11. Experiment

Ariana struck the man's hand hard enough that her own hand hurt afterward. "What are you doing?!" the man asked in a drowsy voice. Ariana turned over, her head turning to the right to look at the face of the stranger who was now her husband. "I should be asking you. What are you doing?!" she retorted sharply, accusingly. "Didn't you say last night that you would take me home?" Instead of answering, the man slid closer and nestled his head against Ariana's neck, wrapping his arms around her waist and entwining his legs tightly. He didn't seem bothered at all. "I did take you home, dear. I brought you to bed, and I even kindly took off your clothes. What's wrong?" he said with a muffled voice against the curve of Ariana's neck. Ariana shuddered at his breath. "But why bring me here? Why not take me to the apartment?" Ariana now spoke softly. "Because your home is here. Where your husband is," he replied curtly. "Don't forget that I married you as a stand-in for Karenina," Ariana r

12. Someone Calling Her 'Mommy'

Ariana lightly slapped both of her cheeks. Oh God, what had she just done? Making out? It felt like more than just making out. It hadn't even been 24 hours since she became this man's wife, and she had already done such... "Aaarrrggghhhh..." Ariana stifled her restrained scream. She swore she felt embarrassed, even though she didn't want to admit it. The man had taught her such wicked things. For God's sake, Ariana had never been touched by any man before. So why had she behaved like a loose woman, allowing herself to be kissed and touched by a stranger? Okay, not entirely a stranger. He was her husband now. And Ariana hadn't committed any sinful act, even though she had gone further than that. But the man was still a stranger. Despite his status as her husband. All Ariana knew about him was his name, Gerald Zeroun. She barely knew anything about his job, age, and she couldn't even remember the name of the old woman, Rosaline Zeroun, who was apparently his grandmother. As for the w

13. Axel Zeroun (1)

"Axel is not my biological son." Gerald's answer made Ariana look up. Her eyes looked at Gerald confusedly. "I have a brother. His name is Axelo Darrel Zeroun. He is four years younger than me. One time, he got drunk and made love to a girl. He said she was his classmate on campus. We thought it was just a one-night stand. You know the society of today's young people. But it turns out our guess was wrong. Darrel is really into that girl. He was willing to give everything to the girl. My father didn't accept it. He wanted Darrel to focus more on his studies and work at the company. An unsanctioned love and typical youth rebellion. Darrel chose that woman over his family. This situation happened about five years ago. Darrel's age is the same as you are now. At that time, I didn't know. I am busy with my studies and work abroad. I didn't know about Darrel's rebellion because no one told me. And Darrel also changed into a more closed person at that time. Then, something happened. Fat

14. Axel Zeroun (2)

Ariana sighed deeply. "I don't have a choice, do I?" she asked, then shook her head. "You really didn't give me a choice," she said sharply. "All the decisions are in your hands. That's the contract you've given me. I just need to act like I love and care for the child, and voila, the child becomes yours." Ariana snorted. "I can do it, help you. And in return, don't interfere with my personal life." Ariana closed the folder and handed it back to Gerald. "Where are you going?" he asked when he saw Ariana getting up. "To fill my stomach. I don't want to die of hunger and make you a widower anytime soon," she said casually and left the room. This was the first time Ariana had set foot outside the room. Yesterday, when she entered the house, she was unconscious. She wasn't even aware that she had been undressed by her husband. Now Ariana was left wondering where to go. She knew she was on the second floor. Her phone displayed a little past six o'clock. Ariana decided to go downstairs.

15. Tempting

Gerald had neatly parked the car in front of Leonida's. However, it turned out that his promise was false because instead of returning home, he casually led Axel inside the restaurant. Ariana's employees, who were busy wiping tables and setting up utensils, were surprised by her presence. The attention of the staff was drawn to her because of her boss's somewhat elegant appearance in an oversized sweater and a knee-length skirt. She rarely wore skirts while working, except for occasions that she considered "complicated" and required her to wear such attire. "Hey, last night, what happened?" Bryan, one of her waiters who was wiping glasses in one corner of the restaurant, asked. "Did you get possessed by something as a newlywed?" Ariana replied with a sly tone, making the young man unbelieving. "Is Amber here?" Ariana ignored his astonishment. "She's in the back with the boys," he answered. "But seriously, were you really possessed by a newlywed spirit, Miss?" He asked incredulous

16. Axel Dear...

Ariana groaned. "Let me remind you, dear Mr. Gerald. In case you forgot, I've already showered. So, of course, I smell good." Ariana tried to keep her voice regular, even though she wanted to sigh, especially now that Gerald's lips teased her. Kissing the side of his neck and behind his ear. If only the man's legs weren't holding him back. Maybe Ariana had fallen on the floor because her knees suddenly felt weak. "You said... Oh My God Ariana!" Amber's screams rang through the room. She, who had suddenly opened the door, was shocked by the condition of Ariana and a man who was stuck together, pressed against the wall like lizards mating. Ariana tried to push Gerald, but the man still didn't move where he was. Maintaining their position makes people think they are being perverted. "Who are you?" The question just came out of Axel. The three adults forgot about Axel's presence, who had been swallowed by the back of the sofa. "What's wrong with Mom and Dad?" His green eyes looked at Ge

17. Sleep

Ariana glanced at the tables in the lower part of her restaurant. It was a little past twelve. The tables downstairs were almost completely filled with customers. A sense of pride crept into her heart. Even though her venture had only been established in the last two years, seeing the increasing enthusiasm of the visitors day by day, Ariana felt immensely grateful. Considering the two years prior, Ariana couldn't believe that everything had come this far. It hadn't been without challenges. Frankly, Ariana herself had been quite pessimistic at the beginning. But with the support of her mother, who guided her and directed the business with her own personal experiences, Leonida’s had become what it was now. What Ariana liked most about working in the kitchen was seeing the happy smiles on people's faces as they ate her food. Of course, Ariana didn't lie when she admitted she enjoyed the compliments thrown her way and her team's way. Among all of this, working in the kitchen made Ariana

18. Flashback

A few moments before the wedding, Gerald purposely approached Ariana's father, his future father-in-law, for a private conversation. "I may not be a high-class entrepreneur like you, Gerald," the middle-aged man said. "In fact, my business is nothing compared to what you have now. I wasn't surprised when Gerald chose to marry Karenina. My daughter, unlike Ariana, was raised differently. Karenina is clearly more suitable to be the wife of someone like you." "I'm also sure that finding someone like Karenina wouldn't be difficult, considering the connections you have. So, I'm puzzled myself, why is Gerald forcing Ariana to replace Karenina?" Bradley's face showed curiosity as he looked at Gerald. "Because it's his duty as an older brother to help his sister and his mother," Gerald replied flatly. Bradley shook his head. "I'm a father. I'm a businessman, just like Gerald. Although I'm not as wealthy and smart as Gerald. But I know, that's not Gerald's goal with this marriage." Gerald

19. Chris

The tall and slim man dismounted his motorcycle, placing his helmet on the mirror and greeted Ariana warmly. "Hello, chubby. Est-ce que je te manque? (Do you miss me?)""Bien sûr!" (Of course!), Ariana exclaimed, throwing herself at the man in front of her. "The longer you're away, the more fluent you become and you look like a stranger." Ariana raised her head and looked at Chris with admiration. She then rubbed both sides of Chris's arms, clad in a leather jacket, and exclaimed, "Oh, look at your muscles. It seems like they're getting bigger as you get older." She teased him.Chris just nudged Ariana's head playfully. "Watch your words," he said. Ariana just chuckled.Folding her arms in front of her chest, Ariana looked at Chris scrutinizingly. "When did you come back? Why are you here? Are you planning to leave again?" she interrogated. Chris sat on his motorcycle seat, looking back at Ariana with his arms folded in front of him as well."I just got back, and you're already asking

20. Story

"The day has already turned late. After a lunch, more precisely called dinner, Ariana asked Chris to take her wherever the man went. And here they are. In Chris's luxurious apartment. Ariana is enjoying the beauty of the city lights from several hundred meters above. Chris's apartment on the twenty-fifth floor has its own beautiful view. "It must be expensive to live here," Ariana comments without taking her eyes off the streets far below. "What's the point of my dad having a lot of money if it can't be enjoyed?" the man answers arrogantly." "Ariana scoffed. 'I thought you'd be living in a one-bedroom apartment or something,' she commented again. Considering Chris's less-than-ideal relationship with his father, Ariana had thought her friend would be independent. 'But I forgot that you're a super rich kid. So, it's only natural to have a fancy apartment like this palace.' There was a hint of sarcasm in Ariana's words that made Chris chuckle. He tousled Ariana's hair casually. He st
