All Chapters of A love unscripted : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Ariel didn't sleep, she stared at the ceiling of the room, her phone on the nightstand, untouched. She wanted to Call, she wanted to hear his voice. She told her side didn't care, that she needed the distance.But then why did she keep replaying the way he avoided looking at her when she left? Why did she feel the way she did? She kept questioning her feelings. She was lost in thoughts and continued questioning every emotion she felt, the way her heart pounded and her mind raced.Her door was slightly opened, still lost in her thoughts she didn't hear the door creak open or the soft footsteps padding the wooden floor. She was too deep in her thoughts.“Now tell me,” a familiar voice teased from the doorway, “who told you, you could grow into this fine woman without asking me first?”Ariel blinked as she quickly turned.There standing with a triumphant little smile on her face was her grandmother wrapped in a beige shawl, grey hair in soft waves and her eyes sharp as ever.“Grandma!” Ar

The jet touched down on the Brussels runway beneath the sharp glossy grey sky. The city had looked like a canvas of contrast, where towering glass buildings cast shadows to centuries old brickwork and old cathedrals.Connel didn't wait for the door to fully lower before stepping out. He wasn't here for pleasantries, he was here for business, control, protecting his reputation and making show Peterson paid for crossing the line.He stepped into the waiting car with Nico beside him, they were both silent for most of the drives. They passed buildings in blur stones or glass, the journey lasting longer than expected.The streets were clean, damp from an earlier drizzle with a scent of fresh croissants,damp stones, cigarettes and tram grease hovering through the air. The city was measured, subtle and expensive one you wouldn't notice its power or else you lived in. The city had an unexplainable kind of chill, Connel liked the feel of the weather. It prepared him for the business ahead.The

“I can't believe so much time has passed.” Elias uttered.“I can.” Ariel whispered without looking at him. “You left without saying goodbye.”“True, but It happened in the blink of an eye.” He stuttered and Ariel glared at him.She stopped walking and turned to him slowly. “You had time to send a message. To say something, anything. But you didn't.”Elias rubbed his hands at the back of his head. “I know and I'm sorry,”Ariel nodded and kept on walking but didn't respond. Her sandals stomped against the gravel and grass, the garden bloomed with color and serenity, butterflies flew from petals to petals. Everything looked peaceful.Elias trolled from behind until he stopped walking.Ariel turned and noticed him standing at a spot.“What's wrong now?” She murmured, folding her arms.“I'm not moving from here till I'm forgiven.” He replied firmly.“Seriously?” She raised a brow. “You always know how to be dramatic.He didn't reply.“Fine.” Ariel rushed to where he stood, held him by his

She nodded slowly and he smiled.“Good girl.”“Why stand there? Who's at the door?” A voice behind the door asked, reaching closer.“Good morning,Mr Blackwood.” Connel greeted as the door opened wider revealing Ariel's father.“Mr Wilder,” he said with a smile on his face. “Thank you for securing our house and refurbishing it.”“Sure, you don't have to thank me.” Connel responded coldly, “it was the least i could do.”The door swung fully open now, the soft clink of tea cups echoing in the background. Inside, her grandma and Elias sat around a table mid conversation.“Why don't you come in for a cup of tea?” Mr Blackwood offered, gesturing to Connel to come in. “Mmhnnn…” Ariel hummed. “We were just about…” she trailed off as Connel cut her short. “I don't mind.” Connel quickly replied, cutting her off as he stepped inside, brushing lightly past her.Ariel stood by the door, her fingers gripping the frame. She didn't follow immediately, something had shifted and she felt it.Connel w

Ariel's heart skipped a bit and then there was relief in her chest.“What am I meant to be looking at?” she asked confidently.“You sound so confident.” Connel chuckled but in a way that made his confession tower over hers.The confidence he showed overpowered the confidence Ariel carried. It made her think, she couldn't help the thoughts that ran through her mind while Connel smiled directly at her.“What if he actually knows? What if Watson actually told him? No! Watson can't tell him knowing it may connect to Ethan.” My thoughts ran round.Ariel smiled at her not because he knows what she's hiding or not but because he could sense the tension, fear, and anxiety in her eyes. He could tell she was hiding something even if he was bluffing she was falling for. He knew how wrong it was but if she had nothing to hide, her eyes shouldn't be glistening with fear.“This is my domain, my paradise, my crib. And you think I'll close my eyes while you dance in front of me?” Connel’s words cut i
