She was done from work, after an exhausted day all she wanted to do is to soak herself in a hot tub. She had just gotten into a hotel in the city, she had chosen a random hotel because she didn’t want to handle any formalities for now. All she need was space and fresh air to breath.
Opening the door with her key card, she steeped into the room closing the door behind her, the room was painted all white. It wasn’t her usual expensive looking room but it was moderate enough for her, she began to pull off her clothes one by one, she walked into the bathroom and filled the tub with warm water, pouring the vanilla soap into the water. She watched it as it filled to the top, turning it off she stepped into the tub fully naked dipping herself in the water, a sigh of relaxation escaped her lips as the body touched the warm water. She rested her head as she enjoyed the feel of the water on her skin. The soap also smelt so good. Closing her eyes, she gently tapped her feet in the tub to make splashing sounds. Slowly and steadily, sleep began to pull her eyes. Her eyes went flying open as she heard a knock on her door, looking around her she was still in her tub, she hissed releasing she had fallen asleep in the water, she immediately stood up and climbed down the tub. Grabbing a robe from the cupboard, she wrapped it around herself and held it tightly. She ran a towel quickly through her dark hair which was still wet. The door bells kept on ringing over and over and she frowned, who the hell was trying to destroy her ear drums. She walked out of the bathroom and headed towards the living room and to the door, getting to the door she unlocked it and opened the door a little bit, letting her head to peek out to see who it was. Her jaw nearly dropped as she saw who was at her door. “You have a door hole for a reason Miss, I advice you should use it”. She heard Aiden say, he had his usual black pants and jacket on, not to forget his black shades. “Thank you for the advise”. Ariana said flashing him a smile. The man didn’t return her smile as he just stared at her. “Mmm.. is there anything you need Aiden?” Ariana asked after a while because the man was just staring at her and it was creepy. “I came to check up on you,” Aiden said his eyes still on her. “Oh thank you Aiden, I am good. Have a wonderful night”. Ariana said and she moved to close the door but it didn’t bulge, she looked down to the edge of the door and saw the man’s shoe placed between the door and the door frame. “Can I come in? I need you to give me money to fill the gas, the car is out of it”. Aiden said, his foot still in between the door stopping it from closing. “Oh that... we can just do that tomorrow. I have...”, “What if there’s an emergency and we have to leave immediately, it’s better done now than later”. Aiden said calmly interrupting her. Ariana almost cursed at this man but she held her tongue, although she had to admit he was right. Pulling her robe tighter she opened the door wider, “Come in”, she said as she walked to the sofa where she placed her bag. Aiden walked into the room as his hawk like eyes observed every inch of the room, and feel on Ariana who was checked her bag. Her hair was still damp and wet, her big white robe was wrapped tightly around her small but thick body. She almost slapped herself on the head when she remembered she heard no cash on her, she had given it to Lora earlier today, she turned to Aiden who was already sitting on the opposite sofa, this man was too comfortable at times. Ariana wondered why?. “I don’t have any cash with me now, I will call Lora to make a transfer to you now”. The man just simply nodded his eyes still on her, even though he had glasses on, Ariana could still feel his intense gaze on her. Lifting her phone she made a quick call to Lora, giving her instructions to make transfer to Aiden’s account. “Thank you Lora, I will be waiting for your call”. Ariana said and hung up placing the phone on the counter. “Do you want coffee as you wait?” Ariana asked, and again the man answered with a nod, With a sigh, she walked to the kitchen to turn on the coffee maker. Her eyes roamed the kitchen to look for the cups but she couldn’t find it on the table, she raised her eyes to the shelve and there were the cup lying neatly on the very top of the shelve. “Damn it, how am I supposed to reach there?”. She muttered under her breath, stepping on her tip toe, she stretched her hand to reach the cups but her hand was only able to get to the second shelve. “Why do people have to be so inconsiderate?” She hissed in frustration, Aiden who was flipping through the magazine on the table, lifted his head to look at her. He watched her as she struggled to reach the top shelve, the tip of his lips lifted as he heard her sigh in frustration. Her robe was now lifting upward as she stretched, exposing more of her smooth milky legs. “Almost..there”, Ariana said to herself but her body stopped still as she smelled a familiar scent hit her nose, and she knew who it was, his muscular arm extended grabbing the cups easily from the cupboard and placing them on the table, “You’re too short...see so easy” His voice vibrated in her ears and she turned around immediately to meet him so close to her, his head was tilted downwards as he looked at her face.Ariana stilled looking at the man in front of her, he was so close to her, his hands placed on the table locking her between in arms. Even with the dark glasses, Ariana could still feel his strong gaze on her, his face not holding any emotions. It was difficult to know what he was thinking or even feeling at this moment. There was something about the way this man smelt and looked that got her mesmerized, as much as she wanted to look away and yell at this man for getting in her personal space her brain didn’t just cooperate with her. Aiden just stared at her, not making any movement. Dingg!!! Ariana’s phone rang breaking the trance between them, Ariana cleared her throat as she looked away to where her phone was lying. Aiden too looked away taking steps backwards to let her move to her phone. She walked to the table and grabbed her phone placing it in her ears. “Oh, Alright. Thank you Lora have a wonderful night”. Ariana said calm even though her heart was still racing. Placi
“Hmm, I can only guess he must be filthy rich,”. April said “And what makes you think the buyer is a he? I thought you knew nothing about it”. Ariana asked. “Of course it would be a he, which normal woman buys a freaking casino. Only men make such stupid and risky decision”. April explained,” Anyways Ari, I had to go make coffee before my husband wakes up”. April added. “Look who’s doing wifey duties, oh my gosh I am so jealous”. Ariana said teasing her friend. “Whatever weirdo, have a nice day. Bye.”, “Bye”. Ariana answered before hanging up the call. Looking at the clock it was now thirty minutes past six. She heard to prepare for her visit, picking her cup and empty pack of cookies she walked to the kitchen, throwing the empty pack into the trash can, she gave her cup a little rinse and placed it back on the table. She headed to her restroom for a bath after taking all her clothes off and changing into her robe. Turning on the shower, she placed the robe on the
Ariana couldn’t believe what she had just heard ears, could it be that she had heard wrongly. Never in her life have she heard her parents say anything about marriage to her and definitely have not suggested someone for her to marry. She would have said they were trying to prank her but by the look on their faces she highly doubted that and it wasn’t even April first. She opened her mouth to speak but she couldn’t form any words, her lips just shut close as they opened. She saw the worry and sadness in her parents eyes, swallowing the big lump in her throat she decided to say something. “You are joking right? Aren’t you? Mum? Dad?”. Ariana said as she looked between her mother and father, but her father gave her little nod telling her he was serious. “We are sorry sweetheart, this is very serious. And the decision had been made already”. Martha said lowly, her voice filled sadness. The pain in Ariana’s eyes turned to anger, she felt her fists clutched tightly as she raised
A staring competition had started between Ariana and her parents. She desperately needed answers because she couldn’t understand why this strange man had decided to ask to marry her out of all things he could possibly ask for. Her mother sighed. “Alexander savage is a multi billionaire”. Martha said. “So?” Ariana raised her brow at her mother, her mother had mentioned him being a multi billionaire as if it was supposed to explain why he was suddenly interested in marrying her. “Mum what if he is a billionaire, why does he want to get married to me?” She asked. “Ariana we don’t know why, he just gave us an opinion. All we know is he is a powerful man”. Her father explained. “So tell me dad, have you met this man? What does he look like?” Ariana asked, her eyes widened as she saw her father look away. It didn’t take long for Ariana to understand why his sudden change of position. “For Christ sake dad!!!” Ariana said and then tucked in her hair hardly as she paced in the di
“I am a generous man so I will give you 24 hours to convince your daughter to marry me. Or else...I will take her by force, Goodbye in laws and have a wonderful day”. With that Alexander hung up the call pushing the phone into the back pocket of his trousers. “Tiger, What do you think you’re doing? Threatening a family for a girl, come on. This isn’t even worth your time.” Carlos said, as he walked towards the chair and sat down. “I know but I want her, she has been in my mind since I saw her, so I want her and what other way to do that than have her marry me”. Alexander said, picking up a glass of wine and taking a sip. “But man, why her? You can have any woman you want here so why all the stress, and beside we can just bring her here to you”. Carlos suggested. “I can do that but I won’t, I want her to willingly agree to me. And no I don’t want those ugly strippers. I need something new, she’s beautiful and has a nice ass. She’s a feisty and interesting woman who won’t
Again, Alexander had left them speechless. And just like Carlos, he enjoyed seeing the expression on their faces. How dare this man offer him his bitch of a daughter for marriage? Even though Alexander hadn’t seen her in a long while since she left to study abroad, he knew what she was doing. He heard news from his men over there of how she gave herself to different men of different ages and sizes just for fun, because he was a hundred percent sure she didn’t do it for money because she had loads of it to last her a lifetime. “If there’s nothing more to discuss, you can take your leave now”. He added. “You have to re consider Alex, you yourself is no different from her. You have also had a lot of women in your bed so who are you to judge her?” Lopez said as his anger was beginning to peep through. “Don’t put words in my mouth Lopez, I never judged her. I was just simply telling you my qualities in a wife. So please leave, I’m beginning to have an upset stomach just seeing
Ariana walked into the small cafe, as her eyes scanned through the place and then she finally found him. The man she was looking for,Jake. "Hey Jake". She grabbed a chair and sat down, Jake had a big coat, brown messy hair and big glasses on although Ariana guessed it was for medical purposes. "Hey Ariana, this is what you asked for". Jake pulled a large envelope from his bag and handed it over to her, Ariana collected it with shaky hands, she just hoped she won't be disappointed, she desperately prayed that her parent were mistaken about the whole situation. Taking a deep breath, she opened the envelope and pulled a white file out, her eyes scanned through the content of the file and she felt her heart shatter into a million pieces, what had gone wrong? And how did her parents get into such a huge debt? She asked herself. The total amount they were supposed to pay back were billions of dollars, and they were supposed to pay back in the next fourteen days. Who made sure a heartl
Martha and her husband had now finally decided to call Alexander after their conversation with their daughter, Martha wondered what made her daughter change her mind and agree to marry this man after she was so angry when they told her of the idea. David pulled out his phone and dialed Alexander’s number. After a ring Alexander picked up, it was as if he was waiting for David to call. “That was fast, it was as if you were waiting for our call”. David said between his teeth. “Don’t flatter yourself David, I just happened to be close to my phone when you called, and I wondered why you were calling me. So tell me,why are you calling me David?” Alexander asked with a bored tone David raised his eyes to look at his wife, and she gave his an nod, after taking a deep breath he spoke. “Ariana has agreed to marry you”. The other side of the phone went silent. “Did you hear me?” David said, after not hearing any response from the man on the other end. “I am not deaf David, I hear
