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
The wedding preparations were in full swing, while some items were ordered online and had been delivered the previous day, Anabel still had some shopping to do with her mother and mother-in-law. The day was young when she woke up feeling very energetic. The driver had gone early to bring her mother. Claudia could not stop bragging about her daughter's soon-to-be marriage. She made sure to invite every relative she had ever known and knew nothing about. Richard had not spoken to Anabel for a week now, she was not taking his calls and the fast-spreading news only made him even more eager to get hold of her. He walks down the stairs lazily towards the kitchen, his mother is up with the servants going about with the day's meals. A ring caught their attention, it was too early for guests and no one would visit without sending a proper notice. His mother glances towards him, but he shrugs. He wasn't expecting a guest either. ‘’Madam, we have a letter from the Grey household”’ the butler
Mark took Lovert to the room closest to that of Arielle, while Anabel was just at the right corner. When the ladies were done sorting out everything, Mrs Alphia took out a back of jewelry she had bought earlier on for Arilele. ‘’Í know you will be wearing the family jewelry, but I still take it upon myself to get you something”’ Anabel couldn't hide her jealous eyes. The jewelry was made of pure gold accompanied by a diamond watch and gold bracelet with purple gems on it. ‘’Oh Mother, you shouldn't have, it's Annabel's wedding and she deserves all the shopping and gifts.’’ Arielle loved the present, she knew Mrs. Alphia too well and no wouldn't be an option. ‘’Yes sister, mother did think of you while shopping for me since she said she got it for you then you should accept it, I do not like it so I can't have it even if you gave’’ ‘’Of course, since it's Annabel's marriage, she can't have things bought for others’’ Claudia added. Yes, it was her daughter's wedding. ‘’Of course mo
Arielle got to the porche with Lovert. She was so happy to see him again. ‘’I've missed you, big sis, I did bring you some chocolates, the white ones. Brother-in-law mentioned ' 'you love it’’ Arielle took the gift from him excitedly. She was smiling ear to ear like a kid. ‘’Yeah I am not surprised, he knows me so well, better than all’’ Arielle stuffs her mouth with a good fill of chocolate. It felt rather too good. ‘’Yeah, I know just how much he loves you and it makes me at peace”’ Lovert leaned over, giving her a quick peg on the cheek. Arielle could not help the slight blush on her face. The feeling was new. Knowing someone loved her, he was family, her brother. ‘’If you go around giving kisses to arielle, the internet will be bursting through about her cheating on my brother’’ Daniel could not hide his excitement. He was the chatterbox of the house and as such he had to be let in on the secret before things got out of hand. ‘’It feels good to not be the youngest at home, no
Arielle was quick to get home while Anabel only returned a while later. It was a grand feast. Leonard Grey could not be more happy. He was not in charge. He could make decisions with his wife and everyone would have to stand by it. Arielle was dressed in a red dress with royal gold embroidery. Golden family heirlooms. She looked adding more to the liking of a goddess. The internet was going wild. Clair could not help but grace the occasion with her presence. It was invite only and Anabel had managed to secure one for her under such short notice. ‘Her furry burned as she approached arielle. The ceremony was over and it was time for dancing and chatting. While Leonard was more busy with the men, Mrs Alphia walked around introducing Arielle to the ladies. ‘’Hey there step-cousin, I have not heard from you since your last wedding?’ Arielle has never had anything to do with Claire. She was the daughter of Arnold but she was good at separating work from pleasure. The furry behind her ey
Anabel was pulled away from bed yet again by another wave of nausea. She hasn't slept well all through the night. She was prescribed a set of medications which seemed to be helping but she needed it to help even more. Today was her wedding, the makeup artist and others would be arriving in an hour and she could not raise suspicions. They did not work for her or her mother, they have been trained and are very loyal to the gGrey family. Nothing could buy them over. She washed her mouth, splashing some water. She looked rather too exhausted. The baby was taking a turn on her. She would need more foundation to hide the dark circles under her eyes. She glanced over at her vanity. The drugs caught her attention. She quickly engulfed some water and took some of it. She will have to take more today to prevent any mistakes. Anabel could not sleep, she steered and turned for another hour with no success. She glanced through her phone and there was a message from Edward, she quickly called hi
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
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
