View MoreCHAPTER 125Ariella Annie left and I was alone. I neatly packed my room and was about to go take a shower when I heard a knock on my door. I didn't have to ask who it was or anything. I knew it was him— Luis.“Come in," I said before turning around.“Are you free?" he asked, trying to sound neutral but I could feel the pain in his tone.“Yeah. Do you want to talk about something?" I asked."I'm sorry…I'm sorry for keeping you in the dark Ariella. I thought pretending to love Emily would make her lead me to Neil but it didn't work,” he said when I lifted my brows."Pretending? Luis, you chose her child over mine,” I said."Yes, I did, but the truth is now out, and I don't want to keep you in the dark anymore. I meant it when I said that I loved you, Ariella,” he started, and I could feel myself getting nervous.“Luis, please, you're not fine. Try getting some rest," I suggested, trying to stop him from continuing, but he didn't want to.“I've to say this Ariella. I know I've been a fo
CHAPTER 124Ariella Emma had gone back to her place while I was busy preparing my room when Emily walked in with a disgusted face. It was as if she were looking at someone who was rotting or something, but I wasn't in the mood for her drama. I'd already made it clear that I wasn't going to be nice if she tried me. “Well, look at the runaway girl, I knew you couldn't live without Luis' wealth, Ariella. You indeed are just the gold digger I thought you were," she smiled, probably expecting that to hurt me but I was mentally prepared. “I actually don't mind digging for gold, especially when it's from my husband's pocket. But wait aren't you the one carrying a married man's child?" I asked when embarrassment covered her entire face. “Don't push it Ariella you're nothing compared to me OK I'll—”"Shhhh Emily. I don't have enough joules to waste on an attention-seeking bitch like you. Stay the hell away from my room because I'm nothing like you OK,” I said before pointing to the door.
CHAPTER 123Enrico I've been waiting for Marcus for about 4 hours now but he hasn't gotten here yet. It was as if something more important than tonight's meeting was taking up his time. I asked my man to contact him but his phone wasn't going through. “I think Neil is here," Monica rushed to tell me before I made my way outside to welcome him.Gosh, he really seemed like the devil himself. I could tell that I had a lot to learn. Darkness covered the entire atmosphere, and I could tell Lucia and Monica were both uncomfortable, just like me.“Lucia, you seemed like someone with all the potential to get back into Luis's life,” Neil said when I looked at her in shock. "You two know each other?” I asked, looking confused. “Yes and her return was no coincidence. I wanted her back into Luis's life so I could destroy him from the inside but she failed so badly," Neil replied, his voice deep yet powerful.“And you didn't bother to tell me?" I looked at Lucia.“Some things aren't meant to b
