"Don't say that my love. He's only trying to put me up against you. The truth is, he had asked me to choose between you and my inheritance."Ariana had known this already. She had in fact listened to the whole conversation. She stood by the door of Calhoun's office eavesdropping on them. She couldn't believe her ears. Calhoun chose her over his inheritance? Was there any man who could do that? But this was not any man. Ariana stopped what she was doing and went over to Calhoun. She held out his arms and placed them around her. They both looked into each other's eyes. "I know how difficult it was to have made that decision," Ariana's voice was soft and gentle. "But I think you should really think it over again. If you let me go, you'll have nothing to lose-"Calhoun pressed his finger gently over her mouth before she could finish her speech. "Don't you understand what's happening?" Calhoun said, "it's us against them, against the whole world. I'm not going to leave you simply becaus

Chapter 153

The Lawson's second mansion was a sight to behold. The automatic sensor gates that opened up as the car drove in revealing the gigantic trees that waylayed side by side was intimidating enough. Straight ahead was a beautifully sculptured fountain. Some birds played around but flew off as soon as the car approached. The building itself, a three storey tower, was a palace with no visible guards. There were CCTV cameras almost everywhere. Some were noticeable, others, probably most, were not.When Ariana had gone for the family dinner the last time, it was a different house.The guards, Ariana would come to understand, where somewhere in a room, watching the going in and out of everyone. There were two always on duty, and two others who switched shifts. Their duty was to monitor movements and report suspicions to the base, where a team of armed, trained and ever ready men were on alert. The security men needn't worry much. There was hardly any external threat to security. This was beca

Chapter 154

"Babe, You said you were going to take me back to the kitchen!" She whined as Calhoun pulled her towards the tree house. It was beautiful but the idea of having to go up the old wodden ladder scared her. What if one of the steps broke off while they were on it?"Calhoun!" She shrieked as she felt her legs leave the ground. "What are you doing?"Calhoun had lifted her into his arms so they could go faster. "Making you stop whining like a little baby," he said tickling her sides in the process. Ariana broke into a laugh as she playfully hit him on the back."Calhoun you are too old for this!" She said amidst laughter."I can never get old as long as I have you."They had gotten to the ladder and Calhoun went up with Ariana clutching unto his shoulders like her life depended on it. She still didn't trust the old little thing. It looked like it could fall apart in any minute.Fortunately such a thing didn't happen as Calhoun successfully took them to the final landing. He placed Ariana on

Chapter 155

"How about your uncles?" Ariana asked brushing off thoughts of Lily and her sons away from her mind."Well, there's uncle Benson who is married to Lily and then uncle Thomas.""Who should I run from?" Ariana joked. It sounded like a joke and she might have even meant for it to sound like a joke but she was really paying attention to the details he was passing on to her."Highest on the list is definitely Uncle Benson. He is Lily's husband," Calhoun explained."So Lily isn't your blood relative? Whoa..." Ariana wanted to ask why Lily commanded her husband and acted like the head of the family but she decided to hold her tongue. The last thing she needed was for someone to overhear their conversations. She wouldn't want grandfather to hear her speak of things that were none of her business."No, she isn't. She married into the family."Somewhere within the expanse of the large mansion, Lily watched the young lovers from one of the back windows with disdain in her eyes. Calhoun, the boy

Chapter 156

"Let's better get back to the house," Calhoun suggested, "by now grandfather must have been out of his study."Ariana took a final glance at the tree house as Calhoun held her hand, leading them down the rickity-rackity ladder. God knew how the housemaids got into the tree house to get it all cleaned up."Let's take a quick detour." Calhoun grinned as he led Ariana through to a garden where flowers flourished and grasses were ever green, even at summertime. The ground was soft and the air was different. Fresh."You're too slow," Calhoun called out and began to pace ahead like a child. Ariana smiled gayly. She knew what he was doing. She huddled up behind him trying to catch up. But Calhoun was too fast for her.Calhoun would turn and look backwards as he jogged through the garden. He did this so he could catch a glimpse of Ariana's hair floating in the wind and her shirt rising and falling, revealing her belly button as it did so.Calhoun saw that she couldn't catch up so he slowed do

"I can't go alone. You have to come with me!" Calhoun was saying as he paced around the room. Ariana remained silent. She was lost in thoughts of her own and she had no reply to give Calhoun yet."If I have to go for this business trip, then you have to come with me. I can't leave you here all alone?" He repeated, as he came to stand right in front of her. He tilted her head upward so he could stare deep into her eyes.How could his grandfather not see the love he had in his heart for Ariana? Or the love Ariana had in her eyes for him?"Ariana, pack up," he said with determination in his voice. He had made up his mind and he wouldn't go back on it. He couldn't leave Ariana alone with his family. Only the heavens could tell what they would do to her in his absence!But as he moved towards the wardrobe they had finished unpacking their clothes in earlier, he felt Ariana's soft fingers resist his pull. He turned back with a questioning glare dancing on his face. His gaze moved from her f

Chapter 158

Ariana wasn't sure she would survive the days ahead in the Lawson's resident anymore.It was just two days after Calhoun had left for the business trip grandfather had sent him too and the problems were already starting to gather in their numbers."I left my credit card in the kitchen and I can't find it anymore!" Matt, Calhoun's cousin yelled that afternoon.The entire family, including Ariana were all seated in the dinning having lunch when Matt burst in and started screaming about his credit card."Matt, first learn to greet before you start throwing accusations besides can't you see we have a guest?" Grandmother scolded him but his eyes were burning with so much anger none of her words could tame them."What guest?" Lilly scoffed from her side of the table and her husband snickered.Ariana, who had been trying to pay less attention to the embarrassing situation raised her head from her barely touched plate and saw that the entire family were staring back at her. She was confused.

Chapter 159

Bianca and Grandmother were already making to get on their feet as Elsie mentioned the camera when Lily shrieked."Matt!"Everyone stopped their movement and turned towards Lily. Even she didn't know what she was up to, but she had to stall the time long enough for one of her boys to wipe out that video. Ariana had not taken the credit card and she had totally forgotten about the cameras."What?" Matt growled."Did you perhaps check you room before coming to accuse the poor girl?" She said changing her tone to be somewhat sympathetic.Elsie got up and folded her arms across her chest. "What game are you playing at Lily?"Lily slapped a hand to her chest and turned towards Elsie, "games? You call this games?" She cried out. "The poor girl is being accused and i am trying to sort it amicably and yiu consider it to be games?"The wheels of the whole situation was changing and Ariana wasn't sure she could keep up anymore. What exactly was going on? Was Lily really being sympathetic toward

Chapter 160

"Sofia wouldn't even look at you twice," Noah said amidst the tearful cackle."Says the one who has had a thousand encounters, yet has left no impression," Matt fired back."Both of you, cut it!" Lilly ordered. "We've got a bigger fish to fry and you're here fighting over what's not really important for now. I told you we'll deal with Sofia's case later. Can't you see what I'm doing? It's all for the better good of you two. Don't you care that your share of inheritance is at stake?"Matt and Noah regained back their selves. But for the time being. Their mother was right. That silly wannabe girl cannot tap into their family's inheritance just like that. It's all they've been living for. They would have to die than allow some stranger snatch away that which was rightfully theirs. No way."I'll need you two to get yourself together," Lily continued, "I'll call on you when I need you. Matt did good today and he has gotten his reward. Noah, you're up next."Noah shrugged his shoulders dist

Chapter 161

Lily stood by the door as she watched, expectantly, little Rosa's reaction. Little Rosa had no idea what was about to hit her. There was immediately a loud sharp scream. Little Rosa was on the ground, rolling and crying. Bianca had heard the scream and she rushed out to her daughter. She didn't even notice Lily was standing by the doorway. The moment Bianca got to where little Rosa was, she stood still on one spot. As if stuck. She couldn't ask what had happened. Noah also came out. "What's going on here?" he pretended as if shocked as well. Bianca said nothing. She just gazed at the ground. Frozen. Little Rosa was still rolling and crying. Grandfather also came out and some few maids stood at a distance watching and whispering. "Bianca!" grandfather called out, "why have you decided to disturb my siesta today? I thought we've had enough drama for one day?" Bianca soon unfroze and pointed at something. "What's that?" grandfather drew closer to have a good look. As he got close,
