"Hmm." Suddenly Leonard Grey from the driver's seat let out a faint groan, the car swayed abruptly and stopped on the side of the road. Arielle was surprised and turned to look at him, only to see that he was holding the steering wheel with one hand and covering his stomach with the other, frowning tightly. "Your stomach hurts?" Arielle asked."Yeah." Leonard Grey nodded. "I'll take you to the hospital.""No, just take me home, there is medication at home." There was a bit of tolerance in his voice."You seem to be in pain, can you take medicine?" Arielle was a little worried. "Old trouble," he replied."Okay, then I'll drive." Arielle opened the car door and switched places with Leonard Grey. After she fastened her seat belt, she asked, "Does your family live in... at the apartment, I picked you up from last time?""Yeah." Leonard Grey thought about it for a while and decided to stay there tonight.Arielle drove very well, overtaking all the way, driving the navigation, and soon arri
Leonard Grey got up to wash his hands, washed his face, and sat at the dining table, looking at two side dishes, a beautifully placed boiled egg, and a pot of Mushroom porridge. Arielle gave him a bowl of porridge with a spoon and sat beside him looking at him expectantly. Leonard Grey scooped a spoonful of porridge into his mouth and was startled for a moment. The rice in his mouth was really indescribable. It was soft and soothing, never had he thought she was going to pull it. Arielle asked, "Is it delicious?" He smiled and shook his head, "It's okay."He drank the bowl of porridge in one go and asked, "Anything else?"Arielle nodded happily, "I'll give it to you." She gave him all the porridge in the pot, and said, "There are two side dishes here, you can eat some too." Leonard Grey took a bite of celery and took a sigh of relief. The taste was not bad. "It tastes good," he said. Arielle smiled proudly, "So I still have this talent, I actually dont know how to cook. This is my fir
Anabel nodded, "I will, oh, by the way, Dad, my sister must have borrowed this car from Edward if my sister doesn't have time to go return it back, I can help her return the car today, such an expensive car, we will also If it’s not good, it’s always kept in our house, and if it gets scratched, it’s not good.” we can't afford to have it scratched in our parking. I will be more than happy to help her get the car, after all, it is my finance, hence I dont permission to visit”Sir Lucas felt that Anabel said it well, "Okay, I'll talk to your sister later." When Claudia heard her daughter's words, she laughed happily. As expected of her daughter, she could take the opportunity of returning the car to get online with Edward. Arielle came downstairs with her bag, Sir Lucas called her, "Arielle."Arielle turned back and Sir Lucas said, "You drove back that car last night. Let your sister drive it for a day today. She has lived a hard life since she was a child. You, the elder sister, let her
'Snapped' Sir Lucas slammed his hand on the table, "Arielle, you are really a person who doesn't know what to do, it should be an honor to let her have your back. I know you miss your mother but Claudia has been here for you for a very long time, what happened? You are not the daughter I raised” At this point, Claudia's eyes were slightly red, and she stretched out her hand and pulled Sir Lucas, "Lucas, don't scold Arielle, she's right, I…. I'm not even a stepmother, I'm not married to you, what the hell am I? What is it? I am in Cowell’s household, but what place do I hold? I can't go out with you as a wife without being mistaken for the nanny of your daughter it really not her fault"Anabel comforted Claudia by the side, "Mom, don't cry, Dad loves you, he will definitely marry you." After talking to Claudia, she said to Sir Lucas with tears in her eyes "Dad, my mother has been with you for several years. You should give her an identity no matter what. I know Arielle still wants he
"Damn it, this guy is so awesome, he actually used a Volkswagen to catch up with our sports car." A man got out of the car and said, but the man in the car did not move and requested his driver to back in and continue riding. Arielle looks at the car with so much hate, this was no way to drive. "Bro Lawrence, please get out of the car and see if it's a professional athlete. With this car, am I dazzled? With Volkswagen's performance, driving so fast, the car might catch fire."Bill Lawrence got out of the car, and Leonard Grey and Arielle also got out of the car.The four met, and Bill Lawrence slightly swipe his hands over the Volkswagen. Among the professional players, there seemed to be no such person. He was wearing a leather jacket of a professional racing driver, wrapping himself tightly.He raised his chin at Leonard Grey, "Bro, which one are you doing? What do you want to do after chasing my car all the way?"Leonard Grey tilted his head to look at Arielle, Arielle asked him t
Collins Turker asked Bill Lawrence, "Brother Lawrence, what are you thanking her for?"'Snapped'Bill Lawrence slapped Collins Turker on the back of the head, "Shouldn't we be thankful for her saving our lives? She will be our supporter in the future, so be more respectful when you meet her.""Oh, oh oh." Collins Turker nodded.Sitting in the car, Arielle asked Leonard Grey, "Do you think I'm really nosy?" Leonard Grey shook his head, "I think you want to show me your driving skills.""I don't mean to show off my driving skills, I'm just meddling." Arielle raised her eyebrows.Leonard Grey just smiled and said nothing. Arielle was going to have some snacks and went to a snack shop. In fact, Leonard Grey had never been to this kind of shop to eat. She was not used to it for a while, but Arielle was familiar with the road. A Small joint operated within the snack shop which sells bears and freshly cooked forest meat. She was so eager to have a taste of it after a very long time. Leonard
Leonard Grey quickly hugged her and carried her into the car. She wrapped her hands around his neck and her eyes were red, "What did I do wrong? Why don't you want me anymore?"Hearing this, Leonard Grey's heart moved slightly, and the hand that gently patted her back froze slightly, but it was only for a moment, he continued to pat her gently, trying to make her feel more comfortable. Arielle slowly fell asleep under his tap. Leonard Grey got out of the car, took out his mobile phone, and made a call, "Mom, please do me a favor."Mrs. Alphia Grey held the phone, "What? Youre asking me to attend my daughter-in-law's graduation ceremony? What about her family?"At this moment, Mr. Grey and Uncle Mathews stood behind Mrs. Alphia Grey and listened quietly. When she asked these words, the two men behind her became anxious.Mr. Grey tapped the ground with his crutches, "Full support for my grandson's relationship, and any requirements must be met."Uncle Mathews said, "You promise, you hav
The corner of Arielle's mouth twitched, this Leo would really enjoy it. He not only hired a servant, but he hired a servant with money he made out of selling his body hired, he is indeed a man of great strength and charisma” Her thoughts were interrupted but the inquiries of Glory "Miss Cowell will you want to eat local breakfast or Western style?".Arielle thought for a while, since she mention what she wanted her to choose from, it was certain the meal had not been made hence to save the old lady some trouble she decided not to eat. "If you haven't cooked it, it's ok, I won't eat, it's too early. It's just past breakfast time to save you the trouble."Glory shook her head, "Oh, no, no, it's already done, but I wasn't sure of which you will like hence I asked, so I know which to serve”?Arielle: " she was doumforunded. She didn't know what to say, so she kept her mouth shut she suddenly felt she was been treated like a royal restaurant abroad.She didn't answer for a long time, and G
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
