“Is she really his fiancée as was rumored by everyone in the company?” She found herself mumbling to herself.

Ariadne got too carried away by her running thoughts that she couldn’t have a good meal during the lunch break. Her mind was preoccupied with how she was going to ask Denver for an explanation.

Although she trusted him, she couldn’t help but be worried. Imaginations of different responses from him kept flashing through her memory.

‘What if this is all true?’ She would stare into oblivion at intervals while working.

Just like that, she spent the day drifting away amidst working and couldn’t be more relieved when it was clocking out hours.

Right as she strengthened up, picked her bag and made to leave the office, she bumped into Estelle in the elevator.

“Miss Bardell, we’re meeting again.” The haughty looking princess called out. Ariadne wasn’t in the mood for her irritations and simply nodded.

Seeing that Ariadne wasn’t speaking to her, Estelle fumed within her but on second

    “Hey little thief.”A hoarse voice burst through her salient thoughts from behind, jolting her back to her surroundings and she quickly turned around to behold the owner of the voice that startled her. Recollecting her action just now, a gasp escaped her lips as she quickly tucked the little rabbit behind her back. Her cheeks heats up with a blush as she fixes her glasses, her hair tresses scattered loosely over her face. She could hear his amused chuckles as he watched her struggle to hide the stuffed plush toy rabbit behind her.‘Oh God this is embarrassing’ She thought as she retreated gradually till she felt her back pressing on the hard pole, looking down at her feet in embarrassment.She could feel his eyes on her, studying her until she couldn’t take it anymore and snapped her eyes to his. Those blue eyes had her sucking in a breath and she gushed slightly.But it wasn’t just his eyes that made her heart flutter, it was the steady and well built body that looks like a work of

Her outfit was a reflection of her vibrant personality - a flowy bohemian dress adorned with intricate patterns, paired with a wide - brimmed hat that cast a playful shadow over her face.

    Having parted ways with Denver, the four girls journeyed back to their room, silence engulfing them all the way. The city lights glittered like a sea of stars as they strode down the street headed towards the major road.On this arid night, only the sound of cicadas chirping could be heard. But Ariadne could hear her own heart pounding as well. Her heart was suddenly beating so quickly because of that scene of Denver and Molly she saw earlier, because they looked so much in love.She supposed he would still be single or perhaps wait for her to attain adulthood. Previously, she had looked through his past and found that he has never been in any romantic relationship. But she was different. The manner in which he treated her was different from his known crude behavior towards women. She assumed that he felt something for her too. ‘Yes.’‘He must have been restrained towards her seeing as she was still under age the fir

    The taxi ride back to the school campus was filled with laughter and chatter as Ariadne and her friends piled into the backseat. The karaoke bar had been a blast, and the joy of the night lingered in the air. Ariadne, in particular, was feeling the effects of the drinks she had consumed, and she was putting on a show of being "drunk.""Hic! You guys, I think I might be a little tipsy," she slurred, leaning against Vanessa with an exaggerated expression.Katniss giggled, playfully poking Ariadne's cheek. "Oh, come on, Ariadne! You had, like, one drink!""Exactly! And I'm a lightweight!" Ariadne proclaimed dramatically, earning laughs from her friends.Connie, who was sitting on her other side, shook his head with amusement. "You're too funny, Ari. But don't worry; we'll get you safely back to the dorm."Ariadne waved her hand dismissively. "Nah, I'm good! I can walk straight... watch me!" She proceeded to walk in a comi

    The buzzing sound of her alarm sent Ariadne jerking up from her peaceful slumber. Her tired eyes forced their way open only for them to clench back shut almost immediately, due to the lethal glare of the early morning sun seeping into their dorm room.A tired groan escaped her parted lips as she stressed her lazy limbs before placing them on the edge of her bunk as she turned on her left arm to continue her sleep.Another booming sound from the alarm had her finally dragging herself up from her sleepy state. Stretching her arms overhead, she welcomed the morning with a contented sigh.With her eyes still half closed, she rummaged through her bed in search of her phone. When she found it, she tapped on the screen and scrolled through her checklist to register her activity for the day.Recalling the text message from Denver yesterday, her eyes flickered wide open and she quickly recollected herself, hurriedly got down from the bed like a nocturnal hamster, slapped her palms on her face a

    Stepping inside the restaurant enclosure, Denver took a glance at his wristwatch as he reiterated, “the time is half past twelve noon, now it’s still early. We have enough time to catch up on so many things. But let’s have a nice meal first”Tilting his glasses, he extended his hand to Ariadne nudging her to place her palm in his hand. Ariadne took his hand slightly and clasped it tightly with her palm, a satisfactory smile tugging at her lips. Denver noticed the smile and chuckled dryly.They trudged in unison as they headed towards the table and sat down. Denver had already made reservations for it ahead. While waiting for the waiter, Denver broke the silence.“So why didn’t you tell me beforehand that you were admitted to Leyland University?”“We don’t keep in touch because I don’t have your contact, so I couldn’t have told even if I wanted to” she responded.“Ohh, is that so?”“I even thought someone has been keeping tabs on me over the years” He added, smirking.“You knew?” Ariadn

    Tsk tsk tskIf you think that some feelings of discomfort can be brushed off by just acting unbothered, then you’re wrong.You’re even more wrong to believe that a woman in fury will let you off just after a little squabble over meals.Sometimes, the devil you want to avoid does nothing extra, but derives pleasure in digging his long pruning fork deep in your throat. And you can’t do anything else but try to dodge it or at most, take cover. After a very pleasant meal. Oh yea, it’s pleasant to Denver. At least that’s what he thought. Okay, let’s reduce the sarcasm.After a very heated meal. Right, that’s the right word. But cease to imagine that the ‘heat’ is from the meal. I was actually referring to the heat of someone’s eyeballs digging holes on another with smug plastered all over her. Just when the meal is finally over and Ariadne is about to heave a sigh of relief thinking that she will finally get spared of the dark glaring eyes and get to enjoy spending time alone with Denver

    Denver was more shocked than surprised to hear those words. There could only be one person in the world who would dare to say those words to him. That person could only be Estelle Hargensen, the girl his mother had betrothed to him when he was a child. Estelle hence can be said to be his betrothed fiancée. He clenched and unclenched his fist nervously. He had already forgotten about her and her entire existence, having not seen her in the past ten years because she had been abroad all the while.‘Why is she back in Maldonia now? Did my mother ask her to return or was it her own intention?’ He thought.Denver thought about Ariadne and the possibility of Estelle’s return coming in the way of his relationship with Ariadne and fear knotted inside him. “Hello! Are you there?” The voice from the other end came again, jolting him back from his assailing thoughts.“What do you want?” He finally responded when he found his voice.“I’m at the airport.

    With that thought, she lifted herself on one toe and planted a kiss on his cheeks. Seeing that he wasn’t fazed, she repeated the action again on the other side of his face. The third time, she went directly for his lips and bumbled on them. She kept trying to gain access to him. It seems like Denver was out to punish her for he refused to part his lips to give her full access.When she appeared to be getting tired and was about to give up, he snaked his hand behind her neck and drew her head closer, pressing it firmly against his lips and he took full control of the kiss, cradling her head in his hands. He kissed the nape of her neck, making the world go away with each kiss. She was fully consumed by his kisses. When he finally broke it, she was struggling to catch her breath and she staggered backwards.However, Denver was reluctant to let go. She was still struggling for breath when he inched very close to her once again, so close that they were almost a breath away, catching her

    Ariadne could not believe her ears when she heard it. She angrily walked up to Grace to confront her. “What’s this talk all about? Why are you maligning me?” She asked, staring at Grace with iciness in her glare. Her fists were clenched tightly, desperate to punch somebody’s mouth until sense returned to the person’s head. “What?” Grace retorted defiantly, standing up to Ariadne. She looked like a little kitten challenging the neighbor’s well-bred fat cat when she did so.“Did I say anything wrong? I saw you dropping off a Mercedes Benz a few blocks away from the company today! You were dropped off by an older man. Am I wrong?” She said in a high pitched voice and hissed loudly.Ariadne was at her wit’s end at the girl’s opinionated display of superiority. Yet, she did not fret and rather tried to calm herself down so as not to explode.Grace felt aggrieved. She had seen Ariadne coming down from the passenger’s side of a Mercedes Benz. When she strained her neck to see who dropped

    The young man could feel his feet trembling due to fear and he summoned courage to refute it. “I didn’t do anything. So what if my screen captured me? It’s my workspace.”He knew how camera monitoring works, so he was thinking that as long as he doesn’t admit it, they can pin it on him.But what happened next is what he didn’t expect. One of the burly men snatched the laptop inside the bag the young man slung over his stomach and brought it to Ryker. Ryker took it and connected it to the big screen. In a minute, everyone was staring at a system virus on the big screen.“Then what is this virus on your computer?” Ryker threw the question at him and continued almost. “This virus is added to the defense force of the company’s internal network system as a phishing function. You are a tech guy and don't need me to explain to you what a phishing function is”“The key is, this virus can only be on a person’s laptop if the person attacks and invades our company’s internal network system.”T

    “How long have they waited?” Denver asked Ryker as soon as his car drove into the company’s parking lot. Ryker was already waiting for him downstairs.“Almost two hours.” Ryker responded.Denver simply nodded his head and walked into the company building.When he got to the top floor, he entered the conference room and sat down at the head of the conference table.The shareholders quietened down at the sight of Denver. They all wore their serious faces and warmed themselves up to throw accusing fingers.As soon as he slumped into his seat, he signaled for the meeting to commence, while he sat down to watch the drama unfold.At that time, one of the shareholders volunteered himself and stood up. The shareholder, Oliver stood tall and his height kind of looked intimidating. But Denver was not fazed.“We’re a network company. We provide top tier service to the premium of the society. Most other companies as well as their advertising cooperatives rely on us to effectively promote their br

    Kyle was at a crossroad. Seeing as Ariadne had succeeded in eliciting a satisfactory smile from her, she could not give her a hard time at the moment.She figured that if she were to make a fuss right now, it would contradict her initial smile of satisfaction towards Ariadne’s gift and the guests might catch a hint of what is happening.If this were to happen, wouldn’t the guests regard her as a petty woman? Hence, she could only continue to pretend to be satisfied and walk away wearing a plastic smile on her face.When Molly saw how Ariadne had effortlessly scaled through what she had presumed to be a crisis, she could feel her fragile heart fall from a great height and she shatter into pieces.Although Molly tried to hide the foul expression on her face, Ariadne noticed it and smiled in her mind.‘Hmph! You must have been thinking that I would make a fool of myself before Denver’s mother? Shocked huh?’On second thought, she thought that she would spend a little more time at the pa

    Ariadne stood rooted to a spot. The elegant lady standing before her was Denver’s mother, Kyle Brent-Wesley, the well known President of BrentWes Group who’s always in the financial news.She remembered Molly’s warning in the past. Molly had reprimanded her to stay away from Denver, telling her not to overrate herself because Denver’s mother would never approve of her. Denver showing up with her at his mother’s birthday was a surprise that could turn out to be very disastrous.‘How would she react to this surprise?’“Come over and say hello to my mom.” Denver couldn’t help but whisper to Ariadne while still wrapping his arm around her waist since she seems to be lost in her thoughts.Ariadne snapped out of her reverie, curled her lips into a sweet smile and inched closer. “Nice to meet you, Miss Brent-Wesley. Happy Birthday.” She greeted, bowing her head slightly as a sign of respect to one’s elder. She heard the elderly woman preferred being called Ms instead of Mrs because she was

    Widening her eyes, she screamed, “Ariadne! How dare you embarrass me like this?! Watch what I do to you!”Molly couldn’t control herself. But due to the ravaging eyes around, she could only suppress her anger. “Ariadne. I know what you are, two faced bitch. I will make sure to keep you far away from Denver.” She mumbled to herself.But Ariadne was far gone and couldn’t hear whatever she was saying now. It was just the gathering crowd clustering around to poke nose into the issue that was listening to her now.Hiding her face with her purse, she ran out of the mall with great speed, away from the trailing eyes of the curious onlookers.Few days later, the day for Denver’s mother’s birthday party finally came.
