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.

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.

    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.“

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.

    "I can't believe you endured such a thing alone and kept it hidden from us. You should have told me, and I’d have ripped that bastard into pieces and fed it to the birds," Katherine vents angrily, gesturing dramatically how she’s going to rip Aiden apart, and we all chuckle as we all know she’s just bluffing. "Sweetheart, I'm truly sorry for not being by your side," Caroline chimes in and I give her it’s okay look. I sigh in frustration as my mind drifts off to my family, my head bowed as I'm already imagining what’s happening at home right now. “I'm sure my parents must be angry, and Fiona will be burning with fury right now.” “Should we all go tomorrow and beg everyone until our knees are raw?"

    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.

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
