Second Chance: The Return Of Ariana Chapter 62
ArianaI shouldn’t feel bad for him. That was exactly what I thought to myself but, I found myself feeling bad over and over again. Now, I was beginning to feel like a villain after sending that kind of message to him. How would he feel?The thought ran through my head over and over, but the sick feeling in my stomach wouldn’t go away.I was fucked!Zayde had stood on that stage, frozen and humiliated. He was completely lost in front of hundreds of people. And the worst part? I saw the exact moment he lost his confidence. That was the second his gaze locked onto Gabriel and me when our lips were pressed together in a kiss neither of us should have shared at that point in time. I clenched my fists, hating myself for caring too much for a man who was meant to be in hell burning. This wasn’t my problem anymore. Zayde and I had a past, but that was all it was…a past. It should remain so. That was what I thought to myself and yet, seeing him like that, so completely shattered, did s

Gabriel’s POVI could bet a million dollars that Ariana was mine. She had always been mine but now, I was beginning to doubt certain things. I had no idea what was going on anymore. That thought burned in my mind as I watched Ariana, the woman I had loved for years, slip further into the grasp of a man who didn’t deserve her.Zayde.I hated that name. I hated the way he looked at her. I hated the history they shared and both had together. Most of all, I hated that even after everything, she still felt a certain way towards him. Ariana wasn’t as cold to him as she wanted to be.I saw it and that only made me more determined.Right now, Ariana was standing by the balcony of my penthouse. She looked so lost in thoughts and all that hit me was that she was thinking about him. I just concluded even though I could read her mind. I stepped closer, pressing my hands against the railing beside hers, careful not to touch her."You have been quiet all night. What's going on with you? Remem

Isabella’s POV Men are so predictable. Even the smartest ones think they have control over everything. Sometimes, I'm amazed at how smart I was. It makes me feel so good and I usually feel that I don't give myself much credit. Can't you see? The ideas, the plans! Everything. It all comes from me. I sipped my wine, watching the scene unfold like a perfectly scripted drama. It was just exactly how I had planned it. Gabriel was trying to follow Ariana around and she kept yelling at him. That immediately got my attention and I tried to find out why she was behaving that way towards him. I thought she loved him. I thought she had sworn to be with him instead of Zayde who was crazy about her. So why were they avoiding causing a scene? I couldn't tell yet and I had to watch them with keen interest. My eyes darted to Zayde who was somewhere close by. oh, Zayde looked ready to rip someone apart. This was good. I guess I had to grab popcorn and watch them. The tension could b

Zayde’s POVAriana had since adjusted to the weird stares from people and she didn't seem to care. Meetings? You will find her there but with Gabriel. Conferences? She was also there. Events? She was there too. And the worst part was that she never came alone. I was beginning to think that Gabriel was the one trying to protect her from the ugly murmurs of people. After this particular conference that was held in a private estate, I sent my personal assistant to meet with Ariana. I told her to plead with Ariana to meet with me. At first, I was very sure she would decline my request and I was shaking where I was seated. I really hope no one saw me shaking vehemently. I couldn't control myself any longer. I bit my lips for a long time as I waited for her to come. After some minutes, she walked towards me with my personal assistant trailing beside me. I signalled my personal assistant to leave so that I could talk to her personally. “Uhm…Miss Ariana. It's been a long time since we

Ariana’s POVAs if what happened when Zayde was there, wasn't enough. Gabriel seemed not to take my words for it. Immediately I got home that day, u switched off my phone and booked a spa session to cool off my head. It was a very terrible thing to be stuck between two men who were fighting for you. Now, I didn't want that in my life. I wanted to be free from this and they were not making things easy for me. I didn't mention that Zayde's mother called me, threatening me with everything she could threaten me with. Just because she found out I had a child for Gabriel. I saw no reason for her anger because they all treated me badly. Why then was she projecting her anger on me? Out of anger, I yelled at her not to call me again and that was the first time I was standing up to her like that. Now, all these were coming back to my memory because I was seated in this important conference where well known media were fully represented. I had been attending a lot of functions lately simp

Zayde’s POVIf you’re going to take down a man like Gabriel, you don’t just attack. You make sure you think properly before attacking.That was the exact thing I thought about when I leaned back in my chair. My fingers tapped against the polished desk. I had paid an ex-reporter to get me the news that I needed. "You always had a flair for being so dramatic, Zayde," he said, scribbling something on a piece of paper. "But I like it. It's for the good.”I didn’t respond to that yet. Was that necessary?My mind is running in a hundred different directions. Gabriel had made his move. He thought he could publicly claim Ariana like she was some prize he won in a game neither of us agreed to play.He was wrong.I was about to make sure of that.I reached into the folder beside me and slid a document across the table. "I want to teach Gabriel a lesson. He has been getting on my nerves lately and I'm trying to find out the area he fucked up. If possible, I want him to be kidnapped,” I infor

Isabella’s POVI was able to make sure that Zayde was still very much afraid of me and it was. It was quite easy. Everything’s going exactly as planned.I leaned back against the chair, the cold surface of the phone in my hand, feeling a wicked satisfaction wash over me. The video I wanted to use was out now. I had sent it to the media, knowing exactly how it would spread like wildfire, destroying Zayde’s reputation further. I didn't give a damn about anything whatsoever. I was going to take him down. That was what mattered to me. He thought he could escape the consequences, but no one ever escapes me.Not Zayde, not Gabriel, and certainly not Ariana.The video had been recorded months ago, when Zayde and I were... well, less than friendly. The moment I saw it, I knew it had the potential to bring him down completely so I had already kept it with me ever since. Zayde had always been careful about his image, always playing the role of the untouchable, perfect CEO. But that was

Ariana’s POV“I never thought it would come to this. I thought I had everything under control,” that was what boomed in my head, distracting me from everything. I kept staring at the anonymous message on my phone screen. It was strange to look at and the more I looked at it, the more fear settled within me. Now, I had believed that everything I had now was crumbling around me. The message had come out of nowhere, and there was no way to trace the source. But it hit me so hard in the right place. "Gabriel isn’t who you think he is. His love for you is all part of a game. He doesn’t even care about you the way you think he does. He’s just using you like he always uses everyone else. Ask yourself why you are with him when you know how he really is.”I read it over and over, hoping for some kind of sense to emerge, something that would convince me to dismiss it as a lie.But the more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t ignore the nagging feeling in my gut that something was not ri

Zayde "You think you have me cornered, Isabella? Oh, I see. You want me to plead with you so that you would feed your ego. Have you forgotten that I'm a man and I would do no such thing?” I asked Isabella and she never saw that coming. Oh dear! The look on her face was so funny that it made my heart glad. I wish I could see more of this. I forced a smirk to appear on my face as I moved my head. I kept staring at the woman in front of me. I hated one thing about her. She was too confident in her abilities. That was why she thought she could harm someone and go scout free but I was not going to allow that to happen with me. I would make sure that the wicked smirk on her lips and the amusement in her eyes disappear. She thought she had won but I was only getting started with this. I hated her. I hated that she had the upper hand but more than anything, I hated that she wasn’t entirely wrong. "Oh, but I know I do," she finally said, clapping her hand together and making me mo
