And with some help from their friends, they end up loving and caring for each other.

Alexis, is actually the top 3. And as for me, let's just say

"Yannaaaaa!!!! Do you really want me to beg? C'mon!" Deacon has been trying to convince Arianne to come with him to the club. "Dea you know I don't go out! It's not my thing!" "but Yanna you've been camping here in your room for three days already. Aren't you getting tired and sick of it?" "why would I? I have my books and if I want I could watch something in my laptop. Deacon I'm okay!" Arianne is one of those people who he cares so much. She is like a sister to him. They grew up together and they tend to watched each other's back. Deacon surely knows something is wrong with her. His Uncle James, Arianne's dad, told him that three days ago she went to attend her bestfriend, Kristinn's wedding. And when she came back, she's also back to being quiet. It really made him upset seeing her that way. That's why he was trying to get her out of her room.

Arianne was about to enter the restroom when someone grab her arm and drag her to the fire exit. Fear enveloped her right away but found relief when she recognized who it was. "who was that?" Jace said with a scowl surprising her. "Jace! I don't know what you're saying?" Arianne answered cluelessly. "the man on your table! Who is it? Are you dating him?" he spat holding her arm firmly. "that's Trent, a friend of ours! He's Deacon's bestfriend too!" her brows furrowed. So typical of Jace! After a few seconds of staring at her intensely he quickly let go of her arm and turn away. "Jace? Can we talk?" she called him hesitantly but hoping he'll hear her. He turn around with so much hatred in his eyes now. "what for? You already told me everything I need to move on with my life right?" he said bitterly. "I don't have any idea what you're saying Jace." She said and look down. The look in his eyes scares her a lo

Arianne's POV I woke up to Jace talking on his phone about his "ex-girlfriend" and the supposed to be closure for them. But how could that be? I am the ex that a few hours ago had surrendered herself fully to him. How can I be so stupid to think that in giving him my virginity, he will give us and our "love" a second chance? Closure? Yeah I guess that's what we really need! Maybe it's for the best if we at least be civil to each other. He's totally right, we have mutual friends and it'll be hard for us to ignore each other everytime we cross path. But seriously, I don't wanna be friends or civil with him. Jace is my first love. And I made a promise before that "I will love him, understand him and wait for him" until the end. Maybe I'd be a fool to say it now. But I think, only for him, I can let myself be broken and shattered by, ag

Arianne's pov After I send off Deacon, Mico and Trent at the airport for their flight, I decided to hit the mall. It’s been a long time since I’ve been to such place. I randomly look and bought some outfits that I will surely need for the future. I mean I’m planning to go to uni again so at least I needed some more decent outfits. After I’m done shopping, I excitedly look for a restaurant to have dinner. Few minutes later I enter an Italian resto, I took a table on the corner and ordered my all-time favorite, spaghetti bolognese. And when my food arrives, I happily dig into it. I don’t know what came through me but when I turn my eyes to scan my sorrounding, near the entrance, I got surprised to see him, Jace, looking like a handsome devil as usual. Sadly, he’s not alone. He’s on, I think, a date with a gorgeous blonde. My goodness

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. "I can tell how are you feeling at this particular moment, Arianne! Just so you know, I am your friend and I understand what you are going through!" Arianne never deny or admit what he was implying but she stopped her pace and hug Draco. "Thank you so much Draco! I'm going to missed working together with you!" "Yo

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.

The article said that the Keller Industries CEO, Jace Keller, was seen partying in a popular nightclub in Vegas.
