Ariel's POVWednesday Evening 5:00pm ..."Excuse me?!" I yelled , I looked around and realized almost everyone in the cafe were staring at me weirdly, I slowly retreated and bent my head , waving my hands and whispering sorry.I looked at the woman in front of me, she didn't even look bothered. She just sat elegantly staring at me, I watched her as she slowly picked up her cup of coffee took a sip , she put it down and resumed staring at me .She didn't even look like she just requested for something weird."So what's your answer" she repeated and I almost screamed.If and only if I knew this was what she wanted to say to me I wouldn't be here.What exactly does she think I am, I might not have money but I'm not desperate.****3 days ago ....Sunday evening ..."Ma'am, are you alright" I asked rushing up to the woman in front of me.I came to get something at the supermarket and then I noticed this woman.Her walking steps were disorderly and I could tell she wasn't okay.I left what
Ariel's POV"I should talk to her " I said to Olivia and she turned to look at me sharply.We were seated in the lobby contemplating on what to do. We have less than forty eight hours to do something quick if we really want my mother alive.Over these few days her condition has gotten pretty worse."What do you mean you would talk to her " Olivia retorted."Olivia , this is my mother we're talking about ""Right now I don't have any major paying job""We're living off the small income you earn as a waitress " "Even if you collect one year in advance of your salary we still won't be able to pay up the bills""Or if I get a job today it still doesn't change a thing, we need to pay mother's hospital bills in two days!""Two days Olivia Two days" I whisper-yelled holding two fingers up."Where do we find that kind of money Olivia , where?!" I asked "Let's go back to your mother's brother and beg him to loan us" she suggested"We've gone there countless of times what good has come out o
Ariel's POVNext Day ...Thursday Morning 8:00am ...I came down from the taxi and looked up at the huge building.I guess I'm doing this, I exhaled and pressed the bell at the gate .While waiting for someone to get the gate , I almost turned to run away but I had one thousand and one reasons not to. My legs remained rooted to the floor.I loved my mother so much and I'll do whatever it is that I can for her.Including marrying a total stranger.My mother has a rich younger brother , not just rich but rich rich , I wonder why he's doing this to us though.The sound of the opening gate brought me back to reality and I looked up."Ohh, it's you" he said and opened it wider for me to come in."Is madam in" I asked and he nodded."Alright, I'll just go see her real quick" I said and walked inside.I walked in slowly and took notes of the surrounding, these people are filthy rich.And rich people are most of the times, bad news.One of the helps ushered me into the living room and I greet
Ariel's POVTwo days later ...Saturday Evening 4:00 pm ......"I'll be on my way Livia" I yelled across the living room, it was a small house so she could hear me."Alright! , Be safe" she said and I walked out of the house.Mother actually went for the surgery and it was successful, she went into a medically induced Coma , the doctor said she would be back to normal within two days .But as of today, she hasn't moved a finger.I just hope she'll be fine ,I really just want her to be okay.Earlier today , Ma'am Belinda texted me and asked to meet up with her today.I'm finally meeting her son, I just hope he's physically okay because if he's not I don't think I can take it .She sent some money to me earlier to get a new dress and pull up in a nice taxi.I stood at the bustop and flagged down a taxi as I reached for the door to get in , I saw someone reach for it and get in first."That's my Taxi" I yelled but he said nothing and just told the driver to move."Arrogant jerk" I yelled
Xavier's POV In the car ...."She's a really nice girl""She helped me when nobody would have""I'm sure she'll take good care of you""You probably frustrated her" "And obviously you did, you took her taxi!!""You wouldn't accept it if someone does that to you either" Mom said."But still ...""You want me to support you , but I won't do that""You were wrong " she said sternly and I remained mute."What can I do to make you stop this mom""Nothing" she replied curtly."Get your house organized , she's moving in tommorow" she added ."And get your car fixed" "Or better still , change it , it's getting pretty old" she said and I nodded."How are things going at the office " she asked."Great!""And the Beurna corp project?!""We're pushing through" I replied."You should do whatever you can to make sure none of your uncle's plan succeeds" she said and I nodded."That's great then!".Since I can't stop Mom from making me marry her , I might as well frustrated the hell out of her and
Ariel's POVAt the hospital ....."What's wrong with my mom " I yelled immediately after I got into the hospital."Calm down, Miss Ariel," the nurse said."How can you tell me to calm down when my Mom is dying" I yelled in her face.Olivia held my hands and pulled me behind her."You should see the doctor first," the nurse said to Olivia and she pulled me along to the doctor's office."What the hell is wrong with my mother now" I yelled immediately I got into the doctor's office"Just calm down," Olivia said almost yelling."For the last time don't tell me to calm down""The doctor herself told me my mom's okay now, so what was she telling me now?!" I yelled in reply."Miss Ariel can you please take it easy and have your seat," the doctor said calmly"Just explain to me already please" I hurried tears gathering in my eyes already sitting in front of her."The operation was successful," She said."But recently we just noticed, your mother she's not strong enough to wake up yet""It was

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 !"

"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

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 ...
