I apologize for the incident last night. We can get married if you want, or better still, you can come to me if you need anything.” the man tells her, from his expectation, he knows she will quickly agree to marry him who won't want to marry a man like him. The man's voice was indifferent, with a high sense of charity. Such a tone made Arielle annoyed, she never needed any charity."Marry you? Need anything? What do you think I am? You are raped, and I'm going to sue you. You have some nerves you know, first you rape me, then you offer me money?Do you think I need some money from you, what a jerk, the man suddenly chuckles.” so little miss thinks I rape her? How about I rephrase the statement and ask you instead? You came on my last night, you broke into my room and you were the first to send me to the bed,not to say you were all over me and now I am the one who suddenly raped you? Yeah right, so you did say something about suing me, well I will love to press charges, we will be goi
Arielle felt all sore and having a bath seems like the best idea, she rushes into the bath. When the lukewarm water hit her body, most of her tiredness disappeared. She still felt sore when she was done but it was better. She walks out of the bathroom, with a towel tight around her chest. The old man who came earlier was waiting for her with 2 other ladies all dressed in suits and holding a set of clothing and shoes. The dresses were placed on the bed and the ladies gave her a simple bow before exiting the room. “Here are your clothes miss Cowell” the old man did not dare look her in the eye. Arielle picks up the dresses and examines them, she wonders how they got her size same shoe size the same and perfect. A pair of white pants and a blue tank top with a black jacket. She wasn't a fan of fancy clothes in her previous life but she was indeed going to give some time to fashion this time around., Arielle didn't have time to ask anything else but thought silently in her heart,
The marriage proposal between Miss Claudia Comfrey and Lucas Cowell has been hanging for so long, Arielle smiles at the thought of her grandfather refusing them from getting married only for Miss Claudia to be suddenly pregnant a sudden few months ago. Arielle vividly remembers how the pregnancy alone caused the approval, now thinking about it, it had so many loopholes. First, she became pregnant, which she thought she should have done years ago. But why so suddenly?She is very much aware of how ambitious Claudia is and to think she stayed so long without having a child should have raised reasons for suspicions, but now thinking of it they were too negligent to notice any of the loopholes. But that was not only the point she missed in her last life. She suddenly came back saying the child was a boy and this was the main reason her grandfather agreed for her father to marry her stepmother. But yeah she has not been pregnant all this while, the lady was very good with schemes that s
In her previous life, she only later learned that Claudia was not pregnant at all. At that time, to get her grandfather to allow her to enter the Cowell family's door, she colluded with Dr. Philip from Renhe's Private Hospital to have a fake pregnancy, but she didn't know whether her father had any idea about the fake pregnancy...Arielle walks up the stairs as quickly as she could feel her stepmother walking close behind her, in her previous life, she was mistaken for pushing her and Anabel did not fail to pour more flames into the situation. She quickly takes out her mobile phone and positioned it as high as she could, standing by the top of the stairs, she smirked knowing how Claudia will be all disgraced when she realized she did not fall for her little trick., she might as well upload it to social media if they make her angry. Claudia was so distracted in her attempt to create her fall not paying attention to what the person in front of her was doing. Arielle knew just when her
Claudia knew for sure that Arielle was scared of her father and she would not dare go ahead with her plans after being badly scolded by him. However, she did miss an important point, for Arielle right before isn't the same Arielle who left home the night before. Her grip on the pillow underneath her dress lost a bit and Arielle took the chance to pull it out with all her strength. The entire room went all quiet, one could get here the sound of a dropping needle. Everyone stood quiet and dumbfounded, not knowing what to say or how to react, this was the last of their expectations. Arielle throws the pillow in her father's face, which he caught with shaking hands. “Wow, Daddy, take a good look at your son, I must say he is a fine gentleman and will grow up to be a handsome man” Everyone could feel the laughter and mockery in her tune of words. She was not going to go lightly on them and her father did not dare take it lightly for grandfather was present and will be highly disappointe
Sir Lucas took the bowl and coughed unnaturally, "Arielle darling, you should go to bed earlier, don't play with your laptop late at night okay? Father will take his leave now." After speaking, he took the empty bowl and left Arielle's room. Standing at the door of this pink and tender room, Sir Lucas let out a breath. He didn't know why, how could he feel that his daughter had suddenly grown up and become unfamiliar to him, he was very depressed when talking to her. Looking back in time, his daughter has really grown up so much. It felt like just yesterday she will go around hanging on his leg and calling him daddy, but today, she is acting all grown up and can even say what she will and won't do. This new change of hers really amazed her father. Sir Lucas returns to his room where Claudia was already eagerly waiting for his return. She has been walking around in a circle which was making her feel dizzy. When she sees Sir Lucas, she quickly hurries up to him not waiting for him
Anabel’s hand paused and her voice suddenly became higher. “Mother, what do you mean? are you saying you want Arielle to marry Edward? But Edward is mine and we love each other. You can’t have her marry him, Mother, I should get everything and she should be left with nothing. She should be able to feed from my leftovers for that's all she deserves.” Claudia’s face slightly changed as she raised her voice with a guilty smile. “Hey Arie, are you going out?” Arielle gives them a weird smile and nods “yes” and then left with her bag. She was elegantly dressed in casual attire. As soon as Arielle left Anabel asks in a panicked voice. “Mother, is she gone? Did she hear us just now?” she was
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.
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
