Nova felt guilty seeing the sadness on Xander's face, so he explained everything Arabella had told him, "She’s upset too, Xan, but it seems like her hands are tied because of other commitments. After all, she’s a busy COO. She apologized as well and also worried about you misunderstanding her."

"Oh," Xander responded quietly, Nova handed him his phone understanding the disappointment in Xander, "Here, this is her number."

Xander took the phone while asking, "So, when does she want to meet me?"

Nova replied with a smile, "She said any day is fine except tomorrow, so you can choose a date and inform her," Xander nodded and immediately messaged Arabella, asking if she was okay with meeting him in two days. She quickly responded positively as if she is waiting for his message.

    "Bella, I'm sorry," Viola apologised for hiding the truth, she held Arabella's hand with pleading eyes, "I didn’t tell you about the reunion party because I thought you wouldn’t come if you knew, dirty for her hiding about this from you."Arabella rolled her eyes and pointed at the table, "Almost everyone here is one of Natalie's followers, don't you know about that?

Viola knew it already but doesn't Arabella leave because she knew this will be the opportunity for Natalie's true nature to be revealed, this can happen only if Arabella joins this reunion party, "Bella, that was in the past. You’re here now, in the present. Things aren’t the same anymore, you were obedient back then because of your family, but you don’t have to be obedient to anyone now, just be yourself and let them face the reality."Arabella considered Viola’s words and realized she was right. It wasn’t her who needed to be scared of people messing wit

    Natalie snatched Daisy's phone, her face frozen in shock as she read the news article about herself. Before she could fully process it, a voice cut through the tension, "You all were quick to accuse Arabella, but what about this hot news? Natalie’s being called out as a liar, accused of stealing songs to become a popular singer and even stealing someone’s husband to have the title of most eligible bachelor’s fiancee."As they turned to see the person, it was none other than Zayn White standing there.

You better let them know you’re here with an invitation, if not they’ll accuse you also of being shamelessly barging into someone's reunion party."Zayn crossed his arms, unbothered by others' perspective, just smirked, "Th

    Arabella and Zayn looked up to see who had grabbed Zayn's hand, it was none other than Xander. Arabella was startled to see him, and Xander turned to Zayn, with a sharp tone and reddened eyes, "What exactly did you do to her?"Zayn was already confused by the presence of Xander, not only that his anger got him terrified, making him almost stammer, "Huh?"Arabella quickly tried to intervene clarifying the relation in between her and Zayn, "He’s my senior; he didn’t do anything, Mr. Xander. Please let him go," she pleaded wanting him to calm down.Xander let go of Zayn's hand and gently wiped the tears from Arabella’s cheeks. "If he didn’t do anything, then why are you crying? Who made you cry?"Forcing a smile, Arabella replied, moving away, "It’s nothing, I’m okay now."Xander wanted to know what had upset her so badly, but he knew, he couldn't force her to speak, instead, he gently said, "Alright, let’s get out of here, you don't need to stay in a place which made you sad."He reache

    Xander was caught off guard by Arabella's question, and he smiled nervously, trying to find the right words to cover up. "I mean, girls are mostly sensitive, right? That's what I meant, since I've witnessed my sister being sensitive most of the time," he stammered, clearly cursing himself for slipping his tongue.Arabella, gazing at the sky, hummed softly, "Girls are sensitive, yes, but only when there's someone to protect us. When we realize there's no one by our side and that we need to take stand for someone else, we learn to be strong eventually. That's how I became strong too." The wind blew her hair gently, making the unshed tears in her eyes glisten like crystals.Xander tucked her hair behind her ear, softened his tone for her. "There’s always someone you can depend on," he said staring into her deep eyes, "You just need to notice them."Arabella quickly turned away to hide her blush, smiling as she agreed with him, "You're right, Mr. Xander. I do have someone I’ve always depe

    Arabella was deep in thought about Xander, but when the door suddenly swung open, causing her to bump her head against the door. She winced in pain, "Ahhh!"Viola who heard Arabella's scream quickly apologized rushing to check on Arabella, "Bella, I'm so sorry babe." Arabella rubbed her head as she walked inside with a sigh. "How on earth did you open the door without checking the other side, Vio? Ahhh this is so painful like hell.""I didn't expect you to be standing right outside, Bella, if you're to go in, rather than entering why on earth are you standing right behind the door?" Viola questioned her with a curious look. Arabella sat down on the couch still rubbing her head and noticed Abigail and Alexander standing nearby, Zara offered a glass of water and ice pack to Arabella.With a curious glance, Abigail approached her. "Mommy, why didn't you come with Aunt Vio? She said you were with someone else. Who was it?"Arabella was caught off guard by Abigail's sudden question about X

    Arabella was deeply focused on her work when she got a message from Xander asking, "Can we meet today in the afternoon?" As she read the message, a smile spread across her face without her even realizing it. Zara, noticing the smile, can't help but to be curious to find the reason behind that smile, "What made you smiling like that?""Was I smiling?" Arabella asked, a bit surprised by Zara's question. Zara quickly turned on her camera and showed Arabella her own reflection. "Look at that beautiful smile of yours with gentle crimson share on your cheeks," Zara teased her.Arabella was a little surprised, not quite understanding why a simple message made her smile like that. She quickly lowered her head while asking Zara, "Do I have anything important scheduled for this afternoon?"Zara shook her head checking the schedule. "No, you're free this afternoon, are you going out?"Arabella nodded looking at her laptop screen. "I need to meet Mr. Xander, so I'll be leaving this afternoon. If

    "I was worried about you because of that day, and it made me think about you so much that I was anxious as if I almost missed your work," Xander said, causing Arabella to force an awkward smile, "Oh, I'm so sorry about that day. I really showed an awkward side of myself, usually I'm not like that."Xander smiled assuring her gently, "It's okay, Arabella, I understand, being emotional isn't something we can control." The way Xander spelled her name every time made her blush instantly, and Nova, watching from nearby, sighed quietly at the Xander's performance. "Sometimes I wonder if he's always acting, whether on-screen or off-screen. Look at how smoothly he delivers his lines as if the script was already prepared for him."Arabella took out her iPad, trying to focus on the work. "Can we talk about your mother's taste in jewelry?" Xander nodded and glanced at Nova, "Make sure we're not disturbed for a while.""Sure sir," Nova agreed before stepping out giving privacy to both Arabella an

    "More?" Arabella's cheeks turned red with shyness because of the closeness in between them. Xander chuckled while watching her adorable reaction, "Yeah, I thought you'd want to know more about me." Just then, they heard a car horn. Embarrassed, Arabella quickly stepped away from Xander, who smirked to himself as he noticed her flustered face.Arabella nervously adjusted her hair trying to escape from the awkward situation, "Thanks, I will leave now." She hurried to the car, and Xander chuckled softly as he followed her. He opened the car door for her and placed his hand above her head to make sure she didn’t bump it to the car.

"I mean, I hope to see you soon with the rough sketch," he clarified though first thing is what he meant to say. Arabella nodded, giving him a forced smile hiding her embarrassed face.As the car drove away,

    "It's Ruby, Joseph's sister," I said, while clutching my mobile hard.Viola’s smile faltered, replaced by a furious look, "That witch, why is she trying to contact you? What does she want now?"
