Its been a couple of days with so much information and organisation with very little time to handle everything. Arielle had to move back home to spend as much time with her family, not like she wanted to but it was expected of a bride to stay closer wit her family and spend her last days before marriage with them. She had been staying out of the house and will only return home late in the night when everbody has gone to bed. She walks in expecting everyone to be asleep as usuall but the light of the living area was on and Mary called her from behind after opening the door. “‘Arielle, you father wants to have a chat with you and he has been up pass his bedtime waiting for you”’ Mary;s voice was polite and soft, she was not the type to hide her disgust of her and Ariele nodded it down. “‘Okay”’ she walked in to find Anable sitting with Sir Lucas and Cluaidia all watching a movie. She walks up to the and took a seat. She has been on her feets all day and it hurt to be in heels. She rea
Arielle turned to Anabel, she knew what they wanted but she was not ready to give them that of talk about that. She focused on her father, he is her father, and despite the rift between them she wants to have her father in good health and living well. “Dad, the wedding will be held in the courthouse of Mom, I know I was against it from the very start but I love the idea. I know it has been a very long time since we spoke like this and in calm voices about her and it will make me feel even closer to her on my special.”’ tears could be seen in her eyes as she spoke, the room went down with a sudden silence before Claudia broke it. “‘Arielle I have not been the best mother to you and I am sorry about that. You know you will be marrying into a wealthy family and that is not the case with your sister. She is the daughter of a mistress and everyone looks down on her, if you dont pity her she will be treated badly in the Richards mansion and I am scared she will be subjected to the positio
The Cowell residence shined in all its glory, influential men and women from far and new walked in with expensive gifts for the couple. Clair, Raquel, and other stars walked and spotted Claudia attending to the guest. She quickly walked up to her and asked after Anabel. “Hello Auntie my friends and I are here, please where is Anable so we can go get dressed and prepare for her big day”’ Cuadia smiled at her and directed them to the room of Anabel. As they walked through the huge hallway leading to the room of Anabel, Clair could not help but ick into that of Arielle, she was up and was getting ready, she had made MarkLogan in the past and knew just how close he was to Arielle. She had ones who had a huge crush on him but he won't just look his way. “Oh, my cousin you are getting married too. You know I have been so busy with signing with a new company and the airing of my latest movie is around the corner. All I can say is I am a busy bee and it is very difficult to catch me around
“‘Mr Lambad, as long as our Arielle wants everything then we have no objecion. Marrying her into or Grey family is a privilege I must say and I will make sure it remains this way. Everything that is hers will remain hers, and none of her properties will be converted by the Grey family unless she requests for it. I am very happy, she is well respected, and aside from that I am happy my son is privileged to marry her, she is not only a woman of great virtue but an outstanding beauty as well”’ Mr. Lambad smiled back at Mrs Allphia, the Greys leaving the Richards family behind. Mrs. Richard was not pleased, everything that was happening was not what she expected. She knew Arielle had lost the reason why her son opted to marry the second miss of the Cowell family, now eerythng seemed to be falling apart. Anabel had nothing from the company, the 2% shares were next to nothing. The deal they had with the Cowell family was marrying their daughter and having her handover to the company when
Everyone was surprised, Claudia turned and hugged her daughter even more. Mr Lucas was furious, he could not believe Arielle had gone ahead with signing her marriage certificate without informing him. “‘Am I still your father young lady? Why would you do such a thing? You get married to a man and now you want your sister to marry the same man? How despicable are you, why can't you treat her with love as she has shown you all these years?”’ Sir Lucas was furious, this was supposed to be a happy day but as always it had turned to chaos as always. ‘’’ Let's all calm down and sort out things. The Cowell family has two daughters and since one is married already, it is not too late to have Edward Richard have his bride as originally planned”’ Mr. Lambad announced, but he could still hear whispering, coming from the crowd. They were not satisfied, especially the Richards family. Mrs Richard walked over and pulled her son over. She was not ready to have him marry a woman who had just been p
The wedding crew was quick to leave while the Cowell family needed to have a chat with ARielle before she was taken away. The Greys had to wait. Ariele walked in with her father, Mary, and other maids who had already taken care of her clothes, they packed everything into the car. ‘Arielle took a seat, she could never have thought wearing the same dress as Anabel would result in so much chaos at the end of the day. “So you have finally grown so much that you now see me as nothing, is it the money, is it the fact your grandfather gave you everything and now you feel everyone has to listen to you and do just what you want? I am your father ARielle and I should be the first to know you are signing some marriage certificate, did you even think about the reputation of our family, or just about yourself? Now see where we are today, Anabel is not married, she is to leave with a man who doesnt love her and she is a divorcee in waiting. Tell me are you proud of yourself, are you proud of what
Anabel went into the bathroom, she could not stop brushing her body real hard. She could not believe everything her mother planned had to backfire the way it did. She was more than sure Edward was ready to get her and be with her at all times but it seemed she was wrong from the very start. How could he just leave her without a warning? He could not stand by her side, she could not believe he listened to his mother. “Now I will make sure not only her life but everything that she has worked so hard for will be mine.’’ Anabel looked up quickly and wore a seductive strapless red dress with shiny black heels. She wanted to show her best. She could not believe Leonard Grey was not a man who couldn't be tempted. She walked out of her room and the maid from earlier directed her to the buffet area. It was not crowded as it was just a family gathering. Arielle sat close to Leonard Grey as they spoke very closely and lovingly to each other. Anabel could not handle it, she walked over to the b
Arielle was shy and ran into the shower as soon as she could to hide her face, she let the water fall on her bare body draining away the tiredness from the previous day but not the excitement. She could still see flashes of Leonard Grey in the bathroom, despite the fact that he was gone for a long time. She stayed under the water for a good amount of time letting just watch everything out slowly. When she was done she went out to find a dress that was already laid out for her, it wasn't her usual style of jeans and T-shirt. But a flower white dress, of knee length, accompanied by black heels and a black handbag, of medium size. When she was done, Leonard Grey walked in, he was quick to take the dryer and blow out her hair. He has always wanted to see her in full hair do and was more than happy she let him try out everything. When he was done, she looked like a diva, charming and prestigious. Now she was no doubt the wife of Leonard Grey, she had to leave earlier than him. The couple
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
