Richard received a call from Tessa. She pleaded with him to have lunch with her, there is a lot they needed to talk about. Richard wouldn't accept the invitation but after several pleas from Tessa he decided to meet up with her but added a condition, he would decide where to meet and Tessa agreed. Arianna received a notification, popping up on her system. She's being invited by the CEO to his office. She stood up and went. In front of Jace was the company's attorney. She walked in, she glanced at Jace but the latter wore a poker face, it's difficult to know exactly what's going on in his head. Rather than Jace Hudson saying anything, the attorney spoke "I am Jared Spike, the attorney for the Hudson's holding. And I guess you are Miss Arianna Jason?" Jared chimed, standing on his feet and taking Arianna's hand. "You're right. Nice meeting you, Attorney Jared" Arianna replied and smiled back. "My pleasure" Jared Spike said and continued " I need
"Oh!" Genesis grunted and chuckled aloud. Her boyfriend held hands with his ex in a quiet secluded restaurant and he said it's not what she thinks. If she heard correctly, his ex was saying something about love in his eyes or whatever nonsense she shamelessly uttered. And he said it's not what she thinks? "Not what I think? You know what I'm thinking?" Genesis' tone changed and she didn't wait for Richard to answer before asking another question "Tell me what I am thinking then. Just tell me what you were doing with your ex-girlfriend when you brought her to lunch and romantically held each other's hand. Tell me, Richard Delmark " Genesis inquired. Tessa wore an innocent expression but inwardly she was rejoicing. If only Richard could see her heart,he would see that she is dancing there. Let them fall apart so that she can come in. That's her desire and it seemed it's happening sooner than she actually expected. "Not what you think, Miss Genesis.
She sighed, it appears she needs to take a glass of water to calm herself. She doesn't mean any harm, just trying to act like a proper girlfriend. Unbuttoning his shirt doesn't mean she wants him to do anything with her. Not that if he decides to , she's not horny enough to have him. But it's completely not her reason for helping out. She stood up and went to pour herself a glass of water. Jace glanced at her from his split vision. He was hard on her. His words were harsh. He shouldn't have said that. She's his girlfriend after all. She could do that without being restricted. He intended to talk to her about Eli's request but it seemed he had ruined the opportunity to say it. He went to the inner closet to put his clothes off. Arianna glared at his retreating back view. What kind of man is Jace? He doesn't like her, at all? "Should I set the table for dinner?" Arianna asked. She had cultivated the habit of waiting for him to have dinner. But he came b
The coffee was now cold. He took the tray and went to the kitchen. He placed it in the sink and went to the sitting room, Arianna was not there. She is definitely sobbing somewhere. He went to the balcony, Eli's room and she's still not there. The second master bedroom, she isn't there. He decided to go to the guest room. After all, she stayed there for a few days before moving into his room. He got there and tried pushing the door open but it wasn't opening. He knocked but no response. "My love, I'm sorry for the harsh words. I shouldn't have been so hard on you. I'm sorry. Please forgive me" Jace pleaded from the other end. Arianna didn't respond. She wanted to tell him to go away from her. But she couldn't. Her tears ran down her cheeks again and she sniffled. "Please open the door. Let's talk" Jace pleaded again. No response. He remained on that side of the door, pleading and no response. He left and soon returned with the spare key. He sli
Jace Hudson just stared at the closed door. He turned around and went away. His legs were heavy as he went back to the bedroom. He just laid on the bed and caressed the part Arianna usually sleeps. He fucked up big time. How can he let Arianna leave his side? He needs to apologise to her again and more sincerely. He cannot afford to lose her. He loves her but doesn't know why he did what he did, especially not letting her touch him. That night, Jace didn't sleep early. He kept rolling from one side of the bed to the other. He called Arianna's cell phone number and it ranged by the bedside. There is no way he can reach or talk to her that night. He sighed, whatever happens, he knows she would definitely open the door the next morning. Next morning, Arianna woke up to pain in her neck. She had slept on the floor and placed her head on the edge of the sofa. Her neck was sprained. She has also caught a cold. What on earth made her sleep on the
"My daddy told me that he will talk to you about buying me a baby. Now you want to leave me and daddy. Why don't you want to stay with us anymore? Now, who will my daddy talk to? Is my daddy a bad guy?" Eli asked, glaring up at his mother's face. Arianna's complexion turned ashen. She shivered and tried forcing a smile but it wasn't working out. "No, honey. Your daddy isn't a bad guy. He is a good man. But we just have to stay away for a while. We'll get back together again, okay?" She explained. Eli became quiet and said nothing else. A typical attitude Jace. He folded his arms and looked away. Arianna was forced to remain quiet. When Eli arrived at his school he said to his mother "If you leave us, I will not eat anymore" he declared just as his chauffeur walked over and held the door and carried him gently out. Eli glared at his mother as soon as his feet touched the floor and "I'm not your friend anymore" and walked away. Everything went norm
Jace suspended what he was doing and was heading towards Chase's office. If he doesn't ask his brother the question bothering him, his blood will keep boiling. Chase has just settled into his seat and heard the door pushed open suddenly without as much as a knock on the door. He raised his head to look in the direction of the door and saw his brother's long legs by the door way, he was glaring at Chase with hostility. "Is there a problem,Jace?" Chase asked, confused at why his brother would just stand by the doorway and not come in, staring at him as if he had stolen his cherished asset. "CEO Jace Hudson. That's how you refer to me officially" Jace corrected, took a few strides in and stood with his hands in his pants pocket. Chase chuckled. CEO Jace Hudson? When did he start calling his brother by the official title? Whatever, he nodded. He definitely had come over to discuss something with him, only God knows what that thing might be. "You should w
"I'm sorry CEO Jace, I don't discuss personal matters during and around the official hour" Arianna snapped at him, glaring into his well chiselled jawline. Jace chuckled softly and said "I am the Boss here, Arianna. You will answer every question I ask you whether personal matters or official,my love" Arianna looked away. She needs to punish this man and make him know that he must learn to respect her, as his partner and the mother of his son. "I am asking you again, are you head bent on leaving me?" Jace repeated. Arianna already moved her things out of the Mansion. Looks like she meant business this time. "I am not leaving,Jace Hudson. I already left you. I need a breath of fresh air. I feel suffocated enough, being by your side" Arianna replied. Jace massaged his temple. She's already left indeed. She's right. He forced a grin and glared at his woman "Tell me, is there something else besides the incident of last night? My words to you at the st
