“Mr. Powers! How is it going around here?” Jace said as they do handshake.
“Everything is doing just fine around here Sir!”“That’s good to hear. Anyway you know where to reach me whenever anything unusual occurs here right?”
“But of course Sir!” And that’s when I realize that it is indeed his mall. Whew!“Mr. Powers, you can go back to your work I’ll just personally tour my family here!” Jace said as he carry Tara and put his arm around my shoulders and me holding Jacob.
“You have a lovely family Mr. Keller! Mrs. Keller!?!!” he said while giving me a genuine smile.

Arianne’s pov “Took you long enough!” Jace said when I was about to lay down on my bed. Wait what? It is my bed and I wonder why he’s here. “What are you doing here? In my bed? Jace?” To say I was surprised that he is still here is an understatement. He just shrugged. “To sleep?” “Jace what is this? What are we playing here huh?” “Yanna! Okay! You want to talk? Then let’s talk!” he said then he get up and sit indian style opposite of me. “What happened before that led us to this? You better tell me everything Arianne! I need to know everything!

Monday morning came. Arianne's kids are very excited to come to school. Because their daddy and mommy are bringing them both together. Tara didn't stop dragging her father and introducing him to everyone which Jace find it amusing. "I want to change the kids' last name into mine!" Jace said when they're about to reach work. "Fine with me! Are you sure you don't want any dna testing first?" Arianne said teasing him. "I don't think you would want anyone else but me babe!?!!" he said chuckling then playfully winked at her. Arianne rolled her eyes in return. When they reach the Keller Industries' building, the driver parked the car in front. Jace and Arianne both went down and as usual they both had the same formal face going to work. This is her first time to set foot in his territory so she is feeling giddy. She don't know how his employees would behave in front of her or if

Arianne shrugged when she felt two strong arms hold her by the shoulders. Actually, the arms is gently massaging her. She can't help but moan on the sensation her body is feeling with every stroke of it in her tiny body. “Hold it babe! I don’t want Mr. Fowler to hear you not especially when I’m pleasing you!” Jace whispered seductively in her ear. “Why? Does the greatest Mr. Keller get jealous?” Arianne said teasing him. “You know very well I don’t want to share you with anybody!” he said kissing her ear then bite it softly. “Too bad Mr. Keller we have kids that’s why you can't have me whenever you want!” “That I won’t mind babe! Even if we would have more of them in the near future!” he said then kiss her hungrily with which she answered back with the same intensity like his. Arianne thought it was just a make out session they’re sharing but Jace slightly drag her to his lounge inside his office and

Jace POV When we’re on our way to the hotel, Yanna received a text from Kristinn saying that they’re all already waiting for us in the hotel restaurant, Augustus’. When we arrived I gave my key to the valet and I carry Tara in my arm and hold Jacob in my free hand while Yanna is walking ahead of us in excitement. “Mama K!!!!! Mama Lexi!!!!!” the twins screamed when they see their godmothers which earned us a glare from the people inside but it all turned into a wide smile when they see that the reason for the noise are just kids who I possibly think are both good looking. “Tara! Jacob!” both Kristinn and Alexis screamed back as they open their arms to accommodate the kids. I look up to my friends who both had a confusion and disbelief written all over their faces. I decided to play along. “Mason! Kyle!” I called up to them bringing them back to earth

Arianne's POV "Babe can you bring me the documents needed for the Mantierra projects?" Jace said over the intercom. I bring him the files of course I didn't knock and he didn't complain so it's okay I think. But outside of this office, I am still not fond of being close to him. I mean how can I? I don't even know what exactly are we? I don't want him to feel uncomfortable with our situation either. Maybe I just have to bear being his baby mama and a sexual partner which I don't really mind! "Hi gorgeous! Come over here!" he said seductively as he motioned me to sit on his lap after I put the documents on the table in front of him. "No thank you! We actually have tons of work to do Jace and we have to hurry so we can leave early!" "Alright! But can I at least have a kiss? Please?" he said pouting his kissable lips. I get up of the ch

It’s seven already!” he said then smirk. “oh my seven? How about the kids?” “James called up and said he’s with the kids and they’re on their way home. Why you want another round?” he said more of teasing me. “You wish babe!” I said as I get up of the bed and headed to the bathroom. Luckily he didn’t follow me cause I still feel the soreness in me. I relax my body through the warm water. When I’m done with my shower, I put on my underwear and a robe. Then I wrapped my hair with a small towel. I was about to open the d

Arianne's POV When we arrived at the nightclub, we are being welcomed by the manager who introduced herself as Miss Trakovski. She looks like a human doll! Maybe because she looks like Russian. I don't know but I find them really good looking people I wonder who own the place, I have a guess though, maybe one of the guys whose with us. "Boss, the VIP table upstairs is already waiting for you and your friends!" she said smiling towards Kyle which he replied with a nod. Jace grab my hand and we followed our friends going upstairs. When we get inside I was amazed at how beautiful the room is. It has a glass window showing the inside of the club, from the entrance, the bar and even the dance floor. From the view inside I'm not going to wonder if the people outside wont be able to see us from where they're at. "Kyle this place is amazing!" I said tu

Arianne’s POV I got startled on the constant pounding on the door. Good thing it made me comeback to the present. For several days, I don’t actually have any idea exactly what day is today, all I know is that Jace, Natalia and their marriage are all over the news. That’s why I decided to lock myself in my room. I know it’s kind of selfish but really I don’t know how to face the world anymore most especially my two innocent children. Thank god for Dad and Riza, helped me telling the kids that I caught some virus that’s why I have to stay away from everyone. But I'm also hoping that the news about their father and his wife haven’t reached them yet. Until now, I still haven’t figure out how to explain it to my children. Or if I’m ready for any reaction that would come out from them. I’m very scared honestly! Scared on how will they take it that we can never have their father as often as we needed him because it would also be unfair to his wife.

After over an hour of weeping, Arianne collected herself and went to the comfort room to fix her appearance. She wash her face and put another set of makeup aiming to conceal her crying history not long ago. When she got contented with her professional look, she went to continue finishing her pending work. At lunchtime, she went to give Draco his phone and they left together to go and have lunch at the cafeteria. Draco look at her strangely but didn't say anything. He gently grab Arianne's hand and give it a squeeze. "Everything will be alright! Just be patient and give it some more time!" Draco said which made Arianne frowned.

Arianne's POV After I finished unpacking, I took a quick warm shower and got dressed. I'm so tired but I can't complain out loud. Maybe I just have to think of those two beautiful blessings I got. Well, since I get to have them, I've never been so happy and contented with my life. I started to look at life in a different but positive perspective. I then thought that everything I went through in life is on my fate. I need to get hurt physically and emotionally for me to appreciate what is good in my life now. After I gave birth to what I can call blessings, I've been considering fate as what really made me today. It is my fate to be born on this world as the daughter of my mom and also my fate to crossed path with Jace. If my mom wasn't my mom then I wouldn't have my dad as my dad.

Arianne's morning started with a thud. She was on her phone reading news when one article stole her attention. The article said that the Keller Industries CEO, Jace Keller, was seen partying in a popular nightclub in Vegas. Then the next scene was that he was again seen leaving a hotel room with an unknown woman in the early morning after the party. She tried her best to calm herself but she failed. What's happening? Last night Jace didn't call her. So is that what he really like? If he don't like her anymore or got tired and sick of all her life dramas, why acted like that? He could've talked to her and ended things easily. Yes, they have children! But she believed that in order for them to raise their children well, they have to be at least comfortable with each other. And how is that if he did what he obviously did? How can she explain it to her children? Will they understand everything? Will they rebel? Getting up, Arianne called Draco and inform him that
