Ariana dialed Darius's number urgently, but he didn't answer, leaving her increasingly anxious. She could not shake the worry over Kiara's condition, though not in a way that favours Kiara, but her. It could be said, that she was worried for herself, than any other person, especially since Myles had taken her to the hospital. Ariana feared that Myles might have an ulterior motives, possibly planning something that could jeopardize their plans. Both her and Darius's, and Darius, would end up blaming her. He never really believed she could achieve anything on her own, and she isn't trying to, she needs his expertise ideas, especially in her present Condition.She didn't relent, she kept calling and when Darius finally picked up, Ariana was relieved, but too agitated to consider discretion. "Something is happened, and if we don't act fast, everything could fall apart", she voiced out In a rush, forgetting to lower her voice. Usually, she would have tried to ensure no one was listening to
Hours later, more like two days later, Kiara gradually emerged from her unconscious state, she first moved her hands, trying to understand her surroundings, even with her eyes closed. She suddenly felt so hungry that she yearned, then her eyes opened, finding Myles at her bed side. He looked tired, as he snored loudly. She smiles, that is one thing she knows him for, his snoring, the sound of his snore alone, entices her. She could only imagine how long he had been there, for he looked like he haven't gone home, but then, all this may not be real, maybe she is dreaming. She thought to herself. she touched his hair, and his tired expression brightened upon seeing her awake. He exclaimed joyfully and rushed to hug her.Kiara, still thinking she must be dreaming as usual, didn't look very impressed, so she asked coldly."Why are you here? Taking in her surroundings.Myles was hurt that she sounded like she didn't care about him, but he understood that she was just waking up, after hours
Myles felt a wave of crushing disappointment wash over him as the doctor's words sank in. Shattering his heart into million pieces."I am sorry to disappoint you Mr Myles, but the baby she carries isn't yours". The voice kept resounding in his head, that he had to hold his head, as though he was going to loose it.It was even difficult, finding his way out of the office, let alone to his car, he was really broken indeed.He couldn't believe it, he could have swore that she was carrying his child, even his mother had thought so too.No wonder she looks at him like that. No wonder she wants to be with him all the time, No wonder, she asked him, what he was doing being with her, at the hospital, when she would have naturally, felt happy, to see him. No wonder, she wants the vacation to be with Josh, she had been happy, when he walked in, and she totally ignored him. She wants only him". He cries as he kicks his tire, hurting his foot. And that was when he realized he had gotten outside
After Kiara was sure, Myles had left, she turned to face Josh, and he understood her, she was tired of hiding, and hurting him. because while trying to hurt him, she was hurting herself."I don't know how long I will be able to keep doing this". She says, allowing her tears flow freely."I know, I feel terrible watching the both of you suffering this way, even though it is supposed to make me happy, but what is the point, in feeling happy about it, when it doesn't guarantee that you will love me". Kiara stared at him in shock. She had known of his feelings, for her, and he had tried to tell her about it many times, in different ways, but she never thought that he would be so blunt, as to say, he should be happy that she and Myles are having unresolved issues."I know how this may sound Kiara, but I know you know, that I love you, and I see you as that one person that could restore peace into my heart, but I have also realized that, sometimes, we keep things in mind, words unspoken, a
Ariana have not been able to communicate with Darius since after that day, and she really wants to hear from him. She wants to know how it all went, especially since Myles have come back home and is clearly looking like he had been struck by the thunder. That alone tells her that he holds no good news, and what he had expected, didn't turn out as planned, but for her to rejoice, she needs to hear from Darius, she needs to know what happened that day. He had only told her to go home, and she had hoped that he would get back to her, so she knows what really went down that day, but surprisingly, he hadn't called her or messaged her since then, and since she hasn't any reason to worry, she hasn't tried calling him, but his silence is lingering for too long, and she now needs him to call her.She started calling him, and as usual, he was not taking his call at first, and thinking that she would have to call him for more than five times before he finally picks, she decided to try it again,
On the day of Kiara's discharge, she eagerly anticipated Myles arrival to take her home. How ever to her dismay, he was no where to be seen. Despite Josh's presence, her mind and heart, yearns for Myles.she was hoping to use the opportunity to her advantage, she had even planned that she would tell him everything in the presence of Josh, so that he could understand it all better, but looking around, and hoping that he would just walk through those doors, and sweep her off her feet, like he used to do, seem like a futile hope, she was all alone, and it was begining to look like all her plans of telling him the truth, isn't going to work.She stared at Josh, who had spoken on his behalf, explaining how he had stayed back at the hospital, making sure that she was attended to, and she was not left alone, yet he could not show up, on the day she is to go home.She thought of what happened on that day at the hospital room, when she had talked about the vacation, he had been so happy, and w
Ariana also heard the sound of the car, and she got up immediately from her bed. She knows that Kiara was seating by the entrance, she didn't know her plans, but she knows that Kiara, would always want to get Myles's attention to herself. This is the first time she is siting in the living room, it is usually at the garden, and that was why she had poured oil on the floor of the garden so she would fall. Now she was no longer going to the garden, she has learnt her lesson, or gotten the message, it is the living room she wants. She hissed, as she waited patiently, behind the curtains. She wanted to see how Myles would react, after knowing that the child she carries, doesn't belong to him, so she peeked at them, through an opening, so no one actually knows she is watching them. Her joy knew no bounds, at the way Myles walked past Kiara, she almost couldn't believe it, she almost screamed out, she was so very happy, she felt like calling Darius and celebrating her victory with him, but
The next day, Ariana woke up earlier than she used to, since she moved in to the house. The house had a way of making her sleep.more than she would naturally sleep, because of the royal feeling the house gives to her, and the servants at her beck and call, but on this day, she couldn't sleep, she is about to define her future, and so, she waited for Myles outside the house, close to where he parked his car, she was standing confidently resting her back on the car, like she was ready for war, when Myles got out, he noticed Kiara staring at him from the window, She had been staring at Ariana for a while,. before Myles walked out, looking all cute, even though he was clearly not happy, she noticed his mood, when he looked back, and caught her watching him, she didn't try to hide, she was still standing there, She wanted to tell him, but a few more days would not kill her, but then again, the way he stares at her, and the way he's been acting was killing her already, that a few more da
Weeks passed since after then, and Kiara and Myles, decided that it was time for them to take their relationship to the next level. Having conquered a lot, and done with school, and also celebrated their passing out of school and Myles coming into his full power, as the boss of the company, and with the help of Kiara's intelligent, have been able to stand in line as the richest and most sorted company in all the federation, they decided that taking that bold step to feel responsible as a married man and woman, is the ideal thing to do.Myles was super excited to hear that Kiara is finally ready for the next step, and he made plans to make it a grand wedding.Before the day of the wedding, there were so many people coming in, to tell them one thing or the other, on how they could enjoy each other's company and enjoy the marriage, but that was something they already know, they didn't need all that lecture, but it was still very much welcomed.The day of the wedding finally came and they
The wedding between Steve and Ariana, was one of a kind.The ceremony takes place in a beautiful garden, adorned with white flowers and green ivy. It was so colourful and spoke volumes of what the couple felt.A gentle breeze rustles through the leaves and the soft chirping of birds adds to the serene atmosphere.Friends and families are seated in elegant white chairs, eagerly awaiting the union of Ariana and Steve, whom they are yet to set eyes on.Soft instrumental music plays in the background as guests are seated. humming to the music, The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and Joy.The music, soon shifts to a romantic melody as the bridal party begins their walk down the aisle. No one was available to take Ariana to the alter, she didn't have anyone, but she is stunned as Kiara was willing to wheel her down to the alter, and hand her over to Steve, who is looking handsome in his tailored suit, as he stands at the altar, his eyes fixated on the entrance. Waiting for Ariana
When her father saw her walking in, he smiles, he was trying to encourage her, that he would come out soon, but when the judge spoke again, asking, if anyone, any witness could come forward to help the case, before he closes the case, she raised her hands, and everyone turned to her, still her father was in smiles, for he could never have thought that his daughter would raise her hands to speak against him, instead, he believes that it is to support him. He didn't even want her raising her hands to speak, for there was no need, he had already won the case, Darius was dead. He would have been the only one talking, but since he is dead, he wouldn't be bothering anyone ever again.When she was given audience, and was brought forward, she swore to tell the truth and nothing but the truth, and then she began."My father is a good man". She looked around and the expressions on people's faces didn't change, especially since they were not expecting anything less from her. But then, she cont
Darius was getting it hot inside the correctional centre. His only luck was that he is alone in his cell. Darius was hopeful. He initially thought Sonia's father would not hesitate to bring him out, since he also got out, after he was arrested at first. Sonia's Dad, was questioned and he denied having anything to do with him, and since he doesn't have any proof, he will be denied, but then, Darius was hoping he would help him get out, after all, he was working for him, and he may not have any proof of dealings with him, because all the transactions have been with a middle man, yet there is no way his name will not be mentioned, when talking about why he is behind bars, and what he is doing in Myles' company.He had been charged to court, and he will appear before the court in a few days. Ariana have heard about it, and have contacted Myles and Kiara, telling them that she was willing to testify against him and the people he was dealing with. Steve didn't want that, but looking at
Ariana recovered quickly, and though the plans to get married that weekend didn't work anymore, she was fit and ready to go home, two weeks after. The only problem was that, she couldn't walk on her own, without the aid of a wheelchair. Though she was not happy about that, for someone who always walk elegantly, and somehow, she feels that is what Steve had fallen for, but now that she is no longer able to swing her hips and move elegantly, he might stop loving her.She kept looking into the face of the people around her, and wondering what she ever did to deserve their love and forgiveness. Kiara was in smile, and was very supportive, Steve was also staring at her with love, and she started to wonder, if she really deserves Steve, who had not left her sight, since she was taken to the hospital, She forced him to go home and change, but he refused, she even told him that he stinks, and she couldn't breath properly because of the smell from him, yet that did nothing to push him away, i
By the time she was taken to the hospital, she had lost too much blood, she needed a blood transfusion, as soon as possible. Everyone was gravely shaken at the fact that she wasn't saying anything. She lay lifelessly on the bed, And everyone thought she might not make it, especially since just recently had an abortion done on herself. The doctor attending to her came in and demanded to speak with her closest acquaintance. Looking at the doctor, it was evidence that he was scared for his patience, and he doesn't know how to drop the news he had come with.Kiara still didn't know how to react when it came to the case of Ariana, she was scared and worried at the same time, she stared long into the eye of the doctor to respond, when Steve spoke up. "I'm her fiancee, and the closest person she has to herself right now, if there is anything wrong with her, you can tell me". He says, with the fear of hearing the worse.Kiara turned to face him, while Myles had his head bowed low. Steve
Upon hearing the name, Myles and Kiara exchanged glances. How could they have missed it? They have been with this person, and not once did they notice any trace that she is not a she, but a he, and a known he for that matter.All of a sudden, Myles gasped in fear and everyone turned to look at him."What is it my love? Kiara asked, moving closer to him, and touching his shoulder. in a bit to console him."All the documents we collected from the travel is with her, I mean with him". He says, and Kiara got up from her seat. She could not allow Myles go through a loss on her watch. She looked around her, then stopped her stare at Ariana. They both stared at each other, before she asked."How much do you love Steve? Kiara asked her, and she got up to stand equally with her."I love him with my entire being. I have never felt the way I feel for him, for anyone, I am willing to do anything to redeem what he has with you people, because you are both good. I will do anything for him, wethe
Kiara and Myles were still trying to get over what happened at the office. She haven't even had the time to ask him how his journey went, even though it is evident on his face, that he enjoyed his trip, and it seems he got everything he wanted.Kiara kept watching him, wondering why he was acting all distance, and they have not had time to get intimate in anyway, He was just too angry about Steve and his new found love. As a matter of fact, they were just troubled by the fact that Steve chose Ariana of all people. While contemplating on it all, they got a notification that they had visitors. Kiara wonders who that could be, at such a time. People shouldn't visit at that time, but om a second thought, they never used to have visitors, except family members, but also, since the guards that came to notify them, didn't see it as a problem, that means, they know the visitor and had come to tell them that someone needed to see them, and wouldn't leave to come back the next day, they deci
She found herself a seat close to her, and Ariana had to look deep into her eyes to be sure of what she was looking at. Then she whispered."Darius? He smiles, then later changed his tone and started laughing like a lady."They are all busy inside, discussing you, so I don't have much time to waste. But I like your smart move, getting acquitted with a worker of Myles, and even allowing him come to introduce you to them, means you move fast and you have a plan. I like the way you move". He says. Ariana wanted to tell him that with Steve, it was not a game, but she decided to get all the fact about what he was doing at Myles company under the name Serah Julius as her badge says, and why he was even chosen to travel with him. Speaking of moving fast, It was Darius. whatever he was up to isn't good, and he needs to be stopped, before he destroys something."What are you doing here Darius? She asked. Looking around, to be sure she isn't seen."Doing that same thing you are here to do. I h
