Ariel's POV…The atmosphere in the room got tensed rather too quickly after she said that. I never doubted the authenticity of her words, but at what price does it come?Agnes isn't good enough to give me that large sum of money without a condition—she desires something from me, but what?The smirk persisted on her lips as she maintained her gaze on me. I heaved a deep sigh now contemplating whether to speak any further. If I remain silent, she'll feel awkward and eventually leave, but if I utter a word she'll continue. “So, what do you say, Ariel?” Agnes turned fully facing me. I chewed my lips, thinking hardly on my next course of action. “Ariel, dear?” she called again due to my lack of response. “You'll give me that large amount of money. Why? What do you want in return? You're far from being generous, so what's the chase?” I asked, and she gasped, feigning shock. Then again, her expression twisted into a wicked one shortly. “I'm impressed how tactfully you think. Well, you're r
Kevin's POV…“Thank you! Come again soon!” the waitress beamed gleefully as I walked out of the restaurant. I was done, grabbing Ariel and mine breakfast. I'm very much aware how reluctant she will be to leave the hospital, so it's only advisable I get something for her to eat. With a hand tucked into my pocket and the other holding on to the nylon, I walked slowly back. I wondered if Tikka has awoken. “I pray that she has” I whispered quietly. It is f****** evident that someone must have orchestrated the whole robbery. But who the hell might have done that? Thinking deeply into it is not going to provide an answer, so it's best I do not bother. I stopped walking on the sidewalk as soon as my phone began to ring loudly. Gazing, I gritted my teeth once I saw its Tyler. “Must he be a pain in my ass?” I muttered while swiping the green button. “Kevin, is she awake now! How is Tikka doing?” little brat asked gushingly; so he doesn't care about me, his brother? “I don't know, okay. And
Kevin's POV…I contemplated for a long time whether to go see her. Fortunately, it is still noon, but night it is creeping in slowly. Then again, what could she possibly want from me?If she's going to reprimand me for beating her fucking son to a pulp, then she has another think coming to her. I let out a low hiss and tossed the phone carelessly on the bed. I have better things to do than seeing her. Shortly after that Ariel emerged from the bathroom with water dripping freely from her body—her wet blonde hair stuck rebelliously to her forehead adding so much to her beauty—those pinkish lips of her, although a bit swollen due to our numerous kisses, appeared so tempting; it won't hurt to kiss her again right? Unknowingly, I had been staring for quite a while. “You look like you're going to devour me anytime soon” her sassy tone broke through thoughts. I blinked rapidly, a bit ashamed. “You can't blame me for having such a hot mate” I responded, although it was almost inaudible. Ari
Ariel's POV…I understood perfectly why Kevin is so skeptical about the whole dinner—I am too, but I just have to keep to my words. Asides that, there's something I need to attain from Ace; it might get risky but to ensure a flawless revenge, it must be done. Later that evening, after paying Tikka a visit, I boarded a taxi to the mansion. Throughout the drive, my eyes were fixed on the screen of my phone due to Kevin's persistent text. I don't understand why he's so apprehensive, maybe it's his hunch. I spent the ride there, texting Kevin reassuringly until I arrived. Done settling the fee, I walked into the mansion. Halting at the doorstep, I inhaled as I attempted to knock. Then again, the door suddenly got opened from within, revealing Ace. His face was decorated with plasters—not like I'm surprised; Kevin was ruthless. “Sweetheart!” he squealed, grabbing hold of my hand instantly. Although I felt uncomfortable with his touch, I could merely smirk disgustingly. He shut the door
Ariel's POV…Ace had been a bit sensible, so he paid the cab driver. Arriving at the hospital, I alighted and went swiftly in. My mind kept bugging me to give Kevin a call, but perhaps once I'm done seeing Tikka. After all, she is injured, and it'll only be cruel of me to act nonchalantly. Again I was directed to a ward—different from the previous one she was in; the doctor said it was essential because of the transplant. Pushing the door of the ward open, it revealed both Kevin and Tyler. Apparently, Kevin had been overwhelmed by Tyler's consistent troubles, so he had no choice but to bring Tyler here.“You're back!” Kevin smiled brightly as he came closer. We hugged shortly, since I felt uncomfortable by Tikki's and Tyler's continuous gaze—do they have a problem?“I'm going to say this again; if you all want to make out, then get the f*** out of my ward!” Tikka scrawled playfully. “Honestly, neither of 'em have any self-control” Tyler etched while shaking his head. I ignored Tyler
Ariel's POV…My eyes dilated in shock once he said that—is this fucker being serious right now? I snarled, letting my displeasure show. “College? With you? No, thank you!” I blurted, withstanding the appalled look on his face. “Ariel, are you shitting me? “You're not interested in going to college with me or what?” He rasped astonishingly. “Ace…”“Did I do something wrong again? Tell me if I've!” Ace held my hands and gaped into my eyes—despite how sincere he might look to others, I know too goddamn well he's a phony son of a bitch. I withdrew my hands and turned. “Ace leave. I'm not interested, okay? Don't push it”.I left once I said that, leaving him glued to the floor. Eventually, Ace had to leave, and I felt so relieved—there's nothing on Earth that's going to make me agree to the outrageous offer; I, Ariel, live with that dirtbag? Nah. I'll rather lick the balls of a donkey. “What was that about?” Tikka asked as I walked in with an angry aura lingering around. I scoffed befo
Chloe's POV…Waking up due to the penetrative rays of sun shine, I rolled on the bed before yawning. I woke up only to find myself feeling f****** limb and a bit sore down there. Then again, once I turned over to glance at Ace, I couldn't help but smile recalling the wild night we had—we made sweet passionate love like no other, and he did not hold back. For some seconds, I continued gaping at him with different thoughts running through my head—disturbing thoughts. I let out a sigh while diverting my gaze to the ceiling.Due to her radiant the sun shone, I could tell it's already daybreak; which also means Agnes'll soon barge in here. As much as I do desire for her approval to date her son, I'm getting sick and tired of her f****** attitude—never once has that old hag appreciated my effort but instead complain relentlessly. I am aware the only way to get her approval is by killing Ariel—but how the f*** am I supposed to do that?I am pretentious;not a murderer, and I don't intend to b
Ariel's POV…The ride to the mall seemed lengthy, since we've been driving for some time now. Personally, it's been quite long since I visited the mall—it's a super fancy and extravagant mall that Chloe loves to visit; to her, the cheap ones aren't good enough. I let out a sigh while staring outside the window—I'm getting bored. Slowly, I regretted coming along with her, but I had a motive. I'm definite she wants to shop for prom which undoubtedly not attending, but I need new clothes. Purchasing clothes for myself and Tikka isn't a had idea, right? As the drive persisted, my phone began blaring. “Who's that? Oh, don't tell me that's Ace?” Chloe smirked annoyingly at me. I glared lightly at her, then glanced at the caller's ID; it's Kevin. Speaking to him while Chloe's around won't be a good idea; thus I declined the call. “That's Ace right? Seriously girl you've got to start treating him right! Y'know he loves you” Chloe said with a smile lingering on her lips.Since she's drivin
