"Did you tell him about your pregnancy?" Jennifer arrived at the mansion the following morning, after Ariadne had told her everything over the phone.

"He doesn't want to hear anything from me." Ariadne said, as she sat on the bed, with the divorce papers next to her.

"But you need to tell him, Aria. After all, he can't abandon his legitimate child for a bastard with a mistress."

"He will always choose Crystal over me, Jennie. No matter what." Ariadne smiled bitterly.

"But you should still try. Think about your child."

"I am done thinking. And this time, I will do the right thing." Ariadne didn't sleep the entire night. She was thinking about their lives.

"And that is...?" Jennie looked at her.

"I will divorce him."

This time Jennifer wasn't surprised. Deep down in her heart, she knew this day would come if Xander's behaviour didn't change. But she never imagined that Xander would be such a scumbag to cheat on Ariadne.

    In the video, Crystal was conversing with Pamela in a room. "I finally got them divorced. I've been planning this day since I was a child." Crystal said as she leaned into the couch, relaxed. "Congratulations! Finally, you will marry Xander Blake and become the Blake family's lady." Pamela said. Crystal smirked. "Thank you....Everyone will be beneath me now." she stated dreamily. "It's a shame you had to sacrifice your unborn child." Crystal made a face of irritation. "Yeah.. all because of that bitch, Ariadne." she gritted her teeth. "The plan was perfect, but she ruined it. She appeared at the last minute and led Xander to his room. However, luck was on my side." she smirked. "He had no recollection of the night because of the drug. I had intentionally made the drug strong. When I said he forced himself on me, he believed it, and I used his guilt against him. I only needed someone to get me pregnant. In fact, it turned out to be more beneficial. It gave me the opportunity to fr

    A bodyguard knocked at the door. After a while, the door opened, revealing Pamela. She was startled to see a crowd outside her door. She frowned at the masculine men. "Yes?" she asked. The men in black uniforms stepped aside, revealing two people behind them. "Mr. Blake?" Pamela's face turned pale after seeing Xander. She smiled awkwardly, trying to compose herself. "You're here, Mr. Blake. Do...do you have any work for me?" she asked. "Yes." Toby answered instead of Xander. Pamela swallowed as she looked at him. "Oh. You could've summoned me." Toby stepped forward. "Can we come inside? We need to talk." "Sure," Pamela said before moving aside. Toby and Xander entered the room, closing the door behind them. The other body guards remained outside. Pamela was sweating. "Please take a seat, Sir." she pointed to the couch. However, Xander didn't sit. He walked around the apartment, taking in the surroundings. "Let's talk." Toby said, drawing Pamela's attention. Pamela nodd

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    90. His Confession

    Ariadne was in her room, drinking coffee while sitting on the sofa. She gazed outside, deep in thought. They suffered a severe setback after Crystal's interview. Everyone was distraught and trying to deal with the situation. The media even came to the old mansion to get an answer from them. Previously, everyone called her a homewrecker. Now, a new title had been added to her, that of a murderer. She had killed an unborn baby. But for Xander, things were even worse. People called him a rapist. They felt powerless. They knew the truth but couldn't prove it. Crystal showed the hospital records from her pregnancy and miscarriage five years ago as proof. People were convinced that all of the accusations were true. They were outraged, and some even demanded legal action against them. People were even demanding for Xander to be removed from his position as Blake Corporation's president. On the other hand, they boycotted the Autumn Collection. William was terrified of the situation as we

    Ariadne tucked Alex into bed. A knock came at the door. She turned around to see Xander standing against it. "Is he sleeping?" he asked. "Yes." she replied, looking at Alex's sleeping face. The party had ended an hour ago. She insisted that Alex sleep in her room. She had met with him after nearly two weeks. Xander would bring him back to the hospital in the morning. So she wanted to spend the night with him. "I've something to talk with you." he said. "Oh. Wait a minute." She stood up from the bed and adjusted the lights near the bed. She then went to the couches. "Please take a seat." she said while sitting on the couch. Xander approached and sat opposite her. "What's it?" Xander cleared his throat. "We need to gather evidence against Zidane. Can you help us with this?" he asked. "Sure. What can I do to help you?" "Tell me everything you know about him. His personal life, all of his businesses, and their locations. And his secret businesses, if you know." "I only know

    "Holy sh*t. He's confessing his love in front of the whole world. Wow." Tiara exclaimed. Ariadne looked at her, frowning. "What nonsense is this? Is this how he will handle everything... by lying?" "He's not lying... Jose told me everything." Tiara replied. Ariadne's heartbeat quickened. She was hesitant to believe it was true. 'I love you, Angel' his words from that night echoed in her mind. "Keep quiet, both of you. Let me listen." Mary said from behind. They all returned their attention back to the television. "This's something..." the anchor was at a loss for words. "But up until now, everyone knew that Crystal Miller is the love of your life. She stated this herself." "Yes. That's why I've come here to correct all of the false information." Xander said sharply. "That means she's lying!" the anchor stated in disbelief. She didn't seem convinced. They had seen Crystal with Xander over the years. This information was difficult to digest. His relationship with Ari
