"Were you able to get in touch with Shirley?" Vincenzo's cold voice resonated in the car as he got inside. He had just returned from the office to pick up a file."No, she isn't answering her phone," Martin replied and the sound of objects crashing could be heard in the background."Are you sure you are okay there?" Vincenzo asked."I am fine, just a little dizzy. I'll send my men to check her house and you should go to Ariana's house or any place you think she can go to," Martin said."I am already there. Give me feedbacks later," Vincenzo said then hang up the call.He turned on the engine of the car and drove off into the streets. He quickly dialed Mark's number and instructed him to search for Ariana's whereabouts but there was a problem."You found her?" He asked slowly waiting in line for the traffic light to enter green."No sir. We searched all the places we know that she would be but nothing," Mark replied. " Her phone is with me and it will be very difficult to find her w
Half an hour ago…Ariana's apartment."What are you doing here?" Ariana's brows furrowed tightly as she stares vigilantly at the haggered looking man."I am here to see you," His voice sounded hoarse and his breath reaks of alcohol."Please leave," Ariana said through clenched teeth."Oh, no I can't," He leaned towards her but she quickly backed away."I do not know what you are doing here but you have to leave immediately!" She said angrily." Please darling, just give us a second chance." He burped then smiled sheepishly." I know that I messed up the first time and I regret it and i want you back in my life. That woman, Vera isn't treating me right," He burped again then sluggishly walked towards her." You treated me right and i need you," He spread his arms open for a hug." Disgusting!" Ariana clenched her hands tightly as memories resurfaced in her mind. She held the luggage tightly as an uncontrollable amount of anger well up inside of her and that voice came again.'Kill him.
Rex watched the woman he married hurling insults at him. He became a pauper in her eyes just because he had lost everything. This was the same woman he sacrificed everything for. The same woman who made him leave Ariana, who loves him so much."Vera, you don't love me even a little bit? I promise to work hard ag...""And you think I would waste my beauty and time on a poor man like you until someone pitifully hands some peanut to you?" Vera cuts him off with a sneer." That's not what I mean. I need you, Vera...""I will leave now and do not even think of calling me because I will not answer you," Vera said coldly, not wanting to waste time there. She slammed the door shut eliciting a shocked reality on Rex. His wife just left home... In anger Rex left the house and went to a bar to drink himself to stupor. He kept visiting the bar for days, thinking about Vera who truly left him. Rex didn't want to believe that he made a mistake in choosing Vera.He was drinking at the bar one day
"You can come out now," Vincenzo's cold voice jolted Ariana out of her trance.She glanced at him but still got out of the car. The cold wind brushed against her shoulders causing her to shiver slightly."Come with me," Vincenzo held her hand tightly and pulled towards the mansion.Ariana dared not speak a word to him, knowing fully well that he was extremely furious at her but was only trying to hold back due to an unknown reason."You are hurting me," She muttered softly. Vincenzo's brow tightens but he still heed to her complains and lessen his hold on her wrist.He pushed the door open and they both walked inside the living but before Ariana could complain a cold voice resonated in the living room." I never expected you to do such son! You hang up the call because of her?" Mrs Courtney walked down the stairs with a grimacing look on her face.She was extremely furious!"Mother," Vincenzo calmly replied and held Arianna's hand but when Mrs. Alberto saw this she flared up at him."
Ariana held the knob tightly debating on what she should do next. She couldn't stand the fact that Vincenzo was arguing with his mother because of her. "I won't lie to you. I feel guilty for leaving without you knowing, but I had no choice. You lied to me and I couldn't stand the pain of bring betrayed," She muttered softly as the voices of the duo downstairs echoed in her head. She sighed helplessly and stood up from the floor. She slowly turned towards the room and sigh. There was a lot going through her mind and not even words could explain the pain she was going through."Why did you lie to me? Why didn't you tell me that you were married to Harriet? Why did you keep it to yourself?" She clenched her hands tightly and sighed again."What am I even saying? Who am I to ask him these questions? I do not know him before nor his maritak status before I fell into his arms and we had a deal.""But… I thought we were making thus real, so why all of these?" She muttered.Her eyes blurre
"I dont understand," Vincenzo muttered. "Oh, you suddenly don't understand what I mean? Or you want to hide the fact that you are married her?" She glared angrily at him.Vincenzo sighed helplessly then walked towards her." I seriously don't know what you are talking about. Harriet and I are not married. Where did you get such information from?" He asked, confused.Vincenzo frowned and wondered where she got that crazy idea from. They have been together for months and she should have known better.He sighed again."I only wanted you to give me an explanation but I seriously don't know why you are hiding it," she said, ready to tear up."You are misunderstanding me again, Aria. You should have known me better, we are not strangers anymore." He replied."Gosh, I mean we have lived in the same roof for more than 2 months. I expected more from you," He added."I know and I understand that I shouldn't be doing this but you leave me no choice, Vincenzo. You don't! I mean, your mother told
Ariana silently watched as Vincenzo unwrapped the letter and in her heart she prayed that he accept the child."This…" He muttered, silently browsing through the content in the letter. His hands started shaking and Ariana held her breath.His next words will determine the fate of their child. If it's to keep the marriage or train the child alone."Is anything the problem?" Ariana asked, slowly making her way towards him."Everything's fine. Everything is perfectly fine… " He pulled her into a hug. Arianna's eyes weaved a bit wnd suddenly turned blurry." Is that a yes?" She asked, her voice in the form of a whisper." You don't have anything to be scared of. You are my wife and this is my child," he whispered, gently rubbing her hair.Overwhelmed with emotions, Ariana tightly embraced him. Her body was shaking violently.Vincenzo nodded and continue rubbing her hair." You have endured the sufferings for too long. It's time to seek happiness, and that's what I am giving to you," He wh
Vincenzo stared at the apartment before him. He still couldn't believe Harriet and his mother would go to such an extent just to send Ariana away. He was so livid that he could hardly control his anger.His mother and sister had the guts to bribe Ariana to leave him! It looked like he had been too lenient on all of them. If not for Mark who told him about the meeting between Ariana and his mother, he wouldn't have known what they were up to.Good thing that Ariana rejected the offer. Although it doesn't matter because he was ready to triple the amount just to make her stay. He would do everything just to make Ariana stay with him.As for Harriet... he would deal with her right now.How could Harriet do something like that? Even if she wanted to send Ariana away, which was definitely not possible, Ariana was still the woman he would continue to love, and he just can't watch anyone take her away from him. He stepped out of his car and looked at the familiar building before him. And wit
