Chapter TwentyAriel's POVTrembling in fear, I couldn't stop myself from biting my lips extremely hard. The look on Ace's face is scaring the shit out of me. Why the hell is he staring at me so lustfully? Even his lips were held in a lewd smile. He's never gazed at me with such unholy eyes before. And seriously, I am so afraid. “What…are you doing, Ace? Stop ogling at me like that!” I screamed out, insanely loud; I wanted to attract attention. I need anyone, someone, or anything to disrupt this moment. Unless Ace is going to do something we're both going to regret.He snarled, probably vexed at how much I yelled. “Stop shouting!” he growled demandingly.“That's not going to happen. If you don't let me go, then get ready to be the center of attention!” I blurted raucously. Ace gritted furiously as his eyes roamed around shortly. Maybe he saw someone heading towards us, so he dressed normally. I heaved a sigh of relief as he returned his manhood to its rightful position. I assumed A
Chapter Twenty-oneKevin's POVWhat occurred last night was kept a secret from Tyler. If that little rat ever gets to know that Ariel got abused by Ace, then I'm sure he's going to kill me. To him, I'm obliged to always be by her side and rescue her. But fortunately for me, I returned home last night only to find him sleeping in bed. While I made breakfast this morning and left for school, he didn't utter a word about Ariel. I was thrilled I got down the address of the waitress in the restaurant, same thing with her contact info. As expected, Ariel will be living with her from now on. Despite how much I wanted her to stay with me, I have to respect her decision. After all, I was the one who gave her the permission to leave. But I couldn't help but consider the fact that Ace might be stubborn—there's a possibility he will do everything in his power to get Ariel back. Sigh….It's all getting on my nerves. I just wish she could f****** tell him everything about us. If he refuses to bac
Chapter Twenty-two. Ariel's POV“Ariel, there's an order at table four!” the voice of Eros resounded through the kitchen as he walked in with a slip in his grip. He's supposed to do it himself yet gave me the obligation. “You know that's your order, not hers” Tikka didn't fail to complain, and he rolled his eyes carelessly at her. “Don't worry. I'll do it!” I beamed, pleased.They were both shocked as I carried out the order without whining—technically, I complain about every order, so I'm guessing that are quite shocked. Happily, I did as instructed with a wide smile playing continuously on my lips. Despite how shitty some customers were, they couldn't kill my joy due to how immensely gleeful I am. I never realized I had been giving my mood away too much to the others. So during our breakfast and at the ice cream shop, Tikka questioned my mood. “You've been unusually happy today. You even followed Eros' order” she said tactfully while I licked my ice cream cone deliciously. “So?”
Ariel's POVOh, just great. Of all the motherfukers I had to set my eyes on first thing in the morning, it just had to be Agnes isn't it. My fucking god, what the hell is she doing here?A better question, how the fuck does she know I'm staying here now? I'm very positive that Kevin will be the last person to spill the beans. The who the fuck might have give away my location? All that didn't matter at that instant anyway. “Thank goodness you're doing okay!” Agnes attempted to engulf me in a hug, which I politely declined with the raised of a hand. She paused then smiled shortly. “Ma'am I would really appreciate if you could tell me why you are here,” I went straight to the point without beating around the bushe. Seriously, I don't find her presence pleasant. To be sincere, I found it quite irritating. Despite the expression that I portrayed, Agnes played oblivious to it and made her way into the house. As much as I wanted to walk her out, it would seem quite obnoxious and Tikka mig
Ariel's POV Our journey to the bank was pretty short. Tikka and I conversed constantly, so we never really paid any attention to the distance. I could only watch as she made a withdrawal after asking for her bank balance. Together, we stepped out after some hours with a very gleeful Tikka. She couldn't hide her happiness as she kept smiling widely. “With the rate you're smiling, your cheeks are going to rip off,” I grinned at her. She seemed careless as she did a light twirl. “You can't understand my happiness, Ariel. Finally, we can get a better apartment!” she gushed. I rolled my eyes at her, finding a new apartment totally extravagant. “I've said it before, purchasing a new apartment is irrelevant, Tikka. Why the fuck do you keep insisting?” I scoffed, a bit annoyed. “If you combine that amount, aren't you aware your college funds would be sorted out?” I added, hoping she'll reason more carefully. Then again, Tikka seemed to have made up her mind. She etched, then grabbed
Chloe's POV…“If you keep acting this way, Ace, she's not going to forgive you. But like f*** why would you do something like that?” I unintentionally shouted at Ace. We're both currently in the restaurant, and he played oblivious to me as he ate quietly. Mrs. Agnes sent us here in an attempt to reconcile with Ariel, but judging from Ace's lackadaisical attitude, I have a feeling Ariel's not going to forgive him; heck. He doesn't even seem remorseful.“That's not my business. You all are worrying about this matter too much. This is Ariel we're talking about, for fuck’ sake. Give her a day or two, and she'll be back begging me to kiss her. We all know she can't live without me” he said cockily. I almost snarled at him, and, vexed by his refusal to see the seriousness of the matter. Can't he see that Ariel's changed? Why can't he just see that? Or he's trying to be blind to it?“Ace… Ariel isn't the same girl we knew days back, okay? She's changed….. It's so obvious” I whispered gentl
Ariel's POV.....“Ugh! I don't have anything to wear…!!” I groaned out, frustrated. Not only that, but I've been trying to pick the perfect outfit for my date with Kevin, yet I can't decide on anything. Technically, I barely go shopping, so it's understandable I run out of clothes.Now I'm regretting it deeply. Drained, frustrated and a bit sad, I slumped on the bed. Staring at the ceiling, I contemplated whether to ask Tikka for help. She's done so much for me, I really don't want to be a bother to her.Yet, I'll be unable to do anything on my own. “What should I do?” I whispered and pouted heavily. Stealing a glance at the wall clock, I chewed my lips worriedly, since it's almost time for the date. I resorted to asking Tikka, so I stood from the bed. Then again, Tikka had been leaning against the door silently and unknowingly. “Tikka!” I sulked instantly. She chuckled, probably amused at how pathetic I literally am. “What's the matter, baby doll? You look terrible; wipe that pitif
Kevin's POV…Ariel helplessly flushed heavily afterward; her cheeks were bright pink, and she briefly looked away. I never knew she'd get so flustered to the extent she couldn't speak. I snickered as I let go out her hands. The air was getting somewhat awkward, but thankfully the reappearance of the waiter cleared it. He placed our dishes on the table as he dashed out a friendly smile. “Food's here” I spoke, and she finally faced me. Yet, she didn't maintain eye contact. Ariel gently removed her jacket, revealing her blemish free but pale skin. I marvelled at how effortlessly beautiful she can be. She noticed my persistent gaze, then snapped her fingers in my face.“Yeah?” I curved an eyebrow, although I never broke my gaze on her. “Aren't you going to eat?” she asked with a small smile; it's obvious she's slightly shy. “If you're on the menu I'll be happy to” I responded with a coquettish smile. Ariel batted her shiny eyelashes repeatedly before she blushed excessively again.“Kev
