Jace's eyes immediately went dark. This cannot be. It shouldn't be what he is thinking. Arianna dare not abort his child. No, he doesn't want to think of the worst. Because, he cannot say exactly what his reaction would be if it ends up being what he thought. He must know what really happened that day. "Are you sure?" Jace demanded, his complexion going red. Was his suspicion becoming a reality? "Yes,100% certain" the doctor replied before adding "to be clinically proven, we can carry out some examination on her if you so wish" Jace was pleased. He needs a clinical ascertion. That's the only way he can be sure that his claim is real. Otherwise, Arianna might tag it a speculation. "Fine, I'll come over with her to be examined. But she mustn't know why she's being examined…" Jace instructed. After he hung up, Jace's eyes almost went teary. If Arianna did abort his child because of the so-called career, he would never forgive her for it. *********
Since Arianna was the CEO's fiancee, she can see the most senior physician in any department she visits. Hence, she went to the office of the senior genealogy. The doctor stood up and shook hands with Arianna. He said he was taking out a routine check on her. A woman should carry out such check up as often as possible in order to detect the presence of an early form of cervical cancer. Arianna shrugged. She doesn't understand why Jace would persuade her into coming over for a routine check up. She'd not done it before and yet, she'd always been fine. Whatever, she was told to lay on a couch and examined. She had an ultrasound done and next samples of her blood and urine were collected. The doctor kept making records and asking her a few questions. After some time, he said she could leave. When Arianna returned, she met Richard sitting next to Genesis. "I told you to stay with my girlfriend and you left her alone?" Richard asked, stretching the word "girlfriend".
Arianna was lost. Had to do with something else? Was Jace suspecting her or something? She glared at her brother, not knowing how to respond to his words. "Did Jace know about the miscarriage?" Richard asked and Arianna immediately replied "No, not in the slightest" She's certain, he doesn't know a thing. She told him she's in her period, and he believed her. Jace has no reason whatsoever to doubt her words. "Fine. You will go home and watch his actions. Perhaps it has nothing to do with what we're thinking. He might just be having you checked, that's all" Richard shrugged the whole idea off. Arianna nodded and told him goodnight. When she slid behind the steering, she drove towards the house. She missed Jace and Eli. Richard returned into the building and sat next to Genesis. For a while, they didn't say anything to each other. He desires to hold her, to cuddle her and tell her that he loves her and greatly desires to get back with her. He knows
He pulled her to himself, letting her rest her head on his chest. His chin on her hair, calming himself and he guessed Genesis would be doing the same too. He brought her to sit on his thighs and held her hand "I'm sorry for everything, Genesis. I treated you unfairly and said unpleasant words to you, I'm sorry. I didn't premeditated to cheat on you with Tessa. I swear I didn't. After I left your place that evening, I was sad so I went to the bar. I got drunk and struggled to get home. When Tessa arrived, I only saw you. I was hallucinating and remembered I said "glad you came" and everything else happened. I'm sorry Gene, really sorry. I won't let this shameless act ever repeat itself,I promise" Richard pleaded. Genesis just glared at him without a word. If she can let that intimate act of his and Tessa go, what about the aspect of his words of Humiliation? He said she forced a kiss on him. How can he say such words to her? That's humiliating and em
Chase was dazed. His heart was beating fast. For a few seconds, he couldn't respond to her question. He just kept his gaze on her, speechless. Arianna's eyes had gone teary. She saw the little girl and imagined how much she wished to have someone she could call her father. She likes Chase and decided to ask him to be her father. Jace just kept his gaze on the girl and next on his brother. What is he thinking at the moment? Will he accept her as his daughter or will he decline her request? Chase Hudson carefully squatted and held the little girl in his arms "What is your name?" He asked. He feels affectionate towards her at the moment. "My name is Bella," she said in a sweet feminine voice. Her tears ran down her cheeks and Chase hugged her immediately. "Yes, I will adopt you. You will become my daughter and I will be your father" Chase declared, lifting her off her feet and carrying her in his arms towards the administrative building. It was there that Chase
Arianna saw his eyes and stepped backwards in two steps. This face Jace was wearing was similar to the one he used to wear back then when she just met him. "You should have told me that I am not so important to you as the career you are pursuing" Jace blurted, he sniffled, his tears giving way. "What are you saying, Jace? Have I done anything wrong!" Arianna asked, still walking backwards and Jace kept following her. Jace sobbed? He really did. What had she done to make him go emotional like this? She bet she hadn't seen him like this before. When she took the bullet in his place back then, she heard that he sobbed. But she hadn't seen him shed tears. This is a sign of an unpleasant experience. "Until now, Arianna. You not only did something wrong, you committed murder. You killed your own child, an attitude that is alien to the beast and animals in the zoo. It wouldn't have affected me at all, I wouldn't have cared even if you had your uterus removed. But
That night, Jace didn't come home. He was broken and he sobbed. He went to a club and locked himself in. How can Arianna do this to him? First it was Clara and now, it's Arianna. He hadn't at any time loved his women less than he should have. Why is he suffering this kind of fate from women? It's not like he cannot be with numerous women at a time. He loves to be decent. He cannot have two women at a time, it's cheating and he doesn't like being filthy. But what does he get in return? Backstabbing and betrayals. He trusted Arianna to the depth of his soul. It turns out that she's no different from his dead fiance. Women are scum. Not men. He had been unfortunate to meet two women that are scum. Now, he would learn to treat women the way they should be treated. It took him years to recover from Clara's death and fall in love with Arianna. But now, he wouldn't do that anymore. He would deal with Arianna so much that she wouldn't forget his name in a hurry. He w
He just glared at Jace. Arianna had an abortion? Oh no…this should not be happening. He knows exactly how it was to lose an unborn baby, he also has been there before. And in this case, Jace's own was more complicated. He definitely wouldn't make love to her if he doesn't want her. And he knows how protective his brother was on his own things. He would have swirled Arianna around if he got to know that she was pregnant with his child. How can she do that to Jace, how can she do that to her fiance, someone who loves her so much. Chase sighed audibly. He was nothing to be compared to Jace in terms of decency, commitment to relationship and responsibilities. He had always known that he was a rascal back then when Rosalinda was pregnant. He even rejected the pregnancy and told her to have an abortion, a terrible attitude of his towards women. An action he regrets so much now. Yet when Rosalinda miscarried, he wished it never happened. He wished that she had the b
