Ariel's POVWednesday Evening 5:00pm ..."Excuse me?!" I yelled , I looked around and realized almost everyone in the cafe were staring at me weirdly, I slowly retreated and bent my head , waving my hands and whispering sorry.I looked at the woman in front of me, she didn't even look bothered. She just sat elegantly staring at me, I watched her as she slowly picked up her cup of coffee took a sip , she put it down and resumed staring at me .She didn't even look like she just requested for something weird."So what's your answer" she repeated and I almost screamed.If and only if I knew this was what she wanted to say to me I wouldn't be here.What exactly does she think I am, I might not have money but I'm not desperate.****3 days ago ....Sunday evening ..."Ma'am, are you alright" I asked rushing up to the woman in front of me.I came to get something at the supermarket and then I noticed this woman.Her walking steps were disorderly and I could tell she wasn't okay.I left what
Ariel's POV"I should talk to her " I said to Olivia and she turned to look at me sharply.We were seated in the lobby contemplating on what to do. We have less than forty eight hours to do something quick if we really want my mother alive.Over these few days her condition has gotten pretty worse."What do you mean you would talk to her " Olivia retorted."Olivia , this is my mother we're talking about ""Right now I don't have any major paying job""We're living off the small income you earn as a waitress " "Even if you collect one year in advance of your salary we still won't be able to pay up the bills""Or if I get a job today it still doesn't change a thing, we need to pay mother's hospital bills in two days!""Two days Olivia Two days" I whisper-yelled holding two fingers up."Where do we find that kind of money Olivia , where?!" I asked "Let's go back to your mother's brother and beg him to loan us" she suggested"We've gone there countless of times what good has come out o
Ariel's POVNext Day ...Thursday Morning 8:00am ...I came down from the taxi and looked up at the huge building.I guess I'm doing this, I exhaled and pressed the bell at the gate .While waiting for someone to get the gate , I almost turned to run away but I had one thousand and one reasons not to. My legs remained rooted to the floor.I loved my mother so much and I'll do whatever it is that I can for her.Including marrying a total stranger.My mother has a rich younger brother , not just rich but rich rich , I wonder why he's doing this to us though.The sound of the opening gate brought me back to reality and I looked up."Ohh, it's you" he said and opened it wider for me to come in."Is madam in" I asked and he nodded."Alright, I'll just go see her real quick" I said and walked inside.I walked in slowly and took notes of the surrounding, these people are filthy rich.And rich people are most of the times, bad news.One of the helps ushered me into the living room and I greet
Ariel's POVTwo days later ...Saturday Evening 4:00 pm ......"I'll be on my way Livia" I yelled across the living room, it was a small house so she could hear me."Alright! , Be safe" she said and I walked out of the house.Mother actually went for the surgery and it was successful, she went into a medically induced Coma , the doctor said she would be back to normal within two days .But as of today, she hasn't moved a finger.I just hope she'll be fine ,I really just want her to be okay.Earlier today , Ma'am Belinda texted me and asked to meet up with her today.I'm finally meeting her son, I just hope he's physically okay because if he's not I don't think I can take it .She sent some money to me earlier to get a new dress and pull up in a nice taxi.I stood at the bustop and flagged down a taxi as I reached for the door to get in , I saw someone reach for it and get in first."That's my Taxi" I yelled but he said nothing and just told the driver to move."Arrogant jerk" I yelled
Xavier's POV In the car ...."She's a really nice girl""She helped me when nobody would have""I'm sure she'll take good care of you""You probably frustrated her" "And obviously you did, you took her taxi!!""You wouldn't accept it if someone does that to you either" Mom said."But still ...""You want me to support you , but I won't do that""You were wrong " she said sternly and I remained mute."What can I do to make you stop this mom""Nothing" she replied curtly."Get your house organized , she's moving in tommorow" she added ."And get your car fixed" "Or better still , change it , it's getting pretty old" she said and I nodded."How are things going at the office " she asked."Great!""And the Beurna corp project?!""We're pushing through" I replied."You should do whatever you can to make sure none of your uncle's plan succeeds" she said and I nodded."That's great then!".Since I can't stop Mom from making me marry her , I might as well frustrated the hell out of her and
Ariel's POVAt the hospital ....."What's wrong with my mom " I yelled immediately after I got into the hospital."Calm down, Miss Ariel," the nurse said."How can you tell me to calm down when my Mom is dying" I yelled in her face.Olivia held my hands and pulled me behind her."You should see the doctor first," the nurse said to Olivia and she pulled me along to the doctor's office."What the hell is wrong with my mother now" I yelled immediately I got into the doctor's office"Just calm down," Olivia said almost yelling."For the last time don't tell me to calm down""The doctor herself told me my mom's okay now, so what was she telling me now?!"
