Ariana woke up in the middle of the night because she was feeling hungry. She didn't eat much at the dinner because, well, you can say she was feeling shy because it was her first time being in a such rich family like that.And moreover, the foods were so fancy to her unliking. She wanted to eat something simple. She looked over at where Nicholas's bed was and saw he was sound asleep. She didn't want to wake him up just to get her food. In fact, Ariana was much grateful she found Nicholas. He has been nothing but the best ever since they met. With the mindset of not waking him up, Ariana took her phone from the nightstand, tiptoed, and slowly left the bedroom. She on her phone torchlight since she doesn't want to wake the rest up if she on the whole lights in house. She slowly walked to the kitchen, and she was grateful that Anastasia and Abigail toured with her around the house.Ariana froze the moment she went to the kitchen. What's in the fucking name was she seeing? Why woul
The morning sun showed brightly on Tristan's face as he lay there on the white king-size bed as if he has no worries.He snuggled more into the warmth laying next to him. It seemed he had a peaceful and sound sleep, as a smile crept on his face when he took in the scent of the warmth beside him.“Mmhhnn…” He even moaned at the feeling of having such warmth beside him. But his next statement made the warmth move away from him, and he tried to chase it…“Hmmnn Alex, why do you smell so greater than before? And your body, it feels so warm now. Why wasn't I able to feel this warmth from you before? Mmhhnn… Anyway, you smell so good… So, so fucking good. Let's just stay like this for a while, okay.”Tristan's eyes were still closed when he was blabbering his words without realizing that the man near him was glaring daggers at him.“I can see you are still in love with that fucker that is making you mistake me for him even in your sleep.”Tristan shot up abruptly when he heard Mike's pisse
“Good morning…” Nicholas greeted Ariana when she opened her eyes.He had woken up a long time ago while he stared at Ariana hugging Kyle and Kylie in her arms on her bed.After cooking for them last night, the kids wanted to sleep with their parents, so Ariana made them sleep on her bed with her so that she can cuddle them. And moreover, her bed is bigger than Nicholas's. “I can see you had a peaceful sleep,” Nicholas said when Ariana rubbed her eyes and sat up on her bed.“Good morning Nicholas.” She responded and turned her face to the sides of her bed and saw Kyle and Kylie sleeping peacefully. “I bet we all had a good sleep then,” Ariana said as she ran her hands through the hair of the twins.“Yes, we did. And since we had a good sleep, wouldn't it be better if you can check the time now?” Nicholas said sarcastically. Ariana cussed when she saw the time. “Oh shoot! I'm late for work.” She said and got up from the bed abruptly to go to the bathroom. “Wait, what work are you ta
After having their breakfast, Ariana decided to take Kyle and Kylie to school, which made the kids happier.Her mind was still in chaos regarding both Aria and Tristan's issues. No matter how much she thinks about it, it was still puzzling to her how Aria could easily steal her identity.And when did she even start using her name?Ariana heaved a sigh as she sat in the back seat with Kyle and Kylie. Then again came to her mind with Tristan and Mike's issue. 'What the hell is going on around me? How did Tristan and Mike advance to such a relationship?' Ariana asked herself inwardly. It seems she's bonded in finding shocking news around her nowadays. “We have reached Young, Madam.” The driver said politely to Ariana when they reached the school. She was lost in her thought that she even failed to realize that she was taking the kids to school.“Oh okay. Thank you.” She thanked the driver before turning to the kids.“Come on, kids, let's get going,” Ariana said happily to them, but s
Tristan and Mike sat in his office whilst they have a staring competition with none of them backing out. Mike couldn't hold back anymore, so he spoke first but rather, he regretted being the first person to speak between them.“So? What do you have to say? Why are you quiet now? I thought you were so brave in front of the reporters.” Mike said mockingly to Tristan, who just rolled his eyes at him in annoyance. “What do you want me to say? For example, Sorry, I kissed you? If that's the case, then sorry to disappoint you but I won't apologize for that.And don't even dare think that it is because I liked it. I just did it to save your face in front of the reporters, as everyone knows you for your bad character." Tristan snorted at him. 'The nerve of this man. He is the one who claimed me as his boyfriend and I decided to play along with you. How dare he expect me to apologize for kissing him?' Tristan said furiously inwardly. Mike couldn't believe his ears at the rudeness of the boy
“It's not your bride, son. It's your GROOM! And he is no other person but TRISTAN!” Tristan choked on his saliva as he coughed hard from what?Mike's mother said.“Me?!” It was the only thing Tristan could ask.“Yes you, my dear child.” Mike's mother said lovingly to him.Tristan felt like he was going crazy with what the woman was saying.He hastily stood up from Mike's lap and started pacing around inside the office.“Uhm, excuse me, Ma'am, I think there must be some mistakes or misunderstandings somewhere. Because all this is insane and fucking crazy.All I'm saying is that there's absolutely, and I mean, ABSOLUTELY nothing going on between me and your son. You can't just ask us to get married like that.What you just saw on the news was just an act we both played so that the media can stop pestering him. In all, we were just faking everything. So please, don't take it too far. I can never marry you son.” Tristan said politely, but desperation was vivid in his speech.“Faking? I m
♤♤♤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
“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
