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
Chapter 94Grandpa Alberto stood transfixed as he heard the news regarding Vincenzo’s health. He was restless and paced about in his room trying to think about what he had to do. He wasn’t ready to lose his grandson because Vincenzo meant a lot to him. “What did Ariana say about this?” Grandpa Alberto asked over the phone, he had called Vincenzo to find out what was going on, since he was restless. “Ariana hasn’t said a word. I don’t want to disturb her or push her to do something she doesn’t want. I am okay keeping the baby, I can’t have her go through losing a child again” Vincenzo replied, and Grandpa Alberto clutched his hand. He knows Vincenzo is going to give up easily, but he is not the type to do that. “I hope she decides soon,” Grandpa Alberto said, and the call came to an end. He dropped the phone on top of his bed and sighed. What was he going to do in a situation like this? He had several thoughts running through his mind at once, but none could help him with the answe
It’s been three days after Grandpa Alberto visited Ariana begging her to save Vincenzo, Arianna has been quiet in her room thinking about everything, even though she had agreed to save Vincenzo, she couldn’t help to think about her child whom she thought she will never get to see his face. She sighed and suddenly heard a knock on her door, she quickly wiped the tears that escaped her eyes and went for the door, she pushed the door open and saw Vincenzo standing before her, Vincenzo had a worried expression on his face and Ariana looked away immediately. She doesn’t want Vincenzo to know she has been crying, which will only very him worried and that will be detrimental to his health, she only wants to see him get better and that is the only thing that could make her happy. “How are you feeling? I noticed you spent most time alone in your room and I got worried, I would like to know if you are okay” Vincenzo asked and a faint smile lingered on her lips. “Yeah, I am fine, you don’t h
Ariana and Vincenzo decided to spend quality time together before the operation, which was ideal for both of them. Ariana looked at herself in the giant mirror and was pleased with the way she looked, she smiled and swirled around, at that same time, Vincenzo opened the door and stepped inside the room. “You look beautiful” he commented and Ariana smiled “Thank you” she replied, and her eyes ran over his physique. “You don’t look bad yourself” she commented while Vincenzo chuckled, moving deeper into the room. “Are you ready? We should go” he said and Ariana nodded. They have been going out every day since the date for the operation was set, they thought nothing mattered than spending quality time together before the reality hits them. Ariana and Vincenzo decided to visit the beach, they walked out of the house and went inside Vincenzo’s car. “Do you care if I turn on the music?” Vincenzo asked and Ariana smiled. “Yeah, I would love that” Ariana replied and Vincenzo turned on the
Ariana went inside the room for the blood transfusion, Martin came inside the room, and he was restless, he wasn’t sure this was the right thing to do. “Vincenzo saw you when he was going to the theater” was the first word that came out of Martin’s mouth as he went inside the room. “What did you tell him?” Ariana suddenly asked, feeling scared. “I convinced him there is no way you are the one” Martin replied and Ariana exhaled deeply. “Thank you so much,” Ariana said and Martin ran his hand on his head.“Are you sure about this? Vincenzo won’t be happy if he finds out, he will feel betrayed” Martin said, skeptical of all they had planned, “It’s better he lives and gets angry than being dead, I won’t be able to live by myself if something like that happens,” Ariana said and Martin gulped down. “Okay,” he said while Ariana moved closer to him. After Grandpa Alberto left the house, pleading with Ariana to save Vincenzo, Ariana thought about everything and she knew she had to sacrif
"What are you talking about?" Vincenzo asked after a long silent contest between him and Ariana."The men who attacked are behind bars," She sighed heavily then leaned against the chair. Her hands went to her belly, rubbing it with a soft smile on her face."My heart sank when I heard the news about you being in the hospital, my love."Ariana muttered, her hands were still rubbing her tummy but one could see the sadness in her eyes."Come here," Vincenzo said with a worried look on his face. He won't forgive himself if anything happened to her.And the last thing he wanted at this moment was for her to be sad.Ariana glanced at him then stood up from the chair she sat on. She slowly walked towards him and sat on the bed."Look here, Ariana. There's nothing for you to be sad about. I love you and that's the one thing you should know." He cupped his hands around her cheeks.Ariana stared into his eyes for a while then nodded."I'll stay strong," She smiled. She held his hands for a while
The man from before stepped out from the prison with a calm look on his face. He took out his phone and dialed a number."Hello boss," the speaker said from the other side of the call. There were noises from the background but the man knew exactly what was going on. He looked around and whispered a few words to the phone."Get the car ready and make sure you monitor them very well. The man has already asked us to unleash the plan so we must clear this case tonight and leave no trace behind, you get that?" He asked slowly, still looking around. The responder replied with an affirmation and the man nodded and ended the call."Let's see how you're going to escape from this. You're going to die tonight and I will make sure I leave no traces behind. This job caused me a lot and it's a risk to my life," He muttered then left the place.The man stepped inside his car and drove out of the place towards the bustling city. A few minutes later he packed his car in front of Vincenzo's mansion."
Hours passed by in a flash and the sound of people whispering drifted into Rex's ears. He tried to open his eyes but it seems like his muscles weren't ready to answer him.He struggled for a while but when he saw that it was pointless he laid on the bed and listened to what they were saying."Just take a look at how broken his fingers are, not even surgery can repair them. It is so unfortunate that he has to end up with those people. It seems they haven't stopped their endless and stupid traditions. Oh! I feel for him," A male sighed heavily and from the look of it. It seems he was in the prison hospital.'Was I taken here by them?' Rex thought."Come on, stop it already, look at the way you are speaking?! It's not like the one sleeping on the bed is innocent too! They are all criminals!" The white haired man yelled angrily."They committed a crime! They went against the rules and regulations of the country and so they must be punished by the law! So it is better you keep your mout
Rex sat in the far corner of the cell monitoring the other mates who were shooting glares at him. His mind was filled with thoughts. "It has been a day or two since I got trapped in this cell, while Ariana is out there with that fool," Rex clenched his hands tightly as waves of emotions overwhelmed him. "As long as my plans work out, I will never regret being in this place" He thought while still watching them. One of the burly men in the cell pointed at him and the duos behind him nodded.'I can sense trouble,' His eyes narrowed slightly as the huge man in the middle stood up and walked towards him with a cold and sinister look on his face."Newbie, isn't it about time you pay your respect to the elders in this place? I gave you two good days to come to your senses. Haven't I been generous enough?" He smirked. Rex calmly stared at him for a while then at the men behind him. He kept quiet and focused on the plan he had in mind."Hey you!" The man yelled angrily."You punk! Aren't
Vincenzo looked around his office, he didn't want to be here today, he knew that well, he would rather be at home with his beautiful wife and unborn child.But he also needed to work and sort things out and leave the house because he despised the idea of lying to Ariana.She didn't approve of him getting to the root of the matter, she was chill 'It's out there already' she said, justifying her nonchalant attitude toward the whole issue.He is like that she was not worried he would hate that, with her condition she need not worry. He had read that somewhere.As much as he wanted to let go of the issue, he also wanted to find out where the press had gotten the information, it couldn't have just been out there. He knew how much he had guarded this secret.Finding the truth was not going to be easy. He knew this, these journalists and media people can be very uptight, and getting answers from them would be extremely hard.But he was a determined man and was set to do anything within his po
In between all the chaos of trying to clear the air about the news that came out, Vincenzo also started to get calls from investors in his company saying they wanted to pull out.Everything was crumbling right in front of him.He could afford the investors pulling out at this moment. He had just invested all the company's money, including the ones the investors wanted to pull out. So whatever happened would have to come from him.He'd go bankrupt if that happened.He called the investigator he hired to find out the root of everything. He prayed to God that if it was Rex, he'd make him suffer for a long time.Ariana was the only one doing everything for him at that moment because everyone he had given tasks had turned up with bad news.She requested that she go in to head the meeting with the investors in hopes that she'd stop them from pulling out of the company. After all when they have their child, it would be his property, and she couldn't afford that slipping from him.After the
Rex felt bad that Ariana's feelings were hurt in the process, his plan had only been to hurt Vincenzo.But it was inevitable actually, Ariana had made him admit instead of taking things the way they were she had sought closure and hurt herself in the process.He knew Vincenzo would come for him once he knew the truth, he loved Ariana too much to not have any Justice for what he did, and he was well-prepared for anything.Being well aware of the influence Vincenzo had, Rex knew he couldn't do it alone, he required help, some sort of backup, someone to be there for him if things went South.He found a perfect partner in Marcus, their hate for Vincenzo had brought them together, and they intended to take him out of the way, certainly.When Rex heard the sirens just outside his house, he wasn't scared, he had backup, and he knew he wouldn't stay there for long.***“Trending on many social media platforms now is the contract paper that seems to belong to Mr. Vincenzo and his wife.”“The c
Ariana got up without a word and walked out of the house without looking back, she got what she wanted and her mission was done.She took off her heels immediately, she slammed the door behind her. Holding the tears back until she got into the waiting cab.“Go,” she said as she stepped in, slamming the door and making the driver jolt in his seat before turning to look at her.“I'm sorry” she apologized as she caught a glimpse of the look on his face.Without another word, he drove out of the premises.She let the tears flow, Rex had abused her. He probably didn't realize it, but he did, taking off her clothes and taking those illicit photos of her.Safe to say, he was and still is sickly obsessed with her. If he truly loved her, why did he chose Vera over her? Why did he hurt her or was she meant to be hurt by all the men she loves?Was it her fate? She looked out the window, watching as the street went by as they drove with her mind reeling with different thoughts. Wondering what V
Vincenzo woke up a happy man. Every day was good for him as long as he had her with him. Everything in the world seemed okay.The sky was sunny, the birds were chirping, and all was right.He got up from bed, but not without kissing her on her forehead and her protruding stomach.He was careful not to wake her up.Furthermore, he felt she needed more rest. Likewise, he wanted to avoid anything that would cause any complications to arise.He got up, showered, got dressed in a particular suit he had chosen for that day, and dashed on her perfume. He wanted to be reminded of her all day long.He went to check on her before he left, in case she had already woken up.Panic coarse through him as he didn't find her on the bed. He felt his heart starting to race.He calmed down when he called out her name, and he heard her voice from the bathroom. “Is everything alright?” She asked as she stepped out of the bathroom, confused as to why he looked so worried.“Everything's wonderful, darling"
