Enticing the notorious billionaire

Chapter 4



"How's your darling husband?" winked Gwen as Aria and she walked walked to the library. Aria looked at Gwen angrily.

At least she tried. "Oh, I can see" Gwen pointed to the hickey, smirking. "Can you get over that?" Aria groaned as Gwen chuckled.

"Library?" Gwen scrunched. "Hey!!" Aria nudged her and she chuckled. "Yeah, whatever! You love books" she said. "These many?" gasped Gwen.

"There's a bigger library in the other house" Aria chuckled. "Cool. Can we go upstairs, George and your love are up there too" Gwen smirked.

"Where?" Aria asked. "Gym" shrugged Gwen. "There's a gymnasium?" Aria asked and Gwen's lips parted.

"You didn't discover the house yet?" Gwen asked and Aria shook her head, as they walked up the stairs.

"Thomas isn't letting you out of bed, at all?" she smirked and Aria gasped. "Lady! That's enough okay!" Aria looked serious.

Gwen nodded slowly and burst out laughing. Aria couldn't hold back her laughter and joined Gwen.

"Aria, don't get pregnant too soon" Gwen winked.

"Gwen! George said he was getting you pregnant" Aria teased and Gwen gasped. "No!! So not happening" Gwen shook her head as they entered the gymnasium.

"Huge!!" Aria mumbled. "These are the richest young men" winked Gwen and Aria chuckled.

"Goodnight" George said, smirking at Gwen who chuckled. "Goodnight George" Aria tapped on his shoulder and he smirked.

"I'll just be back" Aria smiled as she walked down the stairs. "George" Thomas called and he rose a brow.

"I better not hear anything in the night" Thomas spoke ensuring Gwen couldn't hear.

George smirked. "I doubt mine will be as loud as yours" George winked and Thomas smacked his head. Thomas smirked at the thought.

"Where are you off to?" Henry asked, when she exited the kitchen. "It's chilling cold! Made tea" she shrugged, holding a tray full of tea cups.

"You should have told us" he looked offended. "Come on! Are you a workaholic? Just enjoy" she said, handing him a cup.

He smiled at the kind gesture. "You are one of a kind" he smiled. "Yeah, I've read that line on the back of a classmate book" she chuckled as she walked ahead.

"The tea is wonderful, thank you" he spoke loudly as she was exiting the door. She smiled back at him and walked out.

"Hello there" she smiled at the gardener who was walking away. She could hear him groan and curse. Rude!!

She dismissed the thought as she walked up to him. "Tea?" she asked, showing him the tray.

His eyes widened but he scoffed. "Nah! I don't drink!!" he said.

Man, are you kidding me?!

"It's just hot tea" she smiled and he shook his head. "I've not spiked it" she chuckled, trying to lighten the air.

"You a maid?" he asked, eyeing her dress. "Do I look like one?" she asked, smiling. "Ne! Why you giving me tea?!" he asked, scowling.

"The weather is cold and hot tea is perfect" she tried. "Who are you?" he asked.

Can you just not take the tea?! And stop with all those questions.

"Tea" she smiled, as she handed him the cup. "I didn't ask for it" he growled.

"But I made it. Whether you like it or not, drink it up!" she said, not sounding rude.

That surprised her as well. "You need a doctor" he said, sipping the tea. She smiled in anticipation. "Great tea, lass" he said and she smiled brightly.

"Thank you" she smiled. "What's your name though?" she asked. "Elias" he said as he enjoyed the tea.

"Well, see you around Elias" she smiled. "Tell me who ye are" he said as she walked ahead. "Aria" she smiled.

"Aria.." he prompted, wanting to know her full name. "Williams" she smiled and suddenly stopped.

"Um.. Not Williams anymore actually" she mumbled, but he heard. "What's yer last name?" he asked.

"King" Thomas came around, smirking. She looked at him and narrowed her eyes. "Aria Thomas King" he said and the gardner gasped.

Thomas was just waiting for a chance to say Aria Thomas King. "Ye are master's wife, ma'am?" he asked.

"Oh please Elias. Call me Aria" she said as she sped off. Thomas smirked, following her. "Old man" she beamed and he smiled, looking at her.

"Tea" she smiled as she handed him a cup. "Thank you, dear child. Why take the pains?" he asked.

"Just for you, old man. You shooed me away earlier, I'm just trying to bribe you into letting me hang around" she shrugged, a fake smirk playing at her lips.

"Bribe? You're too loved to commit such a crime" he chuckled, as he drank the tea. "Henry and his men cook wonderfully" Mr. Roof said.

"I made it myself" she said proudly. "Hmm?" he asked as he drank. "Yup" she smiled.

"Well, go inside young lady. Don't want you catching cold, do we?" he asked and she clicked her tongue.

"I'm here to warm her up" smirked Thomas and she gasped. "I fully understand what you mean!!" she hissed and he winked.

"No one can fool you, can they?" he chuckled. "Thank you young lady" Mr. Roof said and she took back the cup.

"See ya" she said as she glared at Thomas before walking away. "She's a wonderful girl" Mr. Roof smiled at Thomas.

He nodded and smiled, looking at her sway slightly as she walked.

"Good night, Mr. Thomas" Mr. Roof said and Thomas nodded as he walked. "Mr. Roof" he called as he walked ahead.

"Good night" Thomas said as he walked away. "Thomas King saying Good night, a wonder indeed" said Mr. Roof to himself.

"Accept it or not, he is chamging for good, because of that young lady he married" he shook his head as he sat back in the chair, in the small square cabin.

"No tea for me?" he asked and she narrowed her eyes at him. "You need to stop" she said.

"I would love it if you were a little more specific" he smirked.

"Every word you utter has a different meaning to it, I know" she hissed and he smirked. "Demonstrate" he said as he held the door for her.

"You just said that you would warm me up" she spat. "What's the problem with that, it's plain and simple" he said.

"No, you implied something else" she looked at him. "It's simple. I just implied I'll warm you up, as we go to bed" he smirked.

"See only one meaning, I'll warm you up in the night" he winked and she gasped, looking away.

"You You.." she was searching for a perfect insult. "You blood suck.." she started and he clicked his tongue.

"Blood sucking vampire is done. Scratch that off the list" he smirked.

"You, deer eating, fleshy, monster eyed, insufferable crocodile!!" she hissed and he laughed.

"That's new" he smirked. "Go to hell" she hissed, walking away.
