masterpiece crafted from the finest silk and adorned with an intricate hand-beaded embroidery that shimmers like diamonds whenever a ray of light falls on it..

The gown’s hue was a deep rich cerulean reminiscent of a summer sky at dusk.

Its flowing, floor-length design draped elegantly across her body with a fitted boned bodice that cinched at her waist accentuating her curves.

The door was suddenly pushed open without a knock and Mia stood rooted to the ground immediately she stepped in..

Her eyes nearly popped out of its sockets when her eyes caught sight of what Arya was putting on..

Arya turned to her with a small smile “Mia be honest.. is this really the dress called the flying princess?”

Mia suddenly snapped out of her daze and walked closer to Arya, she marveled at the dress she had always wanted to get ever since she heard of it..

“Oh my God! that is the flying princess! you look stunning in it Arya! like it was made just for you” Mia shrieked out in excitement while going around Arya..

***

Ray turned his gaze back to his dad who was on a phone call..

It’s been a while and Arya wasn’t down yet, he didn’t want to delay anymore, he needed to show her to all his friends..

Just then a soft click against the polished marbled floor gained the attention of the father and son..

Kyle turned around briefly to take a look behind him, his heart skipped a beat as soon as he saw Arya coming down from the stairs in a flowing blue dress..
