She meets up with Ethan. He doesn't know what to believe. He had told her to remain indoors and yet, she sneaked out and met him in her former apartment? What can they possibly be doing for over an hour behind closed doors. He hopes history won't repeat itself again? Clara was unfaithful and he trusted her so much that he refused to see that her lover was always around him. But Arianna, she's not just his girlfriend, she's Eli's Mom. He has grown to love her. He hopes she won't cheat on him and make him look like a fool for the second time. "Arianna will be resuming back to the Hudson's holding tomorrow. Make proper arrangements for her return" Jace announced. Chase smiled. He gave Jace a thumbs up. "I was going to ask you to persuade her to return. There are a lot of clients on our neck for designs and none of our men were able to please them. Our artists also were having a tough time, creating a perfect piece for the contest coming up. And these areas are Ari
Jace's eyes became dark. He glared at Arianna with a frosty stare. He was trying his best not to flare up and call her a lying bastard. "It appears you are very happy today?" Jace asked and Arianna in her simplicity answered "Yes, very happy. You know I haven't felt like this in a while. I feel pleased and satisfied" she chimed. Jace was taking his glass of coffee to his lips when he asked. But hearing Arianna's answer, his hand was suspended in the air. Pleased and satisfied? She felt pleased and satisfied and she's really happy. She sounded so and even lied to him in her excitement. When a woman is happy and elated,she doesn't know when she spills secrets but Arianna didn't make that mistake of saying she left the Mansion and met her ex boyfriend, Ethan. Did they have an affair? Did he fuck her when they were alone together and the door shut on them? Is that the reason she changed her mind after arriving at the company with him, and said she was returnin
Arianna was sobbing. Jace wouldn't let her go. But for him to let her go, it means he couldn't take it anymore. He doesn't want to end up broken like he was when he discovered what Clara did to him. She sat down and sobbed. After some time,she decided to go to him, to explain that she was sorry for lying to him. When he pushed the door open, she saw Jace getting a gauze from the first aid box and assembling the things he needed to clean his wounded palm. She went closer and circled her hands around his waist. She placed her head on his chest and sobbed. She had made him feel hurt and she is sorry that she did. "Would you please leave me alone. I need to bind my bleeding palm" he said, moving away from her and going to sit down holding the first aid box with his other hand. "I will help you with it,"Arianna offered. "I don't need your help. Just stay away from me" He snapped at her. "I'm the reason why you got hurt. Let me help you. And staying away from
Jace Hudson glared at her. Still not convinced with her explanation. A part of him tells him to believe her and another part of him tells him to not. Ethan was being tongue lashed by Daisy when he got home. He just doesn't know why she doubted him so much. How can she think that he would cheat? "How can you return to your ex, Ethan? Why are you doing this to me? I have loved only you Ethan. How can you do that to me?" Daisy asked. "You know Arianna is not someone like that. So how can you conceive that foolish idea that I cheated on you with her?" Ethan defended. "Then tell me, what is a grown man like you doing with Arianna in her apartment at the time you were supposed to be at lunch with me? You're both grown up and above that, you were once in love with each other. She's your ex Ethan. It only means you both have ganged up on me to betray me" Daisy quarrelled. "Are you talking from experience?" Ethan snapped at her and stood up. She now sees Arianna a
No, she wasn't. She was always dressed in cheap dresses. She looked poor and unkept. But the woman before him now looks impeccable and sweet. "This is your car key," Jace offered her. Since they have to act officially in the office, she has to come to the office on her own and return as well. Arianna placed a hand on her chest. A car key? She collected it and hugged Jace "Thank you darling. I love you" she chimed, kissing his chin. She quickly cleaned the lipstick that touched his chin. Jace smiled and said "you're welcome my love. I will leave earlier than you. So meet me in the office" he said. They came downstairs and Jace took a few pieces of pizza and a glass of beverages. He stood up and kissed Arianna's temple. He left. When Arianna stepped out, twenty minutes later, she was dazed when she saw that the car Jace bought for her was a Lamborghini. This car was too expensive for her. She walked around it and was all smiles. Jace bought her a brand new
Arianna nodded and followed behind. Sarah knocked and the thick masculine voice answered. They stepped in. It was the same as the last time she stepped in. Jace was head bent, writing on a file. A glass of coffee was in front of him and the two women just stood, waiting for him to raise his head. Arianna admired him. It's nice waking up to see his cute handsome face every morning. This is the man who held her in his arms until she slept off the previous evening. He placed his pen down and raised his head to glance at the two women before him. "Yes," he said, glancing from one to the other. His face was expressionless and it doesn't seem as if he's met Arianna before. "Our new Chief designer sir. She'll introduce herself" Sara said and bowed slightly. She glanced at Arianna and the latter nodded. "Good morning sir. I am Arianna Jason, the new designer for the company,"Arianna said and bowed slightly. "I think you should say a returnee employee. Anyway
Chase glared at Arianna. This woman is intelligent. None of the previous designers ever asked about the theme. No wonder they were designing nonsense and rubbish. Stanley and Lily Ambrose exchange glances again. They look inferior to Arianna immediately she asked that question. "You are to make a design. What are you trying to prove by asking for the theme of the contest? Look Miss Jason, don't try to make a show here of anything. We are in this field before you and you should learn to be quiet whenever we are around" Lily snapped at her. "Excuse me Lily Ambrose. What are you saying? I may be new here but I am a chief and a senior designer in my previous work place and I know my job well. How can you go into a contest with other competent designers when you don't even know what the theme of the contest is? There are different designs for different purposes and for different occasions. So, what am I designing and for what purpose? What should I present to t
Jane shivered when she heard the noise of glass shattering. She walked over quickly and saw her husband's ashen face. He was dazed, just staring at Derick. "You still haven't known? She kept her away from you all these years?" Derick demanded. He saw the shock and puzzle on his brother's face and knew that Susan did exactly what she said. Adrian Delmark just remained mute, staring at his brother helplessly. How come? How is it that Susan conceived and didn't tell him, how can she keep his daughter a secret from him? "Are you kidding me or are you being serious with what you just said?" Adrian asked. He turned and glared at his wife. Jane was trying to understand the whole scenario. "Adrian, are you alright?" Jane asked. She walked over and placed her hand on Adrian's shoulder. She is not strong enough to stand without support. "How can he be,Jane? No man would be, after discovering he has a daughter that's over 25 years old" Derick declared. Jane felt
