ARIANNAI meandered towards the huge mahogany double door of Ian's house, he did say he wanted to see me and I was eager to know what was going on.He probably wants to show me his new business model or his lastest milestone achievement or maybe just some random talk but either ways, hanging out with Ian was always nice.Clutching onto Simon's hand, I calmly knocked Ian's door with my other hand.In a split second, the door opened up and the Ian's eyes were fixated on me and Simon."Arianna I am so glad you are here, come in" He said with a beaming smile."Yes I am too, were you expecting someone else? Bailey?"I asked cheekily, I loved teasing him about Bailey and he always responded with a chuckle but this time it was different."No, I thought she came back here again" He said whilst combing his hair with his five fingers."Who? Someone came here before?" I inquired quizzically."Yes, Rose was here an hour ago" He uttered plainly, the mention of her name caused my brows to furrow inv

"Right this way Mr and Mrs Hilton" Daniel, Arianna's manager smiled formally at the duo as he led them to Arianna's office.Anne beamed with excitement, ready to meet the world renowned chef whilst Lucas was anything but interested at this meeting.For someone whom they had to beg to meet, he was not in anyway excited to meet her. It spoke alot about her personality to him.But Anne wanted to hear nothing of that sort. All that mattered to her was climbing the social ladder of the society. She was ready to lick the soles of the vague chef if it will get her to be the talk of the media. Somehow it saddened Lucas' heart alot that Anne did not prioritise family ties the way Arianna did. And this fault of hers came to limelight with the sudden illness of his mother. Anne never liked to go see the poor women on her sick bed. Lucas would always force her to go and even when she went there, her face would be disconcerted and permeated with disgust at how nauseating the entire room felt.

ARIANNA The chattering and animated voices of children filled the air. Flowers of various kinds created a colourful tapestry that decorated the entire landscape of the park. It was so tranquil and serene. I sat in the heart of the park which had a picaresque pond. Its surface shimmered with the reflections of the sky above.Amidst this enchanting scenery, children played about, running freely and climbing on the whimsical structures and swings of the park.It was like an infectious happiness to me, beauty in the eyes as I watched Simon play with so much exuberant energy.The more I stared at him, the more I came to realise that indeed, he did have a striking resemblance to Lucas, his father. The very thought of that name but back horrible memories to my mind and gave me a cold chill. It is a surprise that Lucas has not even found out about Simon yet.I actually expected him to barge into my life demanding for Simon ever since my first unexpected meet up with Anne. I feared that Ann

LUCASThe sun's warm embrace filled the room.The atmosphere had a lukewarm temperature, complimenting to the beautiful sunset that shun across the horizon.Mother laid flat on the bed, pale but still breathing. Constantly her chest rose and fell as she inhaled and exhaled without lifting a muscle.I sat by her bedside, glaring at her with a mixed feeling of sadness and happiness.It was always saddening to see my mother still in this condition but I was happy that the baby shower was a success."The baby shower was a success mum, it actually went better than I expected and it is all thanks to Arianna and her profession culinary skills.I really wish you were sound enough to witness it all but I know that very soon you will be back on your feet. The designs and decorations were top notch, I know how much you loved to see the decorations for any event properly designed.And I know that the designs would have really left you in awe because they were very nice not to talk of the deliciou

ARIANNA "How dare Lucas come to my office to spill such rubbish at me? He is so insane! What do those Hiltons want from me Goddamit!" I cursed outloud as I drove to my house in a fit of boiling rage. My hands maneuvered the steering wheel of my car in anger and I did not waste time in honking at any driver whom I felt would not drive faster out of my way.Lucas' words were still ringing in my ear, creating a chaotic ruckus within me.How dare that egotistical and selfish man come to my office to rant such nonsense to me!? Who even gave him the audacity to do such!I mean what more do those freaking Hilton's want from me!? Have they not done enough harm?When I was married to their family, Lucas never loved me! Not even for a nanosecond.He did not blink my way and he was repulsed just by seeing my face everyday. He literally threw me out of his house just to be with someone whom I called my best friend! And now, now that I have decided to start life afresh, he wants to create more
