Ariella’s eyes dropped to the mess she made in the sink with the tissue paper, but that was the least of her concern. Her breathing was coming out with difficulty, and she felt like she was soon going to have a heart attack.

Why can’t her life go smoothly even if for once in her entire existence? Why must everything be fucked up?

Hannah being angry at her and trying to take it out on her because of Kelvin’s abandonment only meant that she needed to go back to her former routine of staying indoors and only coming out to visit her mother at the hospital and when she needed to go for her checkups that Kelvin magically finds time to go for with her.

Her hand moved to clutch her heart through her chest as she ironed her mouth, trying to take in gulps of air to open up her lungs since her nose was no longer working well.

At first, it was still the same and her chest remained close up but as she kept repeating the process, things changed and at last she felt her lungs open up and fresh ai

    Ariella brought her hand up to her forehead. Mariam noticed it and her distraught expression. She cocked her head to the side with a frown, “Are you alright?”Ariella shot her a look, “We left Kelvin’s driver outside last night. Do you think he waited until this morning?”“Eh?” Mariam looked confused for a minute before she finally caught up, “You asked him to leave last night, he refused. Him staying overnight has nothing to do with you.”“Stop acting heartless. He was only doing his job.” Ariella scolded.“Good thing you know that he was just doing his job. It’s a nice and big car, big enough to contain him. I’m sure he had a good sleep.”“You are impossible.” Ariella groaned before she turned to walk out of the kitchen while arranging her hair with her fingers. She moved to the door of the house, ignoring Mariam who was following behind her.“Where are you going?” Mariam asked Ariella when she began to move in the direction of the building’s elevator.“To check on him, stupid.” Ari

    Arialla froze and her eyes widened a little as she looked down at Maria. “Kelvin was home last night?”Maria nodded, “Of course, he was home last night and was also worried.”Ariella did not know if Maria was trying to get her boss into her good books or not.“I did not know he would be coming home last night.”“Nothing to worry about. He was happy that you decided to spend some time with your friend.”“Hmm.” That was the only response she could give before she began to walk in the direction of tnt stairs that led to her too.“Eh, Ariella,” Mariam called behind, stopping arialla from placing her foot on the first stairs.She turned back to look at the older woman, “Yes, Maria?” Maria looked like she did not want to speak but needed to do so, “There’s a little video of you that’s been circulating the internet since last night.”Arialla already had an idea, in fact she knew what this video was already but she still went ahead to ask, “What video?”“A video of the little confrontation y

    Wait, what? Was Gladys planning on defending her against Hannah?As much as Ariella needed help with Hannah, she knew that Gladys getting involved will just make the whole thing messy. Bells would go off in Hannah’s head if Gladys was to get involved and everything would just blow over.Kelvin only ignored her and she was coming for Ariella. If Hannah found out that she was pregnant with Kelvin's child, it would be all over.“She can’t just move on with her life, can she?” Gladys continued, oblivious to Ariella’s thoughts, “She always made my son feel less of himself most times because he loved her and it made her act like a God. He gave her everything wanted she yet she played him for a fool and yes, he was a fool for her. Sadly. Guess she found out too late that she can’t live without him.”Or more like she feels that she’s lost one of her toys and so she’s angry that she can no longer control him again, Ariella thought with a deep sneer on her face.“It’s pathetic that she keeps go

    Arielle winced as she moved her phone far away from her ear. Mariam kept screaming and cursing Hannah to hell and back until she ran out of breath. Arielle quickly grabbed the opportunity to talk to her and get her to calm down.“Mariam, I know you are angry but you need to calm down.” Ariella started.“Did you just say that I need to calm down?” Mariam resumed screaming and this time, it was directed at Ariella, “If you were in my shoes you’ll understand that I cannot be calm. This dinner is very important to my career and I worked so hard to get here. Why should a stupid bitch just ruin everything for me? With what's going on, what if my invitation might get canceled. You know how much the CEO of Irish Gold hates scandals and will immediately cancel any model who gets involved in one without mercy.

    By the time Gladys returned with the doctor, Ariella had fallen into a fitful sleep. The doctor ran a test and fixed a drip then prescribed some drugs for her to take once she woke up. She was tired and having the flu so it was not something that should cause alarm.“Put your boss on the phone, Jerome.” Gladys snapped in anger for the umpteenth time. She’s been trying to reach Kelvin since she placed a call to the doctor to come and treat Ariella, but Jerome kept picking the phone to tell her that Kelvin was in a meeting.She was pacing in front of Ariella’s room, her hand was holding the phone tightly like she was going to break it in two because of how angry she was.“Ma’am, Mr. Patrick is in a meeting now. He said he would call you back once he’s done.” Jerome’s voice sounded strained. It was as if he was tired of explaining the same thing over and over again. It also sounded like he hated the position he was in right now. Both his boss and his mother were difficult to please and

    Something cold was cleaning her forehead when she woke up and even in her groggy state, Ariella knew that someone was wiping her down. She was feeling hot inside while on the outside she was sweating badly and also felt like using the bathroom; she was feeling pressed. With a low groan of discomfort, Ariella forced her eyelids open. Thankfully, there was not much light in the room, so everything came into focus quickly and she recognized that she was in her room at Kelvin’s house.She did not need to think much to remember how she got in this position. She hoped that she was not seriously ill. Ariella wanted to sit up so she could demand for water, but her body felt too heavy, and her mouth was too dry to open. She could feel something connected to her hand and when she turned her head to the side, she saw that it was an IV drip. Was it that bad?“Hey, are you awake?”Shock. That was the first feeling that hit her. She had thought that the person wiping her down must be one of the

    “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.

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.

    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. 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?

    “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. No matter how her mother poked her to greet Ariella, she stubbornly refused and kept her mouth shut. She kept glaring at Ariella.Alexander showed his excitement about having a great grandchild but
