Ariana worked overtime in her workplace as she's trying to get her mind off what happened at school. What's the point of going to school and live a life of humiliation. After all, next week she'll be kicked out of school so she should just focus on getting her mom treated. She left work in the evening and strolled to the chemist where she normally buy drugs for her mother."Good to see you Ari" Bella, the nurse greeted "Hi" Ariana smiled."Dear you look exhausted" she said and she fetch the drugs that Ari normally buys for her mother.*Tell me about it, it has been a tough day" Ariana sighs."Make sure to get some rest when you get home" she advised and Ariana nodded her head. "You still haven't taken your mother to the hospital?"

If she continued working like this, she will be able to send her mom to the hospital.She strolled happily home. She wanted to take the bus but that'll consume money so she decided to walk home. She sighted a limousine across the road, she found the limousine suspicious as the car keeps following her. She halted in her track and the limousine stopped.

"Could it be Zach?" she mumbled and gasped.The door of the limousine opened and a strong bodied man came out of the passenger seat.
"Mike has ulcer" she replied."What!" Ariana exclaimed. She felt like she didn't hear what Bella said. How could her little brother be diagnosed with ulcer."I'm sure he hasn't being feeding well. How did this happen Ariana?" Bella said with disappointed gaze on her face."I...I don't know" Ariana cried. "Start treating him, please" she begged. "Okay, you can go see him now" she left Ariana.Ariana walked into the room where she saw Mike still whining in pain and he still held his stomach. How could she let this happen to her brother, she admit she wasn't paying any attention to her brother and she's only concerned about her mother but why did this happen."Mike..." she called out his name and sat down on the stool next to the bed."Ariana, my tummy hurts, it hurts" Mike cried."I'm so sorry, it's going to be fine, okay, you're going to be fine, just endure it a little longer.

They arrived at the hospital and Ariana sat down and she prayed. Jack told her that her mom is undergoing surgery, she didn't know that her mom's condition has worsened to that extent.

Xavier drove Annie and Ariana to the mall where Anika waited impatiently for them. She is so excited to see her brother's fiancee, her dad told her that they've already met before so he is keeping her brother's name a secret because he wants Ariana to be shocked when she sees him. "Hi!" Anika waved and rushed to them. "You must be Ariana, so nice to meet you" Anika hugged her tightly. Ariana was quite surprised.

Mike ran to her and hugged her. "Wow, you look beautiful today. Is this your hair?" Mike asked. Ariana squatted so that Mike can touch her hair."Yeah, it's cool right" Ariana smiled."Are you sure that this is your hair?" Mike asked again to be sure and he fiddled with her hair."Just because I always tie my hair in a bun doesn't mean that this isn't my hair" Ari stated. "Do you like it?" Ari ask."Yeah, it's beautiful.

"Oh, I guess my dad didn't mention this to you but you'll be living with my brother" Annie said."What!" Ariana eyes widened like saucers. "Why about my brother?" she asked."He'll be living with my dad. He had always wanted a third child so I guess your brother can fill in that space as his third child" Anika said."Wait...this is a lot to take in" Ariana panicked and she stammered."Sure is a lot" Annie said with that look saying 'i warned you'."You'll be fine, let's go. My brother will be home soon, you'll be staying in his villa" Anika stood up. Annie hugged them both and she escorted them to the car where she collected the clothes she shopped for.
