Ariel woke up the next day, took her bath, and wore her clothes. Dylan had bought her a cream suit shirt and blouse and a small flower hat that came with the outfit for the wedding. Her mother helped her make her hair and as they sat in front of the half-broken worn-out mirror that morning, Esther would not stop complaining about how it wasn't right for them to have such a quiet wedding.

"When I married your father, we weren't very rich, and I had just fled from home. We have no reason to have an elaborate wedding. But, it didn't mean we couldn't invite the friends and families that loved and wished the best for us. Why is your fiance having such a small amount of people at the wedding?"

"He just wants a quiet wedding, Mom. It's not a big deal."

"Big deal? Ain't he a rich business tycoon? I might not know much about business politics but isn't Grey one of the families that have close ties with the government? I hear they're so rich, politicians and people in government go to borrow fr

    Ariel kissed him. Maybe it was because they had just gotten married or because he had given her the go-ahead, but she was suddenly brave, suddenly wanting to try new things.Dylan looked a little taken aback by her kiss but he returned it anyway. His rough hands moved from her face to her neck. His hands were warm. He kissed her deeply, his mouth playing games with her lips and tongue. His lips moved from her mouth to her neck, his hands leaving her neck to her waist, grabbing it and pulling her closer. Ariel felt her breasts harden as soon as they touched his chest.She jolted, the sudden development surprising her. She had not known the nipple could harden because of pleasure. Was this a normal reaction?"What's wrong?" Dylan asked with hazy eyes.Ariel stared back into his eyes. This rich dude was doing things to her, and he didn't even know it.Was this right?She was just his contract wife after all. She was not supposed to want more. She has no right to want more.Dylan had made

    Not wanting to reprimand him in front of his workers, Ariel whispered in his ears;"Why are you being so harsh to them? They're being so respectful already?""If I don't, they'd do as they please," he replied.One maid came towards them and held out her hand."You must be very tired from the journey. I've prepared a bath for you to calm your nerves. If you would please follow me upstairs, to help you take the bath," she said to Ariel."Oh, thank you very much. I…"Dylan's grip tightened on her waist and he drew her closer."Let's do that later. I want to show her the rooms first."Ariel looked at the maid and then looked at him."Alright."Dylan pulled her towards the hallways, leaving the group of workers behind. As they walked, Dylan got a hold of Paul and lifted him into his arms.Paul giggled happily and put his hands on Dylan's cheeks."Daddy! This place is big!""Yes! And I've got a playroom for just you and you alone!" Dylan replied."A playroom?" Ariel asked."Yes, do you want

    "Do this for me, okay?" Dylan said with puppy eyes."Alright! Alright! Three bodyguards! Now stay away from me!" she said, pushing him off her and walking off.Dylan chuckled as he watched her flustered expression. She was blushing furiously.She kept stomping off down the hallway as if she knew the way and he followed her, amused with her actions. And then she stopped, looked right, looked left, and then back at him."Why are you looking at me?" he asked."Where are we going next?""To your bedroom."Dylan walked towards her and held out his hand, but she swatted it away and kept on marching forward.Dylan chuckled. She was just like an angry cat.They got her room, only after he'd finally caught up with her and led her to the room 'against her will'.Ta-da!Dylan opened the door of the well-furnished room he had prepared for weeks. Ariel entered the room, looking around at the pink curtains, pink bedding, pink pillows, pink wardrobe, and everything else.Ariel turned to look at him

He was getting closer to the truth. An informant had informed him that the crime syndicate involved in the drug business was sponsored by rich families in the city. Handing him the contact of someone who could bring him closer to the truth, the informant had 'disappeared ' without a trace.So today, Dylan had gone to find this person who could bring him closer to the truth. He went there with a friend of his, Rhodes, an undercover FBI agent who was also involved in the case.As they walked to the person's abode, Rhodes said for the thousandth time;"Dylan, I'm only letting you in on this case because of the useful information you've given me on several occasions but I still believe this is too dangerous. You should back off and leave it all for me. I don't want yo

    Marcus walked into Grandpa Grey's study with brisk steps. He was summoned by his grandfather a few minutes ago.Entering the room, he met Grandpa Grey sitting in the study, waiting for him, a frown on his face."Good afternoon, Grandfather.""Have your seat," Grandpa Grey said, pointing to the seat opposite his own.Marcus sat on the seat and looked at him."I heard what happened. Did you ensure he had said nothing to Dylan before you had him killed?" Grandpa Grey asked."Yes, I did. My man was quick and he managed to find the files and recording before Dylan and his FBI friend arrived.""Good, if they had met that whistle-blower son of a bitch alive, it could have cost trouble for us. Now, tell me more about the business. Cole told me the next shipping is on Thursday. Now why was it postponed to two days after the agreed date?""Well, it's been shifted to two days because our ships transporting the drugs were stopped by a customs officer," Marcus explained."A customs officer?

    Ariel was standing in the garden and was surprised when she heard Dylan's voice behind her:"Do you like the garden?" he asked."Dylan, you're back?" she asked, walking towards him."Yes. How was he?" he asked.Ariel was very relieved that Dylan was finally back home. He'd left the house early this morning with a quick goodbye and hadn't come back till evening. Ariel had taken a week's leave from her office for her honeymoon. Her stingy boss did not want to grant her the leave at first till Dylan had made a mysterious call and her boss offered her a month's leave instead. She did not understand how Dylan had done it but she guessed that being the CEO of Corps had something to do with it. Ariel had been the one who decided she wanted only a week. And rather than a honeymoon, she needed the leave to ensure Paul was settled in and to get used to the house.After dropping her son off at his daycare center today, in a posh jeep with tinted windows, she had returned to the mansion.She had

    Ariel kept her eyes focused on her meal till the end of dinner.Soon, it was time for bed. Ariel started to leave for her bedroom when Dylan pulled her back."What?""You are mad at me, right?"Ariel looked away. As much as she wanted to tell him she was not mad so he would leave her alone, she also wanted him to know she was angry with him."Look at me," he said, putting his hand on her chin and shifting it to face him."Dylan, leave me alone.""Why aren't you telling me why you're angry?""Why do you care? After all, I'm just a contract wife, remember?"Dylan placed both hands on her shoulder and drew her closer to him."So it's that? You don't like it when I refer to the contract, do you?"Ariel bit her lip. She didn't want him to know she cared. That it hurt her when he said that, that it reduced all their interactions and all these little things to nothing. How was she supposed to tell him that when he did not feel the same way? How was he to understand?Yet she found herself say

    Charity could sense from his tone that he would not tolerate any of her antics today, yet she stayed put and fluttered her eyelashes seductively."I came to play, Daddy.""You know I can call the police and have you arrested for a break-in, right?""But it would not be a break-in if your secretary let me in here.""I can only imagine how much you would have threatened him to get allowed here. So, I'm not surprised. Just get out of here and go back home.""But Daddy, I want to stay here with you," Charity said, crawling on the desk towards him, her exposed buttocks up and in the air.Dylan stared at her, and suddenly it wasn't Charity crawling seductively to him but Ariel.He shook his head."Charity, I want you out of my office this instant. Do you hear me? I'm a married man now! So get out!"Charity was slightly startled by his raised voice but still tried to use her seductive charms on him. Until he couldn't take it an

    Ariel stood at the door of the mansion watching Dylan button up his suits again, his bodyguards waiting patiently for him by my car.He came towards her."How do I look?" he asked, smiling.She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.He chuckled."I don't need you to say any words. Your actions have confirmed to me that you think I do look good."" Yes. Actions speak louder than words."He turned to leave to go, but Ariel held his arm and pulled him back.

Dylan on the other hand supported her in the way he could. He told her often that he was proud of her efforts and sometimes showed up at her fundraising events to make more people come and invest as well, given his popularity."Thank you so much!" the homeless people said to Ariel and Maggie.They were all so grateful.One older woman held her hand and prayed for her. Another homeless person, a young boy, gave her a flower she was sure he had seen at the side of the road."A beautiful flower for a beautiful woman," he said, looking at her with awe.

Dylan asked.Denise started to cry again."Yes, my son.

Now that he was back, he had so much to do.The uproar that the public had had as a result of their discovering the truth about his grandfather and other families involved in the drug trade had begun to die down.

    Dylan was enraged."I can kill you here and now!" he threatened.Charity laughed in his face."You and I know you can't try it. If you do, you will never see your beloved wench again. So tread carefully."Dylan let her go after that."Goodbye, my love," Charity said mockingly and got into a cab she had flagged down.Dylan watched her drive away, clenching his jaw.When the car was out of sight, Dylan brought out the tracking app his tech friends had installed on his phone. He had attacked Charity simply to put a GPS tracker on her.He watched Charity's location move to a site on the outskirts of town. It seemed that was where she was hiding Ariel.

    But if you keep your mouth shut and act like nothing happened, your secret is safe with me. At least for now. Do we have a deal?"Charity nodded. Ariel laughed.Then she pushed Charity back to the floor and left the apartment. Charity sobbed as she left, hoping she would not return. She didn't know Ariel was this crazy.Ariel laughed as she walked out of the house. Charity is stupid enough to think she would just let her go after killing her mother.
