Ariana and Nicholas hugged each other as they remember their lost kids, without Ariana understanding Nicholas's grief.After standing and crying their eyes out for a while, Nicholas urged them back to his car.“Are you okay?” He asked Ariana and even used his right hand to wipe the tears that were stained on her face.“Mmm… yeah, I think I'm okay now. How about you? Are you feeling better now?” Ariana asked as she looked at him.They were in fact two strangers, going to have an unexpected marriage. But the way they were caring for each other's feelings might give the impression that they are close.“I'm good, thanks. And I'm sorry for what happened a while ago.” Nicholas said and flashed her a smile that almost took Ariana's breath away.She immediately lowered her gaze, not to get hypnotized by his forest-green eyes. “Let's get into the car. I'm taking you somewhere.” Nicholas said as he grabbed her hand and walked her to the car.Ariana smiled at him and asked. “ Where are you takin
“What? What did you say? Aria told me she was missing her grandmother and wanted to spend a week there with her.” Nicholas said with his furrowed eyes. He didn't like where his mind was leading g him to.Ariana was surprised, to hear what Nicholas said. Why would Aria lie? Anyway, she continued her story…“I don't understand why she lied to you, though. But frankly speaking, I didn't like her presence in the village at that time.The rest of our family members had havoc around her, simply because she got married into a rich family, and she offered them gifts, which I couldn't. Another surprising thing was the night I was in labor. I was told Aria was also in labor that same night.Anyway, it took everything in me to hear the first voice of my son, the nurse told me it was a boy, and then a girl. I was so happy to hear their cries, but the doctor gave me a shot at that very moment, which made me fall asleep. I woke up after a day or two, only to be given the news that my twins died
Nicholas guided Ariana back to his car. The girl had cried more than she should have.Nicholas wanted to even carry her because she was drained, but he held himself back. Both of them now knew they were those strangers from back then. And also they got to know that they really had kids together, which of course might be alive or dead, according to each other's perspective. “Are you okay?” Nicholas asked when they were seated in his car.Ariana nodded her head, but Nicholas knew she wasn't okay.“Okay then, I will drive you home. But before that, do you still intend to continue with the marriage or not? If you don't want to, I can--” Ariana cut his words off with hers…“I will, I will get married to you, Nicholas. I know this is not the kind of marriage every lady, including me, dreamed of.But sometimes we have to sacrifice ourselves in other to achieve our goals. Love? I don't have any interest in that. It has never been on my list for this stage in my life. So let's get married.”
Ariana woke up early in the morning to go to the law firm.Today marks the beginning of an important day in her life, and she didn't want to miss it.It is every girl's dream to get married in a white wedding gown with white flowers thrown at her on her way to the aisle in the church to meet her groom.But here she was, going to get married in a book but not in public.Moreover, she's going to be herself only when she's with Nicholas and his family. But to the public, she's Aria, Nicholas's real wife and the mother of his kids, the perfect wife and the perfect daughter-in-law of the Nelson family. Ariana's blood boiled with the thought of that.A knock on her door brought her out of her thinking. “Come in, it's open…” Ariana said and waited for the person to enter. Ariana was surprised as hell when she saw Tristan and his parents fully dressed up in their occasional attire.“Why are you in---” Her words were cut off by Tristan. “Oh fuck, baby, just look at the time. It's almost ni
“So in the eyes of the public, I will be your wedded wife, Aria, right?”Nicholas paused, his hand on what he was doing, and stared at her…“Uhm, I'm sorry Ariana, but I think that will be the case, for now, well until Aria returns,” Nicholas said with an apologetic face.He was surprised when he heard Ariana chuckling. “Why are you chuckling?” He asked her as a smile started creeping on his face.“It's nothing, it's just funny how you always become flustered whenever you have to answer my question… But don't worry, I don't have an issue with being that bitch in public. What matters is that, you know I'm Ariana, not Aria.”Ariana said and flashed Nicholas a sweet smile. Nicholas blinked several times to come back to his senses. “Don't smile like that to me again.” He said curtly and started his car as they drove off to their house.“Why? Does it make your heart beat faster?” Ariana teased him.“Ha! You wish Ariana. I don't have a heart in me. And even if I did, they've turned to ice.
Ariana and Nicholas reached the Nelson Mansion, and she was in awe looking at the large and beautiful building standing before her eyes.“Wooww… This house is insanely astonishing!” Ariana said as her eyes roamed around the outside of the house.The house was perfectly built with beautiful flowers everywhere around the compound. Ariana didn't miss the several security guards patrolling in and out of the house.She also saw several housemaids moving up and down with their respective works.“Are you just going to stand there and gawk at the house, or you will enter with me?” Nicholas said in amusement when he saw how childish Ariana was behaving while gawking at his house.Ariana came back to her senses, smile awkwardly, and apologize to him when she realized what she was doing. “Uhm, I'm sorry. You can't blame me though, your house is fucking amazing.” She said while they started to walk into the house.“Thanks though, but point of correction, this house belongs to my grandparents but
“I'm sorry my dear, please forgive them. I'm even embarrassed as their mother.” Anastasia apologized to Ariana. Ariana felt bad for the woman. In fact, based on what Nicholas has told her, the woman is nothing but an angel in a human form. “It's okay Auntie. Uhm, I'm actually sorry for the kind of words I used. I just get carried away.” Ariana apologized and went to her seat.She needs to calm her nerves down next time, if not, hell will blow loose…“You did amaze Ariana. I never knew you had this feisty side of you. I can say that, I'm proud of you, if not as your husband, then as your friend.” Nicholas leaned closer to her, and whispered in her ear, which sent a shiver down Ariana's spine. Her cheeks turned shades of red as her eyes went wide.Nicholas chuckled at her reaction and even raised his left hand to pinch her cheek. Ariana glared playfully at him before she flashed him a smile.They were so engrossed in their little conversation that they didn't even realize how the res
It was already night and Ariana was in the bathroom taking her shower.Nicholas sat on his bed and waited for her to come out first before he can also go in and take his bath.They wanted to sleep in different rooms, but the elders in the house insisted that it was best if they sleep in the same room but on different beds if it pleases them.This made Nicholas bring another bed into his bedroom for Ariana's convenience. Nicholas sat on his bed with his laptop when the bathroom door opened, revealing Ariana is in a white bathrobe with her hair dripping with water.Everything felt like slow motion for Nicholas. He took in everything Ariana was doing at that moment. The way she moved her legs…The way she swayed her hair…Not only that but the way she held the small towel in her hands….The way she tilted her head to the other side so that she can wipe her hair…The way her white and creamy skin looked in that bathrobe…The way she finally turned to face him…And even the way she opened
“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
