"I'm sorry Ariel, I never knew that happened years ago. Just like how we met, I was drugged. Can you ever forgive me?" Dylan questioned with a little warmth in his eyes. Ariel sighed, she didn't know how to feel. Finding out he was the father of her child from the past 3 years, was a shock to her. "Just give me some time to decide... I can't say anything now." Ariel responded and walked away.
View MoreThe party soon ended and it was time to go. Though Dylan and Ariel had to leave the party early after all the drama."I'm sorry for all that happened today. It was my fault. I should have introduced you to my family earlier. If I had, they would have been so startled to see you," he said as they sat in his car and drove down the road that cool evening.Ariel adjusted the strap of her gown that had come undone when Charity had fought her earlier."It's not your fault. You didn't know I was going to be at the party. Besides, I don't think introducing me to them would have changed anything. Your grandfather is hellbent on rejecting me. I don't think the rest of your family will accept me either," she said, looking out of the window.Dylan looked at her. The cool evening breeze hit their faces as Dylan had kept the windows half open and put the AC on. He usually didn't do this. He usually rode in his car with the windows up and the AC on. But he had noticed after the few times Ariel had b
Charity stared at Dylan and Ariel with hatred and envy. Dylan was hers. How dare that little bitch to snatch him from her? Who was she?! Where did she come from?! What was her plot?! What was her aim?!That day Dylan had introduced the woman to her, she should have done something about it. Did this bitch think she'd just let the love of her life go like that?This witch had snatched her potential boyfriend from her, and she was sure it had been deliberate.Charity took a glass of beer, emptied its contents, and walked to the dancing couple."Hi, handsome," she said when she got there.The dancing couple stopped and looked at her. Charity ignored Ariel's stare and waved at Dylan."How are you enjoying the party? I thought you wouldn't come since I didn't see you on time.""Well, I arrived early but I stepped outside for a few minutes to discuss with my fiancee. I hope you are enjoying the party as well," said Dylan.Fiancee? That again? She won't let this happen."Of course I am.""Wha
Charity Richard arrived at the party a few minutes later. Entering the hall with her friend Yvonne, she noticed something was off as the atmosphere at the party did not seem like it normally was. So she just brushed off the atmosphere and started looking for her beloved Dylan.That show he put on at the restaurant had not fazed her. She knew it was just a show and that he was not getting married to anyone else but her. All the rumors about his having a new woman were a lie as well. Why would Dylan want anyone aside from her? They were a match made in heaven.Besides, her beloved father Cole Richard had assured her that she was going to get married to Dylan whether he liked it or not. Her father loved her too much and would do anything for her.Cole Richard, her father, was Grandpa Grey's best friend. They both met in the military in their younger days and became very close friends. Returning from the military to take over their respective family businesses, they established business p
Ariel's eyes widened when she saw Grandfather Grey arrive with a group of people, with Dylan right beside him and Marcus at his side.She was so shocked by this sight that she took a step back."It can't be. You are the daughter of the Grey family? That Grey family?" she asked Kira again."Yeah, I thought I told you before.""You didn't!""Well, now you know. Why are you so agitated?"Ariel's eyes fell on Dylan, looking dashing as ever. So this was the event he had been talking about that he could not miss. She could not believe it had been the same event.So Kira was the cousin of her baby daddy?! What in the world?"Come, I've been wanting to introduce you to my family!" Kira said, grabbing Ariel's hand and pulling her along."Huh?"No! No! She didn't want Dylan to see her! And most especially Grandfather Grey!But it was too late, as Kira had already pulled Ariel towards the family, introducing her to them. Ariel kept her head down, avoiding Grandpa Grey's eyes."You vile woman! Di
Ariel stood in front of her half-broken mirror that evening, looking at her reflection and admiring her beauty."Wow I look stunning," she said, turning back and observing how she looked from there.She was wearing a blue gown, the only evening gown she had. She had packed her hair up, putting in a few cheap silver hair clips she had bought a few weeks ago.She took out her old Android phone and took a picture. It wasn't very often that she dressed like this. Though she knew she was not going to fit in much at the event, she knew she did not look too bad.Paul entered her room, holding up one of the toys his father had bought him. He waddled up to her with his chubby legs and pushed the black toy to her."What's wrong with it?"Ariel looked at the toy and realized one of the legs of the Iron Man action figure had turned to the back. She chuckled, seeing how it was not a big deal yet Paul looked like he was about to cry."Iron Man's leg is broken!" he cried.Ariel smiled, collecting th
After an unnerving silence, Ariel finally said;"Well, I know you're trying to seduce me. But you don't have to do it because I've already agreed to marry you."Dylan chuckled."What if I'm doing this not because I want to marry you?"Ariel rolled her eyes and pushed him off her."Stop toying with me. I won't stand for it."She walked over to the chair he had slept on and realized he had still not put her father's wooly clothes on since yesterday night.'This fucker'"And get some clothes on," she said, picking up the wooly shirt and throwing it on his head.Dylan laughed but started to wear the clothes.He spent the morning at her house, phoning the secretary and informing him that he would not be coming to the office.Afterward, he wanted to take Paul to the toy repair shop."Nah, Paul's gotta be in school. He's already late. Come by in the evening to pick him up.""But I have an event to attend this evening. I can't come. By the way, where's Esther?""She's away for some program. S
Ariel didn't know what to think about this. Worry seeped into her mind. There was a family member of Dylan out to get him. That means his brother was after him and his life wasn't that peaceful.She had heard about how wealthy families with rich inheritances fought with each other and sometimes even killed each other. They resorted to many dirty tricks to get rid of each other.Ariel remembered what happened with Dylan's grandfather in the past and how he had quickly gotten rid of her teacher. She knew what he could do. Was the whole family like that as well?She looked at Dylan. At least he seemed different. But could she be sure about the rest of his family members? If his brother was this dangerous to Dylan, what would happen when he found out about their son?Should she even marry him at all? Won't it put her and her son in danger?"I know what you're thinking. But I'll protect you. I promise," said Dylan, taking her hand and kissing it."Dylan," Ariel said, blushing as his warm h
"Dylan? What happened? Why are you in the rain?""Can I come in first? I'll explain everything.""Oh, sure!" Ariel stepped out of the doorway and let him in.He was soaking wet."My! You're soaked to the bone! Take off your clothes!"Dylan looked at her a bit surprised."What?"Then understanding what her words suggested, Ariel blushed."I said to take your clothes off or you'll get a cold!"Dylan obliged and began to take his clothes off. He was a bit slow in doing that so Ariel helped him. She helped him out of his suit jacket, dropping it into a bucket she usually kept at the parlor's entrance, his wet shirt that clung to his firm ripped body.She unbuttoned his shirt, pushing each side of the shirt apart. She blushed as her eyes landed on his bare skin. His body was so good.Ariel shook her mind of such thoughts and focused on undressing Dylan of his wet clothes.After a while, they had taken all his clothes off and Dylan was left in only a boxer. Ariel tried to avert her gaze fro
Dylan could feel the gaze of his brother on his back and a shiver ran down his spine. Marcus must not know about Paul. So far, my Grandpa Grey knew about his son. Dylan had been careful in his dealings, ensuring he was not followed whenever he visited his son and hiding that he had a son from everyone.Marcus would do anything to sabotage him. Even if it means hurting his son, an innocent child."The toy for Ash's child. You know Ash right? It is his son's toy," Dylan lied, hoping Marcus would believe him."Oh? And what would you be doing with the toy of your friend's child?"Marcus was dangerous. He might seem like just a normal jealous and petty brother but he of all people, knew just how far Marcus could go.He had already attempted to assassinate him, twice. And he was sure Marcus was into a shady business too, though he was not sure what business it was yet though."He's my friend. Is it a coincidence his son's toy is with me? I broke it while playing with him and I promised to r
