“Found it,” mariam exclaimed when she finally found her phone after emptying her purse. She had a wide smile on her face as she bounded back to Ariella and hopped back onto the bed. “Now, we are going to play detectives,”

Ariella chuckled as she moved closer to Mariam who was turning on her data so they could browse the internet.

“Where is it, where is it?” Mariam was muttering under her breath. “Found it!”

“When was it?” Ariella asked, her eyes brimming with curiosity.

“It was exactly two months to the time Hannah sent you to his bed. Thank God,”

Ariella could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. Two months was enough time for lovers to have a breakup. Even if it was not enough time for Kelvin to fall in love with someone else. The hope that was already surging in Ariella’s heart died down as fast as it came alive.

“Two months is enough time for them to break up,”

“Yes. Well, I can sense that a but is coming. What’s it?”

“But it is not enough time for him to fall in love with me. N

    “You know what Mariam, I think I’ll face it. I’m not going to let Hannah have a hold over me forever because if I don’t stop her now, it will be like this forever. I not only owe it to myself to be free but I also owe it to my child. One day, I’ll have to appear with my child and the father outside. My child might need us together so what am I going to do then? Deny my child? My parents never did that to me. If the world is going to drag me, I don’t care. Like you said, one day another explosive news will swallow my own and everyone will forget about it.”To say that Mariam was shocked was an understatement. It was like her ears were playing tricks on her or some alien had taken over Ariella’s mind all of a sudden because where was all of this coming from?Was this not the same Ariella she has been trying to convince for months that she should just live her life the way she wanted because nothing she did would stop the news of her having Kelvin’s baby from getting out?Ariella refused

    Mariam scratched the back of her neck with a sheepish expression, “If you ask me, I don’t know. I think Kelvin is the best person to ask any question you have about this hospital. No one would even know that such a thing exists. I was shocked too when I was told about your accident and led down here,”“I just hope to God that this won’t turn out to be like the movies where the male lead is an underground mafia boss but everyone thinks that he is a billionaire,” “Ahhh, about that… I don’t think we should conclude yet. He might really be in the mafia,”“Eh? Why would you say that?”“Except for the fact that he was once Hannah’s boyfriend who she loved showing off to the world and that he got you pregnant, we know nothing about this guy. There is something I also need to tell you,”“What?”Mariam cleared her throat. She looked hesitant.“What is it? You know you can tell me anything, right?” Ariella asked when she saw Mariam’s behavior. Mariam always said things out without filter and w

    “What’s it with this underground hospital?” Ariella asked when Kelvin stepped into her hospital room after Mariam received a call and left to do some important at her agency.She might have taken it easily when she did not have her memory and was quick to forget about this place because she was busy trying to digest the fact that the truth she’s known during her one month in the hospital was a lie. She wanted to know about this place now. He might not tell her the whole truth yet or might not even tell her anything, but she won’t stop asking. Kelvin looked surprised, but it wasn’t just because of the question. Ariella has not spoken for days and just when he finds out that Mariam had been able to get through to her, and he was happy that she was back, the first thing she does is to ask of the underground hospital.Yes, Mariam already told him that she was not angry with them for keeping her mother’s death from her, that in fact she said she understood when they did it, when he asked

    “Yeah, God knows best,” Kelvin agreed.Ariella adjusted on the bed and patted the empty space beside her, “Sit with me,”Though he was surprised about the invitation, Kelvin did not hesitate, he jumped on the bed and sat close to her. “Now that everything is over, we have a whole lot that we need to talk about.” “What is that?”“You are not going to tell me about this hospital, are you?” “I want to tell you but I can’t,”“You know that I have every right to know considering the fact that I could have been taken to a regular hospital but you chose to bring me here, right?”“I know that you do have every right to know but…”“You did not take me to a regular hospital because you knew that we might be attacked again that night after the one that happened on the highway, am I correct?”Arielle felt Kelvin stiffen beside her. She knew that he was not expecting her to be able to piece everything together. She would never have done that without Mariam’s help. She did not even think much ab

    “Today?” Arielle squeaked in surprise as she stared at Kelvin wide-eyed but she got herself in time and forced her face to look calm.“Yes, today,” Kelvin said with a straight face. He was enjoying ruffling her feathers. He could see her panicking even if she was trying hard to keep a straight face.“Oh? Okay. What time?” Kelvin turned his wrist to check his watch, “Five hours from now,”“Alright, I’ll be ready before then,”Kelvin looked like he was about to leave the room but he changed his mind, “Is the time enough for you to get everything you want and for you to be ready or do you want me to extend it?”“Ahhhh, no,” Ariella shook her head, “Five hours is enough for me to be ready. It is just your family, right?”“Yes, it is just my family.”“You can go now. I’ll be out in four hours thirty minutes,”“Okay,”Ariella waited until Kelvin was out as the door had closed behind him before she allowed herself to collapse on the bed. It’s been three since she left the hospital and ever

    “Bitch! Wake the fuck up!” Mariel screamed as she burst into Ariella’s room and jumped on the bed.Ariella’s eyes snapped open and she sat up as quickly as her belly could allow her. Her heart was pounding fast in her chest as she looked around the room with wide eyes.“What? What’s wrong? Is the house on fire?” She asked Mariam with a frown when she saw nothing.“Stop being dramatic!” Mariam told her with an eyes roll, “If the house was on fire do you think I’ll come inside? Girl, I’ll run for my life first, make sure I’m safe before calling the fire service to come check up on a pregnant you,”It was Ariella’s turn to roll her eyes, “You should stop making dramatic entrances. I’m pregnant and any little thing will affect my baby. The shock and the rush at which I sat up is bad,”“Ehhhh, look who is so worried about her baby. That’s a lot of improvement.” Mariam knew that Ariella did not really like her baby or the fact that she was pregnant. She changed when she lost her memory and

    Kelvin could not say a word. His eyes remained on Ariella as she walked out of her room and shut the door behind her.“Ahhh, is there anything wrong?” Ariella asked as she moved uncomfortably on her feet. The way he was looking at her was making her nervous. Was she overdressed or did he not like what she was putting on? She was very confident in Mariam’s skill. Mariam was quick to embrace the high class life of a model. She’s always been a fashionista but the same could not be said for Ariella who found it hard to match clothes and color.Anytime she was unsure of what to wear for an occasion, all she had to do was place a call to Mariam and the problem would be solved. She really liked this cloth Mariam picked out for her and she was feeling good until Kelvin began to look at her the way he was doing right now.Kelvin blinked as he snapped out of the haze he was drawn into when Ariella came out of her room. He shook his head, “No, no. Nothing is wrong,”“Really?” Ariella still hel

    “So how was it?” Mariam's excited voice came from the other end of the phone. “How did the dinner go?”“Uhm, everything went well,” There was a voice in Ariella’s head asking her to tell Mariam everything that happened during the dinner with Kelvin’s family but another voice was asking her to say nothing. Mariam would hate Kelvin and since Marin was someone who hated pretending, Kelvin would begin to suspect that something was wrong. She did not want him to know that she knew everything he was doing.

    Ariella has been staring at Kelvin’s card that was lying in the middle of her bed since forever. She was contemplating if she should do what was on her mind or if she should try to find a new hobby so she won’t be bored out of her mind.Being home and alone have made her thoughts run wild. She realized that there was nothing she liked doing in her free time and that was mostly because she’s never had free time since her father died.When her father was alive, she hung out with her friends but the said friends now wanted nothing to do with her, not after they nearly got in trouble a couple of times because of her.She could not really blame them. It was not fun to be chased around by loan sharks because you were friends with a girl whose father could not borrow from the banks so he decided to go to loan sharks instead.Ariella has never liked reading but that was okay, she could start now that she was free. She knew how to draw a little, maybe she could buy a sketchbook and pencil cray

    Kelvin shoved his hand inside the breast pocket of his suit and produced a black card which he stretched out to her. “What? What’s that?” Ariana croaked out, staring at the black card that was lying on his palm as if she did not know what it was. “It is my card. You can use it to get anything you want while I’m away,” “I can leave the house?” Arielle asked, still staring at the card. “Why?” Kelvin asked in surprise, “I’ve never stopped you before,” “But…” Yeah, right. He has never stopped her from going out before but she would like to think that he would stop her now after that accident. Was he not supposed to be scared that something bad could happen to both her and the baby? Seems like she was deluding herself when she thought that he cared about the baby. Maybe… no, she was not going to think about anything. “But what?” He asked with raised brows. “Uhn… nothing,” Arielle shook her head. Kelvin stared at her for a few minutes as if hoping she would change her mind and

Maria was not back until now.With Mariam who had traveled to another state to walk the runway, Gladys and Kelvin who had gone back to bury themselves in work, Ariella was left to her own devices.Before Kelvin left for work this morning, he went to Ariella’s room in search of her. His lips widened in a smile when he met her still buried under the covers with only her face out but with her eyes wide open.“Not ready to get up yet?” He asked as he dropped on the bed and reached out a hand to push her hair back from her face.Ariella grumbled something unintelligible under her breath as she turned her face into his hand that was now cupping her cheek. Her action made the smile on Kelvin’s face increase.It did not use to be like this

    After Jade said her piece and walked out, Arielle felt so shaky she had to walk back into the toilet and sit on the toilet seat because she felt like if she remained standing for even a second more, she would drop to the floor in a heap.Arielle massaged her forehead with her hand, she could feel an oncoming headache. Who was it that anytime she thought the worse has passed, more will come?When Judy had said she shouldn’t be called if news about her pregnancy got out,Arielle did not take it to heart because she’d already told herself that she was ready for anything and everything that would happen. She was not going to hide anymore because it won’t help her in the long run. She could not live all her life in hiding because of something she never wanted to happen. Hannah was the one who is supposed to go into hiding and not her.Arielle thought that everything was moving well now but Jade telling her all these things made her know that she was living in a fantasy she created with he

    After using the toilet which was a little hard for Ariella to find even after the whole directions Gladys gave to her, she sighed in relief and stepped out to wash her hand. She has been holding back her pee since she got here and the whole issue from Judy and Jade just made everything worse.As she was washing her hand, she heard the bathroom door opening and raised her head and stared into the mirror to see who was behind her. She cursed in her head when she saw who was walking inside and she immediately had a flashback of when she was in the bathroom of that hotel abroad and Hannah walked in. She just knew that Jade being here was bad.Ariella looked down and washed her hand properly before reaching out to wipe her hand with toilet paper.“You know, Kelvin would never fall in love with you,” Jade said as she came to stand beside Ariella. “I do not care about how you managed to climb onto his bed and get yourself pregnant but Kelvin will never settle for someone like you when he onc

    The way everybody’s character was taking a three sixty degrees turn was giving Ariella a whiplash. First it was Judy who was acting nice then later turning into a vicious snake and now, it was Kelvin who had been acting like he was not there but was now defending her.“I asked you to get out, Jade,” Kelvin said again, his voice was calm but Ariella could hear the underlying anger.“You can’t send her away,” Judy snapped.“Oh yes, I can and I’m asking her to leave now,” Kelvin took his eyes from Judy and placed them on Jade who flinched and ducked her head in fear.She reached out with shaky hands and clutched her mother’s hand, “Mommy,” Judy turned to Alexander, her face red with anger, “Dad, better do something,”“Jade should leave. This meeting was supposed to be for the adults only but I let her stay because I thought she would be reasonable and would comport herself, I thought wrong.” “What is wrong in what she has said?
