The Truth I Wanted; The Mother I Hated

Arielle Ryder smiled at me before leaning forward. I was so ready to finally hear the truth. “If you want to know the details,” he said slowly. “Set up a meeting with your mother. Tell her you want to speak with her.”My face remained. My mother. “How..how did you know that?” I asked, my eyes narrowing. He sighed heavily and turned toward the window, the sunlight catching the faint smile on his face. “I was there with you and Darius’s mother at Cedar’s kitchen.”My eyes widened. “You saw my mother?”He nodded. Knowing Leo’s name was definitely easy for him, so knowing Darius’s mother was way easier. His parents partnered with my father. “I also saw how you reacted when she tried to touch you.”My jaw tightened. “Go easy on her,” he added. “She’s doing her best.”I looked away. Why was he defending Vivienne? “She’s entirely different from your father.”I swallowed hard. The silence that followed felt heavier than before. Why did every answer I wanted somehow lead back to my

Would You Still Love Me, Darius?

ArielleDarius’s eyes widened. “That’s what it says, right?”Somehow, I nodded. What the fuck?“Why does she want to apologize?” I asked. He shrugged. My thoughts spiraled. Why would she?I mean—she had kidnapped me. She had mistreated me since the day I started working at her diner. She had nearly killed me and landed both of my friends in the hospital simply because she couldn’t let things go.There was no forgiveness in that.Besides, Sylvia was never the type to suddenly change. She was definitely manipulating us. She thought she was. “I’ll just cancel—““No,” I cut him off sharply. “Tell her we agree.”His brows furrowed. “You sure?”“Yes,” I handed the phone back to him. “Tell her we’ll see her at her diner at six tomorrow.”His eyes widened slightly. “Are you sure? This is Sylvia. We can obviously tell she’s lying.”I nodded. “I know. But I just want to hear what she has to say.”She might know something I needed. And if Ryder heard about this, he might just piss himself.I

Sylvia’s Version

Arielle “Would you still love me?” I asked again, my voice softer this time. Darius gently tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. “At the end of the day…yes. It’s always going to be you.” “Hmm.” “I didn’t fall in love with Leonard Hills’ daughter,” he continued. “I fell in love with you.” A smile slowly spread across my face. Darius once loved me because I was Leonard’s daughter. But now, he loved me despite Leonard being my father. “Babe, have you seen yourself?” He asked, his voice turning playful. “Fucking gorgeous.” I laughed softly. I guess I’d finally corrupted him. “And to add to that,” he added. “I wouldn’t have existed if I were not meant for you.” “Hmmmm. Come here,” I pulled his face toward mine and kissed him tenderly. Oh, dear. We had forgotten that we were still in the car. And Nathan was still sitting in the driver's seat, listening to everything we had been saying. “That’s enough.” I tried to pull away, but Darius wrapped an arm around

Before Forever

Arielle I was so mad. I wanted to pull her hair and kick her with my heels nonstop. How dare she blame me for all her mistakes?“You think I don’t know Tiffany’s alive?” Sylvia asked. I stopped. Then I stood. “So what if you know?”Sylvia chuckled. “What I’m trying to say is that I didn’t mean to kill her. Ryder just went out of hand.”“Okay. I’m done here.”I grabbed my purse and walked out of her office. I couldn’t keep listening to her excuses. She had never once blamed herself or even shown remorse. Such a cunning bitch!Darius joined me in the car shortly after Nathan drove out of the place. I was still furious when we got home, I didn’t even wait for Darius. I walked inside and straight upstairs. I pulled off my heels and bounced angrily onto the bed. I closed my eyes in complete frustration. Why had I gone to her place in the first place?Why did she have to mention the past she had with Darius? Did she still love him?Gosh. When Darius lowered his eyes earlier, I had st

The Final Exam

Arielle “Right, where’s my phone?” Tessa asked, getting up even though she could barely feel her legs. I also stood, searching for mine. Finally, I found our phones further away, where Tiffany had left her bag. I checked the time. 8:30 p.m.“I’ll call Darius to come pick us up.” As I squinted at the screen, trying to search for his number with my tired eyes, Tessa suddenly snatched the phone from my hand. “Remember when you said you didn’t want to let him know your plans for tonight?”“What? I said that?” I raised my hair, trying to think.“An hour ago, you said he’s been acting weird around you, like he’s hiding something from you. So you said you didn’t want him to know your plans for tonight.”I rubbed my eyes slowly. “Right. Of course. Thank you, Tessa. You’re a lifesaver.”“I’ll call an Uber to take us home.”“Are you two fighting?” Summer asked while staring at the sky. “No, I wouldn’t call it a fight. It’s just…I can’t really tell what’s going on with him. He’s been dist

She Said Yes!

Arielle As we stepped into his house, I could already tell from the lights glowing from outside that something was happening tonight.Something was definitely going on. And either way, we would definitely have sex tonight. I had tried. It had been days.“Are you ready?” Darius said, stretching out his hand.I snapped back to reality. “What—yeah. Of course, baby.”I took his hand and walked inside slowly. Not a single staff member was outside. “What’s going on?” I asked. “What’s with the lights?”“Nothing. Just hold my hand.”I trusted him. Then he pushed the front door open. The lights dimmed instantly. Not so dark that I couldn’t see anything, but the kind of darkness that made the entire room feel intimate. Almost like a bedroom when things were about to get heated. Soft chandelier lights glowed above us. Then, as we turned to our right beside the staircase, my mouth fell open. Small, beautiful candles lined the floor, while flowers were arranged around the grand staircase. P

Private Things

Arielle Tessa paused. “I know my eyes don’t deceive me,” she finally said. “That’s Summer’s sister.”My brows shut up. “What?”“She’s Summer’s sister. Her name’s Jasmine.”My eyes widened. No wonder she felt familiar. She looked so much like Summer, but in a subtle way.Like…what in the hell?For a second, I got scared. I thought she knew something about me, or she was someone connected to my past.I guess I needed therapy. “I need to call Summer and let her know that her sister is back in town.”Just as Tessa said those words, Jasmine’s eyes found me. I forced a smile. She bowed slightly before looking away. “Wait,” I said, turning back to Tessa. “Are they not on speaking terms?”“Not really,” she replied. “Jasmine abandoned Summer when she started her first year. She came once or twice, but Summer wasn’t around.”I frowned. “What? Why? Aren’t they sisters?”“Same blood,” she answered quietly, nodding. “But they don’t really like each other. It’s really complicated.”She paused

A Darker Truth

ArielleDarius got on the bed slowly before leaning down and kissing the top of my forehead. He loved doing that. “Thank you for choosing me,” Darius whispered, kissing my neck gently. “God, I love you so much.”I smiled and touched his hair. “I love you, too.”His breathing grew heavier as he buried his face against my neck, leaving soft kisses there before I could even gather my thoughts.Gosh, I was so excited. I pulled off my dress and watched as he slipped off his pants. He leaned closer, brushing his lips against mine as he sighed softly into a kiss. My pulse raced as the moment he grew more intimate. Darius kissed me slowly, making every second feel deliberate. Then he pulled me closer. I became speechless. My eyes remained locked with his as I struggled to catch my breath. I couldn’t explain the feeling. I only knew that I wanted him close. My hand slowly moved down to his groin. I moved it back and forth slowly.“Don’t stop,” I whispered. “I really want this.”Darius

Another Family He Murdered

Arielle Ryder lowered his eyes and walked back to his chair. It took him almost two minutes to speak again. “When I found out,” he finally said. “I confronted your father, and he didn’t even deny it. He said he’s been the one taking care of me and my twin…and training us since we were five. So according to him, I had no right to be angry.” What the fuck? “That was when I knew…it was time to quit,” he continued quietly. “I wanted to be on the good side for once. So yes…I know what it means for someone you love to die at the hands of someone you call family.” He paused. “Your father and my twin brother…they were my family.” I studied him carefully. “I’m sorry about your parents,” I said. “You must be think you wouldn’t have turned out like this if they were still alive.” He scoffed. “Yeah, and my twin wouldn’t be in this mess either.” A brief silence settled between us. “That’s why I need to know what’s coming for me,” I said. “Please. Just tell me what you

The Wedding Plans

Arielle Darius didn’t say a word to me on our way back upstairs. He just looked helpless and frustrated. I felt sorry for him at that moment. How had he never shed a tear over everything he’d been through? If it were me, tears would’ve already filled my eyes. I never knew how to handle emotional distress. By the next day, Darius and I exchanged our usual pleasantries before getting dressed for work. I was glad to see he was in a good mood. His employees welcomed us as though they were just meeting us for the first time. They handed me so many presents and flowers that I couldn’t stop staring at. I was more than delighted. I could already feel myself becoming famous. I also met some of Darius’s business partners during the meeting, except for those Asians. I was hoping they’d come for the wedding.At the same time, I felt bad because I hadn’t shown up for them when they needed me. I didn’t show up for Anna’s weddings. A few days later, my friends and I started preparing for th
