Vincenzo looked around his office, he didn't want to be here today, he knew that well, he would rather be at home with his beautiful wife and unborn child.But he also needed to work and sort things out and leave the house because he despised the idea of lying to Ariana.She didn't approve of him getting to the root of the matter, she was chill 'It's out there already' she said, justifying her nonchalant attitude toward the whole issue.He is like that she was not worried he would hate that, with her condition she need not worry. He had read that somewhere.As much as he wanted to let go of the issue, he also wanted to find out where the press had gotten the information, it couldn't have just been out there. He knew how much he had guarded this secret.Finding the truth was not going to be easy. He knew this, these journalists and media people can be very uptight, and getting answers from them would be extremely hard.But he was a determined man and was set to do anything within his po
Rex sat in the far corner of the cell monitoring the other mates who were shooting glares at him. His mind was filled with thoughts. "It has been a day or two since I got trapped in this cell, while Ariana is out there with that fool," Rex clenched his hands tightly as waves of emotions overwhelmed him. "As long as my plans work out, I will never regret being in this place" He thought while still watching them. One of the burly men in the cell pointed at him and the duos behind him nodded.'I can sense trouble,' His eyes narrowed slightly as the huge man in the middle stood up and walked towards him with a cold and sinister look on his face."Newbie, isn't it about time you pay your respect to the elders in this place? I gave you two good days to come to your senses. Haven't I been generous enough?" He smirked. Rex calmly stared at him for a while then at the men behind him. He kept quiet and focused on the plan he had in mind."Hey you!" The man yelled angrily."You punk! Aren't
Hours passed by in a flash and the sound of people whispering drifted into Rex's ears. He tried to open his eyes but it seems like his muscles weren't ready to answer him.He struggled for a while but when he saw that it was pointless he laid on the bed and listened to what they were saying."Just take a look at how broken his fingers are, not even surgery can repair them. It is so unfortunate that he has to end up with those people. It seems they haven't stopped their endless and stupid traditions. Oh! I feel for him," A male sighed heavily and from the look of it. It seems he was in the prison hospital.'Was I taken here by them?' Rex thought."Come on, stop it already, look at the way you are speaking?! It's not like the one sleeping on the bed is innocent too! They are all criminals!" The white haired man yelled angrily."They committed a crime! They went against the rules and regulations of the country and so they must be punished by the law! So it is better you keep your mout
The man from before stepped out from the prison with a calm look on his face. He took out his phone and dialed a number."Hello boss," the speaker said from the other side of the call. There were noises from the background but the man knew exactly what was going on. He looked around and whispered a few words to the phone."Get the car ready and make sure you monitor them very well. The man has already asked us to unleash the plan so we must clear this case tonight and leave no trace behind, you get that?" He asked slowly, still looking around. The responder replied with an affirmation and the man nodded and ended the call."Let's see how you're going to escape from this. You're going to die tonight and I will make sure I leave no traces behind. This job caused me a lot and it's a risk to my life," He muttered then left the place.The man stepped inside his car and drove out of the place towards the bustling city. A few minutes later he packed his car in front of Vincenzo's mansion."
"What are you talking about?" Vincenzo asked after a long silent contest between him and Ariana."The men who attacked are behind bars," She sighed heavily then leaned against the chair. Her hands went to her belly, rubbing it with a soft smile on her face."My heart sank when I heard the news about you being in the hospital, my love."Ariana muttered, her hands were still rubbing her tummy but one could see the sadness in her eyes."Come here," Vincenzo said with a worried look on his face. He won't forgive himself if anything happened to her.And the last thing he wanted at this moment was for her to be sad.Ariana glanced at him then stood up from the chair she sat on. She slowly walked towards him and sat on the bed."Look here, Ariana. There's nothing for you to be sad about. I love you and that's the one thing you should know." He cupped his hands around her cheeks.Ariana stared into his eyes for a while then nodded."I'll stay strong," She smiled. She held his hands for a while
A chubby young man with glasses, walked into the busy office where people were either answering calls or typing away on their computer. He was the manager of the busy company and he had a very special announcement to make. "Gather around everyone for a very special announcement!" His voice rang out.Ariana and the rest of the workers all gathered around to hear the important information that made the manager relieve them of working during working hours. It looks like it was indeed a very serious matter."The new CEO, who would be addressed as president, will be here after lunch break. So everyone should make sure to be in the office five minutes before the end of lunch break" Manager Sam said.They were all silent at his announcement. Although they wanted to protest, they couldn't. No one was ready to lose their jobs."And not just that. The most important information is to the ladies, please. There is a strict instruction that any of you shouldn't be an inch close to the president.
Ariana was still busy with her work when her phone suddenly rang. She wanted to ignore it but she saw it was Shirley, her best friend and roommate. "Shirley… what?!!"Ariana was so flustered at what she heard that she didn't have time to think. She just picked her handbag, rushing out of the office. Without looking at where she was going, she bumped into a strong muscular scent. It was like she hit a brick wall. "Ouch! It hurts!" Ariana looked up to see the most dashing man she had ever seen. Her eyes were locked to his piercing hazel ones. His brows were perfectly shaped like that of a woman and his high chiseled jawline seems to accentuate his… beauty? Or whatever you might refer to.Although the man was devilishly handsome, his oppressive aura swept all over Ariana's body and she shivered in fear. But then the call she just had snapped her off her fear."Sorry, I… I am so sorry…" Ariana managed to say as the man's grip tightened around her slender yet curvy waist.As if he had
When Ariana got to the office, she was lucky that the president hadn't come in yet. She quickly sat down and started working on the files on her desk.After ten minutes the Manager came again to announce that the meeting with the president had been moved to the next day. Ariana was relieved because it means she can take the day off to go to the hospital. She quickly finished her work in less than thirty minutes, then she walked to the Manager's office. She knocked on the office door and went in after she was given permission."Sir, I would like to take the rest of the day off. I want to go to the hospital," Ariana said." Oh, was it today? You told me about it. Luckily, the president didn't come today so you are free to leave but make sure to come early to work. You can leave," The manager said, dismissing her." Thank you so much, sir!" Ariana was grateful as she went back to her office desk so she could pack up.She needs to go to the hospital to check herself. The signs she was ha
