"Okay, let me know if you find someone. Yes, good night." Ariadne ended the conversation with Mr. Hart.

It was almost midnight. She was in her room as everyone retired to their rooms after dinner. The kids had also fallen asleep. She decided to draw some designs as there would be no work the next day since it was sunday. She took her notebook and began to draw.

After some time, her bedroom door clicked open, and two heads peeked through the slightly ajar opening. Ariadne became startled before realizing it was her kids.

"Happy birthday, Mommy!" they shouted together, making Ariadne's eyes widened.

She had totally forgotten that today was her birthday. The two kids dashed into the room and climbed into the bed. Ariadne smiled, covering her mouth with both hands. They sat either side of her.

"Thank you." She kissed on their cheeks while hugging both of them.

"You two are awake at this time!" Ariadne said looking at the kids, as it was past their bedtime.

Hopefully this leading lady will be strong and choose a different leading male and let the ex husband wallow in regret.

    "He's now stable, but please make sure he doesn't become anxious." the doctor said. "Okay, thank you, doctor." Xander let out a sigh of relief. William had a heart attack when he learned about the accident. He was immediately taken to the hospital, and fortunately, nothing serious had happened. The doctor exited the room, leaving them there. "I'm here with him. You should go check on the kids and Ariadne." Joseph said. Xander gave a nod and looked at William, who was asleep. He left and made his way to Adrian's room. Adrian was awake. The nurse was arranging his medication while he stared at the ceiling. "How are you feeling?" Xander asked, drawing his attention. "Better." he replied, looking at him. Xander nodded and stood near his bed. The nurse left the room. "You will be perfectly fine in a week." "I missed my match." Adrian stated. Xander remembered they had sports the day they got into the accident. They had prepared for it and were very excited. But the accident

    Xander burst through the door and entered the room. He came to a halt when he noticed the person lying on the bed in front of him. He stumbled back and placed his hand against the wall for support. He was panting heavily as he came running. "Boss, control yourself. You need to stay strong." Jose, who was behind him, held his shoulder.Leaning against the wall, Xander exhaled while running his hands through his face and hair."How is she?" he asked as he straightened and approached the bed."She's fine, Sir." the nurse replied.He examined Ariadne's sleeping figure. She had bandages on her head, shoulder, and ankle."Her ankle and head are slightly injured. The wounds on her shoulder is deep. A shard of glass pierced through it." the nurse explained.There were some cuts on her face and body as well."How long will it take her to recover?""In a month, she will be fine."Xander nodded."Stay with her."He extended his hand to touch her face, but then retreated it. He stared at her fac

    She took a shortcut as she was getting late. This side of the street had less traffic. She looked around as she came to a stop at a traffic signal. Suddenly, she saw Mr. Wings emerge from a car in the distance. Mr. Wings lived in Zavion City. So it wasn't surprising to see him. She couldn't help but observe his movements. He looked around the area. There were only a few cars on the road. Ariadne turned around so that he couldn't see her. He then crossed the street and approached another car. He got into the back seat of the car. There was another person in the back seat, but his face wasn't visible. The car drove away after making a U-turn. It was at that point that she noticed the other person in the car. She was surprised when she recognized him. It was the new construction manager.'They know each other?' she whispered to herself. She had a feeling they were up to something. She felt an urge to follow them and she did. She wore a mask to hide her face, and drove a safe distance aw

    The door flew open, and Ariadne and Xander entered. Tiara and Jose shifted in their seats, creating space between them. Xander frowned as he noticed their proximity. Ariadne, on the other hand, didn't notice anything. She went to the bed, staring at Alex's sleeping form. "Tiara, go home. I'll stay for the night." she said. "You don't have to, because I'm staying." Xander spoke up. "I'm not talking with you. However, as you have already mentioned it, I'll say the same. You don't need to stay tonight because I will." Ariadne looked at him. She noticed that he was in a more relaxed mood than usual. "No I'm staying. If you also intend to stay, that is fine. There are two couches here, along with a separate room. We will not have any problems." he stated. "No, you..." "I think you two can decide that among yourselves. We should leave now." Tiara said, interrupting them. Ariadne sighed and said goodbye to Tiara. Tiara and Jose left the room together. The room fell silent, and

    "Check the link I sent you." Tiara said from the other end of the phone. "Hmm." Ariadne replied before hanging up as she sat in her office. She opened the link Tiara had sent her. It was Xander's interview with the same channel that had Crystal's interview a few days ago. She played the video on her phone. "We are all aware of the all-powerful Xander Blake of the business world. Will we now see you as a family man? When are we going to see the wedding?" "I've no plans for my wedding right now. As for being a family man..." he paused. "I'm already a family man with three kids." he added with a smile. Ariadne frowned. "What?" the anchor was shocked. "This's a joke, right?" "No it's true. You may know that I was once married. I've three kids with my ex-wife. Two sons and a daughter." "Wow." the anchor exclaimed. "This's the first time you're telling the world you have children." she added. "Yes. It's time to introduce them to the world." The anchor was at a loss for words. Th

    "What are you doing here, Mr. Blake?" Ariadne asked sharply. Xander was about to reply when Ace's father spoke up from behind. "You're Mr. Blake." he exclaimed in disbelief, looking closely at Xander. He was on his way to congratulate Xander when he overheard Ariadne address him as Mr. Blake. "I apologize, Sir. I didn't recognize you. Nice to meet you." he extended his hand. Xander shook his hand with a nod. "Congratulations on your victory. I didn't know that you have kids." he added, looking at the kids. Xander frowned at his comment. "Hello, Miss Miller." the man also greeted Ariadne. She smiled at him. "We should leave now. Good night." the man left with his kids. Xander cleared his throat as they were alone now. Ariadne returned her gaze to him. "Daddy, let's have dinner together." Autumn blurted out, drawing their attention. She grabbed his hand. "Dinner?" he asked hesitantly and looked at Ariadne. "Yes. Let's have dinner together. Mommy has prepar
