Ariella's contract with her agency that she signed had expired a month ago, and she had been contemplating on whether she should renew it or not. She had her answer now.

Ariella walked into the company, ignoring a few stares from the other models, and moved to her manager's office directly. She did not meet him there, but his assistant was there to direct her to where he was.

Ariella thanked him and moved to where he was. Mr. Krigan was sitting with the top supermodels that were under him, and he was having a discussion with them. They were all laughing while one was rubbing and throwing herself all over him as they talked.

Most of these models were also new when she started but they were willing to do what the company wanted so they climbed the ranks faster while she remained as a small model. Her manager despised her, and she knew that he did not want her to renew her contract. He would surely be ecstatic with the news she brought today.

    “You are coming with me?” Ariella could not leave the surprise out of her voice and eyes as she stared up at Kelvin. “Yes. You did not think that I was going to leave you all alone for today's check-up, did you?” he asked as he looked down at her with furrowed brows. As a model, Ariella considered herself tall but Kelvin towered over her with a good few inches. He had to bend his head slightly to meet her eyes while she had to crane her neck to stare up at him. Ariella shook her head with her mouth still hanging open, “I just… I just thought that you will be busy so I will have to come alone and…” “Well, you thought wrong.” Kelvin said, interrupting her. He walked around her to lead the way, “Come on. The doctor is waiting for you and I have not gotten all day.” Ariella turned around and followed him inside where she was given another surprise. Kelvin was with her all through the check-up and test and it was almost as if they were a couple. When the doctor asked if she had any co

    “Mom, we got married today so I came to tell you and I also need to inform you that I will be moving to his house. I've parked my stuff already.” “I’m really sorry that I’m too sick to accompany you on your wedding,” Isabella said with a sad expression and tears glistening in her eyes. “Mom, come on don’t say that. It is my wedding day, we are supposed to be rejoicing not dwelling on the fact that you are sick,” Ariella felt her chest tightening like someone was squeezing her heart in her chest. She did not like the look on her mother’s gave and she hated the tears in her eyes more. Isabella nodded as she gave a small laugh, “Oh my dear, come close I need to see your ring.” Isabella gushed as she stretched her hands out to beckon Ariella over. With a sigh Ariella moved close to the bed and gave her mother her left hand. “This is so beautiful. It's even more beautiful than the ring my Thomas gave to me when we got married.” Isabella cooed as she caressed the ring on Ariella’s ring

    Ariella fell in love with the purple colored room that was redecorated for her the first time Maria led her into it. She was not supposed to like any of it, she was not supposed to get used to the house, but it was hard not too. Everywhere and everything was nice and cozy, she became a little too comfortable for her own good.It's been three weeks since she became Mrs. Patrick and moved into Kelvin's House. She has only seen him thrice when he accompanied her for her regular checkups. She did not understand why she had to go to the hospital every week if there was nothing wrong with her, but Kelvin insisted that she did just that to make sure nothing went wrong, and he was always with her. All her cravings were satisfied. All she had to do was ask Maria, and it would be provided for her. Just two weeks of being in his house and under his care, Ariella was already adding a little flesh, but it was still early so she was not showing yet.She would have become anxious in the past becaus

    “Gladys?” Ariella's voice sounded shaky. She was more than shocked to see Gladys standing in Kelvin's house but was quick to put two and two together when Maria came to stand beside Gladys. Gladys was the person that was addressed as Mrs. Patrick just now. Gladys was Kelvin's mother!Gladys smiled widely, “It's lovely to see you again, dear friend. How have you been?”Ariella inhaled a shaky breath as she clutched the side of the long gown she was wearing, “I’m fine, how are you?”“Were you going back to your room? I came just for you.”“Me?” Gladys nodded, still maintaining the perfect smile on her face, “Yes, you. I wanted to see you a long time ago but I got preoccupied with work and I had to travel to oversee the business I have abroad. My workers over there can't do anything right without me. I apologize for not coming to see you sooner.”Ariella did not know what to say in response so she could only nod her head as she slowly began to descend down the stairs, her mind running a

    Ariella was almost done with her food when she felt Gladys eyes on her. She lifted her face and met Gladys kind eyes that held a gentle smile. “I'm glad you are well and have a good appetite. The same could not be said for me when I was pregnant with Kelvin. He was stubborn in my belly and still is even as a grown man.”“I'm glad too,” Ariella said with a forced smile.“I hope you haven't had any problems? This is your first trimester, so you need to be very careful.”“I know. The doctor told me the same thing. I'm taking it easy.” That's why she has been lazing about since she moved into Kelvin's comfortable mansion.“I had complications after him, so I could never give birth again after him. All these years I could not wait for him to grow up and have his own child, he just had to pick Hannah who I don't like as his girlfriend. I'm glad Hannah sent you to his bed and he found out that she was not a good person after all.”Ariella calmly dropped her fork and focused all her attentio

    First, Gladys made her get in a contracted marriage with her son to not only get rid of Hannah but to also give birth to her grandson. Now she wanted her to keep Hannah away?Hell to the no! Ariella wanted no part in the complicated rich people stuff conspiracy that was going on with Gladys, Kelvin, and Hannah. She would be glad if she did not have to encounter any more rich people, not with what happened with Hannah sending her to Kelvin's bed and the humiliation he received when he found out.If not for the fact that she was already pregnant and has signed that deal with Kelvin she would be running for the hills right now but that was impossible. “I'm sorry, Gladys, but I will rather live quietly until I give birth to this child and then leave. I want no part in any of these, and I will be the happiest person on earth if you'll respect my decision.” Maybe Gladys will get angry now and threaten her and stuff. That's what rich people do when they don't get their way, isn't it?“Leav

    “I…” Ariella cleared her throat before she spoke again, “I'm coming. I'm just confused about what to wear.”“Well, you can open the door. I will help you make a choice.”Ariella scratched her head as she thought of what to say, “Don't worry. I've found something comfortable.”“Good. I'll be waiting for you outside. Don't take too long.”Ariella sighed in relief when heard Gladys move away from the door and her receding footsteps as she walked down the stairs. Ariella collapsed weakly on the side of her bed and tried to call Jerome again. She jumped to her feet and tears filled her eyes when he picked immediately.“Mr. Allan, I need you to help me pass an urgent message to Mr. Patrick. His mother is here, and she is demanding that I go shopping with her. According to the contract and my agreement with Mr. Patrick, no one is supposed to know about us.

    “It's not like my mother would be going to a public market or something.” That's what Kelvin said so what was she and Gladys going in a local market right now? The part that surprised Ariella the most was the fact that every woman here in this market knew Gladys and wanted her to buy vegetables and other things from them. These women were practically fighting each other to get her in their shop. It only goes to show that she was a regular patron. Ariella could not believe this: a woman of Gladys status buying things in a local market.Don't rich people see this sort of market as dirty? Were they not neat freaks who hated going close to peasants? Why does Gladys keep surprising her with each turn and now she could not find any reason to hate the woman.They were supposed to go shopping right? Ariella had thought that it was shopping for clothes so why were they in the vegetables section of the market?“It's so good to see you again, Gladys.” One of the older women in the market was s

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.

    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

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.

    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.

    “So how far along are you, Ariella?” Alexander, Kelvin’s grandfather asked once they were all seated and ready to have dinner.“Ehh, six months,” Ariella answered with a small smile on her face.Alexander beamed at her, “That’s wonderful. In a few more months we will be getting a mini version of Kelvin. How I wish that my son, Kelvin’s father, Hunter was here to see his first grandchild but no, someone just had to kill him off at such a young age,”If Ariella noticed the way Gladys and Kelvin stiffened beside her, she said nothing and acted like she did not notice anything.Everything was moving well so far. Kelvin’s family was cool. His two uncles and his auntie were here and they have been nice to her so far. Kelvin’s aunty’s first daughter, Jade was here too but she has not said a word.
