Ariana saved his name as The heart throb. And at the moment her heart was throbbing.It was weird how a simple memory of him could alert all her five senses. Ariana took in a deep breathe as she stared at her screen.She wanted to answer at the same she didn't want to answer. It was starting to get toxic the way she felt towards him, a simple human like her or that was what she thought. Ariana didn't think a simple human could ruin her senses.She took in a deep breathe as she stared at the message on the notification then she clicked it. She wanted to bail at the last moment but she hated it when people left her on read, so she wouldn't want to leave him on read because she wouldn't also tolerate it."Ariana brown get yourself and return a simple hello!" she mentally coached herself.She finally picked up the phone and responded."Hey!" She answered with sweaty palms.He had seen the message already. Ariana watched as the typing popped in and out. It took already too long."How was y
He had already paid her and that was already over. Ethan had no ideas why she still came to his house that late at night.Ethan doesn't care if she did it or not, he would take it has pay back or revenge. Anything she would like to call it he was fine with it. It literally had to make it clear that he didn't want to see her in his house or anywhere close to him.Eight hours earlier...Sofia sat on the bed with crossed leg as she stared at Ethan."Get out of my house," Ethan spoke softly as he headed to his wardrobe"And why should I leave when I haven't told you what I came here for?" Sofia replied."I do not wish to listen to what you have to say please leave my house," Ethan requested."Even if I told you that Ariana your lover was cheating on you with another man?" Sofia said before she stood from the bed.Ethan was fighting the urge to push on the bed, after all he was a man and the way she was dressed was enough to turn him on.She approached him taking advantage of his shock. Sh
Ariana was happy, disappointed and confused at the same time.She was happy he ignored her, confused on why he ignored her and went ahead to see Alice and she was disappointed she didn't get to say a word before he walked past her.Ariana locked the door and walked back to Alice. A million thoughts started to revolve around her head. Why would Ethan come to her work place. She had been fine without him. He was memory she wanted to Erase from her head completely. Why wouldn't he let her be? But if he was here for her he would have spoken to her, what could Ethan probably be planning this time?"Ethan it's nice seeing you after such a long time," Alice said as she opened her arms for a hug."You aren't as happy as I am seeing you trust me!" Ethan replied before he hugged her.Even Ariana could notice that the smile on her face was fake. It was the one she wore when she was on the press conference it was almost as if she went to fake smile class. She had never seen Alice genuinely smile.
It was Saturday and Aria was rushing out of the house when Alice sent her a message. It said she should come to a hall just near their office."It's a freaking Saturday!" Aria groaned. Saturdays were supposed to be her free days but she needed money for her father's treatment. Maybe Alice would lend her some.She got to the hall and she was met with the shock of her life."Will you marry me Ariana?" Ethan asked as he stood on the cold Pavement.The hall was beautifully decorated with lights and love balloons with a little bit of roses spread around the hall.She couldn't believe him.Ethan stared at her surprised face, he tried to decipher her emotions, it seemed chocked and confused at the same time, he searched for something else. He searched for happiness in her eyes but found none, maybe the other emotions masked them. It had always been hard to read her emotions.Ariana looked at him as she moved back, the crowd had already gathered outside ready to congratulate them in the hall.
Alice knew she had made a mistake the moment she broke the news to her. She knew she wouldn't take the news well. Sofia had never been the one to take bad news well. Just like when her father died it wasn't easy to calm down Sofia. She locked herself up in a room for three days without food nor water."Argh!" Sofia screamed as she tossed her table upside down."This can't be real! It can't be true! I hate you Ariana I hate you forever!" She yelled as she threw everything on her bed unto thee floor."Sofia stop acting like a kid and get out of that freaking room!" Alice said from the other side of the room.Alice had just told her what had happened yesterday, the conversation between she and Ethan. At this moment Ethan was already proposing to Ariana. She might have said yes already."I'll kill her, I'll kill her with my bare hands!" Sofia said. "Sofia please just listen to me before you do something reckless." Alice begged.Sofia walked towards the door and opened it. Alice stared a
Chapter 52:Ariana clutched Lisa as they drove back home. She had not expected Ethan to do something as stupid as proposing to her. When he had offered to help her she thought it was too good to be true. All she wanted was to help her dad, Ethan gave her hope that was why she rushed to the venue. She thought she was going to help her. What was she even thinking about asking Ethan for help? How could she blindly trust him? What pissed Ariana more was the fact that he said To help her she had to marry him first, and he placed a condition. Even a child would not accept such an offer. It was as if she was trading herself for money. Lisa ran her hands through Ariana's hair as they stayed in silence, Lisa felt the urge to tell her that she said so, but this was not the moment to reproach her about the huge mistake she just made. She wasn't really aware of what happened in there but the way she looked when she arrives was enough to ask questions. Lisa had warned her not to go and meet
Chapter 53:Ariana woke up with an ache on the back from dozing off on the chair with Lisa. By the time they had realized that they had slept in the parlor, it was already eight in the morning. It was more of a waste of sleep. It felt as if their night flew away. Luckily for them today was Sunday. They barely had anywhere to go. So they continued to sleep in until noon. Lisa was the first person to wake up she said she had to get home because she needed to do her laundry. Basically the only day on which they were both free was on Sunday. Saturdays were not considered a free day because most of the time they worked in the morning till one-thirty in the afternoon when Alice decided to release them."Visit me soon," Ariana said as yawned by the door. "I'll definitely love to watch crappy romance movies with you again," Lisa said with a smile before she hugged Ariana. "Bye!" Ariana waved as she walked out of the house. The house was back to silence and empty once more it was she bad h
Chapter 54She was dressed as elegant as ever, her beautiful skin glowed like luxury itself. If one told you she was the daughter of the queen herself you would Believe. She looked like she had just come out of a hole that consisted of the finest and the freshest leaves.Ariana stood up to greet the woman in front of her. Her smile was never leaving. She had the face of a goddess. Ariana found it hard to believe the woman that stared at her was currently human. She was going to make the best pageant queen."Tara, have you been to any pageantry before?" Ariana asked out of curiosity."You are very funny Ariana," She said before she laughed out loud. "Well, you are not wrong about that, I was once Miss Kaluna," She said as she placed her bag on the table."The only beauty pageant I participated in, trust me, I hated beauty pageants a lot back when I was still in school," Tara said. "What would you like to have," The waiter asked as he stood close to the table that separated Tara and
