Daughter-in-law strikes harder The black card
Mrs. Miller Eleanor was absolutely taken aback by what Aria was saying, and would not have expected her to say something of such to everyone present. It was even so unbelievable for such to ever happen, especially with someone who strongly despised her presence in his home. It was a disputable fact that everyone knew. Even so, she was in more shock about how Aria challenged her everyone's sight, and even mocked her orders by daring to go against her orders. Never would she have expected such to ever happen in a lifetime, or for the remaining months that she would get to spend in their home before they threw her out. The shock of Aria's new behavior and sudden boldness to mess with everyone, made her numb to action and thoughts of what to say or do."My dear Dalton!" Aria suddenly called as she saw him approach, and scurried playfully to where he stood as she grabbed his right arm and crossed her into his. She acted in an endearing manner towards him, as she rested her head softly o

Stacks of photos laid on the office table where Dalton sat behind, in which he seemed not to mind as he checked out some business proposals on the tablet he was holding. He wanted to act like he didn't even care at all about it, but it was almost too impossible to ignore because he did really feel bothered."Mrs. Miller had traveled long miles to an orphanage today. She did nothing much but tour around and had a talk with the manager there, spending approximately an hour and half," Alex reported. That has been his new job for like couples of days watching Aria, and he totally hated it. Dalton's gaze fell on the photos which had Aria in every one of them, dressed in the same outfit at different locations and time. She looked so alluring even from the pictures, that it felt like she had not always been that radiating until now. No one noticed the sick clothes she wore in the past and boring aura she gave, but could definitely not help but take another glance at her state of entirety.
Daughter-in-law strikes harder Stiff as unexpected
Aria had gotten home before dinner but skipped eating, while she took her time to arrange everything she had bought from the store. It was an extra job for her because she had forgotten that her room was now up the stairs, as she had to move everything from the hallway where the maids had dropped them for her. She shut and locked the door behind, the moment she moved in the last package bag, and immediately slumped on the huge bed as she heaved a sign of good relief. The black bag she carried to the mall that was on the other side of the bed, caught her attention as she stretched her left hand to drag it over to her side. Her fingers zipped open the bag, and brought out the black card that she had used to purchase every single thing she bought. Considering how the condition of her official bank accounts were like twenty four hours ago, she would have never had the opportunity to shop as much as she did, because even the credit cards that were given to her by Dalton's grandfather,

'He is deceptive. He is manipulative,' her mind clamored loudly to her, as she felt his lips take in hers. It was so sudden that she had not enough time to catch her breath, but was so distasteful at the same time that her lips just held stiff.'What in the world was he thinking, when he just spontaneously decided to kiss her? Aria felt his grasp on her waste tighten so hard, as she tried to push him away from holding her the way he was. She could barely breathe, and almost choked with the intensity of the kiss. The manner at which he held her was so vigorous, that she imagined herself collapsing from faint as her head spun. Her knee made its way to his crotch, as she hit with strength and jerked free from him almost immediately. His pain sank deep into him, and he wondered how her kick could weigh that much. "What are you doing?!" She yelled, staring at him with so much anger. Her eyes looked so fiery and glaring, that it could burn directly through him if they were beam lasers.

Here are the records of phone calls and every conversation that had ensued in her text messages too, "Alex said, and dropped a file of extremely light weight on Dalton's study desk. "Just three papers?" He asked coldly, as he flipped the sheets again and again. He couldn't believe that she had made that little of calls, in two years of living with them and using the phone line he had Alex monitor. 'Even if one's life was so boring and miserable, it shouldn't be as meaningless and blank as darkness. Didn't she have anyone she called?'"Yes sir. She had made little or no calls in the past, and a little more in the last weeks. The most significant ones and most occurrences are ones with her father," Alex explained, flipping to the second piece of printed paper to show him some highlighted sentences and lines. "There is surely more to this. She would have contacted more people in the past without any doubt, and you are saying this is all that has been said in over 940 days that have b

"Mother, why are you watching that daughter of a bitch mess around, to the extent of having the maids gossiping around that you have lost your leash on her? What is happening to the great Mrs. Eleanor Miller that I know. That we know?" Ellen, who was sitting on the sofa that faced the one her mother was sitting on, asked her with a straight face. She was never the type to be with anyone in her family for over twenty minutes without any reasons, because she was always going through her social media pages and checking tabs on her new followers and fans. The internet life had so much absorbed much of her life and time, that she didn't know how to do more than that and to party too. If they were going to talk about the family social butterfly too, it was definitely Ellen. It wasn't just the typical day social butterfly that everyone knew, but she was the queen of clubs at night when no one would see her.She was always dressed in costume whenever she stormed the clubs, so that no one w

"How is it so difficult to get this person's page down? What do I pay you for Alex?!" Dalton, whose day had started unlikely, demanded angrily, as his eyes kept darting to the comments that didn't stop popping on the tablet screen that was on the table. They were all slanderous words against the Millers and everyone in the family, with numerous people demanding to know the truth about the post that was written against them. Most of them were people that had been waiting for the Millers to be on news for negative issues, so that they would take the moment to curse at the Millers out of jealousy and maliciousness. They could not believe that considering how wealthy and influential the Millers were, they had no dirty secrets or dark past about something they needed to hide. However, they had no deep knowledge about whom they were messing with, and the repercussions of messing with Dalton Miller. "We have taken every page that is related to the posts that are related to this person,

It wasn't hard to tell that by the evening of that day, every ruckus concerning the masked dancer and her post had been totally resolved. Ellen decided to abandon her social media pages for almost eight hours without even checking the internet, so as not to react negatively against the fans who would keep stalking her page, while asking the numerous and suffocating questions that she could never answer. Eva wasn't even present on her seat as the CEO of the art gallery, when the reporters had flooded the place to ask questions about the post of the dancer. None of them could dare step their foot close to the mansion of the Millers again, or even make a mess close to the main company where they knew Dalton would surely be. They just decided to choose the weak links that they could probably get answers to their curiosity from.The beautiful last daughter of the Millers was in some place outside the country with random friends, who even had not clue about who she was and how influentia

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. She had climbed the kitchen stool and gotten her little fingers on my bowl. It was so hectic." "Oh, dear. I am sorry she made you go through all that," Ariana groaned with a chuckle, as she

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. She cried every time she was with Ariana, and she also cried every time she went to see the baby with Collin. He had been shuffling between New Orleans, California and Italy, because of the fact that he had to manage the office head in California and the branch in New Orleans. Things had been so stressful and hectic for him, considering the fact that his father always picked fights with him that he was barely around. And for blind dates with elite ladies, his father would not stop setting

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. I want it done far from here," Dalton instructed with a calm and silent tone. He had been like that for months. Less talking, shouting, anger, and showoff. He talked mostly to A

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 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

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.

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 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, 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
