Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER SIXTEEN: Visitor
ARIEL'S POV "Morning, baby," I greets as I watch Aiden awaken from his slumber, using his hand to rub his eyes and yawning like a baby. Moving closer to me, he gives me a very passionate kiss. "Mmm, morning kisses, I like it." After we disengage from the kiss, I get out of bed, and he asks me where I'm going. I tell him I need to run an errand for Alex.Taking a deep breath, I remember his third request: "I'm craving Pozole from Los Ojos Restaurant in Jamez Spring." "Oh, no," I mutter, unable to believe I would have to embark on a two-hour drive just to get some soup. He's such a jerk."Do you want me to go with you? I might just take a day off work," Aiden proposes, and I can't believe how romantic he's being. Moving closer to him, I give him another kiss, and we both chuckle before I get up from the bed and head to the bathroom."Don't worry, I've got this," I say as I enter the bathroom to take care of my business.After dressing up, I bid Aiden goodbye and leave to get the soup.
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Devil's Temptation
WILLIAM'S POVOn arriving at Alex's house, I am mesmerized by how huge it is; grandfather has given it to him as a wedding present. "You have such a nice house," I compliment."Thanks," he replies, and we head inside, where we find his wife serving food on the dining table. As soon as she sees me, she quickly stops and comes over to greet me."Hi," she greets with a lovely smile, and now I finally get to see her clearly. I must say, she is a real beauty."Hi," I return her greeting."It's really nice to have you here in our humble home. I think you are the first family member to visit us here, and that makes me even more grateful for your visit," she says warmly."Really? Wow, that's really an honor and I think I deserve an award for that," I reply to her jokingly, but Alex doesn't interfere in our conversation and just heads upstairs. I and his wife's eyes follow him, and then I shift my gaze back to her. I can see a look of disappointment on her face."Pardon my manners, I'm William,
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: Heartbreak
Rolling around the bed, I can't seem to get any sleep as memories of the kiss with Alex replay over and over in my mind. Although it's just a kiss, it still feels so amazing.“But Ariel, aren't you cheating on your boyfriend?” A pang of guilt hits me as my subconscious questions, but I decide to brush it off since it's just a kiss and it's not like I actually have sex with him.“Oh, the family dinner.”I suddenly remember that today is the family dinner. Without hesitating, I spring out of bed and rush out to find Alex and I meet him with Killian, already dressed.“Good morning,” Killian greets me, and I also return his greeting.“Are you going to work? Thought it's the weekend,” I say, trying to shake off any lingering awkwardness from the previous night, but it definitely feels impossible to do so.“Yes, something came up at work, so I need to go,” he explains, and this time I can see him flashing some smiles at me but just trying not to make it obvious to Killian.“I just want to re
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER NINETEEN: The Only One By My Side
ALEX’S POV"That seems to be your wife. Why didn't she come in?" Bella asks as she checks my temperature again. I let out a light sigh, feeling better."She must be in a bad mood," I joke."Alex, I think you need to open up more. You need to let someone in to help you, or else you'll be haunted by this trauma for the rest of your life," she says, sounding very dramatic.I raise my head from the pillow and move closer to her, whispering, "Isn't it getting late? I think you need to go home, or else your husband will start imagining things about the two of us."Bella chuckles at my comment and then stands up, grabbing her bag. As she is about to leave, she turns back to me and says, "You need to let go of her and find peace of mind.""How will I do that? I've been trying, but it's just so hard," I ask, knowing it's really going to be hard to let it go."No, it isn't. You just need to stop blaming yourself for her death and start living your own life," she says before finally opening the d
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY: HIS TRUAMA
ARIEL'S POVAfter a long day at work, I receive a message from Jessica and I dial the emergency number immediately, then rush to her house. Upon arrival, I meet her almost dead with her son crying beside her, and I can't find that bastard anywhere."It's fine, the ambulance will soon be here," I reassure as tears flow down her swollen face.As the ambulance arrives, the paramedics request that I step back, allowing them to attend to Jessica. I lift Jamie in my arms and follow them into the ambulance.In the hospital, I stand beside Jessica as the doctor provides treatment, watching her sleep peacefully."Ariel, I'm hungry," Jamie says."Stay here with mommy, and let me get you something to eat," I say, lifting him off my lap and placing him back in his seat, then step out to get some snacks for Jamie.On my way back, I spot the woman I saw with Alex the previous night. Wait....she’s a doctor and still engaged in an affair with someone else's husband. Our eyes meet briefly, but I quickl
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: Death
ALEX'S POVI watch Ariel as she dishes out the food. Trying to scare her, I tiptoed from behind.“Boom,” I tried to scare her, but she only looked at me smiling.“I’m already aware of your presence,” she said, and I felt disappointed by that.“Mind helping me out here?”I moved closer and then picked up the food she had dished out and served it on the dining table. I had decided to be nice to her since she saved me yesterday. It's not that I have any crazy feelings here, but I just think she is a good person, unlike the bitch she called a sister.Looking at her from behind, I wondered why she went through such experiences. She seems wonderful and kind-hearted, so why did all those bad things happen to her? I know I'm not a good person, and that's been the reason for what happened with Vanessa, and I won't make that mistake again. I won't allow another woman to suffer because of me.As I am serving the dishes, a message comes in on her phone, and I peep at it.“Happy birthday love, pic
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO: BIRTHDAY OUTING
A soft smile plays on my lips as I watch her stir in her sleep. Now I can see her beautiful face very clearly: high cheekbones, a beautiful curved jawline, and a pointed nose. I use my fingertip to trace the contour of her nose, and just then, her eyelids flutter open, and our gazes meet. Seeing me, she lets out a soft smile.“We have a lot of places to be today, so you need to get up,” I announce, which surprise her since I hadn't mentioned any plans before.“I’ve no idea about that. Where exactly are we going?” she asks, but I only respond with a sly wink before standing up from the bed and heading to the bathroom.After finishing my bath, I can't find Ariel on the bed, indicating she's returned to her room. I pick up my phone and dial Killian's number.“Where exactly are you?”“Almost there,” he replies and then I end the call.After dressing up, I head to Ariel's room, and as I'm about to knock, the door opens, revealing Ariel. As i lay my eyes on her I froze, with my heart flutte
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE: Visiting In-Law's House
Memories of yesterday's outing keep flashing back, and I let out a light smile as I brush my teeth. But something is bothering me, and that is why Alex seems to be bothered about his mom. It's just like he doesn't want her to talk to me or communicate with me.My eyes glance back to my phone, and I see the time is already past eight. I quickly rinse my mouth, take my bath, and then storm out of the bathroom to quickly dress up.Not sure about what to wear, I decide to go with a white suit and suede red heels and a red bag. I know it looks quite flashy, or should I say reddish, but this is still my choice for today.I check myself in the mirror one more time, and now satisfied with my look, I pick up my bag and proceed to the door, where I meet Alex with his hand hanging in the air as if he wants to knock.“Hi.”“Hi,” he replies, his gaze on me, and I'm sure he is checking me out.I gently tuck my hair behind my ear as my heart suddenly beats faster.“I didn't know you were going to wo

Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT: CAUGHT RED-HANDED
EMELIA'S POV"Good morning!" I greet as I gently sit beside the bedside and place a kiss on his forehead.Killian moves to raise up his head and draw me nearer, slamming his lips on mine, and we exchange a passionate kiss."Breakfast is ready," I inform him as I break away from the kiss and then stand up from the bed, holding his hand and dragging him up."I think I still need a lot of sleep right now," he says as he uses his hand to rub his eyes like a kid, but I drag him into the bathroom."You better be fast before the food turns cold. My microwave is no longer working," I lie because I know that is the only way to make him come out of the bathroom very quickly.I head outside the room to the kitchen and then dish out the food and then serve it at the dining table. As I serve the food, Killian comes out of the room with his hair dripping and his shirt unbuttoned, showing his perfect six-pack, and I can't help but admire him and keep on staring at him."That’s already full," his voi
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN: THE CONFESSION
ALEX'S POVAs I emerge from the car, my gaze meets Aiden's, who trembles in fear immediately he sees me. I don't say much as I approach him, but just ask him why he’s here.“Why are you here? I thought I already made it clear to you the last time, so what exactly brought you back to my house?”“She invited me.”I look at Ariel, who keeps banging the car, trying to get out.“That doesn't look like an invitation to me,” I say as I slowly move closer to him, wrap my hand around his neck, and then lead him to my car.As the car moves, I can see him already trembling, and he gathers a lot of courage to even say the words he said.“Where are we going?”“A place where we are going to have a nice conversation. I doubt you knew there was a CCTV on the house and I was watching everything” “I'm sorry, I really had no plan to take it but Ariel gave it to me, I refu….”“Save it.”The car suddenly stops, and I hear a knock on the door. Rolling down the glass, I see Lex.“What should we do with him
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY-SIX: BREAKUP
WILLIAM'S POV “Am i interrupting something?" I interrupt the two friends' conversation, which they seem to be having about Ariel breaking up with a guy. As she raise and sees me, she quickly springs up from her seat with a wide smile."No, of course you are not. Thank you for making it here," she said, and I wonder why she always smiles.“ You are welcome.”“ This way please,” she lead the way while I follow her.Ariel takes me round the gallery, showing me their artwork, but I just keep my gaze fixed on her while she explains the story behind the artwork. On sighting a thread on her hair, I lean in closer to her and help her to pick it out. She stops in her tracks immediately she feels a touch on her hair and looks at me, and I show her the thread I removed.She lets out a small smile and then continues. After showing me all the artworks, I decide to buy everything.“You are buying all the artworks?” She exclaims with her loud voice filling the entire room, and everyone's eyes are
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: VIP CUSTOMER
ARIEL'S POVThe journey home is very silent as I’m burning with fury right now. If perhaps he had listened to me, we wouldn't have been stuck in that dark place.“I'm sorry.”“There’s no need for that; your actions clearly show that you don't feel comfortable at my home, and that’s why you insisted on leaving,” I replied angrily with my arms crossed, looking through the window.“Ok, let me just tell you the truth. I don't like a stuffy place, and I don't think I’ll be able to withstand it. Telling them about it, will feel off, that's why I insisted,” he explained, to which I’m still not satisfied with.As we get home, we meet Aiden's car outside, and I quickly ask Killian to stop the car. Killian parks the car, and I rush out to meet him. As it is already late at night, and I don't want any issues with Alex, as he might ask me why I brought him into his house, I suggest having our conversation in his car.I watch Killain drive in immediately when he sees Aiden approaching their car.“
Twist of Destiny: A Trial Of Love And Loyalty CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR: THE VISIT
WARNING!!! SMOKERS ARE LIKELY TO DIE YOUNG!ALEX'S POV"I think that is enough," I refuse the food that was brought to me as my stomach is now filled up from different dishes they serve.The food isn't rich, but the flavor is amazing. Ariel's family is… modest, yeah, very modest with a small house filled with a larger number of family members. And I wonder if anyone has ever died of suffocation here. The house is not bad and has different rooms which seem to be smaller in size, just like a wardrobe."Are you sure you are okay now?" Ariel's mom asks me again, and I simply let out a small smile and give a nod as I gently caress my stomach that is now big.I find it rude to refuse food that they've served to me, and I feel that they might think I refused the food because they are not neat or perhaps not on my level. I shift my gaze to Ariel who seems to be in a deep conversation with her younger sister, whom I think she introduced herself to me as Laura."Thanks so much for today, we wil
