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

    A long time passed and Alex was still struggling to figure out a response to give Ariana as they both gazed at each other relentlessly. God. She was making this difficult for him. 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." She said with a soft expression and he nodded his head." You know you do not have to be so uptight with me." He said and she blinked be

    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

    The attitude he was pulling off right now was throwing Ariana out of balance and she didn't like it one bit. She felt so infuriated. What is his problem? Why would he assume that she was already so close to him the moment she had a few conversations with him and decided to take advantage of it this much? She was about to react but then she reasoned that he might be doing this just to help her get rid of Fiona or something. But why would he do that? It's not like he knows Fiona from anywhere. She finally decided to go against her wishes and play along with him... just this once.She slowly turned her head and stared at Fiona who had a shocking expression on her face as she looked from Ariana back to the young man before her. 'Well, this is just so obvious that I might be mistaken here. This might not be the Ariana that I know. But how possible can it be?' She shook her head briskly. 'No. It is not possible. She might pretend all she wants but it is so obvious that she is still the same

    The moment Fiona was finally gone from view, Ariana kept gazing at the Alex fellow before her wondering desperately what his true intentions might be. He smiled at her and shook his head. "You do not have to overthink it's okay. I was just trying to help you. According to what Clara told me, it seems like you and this lady do not have much of a good history together. So I was just trying to help a friend." He said she smiled before shaking her head." I am not blaming you for anything. I appreciate your help. But you seriously couldn't think of any other way to do it?" She asked and he smirked." I couldn't waste the opportunity to get a little bit close to you and at least claim you as mine, even if it's just for a few seconds. " He said with a smirk and Ariana couldn't help the blush that crept up her cheeks.' God damn it. He is so good. ' She thought and rolled her eyes before looking away. "Yeah. Nice try." She said and he laughed. He couldn't just help it. He was already going

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.

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.
