Walter Mansion,Ryan arrived home at night. He didn't have his dinner. He was feeling upset. He didn't know why. Evelyn told him that Arianna didn't come."Let her do what she wants." "She is not a child who should be taken care of." Ryan was annoyed. He strode to his bedroom and changed into sweatpants and a t-shirt. He didn't know himself, but he got used to seeing her face these days. He stepped into the bed for sleep, but Ariana's face and her beautiful hazel-green orbs were haunting him. "I knew it. She is a witch. "She had done something to me." Ryan threw the pillow toward the couch, where she used to sleep these days."Get out of my brain." Why am I thinking about you all the time? "When I don't give a fuck about you." Ryan pulled his hair in frustration."I want to get some rest, but this girl has become my headache." Ryan closed his eyes."I want her back in this room. "I'll get comfort only when she's here." Ryan stepped out of the bed and picked up the car keys and the ce
After arriving home, Ryan helped her with the shower and changed her dirty clothes. She attempted to resist when Ryan was going to unbuckle her bra, but Ryan gave her a deadly look. She removed her grip on his hand. Ryan neared his eyes for her amenity. Ariana adored his act. After changing her into fresh pieces of night pajamas, He laid her on the bed. Ariana tried to resist and clamored."I can sleep on the couch." She was not used to his endorsement, and Ryan's demeanour was exceptional today. He not only stood by her in front of Helen but also took great care of her. She was surprised, yet she was speechless."You'll sleep here from today." "There's no need to lay on the couch." Ryan declared and moved toward his side of the bed. Ariana's mouth opened in stupefaction. because that was a surprise for her. How could he change that much in just two days?"Are you serious?" No, I mean. "Will you be comfortable if I sleep here?" Ariana asked again. She was puzzled. She didn't know the
After some time, Evelyn came back. The nanny had served the drinks, but they didn't take them. Both daughter and mother were crying, and Arianna was vacant. "Is everything okay?" Why are you both crying? Aria, what happened? If anything is troubling all of you, then please share it. "Maybe I can help you." Evelyn was a kind-hearted lady. She was anxious watching them tense and crying. On the other hand, Ariana's silence was scaring her even more."Mom, they are," Ariana's voice shook. How could she lie? She was tense. Helen spoke instantly when she saw Arianna's voice shaking."Mrs. Walter, I'm sorry for bothering you, but I need your help." Helen put her hand on Evelyn. Even though she was way above Helen in position and status, she didn't mind and asked instantly. "Tell me how I can help you." Please stop crying. You don't need to do this.""You know my husband is in a coma and hospitalized." "I have to stay with him day and night, and yesterday." She started to sob. "What happene
Next day,Ariana woke up early. She got fresh and went downstairs to make breakfast. Ryan opened his eyes around seven o'clock. He woke up late today because he slept around five o'clock. He did some office work at night and did thorough research on the people around him. He stepped out of the bed. His wife was already up. He smiled because it was the first time since they married that she got up early. After all, he had a habit of waking up around five o'clock for a morning workout and all the stuff. After getting a shower, he strode to the walk-in closet. He picked up his suit and was about to undo his towel when Ainsley barged inside. Ryan turned towards the door and found her there with her mouth wide open. "I'm sorry. I didn't know you were here. I thought you'd be gone." Ryan folded his arms across his chest."I came for a shampoo. "I didn't find one in my bathroom, and I forgot to bring it with me." She pouted, blinking her eyes."Now will you get out of my room or do I have
Next Day,Ariana went to the university. Ryan dropped her there himself and urged her to carry bodyguards with her, but she refused. Ryan also didn't pressurise her, but he organised them beside her in informal dresses. On other days, she went to the university, but today she was the centre of attention. Some people were mocking her, and some were getting jealous. Some gossiped that she may have climbed into his bed. That's why he married her, and some were saying she was not the girl who married Walter's family. In short, today she was the topic of discussion, and most people were criticising her. Ignoring all of them, she was about to enter her classroom when a notorious group of students approached her and tried to tease her. Before the bodyguards could react, Kieth came there and rescued her. He insulted all of them and tried to be a hero in front of her. Ariana thanked him and went into her classroom, but the teasing didn't stop there.After her classes, she came out of the class
After the rejection, Kieth was fuming with anger. He had already told Ainsley he wouldn't chase Ariana because she was not to his taste. Just because of her assertion, he did. But that average girl had dumped him. It was a slap in his face. He dialed Ainsley's cell phone number. She picked up after four calls."What the heck?" "Why are you calling me again and again if I'm not answering?" She was annoyed."You told me to pursue her to insult me, right?" He gritted his teeth."What do you mean?" What happened?" She withered."That lowly bitch rejected me in clear words. "I have to listen to her just because of you." His nerves were bulging out of the sides of his forehead."Oh, I see,""What the hell are you seeing? Are you here or not? Where are you coming from? I have to calm my anger. Just meet me." Kieth called out, moving out of the university. Ainsley scowled. How could she meet him when she had to meet someone else?"Stop there right now." She ordered.Kieth frowned. He was madl
Ryan's eyes were red, and veins protruded out from the side of his forehead. He was full of rage and fury. He gritted his teeth and increased his grab on the steering wheel. "Trace her," Ryan handed his cell phone to Damien. He frowned. "What?" He added."I enunciate you to trace her location now," Ryan called out. His heartbeat was going crazy.Damien instantly took his cell phone and went through it. Within a minute, he figured it out and started to trace it. The location was still the same. Damien contacted the map, and Ryan followed it. He drove with the speed of light. "But I didn't get it. What is she doing there?" Damien rubbed his forehead."That bastard!" Ryan thumped the steering wheel with full force. "Who did this?" "Who is that bastard?" Damien asked."Connect her microphone and listen if there is any voice." Damien did, but there was no voice. They were getting overwrought.Suddenly, a voice came. "Finally, it's done." "Now my baby will be happy." The person tolled.
Ryan knew who she was. He looked towards the source of the voice, and a lively smile came to his lips. Ariana was there in a terrible state."Ryan," she cried out as she ran towards him and sat beside him."Anna, are you alright?" Ryan caressed her cheek. His eyes became heavy. He wanted to stare at the face of that angel, but his nerves were shutting down."Ryan, how did you get hurt?" "Why did you come?" Her tears cascaded down her cheeks. She couldn't see him in pain, and here he was in the pool of blood.Ryan tried to speak, but the words got stuck in his throat.His eyes no longer supported his vision, and he blanked out."Ryan!" Ariana shouted."Take him to the hospital," she cried, holding him in her arms tightly. She didn't want to let him go. She forgot what had happened to her and how she got there. Right now, only one thing mattered, and that was her husband. Damien was looking at them in a daze. Both of them truly love each other but haven't understood yet. Both were behavi
Evening around 7 o'clockAfter getting free from the office, Kate went to the hospital site to see the progress. Workers had gone home because it was the end of the day. Only the head worker was there for Kate. She asked about advancement and other things and gave further instructions.After that, she called it the end of the day and headed towards her car when Ryan's Bentley stopped beside her."Get in," he said, opening the passenger door. Kate glanced above his car towards her driver. "Go home. I'll come later." He bowed his head, and Kate hopped inside Ryan's Bentley."What are you doing here? I thought you'd be busy as you went in the afternoon, saying you've urgent work." "I come for you, but I think you don't like it," Ryan said with a fake frown as he turned the steering wheel towards the right, and his car sped up on the main road."Yeah, I don't like it because I loved it. Thanks for coming." Kate held his arm and put her head on his shoulder. Ryan kissed her hair, sensing
Quenching the thirst of his inner demons, Ryan left her to take a puff of air inside her lungs, but their foreheads were still joining.“Do you know how scared I was?” He fondled her cheek with the pad of his thumb, inhaling her sweet lavender scent. He was trying to calm himself.“Why?” Kate mumbled, trying to bear with his proximity because it was doing wonders to her body.“You’re asking me why?” Ryan raised his face and looked into her eyes.“I messaged you in the morning, but you didn’t reply. Called you several times, but you didn’t answer. Told you to talk to me through, Ella. Still, you ignored me. Why? Yesterday, you were happy when I left you at your home. Then what happened on a night that you started spurning me? Was it because we had sex?” He uttered, looking into her hazel green orbs. Grimace wrinkled his forehead and his eyes were dull. Her ignorance had hurt him. It was perceptible from his facade.“Tell me, is it because we had sex and you didn’t want it?” Ryan asked a
The following morning, Katelyn woke up around seven o’clock. Even though she took a nap, she felt weary. Maybe it was an emotional exhaustion rather than a physical one. Her brain was still on the fact that she told Carlo that he could decide for her, but she couldn’t live without Ryan. She was afraid of what if Carlo didn’t choose him? With these thoughts, she stepped out of the comforter, slipped her feet into slippers, and made her way to the bathroom to start her day with morning errands.After getting ready into a high-neck black top with white dress pants. She took her coat and went downstairs for breakfast.“Morning,” she greeted, settling on the chair beside Jack. “Morning, how are you feeling?” Jack asked, pouring fresh juice of mango into her glass.“I’m good,” she smiled faintly and started eating her breakfast. Carlo peered at her from time to time but said nothing. He desired to ascertain if Kate would utter a word. She blamed him or hated him for yesterday or not. After
“I’ll come with my parents tomorrow,” Ryan spoke, holding Kate’s hand. He just dropped her outside Alexander’s mansion.“Are you sure? I mean, I just,” she paused, pursing her lips. She didn’t know what to say because tomorrow was too early and she didn’t even talk to her father.“Don’t worry. Jack and I’ll handle everything. Just go and have your sleep. I know you’re still exhausted.” Ryan kissed her knuckles, and Kate hugged him.“Thank you,” she exclaimed, inhaling his soothing cologne to calm herself because she knew her father would be waiting for her behind the gate of this mansion. He had called her several times, so she knew he would be worried, and she had to explain everything.“If you’d like, I can come and talk to Mr. Carlo. You don’t need to be worried.” He caressed her cheek, breaking the hug.“No, it’s alright. You don’t need.”“Alright, get your sleep. I don’t want you to look tired in the morning.” He kissed her forehead, pouring so much love into that kiss. Kate close
“It’s so beautiful.” Kate gaped at the beauty of the lake. It was the place Ryan told to show her as a surprise.“I told you, you’ll like it,” Ryan said, placing his hands in his suit pants.“I loved it,” Kate uttered, moving her hand to the water.“It’s so cold.” She shivered.“Let me warm you.” Ryan’s voice was soft as he went to her and wrapped his arms around her waist.Kate smiled, feeling the gust of air on her face.“Anna,”“Hmm,” she spoke, leaning on him.“Let’s get married. I want you in my life as soon as possible. I’ll talk to my parents, and they’ll come here on the first flight tomorrow and ask your father for your hand. I can’t wait.” He tightened his grip around her waist and buried his face in her neck.“Let me talk to my father first. He may object to our marriage.”Hearing her, Ryan stiffened in his place. Kate sensed it, so she placed her hands on his and spoke.“But don’t worry, Jack will help us. He’ll talk to my dad.”“What if he won’t agree? What will you do? W
Ryan took her to the beach side for their breakfast. The hotel staff decorated the table with white lilies and different dishes were placed on it. Kate liked it because everything was soothing about the venue and the place.Ryan pulled a chair for her, and Kate settled on it. They started their breakfast.“I had something to tell you,” Ryan spoke, not eating much from his plate. Kate looked at him and asked.“What happened?”“We’ll talk after breakfast.” He replied.“Is everything alright?” Kate sounded worried. “Yup, just have your breakfast. I also wanna show you something. I’m sure you’ll love it.” Ryan said, cleaning food around her lips. Kate nodded and did her breakfast.Once they were done, Ryan held her hand and moved along the beach somewhere.“Anna,” he exclaimed, walking ahead.“Hmm,” Kate spoke, glancing at their interwind hands.“I always call you Anna, but you never asked me why. Why do I call you with this name instead of your name?” Ryan thought about telling her ever
With a passionate kiss, Ryan scooped her up and headed towards the room he had reserved. Reaching inside the room, he threw Kate on the bed and removed his suit coat. Love and lust filled his eyes. Kate’s heart pondered in her rib cage. Ryan loosened the tie around his neck and pulled Kate towards him. She came to him like a leaf falling from a tree with a gust of air. Ryan bent to her face and pulled her again into a fierce kiss. Kate moved her hands into his hair and pulled him towards her more. Both were kissing each other like a hungry beast full of love and lust.Soon, Ryan left her lips and kissed her neck. He pulled the straps of her dress down and started kissing her neck passionately. Katelyn clenched the sheets tightly because Ryan’s lips were doing some magic.She didn’t know her body could react like this. Kate experienced this type of pleasure for the first time and now her body wanted it more. She arched back and gave Ryan full excess to her body. Ryan smirked against h
Suddenly, a candle turned on. There she saw the face of Ryan lighting the candle on the table.Her mood lightened within seconds. She smiled and walked towards him.“I hope you reached here safely,” Ryan remarked, pulling a chair for her. “Thank you,” Kate exclaimed, taking a seat.“I’m good, but you know I got scared for a second.” “Nothing will happen to you. I promise,” Ryan spoke, leaning on her ear. His voice was soft and full of love.Kate felt his hot breath. Her heart skipped a beat, but she managed to not show him. She didn’t want to lose herself so soon because the night had just started.“I know,” she simply said. Ryan pursed his lips and moved towards his chair and settled on it.“How is the place? Do you like it?” Ryan asked.Kate looked around the place. She could see a pool beside their table and candles all around. The moon brightened, and it gave her a soothing environment.“Under the moonlight, a candlelight dinner. Great choice, but what are your intentions?” She
At yacht,After clearing the formalities with the yacht crew, Ryan went to the second portion, and found Katelyn without effort.Kate was standing along the handrail of the yacht, engrossed in the sight that she didn't even notice his presence. Ryan cleared his throat to have her attention. Luckily, Katelyn noticed him but didn't look at him. "What are you thinking?" Ryan asked, following her gaze to the crystal blue water."How deep would the sea be?" She inhaled a puff of fresh air."I wish I can swim to enjoy the view from the depth." Katelyn glanced at Ryan, and he was gazing at her face."Anyhow, leave it." Kate smiled and veered around. Her gaze fell to the people before them. Ryan looked at the water, and for a second, he thought about the adventure they could have if they jumped in the sea, but soon he shuddered his thoughts off.Both turned their gaze at the couples in front of them.Music was playing in the background, everyone was on each other, and a few men held women
