2024-10-29 19:42:56I hum to the song on the radio as I drive to Gray's. I'm meeting him in his office and for some silly reasons I'm feeling hot in unsual places.
Just thinking about his text and most of the silly things we've done together , I really wanna have him in his office. I know I'm beginning to sound weird but hell, I don't care. He changed me and I sort of like my new me. I breathe in and park my car amidst other cars. I look at the tall glass building and ogle at it. I mean this is Gray Carter we're talking about. I should at least expect this type of magnificent buildings from him. I breathe in and step out of the car. I shut the door and walk into the company.
I stop at the reception to see a brown haired lady. She looks up at me and scowl. What's her problem ?
" I'm sorry , I'm here to see Gray." I say politely.
" Are you Ariel ?" She scowls, eyeing my choice of outfit.
" Yeah. I'm here to see Gray."
" Yea

" Where's Gray ?" Reid asks me as he glances from me to Sarai." He's not in." I reply and cross my arms." Then why are you here ?" He asks me." None of your business , Reid. I'm sure he's speaking with Mr. Tucker. You can look for him around." I say.He huffs and stares at Sarai before leaving." What are you doing here ?" I ask Sarai again. She gives me her fake smile and walks out from the desk." I am here to see Gray."" Gray's not here. Why are you holding a flashdrive ?"" The last time I checked , you're Ariel Peterson and not a detective. What's your issues ?"I cross my arms and blink my eyes at her. She's so weird. Deep down , I have this feeling she is working secretly for Reid." Can I see the flashdrive ?"" Why should I give it to you ? It's a business drive that contains information about Gray's clients. I was here to check before you barged in."" You were frigh

I groan helplessly and scrub my scalp rather too aggressive to wash away the eggs . This is frustrating. I shampoo my hair to get rid of the eggs under the shower. God remind me next time not to play this type of game with Kennedy. Gray steps under the shower with me and I least expected that. I mean there are two shower faucets in the bathroom.He scrunches his face and scrubs his hair. Kennedy broke an egg on his head. So gross." She's so crazy..." He mutters scrubbing hard on his scalp.I roll my eyes and turn around to back him as I wash my hair." Lemme help you with that." He says behind me.My body tenses with Gray standing behind me. He massages my scalp as the water rinse our body ." Why didn't you tell me Sarai was holding a flash drive yesterday when she entered my office ?" He asks. I bite my lip and sigh." I'm sorry. I just don't wanna complicate things between you and your worker."" How did you fin

That's so embarrassing. Gray and I pull away from each other and I rub my nape. Most people look at us and go back to their business murmuring amongst themselves." How was your ride ?" I ask her and squat to her height." It was fun."" Who bought you popcorn ?" Gray asks looking down at her." I bought it. From my cursing savings if you choose to ask." She rolls her eyes and stuff her mouth filled with popcorns." How long have you been standing there ?" Gray asks." Long enough to count the stars in one night. You should see your faces. Chill , you look cute." She giggles.I blush and eat my cotton candy." Want some ?" I ask Gray." Hell no." He whines and shove his hands into his front pocket." Come on buddy , you don't wanna turn my offer down." I whisper to his ear. He groans and opens his mouth for me to stuff cotton candy in it." This taste terrible." He mutters ,

Gray parks his car in his garage and we get out. Kennedy rushes out of the car and race into the house." Crazy kid."" I bet she got that from you." I say closing my side door." I bet not. I'm not that crazy. She just literally broke someone's nose and act like it's nothing." Gray sighs and turns around to my side." You've killed people and act like it's nothing." I smirk and grab his jacket collar to pull him closer." Really ?" He raises his brows and seductively bites his bottom lip." Yeah." I reply and wrap my arms around his neck. He smell so good. His breath fans my neck and I close my eyes to lean into his gentle assault. His right hand move slowly on my thighs to my hips as he bites my earlobe." Gray , we're outside."" And this is my house." He whispers and suck the skin below my ear. I gasp to the feeling and tug on his hair. He licks my skin and suck on it moving down to my neck. I throw my h

I text Brandon and Piper that I'm leaving and apologize for not driving them back. Piper called and told me to go ahead that they're fine and not ready to leave. My phone rings and I pull it out from my pocket." Gray."" Are you still at frat?"" Yeah but I'm about leaving. Alexa sent me a text to meet her at school's lot."" Ariel , it's 10pm. You should come home."" Gray I need to discuss something with her. It's been long I last saw her and we need to talk." I say and slide into my car." Are you inside your car?"" Yeah."" Come home straight. You shouldn't go there. Manny just called me that he saw Vladimir's men around that frat house. Start coming home or I'm coming to get you."I blink my eyes to the information and look around the parked cars for anything that look like Vladimir. There's no one instead of fleet of cars around the park." Ariel."" How did you know?"" Manny is

I mutter to myself and smack the steering wheel at the stupid traffic. Alexa is in the hospital , but why? Did he shoot her? I sigh and look ahead of the traffic , vehicles already started moving.Gray chose to follow me but I refused. I wanted him to stay back while I rush to the hospital to check on her. I just hope she's okay. But what if she's not? They found her body on her doorpost. I speed past other cars and halt outside the hospital. I rush out of my car and shut the door furiously. I run into the hospital to the waiting room and Piper is waiting with Brandon." Ariel."" What happened? Where's she ?" I ask and take in deep breaths." She's in her hospital room. She got shot and someone dumped her almost unconscious body on her doorstep. The frat guys who returned from frat yesterday night found her unconscious and rush her here. We were informed yesterday but we had to check in today. The doctor in charge asked us to call her mom."

I watch Jhene help her baby with her bags. She won't stop glaring at me and it's totally annoying. What's her problem ? Yeah , because I'm dating Gray and she couldn't make him look at her.I ruffle Kennedy's hair and smile at her before slipping out of her room. I open Gray's bedroom door and walk in. He sits on his bed with a laptop on his lap and he's typing. I roll my eyes and shut the door." I thought you will stand there forever." Gray says as I walk to his bed." How come you notice everything ? Even the slightest thing ?" I ask and stand in front of him beside the bed.He chuckles and push the laptop aside from his lap. He grabs my waist and pulls me down on his lap." Where have you been ?" He whispers into my hair. " I've been looking for you all my life." He continues , caressing my thighs.I chuckle at his flirty attempt and smirk at him. He raises his brows and tilts his head to the side waiting for an answe

Daniel comes back to me and look at this new occupant. The other bartender already give him his drink." You want something?" Daniel asks the guy." How much did Gray pay you to look after his little girlfriend?" The guy asks Daniel." What do you really want , Cage ?" Daniel asks." Mind your business man , or I won't hold back to fuck you up." He threatens Daniel." If he do shit , call me okay. I'd better have Gray kill me or fire me than have you throw a punch at me." He directs his last statement to the guy before leaving.Cage or whatever his name is, chuckles and turns to look at me." Why did Gray have to bring you here , Ariel?"" How did you know my name?"He chuckles again and chug half his drink." You are Gray's. Who doesn't know you. You shouldn't have come here in the first place . The fact that you're in his club doesn't mean they can't hurt you." He winks and smirks." I don't know wh

SIX YEARS LATER I drop my car key on the kitchen counter and run my hands down my hair. Being a mom is so difficult and hard. Haven is always getting into one trouble or another. Last week, his teacher reported him for getting into a fight with an older kid. Gray is barely bothered. ” Look mom , I’m sorry.” Haven whines as he follows me. ” Go to your room.” I turn around and glare at him. Today , he got into another fight because the eight years old kid called him names. He’s got a terrible temper. One I’ve never seen before. Gray wasn’t like this or maybe Gray was worse when growing up. I remembered he said he got kicked out of several highschool because of his fighting and I can’t withstand seeing Haven being kicked out. I squat to his height and run my hand down his black hair. He looks like Gray. Same grey colored orbs. Hair and even his father’s facials. ” Haven , you don’t fight at school, it's wrong

Chapter 110 " What's up with you Ariel?" Piper beams as I slide into the booth next to Brandon. Piper and Alexa sit across from us at our usual restaurant ' sands and winches'. It's been a long time since we hung out together in this restaurant. All thanks to life. " I've been good." I say with a big smile as I arrange my yellow sundress. " What's up with you guys? I swear I miss college so much." I sigh and bite my bottom lip. " Fuck college. It's just been the same boring shit. How are you holding up with online classes?" Brandon asks. " It's been great." I say.

CHAPTER 109 |•GRAY•| I still can't believe what I'm seeing. I battled death for over six months and when I finally won , I decided to check on the one girl who makes me happy and she's pregnant. Like fully pregnant. How can she do that? " You're pregnant?" I ask her. She stares at me like I'm a ghost and I can't fight back the anger that I had to come check on her the moment I was okay and she's pregnant. Who the fuck got her pregnant? Cage? Or maybe some dimwit. " Who the fuck got you pregnant?" " You're serious?" She asks me. It hurts me that she's barely concerned about my reaction to finding her pregnant after waking up from a six months coma. " Ariel, who got you pregnant?" I ask her. " I'm sorry." She simply states. " You're sorry? Ariel you're pregnant and you're saying you're sorry. I was in a co

Chapter 108 Six months later… " Dear God, I wanna say that I'm grateful for everything that you've done for me. I wanna appreciate the fact that you looked after me and Gray junior, I totally appreciate that. I've sinned against you and I'm sorry. I just wanna ask the same favor I've been asking for the past six months. Please bring Gray back. I want him back…" I sniffle and look down at my baby bump. " His baby wants him back. Please. I know that he has done a lot of stuff. Bad stuff , yes, but please he's a good man. It's been six months now and I'm still asking you for this little favor. I want Gray back, please, God." I weep silently and bite my lip. I look up at Jesus on the cross and look down at my belly. Dad walks beside me and wraps his arms around my shoulder to comfort me. He woke up from a coma five months ago and Gray's still missing. The first month , I always hoped. Stand opposite my

CHAPTER 107 ” Oh my God…” I groan and rush into my bathroom to throw up. I rest both hands on the edge of the sink and puke out whatever thing I ate. What is this called, baby sickness? I breathe in and out and look up at my reflection. ” You’re okay in there?” Alexa calls out. ” Yeah. I’m just having baby sickness I think.” ” Baby sickness? What the fuck is that?” Alexa asks and walks into the bathroom. I turn on the faucet to let it rinse out my vomit as I wash my hands. ” I think it’s because of Alejandro. We killed someone.”” Seriously? You regret that now?” She asks. I turn off the tap and turn to look at her. ” I didn’t mean that. Maybe it upset the baby.” I shrug as she chuckles. I laugh and walk to her as we walk out of the bathroom to my room. I remove my peacoat and toss it on the couch. Alexa pushes the drapes aside to reveal the city below. ” Damn. That was crazy. At fir

CHAPTER 106 I sit opposite Alexa on the kitchen stool as she goes about her plan on Alejandro. My phone rings and I pick it up from the countertop. My heartbeat stops at the caller ID. Oh God, what am I supposed to tell her? " What? Who's that?" " Mia." " Holy fuck." She sighs and runs her fingers through her hair. " What am I supposed to tell her? I'm just gonna break it once I hear her voice. She's obviously gonna ask me where Gray is and I'll start crying again." I say. I haven't talked to her and I'm about to sob. " Just calm down and act normal." I nod and take several deep breaths as I answer the call. " Oh my God Ariel. How are you?" She asks on the phone. I inhale and sigh. I wipe a tear that slip out of my eyes at once. " I'm good, Mia. How are you?" " I'm fine. How's the baby? Hope you're eating well? Pregnancy is worse than a heavy toll.

CHAPTER 105 " Emergency! Someone's getting a panic attack!" The voice is muffled and I barely can hear anything. I lay on a stretcher as I'm pushed down the hospital's hallway. I watch the ceilings pass by as I try to breathe. I can't breathe. Everything is blurry as the stretcher continues to move. Two paramedics surround me , talking non-stop and giving me promises that I'll be fine. The next minute, I'm in a room with doctors and nurses trying to give me treatments. Gray's been shot. I can't even think of losing Gray without telling him he's gonna be a father soon. " What's happened to Gray?" I choke out as a nurse tries to press me back down to steady my breathing. " Someone get her an oxygen mask!" The doctor yells. " She needs a tranquilizer..." The doctor mutters and snaps at another nurse. I feel my hands tremb

CHAPTER 104 |•GRAY•| This is so fuckin crazy. I can't imagine sitting across from Sinclair to eat dinner in some fancy restaurant. This is so fucked up. I'm pretty sure we're both gonna flip and cause a scene. Why did he have to be her father? I watch her get up from my lap as she smiles triumphantly. I bet she did a victory dance in her head. Oh man. The doorbell rings at once. She smiles and walks to the door. Probably the delivery guy who's here to deliver the food she ordered. My phone rings and I retrieve it. Reid's name displays on my screen as I swipe the answer icon. " Hey dick." He says once I pickup. " Seriously?" I scoff. I hear Ariel converse with the delivery guy and they are taking too long. " What are you doing?" He asks and i roll my eyes. I'm still stressed abo

CHAPTER 103 " Ariel, I'd rethink my decisions if I were you…" Alexa says as I bring out the pills from the drawers. " When did you buy these?" She asks. " Two days after I discovered I was pregnant." She sighs and sits on the bed. " You know when Leslie was pregnant, you hated the fact that she had to terminate the baby. You can't play that same role you talked about." I sigh and turn around on my seat to look at her. " But Gray doesn't want a baby." " Both of you produced Junior. You both had sex like every other partners and boom there comes a baby. You're gonna tell him that you're pregnant. If he freaks out and tells you to get rid of it , then it's fine." " Oh God." " Don't you want the baby?" She asks. " I don't know. Right now, I don't even know what I want." " Okay, forget the fact that Gray doesn't want a baby, do you want to keep the baby?" " Who w
