Chasing His Contracted Wife Mariam
“I have a friend of mine who has been looking everywhere for me. I’ve been hiding from her, but I won’t be able to do that forever because once she is free from her current jobs, she could go look for my mother at the hospital and would find out about my marriage to you. It cannot be avoided, and I also want to be the one to break the news to her.” Ariella explained to Kelvin after they were done eating.She needed his permission to tell Mariam about them because she could not avoid her friend forever. Mariam would hate her if her mother was the one to break the news and not her. She would still hate her for hiding everything and sleeping with Kelvin for money, but she knew that Mariam would forgive and support her. She needed a friend at this point in her life and Mariam was the only genuine person left. She would keep her secret for her. Ariella trusted Mariam with her life. They’ve come a long way.“Is she in the industry too?” Kelvin asked as he gracefully wiped his mouth with a

Ariella spent the next few hours watching a movie on her phone, just to keep herself busy, as she waited for Mariam to clear her schedule and send her the location they would meet. When the text message came a few hours later, she quickly dressed up and left the house.She did not want Kelvin’s driver to drive her at first, but she changed her mind. Since Mariam did not know where she was, she picked a place that was far from Kelvin’s house but closer to Ariella’s, thinking that she may be at home and that location would save her some cab money. Ariella was touched at the gesture.Ariella was sure that Mariam would scream and immediately begin to hound her for answers if she were to see her in this car, but she was already going to tell her friend everything, no need to stress herself by taking the train or paying a high fee for a cab.Mariam was just paying a taxi driver when Kelvin’s driver pulled up in front of the small restaurant. Ariella’s thought about Mariam seeing her getting
Chasing His Contracted Wife Were you raped?
Ariella's heart immediately began to this fast against her chest. She had not expected Mariam to immediately notice that she's added weight and even say that she was pregnant. She did not bother to make any moves to refute the accusation when she knew that it was true, and she already intended to tell Mariam about it.Just that in the next second, Mariam smiled and took back her words.“I was just joking, you don't have to go pale. I know you are not pregnant since you refused to get a boyfriend and turned down every man that approaches you.” Mariam snorted before she continued, “Maybe you are no longer exercising, and you are eating too much because you left your agency. But you know that it would be difficult for you to get back in shape if you want to join another agency tomorrow, right? You are piling up troubles for yourself.”Seeing that Mariam was already living quickly from the only opening she had to tell her what was going on in her life, Ariella stopped her with a confessio

Thankfully, Mariam did not jump to her feet again, so Ariella was not scared that she would scream out loud and attract attention once more. Mariam just went frozen in shock that after a few seconds, Ariella began to get scared that she had shocked her friend into a frozen state and would need to have her rushed to the hospital.“Mariam,” Ariella leaned across the table to whisper her friend's name while she threw a risky glance around to see if anyone was watching them, and no one was.She knew that the news she had just dropped was too much. She should have explained everything from the beginning to lessen the blow instead of answering her friend’s questions, but it was too late. She had shocked Mariam into becoming an ice block.“Mariam!” She stretched her hand and tall her friend on the face, softly, sighing in relief when Mariam snapped out of the haze she had fallen into.Arielle relaxed back on her seat. “Welcome back to earth.” In another situation, what she said would have b
Chasing His Contracted Wife Suffocating feeling
“Yes, I do now.” Ariel responded with a sigh as she wiggled her fingers together.“What happened that night after the both of you discovered your identities?”“He was furious and accused me of being a gold digger and a bad friend who was trying to snatch her friend’s boyfriend. Nothing I said that night to defend myself got in his head. He ended up throwing some wad of cash at me, and it was funny how it was the exact amount I needed for my mother’s surgery. No matter how much pride I had and the amount of humiliation it brought, I still bent and picked the money then I left. Hannah, who said she did not have money to lend me and that her bank was having issues, sent me money when I got to the hospital.”“You know that you wouldn’t have had to go through all of these if you had just given me a call, right?” Mariam still looked angry.“I already made the mistake, there is no way to go back in the past and correct it. I can only move on.”“So you found out that you were pregnant and we
Chasing His Contracted Wife Feeling of loneliness
With any more interruptions from Mariam, Ariella explained the remaining things to her, down to Kelvin coming home. She told her in detail about Kelvin going to meet her mother and then signing the contract and getting married, and how he was always accompanying her to every checkup.“I don’t know, but he sounds like a nice guy who was raised by a good woman. How did he end up with a devil like Hannah?” Mariam asked with a shake of her head.“They met when he was younger and Hannah is gorgeous so it’s not a surprise.”“Well, you are very beautiful yourself, so I think the both of you can go to war over him.”“No way. I’m not doing that. I’m leaving after I give birth to my child.” Kelvin may be nice but he does not want her, and she does not want him either. They both have an agreement to go their separate ways. No way was she going to let his mother and Mariam take her into staying. She could never stay or survive in a loveless marriage, and it would affect the baby too. What if he
Chasing His Contracted Wife Megawatt smile
The two friends quickly moved on to talking about other things, carefully avoiding the topic of Ariella’s pregnancy. Mariam could see that her friends were getting distressed from talking about it and her many questions. Even if she was not happy with the situation her friend finds herself in, it already happened and Ariella did what she did for her mother.She’s also done some bad things in the past because she needed to cater for her siblings. Things he could not talk about and was not brave enough to tell Ariella because she did not want to be judged. To Mariam, Ariella was brave for wanting to keep her child and she was glad that her friend was wise enough to get the baby’s father who was rich involved, not minding that he was Hannah’s boyfriend. Hannah caused everything anyway so it was not Ariella’s fault.Mariam was glad that the baby’s father was someone they could reach easily. What if she’s been some random man? What would her friends have done? It was hard enough to care
Chasing His Contracted Wife I lent you money
“Oh good lord, why today of all days.” Mariam groaned in a low tone for only Ariella to hear. Ariella did not even have the opportunity to react or recover from her surprise at seeing Hannah here when she began to talk.“Where have you been all these days, Ariella? I’ve been looking for you everywhere and your manager told me you left the modeling industry for good.” Her words sounded mocking to Ariella, but to other people it sounded like she was concerned about Ariella.“I was shocked and asked him why you decided to leave suddenly, and he said he has no answer to that. You did not tell me about it, Ariella, and I thought we were friends.” Now, Hannah sounded aggrieved, like she’s been wrong, it made anger begin to rise in Ariella’s heart. Why was Hannah pretending? “We always talk about everything, but you took such a big step without telling me. I even thought you got in trouble or something. Seems like I was worrying for nothing because you look absolutely fine to me and even ha

“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. Her first thought in the toilet after Jade spilled everything to her had been to run away but she has neither the energy nor the resources to run off and stay hidden.

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 took just a few weeks off but her sister did not recover, Kelvin then asked her to stay with her sister until anytime she recovers. 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

Chasing His Contracted Wife She is generally a bitch
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
Chasing His Contracted Wife Her position is better than yours
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
Chasing His Contracted Wife News gets out
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? She is just trying to make us know the type of person we
Chasing His Contracted Wife Mother must be proud
“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
