Ariadne sat in the receiving chair of Dr. Cook's room at Kind Hospital in Purple City. She held a report card that the doctor had given her. Tension was written all over her face as she reviewed the report. It was her son, Alexander's report card. "Don't we have other hospitals that can perform this surgery?" Ariadne asked the doctor, after reviewing the report. "The surgery is quite complicated. Only a few hospitals around the world have the resources to perform this surgery, and Grace Children's Hospital has the highest success rate. They have risen to become the world's best pediatric hospital, in recent years. It will be the best option for your son." the doctor explained. "How much time will it take for his surgery and recovery?" "It will take around a year if the surgery is successful." "One year!" Ariadne panicked. "Yes, after being admitted to the hospital, he will be monitored for a few days before undergoing surgery. He will need to stay about two months in

Xander was having dinner with a business partner at their house. He had come to Silas City for the inauguration of a joint project with the Anderson Group. Mr. Kevin Anderson, president of Anderson Group, had invited him to dinner at their mansion. Xander had never involved himself in these types of family dinners with a business partner, but the Andersons were longtime friends of the Blakes. His grandfather would have wanted him to attend the dinner. William had kept his distance from him for the past five years, but Xander still attended the dinner to honor his sentiment before returning to Zavion City. After dinner, Xander and Jose sat on the couch opposite Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, having a casual conversation. A little girl came and stood in front of Xander. He raised an eyebrow at her as the girl was staring at him expectantly. He remembered she was Mr. Anderson's daughter as she kept staring at him throughout the dinner. Normally children avoided Xander because of his intim

At the Miller residence, Emma entered Crystal's room just as the latter was applying moisturizer before going to bed. The house was silent as everyone had retired to their rooms. It was almost midnight. "How did your dinner date go?" Emma asked as she sat on the bed. "It's good, Mom." Crystal replied. "Did you talk to him about your marriage?" "Actually, no. We didn't get the time to talk about this." "Crystal, baby, you have to make time and talk with Xander. It's been five years now, and he still hasn't married you. You are already twenty-nine. When will you two get married?" Emma expressed her concern. "We will marry soon, Mom." Crystal said casually. "You have been saying this for the last five years." "Why are you so impatient, Mom? He just needs some time. Everyone knows we are together." Crystal became irritated. "There's huge difference between being in a relationship and being the wife." Crystal sighed as she approached her mother and sat beside h

There was dead silence when Ariadne explained her proposal. She had years of experience describing proposals to their clients. Her voice was confident, reflecting her experiences. The way she described the plan was so convincing that everyone looked at her in awe. While Xander and Crystal had surprise and disbelief on their faces, Mr. Wright and Mr. Hugh appeared to be impressed by Ariadne. She poured her heart and soul into this plan. It was not because it was an important project for their company, but because she had a dream of planning an ideal hospital. Because of Alex's treatment over the years, she had visited many hospitals and observed how certain aspects could be improved. Since then, she had begun designing an ideal children's hospital, hoping that one day she would be able to make it a reality. The lights in the room turned on after she finished explaining her plan, and her figure appeared in sight. "I am done with the presentation. Please ask if you have any quest

Ariadne closed her eyes, frustrated. It was Crystal who called her. The other representatives looked at her with curiosity. She smiled awkwardly at them before turning around to see Crystal and Xander standing near the meeting room. She didn't want to face Xander or Crystal, but she had no choice. Mr. Hugh and Mr. Wright also emerged from the meeting room at that time. "We should leave as well." Mr. Wright informed Xander. "Ok. We will meet tomorrow." Xander said, looking at Ariadne, who was approaching them slowly. "Ok, sure." Mr. Wright and Mr. Hugh walked towards the exit. Mr. Wright smiled at Ariadne as they passed through the corridor, and she returned the smile politely. With only three people remaining, The corridor fell silent. Crystal and Xander also began walking towards Ariadne. Ariadne didn't miss how Crystal held Xander's arm. 'Nothing has changed. It's the same as in the past.' Ariadne sighed. 'You can do this.' Before Ariadne could say anything,

At Grace Children's Hospital "Everything's fine, Miss Ariadne. We will run a few more tests to be sure. But I don't think there will be any issues. He is a very cooperative child. We can perform the surgery in two weeks." The doctor informed Ariadne. "Oh, that's good. Thank you, Doctor." "You are welcome." Ariadne exited the doctor's office. She had come to the hospital to stay the night with Alex. Jennifer dropped her off at the hospital after they had dinner in the suite. As Tiara had gone out of town for some important business, leaving only Mary and Ariadne with the children. Mary would stay with Adrian and Autumn in the suite tonight, while Ariadne would stay in the hospital. She went to the doctor first to get an update on Alex's surgery. She entered the room and saw Alex reading a comic book. He looked up and saw her. "Mommy." He exclaimed excitedly, grinning. "Alex." Ariadne approached the bed and hugged him. "Will you stay with me tonight, Mommy." He asked wit

"Wow, beautiful." Someone exclaimed, jolting Xander out of his daze. There stood a man in a black suit, and beside him was a gorgeous woman dressed in a white gown. Crystal's attention also shifted to the newcomers. "Isn't it Zidane Watson?" A woman exclaimed. "Yes, it's him. He is so handsome in person as well." Another woman replied. Zidane Watson was a well-known personality, and everyone had seen him on the news or television, if not in person. "By the way, who's the woman beside him?" Crystal looked at the woman but chose not to say anything. "Mr. Watson is unmarried. She might be his girlfriend. She's gorgeous." The other woman guessed. Xander clenched his jaw as he heard what they said. His gaze was focused on Ariadne. He could not help but admire how beautiful she was. Ariadne and Zidane walked down the hall, talking to each other. They paid no attention to the gazes directed at them. Anyone can tell they have a close bond. "Oh, here they are. Excuse me."

Ariadne kept her distance from Xander and Crystal throughout the party. Even when they sat down for dinner, she continued to converse with the other guests. As expected, Xander sat with Crystal, while Ariadne sat beside Zidane. After dinner, everyone left. Ariadne left with Zidane which didn't escape Xander's eyes. "Mr. Watson and Aria seemed very close. They may have denied it in public, but I doubt they are together." Crystal stated, glancing at Xander. They were on their way to Miller Residence. "She always has good taste. She was after you in the past, and now it's Zidane Watson. After you, he is the wealthiest and most eligible bachelor around." Crystal added as there was no response from Xander. "It's their personal matter." Xander replied, refusing to discuss the subject. "Of course, I am just curious. Aria has changed a lot. I am very happy for her." Crystal smirked, noticing Xander's foul mood at the mention of Ariadne. After dropping Crystal off at the Miller Resi

At Blake Corporation... "Xander, did you sell your property on the market place to Ariadne?" Crystal asked while sitting in Xander's office. She was furious after hearing the news. She had come to meet him. "How did you find out about it?" Xander asked, his attention fixed on the documents in front of him. "Um...I know your property manager's secretary. She told me." she replied hesitantly. Xander only nodded, saying nothing. "I'd asked you to give me that property. I was even willing to give you a big share. But you declined." Crystal added. A few years ago, Crystal started her own clothing line. She wanted Xander's property for her clothing line. However, Xander denied her because the Miller Group already owned a few properties in the city. "You don't need that property. I've already told you." Xander said casually ignoring her displeasure. "But, Xander..." "I sold the property for the partnership." Xander cut her off. "What? You and Ariadne have become partners!" Cryst

"After one week, we will begin the therapy." Mr. Wright said looking at Alex's reports. Everyone was overjoyed at the news. "Yeeee. I'll be able to walk." Alex exclaimed with joy. Ariadne hugged him. She couldn't hold back her tears. "Yes, baby. You will walk like your siblings." she kissed his temple. Autumn clapped excitedly while Adrian smiled. They were all in Alex's room at the hospital. The entire family visited the hospital. The children were overjoyed as they had the opportunity to spend the time with the entire family after a long time. After a while, Ariadne and Mr. Wright left the room. "He's doing well. He has already begun to move his legs." Mr. Wright said as they walked out of the room. "Thank you Mr. Wright. It's all because of you and the doctors." Ariadne smiled. Alex was able to move his legs now. He was overjoyed the first time he moved his legs. But he couldn't bend them. Doctors had told him not to move his legs any further because they were stil

The next day, news channels aired photos and videos from Xander's engagement party. However, Xander and Ariadne's dance drew the most attention. "What sort of nonsense is this?" Crystal was furious. She immediately called Xander. "Have you seen the news?" she blurted out as soon as he answered the call. "What news?" Xander hadn't seen the news because he rarely saw anything other than business-related news. "From last night. It's all over the news channels and social media." "About our engagement? What's wrong with that?" "Nothing is wrong with our engagement. But instead of our engagement, your and Ariadne's dance has become the hot topic. Everyone is making stories out of it as she was your ex-wife. They're even questioning our relationship. Why did you have to dance with her?" Crystal appeared frustrated as she vented her rage. "You're overreacting, Crystal." Xander said, massaging his temple. His head was aching from drinking last night. He didn't sleep well eit

(At Miller Residence) "Finally. I'm now officially Xander's fiancee. Soon, I'll be the Blake family's lady." Crystal smiled as she leaned against the headboard of her bed, holding a glass. "Cheers!" Catherine yelled from beside her, and they raised their wine glasses in celebration. "I'm happy for you. You deserve it, Crystal. Only one woman can have Xander Blake, and that's you. Not that bitch, Ariadne." she added. Crystal's face turned ugly when she heard the name. She gritted her teeth. "She will never have him. I've worked so hard for this day. What has she done to get him? Nothing. It was I who was always by his side... It was I who always obeyed him like a dog. That bitch has only insulted him, gone against him, and argued with him." she paused. "But still.. The only thing he sees is her. Ariadne, Ariadne and Ariadne...." she gritted her teeth. "But I'm not one to back down. I've always wanted to be the Queen, and he's the king. So Ariadne had to leave the picture.

Ariadne turned around and saw Xander standing behind them. "Mr. Blake. Come, join us." Mr. Montecarlo said. Xander took a step forward and stood between Crystal and Ariadne. He looked at Ariadne with a frown. She averted her gaze. "Congratulations, Mr. Blake." Zidane said, saving Ariadne from his intense glare. They shook hands. "Miss Miller, congratulations to you as well. I forgot to greet you earlier" he said to Crystal. "It's ok...Thank you." "I didn't know you have three children." Xander went right to the point. "Yeah, we were talking about it... she managed her work and three children at the same time." Georgia praised Ariadne. "I have help at home to look after my kids. Now that they have grown up, it's not as difficult." "How old are they?" Georgia asked. "Four years." "We hadn't met your other child." Xander interrupted. Ariadne paled, unsure what to say. Zidane gave her a concerned look. "He has some health issues, so he doesn't go out as much as

"You are looking at the wrong woman." Toby's words jolted Xander out of his thoughts. He looked at him and saw him smirking. He shot him a death glare before returning his gaze to the entrance. This time, he noticed Crystal with a pink gown in front of Ariadne. Crystal arrived with Catherine by her side. Ariadne was just behind them, with Tiara. Crystal's face darkened when she noticed Xander was looking at Ariadne. She deliberately arrived late to draw everyone's attention to herself. However, they arrived at the same time at the venue, and Xander looked at Ariadne first instead of her. She should have been the one to capture his attention. She cursed Ariadne internally for ruining her entry. However, she composed her expression quickly. Everyone looked at Crystal as she moved through the crowd. She approached Xander with a smile. Xander smiled back. Ariadne, on the other hand, joined the crowd with Tiara. They met with Crystal and Catherine outside as they arrived at the same

"I heard that you have been looking for a property for a while... And that you're interested in a particular property on the market place." Ariadne's eyes grew wider. She had been looking for a property for her jewelry brand, which was set to launch in Zavion City. She was particularly interested in the properties on the market place. She had also found one, but it belonged to Xander. So, she didn't make any progress on purchasing that property. "I've never wanted to sell that property, but I don't have any plans for it either." Xander continued. "So I've a proposal for you. I'm ready to sell you the property... but there's one condition." "What condition?" Ariadne narrowed her eyes at him. "I want to be a business partner of Autumn Collection... precisely... a shareholder." he said. "We don't have a business partner.." "I know. But you need one right now." "We don't..." "Shhhh." he cut her off. "Don't be irrational. Think about it with your mind as a businesswoman, that you'r
Hate You as much as I Love You 50. A Conversation
The drive to Xander's penthouse was silent. Ariadne remained at the far end, away from Xander. Her dress drenched the seat beneath her. However, he appeared unconcerned. His attention was focused on his phone. Ariadne felt awkward. After what happened at the festival, she wanted to stay away from him at all cost. Unfortunately, she was always caught up in an unexpected situation with him. Furthermore, it was her first time riding with him, which made things even more awkward. She wasn't sure if Xander was aware of it or not. They arrived at the tall building. The large, bright nameplate that read "PEARL" was visible to her. It was one of the most famous buildings in Zavion City. When the car entered the premises, it didn't stop at the front entrance. It rounded the building and came to a stop at the back entrance. She had never been here before, so she looked around curiously. They got out of the car. Xander started walking without saying anything and entered the building. Aria

While the kids were at the old mansion, a couple sat at a corner table in a five-star restaurant on the other side of town. "How did your meeting with Mr. Yang go?" Ariadne asked, sipping her juice. "It was good. The contract will be ours." Zidane winked at her with a smile. Zidane had come to Zavion City to meet with a new client. He met them yesterday. While he was in town, he visited the construction site and observed all of the activities. This time, he stayed at a different hotel that belonged to his friend. He also had some personal work. He did, however, see Ariadne and her children on a regular basis because they were good friends. "So, are you planning to return or will you stay for longer?" Ariadne asked as the meeting with Mr. Yang was the main reason for his visit. "I've received an invitation to Mr. Blake's engagement. I'm thinking about staying to attend his engagement. After all, he's our biggest client." Zidane said. Ariadne shifted in her seat at the mention of
