Ariana looked at the city from the view her window displayed right in her office. Los Angelos h very busy place it was just half past nine and everywhere was so filled with people going on with their daily businesses. And here she was again in her office like usual, every day with the same routine. She sighed, what a boring life this was. She had the money to do whatever she wanted and so she used to think it was more that enough for her but as years went by, she realized money couldn’t give her what she wanted in life.
Although she had been to more than forty different countries, over a hundred 5 star hostels and restaurants in the world, and she bought the most expensive designers clothes, shoes, bag and jewelries but it wasn’t still enough. She never had a true friend until two years ago when she met April, they have been very close back then and they still were but April had gotten married some months ago and moved to a new country with her husband. At the end of the day everyone had their life to live. That was the sad reality that Ariana had come to see. Her big doors swung open as her personal assistant walked into the office. “Ma’am, the new driver is here. He’s waiting downstairs” Lora announced looking at the back figure of her boss. “Send him in,” Ariana said without turning to look at her personal assistant “Okay ma’am” With that Lora walked out of the office closing the door gently behind her. With a loud sigh, she turned around to look at the mirror by her side, she had a pair of blue long pants and a white long sleeves t shirt. Her black hair in a high pony tail, and just a light makeup on her face. She looked good, she said to herself and walked over to her chair and sat down waiting for her new driver to arrive. It was already ten minutes later, she raised her hand to look at her watch. She didn’t like waiting for people especially if it was her employees. Picking up her phone she was about to call her PA when the door suddenly opened and Lora walked in with someone walking behind her. “What kept you so long? You know I don’t have the patience to wait for anyone? Ariana scolded her personal assistant but her eyes didn’t miss the smirk that appeared on the man’s face and almost immediately it was gone. Her eyes moved to the man, and she was almost speechless. He was dressed in black pants and shirt with a black leather jacket, his brown hair was styled neatly and he had a pair of black shades on. He looked too good to be a driver “I am sorry ma’am, there was something I had to attend to” Lora said adjusting her glasses. “Alright, so who is he?” Ariana asked as she looked at the man from head to toe, he was really huge and tall, compared to Lora who was standing in front of him, he was really huge. “He is the new driver,” Lora said almost immediately placing a file on the Ariana’s table. “Hmm,..” Her eyes trailed to the file on the table and she picked up to file and flipped through the pages her eyes scanning every word. “You can leave Lora” she said “Okay ma’am”, Lora turned around and walked towards the door, closing it behind her. The room went silent after Lora left, her eyes were on the file while the man’s eyes were on Ariana. “Sit Mr...Aiden” Ariana finally said looking at the man. He moved towards the chair in front of her and sat down resting his arms on the arm rest. For someone who was here for an interview was way too relaxed, Ariana said to herself. “So tell me about yourself Mr Aiden” she asked. “What do you want to know about me miss? Everything is boldly written in the file” His voice calm and deep. “You....” and again she was utterly speechless, how dared this man talk to her like that. She frowned. “Mr Aiden, I am not here to play, you better get serious. And do away with the shades, I want to see your face” She commanded. A smirk appeared on the man’s lips, “Are you sure miss?” He asked as if he was making sure if she knew what she was saying. “Yes, take it off now” She said, her voice a little louder than usual. “Okay” He said, and slowly, he reached to the shades and pulled off steadily, his eyes were closed as the shades left his eyes, and he opened his eyes, immediately holding her eyes in his. The room went silent once again, Ariana had been uttered speechless for the third time in not less than an hour, he had the most beautiful eyes she had ever seen. Light grey eyes, and they shone as he moved him eyes around, and she felt herself swimming in those gorgeous eyes of him, forcing her eyes to leave his eyes. Her eyes moved to his pointed nose and elegant thin lips, his high cheekbones stood out in the face. He was truly perfectly sculpted by the creator Himself. “Staring is rude miss” His smirk now widely appearing on his lips, his voice distracted her from her embarrassing stare. She immediately looked away to hide her embarrassed face. From the side of her eyes she saw wear his shades back and she was thankful for that, she had already made a fool of herself. She cleared her throat and look back at him. “Why do you think I should employ you Mr Aiden” she asked trying to calm her nerves. “You have no other candidate and just like in the file, you saw I have experience in driving, safely and I know the town pretty well” He said confidently. “And how much would you like to be paid?” She asked him. “$10,000” He answered and Ariana’s eyes almost bulged out at the statement he made.Ariana opened her eyes to see her surroundings covered in smoke, she kept hearing a buzzing sound in her ears. A dry cough that escaped her lips as she slowly stood up to her feet. “Come on lets go, can you walk?” She heard someone say from behind her. She turned to look as who it was “Let’s go, the car is waiting for us”. Alexander said placing his hand around her waist before lifting her up. Three men dressed in all black rushed towards them, from the way they behaved Ariana could tell they were working for Alexander. “Don’t worry, I will carry her, so check my car” He said and headed towards the car, he placed her gently on the back seat of the car and sat beside her. “Are you both good?” Carlos asked turning his head to look at them at the back seat. “Yes we are good, she’s still in shock she will be good” Alexander said looking at Ariana who was resting her head on his shoulder. “Alright, I will be taking us to the penthouse it’s the closed to this place”. Ca
A/N: This chapter is supposed to come before chapter 24 which was honeymoon, I made a mistake while uploading, ****** Ariana felt her heart drop to her stomach, her eyes couldn’t believe what it was seeing at this moment. This had be some kind of joke or something, she opened her mouth to talk but no words formed from her mouth. The man in front of her just stared at her, he had no emotions on his face. “We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this wonderful man and woman”. The priest said with a smile, “please bring the rings here”,the priest added, a little girl came to their side with a small pillow in her hand where the rings laid. “Alexander Savage, do you take Ariana Smith as your lawful wedded wife, promise to hold and to love, in sickness and in health till death do you part”. The priest asked looking at him. Alexander’s eyes were on her when picked the ring from the pillow, pulled her hand forward and slipped the ring into her fourth finger. “I do”. H
Ariana was very much confused, she had never seen Alexander look so alert before he always had this calm demeanor and now he was like a totally different person. “We don’t have much time, walk fast Ariana”. He said without looking at her as he hold onto her hand tightly. When they finally got to the car, he entered the car and shut the door lock, pulling the seat belt over him he started the engine of the car. “Use the belt”. He said again without looking at her. She immediately did as she was told and watched him in silence, she had a million and one questions running in her head but she decided to just let him be for the moment because it clearly did look like a time for questions and answers. “Carl, I want you to track a car for me RV-441, do it now I will tell you everything when I get her to a safe place”. He said as he placed his earbuds into his ears. Ariana opened her mouth to speak but she stopped herself and just stared at him, she was beyond surprised how
Ariana’s breath hitched after hearing those words leave his mouth, this man was just unbelievable they were talking about something serious and here he was talking about...oh lord she to herself, she would have slapped her face with her hand but she couldn’t because this man was holding her arms. “Get off from me”. She said between her teeth. “No I won’t, you have to promise me that you would never such a thing like that again”. Alexander said. Ariana almost laughed at this man, so he was jealous she said to herself. “Why would I do that Alex? Besides you can do as you please I won’t be stopping you, I swear”. She smirked at him. He just stared at her still holding her hands in place. “You are going to be punished Ariana, you are being a very naughty girl right now”. He said so calmly. “Get off my Alex before I make you”. She grinned at him. Amusement flashed in his eyes, “Oh really? Then do it, make me Ariana” He smirked at her, he wondered what she would do to
When she was done with her work, she found the driver waiting for her and she entered the car with a sigh, she had a good day even if she was still bored at work, she was probably going to have a more boring day at home. She came out the car and walked into the house, she asked about Alexander from one of the security men and she was told he had gone out to do something. After taking a refreshing shower, she walked out of the restroom and changed into a loose shirt and black shorts. she quickly blow dried her hair and walked out of the room. Her eyes nearly went wide like saucers when she saw Alexander walk down the stairs of the other wing of the house with a woman by his side, the woman wore a short revealing black dress and had heavy makeup on her face. Ariana felt her heart squeeze in pain and for some reasons she felt jealousy flow through her. What was this man doing with that woman and who was she? She asked herself. She walked forward to them to make sure
Her neck had a love bite that was big and dark and it was a big spot. A frown popped up on her forehead and she narrowed her eyes, grabbing her powder from her bag and began to apply the power on her neck. Slowly covering the hickey on her neck, she pulled her hair to cover the spot on her neck. The silence in the room was so awkward she didn’t know what to say, “I will go get you coffee”. Lora said and walked out of the office. Thankfully Arianna was able to release the breath she didn’t know she was holding. She cursed at Alexander again for doing something as shameful as that, just then her phone rang and it was here mother who was calling . “Hey mum, how are you doing”. Ariana asked in a soft voice. “I’m good sweetheart, how are you doing?” She answered from the recover. “I am good Mum, how’s is father doing? How is everything there? How is the business going over there?” Ariana asked. “Everything is fine sweetheart we are all doing well and the business is going
