Hate To Love You My Billionaire Lover

The sanatorium director did not tell Arianna any details about the funding that covered her grandfather’s medical expenses. She was hoping to redirect the money to another patient and cover her grandfather’s expenses herself.

The director was an old friend of Arianna’s family. He told her, “Don’t take this so seriously. It’s a blessing. The donor has a family member with a similar condition to your grandfather’s. They’ve requested to cover the cost of similar individuals in the name of research.”

He continued, “If you wish to decline the support, the money will be withdrawn and not used by other patients. So, Arianna, if you have a burning desire to spend your money, you can save up to help others.”

“The only thing I can do for my grandfather is paying his medical bills. Now I’m not even needed for this. My presence means nothing to him.” She responded sorrowfully.

Arianna’s salary was average for any white-collar worker. It was more than enough to support herself, but it could not cover the expenses of her grandfather simultaneously.

Fortunately, her family left her with a deposit. She had used this money to pay for Mr. Sanchez, but there was not much of it left.

She was not very good at financial management. She had some stocks in her name, but she did not know how to work the market. The stock was now the only connection between her and her once-famous family business. She didn’t want to sell that connection anyway.

As for the money from Travis Cooper, Arianna decided she would never use it. After some time, Travis began to know her and stopped giving her money. He instead replaced it with fine jewelry. Arianna didn’t have the guts to say no to those as well.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

She took the director up on his suggestion and inquired if there were any families struggling to support a loved one’s expenses. She was more than willing to make a contribution.

Arianna usually rated herself with the following terms on days like this; using a nice word, she is tough; using a neutral word, she is numb; using a mean word, she is emotionless.

She feels like she has been through a lot and is afraid of nothing. But it took a long time before she was like this. From the outside, she never seemed to have changed.

When Arianna went to university far from home, she lived and studied like other students. She did well in school, had good looks, and an excellent charisma. However, she never participated in group activities, did not become friends with fellow female students, and rarely spoke to boys.

Typically, she ate and studied alone. She rarely did anything for entertainment. Nevertheless, this cold-beauty style of hers caught the attention and curiosity of many boys. Many tried hard to date her, and none succeeded.

Arianna found peace gradually. The boys began to leave her alone, realizing there were other beautiful girls at the university too.

However, there was a handsome and talented boy who managed to stay. He came from a good family and was essentially a celebrity on campus. He tried everything he could to figure her out and evade her defense mechanisms. After a few months, they eventually began dating.

At that time, Arianna had issues getting along with others. Though she tried hard to overcome it, she was too different from others to fit in easily. She was beginning to get lonely.

But the boy was patient with her. She was willing to give him a chance, though it was really herself getting the chance at companionship, despite never being in love with him.

Except the boy got carried away with his victory over the other boys. He kissed Arianna with intoxicated breath and touched her body up and down. She didn’t want the relationship to develop so fast. She had to stab him with a hairpin to free herself when she failed to get out of his grasp.

Though the wound was not deep, the hairpin was sharp. The situation escalated for several months after that. Her lawyer insisted that she was acting in self-defense, but the boy’s lawyer argued that she deliberately wanted to hurt his client even though she was the one who called the ambulance and police.

The matter was finally settled, but Arianna didn’t want to go back to school. She didn’t want to face the rumors and dirty looks she’d get from people who had heard the story. And she especially didn’t want to get close to men.

Her family was developing thoughts of their own. They now believed that she was mentally different from ordinary people. Her parents pushed her to receive a long period of psychological treatment, where the psychologists insisted that ‘Miss Jenkins is anything but normal.

After several months and endless psychological treatment, Arianna returned to school. She slowly recovered in a well-known women’s college with a strong religious atmosphere.

She enjoyed going to a women’s college for that reason. There was no harassment from men looking to date her and no pressure to figure out which of them weren’t spoiled.

Additionally, many of the women at the college were like Arianna. They minded their own business and were not big partiers. She even joined a world religions club.

With each passing day, Arianna became more and more calm and quiet. Her parents and grandfather would visit her every few months. They could see that she was returning to her old self.

But Arianna was noticing things too.

Her grandfather was becoming senile. The vertical stripe between her father’s eyebrows was growing deeper. Her mother was looking duller and duller. Though their conversations were light and meaningless, she was beginning to be concerned.

The family business never needed her help, and her new degree was very unrelated to it. She knew her future mission was only to marry a man chosen by her family. She had no plans to resist.

Despite their visits, Arianna was disconnected from her family. When the news of her parents’ death arrived, she did not even cry. She was too afraid to shed a tear as she did not know what this meant for her and her future.

However, by this time, she had earned her degree and was working for the college.
