"My Mom is…" Arianna was saying when Richard arrived. "Sorry buddies," he said and kissed Genesis' chin. A kiss of apology. "Chase Hudson" Senator Adrian Delmark welcomed him. Chase drew closer and congratulated the Senator and his wife. He planted a featherlight kiss on Arianna's and Gene's temple before saying hello to the men. The dinner was sumptuous. On the way home, Arianna was chiming excitedly. She's glad she finally got to meet the Senator. He was exactly as Genesis described him and much more friendly. She would visit him more often if Jace would accompany her. She touched Jace's hand and the latter glanced at her and smiled. "Senator Adrian Delmark asked if we've met before? I feel the same way too but I cannot tell where I knew him" Arianna explained. "Maybe it's on social media. You had no idea how popular you became when you saved my life that day. He might have seen your pictures and felt he's known you before" Jace Hudson replied ca
Richard sat down and glanced at his Mom. What is wrong, he knows his dad and he can tell when he is not his usual vibrant self. He hadn't been acting normal after the party the previous day. "Is there something I don't know?" Richard asked. He waited a bit because his Mom wasn't saying anything. Eventually his dad descended the stairs. "Get me medicine, Richard. I am not feeling well" Jane said. Adrian walked over and asked "what is wrong with you,my love?" "I feel my heart is palpitating, '' Jane said. Adrian Delmark sighed softly "we will cross this phase together, we will be alright" he assured her. "I will get you your medicine. But can someone tell me what's going on here?" Richard asked. "Something that you also need to know, dearest nephew" Derick declared. He came over and said "Tell him, Richard is an adult and can take it" "That means everyone knows what is going on except me" Richard declared. Adrian said he should come over to the sitting
When they got back into the room, Arianna asked a favour. "Would you have your men find out who my mother ever dated or perhaps find out the Adrian Delmark my mom wrote about. Maybe that person might know or give a clue that would help me find my father. Please do this favour for me" Arianna pleaded. "Consider it done," Jace declared. There is nothing to investigate my love. Jace said within himself. But to please her, he would have them find out some other Adrian Delmark in Z-City. Even if he already knows the Adrian Delmark her mom wrote about. Ethan Rumero just sat down, listening to Daisy's sermon: "I know you have been having affairs with Arianna. She's the reason why you suddenly became a stranger to me. We were happy Ethan. Even if we have failed in our attempt to have kids. We would eventually have, I believe we would. But before the kids would come, we can't remain like this? You can't turn out to be a stranger to me. I am your wife, Etha
Emily glanced at her husband, her heart almost skipped. She knows things she'd never known? Who told her, how did she know what she and Ned have tried all these years to keep away from her. "I have come to take over everything that rightly belonged to me. The house,the cars, the savings and the whole jewellery owned by my mother. Hand them over now, Ned Jason" Arianna declared and stood up again. She looked around the house as if she'd left the house before. Her childhood memories are all buried in that house. The vague memory of her mother that she has, was in that house. There isn't a part of that house that she doesn't know. She left many years ago, because Emily would have killed her, if she didn't. She made her life a hell and Ned Jason never seemed to see it. He couldn't see it , indeed. Now,she understands why he was blind to his wife's torturing her. There are a few things she understands now that she didn't seem to understand a few years ago. "What
Emily's eyes shone for joy. "Wait, the man is CEO Jace Hudson, right?" She asked, eager to hear a yes from Ned. Ned Jason nodded. Emily suddenly bursted into an exaggerated laughter. She laughed and tried to sound funny but Ned just stared at her. "I knew it. I knew she was up to something when she tried saving CEO Jace Hudson that day. When did the rat learn to protect and save the wild cat? Isn't that preposterous? What was she thinking, that CEO Jace Hudson would see her as his saviour and hovered around her, asking her to be his girlfriend or something? She thinks too much. She would have just died for nothing. The best Jace Hudson would have done was to ask one of his numerous bodyguards to take a flower to her grave once every year. And he must have taken pity on her to have even thought of sending flowers. Oh gosh! It wouldn't have mattered though, even if she dies. She has no mother to mourn her, her father must have definitely been some lowlife
The deep masculine voice echoed in the entire complex. The atmosphere became condensed and chilly. No one could say anything and there was a quietness that no one had experienced before in the Hudson's holding. Without being told, everyone tiptoed back to their seats and offices and bent their heads on their desk and computer. Afraid that the CEO would fire them. Lily Ambrose wanted to leave as well but CEO Jace Hudson declared "Not a step further" Lily Ambrose froze, why does it have to be the moment she raised her hand to smack Arianna that he appeared? Only Arianna, Daisy and Lily remained standing. CEO Jace Hudson glared at the women one after the other with a cold stare,his hands in his pants pocket. "What the hell is going on here, why is it causing a fuss in my company?" Jace Hudson inquired. None of the women talk until Lily Ambrose said "Arianna Jason is a mistress to this woman's husband. She came to plead with her to stay away from her husband, espe
For the rest of the day, none said a word to the other. But they wondered why Arianna was not charged with a punishment like the rest of them. If she hadn't slept with the woman's husband, she probably wouldn't have come to cause a fuss. But now, the CEO let her go unscratched. They saw how the woman went on her knees to plead with the CEO to change the punishment or lighten it, but he simply strode away as if he didn't know someone was on her knees pleading with him. When the closing time approached, Arianna sent a text "I'm having dinner with the Senator's family". Thank goodness, she told Jace where she was heading otherwise he would have wondered if Daisy and Lily were saying the same thing about having gone to be with Ethan during the lunch time. "Go home, change and I'll go with you" Jace texted back. He knew a lot of people would want to spy on Arianna when she leaves the office. Rosalinda's health seemed to depreciate. She went to the hospital and
The chauffeur parked the car and Jace Hudson alighted. He came over and helped Arianna out. He wasn't with the bodyguards but drove in the bullet proof car. He pulled her to his side and whispered "Always wear your hair this way for me, whenever we are alone" he kissed her temple. "You like it this way?" Arianna asked, turning briefly to glance at Jace. Her hair swirls and Jace lets out a soft giggle. He loves it. "I love it," he chimed. They arrived at the door, the security guards bowed slightly before them and the Steward held the door for them to get in. But they met Richard just at the door. He looked tense and his gaze fixed on Arianna. For some seconds, he didn't say anything, just stared at Arianna. "Hey Richard, why do you stare at me as if you've seen a ghost" Arianna teased, going over to him in tiptoes and cupping his face in her arms. "I wish it's a ghost, Arianna. I would have known that it can never be real. Please we need to talk
