Semua Bab A Night With Mr Lawson: Bab 151 - Bab 160

The Lawson's second mansion was a sight to behold. The automatic sensor gates that opened up as the car drove in revealing the gigantic trees that waylayed side by side was intimidating enough. Straight ahead was a beautifully sculptured fountain. Some birds played around but flew off as soon as the car approached. The building itself, a three storey tower, was a palace with no visible guards. There were CCTV cameras almost everywhere. Some were noticeable, others, probably most, were not.When Ariana had gone for the family dinner the last time, it was a different house.The guards, Ariana would come to understand, where somewhere in a room, watching the going in and out of everyone. There were two always on duty, and two others who switched shifts. Their duty was to monitor movements and report suspicions to the base, where a team of armed, trained and ever ready men were on alert. The security men needn't worry much. There was hardly any external threat to security. This was beca

"How about your uncles?" Ariana asked brushing off thoughts of Lily and her sons away from her mind."Well, there's uncle Benson who is married to Lily and then uncle Thomas.""Who should I run from?" Ariana joked. It sounded like a joke and she might have even meant for it to sound like a joke but she was really paying attention to the details he was passing on to her."Highest on the list is definitely Uncle Benson. He is Lily's husband," Calhoun explained."So Lily isn't your blood relative? Whoa..." Ariana wanted to ask why Lily commanded her husband and acted like the head of the family but she decided to hold her tongue. The last thing she needed was for someone to overhear their conversations. She wouldn't want grandfather to hear her speak of things that were none of her business."No, she isn't. She married into the family."Somewhere within the expanse of the large mansion, Lily watched the young lovers from one of the back windows with disdain in her eyes. Calhoun, the boy

"I can't go alone. You have to come with me!" Calhoun was saying as he paced around the room. Ariana remained silent. She was lost in thoughts of her own and she had no reply to give Calhoun yet."If I have to go for this business trip, then you have to come with me. I can't leave you here all alone?" He repeated, as he came to stand right in front of her. He tilted her head upward so he could stare deep into her eyes.How could his grandfather not see the love he had in his heart for Ariana? Or the love Ariana had in her eyes for him?"Ariana, pack up," he said with determination in his voice. He had made up his mind and he wouldn't go back on it. He couldn't leave Ariana alone with his family. Only the heavens could tell what they would do to her in his absence!But as he moved towards the wardrobe they had finished unpacking their clothes in earlier, he felt Ariana's soft fingers resist his pull. He turned back with a questioning glare dancing on his face. His gaze moved from her f

Bianca and Grandmother were already making to get on their feet as Elsie mentioned the camera when Lily shrieked."Matt!"Everyone stopped their movement and turned towards Lily. Even she didn't know what she was up to, but she had to stall the time long enough for one of her boys to wipe out that video. Ariana had not taken the credit card and she had totally forgotten about the cameras."What?" Matt growled."Did you perhaps check you room before coming to accuse the poor girl?" She said changing her tone to be somewhat sympathetic.Elsie got up and folded her arms across her chest. "What game are you playing at Lily?"Lily slapped a hand to her chest and turned towards Elsie, "games? You call this games?" She cried out. "The poor girl is being accused and i am trying to sort it amicably and yiu consider it to be games?"The wheels of the whole situation was changing and Ariana wasn't sure she could keep up anymore. What exactly was going on? Was Lily really being sympathetic toward

Lily stood by the door as she watched, expectantly, little Rosa's reaction. Little Rosa had no idea what was about to hit her. There was immediately a loud sharp scream. Little Rosa was on the ground, rolling and crying. Bianca had heard the scream and she rushed out to her daughter. She didn't even notice Lily was standing by the doorway. The moment Bianca got to where little Rosa was, she stood still on one spot. As if stuck. She couldn't ask what had happened. Noah also came out. "What's going on here?" he pretended as if shocked as well. Bianca said nothing. She just gazed at the ground. Frozen. Little Rosa was still rolling and crying. Grandfather also came out and some few maids stood at a distance watching and whispering. "Bianca!" grandfather called out, "why have you decided to disturb my siesta today? I thought we've had enough drama for one day?" Bianca soon unfroze and pointed at something. "What's that?" grandfather drew closer to have a good look. As he got close,
