Hope you enjoying it. Please let me know what you think.🙏🙏😘❤️❤️❤️
♤♤♤EARLIER♤♤♤Ariana went to the Amusement park indeed with Kyle and Kylie. The happiness on the kids' faces was priceless. Ariana wondered if they had ever come to such a pace before. Anyway, she allowed them to play countless games under her watch just to avoid any danger.She herself would join them whenever they wanted to play some games, which was a bit dangerous. Ariana herself felt so happy looking at the kids laughing and giggling here and there.She was so much into their enjoyment that she failed to spot Nicholas's car just around the corner looking at them. Nicholas had actually followed them up when Ariana called and informed him of ditching school with the kids.He has been watching them play different kinds of games and now, for some reason, he wanted to join.He fished his phone out and called Ariana, though he was just a few meters away from her.“Hello…” He heard Ariana's voice over the phone, but something was different when he looked at her face from where he wa
“Mommy, Daddy, can we come with you? I don't want to go home without you!” Kylie whined when her father called Ariana's driver to send them back to the house whilst he goes to the Shelton Company with Ariana. “No princess. I have an important meeting with your mommy, and we can't bring the children along. I promise we will come home as soon as we are done, okay.” Nicholas crouched down in front of the little girl who was pouting and coaxed her.“Don't worry, angels, we will come home soon okay.” Ariana helped Nicholas in making the kids understand. After several attempts of coaxing, the kids agreed to go home with the driver. Ariana and Nicholas got inside Nicholas's car and instructed his driver to drive them to the Shelton Company. Inside Nicholas's car on the road was a thick silence and awkwardness. Ariana didn't know how she should talk about their intense kiss a while ago, likewise for Nicholas too.Ariana couldn't blame Nicholas for the valuation of their rules because she
Nicholas and Mike was shocked, looking at Ariana and Tristan at the door. “Uhm, it's not what you guys think, Ari. We were - just uhm- we- I mean, since when have you been standing there?Are you not supposed to wait for us in Uncle's office with your parents?” Nicholas asked flustered.He didn't know whether Ariana and Tristan heard his conversation with Mike.And even if he wants to tell her now and shout to her that Kyle and Kylie were actually their biological children, he didn't want it to be now.He wanted to at least surprise her with a little party consist of only him, Ariana, and their kids.“Nicky, why do you look so tense? I just asked why you two were hugging each other happily. And look at how you are being all flustered. Someone might think there's actually something going on between you two.And you Mike, why do you keep calling my husband with all sorts of endearment? Example, Baby, Love, Babe, Sweetheart, etc.I mean, even if you were to be real siblings, you should m
“Oh boy! Shit is about to go down.” Anthony, he was descending the stairs, murmured to himself as he saw Ariana moving closer to Rebecca.Ariana walked towards Rebecca and stood in front of her with a playful smirk on her face.“Wh- what do you- you think you are doing- doing?” Rebecca stammered with her words. The way Ariana was looking at her scent chills down to her inner bones. “What do you think I'm about to do, Miss Rebecca? Well… I'm just going to ask you to repeat what you told my kids in my absence, that's all.I mean, you are behaving as if I'm going to swallow you? This wasn't the kind of face you had on when you were trying your best to ignore my presence and continued flirting with my husband. Anyway, to cut everything short, could you kindly repeat what you said to my kids in my absence?” Ariana spoke casually, and if those in the house didn't know what was under that casual face and voice of hers, they would have thought that Ariana only wanted a civilized conversatio
***ONE WEEK LATER***It's finally a week later and the wedding of Tristan and Mike.Things were actually moving faster than they had expected, yet they had to move with the flow.They didn't just have a small ceremonial wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Shelton made sure their son's wedding was spectacular. They didn't care about what the public will say regarding their son marrying a man.All they want is for their son to settle down and have someone he can call his own.The whole country has been eager for this particular day. Just the idea of the country's second god and the king of playboy getting married is something they never expected. Some of Mike's flings or one-night stand felt angry and heartbroken. Mike will always tell them that he wasn't interested in getting married and now this…*********Ariana was shocked as hell looking at the dresses spread on her bed and all over her room.Her relationship with Nicholas is growing into something which scares her a lot.She feared when the t
“Ni- Nicholas…!” Ariana whispered heavily. Being this close to Nicholas was doing her heart and stomach something. “What… Can't I complement my wife?” Nicholas said and moved his left hand to her waist. Ariana closed her eyes and took in another sharp breath. Nicholas was driving her crazy and he knew it.“I --” Ariana wanted to say something, but her words weren't coming out. The tingling of Nicolas's hand was setting her body on fire.“Shhh… don't talk, Ari, let's just stay like this for a while, can we?” Nicholas said softly and pressed a kiss on her nose.Ariana held on to his suit for her dear life before nodding to him. She didn't even understand why she agreed to stay in that position with him.Not only her but both of them didn't even understand their actions. What they want and what they were doing was nothing they both expected, yet they still feel the pull.“I never knew I will have to wait for you downstairs whilst you are here enjoying each other.” Abigail's voice pulled
All eyes turned to the person and saw that it was Nicholas's wife, Aria ( Ariana ). "How dare you--" Esther's words were cut off by Ariana with another slap. Daniel dashed forward to Ariana but Anthony stood in front of her and punched him really hard in his jaw. Yes, he couldn't hit Esther because she's a lady, but that doesn't imply he can't hit Daniel. "You don't fucking touch her!" Anthony said to Daniel. In fact, he was having the same cold aura his senior brother displayed always."And you, what did you say about my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law? I don't know who you are or the family you come from, but be prepared to face the consequences of insulting my family because I won't let it slide." Ariana said coldly to all of them before turning to Anthony... "Tony, I know your handsomeness can't match up to my husband, but you are third to none. How can you date someone so lowly like her?" Ariana asked him with a smirk and Anthony could tell she was mocking him. Anthony j
Mr. and Mrs. Shelton called for everyone's attention as it was time for Mike and Tristan to exchange rings. Ariana was going to have her seat after the little commotion with Anthony's friends. Suddenly, a hand pulled her by the waist, making her back hit the person's chest.No one needed to tell her who the person was. Just by the smell of intoxicated his cologne, Ariana knew it was no other person but her husband, Nicholas. “Nicky, what are you doing? We are in public. Let go of me… People are watching us, Nicky.” Ariana whispered to him when she felt every eye in the room on them.“Why? Have you forgotten the reason why we got married in the first place? Was it not because of the public? And besides, Aria and I used to be like this whenever we go to a party. So, since you are pretending to be her, I think we should do it in a better way, right? Don't you think so?” Nicholas whispered in her ears.Though Nicholas was just stating a fact in a jovial way, Ariana was hurt by his wor
“Aaahhh!!” Aria screamed. “ You bitch! Have you lost your mind or what? How dare you pour water on me? Are you courting death?” Aria bellowed as she stood up, and started pacing around the room like a mad person. After a few seconds, she turned her cold gaze to Ariana and rushed to her side with her hands raised to strangle Ariana to death.She wasn't concerned about the consequences. All she wanted was to kill Ariana once and for all…“How dare me? Ha! You should be thankful that one of my hands is injured because of you! You would have received more than just a splash of water, you crazy bitch!” Ariana exclaimed furiously as she also stood up and glared daggers at Aria, who immediately shut her mouth and hated in her tracks. Aria was once again stunned by Ariana's reaction. She always thought, that regardless of what she did, Ariana would never have the guts to retaliate physically and would just endure it just as before. How wrong she is! Many of Aria's minions always reported to
“Ni- Nick, di- did you ju-st call - call me a bitch? H- how dare you? HOW DARE YOU!" Aria screamed back with the little voice she was still having. She didn't even care about how Nicholas tried to kill her. All she cared about was Nicholas calling her a "Bitch".What the hell!“Aria McCarthy! Enough of all this drama! Seriously, enough of all this!” Ariana suddenly exclaimed. She helped Nicholas to take a seat and sat beside him. She intertwined their hands together before looking up and flashing him a loving smile as a form of comfort. In fact, looking at them and their show of love, Aria had to admit bitterly that Ariana and Nicholas really looked good together, which infuriated her even more.Aria felt they were the perfect match as a couple. Her jealousy towards Ariana increased tenfold. Despite having an identical face and probably the same body figure as Ariana, the power that exudes from Ariana is different from hers. It doesn't matter what she does, she still can't catch up wi
After Nicholas shouted at Aria, everyone in the room became silent. They were even afraid to breathe or make a sound. It's been a long time since they saw Nicholas this angry. His anger was visible on his face and his trembling body. Everything about his state screams danger.It was as if no one were around him and all he could see was darkness. His hatred for Aria clouded his mind to think straight or calm himself down. He wanted so badly to simply rush to her and kill her with his own bare hands. Suddenly, a soft and warm hand circled his, bringing him back from the darkness shrouding him.Blinking his eyes several times to gain back his sight to reality, he saw his family looking at him with concern written all over their faces.Turning his head to Ariana's side, Nicholas saw the worry in her eyes, and the fact that Kyle and Kylie looked at him fearfully made him realize what he had just done.Nicolas closed his eyes and took in a deep sharp breath to hold himself back from doing a
After staying outside the country for a very long time, Aria decided to return to her old country.The reason behind her leaving for another country has been completed. So she came back to take whatever she left behind, including her husband, her kids, her family, and most importantly, her title as Mrs. Nelson.Before she left the country, Aria paid people to keep an eye on the Nelson family, and also Ariana, her twin sister.As a result, she's very much aware of whatever happened during her absence, including the marriage between Nicolas and Ariana. And the fact that Ariana finally found out the truth regarding Kylie and Kylie's birth. It wasn't truly a surprise for Aria. She had already guessed the outcome of her absence and what Nicholas might do.Even knowing that fact, Aria didn't let that affect her decision to leave, at least she had a motive for traveling. And finally, after gaining whatever she wanted, she decided to return.Aria was and still is a person who doesn't want any
Nicolas took Ariana to the hospital and made sure her injured hand was well taken care of. He tried to persuade Ariana to stay at the hospital for a few days. However. To his dismay, Ariana refuted. She complained of being fine and nothing serious. The truth was that she was still feeling the pain in her injured fingers. However, staying at the hospital won't solve anything. She needed her husband and family but not the doctors. The doctor had already done his best by treating her wounds and bandaging them. He also gave her some pain relievers. So what's the point of staying at the hospital?“Baby, why don't you stay for a little longer, maybe a day or two, and then we can go home. I just want to make sure nothing happens to your hand.” Nicholas tried to persuade her again. “No! I would rather go than stay here. I want to go home, Nick. Not only that, but I mean, aside from my injured fingers, there's nothing wrong with me. And if that's the problem, you can be my other hand, right
Nicholas was still in Abigail's office chatting with her regarding Aria's return and email without knowing what was going on inside his wife's office.“So tell me, Nick… What did that bitch send you?” Abigail asked calmly after making sure her temper was in place.Nicholas just sat there for a few seconds before replying to her... “She didn't say much. She just said she's back and hoped her seat as Mrs. Nelson is still vacant for her.” Nicholas answered with a shrug. Abigail slammed her fist furious on her desk… “HOW DARE SHE!” She spat furiously before asking her brother again, “So? So what did you tell her?” She asked with agitation. “Nothing,” Nicholas answered curtly. He felt exhausted with Aria's return. His mind was in chaos regarding what Aria might have planned in mind.“What?” Abigail asked furiously. “Are you telling me that you didn't say anything to her? I mean, wait, you mean to say you didn't reply to her email?” Abigail asked. She felt the impulse to slap her brother h
Standing behind his sister's office door, Nicholas rubbed his forehead in frustration. Not because he was fed up with his sister or still angry with her. Nicholas just wished Abigail would always put on her cold front as professional when she's at work.However, it seems impossible when Mike is involved. Abigail technically forgets about herself and her surroundings whenever Mike is around.He knew Mike and his sister had some special bond which he himself sometimes felt jealous of.Abigail has always been close to Mike because Mike gave her more attention and care than Nicholas ever did.Actually, it was so simple to understand. Nicholas had a lot going on in his life ever since he was a kid. Basically, with his mom's death and his father not being there for him.He tried his best to be there for his little sister as much as he could, but it wasn't enough. On the contrary, Mike was always there for Abigail and never said no to her in any way. Since Mike is the only child of his pa
Looking fearfully at the baseball bat in Abigail's hand, Mike took a few steps back and feigned fear.He grew up with Abigail and even if the latter is younger than him, Mike, of course, knew her character the most.Abigail isn't concerned about age or gender. If she set her mind to hitting or beating someone, she would do it without any hesitation. She can be calm or scary when she wants.Looking at his fearful husband, Tristan was torn between laughing and crying at the same time. The heck! To think that Mile would be this fearful of Abigail. It was really laughable. “What's going on here?” Came Ariana's voice from behind the gathered crowd. “Oh Tris, you are finally here! Where in the heck name have you been? Do you know how much Abigail and I have been looking for you? Where--!” Ariana went to Tristan's side and bombarded him with countless questions. However, she shut her mouth the moment she saw Abigail's impassive face as she swayed the baseball bat in her hands. “Oh… I see n
When Tristan heard the sweet and gentle voice of a female calling his husband, he became a little jealous instantly.And the way the woman stared longingly at Mike made Tristan lose his appetite instantly. However, upon looking at Mike and realizing how cold he sounded toward the woman, his jealousy subsided a little.“Mikey, why are you pretending to be cold towards me? Have you forgotten how we spend good times together?” Rachael said with a hint of sadness and irritation as she went and stood right beside Mike.She didn't allow Mike to answer her before she took a seat beside him and shamelessly laid her head on his shoulder lovingly.Rachael ignored the presence of Tristan as if he was not even there.Mike looked at Tristan and saw the hurt in his eyes and the anger on his face broke his heart.He harshly shoved Rachael off his shoulder and warned, “Rachael, are you even a lady? Don't you have shame? Or you are blind to see that I'm having a meal with my husband?” Mike said with d
