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
He looked ahead of him. "But I can't let this go. I can't let this go when I know that this bastard already has access in and it's probably on his way towards her apartment to do only God knows what. I can't let him get to her. But what do I do? I honestly sincerely do not have any assets in this estate. 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?"" Because it is already way past your bedtime and you are stretching and prolonging the time by taking time on this little assignment that I know you can do within a few minutes. Just speed it up an
She continued to shake her hair, trying to strengthen her resolve and not give in to his silly childishness. But she was feeling frustrated and annoyed. "God, I can't help it," she thought to herself as she finally slapped her face with her palm. "Oh god damn it," she muttered and then looked up at him. "Liam," she called, and he stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned around to look at her with his puppy-dog eyes, and then she choked out, "Fine. I'll give you 30 minutes. Go and watch whatever you want to watch and then sleep immediately. I'm going to come to your room to check up on you. If you're still up by noon, you're not going to like what's going to happen to you."She said in a very sharp, commanding tone, but it seemed like he didn't care as he kept staring at her with excitement in his eyes. He nodded his head briskly and then smiled at her. "Yes. Sure. I promise you I'm going to sleep as early as possible, Mom. The episode is just 30 minutes anyway, so it's not going to tak
He chuckled softly and shook his head. "Well. All that has been heard and I will attend to that as soon as I have settled the issue at hand. I will need you to open your door for me," he replied, and those words made her heart pump so hard in her chest it felt as though her chest was about to explode. "Shit." She turned her head briefly towards the sitting room and glanced at the entrance door. "Oh, don't tell me he is right there. I'm just going to hit myself," she thought as she glanced at the door with wide eyes. "Where are you?" she asked, and he chuckled. "I am right at the entrance to your apartment," he replied, and then her eyes went wide. "What do you want with me, Vincent?" she asked with frustration, feeling her eyes almost welling up with tears. She shook her head briefly. "God no. No. No fucking way. I don't want to encounter him again. What is he doing at my apartment and how did he locate where I live? How did he even get access through the security?" All these ques
"I can assure you that I'm not spying on you, Ariana. I'm just trying to ensure that your domain is safe since I have observed that some group of people are presently after you for reasons unknown to me," he said.Ariana scoffed as she shook her head. "You know I'm disappointed in you," she replied, and he looked at her with a shocked expression. "To think that you would just—you would stoop so low just to achieve your stupid vile schemes and get to me. This is just stupid, and I'm so indecent. Just give up on this. It does not even make sense at all. What sort of scheme is this? Give it up for heaven's sake. You have gotten what you wanted. What more do you want? You have wrecked my life. You have made me useless and I have no worth or usefulness. The only thing keeping me going is my passion, which I am currently succeeding at. Why don't you just leave my life alone? Leave my life alone, please," she kept on saying, gradually losing control of her emotions as slight tears dripped do
ARIANA'S POVI finally gave up when I couldn't contain how weak I was and stepped back before finally slumping back against the longest sofa. I gripped my chest, panting hard, trying to catch my breath. I never expected this to happen. I took my actions too far. I mean, I was so furious, but what I am feeling right now is just extreme. I feel like I'm about to explode. I feel like I'm about to combust. I'm glad I did it anyway. I didn't give him any chance to do whatever he wanted to carry out. He seemed a little too suspicious, and there was no way I could believe him. How the hell would he just walk into my apartment with bodyguards and begin to tell me that he's trying to assess the entire place and make sure everything is safe? What the hell did he mean by that? I don't even want to think about it. I am so done and tired of him. Just like I have planned, my mind is made up, and I am never returning to his life. He's the worst piece of shit one can ever encounter, and I don't want
ARIANA'S POVI sighed and continued to run after him. Why the living hell doesn't he listen for once? I stopped halfway through the staircase and then leaned against the handrail before slapping my palm against my face. "Oh, my goodness. What the hell am I going to do with him?" I was about to continue making my way toward his room when the front door swung open and slammed shut as though someone stepped in. "Ariana," I heard Clara's voice and my eyes went wide as a soft smile embraced my face. "Oh, my goodness. The joy I am feeling right now about my best friend's arrival. I couldn't contain it. " I thought, before slowly turning around to face Clara and then walking back down without caring if Liam had gone to sleep or not. "That's his business. If he doesn't go to sleep, I'm going to give him a very good caning tomorrow. And I fucking mean it." I then walked down quickly now, a little bit dizzy, and I headed into the sitting room to see Clara dropping a bundle of bags against t
