“OhmyGod OhmyGod. Thank goodness it is still here.” Ariana was so happy. Michael was lost, “Why would anyone want to steal your necklace, it looks out of date and doesn’t worth much.” Ariana started glaring daggers at as if she wanted to do it literally, “Stop talking if you don’t have anything good to say.” Michael was bit taken back by her cold tone, “But I told no lies.” “Shut up! This is the only thing that I have left of my mother. She gave it to me the night before she disappeared. It was given to her by her mother who got it from her mother and the list went on.” She explained slowly as if Michael wouldn’t understand if she said it any slower. “If it is that important to you, why don’t you were it in honor of your mother?” Michael was trying to verify why they would want to steal an old necklace with that was left by her mother. Ariana noticed that he still did not get it. “My mother ran away from home to Westron City where he met my Dad, they fell in love and got
Michael took Ariana into a Jewelry store and whispered in her ear, “My wife, we will need to choose a ring.” Ariana played with her fingers and blushed at his words ‘My wife’. Since Adam left her for Gina, she never thought of marrying anyone else. It is nice but it seems it won’t be for long. In the blink of an eye it will be one year and they will both go their separate ways. “Since we will only be married for one year, why get wedding rings?” Ariana felt that wedding rings was not necessary for a nominal marriage. They weren’t in love and Michael would never love her. “What is going on in this head of yours?” Michael did not know if he should be amused or irritated by her sometimes. “I am just being prepared.” She pouted. “Prepared for what? Do you want to divorce me so badly? Why don’t you wish for us to grow old together?” he asked her so many questions in one breath, Ariana had no think clearly. The atmosphere suddenly became stiff. The staffs in the Jewelry shop di
The next day Michael and Ariana left home together. Ariana wasn’t so keen on the idea but Michael wouldn’t let her have her own way. She sat at the car window looking the unfamiliar scenery. She did not want cause any gossips going to work with him but what could she do. She would just have to bare it for now. Michael seemed to sense her discomfort and he pulled her closer to him, “Tell me what is bothering you so I can fixed it.” Ariana only looked at him for a few seconds then turned away pouting. “You can but you won’t.” Michael narrowed his eyebrows, “And what could that be?” this woman was so silly sometimes. Ariana did not want to waste her time talking to him so she did not answer. Michael pinched her chin for her to look at him. He kissed her lips lightly and said seriously, “I cannot help you if you don’t tell me what is on your mind.” “I want to be transferred back to Marketing and I don’t want to be seen with you to avoid gossip.” She was almost pleading with him
“I saw the pictures on the Business Forum and Alex is investigating it.” Michael was checking out her expression to see how she actually handling the rumors. “I’ve already removed the pictures and I will also send an email to end all gossips. This is a business company and not the market.” Michael was fuming of how they addressed Ariana as a prostitute. No one is allowed to disrespect his woman. “I haven’t offended anyone in the company. I knew something like this would happen.” Ariana did not really care but she still felt a little dispirited over what happen. “Do you think it has anything to do with that employee yesterday?” Michael suddenly remember something and asked. He was also thinking that highly and likely it was not her. “No, it is not her. The pictures on the forum was taken before we ran into her.” Michael answered his own question. Ariana looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes, “I don’t think it is her either but who else it could have been?” Ariana was not
“Let me go. Let me go!” Gina screamed at the officer. The officer didn’t even look at her. It was like she wasn’t there. “Why did you detained me to this filthy place? I don’t want to stay here. I want to go right now.” Gina was enraged and she started screaming louder and louder. When she saw the four people coming in, she shut up same time but started again when she realized Ariana was amongst the four. “Sister, you vicious woman! This was all your doings. My parents had taken care of you for twenty years and this is how you repay them by having police detaining their favorite daughter.” “Gina have you lost all reasoning?” Ariana thought what Gina said makes no sense. Michael went to chair on the other side of the table. He pulled Ariana to the chair next to him so he could face Gina. Malcolm was dumbfounded. He is the Detective but he had to stand. Michael saw his astonished but only looked at him coldly, “You said you’re a big shot Detective and can’t even handle a mere w
“Dad, how can I be unreasonable when your precious daughter was the one who had done evil things.” Ariana tears finally fell. “It doesn’t matter what your sister has done, she is the younger sister and as big sister you are supposed to forgive her if she does anything wrong.” Ashton did not like Ariana so he did not find what he had said wrong. People coming in and out started to look at the family. An officer approached, “Please this is a police station, lower your voices.” “I will not lower my voice until I see my daughter.” Angela roared at the officer. Alex carried Ariana away, “Let me bring you to the vehicle to wait for the President.” Ariana wiped her tears and nodded. When she was walking away her father grabbed her by her arm, “Tell them to let Gina go and this is a misunderstanding.” “Dad, how can it be a misunderstanding when there are solid evidence.” After all these years of ill-treatment, Ariana still cannot believe that her biological father could treat her s
Samantha Miller is Michael’s childhood friend that his parents paired him with. To Michael’s memory, Samantha is a kind and loving person that always care about others above herself. She was sensible and that was one of the reason his parents took a fancy to her. Michael knew people change and he haven’t seen her for several years now. “People change. I only agreed back then because I was young and trying to please my parents. I now have my own thoughts and who I want is sitting in that car right now.” Michael pointed at the Mercedes May Bach parked at the side. “Do you only like her because she saved you two years ago?” Malcolm was curious why he chose Ariana. She is indeed pretty but Michael was not one to fall for beauty and he never get close to women either. “All you need to know is that she is special.” He put out his cigar and walked to the car not casting Malcolm a second glance. “Can we have a drink later?” Malcolm shouted from behind. Michael only waved his hand wit
Ariana and Michael spent the next three weeks in harmony. Ariana was transferred to the Marketing team successfully. No one mentioned her relationship with the President in the company anymore for the sake of keeping their jobs. Ariana liked her department because no one took advantage of her here. She liked it peaceful even though they only respected her because of Michael. The employees doesn’t know of their flash marriage. They only believe she is being kept by the President and she had no intentions of clearing it up. In the President’s Office Michael was sitting behind his desk going through the piled contracts on his desk. He was a bit absent-minded lately with his head full of Ariana and her warm smiles, the way she blushed and trembles every time he touched her. The way she pouted and folds her arm like child when she is angry and she would laughed at him if he ever make a mistake or do something she thinks is silly. My little Rabbit, I hope we can live like this foreve
