"For now?" She asked."Mm?" Rex gave her a questioning look."I am not a property Rex," She said crossed armed." I know, " He calmly replied taking off the fruits from the cartons. "And I do not think it's a good idea to stay there like we are babies. I know that I am pregnant and needs the care and must stay healthy but… aren't you ashamed that your stepbrother will be the one taking care of us?" She asked, clearly not liking the idea."Don't worry, it's just for a short time and you will be out soon," He said."Short time? 9 months is short time to you?" She asked furiously."You just returned from the hospital Vera, please don't stress yourself over this," He said to her.Vera glared at him angrily and walked away. Rex sighed helplessly and continued arranging the house.At the same time at Vincenzo's mansion.Arianna walked out of her room with a towel and a bowl of water in hand."I am fine," Vincenzo glanced at the objects on her hands and knee instantly what she intended to d
"Welcome home, Vera," Mrs Wesley's cheerful voice echoed in the mansion as the couples walked in."Greetings, Ma'am," Vera smiled but one can see that it was a forced smile."Please come in, don't behave as if you are strangers here. This is your home and you are always welcome," Mrs Wesley smiled at her then held her son's hands."You did a good just for letting her back here. I am still surprised that your father agreed to let you in but… you still have a bad taste in his mouth. You just have to focus on your wife and the unborn child, I want you to leave all the expenses and be free here," She said, smiling but one could see the sadness in her eyes."That's not the reason why I came here mum. I know the inheritance has been given to Rossi and i have no property to my name nor inheritance. I want my wife to be safe not me, I will go out there and search for jobs but if nothing comes out of it I will think of what to do next," He said to her then held Vera's hands."She's more import
Vera quickly moved away from the door and ran to her room so she could hide from the person coming out. She clenched her hands tightly as soon as she got to their room. "His driver?" She gritted her teeth angrily then looked away."I'll rather die than be in this house in poverty!" She clenched her hands tightly and returned to her room. She waited for some few minutes without hearing anything from Rex. She thought he might have gone out of the house so she decided to execute her plan right away. She quickly put on some sexy clothes in her hand bag and walked out of the room. She looked around then silently sneaked out of the mansion."The guards aren't in the gate," She muttered on seeing how silent outside was. She looked around the ran straight at the gate and dashed away.She looked around like she was waiting for someone.She took out her phone and dialed a number,"Where are you?" She asked the instant the call connected."Come foward, I can see you," A cold voice answered. Sh
Vera smiled to herself as she stared at the document. This was the last thing she expected. Rex surely knew how to keep a secret. Did he actually think she was as gullible as Ariana? She brought out her phone and dialed a number. It rang twice before the other person slurred."Vera, you should know how much I value my beauty sleep...""Rex had been lying to me to me!" Vera said, cutting him off. She calmly explained what she saw and the reason she called him."What?!" Sam's voice sounded from the phone. He sounded excited yet, doubtful. "A mansion?! You told me he had no money so how come he bought a mansion!?" Sam yelled angrily."I- I don't know, I am as confused as you and right now I don't know what to do," She said biting her nails."How much does it cost," He asked, breathing heavily."$20,000" She answered."That's a lot of money, damn it!" He cursed angrily."We have to either get that mansion or sell it!" He said."We need the money to start up a new life together and eve
"I am not leaving this place until I hear the said words from Vincenzo! He ha to tell me by himself that he is wedded to Harriet!" Ariana yelled angrily. She looked around and picked her phone to dial Vincenzo's number but the mother was quick to snatch the phone from her."You wouldn't dare to do and if I were you, I will pick my bag in shame and leave this premises instantly!" She said firecely then threw the phone away. "I see all these as tricks you and Lily are trying to pull on me but I will tell you this for the last time. Vincenzo isn't one to betray me!" She defended."Did I hear that right?" Harriet's voice sounded from the living. Her voice was filled with mockery and sarcasm.Ariana's eyes widened in disbelief as she slowly turned towards where the voice came from "What are you doing here?" She asked coldly. Everything felt like a mess, why does she have this feeling that they were trying to ruin their relationship?!"Isn't obvious or are you now blind that you can't see
"Ariana!" Shirley screamed her name. As soon as Ariana got into the apartment, she could finally let go of her emotions and before she knew it, she slumped down, unconscious. Shirley quickly rushed forward, grabbing her. She wanted to take her to the hospital but she couldn't lift Ariana up. "Please help me sir! My friend is heavily covered in blood and I am afraid she might-" Shirley dashed out of the house hoping to get a cab but none was working at this time of the hour.But thankfully a neighbor was about going out. Hearing Shirley's voice, he quickly walked toward them."Oh, my God. What happened to her?" The man asked and quickly followed after Shirley towards where Ariana was on the floor.Her clothes were still wet and there were few bloods stain on her wet shirt."Come on," The woman carried her and they got inside the car and drove out of the place."Please help me! I need a streacher!" Shirley yelled the instant she got inside the hospital.A nurse turned towards her dir
"Ariana, I am home!" Vincenzo's domineering voice echoed in the quiet house. He placed the briefcase on the table while he took out his phone to check the time with his hands covered in gloves.His meeting involved shaking hands with women representatives. In order not to cause misunderstanding, he always put on gloves to those meetings. Due to his haste to get home, he couldn't take off the gloves. "It's 6am already," He thought then climbed the stairs that linked to their rooms."Ariana?" He called out knocking at the door but no one answered him and just as he was about to call Martin, a crash sounded from the room."Ariana?" He held the knob and pushed the door open. He looked around and frowned at the dark room before him."Why are you hiding in the dark, Ari. What are you doing?" He chuckled lightly and turned on the light but was shocked to see the person before him. "Harriet," He spat out coldly. Harriet smiled alluringly then slide off the bed walking seductively towards hi
"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
