“Hmm, I can only guess he must be filthy rich,”. April said

“And what makes you think the buyer is a he? I thought you knew nothing about it”. Ariana asked.

“Of course it would be a he, which normal woman buys a freaking casino. Only men make such stupid and risky decision”. April explained,” Anyways Ari, I had to go make coffee before my husband wakes up”. April added.

“Look who’s doing wifey duties, oh my gosh I am so jealous”. Ariana said teasing her friend.

“Whatever weirdo, have a nice day. Bye.”, “Bye”. Ariana answered before hanging up the call. Looking at the clock it was now thirty minutes past six. She heard to prepare for her visit, picking her cup and empty pack of cookies she walked to the kitchen, throwing the empty pack into the trash can, she gave her cup a little rinse and placed it back on the table.

She headed to her restroom for a bath after taking all her clothes off and changing into her robe. Turning on the shower, she placed the robe on the door as she stepped in the shower.

Few minutes later she was now done bathing and was drying her body, her hair was still dried because she had no time to start drying her hair, so she decided not to wash it. After applying her cream and feminine products she walked into her room to wear her clothes.

It was a knee length blue flory dress, her cousin made the dress specially for her and had gifted her the dress for her last birthday. It had short sleeves and a v neck line which wasn’t that low to expose her chest.

She just brushed her hair and pulled in a loose bun, she had applied a little powder on her face, lipstick on her lips, mascara along her lashes and her favorite small diamonds earrings.

She picked her bag and walked out of the room, she was on the fifteenth floor so it took her a while to get to the car pack, there were so many people using the elevator so she had to wait till they had all gone before she got into the elevator.

Her driver was already in the car waiting for her, she opened the car door and stepped into the car, closing the door was she sat in. Her eyes moved to the rare mirror and she met his gaze, then he looked away and turned on the engine before driving off.

It was a forty five minutes drive to her parents house, it was a big mansion which was surrounded by a high fence and thick iron gate, with heavy armed guys. She always wondered why her family had so much security and bodyguards, around them especially when there were in their house it was as if there was a special gold which they were protecting in their house. Ariana had asked when she was little why they were so many guards in their house but her mother said it was for security and protection because they were very important people.

The big gate opened and the car was driven into the compound, and parked in the car park, “You wait here, I will out soon” Ariana said to the driver before she climbed down the car and walked to the house. The surroundings were very beautiful and neat, patches of flowers and greeneries were seen around the company. When the door opened, Ariana walked into the house, it was still as she remembered it nothing had changed at all.

“Hey sweetheart”. She turned to the direction of the woman calling her, Martha who was her mother said walking towards her, dressed in a knee length pencil skirt and a peach color top, her hair was curled and pinned neatly as it well down the left side of her shoulder. Even though she wasn’t a young woman any longer she still looked beautiful and classy.

“Mum”. Ariana’s lips stretched in a smile as her hands were around the older woman as they shared a comforting hug. “How have you been?” Ariana asked as she pulled away.

“I have been good dear, how about you? Oh my your hair has grown longer now. You should get it trimmed”. Her mother said with a smile.

“Oh Mum, it’s just a little besides I like it this way. So I’m keeping it”. She returned the smile.

“Okay darling anything you say, I prepared your favorite dish come here”. Martha said as she wrapped her hand around Ariana’s arm and pulled her towards the kitchen. The kitchen was large, beautiful and neat.

Her mother took a plate from the tray and moved to the pot to serve her some food. Placing the food on the table which had everything already set.

“Come sir dear”. Martha offered a sweet smile and Ariana sat down with her mother beside her, it was her mother’s special spaghetti, Ariana could bet all the money she heard that her mother made the best spaghetti. It didn’t take long before Ariana began digging into the food. “This is wonderful mum, thank you”. Ariana said as she picked up a napkin from the table and wiped her lips gently.

“Hey baby, how are you doing?”. Ariana raised her eyes to see her father walking towards them with a smile on his face.

“Dad, I’m good”. Ariana said with a smile across her lips, David walked to him daughter giving her a hug and a kiss in her hair before he moved to his wife giving her a small kiss on the lips.

“We have to tell her today David”, Martha said brushing her husband’s arm lightly.

Ariana who picked on what her mother said looked up to the see sadness on both of their faces. “What is it Mum? What do you have to tell me?”

The two elderly people looked at each other before turning back to Ariana. “Listen sweetheart, just know everything we do, is all for you, we have something important that we must share with you”. Her father said

“I don’t understand dad, what’s going on?” Ariana said with a confused look.

“You are going to have to marry Alexander Savage”. Her mother said sadly and Ariana felt her heart stop beating at that moment the words left her mother’s mouth.
