How did she even get hurt? These injuries looked serious so how could she have sustained them? Did she have an accident or what?My mind was trying to think of the possible things that resulted in her injury but I couldn’t come up with any so I could only stare at her.“My lord, I’m Ariana Rodriguez and I would like to plead innocent for Mr Ender” I heard her say and my heart jumped for joy as I listened to this.How did she have so much confidence to want to prove I was innocent? The pathetic lawyer that had being hired to prove me innocent couldn’t even do that so what did she think she could do to help me?“Whatever you want to say, do say it in the witness box” the judge told her and she nodded as she limped and just as she was walking to the witness box, she tripled and fell to the ground, unconscious.“Ariana!” I called as I rushed there to her, only to see that she was unconscious.Apparently, the head injuries were severe and she probably couldn’t handle it again. I continued t
I slowly turned to see Tanya feeling uneasy.“And what is that supposed to be? For all we know, it could be fake” the lawyer who was supposed to be fighting to get me released asked. After hearing this question from him, I got even more furious because it was obvious he never even wanted me released and I knew now that whoever it was backing Tanya was very powerful.“When Tanya had said she was assaulted, you didn’t even fight so much to prove Raymond’s innocence but now that I have said I’ve got a footage to prove his innocence, it’s fake? Get a life Mr lawyer “ she said and I smiled to myself, it was obvious she was determined to prove my innocence but then a camera? I was sure all those cameras were dismantled for new ones to be brought in. Tanya got up as she walked to Ariana and I clenched my fists, if this woman dared to do anything to Ariana, I swear I wouldn’t forgive her and I would make sure it would be the end of her. In tears, she held on to the wooden frame as s
I could see the bright smile on Tanya’s face as each single file on the drive showed blank.I could see the shock on Ariana’s face as she rushed out of the witness box to the laptop connected to the projector.“How is this possible? I swear that there was a video on it” she said as she scrolled through each folder and I bowed my head, had all the confidence I had in her being for nothing?I bowed my head as I grabbed on to the frame, was this going to be the end of me?“Your honor, I had said this earlier hadn’t I? All this was just to waste the court’s time. We have seen that there is nothing but an empty folder so what else do we need? Won’t you pass the judgement now?” The woman beside Tanya asked and I sighed; this was going to be the end of me and there was nothing I would be able to do about it. While the woman laid those accusations against Ariana, saying horrible things like she was a shameless woman, one who wouldn’t care about another woman’s emotional status and I cle
I stared at her, she was badly injured and I could see how Tanya stared at her with hatred as she was dragged away.“You’ll pay for this Raymond Ender, I’ll make sure of it!” She screamed as she was taken away after being arrested.I scoffed as I stared at her, going to jail wasn’t the only punishment she would get for what she did to me. Even though she had being asked to pay a sum of $250,000 to me, I wasn’t satisfied.I had spent many days, locked up, getting tortured, being insulted by everyone and all I would get was just a few hundreds of thousand? Never, it would not even happen, I would make sure she suffered more for this.“Tell us Mr Ender, who is she to you?” The reporter asked again, bringing me back to my senses and I stared at him, weren’t these the same people who had made sure to spew nonsense about me? Weren’t they the same people who had made sure that my name was tainted?I would make sure they paid for it, their agencies would suffer for it, I would make sure of
I slowly withdrew from the hug as I stared at her, it felt like she had become even more beautiful after regaining consciousness.Gosh, why was I becoming even more attracted to her? Was it because she had just saved my life and my reputation and probably my company?“Ari? How are you doing now?” Nikki asked as she moved closer to Ariana while I got out of bed and both friends conversed.I smiled as I watched the two of them care for each other. After some time, Nikki recieved a call and had to leave rather urgently, leaving myself and Ariana alone in the room.We were just staring at each other, neither of us saying a word and I was feeling the atmosphere in the room becoming rather tensed and then, I finally mustered up the courage to speak.“Thank you” I told her as I stared at her and she gave a little smile, one that gave me butterflies in my stomach. Gosh, what was wrong with me? Why was I getting so attracted to her?“It’s nothing, I’m sure you would have done same for me”
RAYMOND’s POV…It seemed as though the world was at a standstill. For a moment, I couldn’t believe that she was reciprocating as against what I had thought. I closed my eyes and opened them, but she was still there, peering into my eyes, with our tongues roaming around each other’s mouth.When I didn’t see any form of resistance coming from her, I pulled her by the waist until I felt her breasts on my chest.She smiled calmly and that caused cold shivers to run down my spine. My stomach twirled and churned in excitement while I tried to keep my knees from giving me away.I caressed her waists softly just as I dug deeper into her mouth, savoring each part of it and gulping down the sweet taste of mint and strawberry that came from it.She gave me a soft bite on the lower part of my lips and that caused me to chuckle and go fiercer with her.The heat was too much at this point. I wanted her and I was certain that she wanted me as well. None of us were able to control the wave of emotio
ARIANA’s POV….The moment he left to take a walk, I couldn’t help but breath out in relief. It seemed as though he made me breathless because I couldn’t breath all through the moments we stayed together.And then, he returned with a package in his hands and just as I stared at him, my heart stopped again.It was bad to the extent that I couldn’t tell if I should smile or keep a straight face. His presence just had that strong effect.I slowly raised my head to see him staring at my lips intently. I blushed in embarrassment and this prompted him to stand up almost immediately.“I should be on my way out. I would come check on you again”, he said while I felt a slight pain cross through my heart.He was about to leave and I didn’t want him to.“Thank you!” I said in appreciation as I smiled again.All I wanted to do was jump on him and complete whatever it was we started some moments ago, but I knew that I had to keep track of my emotions.At this, I waved him goodbye and he left with a
THIRD PARTY'S POV"Really?" Ariana frowned, slightly. Lucy had just informed her that she would be going to another town to complete her studies. She was proud of her and as well happy for her. However, Nikki was thinking of following her there. "Is that like necessary?""I mean it's just to help her settle in and once that's done, I will be back home," Nikki explained."If you really don't want to tag along you don't need to but now that you suggested it I could really use some company on the road," Lucy smiled."Well, if you put it that way, fine," Ariana accepted.It wasn't like being home alone was a hassle but she had gotten quite used to their company especially Nikki's over the past few months, she was so used to their company that she was sure she was going to get bored till Nikki was back."Come on, it's not that bad, it's not like I am going forever," Nikki laughed reassuring Ariana that she would be back as soon as Lucy was settled in, it was obvious Ariana wasn't fully ac
