"I'm so disappointed in you!!""Olivia !" Ariel called in tears as she stood up from the bed immediately ."I'm sorry " she whispered as she wrapped her hands around Olivia's body from behind."I don't know what got into me , I was grieving I didn't know how to handle it " she replied."If someone told me earlier today that you would do this to your Mom, I'd bet my life that you wouldn't" Olivia said."You cried this morning Ariel !""And it took Ma'am Belinda and I to console you !" "Just because you wanted your mom to witness today " she said calmly."Have you forgotten the days you were considering postponing the wedding till she's awake ?!" She whispered."I'm sorry " Ariel cried and Olivia slowly turned to face her as Ariel let go of her slowly "She didn't deserve any of these words you said to her " she said."That she just woke up from the coma aside ,""Have you forgotten how she suffered just to make sure we're happy and comfortable?!" She said."Do you even remember how ex
Ariel just closed her eyes tightly as tears dropped from them . Her Mom wasn't someone to keep hammering on things unless she was really hurt.She couldn't even start to imagine how deeply she must have hurt her Mom as she kept insisting on the same thing with tears dropping from her eyes as she talked.Right now she just wanted to smack herself really hard for all she said.She wished she could turn back the hands of time and go back to earlier and maybe gave a different reaction.She wished she could just undo her actions and free her mom of Whatever pain she was feeling right now.She knew it was easy for her mom to say she forgives her but she knew it wouldn't that easy for her to forget."I love you so much Mom" she whispered."I would never want you dead ""If you're dead my life is pretty much over " she said."I sat at your bed everyday praying and crying that you come back to me ""I never want to see you dead Mom " she whispered."It didn't seem like that to me earlier " he
"So his Mom asked you to marry him?!" Miranda asked as they ate and Ariel nodded."Yes " Ariel said as they nodded."How exactly did you guys meet?!" She asked."Weeks after you got shoot I was on my way to see you " "And then I decided to do grocery first " "I saw her there , wobbly walking and all and then I decided to help her ""She looked like she was going to faint any minute" "Some days later she contacted me again and told me about it " "You should have just left her to die " Miranda mumbled but they heard her anyways."Mom!" Ariel and Olivia called simultaneously."Just go on " she replied and Ariel looked at her with uncertainty before continuing."I refused initially but when your bills got higher and we could no longer keep up , I decided to do it " she said."Olivia tried to convince me otherwise but my mind was already made up " she said."You didn't want to ask my brother ?!" Miranda asked and she shook her head."He doesn't care , he didn't even bother to show his
Meanwhile .....5:00pm ....Xavier drove into his compound, brought the keys out of his pocket and handed it over to Rose."Third room down the hall way , I'll be back soon " he said in an hurry."Xavier I ...""Rose please , just go in when I come back we'll talk " he said and she nodded slowly and stepped out quietly."I'll be back soon , " he repeated as she slammed the door and he zoomed out immediately.The Dunlop's Residence ...."You do not recognize her ?!" Belinda asked Anders."If I did then I wouldn't be standing here asking you that question."I don't recognize her either " she replied."I have no idea who she is too " she replied."Then what was that look you passed her when you guys eyes jammed , what was that look she gave you " he asked "Didn't she stare at you the same way ?!" She replied looking at Anders ."Didn't she stare at you like that and even with more anger ?!" She growled."Then if we had no idea who she is then why exactly was she staring at us like that
Later that night ....7:30 pm ..."I made your dinner " Xavier heard Rose say and he turned towards the dinning table to see her there."Welcome " she whispered as she slowly put her hands behind her."Rose I'm not in the mood for this " he replied immediately and continued walking upstairs."Xavier please wait " she said as she ran up to him."Still you have to eat " she said as she stood in front of him."How can I even eat , you witnessed all that happened today Rose , I can't eat " he said and walked away from her she quickly grabbed his hands and pulled him back to face her."Are you still mad at me ?!" She asked and he turned fully to her and moved closer to her ."What happened in the past was a long time ago" Xavier said."I've forgiven you a long time ago and I'm definitely no longer mad at you ""Back then , I realized you wouldn't have done that to me and I accepted that and forgave you " he said."I'm happy to see that you're healthy and alive now ""But things are so much
"Baby !" Ariel called immediately she walked into the compound and Xavier walked out of the house."My love " he called as he ran up to her and pulled her into a tight hug."Aww my baby " he whispered as they disengaged and Ariel immediately raised her self to stand on her tiptoe as she slammed her lips on his.He smiled against her lips as he wrapped his hands around d her waist and pulled her closer as he slowly let her stand in her feet and bent to her height.He deepened the kiss and they just stood there kissing.Rose was staring at them from upstairs and she just hissed when she saw them not letting go of each other."Is there someone upstairs?!" Ariel asked looking up at the window where Rose was as they disengaged and Xavier turned to look at the window also."No " he replied turning to face her as he led her upstairs."Let's go " he whispered He would have told her about it but he just thought that since Rose was leaving today there was no need to , plus she might be mad abo
Later in the day ...."Mom , I think I need therapy " Ariel said as she walked into Miranda's room."You need therapy ?!" She asked as she sat up on the bed , dropped the book she was reading and took off her glasses.She was connected to drips so her movements were kind of restricted , the doctor said she still needed to be on drips , till she recovers fully."What do you need therapy for ?!" She asked."No matter how hard I try , I still don't feel genuinely happy " she said."I think I need to talk to someone who would help me feel better " she said."You can talk to me , I'll listen" Miranda said."This is not just about listening to me Mom " she replied."I need to talk to a professional , who can help me calm down ""I need to be back to my normal self as soon as possible" she said and Miranda nodded."Alright dear , anything you want " she replied."Do you have someone in mind?!" She asked."Yes , Miguel he's a therapist " she replied and Miranda narrowed her brows at her."You
Next day ....Monday ...Xavier parked his car in front of Miguel's office .He took out his face cap and put it over his head as he wore his sunglasses also, for disguise , not to attract too many attention ."Dude " he greeted Miguel immediately he walked into his office ."How are you doing ?!" Miguel asked as he stood up and they did their bro handshake and hug."I hope you're feeling better " he asked Xavier and he nodded."I'm getting better " he whispered."Besides , I'm more assured knowing Ariel is still in love and interested in me " he replied and Miguel nodded" That's good " he replied."So will Ariel be coming here also ?!" Xavier asked."Did her mom subscribe to the therapy story ?!" He asked."Olivia told me she did , their in their way " Miguel replied."That's perfect" Xavier said."What about Carl ?!" Miguel asked and Xavier nodded slowly."He'll be here also " Xavier said "With Mia ?!" He asked."I don't think so " Xavier replied."I really don't trust those two ,
Three weeks later ....."Will all the matriculating students rise as we take the school pledge " And Olivia stood up with a small smile as she turned to look at Miguel and the others where they were seated and Miguel blew her a kiss.She dramatically caught it and placed it on her chest as she turned back to face the stage and she joined in with the pledge.****"Congratulations baby " Miguel said to her as he pulled her into an hug immediately they were done with the matriculation program."Thank you baby " she replied with a wide smile."Mama " Michaela called excitedly as she ran up to her ."Aww , my baby " she said as she picked her from the floor and swirled her as she giggled happily and she dropped her."Congratulations Bestie , I'm very happy for you " Ariel said as she pulled her into an hug."I love you " she added ."Congrats " Xavier said as he hugged her too."Thank you Xavier " she said."My baby " Miranda said as she walked up to her ."I'm super proud of you ""Thank
Liam's residence...."Listen , your sister is still alive " Rise said to Liam."You don't mean it !" He replied."I saw her with my own eyes today !" She replied."But we seem to be safe though , she has Amnesia" she said."Still we need to act fast ""After what Mia did , I don't think we can trust her again""We can't even trust her " he added and she nodded ."So now what do you plan to do next ?!" She asked."Hmm "" The past few days got me thinking really deeply " he said and I've come up with just the perfect plan " he said."But for now " he murmured and moved closer to her ""I missed you " he murmured."Your dad is upstairs!" She said immediately and he laughed "You lie , he already left " he said and they bursted out laughing."So you missed me " she asked as she moved closer to him."Hm hm" he replied as he placed his lips on hers and she giggled as they kissed."Rose ?!!" Xavier called as he barged into the house and she jumped on the chair immediately and stood up "Xav
"I do " she whispered immediately."Is my Mom really dead ?!" She asked in a whisper and Carl nodded slowly."She is " he whispered and she bursted out wailing."I'm sorry " he said as he pulled her into an hug ."Liam is such a bastard " she said after some minutes of crying."He has said it and he did it " she murmured."He killed our mothers, my own innocent mother !!" She said as tears began to fall from her face again."Now you can bring him to book " Carl said and she nodded."Him , my dad and Rose !" She whispered."They'll all suffer for what they did to me !" She replied."Rose ?!""Did you just say Rose ?!" Carl asked."Yes , Rose !" She replied ."Oh my God Xavier needs to hear this " he said as he picked up his phone and put a call across to Xavier immediately.Meanwhile 7:00 pm ...At The Dunlop's Residence ....Xavier slowly walked to the rooftop of the house and took his seat on the wall way up there, turning to face outside, any small push could send him flying downsta
"What ?!!!" Xavier and Ariel chorused immediately.And the two women turned to look at them immediately."How dare you insinuate I'm cheating on my husband" Belinda growled."Whether you are or whether you're not , I don't really care ""All I care about is my daughter meeting with her father and getting the recognition she deserves!!" She replied."Your daughter is meeting no one !" Belinda said."She won't get a dime of what my son has worked for!" She said."Not every one is as shallow as you Belinda""My daughter doesn't need Anders or his money!!" She replied ."She just deserves to know who her father is !" She said."Anders can never be her father !!" Belinda said."Anders has only one child the whole world knows and that's Xavier !!" Belinda said and Miranda laughed."Then explain to me , why some months ago you offered me money just so that I don't talk to Anders about Ariel!""If you knew she wasn't his daughter why did you offer me money to go far away and not come into you
"What ?!!!" Everyone one of them yelled even Olivia ."This is bullshit !!" Ariel said immediately and she stood up."I'm out of here" she said and picked up her bag and stormed towards the door."Dude !! " Miguel said and Xavier stood up immediately and ran to her."Look I was drunk , I didn't know what I was doing ""I had no idea what I was doing, I was highly intoxicated " he said and he held her hands.She snatched her hands from him and turned to face him."So You have the right to cheat on me , because you were drunk?!""So after I left your house yesterday , she didn't leave , she was still there ?!" She said."You know after Miguel's speech , I was considering forgiving you ""Because ofcourse you're only human and we all make mistakes " she said."But this ?! Fucking your ex ?!""It wasn't a mistake Xavier , it's a choice you made !""Something you chose to do and I can't live with it !!" She said and wiped the teras on her face."I'm sorry , I was drunk I mistook her for yo
Later in the day .....10:00 am ..."I'm sorry for speaking to you rudely yesterday " Xavier said to Miguel over the phone "That's alright," he replied."She's leaving this morning" he said."She's packing her things already " he said and Miguel nodded."Okay ""What's done is done there's no need to cry over spilled milk " he said and Xavier nodded slowly."Did Ariel agree to come here ?!""What did Olivia say " Xavier asked."She'll be coming in by one clock today " Miguel replied and Xavier looked up to see Rose dragging her bag downstairs."Thank you , let's all meet at your office today , we need to talk " he said."What's going on , what happened that it's so important we have to talk ?!"

7:00 pm ..."Oh my God" Xavier murmured as he staggered inside the house "Xavier " Rose called at once as she stood up and limped towards him, holding the chair for support."You're drunk " she Said"Drunk ?!" He replied with a tut."I'm not drunk " he replied "What is wrong with you ?!!" She asked as she wrapped her hands around his waist and placed his hands over his neck as they both staggered to the largest sofa in the living room."I'm perfectly fine " he replied with a small laugh."I'm good " he added."You don't look good " she replied as she stood up about to walk away and get him water , the expression in his face changed immediately."Ariel " he whispered as he held her hands ."I'm not ...
