Chapter: 47. A Visit
"None of this would have happened if they had allowed me to stay with you." Crystal said bitterly, expressing her anger."They did as they were told. It's not their fault." Xander replied, sipping his juice.He was eating breakfast with Crystal in his room at noon. Because of the drug, he slept for a long time and woke up a while ago."But Xander, you needed me. Only I could have helped you in that situation. We're getting engaged and we have slept before, so what happens if we do it again?" Crystal was furious after hearing what happened last night. She couldn't stand Ariadne near Xander, and last night they almost slept together."I dislike doing anything while unconscious.""You don't do anything in your conscious state either." Crystal expressed her disappointment. "You didn't even kiss me once in these five years. You also refuse to let me near you.""Crystal, you know the reason. I don't want to talk about it now.""Yes, I understand that you care about me, and don't want to dis

Chapter: 46. Drugged
When Xander came out of his room and nearly fell to the floor, Toby saw him. He was near the elevator, talking to his wife. As soon as he saw Xander, he approached him. However, when Xander banged on Ariadne's door he stopped in his tracks. He silently observed him without saying anything. Inside the room, Ariadne was lying on her bed, trying to sleep. After arriving at his room, Mark went to the bathroom and threw up three or four times. Only then did he feel better. Ariadne stayed in his room while he changed and freshened up. After taking a pill, he fell asleep, and Ariadne returned to her room. She, too, freshened up and changed into comfortable clothes. She didn't call home as she was exhausted and it was already late. She went straight to bed. However, she hadn't yet fallen asleep when her doorbell rang, followed by a loud banging on the door. She sat up abruptly, perplexed. She assumed it was Mark as she had instructed him to come to her room if he needed anything. She hurri

Chapter: 45. A Dance
"They're looking good." Ariadne remarked as she and Mark sat at the bar, sipping drinks. Their eyes were fixed on Jennifer and Dean, who were dancing on the dance floor with others. "We will look better." Mark said as he placed his glass of drink on the bar counter after downing the liquor. Ariadne frowned as she looked at him. Mark rose from his seat and took her glass and placed it beside his own. "We're going to dance, too." he said as he grabbed her hand. "What? No." Ariadne was surprised. "Oh, yes." he forced her to stand up from her seat and dragged her to the dance floor. Ariadne stopped struggling as everyone was there. Mark took the position, and they began dancing to the music. Jennifer gave them a smile. Ariadne couldn't help but giggle. A romantic song played and Mark pulled her closer, placing his hand on her waist and looked at her eyes. "Don't try to be romantic with me." Ariadne gave him a funny look. "I'm just feeling the song." he smirked, causing h

Chapter: 44. Having Fun
"I made it clear that you would keep me updated on whatever happened there." Tiara shouted from the other end of the phone. "Come down, girl. I am fine. Nothing happened." Ariadne assured her. She was currently in her bed, after returning to her room a while ago. After Ariadne slammed Mrs. Garner in front of everyone, the insults stopped, and everyone resumed normal conversation. Crystal and Catherine acted normally while Mrs. Garner's head hung down in shame. However, Xander appeared disturbed after the argument, and left early with his men. Ariadne and Mark went back to their rooms after speaking with a few people after dinner, while Crystal stayed with the ladies. The first thing Ariadne did when she returned to her room was call Tiara to check on the kids. She didn't tell anyone what happened at the festival back home. She didn't want them to worry about her. However, Tiara managed to get every news about her. "By the way, how did you know about this?" Ariadne asked. "I

Chapter: 43. Not Again
Crystal smiled sweetly as she asked. They were not alone. There were two other women with them. Catherine Garner and her sister-in-law, Mrs. Tina Garner. Ariadne recognized them right away. Looking at the three women, she knew they were going to humiliate her. She sighed before composing herself. Crystal had already ruined the previous dinner. She wouldn't let anyone ruin her evening today. She mentally prepared herself. Lady Linda didn't sit with her today, as she joined another table with her relatives. "Oh, that will be our pleasure, Miss Miller. Please take your seats. Good evening, Mr. Blake." the woman from earlier said. They moved to the empty seats on the opposite side of Ariadne. The three women and three men sat in a line, with Xander and Crystal in the center, next to each other. "Are you okay?" Mark asked, concerned. Ariadne nodded with a smile. He gave her a knowing smile to assure her that he was with her. Xander glared at them after sitting in the chair, then averte

Chapter: 42. Two Couples
Xander noticed Ariadne and Mark approaching the golf course. They were talking, unaware of his hard glare on them. Ariadne burst out laughing as Mark said something to her. They looked happy, enjoying each other's company. Xander clenched his jaw while watching the scene and averted his gaze. "Do they come to play golf as well?" Jose murmured under his breath. However, Xander heard him. "You are very curious about other people's affairs." he remarked sharply. "Um.. nothing like that. Sorry, Boss." Jose lowered his gaze and kept quiet. He couldn't figure out why his boss was suddenly in a bad mood. "Look, who's there." Mark pointed towards where Xander sat as they got closer. Ariadne's smile vanished as she noticed him. "Shall we greet him?" Mark asked, giving her a wink. Ariadne rolled her eyes. Mark walked towards Xander, and she reluctantly followed him. "Good morning, Mr. Blake." Mark greeted him, appraoching his table. Xander looked up from his food and nod
