Chapter 20: What went wrong

Book:Contracted By The Billionaire After Betrayal Published:2025-2-8

Without debating on the matter anymore, Jayden asked Raymond; “when are you planning to introduce our sister in law to us, or we are not that important to be known by her?” Jayden teased.
“That’s right big bro, when did you plan to introduce that hot chick that’s capable of making you lose control after five years of being chaste.” Nicholas also teased.
Not minding their teasing, Raymond said, “I will introduce her to you guys after we register our marriage.”
“What the f**k big brother, I thought you said it’s only contracted marriage, why did you need to go register the marriage in the registry.”
“Did you think I could fool my grandfather with a fake marriage? If he knew I’m married, he would investigate everything about how true the marriage is.”
“Even though, with your power in New York, you can make this look real without going to the registry.” Jayden said out loud.
Raymond’s emotions flared up hearing this. He stood up in anger and said to Jayden, “I want the marriage to look real and that’s final. Don’t always pretend like you know me well.”
After saying this, he turned and walked out of the private room. Seeing his furious back as he left the room, Jayden didn’t know when he burst out laughing.
No matter when they are all gathered together, it’s either Jayden or Raymond that always left in anger due to one reason or the other. Even Nicholas and Dylan knew that it’s these two that understand each other the most, but they are not ready to yield to each other.
“Jayden, why are you so annoying? You didn’t even let me hear the full gist before angering him. It’s like you are my enemy from my past life. Anytime I’m almost at the bottom of a matter, you always mess it up.”
Hearing the annoying voice of Nicholas, Jayden kicked him on his calf with his leg. “Just shut up and don’t annoy me further. Why don’t you think about this?”
“He can get any woman he wants since all these years to fulfil his father’s wish of him starting his own family, why is it that he wants to register his marriage with a stranger he doesn’t know, if there isn’t any attraction.”
“Have you forgotten the last time we drugged him, didn’t he get through the night without doing anything with the girl we sent to him, why did he suddenly lose his self control on this girl, if that’s not attraction, what else is it?”
“Don’t say that Jayden, the drug might be stronger than the one we used. What if it was the news of Ashley coming back to the country that triggered his urge for sex.”
“You are really hopeless.” Jayden spat out before storming out of the room. “Hey! Wait, come back and explain better if you want me to understand your point.” Nicholas shouted after Jayden.
Without turning back, Jayden left the club house. “I now know the reason why big brother always finds you annoying.” He cursed out loud. Seeing that he is the only one left in the club house, he decided he can’t come here without having fun.
Ringing the room bell, he ordered for some female escort to come and serve him. He also sees this as an opportunity to check out the new escort in heaven’s club.

Outside Heaven’s club.
A man could be seen bending his back to enter the back seat of his car.
“Hey Raymond! Wait.” Jayden came out of the club house with the intention of going back to his apartment, but he sees Raymond preparing to enter his luxurious “Rolls Royce” at that moment.
Hearing that familiar voice calling his name, Raymond did as if he didn’t hear anything. He entered his car but he didn’t close the door.
Seeing that stubborn behaviour of his, even though he didn’t wait outside the car, he still waited inside the car for him. Shaking his head, he approached him.
“Why are you being so childish, you left just because of what I said. Is it that you can’t accept the truth or what?”
Without listening further to his nonsense, Raymond said, “you don’t know me that well, so stop acting like you know everything about me.” He signals the driver through the car’s side mirror. Understanding what he meant, the driver took off immediately.
Looking at the car becoming smaller, Jayden spat out; “you are also hopeless. I hope it’s not too long before you understand.”
He also left to get his car before driving out.

Another private room in heaven’s club
On a table full of all sorts of alcoholic wine, a hand could be seen picking up a bottle of wine as he opened it and drank from the bottle directly.
He had been here for more than two hours drinking himself to stupor. He had been thinking about what might have gone wrong for someone who had already fallen into his trap to escape.
He hadn’t been able to know the reason why Lina would disagree on marrying him today. Everything was going perfectly, just a word from her and he would have achieved what he had been working on for three years now.
He looked unkempt as he drank from the wine bottle in his hand. He had never felt a shame like this in his life. How can someone who is smitten by him reject him in front of the whole world? He still can’t get why.
Not more than two minutes later, a girl can be seen rushing into the room as her face was full of panic. She had been looking for Daniel for more than two hours now.
She had checked everywhere she knew he might be but she didn’t see him. Who would have thought he would be here drinking himself to stupor because of that b**ch.
“Daniel! Why are you doing this to yourself, did you know all the stress I’ve gone through to look for you. Just because my sister rejected you didn’t mean you should be here drinking.” The girl said to him gently. Hearing that voice soothed Daniel’s restless heart.
“All we should be thinking now is how we will get back at her for all the shame we passed through because of her today, or don’t you want her to also go through this pain you are suffering now.”
