When she hung up,she glanced at Jace. He shut down his laptop and placed it aside. He glanced at Arianna and said "do you feel so excited when you are with me like you were a few minutes ago?" "Yes,but in my heart" Arianna replied. Jace giggled and said "I don't want it in your heart, I want it in your expression and words" he said. They soon arrived at the boutique. Jace sat down and Arianna went to the dressing room. She would change into a dress and Jace would assess it. If he likes it, he will nod his head and the cloth will be placed in the selected bag. Soon she selected a dinner gown, fish styled backless dress that went down to her feet. Her hourglass figure was outlined, her boobs were obvious and the front part of the dress had a cleavage. When Arianna looked at herself in the mirror, she undoubtedly admired herself. She turned to glance at Jace and caught him staring at her affectionately. His eyes went from her feet upwards until it stopped at her
Flashes of camera were all over them. Some journalists were asking questions about Jace and Arianna's relationship but he didn't even spare them a glance,he treated them as air. As they approached the large garden where the party was being held, Richard and Genesis came out and welcomed them. The stewards bow slightly when Jace passes by them. "Good to have you here, CEO Jace Hudson" Richard paid courtesy. Jace nodded but didn't show any slight interest in shaking hands with him. "You're welcome,Miss Jason," Richard said and kissed Arianna's chin. Genesis hugged her friend but was surprised that Jace didn't leave Arianna's hand. Jace stood at a strategic place, many people started walking over and paying him courtesy. He would talk in one or two sentences and wouldn't say anything else. He sighted Chase Hudson, his brother, holding the hands of a woman. He sighed softly and looked away. Women are not a scarce commodity to Chase. "CEO Jace, can we leave t
"Are you nuts, Tessa?" Richard snapped at her and threw her hand off his body. He glared at Tessa, his happy cheerful face turned ghostly. "Hi dear" Tessa chimed. She glanced at Richard seductively and wanted to touch him but Richard held her hand firmly and looked around before letting her hand off violently. "I am not your dear. And what the hell are you doing here?" Richard asked, snorting in disgust. He turned briefly and glanced towards Genesis and saw her staring at him in fury. Before Tessa could answer Richard turned to glance at Jace "CEO Jace, have me excused" He said and walked Tessa out, holding her by her upper arm. Jace glared at them and looked away. Just then Senator Adrian Delmark and his wife walked over. "It's my honour to have you here, CEO Jace Hudson" he said, stretching his hand for a handshake. "My pleasure, Senator Delmark," Jace Hudson replied, taking his hand. The two men smiled broadly at each other. The younger and the older man see
"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
