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
"I'll handle everything.""I know, but how?" "I mean, what will you say to mom?" Damien inquired of being impatient that he was. Ryan looked at him. At that exact moment, Damien's cell phone rang. He looked at the screen, and it was Evelyn. "Look, she called me again." Damien pursed his lips."Tell her you're coming home late, so she just goes to sleep." Damien nodded and picked up the call."Damien, when are you coming home?" I'm waiting for you and Ryan; Arianna also hasn't come yet. I'm worried." "Mom, let them have some fun." Perhaps they stayed the night.outside, and you'll have a grandchild." Damien winked at Ryan while he just glared at him."If this happens, then I'll be the luckiest mother in this world." Evelyn was content."Mum, don't worry." "Shortly, you'll be the grandma of beautiful kids, and I'll be the godfather." "If it's God's will, then sure, I'll be, but you come home soon.""Mum, get to sleep because I'll be late.""Alright, but come soon." Damien hummed, and
"So, how do you plan to confess to him?" Damien was more excited."Umm, let me think." Ariana thought for a while. It'd be great to arrange dinner and then confess or directly tell him. She was still thinking when Damien proposed."What about a dinner date?" "That sounds good. I was also thinking the same thing." Ariana smiled. They indeed became good friends. "Alright, then I'll arrange everything. You only have to come with Ryan." Damien notified her."But how can I take him with me? What will I say to him?" She pursed her lips. "It depends on you what you will say to him. I'll send you the address of the venue. You only have to come." "But," she attempted to say, but Damien didn't let her."No buts, you both are coming, and you're confessing. It's final. Now I'm going. I have to arrange everything." Damien stood up from the couch and strode away without listening to her. Ariana smiled over his behavior. She was in their room. Ariana thought for a second and then decided to go
Ryan moved his hands to his face and then kneeled in front of her."How can I kill you when you're mine," Ryan said, looking at her hands which had covered her face.Ariana didn't get his meaning. She exclaimed. "Please stop this torture. I married you because you wanted to marry me for some reason. Now please leave me because I can't take this fake relationship forward. I'm tired of it."Ryan pursed his lips. She was on the same thing, and that was to step out of that relationship, but how could he let her do it? Ryan held her hands and removed them from her face. She raised her eyelashes and looked at him with tears filling in her eyes. She was a goddess. How could he lose her? He would be the dumbest person in this world if he rejected her. He thought and took her hands in his. He stared into her eyes and asked."Do you think that our relationship is fake?"Ariana turned her face to the right side. She didn't want to look into those eyes, which could make her weak in a flash."Tel
A month had passed in the blink of an eye. Ryan and Ariana came closer to each other. Ryan tried to come close to her to get intimate and consummate their marriage, but Ariana stepped back each time.Last night, Ryan again tried to get intimate with her, but she rejected him. Ryan's mood became off. He strode out of the house and didn't come yet. Ariana was worried.Her changed expressions and worry were visible on her face. After lunch, she was heading toward her room when Evelyn stopped her."Aria," she spoke.But Ariana's mind was off, and she was going towards her room. Evelyn moved to her and held her by the shoulder. Ariana came to her senses. She looked at Evelyn and asked."What happened, mom?" Evelyn lowered her eyebrows at her and pouted. "I'm good, but something is missing." Ariana looked around and asked. "What is missing, mom? Tell me. I'll help you to find it." "Your smile is missing, Aria. Where are you lost?" Evelyn caressed her cheek. Ariana's eyes welled up, and s
Ariana was in a dilemma.She called Ryan again. He didn't pick up on the first call.Ariana didn't accept defeat. She dialed his number until he picked it up. He attended the call on the fifth ring."What the hell is this? I told you. I'm busy, and I'd be coming home late at night. Why are you calling me again and again?" Ryan shouted from the other side."Where are you?" She asked with a heavy heart because she could hear the sound of music from his behind."I'm in a meeting. Don't call me again. Don't mean, don't. I'll be back soon." Ryan exclaimed and ended the call. Ariana sat on the bed with a thud. She was hell-confused. Ariana didn't believe Ainsley, but now, she wanted to go and watch herself. After a lot of coming thought, she decided to go. Her heart told her thousands of times to believe Ryan and not go there. But at last, she listened to her brain.She changed into the same black dress and took her cell phone and bag.She was in a hurry, so she didn't see Damien in the lou
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
