Chapter 36
ARIANA’S POV
The headline was a disaster. No PR manager could save me from this. Unless the investigation proved I was not Flora's murderer, I was doomed.
Unable to bear it any longer, I abandoned Rob in the office and ran downstairs. It could only be Emily or Detective Parker that had told the press. They were out to get me and it showed.
Rob did not come after me thankfully. I needed space from him. I had no idea why I had even run to him in the beginning. I had to learn that he would never love me as much as he loved Flora. They had a son together.
I had avoided him for days since the encounter at my

ROBERT’S POV I was going crazy searching for Ariana. She was not answering my calls and I could not even reach her through any other means. Barbara had not seen her either and the thought that she was probably doing something to harm herself was driving me crazy. The media was having a field day with their story. Many news channels were doing commentaries on the case. Not only were the two richest families in Chicago involved in a paternity crisis, we were also under fire for an assumed unsolved murder.We were currently having a meeting with the board of directors and the PR Team.The Vanderbilts were present but Nate was nowhere to be seen and rightfully so. Better to keep him away from the paparazzi. They were a circus. The meeting dragged on for hours and we finally agreed that both companies will host a press conference to address the questions of the public and make sure the investigation of the murder was a transparent one. When the meeting ended, I cornered my in-laws.The

ARIANA’S POV It had all happened too fast and even now as the ambulance arrived along with the paparazzi that could never pass up an opportunity for a good story, I stood there as if in a trance.I had asked Josh to drive away as soon as the accident happened because the press would have a field day if they found the two of us together. I rode in the back of the ambulance to the hospital with Rob. Fortunately, he was still conscious even though he was delirious. I could smell the alcohol on his clothing and was a little mad at him for risking his life that way. What was he thinking? Had he not been using his seatbelt, he would be dead by now.We arrived at the hospital and he was quickly wheeled into the ER while I stood outside pacing up and down. Alone and angry. Where was Rob even headed to?I was relieved when the doctor finally cleared me in to see him and when I entered the hospital room, I felt sad seeing him connected to the machines and on drips.“Hey baby”, I whispered, si

ARIANA’S POV“Have you lost your mind?” I asked in disbelief, my voice rising by several decibels.The nurses and orderlies were slowing their steps now to eavesdrop and watch what was happening.“I would advise you remained quiet Mrs Stone until we get to the station…”“You have some nerve thinking I’m going anywhere with you…”I began to protest as Detective Parker handcuffed me.“Do you know who I am?” I demanded several times, angry and feeling embarrassed. What in God’s name was the meaning of this embarrassment?I continued yelling at the detective as he led me out of the hospital and into the police car waiting outside.I was filled with rage. Rob would wake up and find me gone and he would not know the reason. I had to find who was setting me up this way. As I thought this, I instantly remembered with utter dismay that my parents had given the Chicago Police Department license to humiliate me in this manner because they felt I had murdered my own sister.At this thought, I sat

ROBERT’S POVI knew Margaret’s announcement would hit Ariana like a train wreck and it made me angry that I could not protect her. Ariana would probably think I had planned I watched Ariana’s face go through so many emotions all at once till she settled for sadness. She said nothing and instead left the hospital room. I noticed Margaret smile and go back to her magazine. I loved the idea of spending time with my son but I didn’t want it to be like this. I really wished things were better. I understood it must not be easy for Ariana knowing how Nate had come to be.No woman would be comfortable with the idea plus Flora was her sister.We all chatted a little with Barbara inclusive and then the doctor came in and discharged me with a warning to take things easy as I wasn’t totally in the clear. I was still to be heavily under medications but I couldn’t ask for much. I had brought this upon myself due to my recklessness.I was eager to go home and begin afresh with Ariana. Perhaps this w

ARIANA’S POVThere was a look of pain in Rob’s eyes but he knew I was telling the truth and I could see it in his eyes. It was the truth. I was scared of going there with them and having to feel inadequate and like a misfit. As long as Margaret Vanderbilt was there, it would be impossible to not feel out of place and like a fish out of water.“Ariana…no one is trying to make you Flora, we just want you to be you…only you”, Rob said.I scoffed and began to walk upstairs. He was just saying what he thought I needed to hear and I needed more than that. This was years of trauma and a few words was not going to change that. Rob was trying though. I had to ac

ARIANA’S POVI was too stunned to reply immediately and just continued hugging him, drinking in his scent then he pulled away from me and looked at me.I was about to answer when Rob walked up to us. I hadn’t even heard the sound of his footsteps and was startled to see him. “Having fun without me?” He joked innocently.I was happy for the distraction; I would have lied to Nate had he not showed up and I would not have liked that. I cleared my throat and watched as Nate quickly leaned into Rob.I cleared my throat and said, “I’ll join you guys later”, then I walked back into the room.When I entered the room, I rushed into the bathroom and began to sob. I felt like I was being assaulted by an avalanche of emotions. I was angry at Rob for having an affair with Flora but here was I loving his little son because I could not hate on an innocent kid.Nate had never done anything wrong to me and I was partly angry at my parents for keeping him away from me simply because he was a product o

ROBERT’S POVI was mad at Ariana and could not even control my rage. She was supposed to be watching him! Had she been trying to hurt him on purpose? Because why on earth was, she playing such a dangerous game with a child? Ariana should have known better and I was hurt. Nate was rushed to the nearest hospital where he was quickly taken to the ER.Margaret and Mr. Vanderbilt were panicking and adding to my fears and worries. We had all driven Nate to the hospital together leaving Ariana behind at the resort.I did not want to see her and felt she had done it on purpose. It was obvious she had simply been pretending to like Nate all these while and had decided to hurt him the first choice she got. “How did this happen?” Mr. Vanderbilt asked me for the umpteenth time. I continued shaking my head, saying nothing. Too angry to talk and wanting to shield Ariana from Margaret’s wrath.“He was with Ariana, he called her and she went to him. Did Ariana have a hand this?” He asked me again t

ARIANA’S POVI could not make sense of the words Rob was telling me. They were alienating me again, making me out to the bad guy, tainting Nate’s love for me. He was going to come out of that hospital room thinking I abandoned him for an “important trip”. I didn’t deserve this cold treatment from all of them. What was wrong with Rob? He was the one who had distracted me! Why was he choosing to hurt me in this cruel manner?“Don’t freak out, we can settle this in Chicago”, he told me now.“You dragged me out here Rob…” I was trying so hard to stop the tears from falling from my eyes but it was really difficult because I was d
