BILLIONAIRE'S BARGAIN: Fate of Aries CHAPTER 26
After an hour of cooking, Mrs. Jenkins and I finished preparing a delicious meal of roasted chicken, steamed vegetables, and fluffy rice. The aroma wafting from the kitchen was tantalising, and my stomach growled in anticipation of lunch. "Just in time," Mrs. Jenkins said, glancing at the clock. "Mrs. Victoria will be pleased." I nodded, feeling a sense of accomplishment. "Let's get everything set up in the dining room." We carefully transferred the dishes to the dining room, where the table was already set with fine china and crystal glasses. Just as we finished arranging the food, Mrs. Victoria swept into the room, Sofia trailing behind her. "Sofia's starving," Mrs. Victoria announced, her eyes scanning the table. "I hope lunch is ready." Sofia's eyes widened as she took in the spread before her. "Finally, something decent to eat," she said, her tone dripping with entitlement. I bit back a retort, remembering Mrs. Jenkins' words: "Don't let those people get to you." Mrs. V

I tapped my foot impatiently, waiting for my ride to arrive, My phone buzzed, and I glanced at the screen."Your ride is 2 minutes away," the notification read, I exhaled but sighed since I was already running late.A sleek, silver sedan pulled up to the curb, its tyres humming on the pavement, The driver, a friendly-looking woman with a warm smile, leaned over to open the passenger door."Hi, Aries! Hop in," she said.I slid into the seat, buckling my belt as she pulled away from the curb, The sedan glided smoothly through the streets, the air-conditioning a welcome respite from the afternoon heat.As we drove, my phone buzzed again, and I glanced at the screen, A text from Emily my best friend flashed on the display:"Hey, Aries! The lecture starts in 20 mins, and you're nowhere to be found! Where are you?"I frowned, anxiety creeping in. "Stuck in traffic," I typed quickly."Estimated time of arrival?" Emily replied."10-15 mins I believe I can make it in time," I estimated."Okay,

Since my fate is to be doomed in the hands of my father and his new wife (My stepmother).As I dismissed some thoughts I know will only do more harm than good to me, I quickly packed my things into my bag pack, l looked at Emily who was already staring at me for the moment, her eyes filled with Anger."Hey Emily try to calm down, don't be angry at me" I paused for a while recollecting my thoughts. "I would love to stay but I have some family problems I have to face alone. Please understand.""Did you just say Alone?" Emily asked in anger."Yeah Emily" I walked close trying to calm her down but she retaliated."Aries you seem to have taken me for a fool" Emily spoke her voice shaking as she tried to hold back her tiers."Emily, what have I done wrong?" I asked."Don't play dumb with me Aries" she said as she walked closer to me. "Aries I know you too well, something has been bothering you but you choose to hide it from me why?" Emily said. Tires rolled down her eyes.I felt pity for E

I sat at the cushion with my father looking at Sofia who was still looking at me, after a brief silence. My father cleared his throat as if something was choking him."Hmmmm" he cleared his throat. "Aries dear you will be get married."At that moment I felt like I didn't hear what he was saying."Dad please I don't hear you" I said politely not to make him angry."Aries dear I said you are getting married" he repeated but this time his voice was loud and clear."What??" I exclaimed."How? Am I getting married to whom?" "I am too young..... to get married am just twenty-one years old" I pleaded as tears rolled down my eyes.I slumped back into the cushion, my eyes wide with horror and disbelief. My mind raced, refusing to accept the words echoing in my ears. "Married?" I thought. "How can this be? I'm just 21!"My gaze drifted to Sofia, still watching me with an unreadable expression. Her presence made me feel like a pawn in a game I didn't understand."Aries dear I know this would

Mum please don't leave me" I cried beside my mum who was lying helplessly on the hospital bed, I kept crying and crying.Suddenly a man in his late twenties entered my mum's private room. The man who entered the hospital room was tall and lean, with a athletic build that was evident even under his white lab coat. He stood at around six point two inches with broad shoulders and a strong jawline, giving him a confident and authoritative presence. His dark brown hair was neatly styled, and his piercing blue eyes sparkled with compassion as he approached the hospital bed.His white lab coat was crisp and spotless, with a name tag that read "Dr. Ryan KEAL" in bold letters. The coat was slightly open, revealing a hint of a tailored white shirt and a slim black tie. His dark blue jeans fit perfectly, accentuating his toned legs.As he moved closer, his eyes locked onto mine, filled with kindness and concern. His smile was warm and gentle, putting me at ease despite the chaos of emotions

After gathering my thoughts I summoned the courage to speak back to the doctor I asked. "When will the surgery commence" I looked up to Dr Ryan pitifully because my mom was the only one I related to and she was always there for me.Dr. Ryan's expression turned gentle, his eyes filled with understanding and compassion. "We're aiming to perform the surgery as soon as possible, but we need to run some additional tests to ensure that your mother is stable enough for the operation," he explained softly.He paused, collecting his thoughts before continuing. "I'd say within the next 24 to 48 hours, depending on the test results. We want to make sure that we're giving her the best possible chance of success."Dr. Ryan's voice was filled with reassurance, but I could sense a hint of caution beneath the surface. He knew that the situation was critical, and he was trying to prepare me for any outcome."We'll be monitoring her closely, and I'll personally be overseeing her care," he added. "I

As I sat beside my mother's hospital bed, my mind was racing with thoughts of how she ended up in this situation. I had seen her just that morning, and she was fine. We had breakfast together, and she was her usual self, chatting and laughing. I couldn't understand how things had taken a turn for the worse so quickly.Just as I was lost in thought, a woman in her late forties entered the room. It was Mrs. Jenkins, my mother's private nanny. She was carrying a medium-sized bag and looked worried."Aries, dear, I'm so glad you're here," Mrs. Jenkins said, setting the bag down on the floor. "I've brought some of your mother's things from home. I thought they might make her feel more comfortable."I nodded, still trying to process everything. "Thanks, Mrs. Jenkins. I appreciate it."Mrs. Jenkins came over to me and put a hand on my shoulder. "I know this is a lot to take in, dear. But we'll get through it together. Your mother is strong, and she'll fight this."I nodded again, feeling a

I felt a wave of relief, followed by a sense of hope. Maybe, just maybe, my mother would be okay."That's great news," Mrs. Jenkins exclaimed, her face lighting up with a smile.Nurse Thompson nodded. "Yes, it is. However, we still need to be cautious. The surgery is complex, and there are risks involved. But with your mother's current condition, we believe it's the best course of action."I took a deep breath, trying to process everything. I looked down at my mother, still lying helplessly in the bed, and felt a surge of determination. I would be there for her, every step of the way."What's the next step?" I asked, looking up at Nurse Thompson."We'll be preparing your mother for surgery shortly," she replied. "Dr. Ryan will come in to explain everything in more detail, but I wanted to give you a heads up on the results."I nodded, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Nurse Thompson. "Thank you for telling us. That means a lot to us."Nurse Thompson smiled and nodded before turning

I slept only to wake up the next morning; I brought out my phone to check the time. It was around 9 am."Oh no!!" I exclaimed as I saw the time; I quickly got out of bed and rushed to the bathroom, washed my face; since I woke up late and there was no time for me to take my bath, I walked out of my room.As I hurried out of my room, I nearly collided with Mrs. Victoria, my stepmother, standing in the hallway. Her piercing gaze scrutinized me, her expression a mask of disapproval."Good morning, Mrs. Victoria," I stammered, trying to sound cheerful despite my rush.But instead of a warm response, her face contorted in anger."You call this morning?" she spat, her voice venomous. "You're over two hours late! Your father explicitly told you that you'd be taking care of household chores from now on, and this is how you start?"Her eyes flashed with indignation. "Do you know how much work needs to be done? The laundry, cooking, cleaning... and you're still lounging in your nightclothes?"S

Finally, I drifted off to sleep until I heard a hard knock on my door.Knock!!! Knock!!! Knock!!!. The knock was very intense; I stood up in fear; at that moment, I was very scared.I suddenly Heard my voice behind the door."Aries, open this door", a voice called out my name; I recognized the voice as my dad's. "Open this door, you useless girl"I cautiously approached the door, my heart racing with anticipation. My hand trembled as I grasped the doorknob, hesitating for a moment before slowly turning it. The door creaked open, revealing my father's furious face.His eyes blazed with anger, his eyebrows furrowed, and his jaw clenched. His face was red with rage, and veins bulged from his temples."Aries, you stupid girl!" he thundered, his voice echoing through the room. "What did I tell you about disobeying me?"As he spoke, his hand swiftly rose, and I felt a surge of fear. I tried to dodge, but it was too late. His palm connected with my cheek, delivering a stinging slap.The soun

I entered my room for the first time since my mom's passing, a laugh escaped me—soft and ironic, tinged with the bitter edge of everything that had changed. It felt strange to find even a flicker of happiness amidst the grief that had become my constant shadow. The laughter didn’t feel real, almost like a defence mechanism against the overwhelming sadness.I closed the door behind me and leaned against it, the weight of the world pressing down on my shoulders. My eyes scanned the room—everything looked exactly as I had left it, yet nothing felt the same. The room had a hollow feeling, as though the life that once filled it had been sucked out, leaving only memories in its wake.The silence was deafening. I could almost hear my mom's voice, soft and soothing, whispering in my ear, offering comfort that I so desperately needed. But she wasn't there. She would never be there again.I walked over to m

I cried until exhaustion took over, my body finally succumbing to the relentless emotional storm that had torn through me. Sleep came not as a relief but as an escape, and even then, it was fleeting.It felt like I had barely closed my eyes when the harsh sunlight pierced through the curtains, dragging me back into reality. Groggily, I opened my eyes, disoriented and confused. How was it morning already? The night had passed in a blur, and I couldn't shake the unsettling feeling that I had only slept for a few moments.I sat up in bed, and immediately, the familiar ache in my chest resurfaced, a heavy reminder that grief hadn’t let go of its grip. I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the haze of sleep, but it clung to me like a stubborn shadow, refusing to let me feel rested.The memories of yesterday came flooding back, each one more overwhelming than the last. I threw off the covers, my body pr

I looked up at him, my eyes pleading. "Please, Mr. Jack. I need you to protect me, to protect our company. My mother trusted you, and I trust you too."Mr. Jack's expression softened. "I'll do everything in my power to protect you and our company, Miss. I promise."I nodded, feeling a small sense of relief. "Thank you, Mr. Jack. I knew I could count on you."I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "I need some time to think, to process everything. Can we meet again tomorrow?"Mr. Jack nodded. "Of course, Miss. We'll meet again tomorrow. And don't worry, everything will be okay."I thought for a moment, considering my next move. I looked up at Mr. Jack, my eyes serious. "Forget about the meeting tomorrow, Mr. Jack. I don't think it's safe for me to leave my house right now."Mr. Jack's expression was concerned. "What do you mean, Miss?"I took a deep breath, trying to explain.
