Two months had passed since Oliver and Aria decided to get married, they had both made some difficult choices and changes for the sake of each other’s happiness; Aria had transferred back her own share of the company to Oliver, she had taken a break from her career as well after the big time contract that she had. Her manager seemed to be a bit disappointed but she had made her choice, she wanted to spend more time with her family, to make up for all the time they had lost during their time of divorce. She had not given up on her career, she was just taking a long, well deserved break to focus on being a wife and a mother. Rosie had started to take training that could help her replace Mike as Aria’s manager; of course, Oliver would not permit her to continue working with Mike, it was not her he distrusted, it was him around her. While Rosie was practicing to be an agent and manager for models; Aria in particular… Oliver decided to make Sammy the new Chief Manager of the company
Lena sat on the couch, with her legs cuddled in her arms. She was worried about her mother and Grandpa Go could see that, he was worried as well but he needed to look strong for Lena, if she found out that he was also scared, then she might get even more worried. Grandpa Go went and sat beside her, he put his arm across her shoulder and pulled her to his body. “It is alright smarty pants, your mom would be fine, I promise.” He consoled. “Are you sure Grandpa? Why did mom pass out? Is she not feeling fine?” Lena queried curiously, with fear visible in her eyes and trembling voice. “No Lena, your mom is fine, I am sure it's nothing serious, she will be back very soon so you don’t need to worry,” he said, trying to sound convincing. “I am scared Grandpa,” she confessed. “I know dear, but you don’t need to be scared, you are a strong girl right? Strong girls shouldn’t fear, and your mom would be disappointed if she finds out that you were afraid or that you cried while she was
Few minutes after the call, Oliver saw Sammy and Rosie rushing towards him in the hallway, Sammy seemed a bit excited as he approached him. He wondered what could be making him happy at a time like this. Sammy was supposed to be at the office, he had no idea that they had come to a hospital. “Hey man, what is wrong?” Sammy asked as they approached him. his face dimmed a bit as the smile faded and a worried expression took over. “It is Aria, we returned from Lena’s school and she suddenly passed out, the doctor is running tests on her as we speak, but why are you two here?” he asked curiously, with a gloomy face. “Oh… um, I don’t know if this is a good time to announce this.” Sammy replied. “Why not? Tell me, you know I will be curious if you don’t, so you have to tell me.” Oliver replied. “Oh… well, I was feeling strange and so I suggested we come and run some tests here, the doctor confirmed it,” Rosie said with a smile and looked at her husband. “Confirmed what?” Oliver
The couple couldn't wait to announce the news to the other family members the moment they arrived. Grandpa Go was happy to find out, but Lena was more excited. She had yawned for a little sibling for a while now as it always got boring in the house when the adults were away. The servants usually try to keep her company but she needed someone that could play with her toys along with her, someone that will derive the same amount of excitement from her doll tea party. “So… you mean that I am going to have a baby brother soon?” Lena asked curiously and Aria chuckled. “Well, we aren’t certain yet, if it is going to be a boy or a girl, but you are going to get a sibling in a few months, that is for sure” Aria replied. “Wow… that is good news, thank you so much mom!” she exclaimed. “Huh? you should thank me too,” Oliver whined. Lena made a reprimanding face. “Why should I? Mom is the one carrying the baby, not you,” she retorted. “But I… but I contributed,” he persisted. “
It was the day of love, the 14th day of February 2014. Arianna was seated patiently, waiting for her boyfriend. She had not received any special gifts, flowers, cards or letters today but she was still happy because she would spend time with her boyfriend. She arranged for a romantic meal in a restaurant tonight and everything was set. Oh! Apart from him. Who knows why he is taking so long, it should have been him waiting for her here but now it’s the other way round. She kept tapping her fingers on the table and continuously checking the time on her wrist watch. The restaurant was blinking with red lights, and couples were walking in and out, with matching outfits of red and white color, some were with their kids dressed like little adorable angels. Of course, the representation of Eros; the Greek god of love with his bow and arrow. She had thought of getting one of those cupid symbols but let it go on a second thought. On her round table were red roses which she had order
“One more bottle,” the already tipsy Arianna ordered. She was feeling drowsy but that didn’t bother her. The young, male bartender looked at her and scratched his head. He had already given her four bottles and yet she was requesting another, the alcohol had already gotten to her. “Ma`am, are you sure about that? You look pretty drunk to me” Even though it was his duty to serve drinks here, he kind of hated it when people got too intoxicated, especially when they were young frustrated girls like Arianna. “Give her what she wants, you are not the one paying for it,” a good looking man in black suit instructed the Bartender, he appeared to be drunk too. The bartender sighed, he could have easily refused this young lady but now that this Mr. is involved, it is impossible, only a fool would go against him. He quickly got another drink for Arianna which she accepted with her unstable hands. “Thank you.” Arianna smiled and opened the drink almost immediately, she did not care
“What? You mean Dave did that to you?” Rosie queried with anger etched on her face. Arianna was like a sister to her and she would not tolerate anyone messing with her sister like that. Arianna sighed softly. “Yes sis, but that was only the beginning of my crazy Valentine night.” Rosie, who had been standing the whole time, went closer and sat beside her on the bed. “I am really sorry Aria, this is partly my fault. I was always encouraging you with that jerk because I thought he would give you the future you deserve, please forgive me,” she pleaded. “No please don’t apologize Rosie, it wasn’t your fault, I was the one pushing on things with Dave. Forget about him; let me tell you what else happened last night. You won’t believe me,” Arianna mumbled as the memories flooded her mind like a wave. Rosie sat with full attention to know what else her friend had to go through. If that jerk had tried to hurt her in any other way then she would deal with him mercilessly. Arianna s
The scene at Rosie’s house was quite a funny one. Arianna was seated on a couch with her knees kissing and little distance between her two feet, one of her hands cupping her cheeks while the other held a hospital report. She kept staring at the paper on her hand with disbelief written all over her face. Rosie on the other hand was standing at the end of the wall with her back against it, she kept her gaze fixed on her best friend with an expression that was hilarious to describe. The reports clearly showed that Arianna was weeks pregnant, she could not believe it. How did this happen? This is why she always avoided hospitals; they never had any good news for her. The last time she was at a hospital, it was to receive the news of her mother`s death, and before then she had gone there only to find out that her father`s Leukemia was at a chronic stage and a few days later, he kicked the bucket. “Who does it belong to?” Rosie asked softly, as she had come to accept the fact that he
