Ariana went downstairs for dinner with Nicholas. They saw everyone already sitting down around the dining table waiting for them.Nicholas gracefully pulled a chair for Arianna to sit on before sitting down himself. Rose immediately shifted her seat and sat beside Nicholas on his left. Nicholas turned his head to her side and raised an eyebrow at her in question, but Rose just ignored his gaze and started piling food on his plate.Everybody looked at the scene in amusement, whilst Nicholas looked at Rose as if she was a crazy person. “Enjoy your meal, brother Nicky,” Rose said with a smile, which made everyone chuckle.Nicholas was dumbfounded by her actions. Even the elders' plates were empty, so why did this little girl feed him first before everyone? “Brat…" Nicholas called Rose and turned to give her his full attention. “ Listen to me, firstly, don't fill my plate in front of my wife or before anyone. Secondly, I prefer you return to your old self. This new you makes me fucki
Everyone's eyes went wide in shock at the sudden revelation. What did she just say? How? How come? How can they be siblings without any one of them knowing? The dining table became eerie silent like the cemetery. “What did you just say?” Alex was the first one to recover from his shock and asked.All eyes then again turned to Anastasia as if they were demanding she repeat what she just said.Anastasia started crying and repeated what she just said. Nicholas and Abigail felt like a big truck has knocked them down. They didn't know how to digest the revelation. “That's absurd. How can you and Gina be sisters? That's ridiculous. Gina was the only daughter of her parents. Her other sister was kidnapped and killed. How dare you tell such an absurd lie!” Alex shouted as he knocked his chair down.“ALEX!" Old master Nelson called his son and gave him a stern look to shut him up before turning his attention to Anastasia, who was crying.“My child, can you explain further? This old man here
“The truth is… I meant to say Ariana is… She's actually the biological mother of Kyle and Kylie. Aria stole them from her after she gave birth.”“WHAT?!” The whole family said in shock, together with Ariana, who sharply turned her head towards Nicholas with wide eyes. Her entire body was vibrating with several emotions at what Nicholas said.“Explain further son!” Anastasia asked him hurriedly as they all stopped eating and stared at him in anticipation and anxiety. Nicholas shrugged as if he was telling them about the weather forecast.“I don't know how and all the details, but I've asked my men to continue their investigation. And from the little information I was given, it turned out that Aria was never pregnant in the first place. For that seven months of her fake pregnancy, we were all fooled by her.I think that's why she made us move out of this Mansion and demanded to have her separate room until she gives birth.You know I'm a workaholic so I didn't really pay much attention
The morning light showed on the beautiful family laying on the bed as they hugged each other. Kyle was now hugging his mother with his small hands as he laid on top of her, while Kylie did the same with her father.No one even knew how they switched to such positions during the night.A knock on the door jotted both Nicholas and Ariana from their sleep.They were stunned by the scenes in front of them the moment they opened their eyes.How or when in the hell did the kids climb on top of them?Nevertheless, they felt so happy like no other. Their family is finally united and legit. Ariana couldn't help but smile. She never thought something like this would ever happened in her life.Everything felt so surreal. From getting married to the most handsome CEO in the City and to finally having her twins back.She couldn't be happier, and it all happened because of him… her husband. How lucky she is.“Good morning!” She took the initiative to greet him with a smile. Rayner didn't reply, h
SIX MONTHS LATERSix months have passed and the Nelson family has become one strong family. Not only in the eye of the public but even when they are in their Mansion. And all thanks go to Ariana for her capability and strong will for bringing the family together as one big loving family.Even Nicholas's father, Alex, has become close to her and tried his best to be a good father-in-law to her. He had also grown much attached to his grandchildren, Kyle and Kylie. His relationship with his elder daughter, Abigail had also grown spontaneously.However, Alex's relationship with his son, Nicholas, is still not that great. But it's not like before either when they both wanted to strangle each other's throats to death.Nicholas's brotherly relationship with his half-siblings, Anthony and Rose, is on a different level too. Though Nicholas doesn't show his true feelings for them, his actions towards them are not like before, and he treats them, especially with much care.Everything in the Nels
“WHAT? YOU MEAN TRISTAN IS GOING TO WORK WITH ME?!” Ariana asked in shock and happiness. “Sure, why not. I figured that you wouldn't be comfortable in a place you know no one and also, since you need to pretend to be Aria, I thought you might need someone familiar to boost your spirit.” Nicholas said sincerely with a smile. He was very much aware of her situation, and thus he had prepared everything beforehand in other to help her feel comfortable at the office.Out of nowhere, Ariana threw her body on his out of happiness. She hugged him tightly as she continuously thanked him.Nicholas was startled in the beginning. However, he soon relaxed and hugged her back. He had a wide grin on his face. It seemed he had done the correct thing.“Thank you, Nicky, thank you so much!” Ariana exclaimed happily. “Well, if you are this happy, don't you think you have to reward me?” Nicholas asked sheepishly. Ariana cracked her brain quickly, and before she could even stop herself, her hands alread
The poor secretary shivered from the coldness emitting from her Boss. Why is their Boss so pissed off early in the morning? However, she still found her voice and answered… “Yes, Boss!” Thereafter, she turned her face to Ariana and Tristan with a polite smile.Nonetheless, she was also confused as to why their Madam wouldn't go to her office straight, but rather go to the vice president's office first. Of course, everyone in the office thinks it's Aria. Though Ariana has more curves and her hair is a little longer than Aria, it wasn't much apparent for people to know the difference between them.“Mrs. Nelson, please follow me.” The secretary said politely to Ariana; however, she meant even Tristan should follow her.After giving his instructions, Nicholas walked into his office without saying anything or even turning his head to wish Ariana good luck on her first day at work.Ariana's eyes stung with tears; however, she forced them to stay at bay. This is her first day at work, she c
“Look, first of all, let me ask you a question…" Abigail said and paused to allow her words to take effect on them.“Ask us!” Ariana said.Abigail smiled and continued, “Let me ask you, how would you feel if someone who is not blood-related to either my brother or Mike hugged him all of a sudden in a front of his employees with a longing and caring face?” Abigail asked and raised her eyebrows.Ariana and Tristan looked at each other as it suddenly dawned on them.“Th- they can - can't be jealous, right?" Ariana asked skeptically. “I can bet your ass on that,” Abigail said with laughter.Both Ariana and Tristan were stunned. How can these two grown-up men be so picky? What is there to be jealous about? Are they even for real?“That's bullshit! Ariana is like a sister to me. How can they even have such thoughts? Moreover, they could have just said it without all this drama.” Tristan said in anger.Abigail became serious and explained further. “You can't be mad at them. I think you woul
“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
