Daughter-in-law strikes harder Love
The anxiousness that overwhelmed Dalton as he drove to the airport was intense, that it took him much willpower to remain sane till he got to the one she had texted to meet. He didn't even consider the possibility of it being a lie and just pressed on the brakes of his car, and drove far away from his company. When they finally met and he stared at her figure amongst the crowd, it took him effort not to break down and just walk slowly to where she was. He was glad she came back.Her face was so pale and she was looking so dull, as well as there was a visible decrease in her body shape and size that made her look close to skinny. He couldn't believe he was staring at the lady he loved. 'How had she become like that?' he thought painfully. He moved closer to where she was standing and gave her a tight and warm embrace without saying anything, because he had so much to say to her and as well as nothing. Her body wrapped entirely into his huge body frame, and he tried hard not to cry

Ariana was sprawled comfortably early in the morning of the next day on the bed, drowning in a mess of white sheets that had intertwined her body. She closed her eyes after she had opened it for a while, and pulled in a long relaxing breath before she opened it again. Her eyes traced slowly from the transparent glass walls of the underwater bedroom that they had slept in, and then to Dalton who was still sleeping on the bed by her side. She watched the underground ocean sight that was before her, and the sea animals that swam above their heads like it was going to peek through any minute. She turned to stare at Dalton in complete awe again, as she breathed slowly in and out trying to contain the feeling that was beginning to overwhelm her. Her eyes were almost brimming with tears as her throat parched in pain at what would soon be their reality. The thought of it was too sad for her to bear. Pulling herself together, Ariana stood up from the bed and walked to the floor of the nea

The yacht party was the most glamorous and luxurious, which was the main event of the anniversary itself. It was also the one that Mark Miller promised to attend and make a speech, after his grandson had officially launched the banquet hosting. Eleanor had searched around the entire evening during the banquet to see if Dalton came with his wife, but was rather surprised to see that she was nowhere to be found. It made her wonder if something had gone wrong between them, or if he had found out about the truth before her but had not told anyone. After the guests were getting ready to leave the banquet and make their way to the yacht party, the news about Eva broke out immediately and it was everywhere on the news headlines alongside gore sights of her carrying out some of the acts. Only the family who were too engrossed in their celebration didn't understand what was going on quickly, until the corps arrived at the party almost immediately.

Dalton was so heartbroken than ever that it was extremely hard to believe that he had fallen too much for the lady, who was never ready to stay with him because of their ill fate. It didn't matter how much he cried, grieved, or searched, he could not be okay knowing the reality of everything that had happened. Collin did not leave with the helicopter that transferred Ariana out of the city, because he would feel guilty if he had to lie to Dalton's face that he didn't know where she was, if they ever met. He just contacted her group from Italy that picked her up to know if they arrived safely. The Miller company stocks fell even more and almost hit rock bottom, while a lot of people withdrew their shares from the companies in the space of a week. A lot of investigations were going on about Eva's case which included going in and out of the mansion, and the sisters too were called for questioning because Dalton refused to go. The news on the headlines both day and night was always

Even in her unconscious state, she probably could hear the silent and calculated beeps from every corner of the room. She could still hear inaudible sounds of mumbling and murmuring around her, but her head could not turn to look at what was going on. Of course, she was certain that she was still alive, but every part of her body felt so heavy that she couldn't move them. The feeling of people constantly hovering above her body was something she always felt, even if she always slipped back into tiredness and unconsciousness. Her eyelids were so heavy that she could feel them, and she didn't seem to remember why she was like that or what had happened. All she could feel was her heart hurting so bad, like someone was stitching it with a needle and thread. She felt suffocated even while still unconscious, until someone grabbed her arm softly in theirs. "Ariana. You have to wake up soon, okay? The guilt is killing me. Knowing that you went through so much for me is killing me. I ne

Dalton's company"The percentage rise is astounding both internally and externally. People are trying to invest their shares again," Alex reported to his boss, as he presented the report to Dalton who was signing some important files. "We are not taking shares of anyone less than 9% to cut down the number of people that are desired for the investments. And for everyone that qualifies for the quota, blacklist the ones that have been part of the corporation before and pull them out after thorough findings. For anyone who would be remaining, make sure to find out about them before bringing their proposal. We won't give a chance to disloyal people anymore." "Yes sir. What about the art pieces that were moved from the gallery, sir?""Put them up for sale in another country entirely. Italy, Japan, and the like.

ItalyMilanLeased vacation house It had been harder for Collin to leave, as he watched Aria wallow in sadness and degrade in her health by the day because of her sister's condition. She could not eat or sleep properly, because of her sister whose eyes had been shut in a deep sleep for weeks after her surgery. Going to see the growing baby at the hospital almost everyday was like a strand of hope she could cling unto, as she watched the cute baby girl take after the features of her mother.

New OrleansGrand Isle"Getting so occupied with Adriana has made me so busy. I will meet you at the event," Ariana apologized to her sister on the phone, as she turned to face her tiny little child who had spilled the jug of milk again for the third time. "Come back here, naughty," she called and tried to catch the little child who ran off so fast, the moment she realized that her mother was about to get to her. "She is so fast. The last time she came over, the rack that holds numerous stacked books in the dining room came tumbling. I didn't see her afterward, and feared so greatly that she was probably under the huge rack," Aria sighed so hard over the phone. "I started crying while calling her name, because she is just so tiny. Guess what? I found her when I heard a loud sound in the kitchen.

Ariana, who is still identifying as Aria, had returned to check on her sister in Italy, whose vitals were improving to stability already, and could move her body parts too according to signals. She also met with the foreign investigator to whom she had paid lots of money days before, and presented evidence that she had against Eva to speed up investigations against her. He teamed up with some of his group back in California, who did most of the remaining research covertly. Her health condition seemed to be deteriorating too with an increase in pain by the day, which put her in fear that her sister might not wake up soon enough to see her. And with all those burdens in her heart, she missed Dalton too even if she wouldn't accept it. The fear that she might never see him again also clung to her heart, and caused an ache that refused to go even if she tried to wade the thoughts away. It brought near tears to her face too because it was too sad for her to handle the turmoil her life wa
