Sir Lucas looks at his daughter with a painful look
“haven't I been treating you well enough? Why are you so bent on destroying the image I have spent so many years building? What will I tell people, my daughter, who is set to be married and already betrothed with another man in a hotel with another man and on his bed huh? Areille why are you dragging my name to the mold”
Arielle hooked her lips, disappointed. Shouldn't he be happy? He had already hooked up with Anabel, and he probably didn't want to be with her for a long time.
"You still have a smile on your face." Sir Lucas scolded Arielle aggressively. After scolding his daughter, Sir Lucas quickly apologizes to the Richards family.
"Mrs.
Sir Lucas was so angry that he turned his head to grandfather lambad and said,"Dad, you can't be so used to Arielle, look at what she has become now. You can still laugh when you do such a shameless thing. See what all your pampering has done to her, now she thinks she can do anything and no one will scold her for it. But this slut won't be under my watch, she will have to be punished and I will see personally to that ""Dad, where did these photos come from?"Arielle asked suddenly."Where did you come from? Do you still have the face to ask where did they come from? Of course, when you were doing these things, you were photographed by someone with a heart, and they sent it to Richard's house, you should be ashamed of what you hav
They all walked to the car, Edward slowed his step for he knew Arielle will always wish him well and always reminded him multiple times to take care of himself. This was one of the feelings she offered which rather made him so sure she was so into him. She always looks so reluctant to let him leave.At times he sure can tell there were tears in her eyes when she gives him goodbye. Before Edward got into the car, he paused in his footsteps. He was waiting for her to talk to him and do her usual routine.He did not care so much about it, but it sure made him feel how vulnerable she was in his hands. Today he waited for Arielle's advice, but she didn't say a word for a long time, just stood not far away, staring at him getting into the car, without even the slightest smile on her face. Inexplicably, he actually felt a
The butler was baffled for Arielle had been chasing the car for quite some time so he decided to tell Leonard about it.“Sir, do you by any chance know the lady chasing the car? She has been following us for quite some time now” Leonard was still looking at the documents in his hands. He had some work and barely had time to spare. He takes a quick look back and sees Arielle limbing, her kneel is covered in blood while she walks towards them.“Stop the car,” Leonard said softly with a steady voice. Butler Fred was surprised because he has never seen his employer be so interested in a lady.If not that he has been with him for most of the years of his life, he would probably believe the rumors going around that he is gay. But Fred was
She got into the car, a bit disappointed they hadn't left. She was not ready to be seen with him even if it was a matter of chance. Sitting in the car, Arielle discussed with Leonard again, "Okay, if you don't want to go abroad, you can make a price. How much does it cost to seal your mouth? I am willing and ready to pay you any amount, but you will have to leave my life and even if we do meet in the future, you will pretend to not know me and act like we are meeting for the very first time" "What?" Leonard looked at her puzzled. Arielle felt that he was pretending to be stupid, and gritted his teeth and said, "What happened that night." Leonard tapped his forehead with his finger and asked, "Which day?" Arielle felt that he did it on purpose, and gritted her teeth, "You..."Leonard said, "I don't have a good memory. I can't remember things that others don't remind me of, and I'm not very talkative either. So if Miss Cowell wants us to talk business, she will have to be very
The next day, Arielle came back from outside. Instead of going back to her room, she went to the next door to see her mother's belongings. Since she planned to take over everything from her mother, she had to understand a lot of things. Mom's things have been kept in the room next to hers, which is second only to her bedroom and the largest of the remaining empty rooms. As a result, as soon as she pushed open the door of the room, she froze in place. This room is not what it used to be, it has changed a lot, it has become a pink princess room, and all the relics of my mother are gone. Anabel's delicate voice came from behind, "Dad said that I'm already part of the Cowell family and as such, I can take this room, so this is my bedroom from now henceforth." Anabel was very proud.
"Sister, I don't know what you have misunderstood about me and my mother. Didn't we get along very well before? Why did it suddenly become like this? I remember when my mother and I first came here, things were not like this and you treated her like family.I know you also want your father to be happy, I mean he has been single for so long that he deserves to have a partner and not grow old in loneliness. I really want us to go back to the way we use to. You can share things and hug me as a sister" Anabel has always been entangled in this matter.Anabel could not help but think within her what was the course of her sudden change of altitude. It all happened the day she drugged her but she did make sure to leave as soon as she could so there is no way Arielle could have found out she was the one who drugged her.
The next day was Anabel's family recognition banquet. Early in the morning, Mary brought in the person from the service company that she had invited outside, and kept chattering.Arielle slept late last night, and now she was dozed off to death, wrapped in the quilt, and slept until she passed out.Outside the door, Sir Lucas asked Mary, "Where's Arielle?Mary sighed and said, "Miss Arielle hasn't woken up yet." Her words carried an aura that wasn't pleasing. In the past, she would protect Arielle but hadn't known she would be left with very little or nothing, she chose to be on the lookout for Anabel."Then tell her to get up quickly, what time is it, don't you know what day it is today? After a while,
Sir Lucas walked up to the stage where everyone could see him. He had the smile of a proud father while others took him for a man with power. He held the microphone and said,"Everyone, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend my daughter's family recognition banquet. She is my daughter. Although she didn't grow up by my side, her education has never fallen behind. She has studied very well since she was a child, and she has always been in the top ten in every exam. She is my pride and my apple..."Holding the microphone, he complimented Anabel with a doting smile on his face.Arielle was sitting in her room and could hear the sound from downstairs. She paused for a moment while doing her makeup. What about her?
EPILOGUE. It's been months since the death of Sir Lucas, while everything he had was sold and dropped into the bank of Anabel, Arielle made sure to tell Claudia her last wish was fulfilled. It's been exactly 3 months and things have been going smoothly. Lovert was doing much better and had long moved in with Arielle. The company Daniel did him so much good, they were best buddies. Arielle runs into the bathroom for the 4th time this morning throwing up yet again. Leonard patted her on the back to ease her pain. She had been like this for a couple of days and despite her pleas not to take her to the hospital, Leonard was done with her stubbornness. He handed her a glass of water. Within 5 days he had lost so much weight and looked too fragile. Arielle did not want to go in order not to make Lovert worry. He was so protective of her reason why she avoided him and only met during dinner. ‘’Gai, please help arielle get ready, while I get the car’’ Leonard walks out before she can prot
“‘Mr. Lovert Greek Garn, Cowell, you are here under arrest for the murder of Lucas Cowell, we advise you to remain silent for anything you say or do would be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney and if you can't afford one, one would be appointed for you’’ Arielle watched as the dirty cop placed Lovert under arrest. He did not resist arrest, he was in so much shock. He had been in his sister's embrace and was pulled away by the cop. ‘’Little girl, I would advise you to get him a good lawyer, because even with it, I doubt he would be able to see the light of day. Just when they were about to drag out of the building, Leonard noticed the commotion and ran right through the crowd. The press had not gained access. While paparazzi were fun to sneak in, they all knew better than to interfere. It was the Cowell family, but it directly involved the Grey household. Guards of the Grey family were stationed all over the property. While the doctors and all othe
Peace was gradually returning to their lives. Lovert has been staying in the Cowell mansion ever since the death of Grandpa Lambad. He felt living there would bring him close to his mother and also the grandfather he did not get the chance to meet. Due to the recent outbreak of cold fever, He has been extremely busy and the paparazzi did not make things easy for him. He spoke to his big sister every day despite how busy his schedule became. He was more than proud of her, she was declared the 2nd wealthiest after Leonard Grey. indeed they deserved each other, a queen and a king. Lovert got home late, his shift had extended more than he had hoped. He so much wished he could stop by and enjoy dinner with Areille but by the time he was done with work, it was way past midnight. He was too tired to drive, so he called for a cap. The drive home was rather long. He had fallen asleep, the cab driver was the one to wake him up. Lovert was barely awake as he walked his way to Arielle’s room.
The company was doing even better. Arielle walked in as everyone greeted her, she was now the CEO. while Arnold could not help but sneer, it did not border her. With the scandal Anabel had brought yet again, shares were auctioned and thanks to her wonderful husband, all of it was acquired. Now she was the sole owner, just like the Grey empire. Lovert did not want to get involved in the business. The board meeting was set and ready to begin. “We have gone through so much change within a short period and I must congratulate everyone for their hard work and patience. We have been on our feet to do what's best for the company and so far we are winning. Today, I would like to announce the new general manager, Mrs. Kendra Colson’’ Kendra stood up and greeted everyone. So many had not taken notice of her presence before the presentation, while those who did shrug it off as a partner. Arnold was fuming, he knew this day would come now that everything was out in the open. ‘’What about the
The Cowell family was in another dimension of problems. After the press release, Claudia has not been able to get her husband to believe she was innocent. She had to disown her child to prove to him how sincere she was. Grandfather Lambad stayed up all night with Mr Greekgarn. The Greek Garn family would still have Lovert as their heir and his name would not be changed but only the Cowell name could be added. It was a great change since they had nothing against them, the Cowel family accepted. It was their son, he was their blood, however, he was not theirs to keep, they were the ones who had thrown him away from the beginning. Mr Lambad could not sleep, the noise coming from the front made it impossible. Grace helped him out of his quarters to the front, Lucas sat on the couch while his tramp for a wife was on her knees begging for god knows what. ‘’Why can't the both of you keep it down? You can't handle keeping peace at home how do you expect to raise a decent daughter?’’ Mr Lam
The Grey home was in a mess, while some staff got fired due to their involvement, others learned a good lesson. The Matter of the boss was not something to interfere with. Gai made the bed for Arielle, she had very little to eat and has not rested ever since Anabel walked out. Lovert was by her side. He was not willing to leave his sister all alone yet again for the second time. Leonard had some house conflicts to settle. In years, it was the very first time the Grey household was meeting, from uncles to cousins and nieces. Leonard was more than pleased to accommodate them while Uncle Mathew had returned purposely for the gathering. Everyone was seated, and they all looked up to one man, Leonard was now the head of the family, despite his age difference, he was now the leader by birth and right. “Today's event was very unexpected and we are concerned about the outcome of events. To say the very least the matron of the family position has only been held for a couple of days and now w
Arielle took all she had, walking down the highway, nothing made sense at this point. Her design for a competition she has been waiting for, for the longest time, just received an email telling her she has been disqualified. Her draft and that of Arielle’s was found and without a second thought, she knew it was coming. She had freely handed over her shares to Arielle, now her account was empty. She had nothing. Claire won't take her calls neither did the father of her baby. A waves a cap down, she could only head to the vacation house, Edward had gotten for the both of them. There were no guards, the building had been private from the very start. Anabel unlocked the door walking in on Edward. She never would have thought of seeing him here at such a time. Did she come here because he missed her, her heart warming up at the thought of him being there for her? To live in their memories. ‘’You shouldn't have come, why did you do this to me, Anabel, how hard have you been trying?’’ Ana
Everyone stared at the photos, it was intimate but not as Anabel had emphasized. ‘’Oh come on, now that's the best lie I have gotten so far, brother? We both know Arielle has no siblings besides me. She had no other biological sibling and I am the only one closer to that gap so how do you explain it? My mother had no son for our father”’ Anabel laughed like a maniac, all hope was lost, she had nothing left. Her mother has been trying over hours to reason with her father on the terms of her returning home with them, but he has been adamant about his decision not to want her. If she was to go down, then she might as well go down with everyone. She was not the only one at fault and it was time to make everyone see that. ‘’Sir Lucas, your wife bore a son before her death, the baby was said to be dead, and you never saw its body. How sure are you that the child died at birth?” Leonard turned to Sir Lucas who was now staring at Arielle strangely. He knew just how much she hated him for t
Arielle had no idea of where Leonard was taking her, while Lovert, Daniel, and Mark drove in the opposite direction of the city, they were riding towards the hotel they had met the very first day. Arielle could not hide the smile on her face. She had not been around this part of the city ever since their night together. After pulling into the driveway, he opened the door for her. ‘’Wanna come inside”’ he extends his hands to help her. They walked inside and the front desk clerk recognized them. She had met a good number of one-night stands, but Arielle stood out, she looked so unprepared on her day, she was covered in love bites and they had to bring her new clothes as hers was in no shape to be worn for another time.Arielle had not taken notice of the room number, but she did remember her way back and they were heading the same way. Just like the very time they had met Arielle walked into the room acting all drunk and woozy. Leonard quickly picked up on the act and in no time the
