Adrian held Arabella’s hand up, spinning her around to the next step of the dance and pulling her back to himself.His other hand rested at Arabella’s lower back as he pressed her closer to himself. “Tell me Arabella, are you in love with him?” “I— Ivan and I…” She started to drop her head again, but Adrian raised her chin. “Is this my answer?” He asked, voice soft. “Does that mean I still have a chance with you?” The song suddenly ended. Arabella quickly pulled away immediately, tucking her hair behind her ear. He watched her walk back to the table and reached for his champagne glass, turning it slowly in his hand.More than enough for now.The clinking of glasses signaled the beginning of the toast as the best man climbed the stage and started his speech. Arabella reached for her purse on the table, eyes already scanning the reception hall for Axel. The adults were settling in, drinks in hand, but she couldn't find Axel anywhere around. She spotted Skylar's wedding coordin

Adrian didn't say another word. He couldn't if he wanted to. The way his past always comes back to hunt him was terrifying. “Mom.” Axel linked his hand to Arabella's as he joined them with his plushie in his arms. “Let's go in, baby.” Arabella walked away, leaving Adrian behind. Adrian's fingers clenched into a fist, regretting agreeing to her demand. Or better still, offer to buy them an apartment. After much hesitation, he followed them in. He told himself it was just to make sure Axel was comfortable in the new space. He almost believed it.Inside, Vera ran towards them, hugging Axel warmly as she introduced herself, her face filled with so much excitement. “I am your mom’s best friend and also your Godmother, but you can call me Aunt!” Axel just stared at her blankly for a while. Arabella had told her about her plans and since Ivan wasn't around to welcome them, she came instead. She looked at Arabella, then back at Axel. Then remembered. Axel was verbal. “Uh…I have a

The first thing Arabella felt was the stillness. Then the dull ache. Her eyelids fluttered open slowly, heavy, like they didn’t belong to her. White ceiling. Soft beeping somewhere close. The faint scent of antiseptic. She blinked, trying to focus— —and then she saw him. Adrian. He was right beside her bed. Leaning forward. Too close. Like he hadn’t moved in hours. His eyes were locked on her, wide… restless. Relief hit his face so suddenly it almost hurt to look at. “Arabella…” Her name came out rough, like he’d said it too many times already. Arabella sat up despite the ache, shoving Adrian’s hand off. “Let go of me, you asshole.” Adrian stood up, carefully inspecting the bandage on her forehead, “Are you alright? Do you feel pain anywhere else?” Arabella scoffed, shoving Adrian's hand off, “Oh, please. Don't play me for a fool. I saw you.” She pulled out the cannula in her palm. “Arabella—” Too late. “I know you were the one that tried

Catherine slowly reached for the papers scattered on her lap, her hands trembling as she did.Adrian turned his back afraid to ask the question that would shatter his world. Still, a part of him already knew the answer. His mom was loud, she wouldn't be quiet for this long if they weren't through. Still he had to ask. “Mom…” his voice cracked, “What do you have to say about this?” Silence. Adrian’s legs weakened and he had to grab his chair to stand properly. “A–adrian, are…are you accusing me of—” “Mom, don't fucking lie to me!” He thundered, turning sharply to face her. “Tell me what the fuck this is!” “Why on earth did you send money to Dad’s killer?” Adrian yelled so loudly veins throbbed in his throat. But Catherine refused to admit she had anything to do with the money. She pinched her trembling lips together, her eyes red with anger, ‘Serena, you really went ahead with your threats.’ But now wasn't the time to think about the betrayal. Now was time to manipulate Ad

By the time Arabella returned home, it was already late, but Vera was still at her place. “Arabella, why didn't you answer your call all day? How did it go? I was so worried.” Vera’s creased brows as she ran to hug Arabella said it all. Arabella sighed, dropping her bag on the bed as she sat up on the sofa, “Why are you still here? Have you forgotten you are married now?” “Derek is working late. He will come get me.” Vera explained, “So tell me, what happened? How did it go? Why are your eyes so red?” Arabella pressed her lips into a small smile, “I cried a little.” “But she’s been taken into custody.” Vera let out a sigh of relief. She pulled Arabella into a hug, patting her back gently, “Congratulations dear. You took one enemy down. Two more to go.” Arabella flashed a small, half-hearted smile, nodding like she wasn't so sure. “I'm just glad I got Father the justice he deserves.” Arabella said, “But I did something small for myself too.” Vera raised a brow. “I made Cathe
