Arriana almost couldn’t sleep because Axel couldn’t be contacted. She even cried because the young man might not want her anymore. “Dad, can I get my stuff from the apartment first?” Arriana asked her father for permission. They have returned to their house, and she has not been able to go to school. “Why bother? You had a lot of stuff here.” Arriana quickly shut her mouth when she heard what her brother said. “Your sister is referring to her school supplies, Adrian,” Travis explained. “Then ask the driver to bring them for her. Why does she need to go there and take them by herself?” Adrian arrogantly answered his father.“Leave us alone,” Travis spoke calmly to Arriana. Arriana reluctantly turned on her heel, and left the two. She was worried that they might get heated again. Their mother was not there yet, and left with her Aunt Cheska. Travis stood up when he and Adrian were the only ones left in the library. “I’m not leaving your sister left behind by that man if that’s wh
Suddenly, the classroom became quiet when Arriana approached Ann and Joy. Ann stood up quickly and stood in front of Joy. “Move aside!” ordered Arriana to Ann. “What do you need?” Ann asked flatly, and instead of moving, she did not leave from where she stood. “I don’t need anything from you, so get out of the way!” she said firmly and pushed Ann by the shoulder away. “You bitch!” Joy stood up angrily when she saw Ann trembling and almost falling down. “You’re courageous! Who are you proud of here at the university? Is it the professor, your lover?”Those who were there made noise again, and were surprised by their new discovery. Everyone is curious as to who Joy is referring to.“You know what, you’d be beautiful if you were not just stupid and judgmental.” Arriana insulted the woman. “What did you say?” Joy angrily pushed Arriana on the shoulder. “You became deaf too?” She kept teasing Joy. “Take back what you said!” “Take back your bad accusations you said against me!” she
“Are you sure you won’t come with me?” Joseph asked Axel as they walked out of the airport. “No, I have something important to go through. Please, just tell Mr. Travis that I will schedule our next meeting.”“Looks like you’re meeting a more important person than Mr. Chairman?” Joseph asked teasingly. “Yes,” said Axel, and increased each step to get further. But when he came out of the exit, there were people blocking his path. “Chairman seems to have guessed your plan,” said Joseph, meaningfully.Axel turned to Joseph with a frown. When he smiled, he blew air out of his mouth. “Sir, this way. Mr. Chairman is waiting in the car.” Jomar even bowed in front of the young man and pointed his right hand at the elegant car parked in front.Axel quietly joined Travis’ crew. After entering the car, he greeted him formally. He was no longer wearing sunglasses, so he could clearly see his whole face. When he smiled at him, he knew what they needed to talk about. “How was your trip?”“It’s
“Argh, you’re so pesky, Older Sister Nerd!” Arriana moved the hand that held her shoulder.Axel’s eyes widened slightly upon hearing this. “Did you just call her a nerd?” Arriana lifted her head violently, then, she slightly raised her head while her mouth was open. She slowly rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn’t just squinting or dreaming.“Come on, stand up and sit properly.” Instead of following the young man, she eagerly hugged his thigh. “Hi. I miss you!” Axel sighed before sitting on the chair. He grabbed the girl by both shoulders and made her stand up. “You shouldn’t upset Rosella.”Arriana frowned and sat down next to Axel. “She’s a nerd, and she wants me to be like her. Look at these books!” She pointed to the pile of books on the table. She was being punished yesterday. “Because you did wrong.” Arriana’s face aura suddenly softened, and she bit her lower lip. She was rubbing both her palms on both her thighs while thinking of an excuse for Axel. Axel sighed again a
Joy frowned when she noticed Arriana’s beautiful smile after returning to their classroom. Earlier, she just looked like Good Friday. “Girl, how was your punishment?” Jinky asked Arriana. “Not good… but I enjoyed it.” She smiled at Jinky before winking at Joy. Joy folded her arms in her seat in annoyance, and Ann was next to her, who was also not happy with what she was seeing. The exchange of their bad looks only distracted when the professor came for the last subject. Arriana did not have any difficulty with the exam. She finished early and immediately left the room. “Hey, wait for me!” Jinky called her friend, but she didn’t seem to hear her.Arriana peeked around and made sure no one saw her before turning down the hall. But before she reached Axel’s office, her cellphone rang. She immediately answered it when she saw that the caller was her brother. “I’m here outside the gate.” Arriana’s shoulders suddenly sagged and felt sad. Her brother really makes sure. And he entruste
“I’m just kidding, Mom, but if you want to have grandchildren, Axel and I can do it.”Axel was choked even more because of what the girl was saying. When he looked at his mother, she seemed to see a sinful person.“You know what, you better eat, kid, and you always seem to be starving!” Her spoon is pointed at the camera. Arriana again pouted and the young man’s mother got mad again. She was really hard to please. But she can make that joke of her. She was about to pester when the door to her room suddenly opened. “The servant has been knocking on your door for a while, and you are not answering.” Arriana scratched her head even though it didn’t itch. She was wearing earphones, so she didn’t hear anything.Renalyn stared at the camera when she saw the man enter Arriana’s room. Even though it was from the side view, she still recognized him. When she looked at her son, it was as if he didn’t care that the girl’s father could see him.“End that call and go downstairs.” “Yes, Dad, I’
Arriana is not well awake when she sees that the video call with Axel has ended. She called him but he didn’t answer. She was also worried and wondered how it could have happened, so the choice she had left at the moment was to call Joan. “He hasn’t been home since last night.” Joan was still sleepy while talking to Arriana. “What? He went out last night and hasn’t come home yet? Where did he go and who was with him?” Joan’s spirit finally woke up when the timbre of Arriana’s voice rose. “Didn’t he tell you?”“Do you think I would be asking you now if he did?” Joan frowned, and her friend turned sarcastic. “Celine is in the hospital and—”“That bitch!” she interrupted Joan’s explanation, feeling anxious.“I don’t know the reason why she is in the hospital. Don’t be angry and jealous because her condition seems serious now.”Arriana started crying even though her friend couldn’t see her. She got off bed and went to the bathroom. “When I have news, I will let you know right away.”
“Mom, why are you here just now?” Axel asked his mother when she entered the room where Celine was confined. “Did something bad happen while I was gone?” Renalyn asked her son worriedly and immediately looked at Celine, but she was asleep. “No, did you bring your cellphone?”Renalyn was stunned for a moment when she remembered her son’s order when he called with Celine’s cellphone earlier. She lost her mind and was not immediately taken there. But the cellphone was in her bag, but she didn’t bring the charger. “I’ll just charge it in the car.” Axel didn’t wait for his mother to speak again. He immediately left the room after taking the cellphone.Renalyn sighed when her son was gone. She knew that he would contact Arriana, and she was worried that the girl might tell her son that she had talked to her.Inside the car, when the cellphone turned on, Axel immediately dialed Arriana’s number. But it rang multiple times when no one answered.Arriana clenched her fist to stop herself fro
