The Idiotic Billionaire novel Chapter 10

"I don't want to be here," Cainan grumbles, holding onto Samantha's hand as they stroll through the guest present at the party. Some faces are familiar and some aren't, but they all seem to have one thing in common, they are all old, just like Hugo.

Everyone here would probably be dead in ten years including Hugo and if wishes came true, Hugo's ten years would be tonight. He knew that is a horrible thing to wish someone but he can't help it.

A few grandpa's here had young ladies in their arms and he wonders bastards poor bastards did they snatch them from he would bet all his money that most of these women were here because they loved these men, they were probably enticed by their riches

Clara is a thirty-five-year-old woman married to a sixty-six-year-old man and if that doesn't irk Cainan's skin, nothing else would. It's probably obvious to the world and him she married him for his money, but he knows he wouldn't have complained if she had waited and married him for his own money.

"Well, we are showing support. Besides, don't you want them to come one day for our wedding anniversary party?" Samantha's voice pulls him out of his thoughts.

Cainan doesn't answer. No, he acts like he didn't hear what she just said from the much noise in the hall. Samantha is a great woman, he knows that, but she's just not the type he'd ever want to settle down with. It might sound selfish, but making a home with her just isn't part of the future he sees. He will not be satisfied with her and will definitely cheat and she will kill him when she finds out. None of them wants that.

'You saw a future with Clara, always have, look where that has brought you.' His mind scolds him.

"Hey, I'm glad you could make it," Hugo says joyfully, walking to where Cainan and Samantha now are.

"She convinced me to come. By the way, meet my girlfriend Samantha, apparently, she is a friend of Clara." She introduces trying to avoid Clara's eyes as much as he can.

They exchange handshakes, "Very nice to finally meet you, sir."

"You too, Sam," he says before turning to Cainan "well I'm glad you came, son."

Cainan cracks up a little, he does not mean it being loud, but he can't help it, "Did you hear what he just called me? Son! Goddamn, he's right, he's old enough to be my father and that's a fact."

Clara presses her lips together and tries not to show any resentments towards Cainan's childish attitude.

"Well thanks again for coming, I hope one day you find a woman who will love you and treat you right just like Clara does me." Hugo smiles, causing wrinkles to settle on the side of his face.

Cainan would have made another sarcastic reply, but Hugo's head dips and he takes Clara's lips between his, deeply and passionately kissing her in their presence.

Cainan teeth clench and as he sees Clara move in discomfort and he looks away immediately for the fear of going between them and pulling them apart and punching him in the face.

Hugo pulls away and wraps his arms around Clara's waist possessively, "Have fun kids," he says with a twisted smile before walking away.
