Endearment

Arielle WaltonWhen your life's currently being fucked up, it's hard to believe anything will go right. I honestly thought that achieving my dreams would be the last chapter in my life, but no. That chapter doesn't end there, there is a lot more depth to my story. Being a lawyer is no joke and especially defending your own family on courts and my family is a series of dumb nuts honestly they annoy the living shit out of me especially my three brothers. My thoughts were interrupted by someone flying my door open."What do you want Alex ?" I asked my second little brother in irration, not to mention he is in his early twenties but his acts can be very immature at times."Nothing, just came to check up on you." He gave me a sly smile, I squinted my eyebrows at him in suspicion, he isn't coming for anything good."Are you sure you didn't get into any to trouble?" saying I raised my eyebrows at him.His lips went into a thin line. Sighing I asked him "I'll ask you again what do you want ?"

Arielle WaltonHe told me to be home in the evening, he didn't tell me why but I don't feel good about this. Walking past the hallways to get to my Dads office room, I couldn't believe my eyes. Mike and Cato were here. I couldn't recognise them at first, they haven't changed much. I had to talk to them because they were in my house."Cato?" I told his name just to make sure it's them. He turned around to look at me"Elle?" he asked me,"Yup, that's me" "It's been so long, I've seen you.How you doing girly?" Mike asked, he's physical appearance has change but he's still the same."I'm doing well,but what brings you all here?" "We are here to meet Mr Walton, Oh and meet Nonno our grandpa" He gestured his hand to where the old man was sitting. What did he mean by our grandpa? Mike and Cato aren't biological brothers. "Hello Mr..." saying I reached out to shake his hand,but I realised that I don't know his name "Ruffalo, Dominic Ruffalo. You must be Arielle, the daughter of Anthony W

Arielle Walton."I will not marry him!" "You have to Ari, it's part of the agreement" my father spoke very calmly and me on the other hand is like my head is on fire."No Dadda, you don't understand I really don't want to marry that jerk.""jerk?, why do you say so ?""just cause.." I struggled to find words to describe him as a jerk, I can't tell him that I dated this man in high school.Sighing I told "I don't know, I just don't like him""You know Ari, I won't let you do it if I know that he is going to harm you in any way.""Yea bu-" "No buts young lady get ready to meet him for lunch oh and did you contact the wedding planner?""What! Why? should I meet him again for lunch?""To obviously talk about your wedding, he's the man you're marrying, not yourself and what did the wedding planner say ?" "She asked me to stick with a theme and I honestly don't want to even participate in the planning its not like I'm marrying the love of my life" saying I shrugged my shoulders"What t

Arielle Walton"Arielle, do you wanna go near the lake with me?"My eyes lit with excitement, the lake was my favourite place"Okay mama!"Walking down the hill to reach the lake which was right next to the house and holding on to mama's hand."Mama, you have very soft hands" she just hummed at me."Ari darling do you want to take a dip with mama in the water?"with no hesitation I nodded my head in excitement. As I was taking my clothes to take a dip in my swimsuit."Arielle, you don't clothes off just get in the water with your clothes" I gave her a confused look yet I agreed because she's my mom . I trust her. She held my hand and started walking towards the water but she didn't stop the water level kept rising up to my chin"Mama, I think I don't want to take a dip anymore" I spoke with water almost filling my mouth yet she ignored me. I couldn't feel the ground suddenly hand kept pushing my head in the water while I struggled to breath and the water feeling my lungs with burning

Arielle WaltonI'm too embarrassed to raise my head, I stopped sobbing but I'm still leaning on his shoulders while he held me and whispered comforting words. I missed this even though I shouldn't be feeling this way. I couldn't control my tears they were flowing like a flooded river, I couldn't realise why would I cry in front of him, a part of me still trusts him and yet the other empty soulless part has second thoughts about it but he was holding me tight as if he let me go I would disappear, the sense of warmth and safety wrapped around me. I want to raise my head and say sorry but I'm such an ugly crier, I've probably wet his suit with tears and boogers. But I couldn't do it, I was too embarrassed to say it after all he's the man who broke my heart. I do have dignity as well. My eyes felt heavy as I slowly start to close my eyes "mia cara, you're burning up again, let's lie down" he pulled away and looked into my eyes soon the sense of warmth was taken away but was filled wi
