She went out to the car park where her brand new red Lamborghini was parked, it was the gift she got from her father on her last birthday. She hopped into the car and started the engine. Not too long she was already on the high way.
She decided to buy some gifts for who she planned to go visit, a supermarket was not too far from where she was. So she made a U turn to the direction of the supermarket. In almost twenty minutes, she was already in the car pack, locking the door of her car she stepped into the supermarket, all eyes were on her as she walked to the aisle but it was actually something that was very common, for people to stare at her when she walked into public places. And at most times when she wasn’t in a good mood she sent her PA or house help to get her the things from the store. It took her just a while to be done and she was back on her way, at exactly 4:15pm she got to the hospital. Grabbing the groceries from the seat of her car she walked into the hospital elegantly, the hospital was a very big hospital in California one of the most expensive in town. And it was owned by a young man but he wasn’t in the country for now and she also met him once in a mega dinner party about a year ago, he was cool but not her type of man. “Hi, I’m very to see Mr Victor?” She asked the receptionist with a smile. “Good evening ma’am, he is in room 115, first door on the left hallway third floor” The receptionist returned her smile. “Thank you” Ariana said and walked away, Ding, the elevator opened and she walked out, turned to her left and looked at the first door, 115 was written boldly in the door. She let out a deep breath before her hand moved to the handle and slowly opened the door. It was a VIP room, her eyes roamed the room, it had two big beds inside it, one for the patient and one for the person who took care of the patient in case do emergencies. A monitor making a beeping sound was by the side for the patient bed, many wires were connected to the patient who was sleeping. A woman in her mid fifties sat by the bed as she looked at the old man on the bed, she didn’t even notice the presence of the lady that walked in. “Mrs Victor” Ariana said pulling the woman’s attention towards herself. The woman stood up and walked towards Ariana with her arms wide opened. “Ari dear, how are you doing?” Mrs victor hugged her patting her head. “I am good, how are you doing?” Ari said pulling away from the woman. “I am good, I didn’t know you were coming over” The older woman said smiling at her. “I was actually less busy at work so i didn’t to drop by, how is he doing?” Ariana asked turning her head to look at the sick man on the bed. “He is getting better, thanks to you sweetheart. You don’t know how much I am grateful for everything that you have done for us, I cannot even start to repay you” Tears filled her eyes as she talked. “Mrs Victor, it’s alright. No need for all this talks, Mr Victor has also done a lot for me and my company this is how I repay him so just let it it be and take care of your husband okay?” Ariana said rubbing the woman’s hand. “Alright sweetheart, thank you once again” Mrs Victor said with a smile and Ariana returned the smile. “Ari...” They both turned to the direction of voice, it was from the man who was lying on the bed. They both rushed to his side. “Honey,how are you feeling?” Mrs Victor said holding her husband’s hand. “I am good” He said, and his eyes moved to meet Ariana eyes who was sitting at the other side of the bed. “Ariana, how are you doing?” He asked “I am fine sir, you shouldn’t talk too much, you just came out of surgery so you should be resting now, we can always talk later” Ariana said. “Nonsense child. I am doing very well and it’s all because of you. My family and I will forever be indebted to you young lady” The old man said in a low voice. “Please sir, enough of the thank you. You should just relax and focus on your full recovery” Ariana smiled with the man. “Your right child, and how is the business going? Have we been able to close the deal?” Mr Victor asked “Mm.. well I called for a meeting with your son two days ago and sadly,we couldn’t come to an agreement” “My son? Which of them? I am guessing it’s William right?” The man asked “Yes sir it is, he was making things really difficult for us, so I just had to reschedule the meeting” Ariana said “That ungrateful child, after everything I have done for him. Is this how he decides to reply me? He couldn’t handle a simple business meeting” The old man said looking up to his wife. “Don’t say that, William is just upset about everything that happened. I am pretty sure that’s why he is behaving this way” Mrs victor tried explaining to her husband. “We will have a serious discussion when I get out of here. When is Henry coming back from his vacation?” The man said. “He said next week, hopefully he will be able to make the deal then” Mrs Victor said. Ariana raised her arm to look at the watch which was sitting beautifully on her wrist, it was 5:43pm, she had a dinner with a friend she almost forgot. “Mr Victor, Mrs Victor. I am really sorry for the short visit but I have to leave, I have an appointment to meet” She explainedAriana looked at the city from the view her window displayed right in her office. Los Angelos h very busy place it was just half past nine and everywhere was so filled with people going on with their daily businesses. And here she was again in her office like usual, every day with the same routine. She sighed, what a boring life this was. She had the money to do whatever she wanted and so she used to think it was more that enough for her but as years went by, she realized money couldn’t give her what she wanted in life. Although she had been to more than forty different countries, over a hundred 5 star hostels and restaurants in the world, and she bought the most expensive designers clothes, shoes, bag and jewelries but it wasn’t still enough. She never had a true friend until two years ago when she met April, they have been very close back then and they still were but April had gotten married some months ago and moved to a new country with her husband. At the end of t
“$10,000” Ariana’s eyes almost bulged out of its socket as she heard the figure he called. “What the hell?” She said “I am joking, calm down. I will take any amount you pay me” He said watching her with amusement. “Oh, you must sure be a joker, what if I decide to pay you $100?” Ariana asked “We both know, you won’t what to do that, and I know you worth more than that” He answered. “Yes I am worth more than that, so how about we start from $4,000” She asked, wanting to read the man’s expression but he kept a blank expression. “We can work with that for now miss” Aiden said, his arms now crossed on his chest. “Okay, do we have a deal?” She asked, extending her hand forward for a handshake. He felt his eyes move from her face to her slender hand and then back to her face, “Deal” He said taking her hand into a handshake. His grip was strong but not strong enough to crush her hand, he was gentle in a way. She pulled away a
Her car was parked waiting for her at the front of the building, she walked elegantly and climbed into her car, her eyes met Aiden’s eyes from the side mirror. “Did you receive the location from Lora?” Ariana asked her new driver. “Yes ma’am” He answered, and the car zoomed off, in an hour time they got to their destination the drive was smooth, Ariana was impressed, he was indeed an experienced driver. Who was careful with traffic lights and speeding. A three story restaurant came in view as the car parked, it was one of her mother’s many restaurants. This particular restaurant was the most expensive because it dealt with international dishes, Italian, Chinese, Indian, Spanish. A 5 star restaurant with 5 star food. “Do you want me to wait for you here?” Aiden asked without looking at her. “Yes, I don’t have strength for father’s questions” She answered and climbed down the car. The security opened the door of the restaurant as sh
Ariana had got to her house and had freshened up, wearing a pair of her favorite blue pajamas. She sat down on her sofa facing the large window in her house. This was a very normal routine for her because she had nothing else to do, than drink her exotic red wine and look at the busy streets of LA. Her long black hair was in packed in a messy bun, she grabbed her glass again to take her drink when she heard her phone ring. She groaned and lazily turned around to grab her house. It was a private number, a frown appeared across her brows, who called her with a private number she asked herself. Hesitating for a moment she finally decided to pick the call. “Hello” She said with the phone on her ear, but she received no reply which was strange, “Hello, who is on the line” she repeated but the result was the same. No reply from the other end. And suddenly the call was ended from the other end. “That was strange”. She said to herself but anyways she wasn’t gonna think ab
She had arrived to the office, climbing down the car she moved towards the building. Her workers greeted as she walked past them. She replied them normally as she headed to her office. Entering her office she slumped on her onto her chair, running her hand through her hair. Her meeting was about to start in twenty minutes with the CEO of another importing company. She looked at herself in the mirror and adjusted her shirt, even though she had no makeup on she looked quite the same, many people had once told her she even looked better without makeup. Her phone vibrated in her table, walking over the table she connected her AirPods to her ears and picked the call, it was her mother. “Hey mum”. Annabelle said, flipping through the files in front of her. “Sweetheart, how are you doing?”. Her mother voice came from the receiver. “Yes mum, I am doing fine, although I had a weird dream yesterday but it felt so real. I don’t understand anything anymore”. She explained to her m
Aiden fumed in anger, his eyes were on the corpse which laid on the floor, the man had dared to place a tracking chip inside him car. Aiden opened the door of the car, he had easily seen the tracker, pulled it out he dropped in on the floor and crushed it with his shoes. Running his hand through his thick black hair he cursed silently, he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. “Hey boss”, The person said from the receiver in a calm voice. “Carlos, send the boys to come clean up this mess. It seems Rodrigo have decided to play dirty. He sent one of his men to place a fucking chip in my car”. Aiden said between his teeth. “That bloody idiot, we will look into the it. And I’m sending the boys now”. Carlos said, as sounds of keyboard was heard from his background “Good”. Aiden pulled the phone away from his ear and ended the call. With a sigh, he pulled the door open to enter his car. He started the engine and zoomed off. It was 1:45pm, and Alexander ha
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
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
