5. SOME MEN BE CRAZY
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Rose found herself staring at the empty seats in the broadcasting room which were supposed to be occupied by her and Ariana for the interview as she relaxed against the wall with her arms folded tapping her foot against the ground.
Vincent walked closer to her and stared with a worried expression on his face. He sighed deeply and rubbed his temple. " I am so sorry Rose that things had to turn out this way. I am sorry. I didn't know this was what was going to happen. I didn't expect that she would be so stupid enough to act the way she just did. ""Well, you shouldn't have been ridiculous enough to break her heart years ago like you did. Honestly, I am not surprised she's acting like this right now. Any woman in the same condition as she is will do the same or even worse. I do not blame her. " Rose replied sharply and Vincent took a deep breath. He was done being angry and his younger sister was the last person he wanted to be furious with."I am just sorry okay. ""This is what I get for trying to help you. Because of your absurdity. Now my show is ruined. Thank you." She said and Vincent took a deep breath with his eyes shut."Okay. Okay okay. I am sorry. I am sorry this happened but I promise you I'm going to arrange another exclusive for you with her. Okay? Is that okay?" He asked and she rolled her eyes."Let's hope she will ever want to listen to you again. Thanks to your......" she paused and shook her head. She didn't even know what else to feel. She was beyond angry at what happened.Vincent looked thoughtful for a while as he relaxed back against a wall not far away from her. "Do you know what? Let's just go home so we can discuss this." He said but she turned the other way." I don't feel like it. " She replied sharply and he sighed. He looked thoughtful for a while."But this is serious. " He said making Rose turn her head to look at him slightly. 'It's shocking. Clara meant it when she said it is not the same Ariana I know. But how possible is that? I mean the Ariana I just saw is the Ariana I knew. The same eyes, the same hair, the same shape of face, the same curvy, sexy body stature, only that she was now hotter." He said with a soft loving expression on his face and Rose rolled her eyes before looking away."If you know she had such beautiful features then what made you treat her like trash when you had her five years ago? " She asked sharply and Vincent looked at her grinding his teeth. He shook his head." I was just too stupid. I was so stupid and right now I am regretting it with every fabric of my heart. I am not going to give up on her. " He said just as Rose took out her phone and briskly typed into it. "I am not going to. I am not going to let this easier on her." Vincent muttered softly and raked his fingers through his hair with frustration."Well, I will be damned," Rose said as she stared at her phone screen and Vincent looked up at her."What is it?"" With what I'm looking at right now, It appears that Clara must have been telling the truth." She said and he glared at her." that can't be possible. For that to happen it could only mean that she has a twin sister and for heaven's sake, why would the both of them be bearing the same name but different surnames? Doesn't that sound absurd in your ears? " He asked and Rose sighed."Yes you are right but with what I'm looking at right now, I just searched her up, and the picture I am looking at bears the name Ariana Swift as her original name even from the moment she was born and she has an entirely different birthday date from the Ariana you know." She said and Vincent looked at her with disbelief.He walked over to her briskly with anger in his face and snatched the phone away from her. He stared at the phone screen and beheld the picture of Ariana as the professional celebrity actress she is today. He scrolled over to where the biography was and checked it out.Ariana Swift. Born on September 7th, 1999. He frowned and folded his arms as he kept glancing through the biography. All the details about her in the biography from the beginning to the end when not that similar to what he knew about Ariana.The Ariana he knew had her birthday on the 28th of September 1999. The same year but different dates in the same month. He thought for a while and rubbed his chin.This is crazy.Her birth family was also different from the one he knew. The biography was saying, the Swifts but he only knew of the Watsons. He toyed with his lips as he clenched hard against the phone in his hands.Why the hell would she go to such lengths to change everything about her just to keep away from me? He reasoned as heavy anger flooded in his brain. Rose noticed this and immediately snatched her phone away from him. "Take it easy young man. Don't smash my phone all because of your incompetent anger. " She said and he turned to her briskly."You have no right to talk to me in that manner." He said calmly but she rolled her eyes."Whatever. it looks like you must have been in the wrong trying to harass her that way. Maybe we must have been mistaken. Anything can happen. Two people can look alike that much in this whole wide world and not be sisters. I have seen so many cases okay. Let's just brush this under the rug and find a way to get Ariana Swift to come back to my show. " She said and Vincent stared at her as though he felt like she was stupid.Why the hell would she be so dumb to accept this so quickly? He thought to himself before looking away from her and rubbing his chin."Fine fine fine. Just let me be. I'll try to find a way to get Ariana Swift on your show but I am telling you the truth, the Ariana Swift you're talking about is Ariana Watson. She can go into the depths of the media or the hell just to change her entire life or everything about her but she can't hide from me. And I'm going to ensure that this silly act of hers is going to end in no time. It is just stupid and I don't think I can take it. She is mine, and I am going to get her back no matter what tricks she pulls to hide away from me. " He said with such determination as Rose stared at him with a surprised expression on her face.Well, this is amusing and shocking. She thought to herself. If he loved and adored her like the way he is showing off right now, why the hell would he then resort to sleeping with her assistant? He didn't even care when she left him many years ago. Now look at him acting all lovey-dovey trying to get back her attention now that she has skyrocketed and become the celebrity she wanted to be. She thought and sighed before looking away from him as she shut her eyes.Some men. She thought and shook her head. They can be crazy sometimes.

After a long while of driving and swerving through the long express, Clara finally drove into LUXE HAVEN ESTATES, the second largest estate in the city that held the homes and apartments of various millionaires and celebrities. This is currently where Ariana lives and also where her child's educational center is located. They stopped right on time in front of the portico to the large school building just as the bell rang for the closure of the day and Clara grinned. "Right on time sis," she said and Ariana smirked. "I'm glad your high-end speeding skills helped us this time. " Ariana said sarcastically Clara chuckled. "Let's just get out of here and get that pretty boy of yours.

She bumped into him slightly in the process and briskly apologized to him before sprinting after Ariana. Clara caught up with her and Liam the moment they were a few meters closer to the car. Ariana turned to her immediately she caught up with them. "What took you so long? I was beginning to think you were trying to spend your night in the nursery." She said and Clara scoffed a little bit. "Yeah right yeah right. I was standing back and observing your silliness." She said and that sentence made Ariana flinch a little bit before she slowly turned to look at Clara with wonder on her face. "Jeez. That was a little harsh. What are you talking about?" She asked and Clara looked at her for a little while before signaling towards Liam. "Oh. " Ariana said and immediately let Liam into the car. Liam got in immediately and sh

Vincent frustratedly returned home with his hair looking ruffled and his clothes sagged. He walked into his apartment and shut the door a little bit loudly as he held his suit in his hands with his tie loose and hung around his shoulder. He stood for a short while and looked around the empty sitting room before shaking his head and stumbling towards one of the seats. He stopped by the largest sofa and dropped his suit against it scanning the house. The first person he was expecting to welcome him hadn't approached him yet and it made him wonder what was going on. He dropped his suitcase next to the sofa and then decided to walk towards the kitchen when a particular sight from the dining room caught his attention. He paused and reversed back the way he came before peeking through the door to notice Fiona sitting by the dinner table enjoying a meal of roasted chicken and salad. He stared at her for a short while with his lips slightly apart and then shut his eyes before taking a deep b

THE NEXT MORNING. The continuous, persistent ringing and disturbance of her phone by the bedside table greatly interrupted her sleep forcing her to groan continuously as she tried to use the pillow to block her ears but it was all to no avail. When she couldn't take it anymore, she immediately sat up and noticed the darkness around the bedroom. 'This is so early in the morning. who the hell could be called by this time? ' she thought and turned to her phone ringing and vibrating against the bedside table. She made sure Liam was gently arranged in bed without causing any sort of distraction to him before placing her feet on the floor as she sat on the bed. She picked up her phone staring at the name on the caller ID and she rolled her eyes. 'Of course.' She thought. ' who else would it be? She has no sense of pity when it comes to observing one's morning sleep. ' She thought to herself as she immediately picked up the call before yawning softly." Well hello there sister. " Clara beg

It didn't take time for Ariana to get Liam to school at the appointed time he was supposed to be there. The attendant in charge of him was waiting for him right at the receptionist's office. She smiled the moment she saw both of them and got up from her position. "Welcome to a new day at school Liam. How was your night? " She asked politely as Ariana beamed looking down at her son and Liam grinned. "It was great."" Excited for another day of learning?" She inquired and Liam's head moved up and down in response. Ariana smiled and brushed her hands through his hair lovingly. "Make sure you take care of yourself, little man." She said that squatted toward his height and adjusted his uniform softly. He grinned and lifted his index finger." I just have one more request from you, Mom." He said and she raised an eyebrow with wonder. "Spill. What could it be?" She asked and he requested for her to bring her ears closer to him. She did and he shockingly planted a soft childish kiss agains

Within a short period, Clara got to the amusement park. She swerved the vehicle and joined the rest of the cars arranged in an orderly manner in the parking lot right outside the large compound with a fence that spoke of nothing but luxury and exclusive fun. Above the gates held a very large signboard with the inscription JOY WORLD written on it and Clara's eyes gleamed the moment she saw it. "Oh, my goodness. This is the place you had in mind? Damn, I never knew you were this fun." She said softly and Alex chuckled to himself." I always make sure to pick the best place when it comes to having fun with my daughter. " He said softly and Clara chuckled. "Yeah, I guess you're right. The children need a very good place to relax their minds. I just wish someone is going to learn to live that kind of lifestyle." She said as she peered through the rearview mirror staring at Ariana who was giving her a hard glare. She flinched a little bit and covered her mouth as she giggled. "Let us get

She wasn't flinching. Her eyes weren't blinking. The boldness she was exuding from her sweet beautiful frame had thrown him Into a state of confusion. He couldn't even remember what her question was for a few minutes. But he later recollected and chuckled before raking his fingers through his hair. "It's nothing much actually. I just think you're so beautiful." 'Too beautiful that you could kill a man with your eyes.' He thought. she looked at him as a soft smile explored her lips and he heaved a heavy side of relief. 'Oh my God. I can't believe I thought a little compliment would make her angry. ' She chuckled and looked away from him." Thanks. I get that quite a lot."

This sort of act took Fiona off guard as she observed the stunning pretty Ariana before her. She wasn't expecting this. She had thought and foreseen that Ariana would have been bothered at the sight of her or something. She was anticipating to see that look of shame and devastation on her face. She wanted to flash all the glory and wealth she had gotten from being married to Vincent right in front of her face to make her feel so infuriated. But the act she was playing before her was like a stone against her forehead. 'How dare she act like she doesn't know me? What is she feeling like right now? ' She thought to herself and clenched her fists. 'She is crazy to behave this way. I don't get her honestly.' She thought and slowly walked up towards Ariana glaring hard at her."You can pretend all you like Ariana. But you clearly cannot deny the fact that you are angry and pained all because I took Vincent away from you. I can see it must have been so hard for you to recover from that heart

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?"

He must have noticed my expression because he chuckles and then shakes his head before gazing down at the ground."I know this must be so hard for you to process because, well, anyone listening to this will think it's a very, very dumb idea, but I can assure you that it's the best thing to do.

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.

Ariana's POVHeavens know that I have never been in such heavy turmoil as the one I am right now. The confusion in my senses is extreme. I am not in my right senses as I scratch my fingers endlessly against my hair pacing about the sitting room with Clara following me every step I go to ensure that I don’t delve into the very deep pits of madness. Vincent is not around now, but well, I can’t blame him for not being here. He is just as troubled as I am. He had followed the officers with their investigation to make sure that things didn’t relent and they got to the bottom of this. I know he is going to do everything within his power to ensure that this goes well, even neglecting his own business, but, I can’t help a very strange dark feeling within me that tells me that this is only just the beginning, that this is just a tip of the iceberg and far worse things are about to come.

Vincent’s POVThe confusion and the frustration in my mind is beyond what I can comprehend. I am now relaxed back in my office, rubbing my palm through my forehead with a lot of thoughts racing through my mind. Ariana.She is the only person I can think of right now. I had thought that this method of trying to rescue her from her problems would have gotten her to soften towards me. But if not anything, she has gotten worse. I don’t know, I was hoping that maybe her feelings would be rekindled by the extreme sex experience we’ve been having. But she keeps distancing herself away from me even more. I don’t get it.

THE BILLIONAIRE'S REGRET 142. This Is A Joke
Ariana's POVWithin a few minutes, I am back home to see Clara pacing up and down in the living room, looking as though the entire world has descended upon her. I took a deep breath and shut the door quite loudly to grab her attention because it seemed like she didn't notice me stepping in. 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. I chuckle and step into the living room, dropping my bag against the sofa. "Never you ever scare me like that," she says loudly and I raise an eyebrow at her." I'm sorry, I had to. 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.
