“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
It was a new day and the family were having their breakfast When they heard a knock at the door,Ariana’s father stood up to go check who was at the door. He opened the door and saw two guys standing in front of the door, David looked at them from head to toe wondering who they were, they looked like lawyers because they were holding a file and they both had neat black suits on. “who are you?”David asked looking at them. “Good morning Mr. David, I am Carlos and this is Eric my lawyer, and I will sent by Mr Alexander. He sent me here to make preparations for the wedding.” Carlos said, looking at the man as he spoke. David just looked at him for a moment before pushing the door wide open for them to enter. “Come in”. David said, the men entered the room and he closed the door behind them. “Sit down,I will be right back”. David said to the guys as he went to the dinning room to call him wife and daughter. “Martha, Ari lets go. Alexander men are here, let’s hear what they want
“Yes Ariana, we want to keep it on a low key too to avoid unnecessary attractions”. Carlos said flashing a smile. “I’m about to have a headache just having this conversation with you, what is low key about 300 freaking people? That’s just way too much”. Ariana said massaging her temple with her fingers. “It isn’t too much, anyways you can check the catalog so we can go check the places out” Carlos said. “Or perhaps do you prefer we check it one after the other” He asked. “Of course not, let’s just stick with the catalog, let me see it”. Ariana said as she stretched her arm to collect the catalog from Carlos, she opened it as she began to flip through the pages, it looked like halls meant to be used by the royal family. They looked so luxurious and executive, Ariana wondered why this man was wasting million of dollars to plan a wedding that wasn’t even based off on love. “All these are just too much, can’t we get something less luxurious”. Ariana asked. “No princess we c
Ariana just couldn’t stop herself from swallowing in the amazing sight, it was so beautiful she could only imagine how much this place would cost, millions of dollars, anyways she wasn’t the one paying so she could worry less. “Do you like it?” Carlos turned around to look at her. “It’s not bad”. She rolled her eyes at him, the last thing she wanted was to give this man the satisfaction he wanted, she never even wanted this wedding in the first place. “Oh really? I have been watching you admire this place since we got here and now you say it’s not bad, I will just let it pass Ariana to make you happy”. Carlos said, then turned to look at Fabiola, “So Fabiola this is the decoration we want, it is something you can get done in two days time”. He handed her a tablet were the picture was. Fabiola collected it and looked at the picture, “is...this all? Is this all what you want?” She asked, it was so simple for someone like Alexander. “Not me, that’s the wife’s decision.
After they were done, they had left the hotel. Carlos drove Ariana and her mother back to their house. And reminded them that they would be going for the wedding dress fitting the next day. At exactly 9:00am, Carlos had arrived at their house, but he didn’t come with Eric and Ariana was happy with that because she found man to be just weird. Her father had an important meeting to attend so he couldn’t follow them so she went with her mother. They were now in the car, Ariana wore a pair of blue jeans and a black top, and her mother wore a flory knee length dress with her hair in a pony tail while Ariana let her hair flow down her shoulders. “The wedding is going to be held in St. Mark church it’s very close to the hotel were the reception will be held. And you don’t have to worry about it, I have already made all the arrangements for the church.” Carlos explained as he drove. Ariana just nodded, it was getting more and more real to her that she was going to get marrie
Ariana opened her eyes to see her surroundings covered in smoke, she kept hearing a buzzing sound in her ears. A dry cough that escaped her lips as she slowly stood up to her feet. “Come on lets go, can you walk?” She heard someone say from behind her. She turned to look as who it was “Let’s go, the car is waiting for us”. Alexander said placing his hand around her waist before lifting her up. Three men dressed in all black rushed towards them, from the way they behaved Ariana could tell they were working for Alexander. “Don’t worry, I will carry her, so check my car” He said and headed towards the car, he placed her gently on the back seat of the car and sat beside her. “Are you both good?” Carlos asked turning his head to look at them at the back seat. “Yes we are good, she’s still in shock she will be good” Alexander said looking at Ariana who was resting her head on his shoulder. “Alright, I will be taking us to the penthouse it’s the closed to this place”. Ca
A/N: This chapter is supposed to come before chapter 24 which was honeymoon, I made a mistake while uploading, ****** Ariana felt her heart drop to her stomach, her eyes couldn’t believe what it was seeing at this moment. This had be some kind of joke or something, she opened her mouth to talk but no words formed from her mouth. The man in front of her just stared at her, he had no emotions on his face. “We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this wonderful man and woman”. The priest said with a smile, “please bring the rings here”,the priest added, a little girl came to their side with a small pillow in her hand where the rings laid. “Alexander Savage, do you take Ariana Smith as your lawful wedded wife, promise to hold and to love, in sickness and in health till death do you part”. The priest asked looking at him. Alexander’s eyes were on her when picked the ring from the pillow, pulled her hand forward and slipped the ring into her fourth finger. “I do”. H
Ariana was very much confused, she had never seen Alexander look so alert before he always had this calm demeanor and now he was like a totally different person. “We don’t have much time, walk fast Ariana”. He said without looking at her as he hold onto her hand tightly. When they finally got to the car, he entered the car and shut the door lock, pulling the seat belt over him he started the engine of the car. “Use the belt”. He said again without looking at her. She immediately did as she was told and watched him in silence, she had a million and one questions running in her head but she decided to just let him be for the moment because it clearly did look like a time for questions and answers. “Carl, I want you to track a car for me RV-441, do it now I will tell you everything when I get her to a safe place”. He said as he placed his earbuds into his ears. Ariana opened her mouth to speak but she stopped herself and just stared at him, she was beyond surprised how
Ariana’s breath hitched after hearing those words leave his mouth, this man was just unbelievable they were talking about something serious and here he was talking about...oh lord she to herself, she would have slapped her face with her hand but she couldn’t because this man was holding her arms. “Get off from me”. She said between her teeth. “No I won’t, you have to promise me that you would never such a thing like that again”. Alexander said. Ariana almost laughed at this man, so he was jealous she said to herself. “Why would I do that Alex? Besides you can do as you please I won’t be stopping you, I swear”. She smirked at him. He just stared at her still holding her hands in place. “You are going to be punished Ariana, you are being a very naughty girl right now”. He said so calmly. “Get off my Alex before I make you”. She grinned at him. Amusement flashed in his eyes, “Oh really? Then do it, make me Ariana” He smirked at her, he wondered what she would do to
When she was done with her work, she found the driver waiting for her and she entered the car with a sigh, she had a good day even if she was still bored at work, she was probably going to have a more boring day at home. She came out the car and walked into the house, she asked about Alexander from one of the security men and she was told he had gone out to do something. After taking a refreshing shower, she walked out of the restroom and changed into a loose shirt and black shorts. she quickly blow dried her hair and walked out of the room. Her eyes nearly went wide like saucers when she saw Alexander walk down the stairs of the other wing of the house with a woman by his side, the woman wore a short revealing black dress and had heavy makeup on her face. Ariana felt her heart squeeze in pain and for some reasons she felt jealousy flow through her. What was this man doing with that woman and who was she? She asked herself. She walked forward to them to make sure
Her neck had a love bite that was big and dark and it was a big spot. A frown popped up on her forehead and she narrowed her eyes, grabbing her powder from her bag and began to apply the power on her neck. Slowly covering the hickey on her neck, she pulled her hair to cover the spot on her neck. The silence in the room was so awkward she didn’t know what to say, “I will go get you coffee”. Lora said and walked out of the office. Thankfully Arianna was able to release the breath she didn’t know she was holding. She cursed at Alexander again for doing something as shameful as that, just then her phone rang and it was here mother who was calling . “Hey mum, how are you doing”. Ariana asked in a soft voice. “I’m good sweetheart, how are you doing?” She answered from the recover. “I am good Mum, how’s is father doing? How is everything there? How is the business going over there?” Ariana asked. “Everything is fine sweetheart we are all doing well and the business is going
It was the next morning and Ariana has already dressed in a beautiful black knee length dress, she was running a comb through her hair, as she circled her watch she was still on track. Picking her bag from the bed she walked out of the room to meet Alexander leaning on the wall with a cup of coffee in his hand. “You’re leaving already?” He asked. Ariana wanted to roll her eyes at this man, wasn’t it obvious from how she looked. “Yes I am” she gave him a small smile, and began to head out of the house. “Hey, come back here”. Alexander said making her stop in her steps, what did he want now? She asked herself. “Yes”, she slowly turned around to him. “Aren’t you forgetting anything?” He asked a smirk appearing across her face. “No I am not”. Ariana said almost immediately as she had double checked everything before she was leaving. “You sure? Won’t I get a goodbye kiss?” Alex’s smirked increased as he saw the surprised look at her face. “Seriously? There’s no on
Ariana who was listening to their conversation from behind the door cracked it open and walked into the living room, even though she was eavesdropping she couldn’t quite pick on everything they said. “Who was that? Is there any problem?” She walked up to him and asked him. “Just some thorns in my feet, it’s nothing you should be worried about I’ve handled the situation”. He replied. “Oh Alright, I wanted to ask you if I could resume work tomorrow, I’ve been away for a while and there’s nothing here to do so I will be bored.” Ariana rubbed her palms together as she spoke. It took a while before Alexander answered, “Sure you can but you have to listen to me, if you are going to leave this house you will have bodyguards with you at all times, and I meant it Ariana.” He said stressing each word. “Why would I do that? That’s going to be weird why would I have bodyguards following me when i am not some kind of princess or something like that”. Ariana raised her hands in the air. “I’m
Ariana could only nod her head because she knew her words would fail her at this point, “Good girl, come have lunch”. She heard him say before he let go of her thigh and walked out of the bathroom, Ariana let out the breath she didn’t know she was hiding. This man surely knew how to make her go crazy, after calming her heart and body, she walked out of the bathroom to see a tray sitting on the table waiting for her. She felt his gaze on her as she walked over to sit, avoiding his piercing gaze she began to eat her food in silence, After she was done it’s off she decided she was already feeling sleepy so she decided go rest her eyes before they got to their destination. Carlos also joined them in the plane, but He was already fast asleep on the chair Ariana walked to where the bed was and jumped on it, you didn’t take her long before she fell asleep. The next thing she heard was the pilot announcing that they were about to land, so Ariana walked back to sit down as she fastened her
