This meant everything to Arielle. She did not understand when the tears came but it flooded blocking her view. She had been searching for a long time and finally, she had some closure. ‘’How long have you had it and what is it?" Leonard stared at her. ‘’I have had it from the very start, I could bring it to you because it would mean I knew everything about you’’ Arielle understood where he was coming from. They had just met and at such a time she was more focused on destroying Anabel and Edward. She would have taken him to be another enemy. ‘’So you're not mad, I kept so much away from you? I am very wealthy but just like I have kept my reputation a secret I think it is time to go out into the world. Mark is tired and needs a break, he can continue behind the scenes’’ Leonard, with every secret he discovers about her, only fuels the need to know more. He had stumbled on the evidence taken 20 years. She had not been very careful and a video of her survive with everything she did. ‘
‘’My father has never wanted my mother to be the method of the family, because of the hate you have for her, however, he clearly stated my wife would have that honor since Arielle is willing to sacrifice and share her home with her sister, I think it is only wise a feast is organized and the keys of the mansion should be handed over to her’’ Leonard weighed every word. It was his bargaining chip, and he would not bulge if it was not accepted. Arielle turned to him, she had not known of such plans, but now it made even more sense. ‘’Well, she can have it after the wedding,” Grandmother declared. But Leonard was far from happy. ‘’No, if she can't have it in 3 days, then the wedding is as good as over. I have promised my mother, and there is no way I would go against that, you know me better. But grandmother, I have learned from you far too well to know this would be as good as forgotten once the marriage is done and over”’ Leonard cleaned his mouth as he was done with his meal. He sto
Arielle's joy knew no bounds, deep down she had been worried for Kendra, she had raised the company of Robert Daiz to great levels and ended up with her step-sister. ‘’If I remember, correctly, the last time you were willing to put with everything, so what changed?’’ Kendra's smile faded. ‘’Well, I had taken your words seriously and needed to find proof for the divorce. I found out I was pregnant and told her about it. He wanted us to walk things over for the sake of the baby. I did accept, but the last time we had to meet you bailed on me, let me return home earlier and I found them talking. They were to push me down the stairs or give me abortion pills without my knowledge”’ Arielle had to put her hand over her mouth to muffle her screams. She was very versed with step-sister drama and their entitlement, but resulting in killing the baby which may kill the mother was something only the worst of all can be capable of. ‘“‘So wanting a baby has been the sole reason you kept quiet a
The day wasn't young Arielle and Mark Logan had a great time with the boys. They were now in better shape and their leader was just amazing. He had outdone himself. Arielle could see Lawrence was out of it, he did not look his usual calm and focused, he could not get his eyes to leave his phone, and was often distracted. ‘’Lawrence can I have a word with you?’’ ariele asked. He had been in a world of his own that her words startled him. He nods with a smile leading her to the pool. No one was there and it was further away from all the noise. The building had been extended and they now did not have a pool but every member had a room assigned to them. The yard was relatively large making outdoor workouts less stressful and engaging. ‘’What has been eating you up, I couldn't help but notice you haven't been yourself”’ Arielle placed a hand on his, he was not a friend, but he was something more. Someone she knew she could count on and rely on in desperate times, their race which had o
Now it was more clear than any other time something was wrong with Clarisse, she had been a charming girl. It did not sit right with her to know she was bitter at her and how she tried to help them. ‘’Mrs Backery’’ Arielle calls out to her as she sets dinner. Mrs Backery was indeed surprised to see Ariel at such an hour. They had no party or even which could have prompted her visit. Yes, she was surprised but her looks soon changed to arrogance. ‘’Oh hello Ariele, you should have called before coming so we prepared for you”’ her eyes glanced at the meal on the table. It was a luxurious mini feast, but she was not there to eat. Despite losing Mrs Backery’s cooking, she knew just from the looks she was not welcome. ‘’Uncle isn't home?’’ she asked, trying to ease the tension which was fast rising. She felt as if she was suddenly walking on eggshells.“Arielle, we are very busy and we aren't like you that everything is given to us, we have to work harder at that to get what we want, so
This was not something wanted him to hear, she had no idea of what Clarisse had told him and would hate for the truth to be the reason behind their breakup. ‘’All these years, I have loved you, I gave all to be with you. For the first years of my racing career, I was a star, I am still a star but Clarisse from the very start why didn't you want me to shine? Why”’ his words cut through the silecne like a sharp blade. He had gone against his family to be with her, he turned down every possible alliance to stay by her side. Now it all turns out she has been looking out just for herself. ‘’Tell me she is lying, tell me she had a crush on the opposite team and crash to bring themselves closer”’ Now it was Arielle’s turn to be surprised. She had not known Clarise for a long time before the sudden crash and everyone was aware of Lawrence's slings since she did nothing to push him away, they all assumed the feelings were mutual. ‘’Lawrence, I was only looking out for you, I didn't mean to
Leonard Grey stepped out of the car, he had driven himself. It was night already but everyone was already talking and making preparations most especially for the wedding. Arielle walked up to him, tossing her car to Lawrence. ‘’Getting my car home is a big favor. Lawrence smiled, she was a unique friend, and having her back was worth the sacrifice. ‘’Make sure I become an uncle soon, he needs to learn how to race and kick men's asses like his mother,”’ Arielle chuckled, earning a glare from Leonard. The jealous look on his face just made it even better. They drove for a while towards the countryside, ever since she stopped her classes with President Munch she had not returned. The warehouse was doing fine and she had made sure Arnold's;s powers regulated just around her reach, he had better be preparing to leave for she was going to make him leave. With someone as capable as Kendra, there would be no need for his services. The drive was towards the Greek Garn mansion which was rath
Arielle held him in her embrace, this was too much for her to take in. He held him that night, he was so fragile and made very little noise and before help could get to them, he had gone cold in her arms. Now they were telling her this was the same baby. Her mind became even more clouded, the ground beneath her feet slipped giving way to darkness. Leonard Grey was quick to tell her before she fell in love with Lovert. He was a mess just like his sister. Now it all made sense why his grandfather had always insisted he get acquainted with her. He gave into her every demand and demanded the same from him, he felt she was loved and cherished, but he had been even more ungrateful towards her. She had been the one to help their mom give birth to him, she had been the one to wrap him up warmly before giving him goodbye kisses. Leonard carried her to the couch. Arielle was shaking, she passed out cold but her mind was very active, she could not help but mummer in her slumber. The doctor w
