It didn't take too long before Ariana and Clara finally arrived at the school's building. They stopped and immediately got down from the car with both of them quiet due to the heated discussion they had in the car on the way to the school.

Clara had been trying everything she could to coax Ariana into talking out what happened back at the restaurant restroom but Ariana had kept herself determined not to say anything so it left Clara in the dark as she kept on pondering to herself while they walked towards the entrance of the school.

'I am not going to give up on this. ' She kept on thinking to herself. 'I don't know why Ariana is just so determined not to have anything to do with Alex but I am going to ensure that my plan works out anyway. Or maybe I should just give her a little time? ' She thought for a while as she bit her lip, glancing at Ariana's back as they made their way into the building.

Ariana followed in through the receptionist's entrance and then came to a halt when s

    Emily stood before her dad and began to pat his legs, diverting his attention from Ariana. "Oh, my baby. " He said softly before scooping her into his arms. " How was your day? " He asked and began to plant childish little kisses against her face making her giggle in his arms. The moment she was settled and he was about to head towards his car he stopped in his tracks and looked back at Ariana and her child with a lot of worry on his face. "My God. Please no. Don't let it be what I think it is. I will not be comfortable if I ever figure this out. This is just going to be so freaking hard and crazy. Like what the hell?' Ariana held Liam's arm firmly and led him towards the entrance of the school building trying as much as she could not to pay too much attention to Alex and his daughter who were also about to leave. She was in such a hurry that she didn't notice the fellow who was approaching her. He looked a little bit suspicious but his actions and his movements were not noticed by

    Clara looked ahead of her and shrugged at Ariana's words. "Well, you can't blame him. He is the CEO and he can head to wherever he wants. I am guessing he did all this and orchestrated it on purpose just to get to you so you won't be able to escape him like his plan will always be." She said and Ariana nodded her head softly and she folded her arms with a lot of thoughts running through her mind. "Yeah. I guess you're right. But my goodness it is just so infuriating. I wish I could figure out a very quick way to just get rid of him once and for all. I hate him so much I just want to kill him." She said and Clara found herself squinting her eyelids at her." Well I've always known you've been so furious with him but what I am looking at here right now is extreme and I've never seen this on you. Did he do anything recently to make you this much more angry with him?" She asked and Ariana looked ahead of her avoiding her gaze. "Well. Nothing of the sort. It's just that whenever I keep o

I was just checking through something I wasn't laughing at you Just forget about that and forget it happened." He said softly. "Concerning your question. I am still trailing her and from what I have observed. It appears that we have another spy against her." He said and Alex frowned in his position as he clenched his fists tightly. "What did you just say? " He asked and Drake sighed deeply before rubbing his temples." It's going to be a delicate situation. I think there's someone else spying on her and from what I've seen so far The person might be going after her towards her apartment. " He said and Vincent abruptly stood up from his position in his seat. "Then what the heck are you waiting for? I want you to call the cops immediately and go after that person right now. Text me the address to the apartment and I'm coming along." He said and immediately ended th

    The tension was so high in the air that both of them couldn't focus on anything else. Their attention just remained on the entity they were expecting to do something murderous so that they could both strike and then know the next phase of the plan to take concerning whatever shit he may be planning. His suspicion was just too much. "What the hell does he even want?" This question kept on ringing endlessly in Ariana's mind as they both remained still, watching the scene before them. Ariana had to pretend a little bit as she turned slightly towards the shop as though she was planning to get something juicy for Liam. Clara remained in her position, standing by the car and then, pretentiously adjusting the side-view mirror. Ariana took a deep breath and they both watched calmly as the man slowly crossed them as though he had no intentions in his mind. Clara immediately heaved a sigh of relief. She stopped in her tracks and then slowly turned around to look at Ariana. Ariana rolled her e

    The anger in Alex's eyes was so visible. He was so enraged and he couldn't control himself. He felt so furious in so many ways like he had never felt before in his entire life. He just couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing now. It was so obvious that this wasn't normal. and the fellow he was currently trailing had a lot of evil plans stuck up in his thinking faculty. He, however, still managed to keep his cool and calm down so he wouldn't show how furious he was to his baby girl who was still beside him, lost in her world of nursery rhymes with the children's headset blocking her ears. He looked ahead of him with anger in his eyes, glaring at the fellow who was still relentlessly trailing after Ariana's vehicle and then he took a deep breath, 'You need to calm down,' he said softly to himself, 'Calm down Alex, it might not be what you are thinking and everything might… be okay.

    He took a deep breath and tried to relax in his position to gather his thoughts before starting his vehicle to head home. But the drama hadn't ended yet and was just beginning. This was something he didn't know. He took hold of the key holder and was about to rev the engine when a sight by the side view mirror of his car caught his attention and he raised an eyebrow. "Why the hell does that car look just so familiar?" he muttered to himself as he squinted his eyelids.He squinted his eyes and racked his brain for where he could have seen such. He thought for a very, very long while but the idea wasn't getting to him anytime soon. He kept on squinting his eyelids as he gazed endlessly at his side view mirror, trying to think fast and figure this out but, yet, he couldn't. He then removed his hand from his engine, relaxed back in his seat, and immediately wound up his window to obstruct whosoever was in the car from seeing him inside.He watched as a vehicle passed by him and then heade

Just what am I going to do?" he thought as he relaxed back in his seat and began to rub his chin.Vincent relaxed back in his limousine and continued to glance at the address that was being sent to him by Drake. After a very long time of impatient waiting, Drake had done his best to trail everything and had given him enough information for him to know what to do. So, he had sent Drake home to relax and was now here to assist Ariana and make sure she was okay. He had stayed back and observed the scene between Alex and the driver and was happy that he had been accosted and no one was watching her. But he had to make sure some safety protocols were observed around her house, so that was

    He continued looking at her with his cute puppy eyes. She shook her head immediately. "No, Liam. You have to do this immediately. If you can do it I am not going to bother you about anything again so please just do as I say. This is important," she said, and then he finally groaned before picking up his pencil and returning his focus to his book. "It's just so boring," he said, and then Ariana raised an eyebrow at him. "Boring huh? So what would be so interesting to you right now?" she asked, and his eyes lit up immediately. "Watching some cartoons, playing some games…" she scoffed and shook her head in her position. "Nah. I'm just going to have to cut you short right there. That is not something that can happen at this time, Liam," she said, and he frowned as he looked at her. "Why?""

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 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.
