Ariana was stiff from shock and white as snow. Pregnant? She took a morning-after pill so how could that be? If Caddaric said she was, then she’d just have to ask the doctor about the possibility and also feared the child might be deformed since she had been taking oral contraceptives, not knowing before that Caddaric would be away for two weeks.Her mind was so clouded that she didn’t hear Caddaric again till he shook her. There was worry in his eyes. The first time she had seen something like that to him.“Is the child you are carrying mine?” He asked again, this time impatiently. Ariana had to think fast. She wanted this child but what if he told her to abort it because of his betrothed? This was her love child and even if he allows her to keep it, the Blades will come for the child as soon as he or she is born and Ariana would be the loser. Caddaric would soon get married to Miranda and all she had to remind her of her love for him was this innocent seed growing inside of her.“N
“I don’t think it’s right to tell you but Dario is back and in the club,” Juliet said thoughtfully, thinking that Ariana would be enraged. Rather, her eyes lit. If she got that money, she could escape from Caddaric. She wasn’t going to let the Blades have her child and didn’t mind sacrificing her love for Caddaric. After all, she had a mini him growing inside of her.“Let’s go to the club,” she said and was about to disconnect her tubes when Juliet pressed her back on the bed and hugged her.“It’s too early. He told Chad to get him some girls and said he’d be back after taking care of some businesses.”Ariana thought carefully. Now she needs to be smart in her ways. If she got the money, she’d just wait and escape anytime Caddaric left her alone. He was a very busy man and won’t always be with her. For as long as she won his trust again, he won’t be watching her discreetly.“Then that allows me to ask the doctor the reason why I got pregnant after taking the morning-after pills. If t
Miranda was asleep when she heard the beep sound of her phone and lazily picked it up to check. Shock covered her eyes when she saw the message. Somehow, she felt embittered but couldn’t allow information like this to travel. Instantly, she responded,‘Do you have a picture of the girl?’‘Yes. Find attached,’ an instant response came through.When she saw the picture, her heart sank but she couldn’t let her friend know and sent back,‘STOP SPREADING FALSE RUMORS. She is his secretary and she might be pregnant with somebody else’s child. Cadda is too disciplined to do that and don’t let the Blades target you for spreading something like this.’‘I’ve deleted the picture and everything. Please pretend that I didn’t text you just now.’‘I’m going back to sleep.’ Miranda texted back.She should be happy if Caddaric was indeed the father of Ariana’s child but she wasn’t. If Caddaric would reject her, why not do it before sleeping with Ariana? The earlier he did, the better for her to reuni
The information Ariana received that Caddaric was going to pick her up tomorrow, did not go down well with her. If that happened, then she wouldn’t be able to escape anytime soon since he won’t allow her into the club auditorium, knowing that she was pregnant.She already knew that he won’t even allow her to continue with the job of a supervisor. She might only insist on that of a secretary since she would be in his office, right under his nose. So, the earlier she met Dario, the better and faster her escape plans.The doctor never expected her to run away from the hospital so she hadn’t informed security to watch her, which made it very easy for Ariana to escape. She went home with Juliet to shower, eat, swallow her vitamins, and dressed in a short black dress with black fishnet stockings and black high heels.Her makeup was so wild, Juliet wanted to wash it off her face, already knowing that should anything happen to Ariana, Caddaric would come to her first. With her smokey eye make
Anna was amazed by how fast Caddaric got there and even with the sword. It was less than a minute when she hung up the phone and told her men to get ready for action. Caddaric didn’t want to use a gun. Merely hearing that someone was assaulting his Ari, he had no intention to give the person a fast death. He wasn’t just angry with Dario but also with Ariana. How could she be so careless to risk her life like that? Let’s just say that she didn’t care about herself but what about her unborn child? Did the seed not mean anything to her? Caddaric was grossly disenchanted. Then again, no one knew the reason why Ariana made such a move but he did. Dario ran away with her money and still had the guts to abuse her when she asked for it. But how much was two million? Couldn’t she have asked Caddaric? Even if she didn’t want to ask him, was it worth her life and that of her unborn child? No correct word could describe the level of his anger when he turned to the man screaming on the floor.
Caddaric could feel his heart shredding with every step he took towards the couple, who hadn’t noticed him, despite people murmuring around them. A waitress passed by him with a tray full of martini. Caddaric took one, gulped it down, and dropped the glass on the tray. Without a word, he pulled Ariana to his chest and punched the guy in the face. Ariana was terrified and began to wiggle out of his arms to the man but Caddaric only held her tighter, carrying and throwing her over his shoulder. He seemed to have gone crazy because he didn’t care anymore if their relationship was made public. This pregnancy fiasco was driving him mad. “Let me go,” Ariana yelled, hitting his back with her hands and kicking her legs in the air but Caddaric ignored her plea and walked faster, everyone who saw him gave way instantly. Ariana knew she was in trouble. Now she had the money but wouldn’t be able to escape anymore since she already knew what Caddaric could do. Her heart sunk as all her struggl
Caddaric’s fingers tightened around the note, shrinking it to a dot after he had memorized the location. His teeth ground together, his jaw clenched and his blood boiled. Only one person could operate without a trace and he had the guts to not only infiltrate the club but also Caddaric’s exclusive hotel room.He was bold enough to ask for his sister in exchange. Caddaric instantly dialed a number. “Grandpa, please get someone to watch your location and come back.”Before Marshall could ask why only a beeping sound was heard. Then he dialed Anna’s number. “Please meet me in my office.”By the time Caddaric got there, Anna was already waiting for him. Seeing the scowl on his face, she guessed that something gruesome had happened.“Did you find out who messed with the CCTV?” Anna asked him. It could be the only thing to have gotten him so upset. Caddaric didn’t have proof but his instinct was strong,“It’s Invisible.”Anna felt uneasy. For years, no one has been able to track down that c
Throughout the drive to his father’s manor, Anna’s words kept ringing in Caddaric’s head. ‘I never thought you’d fall in love like your father.’ What about Miranda? He already gave her his word and it was unlike him to go back on it. But did he have it in him to make Ariana his mistress? The answer was an instant no. She deserved more than that, had his heart, and also carried his seed. Confusion was at the center of his mind with the fear of something bad happening to Ariana. It was late when he arrived at the manor but the security let him in. Being sure that everyone would be asleep he went straight to Cassandra’s room without thinking of a reasonable excuse but just as he was about to knock on her door, a deep voice sounded behind him, “what do you want here?’ Caddaric turned to meet his father’s penetrating gaze. If nothing at all, he was expecting to meet Hunter and not his dad. “I want to see Cassa,” he said indifferently. There was no panic in his tone. Casper had a gut fe
