The fury eroding her senses was too much for her to bear, as she folded her arms with Clara beside her, glaring at Vincent, a few meters away from them, seated at his table.

"Okay, well, I don't think I can take any of this anymore. I'm just going to ignore this. I never saw him." she said, and then tapped Clara for them to leave, but it was already too late.

" Ariana, baby?" Vincent called her name so loud, it was so obvious that he was trying to get everyone in the restaurant to know that she was there and that he was calling her.

It didn't take long before whispers started moving around between the customers of the restaurant.

"Oh my goodness, it's the two most popular celebrities in this city. "

"How the hell did they get acquainted with each other?"

"I thought Ariana had a fiance."

These gossips began to pass around as briskly as ever, and Ariana grounded her teeth.

"Why don't you come over and join me? It's a pleasure seeing you, I have missed you so bad " Vincent said aloud

    Vincent kept on staring at her, observing how his words were affecting her, and it emboldened him to continue in his quest to make her reveal whatever secrets she might be trying to keep away.' I'm not going to stop until I make sure she breaks and finally comes out clean,' he thought with determination in his mind as the waitress slowly approached the both of them her face brightened so much, one could tell that she was extremely happy with the situation before her. She smiled at both of them with glee as she brought out her notepad, "so what can I serve the two unexpected guests at our most prestigious restaurant?" She asked most respectably as Ariana then turned to Vincent. Vincent relaxed in his position and placed his hands on his chin, "why are you looking at me? Take your order, I am going to take whatever you take." He said, trying to act so nicely and sweet that it made everyone in the restaurant look at the both of them adorably."my goodness, they make such a very great,

    Arianna relaxed in her position as she took her time trying to analyze the question Vincent had just thrown at her with her arms folded as she gazed at him with a smile. 'He's such a real smartass, I can see that.' She thought and kept on smiling as she stared at him. Then she bit her lip and looked at him, before taking in a deep breath." Well, what can I say? The only few things I can remember right now that I know I did are, I thought about what I wanted, and I prepared my plans, and then I struggled, and boom, here I am," she said with a smile and Vincent raised an eyebrow, scrutinizing her deeply." Oh, is that so? I find that extremely hard to believe. I actually can't believe you just did all that and then got to where you are without any ups and downs, if you know what I mean. What I want to hear from you is the full details of your story from beginning to end. I want to hear everything, even the tiniest bits, the trials you went through from the beginning, and what motivated

    The unspoken tension going on between the two of them didn't go unnoticed by the other customers in the restaurant as everyone kept on watching them with keen interest. A few had already brought out their phones getting ready to take pictures or capture a few shots in case anything practically hot or sweet happened between them. "Honestly, I don't know why my mind is telling me this but I have a deep sense of feeling within me that these two have met before and there must be some history between them." Someone said as his fellow table partners nodded with him in agreement, "Something is going on between these two." With a jolt, Ariana finally realized the extent of how she had been staring at him, and then she bit down hard on her lip as a punishment to herself. 'What the fuck is my problem? Now I have given him a sense of reason with this attitude of mine that I might at least have some feelings for him. Oh shit, why am I this stupid?' She thought to herself and briskly looked awa

    Her moans in his ears were giving him so much joy. They were trilling him to the core and empowering him to continue with his relentless pursuit. He kept on grinding himself against her, and she groaned as he felt his strong erection pushing hard against her sex in the process through their clothing. "Oh my God, you have gotten much hotter than the last time," he said softly and seductively in her ears, hoping that she would release a little word that would break her defense and force her to reveal what he wanted to hear from her. Ariana, on the other hand, found herself struggling and fighting within her to recover her senses. She clenched hard against his suit and shut her eyes as an unwavering determination began to force its way through her.' No, no, I can't keep up with this. I definitely can't,' she thought in her mind as she then looked up at him and began to struggle to break free from him. But he was so relentless, that he pinned her harder against the wall and then lifted

    Vincent looked at Ariana with shock in his eyes as she gave him a hard glare, staring at him threateningly." This will be the last time you will ever touch me like this ever again. The fact that you are so good at seducing women doesn't mean you should try that on me. I am warning you, I don't like being taken advantage of just because I am so sensitive." She said with anger, evident in her voice, as Vincent stared at her with shock on her face. 'Well, well, well,' he thought to himself, 'it looks like she must be a super-talented actress because this act she is keeping up to this very extent is direct proof of it.' He thought to himself and clenched his fists with anger. 'But why is she so determined with this?' He thought to himself and then walked closer to her. Ariana stepped back and held her hands up at him. "I am warning you, I have told you you need to quit this." She said threateningly but he shook his head with determination in his eyes." And what makes you think I will j

    Clara found herself in a very tough position as she discovered 5 minutes ago that Ariana and Vincent were taking too long to return from the restroom after she had observed the both of them walk away with the heated tension they had been throwing back and forth towards each other for a very long time now. She bit her lip and clenched her fists at her table with her food untouched as she kept on glancing in the direction of the restaurant. 'Should I go in there after them? ' She thought to herself. 'Vincent is definitely up to something stupid for him to have followed her. I don't want him taking advantage of her and doing anything crazy but at the same time, I don't know if Ariana would be happy for me to step in like that. Would it be a great idea? ' She thought to herself and then frowned. 'What the hell am I even thinking? I should go in there and do what I'm supposed to do. I know that Vincent is giving her a tough time and he would do something nasty." She thought and then looked

    Inquisitiveness as never before overtook Clara as she watched Ariana walk away with wide smiles on her face as though she had accomplished the biggest feat in the world. She glanced back at the door to the restroom where she just left and then frowned before turning back to Ariana. 'She has a lot to explain to me today,' she thought before walking up to her, quickening her pace. Ariana got back into the restaurant and the eyes of all the other customers turned to her as they wondered what was going on. Clara followed closely behind and they raised an eyebrow."Has she finally succeeded in ruining their coming together?" Someone whispered to his seatmates and all of them began to glare at Clara with an angry stare. Ariana noticed this and frowned a little bit before turning to Clara. 'Why is everyone staring at her like that?' She thought before picking up her purse and turning to Clara. "Let's go, " she said, and then Clara nodded as she also picked up her purse.

    Immediately after that incident with Ariana, Vincent found himself leaning against the wall, with millions of thoughts rumbling through his mind. He chuckled and shook his head as he gazed at the ceiling, as though there were a lot of words imprinted on it.' My goodness,' he thought to himself, as he kept on looking at the ceiling, with a bright smile on his face. 'She is so damn good,' he thought to himself. 'She is freaking good, I would grant her that.' He then took a deep breath.' I can't believe she is so persistent in this. Does she take me to be a fool? What exactly is she hoping to accomplish with this? The fact that Clara is even going along with her and encouraging her with it is making me so infuriated all the more. What is she expecting to gain out of this? Just what?' He thought to himself and then rubbed his chin furiously. He then moved away from the wall with frustration and raked his fingers through his hair. The image of her entire frame was tormenting him incredi

    Vincent's POVBang!!!!!The very loud, powerful, vibrating sound of a gunshot echoes loudly in my ears, almost making my ear drums blackout as I immediately sit up on the ground, placing my hand against my ear. That was so freaking loud. It felt as if my eardrums were about to explode. Who the hell had to guts to do that? I manage to lift my head and look at my surroundings while still placing my hand against my ear as if it could reduce the pain I am feeling. The images around me are a little bit blurry, and this makes me squint my eyelids for a little while, trying to process what I am looking at. "Welcome back to the land of the living Mr Vincent." A voice speaks up, and after a few minutes, the images are now a little bit clearer directly in front of me. The first image I see makes me frown immediately as I raise an eyebrow with shock not believing what I am looking at right now. "Flora?"

She says, but then I turn my face to look at her and watch as she immediately shuts her mouth, gazing at the ground."I am sorry. I shouldn't have said that" she replies immediately, and I can tell she is feeling extreme guilt for actually losing Liam when he was directly under her watch. But the Lord knows I can't blame her.

She jolts and almost loses her footing the moment she hears that as she looks at me, stepping in with wide eyes. Okay, her reaction right now is frightening me because I have never seen Clara look this frightened or paranoid to this extent in my life before.

You look like you were lost in the world for a while so I felt like bringing back your attention." I say and watch as she chuckles nervously as if... Okay, that laugh looked kind of forced. She didn't have the intention to laugh. Something is wrong with her.
