Ariadne turned around and saw Xander standing behind them.

"Mr. Blake. Come, join us." Mr. Montecarlo said.

Xander took a step forward and stood between Crystal and Ariadne. He looked at Ariadne with a frown. She averted her gaze.

"Congratulations, Mr. Blake." Zidane said, saving Ariadne from his intense glare. They shook hands.

"Miss Miller, congratulations to you as well. I forgot to greet you earlier" he said to Crystal.

"It's ok...Thank you."

"I didn't know you have three children." Xander went right to the point.

"Yeah, we were talking about it... she managed her work and three children at the same time." Georgia praised Ariadne.

"I have help at home to look after my kids. Now that they have grown up, it's not as difficult."

"How old are they?" Georgia asked.

"Four years."

"We hadn't met your other child." Xander interrupted.

Ariadne paled, unsure what to say. Zidane gave her a concerned look.

The mess is coming and I cannot wait lol. Crystal is so petty and shady that I'm looking forward to her public embarrassment, since she likes embarrassing people. I don't even gaf about Xander at this point. He's the typical, brooding rich dude and is like watching paint dry.

i am hating Xander's attitude. If he wants to be with Aria then he should take steps to stop his relationship with Crystal and confess to Aria. But he keeps on accusing and humiliating A. What should it matter to if she has 2 kids or 3!! They are already divorced.

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    99. A Hope

    A few days had passed, and Xander's condition had improved. He could talk without difficulty and move his body as well. Ariadne no longer stayed overnight at the hospital. It was always Jose who stayed with him in the night. But Ariadne visited Xander every day, spending a lot of time with him and took care of him. She had even taken a leave from her office. Many of his close and trusted friends, relatives, and business partners had come to see him, and everyone was relieved that he was safe. One morning, Ariadne arrived with some guests. "Someone has come to meet you." she declared and Mark walked into the room behind her. But what caught Xander's attention was the woman with Mark. "Hello Mr Blake. How are you?" Mark asked. "I’m fine." Mark noticed Xander's gaze on the woman beside him. "This is Rene, my fiancée." he introduced. Xander's eyes widened with surprise before he frowned at him. Mark smirked at his expression. "Hello, Mr Blake. It's nice to meet you."

However, there is no update on his health as the family is keeping it under wraps. We all hope that he will recover soon and be fine." "Crystal Miller has been arrested by the police.

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    97. Restless

    Jose and Ariadne, along with the other guards, had just arrived at the garden and witnessed the scene. Ariadne screamed as Crystal fired the shot for the second time. The guard assigned to Alex was the closest to Xander. He fired before Crystal could fire again, causing her gun to fall from her grasp. He went up to her, grabbed her, and pinned her down. Other guards went and held Crystal in place. Ariadne, on the other hand, dashed to Xander and held him as he collapsed on the ground. "Daddy!" Alex cried. "Xander... Look at me." Ariadne said frantically. In no time, her hand was completely covered in his blood. Jose held Alex in his arms. "Take him somewhere safe." he ordered the guards, who took Alex inside the resort. "Get the car ready. Quick. We need to get him to the hospital." Jose instructed the guards while keeping an eye out for any further threats. The place was in chaos. Ariadne took Xander's head in her lap. Her entire attention was on him. "I'm sorry. The birthday

    Crystal's face turned pale. "I don't know what you're talking about." she replied. "Oh, please." Zidane gave an irritated look. "I know you're the one who exposed my bastard daughter." "What do you think of me? You actually thought you could ruin my reputation by revealing that I've a bastard child. Really?" he arched his brow, his tone mocking. Crystal gulped. She was furious and wanted to teach him a lesson. So she used a connection to reveal the news. Even after falling from grace, she had a few friends. They were mostly men. "I'm not Xander Blake, dear. You have made a mistake here." Zidane clenched his jaw. He appeared serious. He moved to the wall and pressed a button. A wall slides to the side, revealing a grass wall. What drew Crystal's attention were the people in the room. She gasped. The room was full of women. Most of them were under thirty. They looked scared as they sat on the floor. She immediately realized what was going on. "You!" she looked at Zidane

  • Hate You as much as I Love You    95. A Sinking Ship

    Everyone looked at Ariadne, including Crystal. Her eyes widened with surprise as well. She looked around to see the entire family, including Xander. She glared at them. "Don't try anything funny." Xander warned her as he approached the scene. He stood in front of Ariadne, protectively. "OMG. It's Crystal Miller." Someone in the crowd recognized her. Everyone murmured as they looked at her in disgust. "So she has started stealing clothes now." Another person said. Crystal noticed the hateful stare directed at her. She clenched her jaw. It had been almost a month since she and Emma were kicked out of the Miller Residence. Aaron left them some money, but they would only provide them with what they need. They no longer enjoyed upper-class lifestyles. They couldn't even afford an expensive dress. So, when she saw an expensive dress, she decided to steal it because she didn't have the money to purchase it. But she was caught by the staff. Worst of all, she met with Ariadne and Xande

    "We are here to celebrate the launch of Steele Group's new construction firm, Steele Construction." Mark said into the microphone as he stood on stage and applause erupted throughout the hall. It was a few days later. Ariadne had taken over as CEO of Steele Construction, and the company had thrown a party to celebrate it's launch. The party was attended by Steele Group's important employees and business partners, as well as their families. They also invited other influential people, including Xander. "We have worked hard to get here today. Congratulations to the entire team behind this company. I firmly believe that this company will grow and become one of the best in the country." Another round of applause followed. "Now I would like to invite Miss Ariadne Miller, the CEO of the construction company, to the stage." Mark looked at Ariadne, who was standing in front of the crowd. She smiled as she walked over to the stage. Mark stepped away from the podium to give her space. "T
