The Billionaire’s Twisted Love Chapter 33
ROBERT'S POV I had heard tales from my parents about how stubborn and formidable Mr Vanderbilt could be. He obviously had not climbed the corporate ladder by being nice. To have come from nothing to the second richest man in Chicago, he must have had to made ruthless business decisions.It was standing before him and trying to convince him to drop the case against Ariana that made it all real for me. I then knew that those tales about him were not fables but reality.Mr Vanderbilt was stone cold.“I know Ariana is your wife Robert but stay out of this. There's nothing you could say that would convince me to drop this case”.I sighed exasperatedly. He was tough as nails. Why on earth would a man want to see his daughter prosecuted for a crime as cruel as murder?I could not wrap my head around it.“You realize that if you continued with this and Ariana is found guilty, you would be losing two daughters?” I asked him. “If she is a murderer, then she's no daughter of mine”, he said fl

ARIANA’S POVIt felt like my world ended at that moment. I suddenly could not breathe and began to feel my heart beating rapidly against my chest. I swooned and felt Rob hold me steady. “What? What do you mean?” I asked.“Nate is Flora's son”, my father repeated.“What do you mean?” It was Rob this time around.I finally raised my head up long enough to look at him. I saw a shadow pass over his face. There was more than one question on his mind and my heart began to break into a million fragments. I was finding it difficult to wrap my head around this new information. Flora had a son? And my parents had withheld that knowledge from me? I stumbled again and this time held on to my father's desk for support.Life seemed to be dealing me blows from different angles.“Flora fell pregnant a year before her death”, my father said in a low tone.“You mean you've been hiding that child from me for years? Flora was hiding him from me too?” I nearly screamed.Rob started to walk towards me bu

ROBERT'S POV Damn! Ariana runned away in front of everyone.What was she thinking? Was this her form of revenge? Why couldn't she think of the little boy? A part of me wanted to stay back and handle the situation. Talk to Nate. Say something to him. Anything. But I ran after Ariana. Determined not to let her go. Thankfully, she had walked there and was now walking hurriedly to wherever she had parked her car.“Ariana, Ariana please stop”,

ARIANA’S POV The headline was a disaster. No PR manager could save me from this. Unless the investigation proved I was not Flora's murderer, I was doomed.Unable to bear it any longer, I abandoned Rob in the office and ran downstairs. It could only be Emily or Detective Parker that had told the press. They were out to get me and it showed.Rob did not come after me thankfully. I needed space from him. I had no idea why I had even run to him in the beginning. I had to learn that he would never love me as much as he loved Flora. They had a son together. I had avoided him for days since the encounter at my

ROBERT’S POV I was going crazy searching for Ariana. She was not answering my calls and I could not even reach her through any other means. Barbara had not seen her either and the thought that she was probably doing something to harm herself was driving me crazy. The media was having a field day with their story. Many news channels were doing commentaries on the case. Not only were the two richest families in Chicago involved in a paternity crisis, we were also under fire for an assumed unsolved murder.We were currently having a meeting with the board of directors and the PR Team.The Vanderbilts were present but Nate was nowhere to be seen and rightfully so. Better to keep him away from the paparazzi. They were a circus. The meeting dragged on for hours and we finally agreed that both companies will host a press conference to address the questions of the public and make sure the investigation of the murder was a transparent one. When the meeting ended, I cornered my in-laws.The

ARIANA’S POV It had all happened too fast and even now as the ambulance arrived along with the paparazzi that could never pass up an opportunity for a good story, I stood there as if in a trance.I had asked Josh to drive away as soon as the accident happened because the press would have a field day if they found the two of us together. I rode in the back of the ambulance to the hospital with Rob. Fortunately, he was still conscious even though he was delirious. I could smell the alcohol on his clothing and was a little mad at him for risking his life that way. What was he thinking? Had he not been using his seatbelt, he would be dead by now.We arrived at the hospital and he was quickly wheeled into the ER while I stood outside pacing up and down. Alone and angry. Where was Rob even headed to?I was relieved when the doctor finally cleared me in to see him and when I entered the hospital room, I felt sad seeing him connected to the machines and on drips.“Hey baby”, I whispered, si

ARIANA’S POV“Have you lost your mind?” I asked in disbelief, my voice rising by several decibels.The nurses and orderlies were slowing their steps now to eavesdrop and watch what was happening.“I would advise you remained quiet Mrs Stone until we get to the station…”“You have some nerve thinking I’m going anywhere with you…”I began to protest as Detective Parker handcuffed me.“Do you know who I am?” I demanded several times, angry and feeling embarrassed. What in God’s name was the meaning of this embarrassment?I continued yelling at the detective as he led me out of the hospital and into the police car waiting outside.I was filled with rage. Rob would wake up and find me gone and he would not know the reason. I had to find who was setting me up this way. As I thought this, I instantly remembered with utter dismay that my parents had given the Chicago Police Department license to humiliate me in this manner because they felt I had murdered my own sister.At this thought, I sat

ROBERT’S POVI knew Margaret’s announcement would hit Ariana like a train wreck and it made me angry that I could not protect her. Ariana would probably think I had planned I watched Ariana’s face go through so many emotions all at once till she settled for sadness. She said nothing and instead left the hospital room. I noticed Margaret smile and go back to her magazine. I loved the idea of spending time with my son but I didn’t want it to be like this. I really wished things were better. I understood it must not be easy for Ariana knowing how Nate had come to be.No woman would be comfortable with the idea plus Flora was her sister.We all chatted a little with Barbara inclusive and then the doctor came in and discharged me with a warning to take things easy as I wasn’t totally in the clear. I was still to be heavily under medications but I couldn’t ask for much. I had brought this upon myself due to my recklessness.I was eager to go home and begin afresh with Ariana. Perhaps this w
