Chapter 51

Isabella"You expect me to sign this nonsense?" I spat, my voice echoing through the walls of the office. I received a call from Zayde's lawyer and he told me he wanted to see me. Little did I know that Zayde was serious with all that he said. And he meant everything he said when he was ranting. “Wow!!!” I screamed and my eyeballs almost fell out of its socket. In front of me were the divorce papers lying before me. After everything I had built and sacrificed, Zayde still went on to throw this I'm my face. Mr. Thompson, Zayde's lawyer, adjusted his glasses, and he looked so calm as he passed the news to me. "Ms. Isabella, these documents are standard procedure. Mr. Zayde believes this is the best course for both parties," he informed me. "Best course?" I echoed and laughter escaped me. I leaned back, crossing my arms as my eyes burned into him. "For whom? Certainly not for me. Didn't he tell you that I would never sign this? Why do you still insist on wasting your time?” I as

Chapter 52

Isabella"Enough is enough," I whispered to myself immediately I zoomed off away from the lawyer's office. I was not going to take it easy on any of them. I had waited too long for this and since Zayde has done his worst, I have no choice but to strike. It was that easy. I had access to a lot of secrets that would destroy the woman he was running to. I smiled at myself, holding the steering tight. This was going to destroy Ariana.Zayde thought he could discard me like trash, toss me aside and erase me from his life with a single signature. But he was wrong. He was dead wrong.He wanted to ruin me, but he forgot one thing, I could ruin him first. And I would.I pulled out my phone, my fingers trembling with rage as I dialed the number I had memorized long ago.The call connected almost immediately and it was more than enough to soot my spirit. "It's time," I informed the person. "I need the rest of that document. Now.""You know where to meet me," I snapped before ending the call.

Chapter 53

Isabella had ruined my life. She finally got what she wanted.I knew she hated me with everything in her, but doing this? Wasn't it too extreme?I stared at the suicide letter in front of me. I wrote down thoughts that filled more than half of the page, and my tears kept dropping, ruining the paper.I guessed it was time already for me to kill myself and forget about all my sorrows and worries."How could you do this to me?" I screamed my lungs out. My voice cracked as I took a quick look at the magazine across the room.The glossy pages fluttered before landing in a crumpled heap, and all I could see was the bold headline staring up at me."Ariana's Secret Love Child Exposed!"“Listen, Ariana. You don't have to do this. Don't even think of going to the river and drowning yourself. Think of your mother! Think of those that love you,” Gabriel said to me, but all of that was just bullshit to me.“I don't bloody care. No one loves me. Everyone pretends to, and the next thing they do is s

Chapter 54

When Isabella gave me a hint of what she was going to do, I never realised that it was going to be something as cruel as this.Somehow, I was able to get to Ariana since she couldn't be seen in public. I didn't know how to face her, knowing fully well that she would be clothed with the same."Is it true, Ariana?" I demanded, my voice trembling. My Ipad was laid open on her kitchen counter and the headline was visible.Looking at it made things worse for me, my heart kept getting thorn.Ariana's eyes widened and her face turned white that one could barely recognize her.I was certain that she wasn't aware that this was the reason I came to see her."Zayde, I...""Is it true?" I repeated, my voice was louder this time. I kept my fists at my sides as I tried to control my sudden outburst.I wished she could see my heart. I wished she could see how torn I was inside.She took a deep breath, calming herself. I was going to give her all the time in the world to say something.“Yes, I have a

Chapter 55

“They know our secrets, Ari sweetheart. I don't think this would work anymore,” my mum said, and the words slammed into me, stealing the breath from my lungs.I gripped the phone tighter, my fingers trembling as I pressed it against my ear.I was expecting her to come running to me with this news but still it still came as a shocker.I had been consoling myself that they were both safe from this mess I was in.“What?” I asked and I was already strangled by fear.“They will find us, Ariana. I have received so many threats in the past days,” my mother informed me. “It’s not safe here anymore. Not for me. Not for your daughter. I'm scared to death.”I pressed a hand to my forehead, closing my eyes as I began to get dizzy.My heart thudded greatly in my chest, each beat only reminded me of the little time we had left.“How… how did they find out where you both are?” I asked, though I already knew the answer.I sounded stupid already.It was the exposure and the scandal that blew out of p

Chapter 56

ArianaI was still alone in my room and I knew I was already dying slowly. If no one came to my aid, I might rot in here. It was sad to think about it but what could I do? Clearly nothing!I had already shut down my company for the meantime and some of my staff had gone to other places to search for new jobs. No one even had faith that I would bounce back stronger. It was a rather sad thing to think about.Luckily for me, Gabriel called me that he was coming and we were both in a fortified house that protected us from the outside world. "Do you ever regret meeting me?" I asked him because I had been having that feeling for a long time. I don't think I had anyone around me who truly liked me. They were all around me because they had something to gain. Now, that the worse had happened to me and I was losing my feet. They are all no where to be found. To me, this words slipping out of my mouth was very necessary and I could do nothing to stop them. Gabriel sat away from me in the

Chapter 57

Ariana"I can't believe I'm doing this. This was not part of the plan,” I thought aloud and I knew that I didn't have control over myself anymore. I knew quite well that Gabriel could hear everything I said and he was obviously judging me but I didn't mind anymore. I held my phone which I was scrolling through and Gabriel kept smiling at me. His white teeth could be visibly seen and he leaned into the chair lazily. Gabriel had been with me for weeks now and I was beginning to reconsider a lot of things. Maybe I made a mistake from the onset. Could I correct things now?Just looking at him brought a lot of memories and I began to join dots together to be able to make things better. But where was I going to start from? Was he going to forgive me for all that I did?"You say that like it’s a bad thing," he said, slightly disappointed and I gave him a pointed look. "It might be. You don't quite understand what's going on inside me.”“It doesn't quite matter, my sweet girl. At least

Chapter 58

ArianaIf an angel told me that I would be outside my room after weeks of locking myself indoors, I would never believe it. Gabriel had succeeded in bringing me out of my house and I had no idea if I should be happy or sad about it. I was only clueless about how things would go. Especially now that we were going to an event that would be filled with the same people who judged me. “You are so insane.” I blurted out after letting out a breathless laugh as Gabriel pulled me through the crowd of journalists who were flashing cameras at me. My God! I don't think I would ever get used to something like this. I was so ashamed that I almost melted into the floor. “And you love it. I know you do,” He kept on reading me and his grip tightened around my wrist as he maneuvered us past a barricade of reporters who were doing everything possible to get me. “Relax, Ari. They won’t get near you. I'm here. Don't you trust me?”I wasn’t convinced by all that he said. I knew his intention was to ma

Chapter 59

Zayde’s POVYou might not be aware but….I recently made a deal with Isabella after divorcing her. I could still remember the evil smirk she gave me after I agreed to her terms. She was still very much in love with me and promised not to inform my mother about our divorce. Although, I knew that it was only a matter of time that my mum knew that I was no longer with Isabella. The most annoying part, I get to make Ariana jealous. That was my own plan of making her pay for the lie she kept from me. “Fuck you, Ariana!” I kept cursing under my breath. Isabella and I were even now. We were getting what we wanted but for me, the countless dreams I had about Ariana didn't seem to stop. ***"I saw the way you were looking at her when she walked past us with Gabriel!" Isabella yelled at the top of her voice and I became confused. She was accusing me of looking at Ariana who I didn't know would bump into me.Wait! Was she trying to act like a jealous partner when she's not even my partner?

Chapter 60

Isabella"Look at you! You are nothing but a failure. How did I ever fall in love with a dummy like you?” I kept thanking Zayde as I trailed behind him. I was going to make sure I make his life hell. That's what I do anyway. I make people's lives miserable and he was not going to be an exception. What a fool! I laughed within myself when I recalled the plans I had lined up. I was yet to see a person who was smarter than me. None of them were! From Ariana to Zayde to Gabriel to anyone involved in this mess. They were all foolish! “I'm talking to you, bastard!” I kept insulting him, forgetting that he was once the person I loved. Oops! I still loved him but he didn't deserve me and I was no longer going to beg him. My expensive heels clicked against the polished floor and my fingers cracked as I watched him in that stiff posture of his. He had been ignoring me since the moment we left the movie hall and I was not going to leave just like that.He was going to respond to me no mat
