"I'm sorry Ariel, I never knew that happened years ago. Just like how we met, I was drugged. Can you ever forgive me?" Dylan questioned with a little warmth in his eyes. Ariel sighed, she didn't know how to feel. Finding out he was the father of her child from the past 3 years, was a shock to her. "Just give me some time to decide... I can't say anything now." Ariel responded and walked away.

"Let go of me, where do you think you are taking me to?"
"Stop screaming girl else you will end up being beaten, you should be grateful you are not being thrown down the building." A bulky built man said sending a glare toward Ariel.
Ariel shanked back in fear, she was scared and the dark hallway didn't make it any easier for her. Goosebumps formed under her skin, and the cold pierced into her body. "Please let go of me, I do not know who you are. I did not borrow money from you either, please spare me. Did any of the people I owe money send you to me? Please I will pay back."
"I just need to take my paycheck from here in a few days and then I can pay you back your money." Ariel pleaded in fear, she had borrowed a few dollars to save her mother from dying but here she was been kidnapped.
"Keep your mouth shut little girl. No one asked you to speak, just walk behind us and you will be okay. But if you dare say one more word then I will throw you down this building without following the orders that were given to me."
The leader of the men remarked stopping to glare at Ariel, the scar on his face made him appear scary and it made Ariel shiver in her pants. "Please spare me, please let me go. Please let me go, please. I will pay back the dollars I owe you."
Ariel continuously pleaded but it all fell on deaf ears, the men pulled her towards another dark hallway. They pulled her ruthlessly which resulted in her getting a cut on her legs from her shoes, her shoes had worn out underneath making it incredibly hard for her to ignore the pain.
Her blood dripped on the ground as she walked. "Boss, what are we going to do?" The man holding harshly onto Ariel's hand and pulling her asked his subordinate who was his senior.
"The miss said to bring her to the room, we will get her there and then the miss can make the decision on what will happen to her." The bulky man replied and the other nodded his head.
Ariel wondered what young miss they were busy talking about, she had made sure not to step on any of the high-class members of the high society in the hotel. Ariel always made sure to live a cool and calm life, she always took in the tantrums and fulfilled the wishes of the guests without saying so much as a word.
"Can I know what young miss you are talking about? I would like to apologize if I caused her any inconvenience, ease. Let's talk this out please." Ariel pleaded even if she didn't know her wrong, she apologized fervently with tears falling down her eyes.
"Shut up your mouth! Not another word from you." The bulky man threatened glaring at her and Ariel quickly snapped her lips shut.
Ahead of them a commotion was going on, a few men in black stood outside a particular room with worry on their faces from inside the room the loud voice of a man thundered in fury. "Find me a fucking woman or get me my medicines! Why the hell are you all standing there like a damn piece of art?"
Dylan thundered glaring at the men through the open space of the room, the bodyguards all stood rigid with worrisome expressions on their faces. They did not want to make the president angry, making him angry was equal to the whole of the U.S.A. losing their lives.
"What are we going to do? The chairman said to wait for Miss Kent to arrive, she is not here yet. What should we do?" One of the guards whispered to the other and the friend frowned in worry.
It was a bother to leave the president hanging in such kind of situation but they had gotten orders directly from the chairman.
"Let's find a woman quickly and hand her over to the boss. The chairman won't find out about it, we can just say the President picked a woman by himself." Another suggested and the people nodded their heads at the idea of their friend.
"Where are we going to find a woman? This is getting worse." The first guard muttered hearing the sound of the vases and objects falling and breaking inside the room.
While they were busy thinking, they heard the cries of a woman from up close. The men exchanged glances among them as if to say, they had found a saving grace.
Their eyes snapped to the people walking towards them and their eyes fell on Ariel being pulled by the group of men. "Why don't we take that woman? She seems to be in trouble with those men, we will be saving her from them."
"Yes yes, we are saving her from whatever trouble she is I'm right now. Round up the men and knock them all unconscious, you can also send them to the ocean." The head guard remarked and the others nodded proceeding to fulfill the order given to them.
The men pulling Ariel stopped in their footsteps when they noticed a few men walking towards them, the bulky man came to stand in front of his men with his hand crossed over his chest. He blocked the path seeking trouble.
"A group of well-dressed men, what an honor to meet with you all. We are passing through the hallway so why don't you hold on and wait?" The bulky man suggested gazing at the bodyguards with a condensing look but they had no time to play with him.
"Get them." The guard said to his subordinates and they all swung into action. Ariel wondered if a gang fight was going on, she stood still instead of moving away from there and escaping from the scene her curiosity taking the better of her.
The guards took down the men in no time, Ariel who was standing with a confused look on her face was pulled by the guards towards the door.
"Let me go, what are you doing?" Ariel screamed wondering if she was going to keep getting kidnapped all day long, she should have run away immediately, she regretted not running away when the fight was still ongoing.
"You will be paid for your services lady, you do not have to worry about it." The guard said before pushing her into the slightly opened room and then the door was closed.
Ariel stumbled and fell on the ground inside the room, a puzzled expression appeared on her face but more than being puzzled she was scared. She quickly stood on her legs and her action caused pain to shoot up her legs, she disregarded the pain and instead turned and began knocking on the door furiously.
"Let me out of here! Somebody help me!." Ariel yelled but no one heard her words. While Ariel was busy knocking on the door, a pair of sapphire blue eyes made their way toward the girl.
Ariel stood at the door of the mansion watching Dylan button up his suits again, his bodyguards waiting patiently for him by my car.He came towards her."How do I look?" he asked, smiling.She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his lips.He chuckled."I don't need you to say any words. Your actions have confirmed to me that you think I do look good."" Yes. Actions speak louder than words."He turned to leave to go, but Ariel held his arm and pulled him back. Then she wrapped her arms around his firm waist and pouted at him.He chuckled again."Baby, I know you don't want me to leave, but this trip is necessary. I have to close a deal with a multinational company. It is for the betterment of the company. I hope you will understand.""I know the trip is necessary, Yet I do not want to let you go."Ariel still held onto him."I don't want you to go. Must you go yourself? Can't you send someone else?""I can't," I said, gently removing her hands from my waist.Dylan took her fa
'I should have brought more,' Ariel thought when she saw how the things she brought were almost finished and how so many others had not collected any food or blankets.She immediately phoned her guards and ordered them to bring more food and clothing.She was also planning to get these homeless people a new building so they would not have to stay on the streets. Dylan on the other hand supported her in the way he could. He told her often that he was proud of her efforts and sometimes showed up at her fundraising events to make more people come and invest as well, given his popularity."Thank you so much!" the homeless people said to Ariel and Maggie.They were all so grateful.One older woman held her hand and prayed for her. Another homeless person, a young boy, gave her a flower she was sure he had seen at the side of the road."A beautiful flower for a beautiful woman," he said, looking at her with awe. He could not have been more than two years older than Paul."Awww. Thank you so
Ariel and Maggie were out in the streets together when she received Dylan's call.They had been in the streets to do some work.Earlier that day, Maggie had come into the house to pick Ariel up.Dylan on the other hand had left to go see his mother."Ariel! Where are you?! Must you be late everywhere?!" Maggie, cried one Wednesday Afternoon."Coming!"Maggie and Ariel had both attended the same high school and even college. Yet, they had never been friends and they had only become friends when they met again at work!The company where Ariel worked, after receiving a lot of investment from Ariel who now had access to her father's wealth, became more successful. Ariel had become a Director of a company. No one saw that coming.Ariel became a shareholder of the company and made her friend Maggie, a manager.The click-clack of Ariel's stiletto heels filled up the hallways as she walked. All the people in the hallways turned their heads to see who was making so much noise."Good morning Dir
Dylan and his mom had coffee together, where they discussed many things."I have breast cancer."The moment she said that his heart burst into pieces.'No, no, I just got her back.'"Are you saying you have cancer, Mom?" Dylan asked.Denise started to cry again."Yes, my son. I have cancer, and the doctor told me I have only a few months to live."His chest felt tight, and he suddenly could not breathe."So why are you here? You should be receiving treatment in the hospital!" he exclaimed, grabbing her hand.She smiled so sweetly at him his heart melted."Dylan, I want to spend my last days with you. That is why I'm here. I don't want to die without at least spending my last months with my son."Tears rose in his eyes. His dad was dead. He could not let his mom die as well."Don't cry, son. Such is life.""Mom, if there's anything I can do. Is there anything that I can do at all? Isn't there any?""Yes, there is something you can do. You can borrow me some money to begin the treatment
The weekend was over, and Dylan was back to work. So it meant double work and more extended hours in the office.Because of the issues with his brother and Charity, he has been away from work for a long time. Now that he was back, he had so much to do.The uproar that the public had had as a result of their discovering the truth about his grandfather and other families involved in the drug trade had begun to die down. Yet it still caused a bit of negative press towards the company. Many partners had even pulled out from the company so as not to be associated with a corporation his grandfather had used to traffic drugs and launder money.Dylan sighed heavily as he realized he had to do it all himself.None of his family members who were even still mad at him for exposing their grandfather helped in running the company.Another thing that was being talked about the most was that Dylan was now the real face of the Grey family. With his grandfather in jail and his brother dead, he was now
Dylan was enraged."I can kill you here and now!" he threatened.Charity laughed in his face."You and I know you can't try it. If you do, you will never see your beloved wench again. So tread carefully."Dylan let her go after that."Goodbye, my love," Charity said mockingly and got into a cab she had flagged down.Dylan watched her drive away, clenching his jaw.When the car was out of sight, Dylan brought out the tracking app his tech friends had installed on his phone. He had attacked Charity simply to put a GPS tracker on her.He watched Charity's location move to a site on the outskirts of town. It seemed that was where she was hiding Ariel. He brought out his second cell phone and called his men."Hello, boys. It's been a long, but I have a job for you."Ariel woke up in a dark place, her throat parched.She sat up, unable to fathom what was going on. It felt like she was in an enclosed space, and she did not know how to get out."How did I get here?" she asked herself.She cou
