ARIEL'S POVThe journey home is very silent as I’m burning with fury right now. If perhaps he had listened to me, we wouldn't have been stuck in that dark place.“I'm sorry.”“There’s no need for that; your actions clearly show that you don't feel comfortable at my home, and that’s why you insisted on leaving,” I replied angrily with my arms crossed, looking through the window.“Ok, let me just tell you the truth. I don't like a stuffy place, and I don't think I’ll be able to withstand it. Telling them about it, will feel off, that's why I insisted,” he explained, to which I’m still not satisfied with.As we get home, we meet Aiden's car outside, and I quickly ask Killian to stop the car. Killian parks the car, and I rush out to meet him. As it is already late at night, and I don't want any issues with Alex, as he might ask me why I brought him into his house, I suggest having our conversation in his car.I watch Killain drive in immediately when he sees Aiden approaching their car.“
WILLIAM'S POV “Am i interrupting something?" I interrupt the two friends' conversation, which they seem to be having about Ariel breaking up with a guy. As she raise and sees me, she quickly springs up from her seat with a wide smile."No, of course you are not. Thank you for making it here," she said, and I wonder why she always smiles.“ You are welcome.”“ This way please,” she lead the way while I follow her.Ariel takes me round the gallery, showing me their artwork, but I just keep my gaze fixed on her while she explains the story behind the artwork. On sighting a thread on her hair, I lean in closer to her and help her to pick it out. She stops in her tracks immediately she feels a touch on her hair and looks at me, and I show her the thread I removed.She lets out a small smile and then continues. After showing me all the artworks, I decide to buy everything.“You are buying all the artworks?” She exclaims with her loud voice filling the entire room, and everyone's eyes are
ALEX'S POVAs I emerge from the car, my gaze meets Aiden's, who trembles in fear immediately he sees me. I don't say much as I approach him, but just ask him why he’s here.“Why are you here? I thought I already made it clear to you the last time, so what exactly brought you back to my house?”“She invited me.”I look at Ariel, who keeps banging the car, trying to get out.“That doesn't look like an invitation to me,” I say as I slowly move closer to him, wrap my hand around his neck, and then lead him to my car.As the car moves, I can see him already trembling, and he gathers a lot of courage to even say the words he said.“Where are we going?”“A place where we are going to have a nice conversation. I doubt you knew there was a CCTV on the house and I was watching everything” “I'm sorry, I really had no plan to take it but Ariel gave it to me, I refu….”“Save it.”The car suddenly stops, and I hear a knock on the door. Rolling down the glass, I see Lex.“What should we do with him
EMELIA'S POV"Good morning!" I greet as I gently sit beside the bedside and place a kiss on his forehead.Killian moves to raise up his head and draw me nearer, slamming his lips on mine, and we exchange a passionate kiss."Breakfast is ready," I inform him as I break away from the kiss and then stand up from the bed, holding his hand and dragging him up."I think I still need a lot of sleep right now," he says as he uses his hand to rub his eyes like a kid, but I drag him into the bathroom."You better be fast before the food turns cold. My microwave is no longer working," I lie because I know that is the only way to make him come out of the bathroom very quickly.I head outside the room to the kitchen and then dish out the food and then serve it at the dining table. As I serve the food, Killian comes out of the room with his hair dripping and his shirt unbuttoned, showing his perfect six-pack, and I can't help but admire him and keep on staring at him."That’s already full," his voi
Today has been really stressful, as I got insulted by my boss again. Aleric has been acting crazy for quite a while now and even threatened to have me demoted. Just because of what? Just because that bastard is trying so hard to put his slut in my position, but that's definitely not going to happen as I've worked my ass up here, and I won't let anyone take it away from me.I let out a small sigh as exhaustion weighs me down, and a good massage is just what I need right now. As my mind wanders, I think of my man. Yeah, I've got an amazing guy I'm marrying tomorrow. He might not be the most handsome, but his smile is adorable, and his hot, sexy body is what every woman craves. Aiden and I have been together for six years, and he's the only guy I've ever been with as he gave me no reason to look elsewhere.I reach for my phone and dial his number, but he's not answering. After the third attempt, I decide to go over to his place, and if he's not at home, I'll just wait for him. Heading str
"You look very beautiful," Celine compliments behind me as she slowly caresses my shoulder, lowering her head with her cheeks brushing against mine.Our eyes meet in the mirror, and she flashes a quick smile at me. I quickly shift my gaze away, her touch feeling disgusting, and her presence alone makes anger surge within me."Are you guys ready?" Emelia's voice finally saves me from this demon, and Celine chuckles and then heads out of the waiting room.My fists tighten as I watch her leave, as today is supposed to be my happiest day, but I can't find a single bit of happiness thanks to her.My mind doesn't want to go through with this wedding, but I know the embarrassment, insults, and disappointment my family would face if I break it off. Fiona's marriage crumbled after six months, and I saw what she went through when she divorced. Not only her, but what my entire family went through when she moved back home, and opting for such an option will bring me nothing but such a fate.With E
“Maybe it’s because of the recent events at my wedding,” I guess because I don't even know why the reporters are here.“At least, I am able to escape from them, that's good enough,” I let out a small sigh of relief and then make my way to Emelia's house, bursting through the door.“You guys won't believe…..” I pause when I notice the somber expressions on their faces.Sensing something amiss, I ask, only to have Katherine wordlessly hand me a laptop. My heart sinks as I stare at the screen, and I can't believe what I'm seeing right now. There, plastered across the internet, is a photo of me with a damning caption:"The Mayfair's Heir's Dirty Secret.""I understand now why the reporters are here, so he is a rich guy?" I share with them, but they continue to give me puzzled looks."Please, don't act strange. I'm already facing a new problem without resolving the old one," I explain to them, recounting how the reporters unexpectedly intruded on my privacy and then threatened to sue them a
CELINE'S POVI slam the laptop shut as I see the news of Ariel getting married to Alexandra. I had thought her life would be ruined if I succeeded in stealing her man, but now she’s found something even better.I know she catches a glimpse of us together, but I'm taken aback when she still chooses to proceed with the wedding. However, my satisfaction soars immediately she slaps Aiden at the altar and runs away. My delight grows even more upon seeing a photo of her in a hotel with another man; it seems she has finally met her downfall. Little do I know that the man is Alexander Mayfair, the very man I have been trying to win over, only for her to steal him away from me once again.It later dawns on me that I have unknowingly orchestrated this twist of events by sending reporters there, trying to make a headline of a woman who abandons her husband at the altar and goes to the hotel with another man."Why does everything good thing belong to her?!" I yell in frustration, unable to contain
