The Miller family was over the moon to be whole again. Grandma and Grandpa Miller lived separately from their son and daughter-in-law close to the mountainside because they liked the quiet and the nature of it. Without sparing a second, Grandma Miller packed her bags and rushed over immediately with her husband the moment she got the news. Grandma Miller fell in love with Ariana but she was even more ecstatic over the fact that she took on her entire image. She was beautiful, Samantha resembles her mother but she was not inferior to beauty either. The girls stayed with their family for the entire week to catch up and even though Ariana doesn’t know much about her family, she didn’t feel like an outsider. The girls had introduced their husband and fiancée respectively to their family. The family felt something they haven’t felt in two decades, Contentment. They rejoiced when they heard about Ariana’s pregnancy. Michael was satisfied with the happiness of his wife and their
Five years later “Aunt Sienna, Aunt Sienna.” A little squeaky voice came rushing in the living room. “Caliana.” Sienna laughed and lift her off the ground. Her niece is so adorable. Sienna walked to the couch and sat her on her lap, “Tell auntie what is going on.” Caliana blushed and rest her head on her auntie’s tummy and pouted, “I came to play with big cousin but he wants to play with Jordon.” Sienna pretended to be upset, “I thought you are here to see me. I feel so cheated.” She smiled and kissed her aunt to make her feel better. Soon there were footsteps and children playing coming towards the big living room. So apparently Christopher and Emily met at the wedding and became an item. They got married few months after dating and they did not waste any time in starting a family. They now have an almost four year’s old son Jordon Matthews. Samantha and Malcolm waited two years before they decided to start a family. They had this adorable little girl in Sienna’s arm
“Help! Help!” Ariana heard a faint sound coming through the alley near her apartment that she rented with her best friend. “Please help me!” The same faint sound came again but Ariana did not want to stop because it was dangerous to stop in the alley this late to help a stranger. It could be an intentional set up. She kept walking but her sensitive conscience would not allow her to leave someone who needs her help stranded. ‘Why do I always have a death wish? Ariana, please walk away’ she muttered to herself. By the time Ariana came back to her senses, she was already standing next to a bloody body, almost unrecognizable with a mixture of mud and blood. “Sir, what happened to you?” “Let me get you to the hospital.” “No” he insisted. “… but you’re wounded” Ariana exclaimed. “I know but I... I can clean myself up.” He stuttered due to his wounds. “I just need a place to stay for tonight.” Ariana did not know where she got the braver
“Michael… Michael Matthews” “Huh?” Michael chuckled, “Silly woman, didn’t you ask for my name?” “Oh yes, I almost gave up on that.” She finally said coming back to her senses. “So why were you injured?” “I was attacked coming from a bar.” He said through gritted teeth. Michael knew it was not done randomly, if his thoughts are correct then this has something to do with being the heir to the Matthews’ Group. He does not have full proof but he will indeed investigate to find the culprit and mastermind behind tonight’s incident. “Why would you go to the bar alone?” Ariana thought maybe he went to pick up girls. He might be a playboy, he has a face for it. ‘I did not notice he was this handsome before, maybe it was the dirt that hid his beauty’. Ariana felt inferior to his majestic beauty, it was unfair to females. “I was not alone, I just went outside the bar to make a call when I was attacked. I was taken from the bar and they left me in the all
Two years later… “Why do I have to get married for the family benefits?” Ariana tried to reason with Ashton, his father. They are forcing her but Ariana is no longer that easy to be bullied. “Shut up! Why shouldn’t you get married to help the family?” he shouted at her. Hearing her father’s words Ariana cannot believe this is actually her biological father. They had been pestering her throughout University to get married to all sorts of businessmen to help their company in which she always refused but it now got worse after she completed her studies. It is almost as if she does not have a choice in the matter. “Sister, what is wrong with getting married? Father and mother had been taking care of you for years. This is you paying them back.” Gina Fearon said softly as if she was doing Ariana a great favor. I looked at her as if she had grown another head. “Why don’t you do the honors of helping your father with the company since you are so concerned?” Ariana sai
Ariana Fearon got to Matthew’s Group building thirty minutes early since she had to go to HR to finalize her contract. Ariana is really excited for her new job but nervous at the same time, she had already given up on Fearon’s Group since there is no place for her there. “Babe, you will do great here. You are now working for the highest paying company in Westron and I just wish for you to be comfortable.” Emily Smith is even more excited than Ariana. It is hard to tell who is going to work here. She even volunteered to bring her bestfriend to work for the first day. Emily had inherited her family’s company, so she is quite busy these days. Ariana smiled and couldn’t help rolling her eyes at Emily. “Why are you so excited?” “Of course I am excited to see you doing something you love. It is time to put that damn family of yours in the past.” Emily must have seen the hurt in Ariana’s eyes so she stopped, “I am sorry babe, and you know I can get carried away sometimes.” “It is no
Ariana was surprised by the sudden close contact. She subconsciously moved away. “Mr. President, please behave. Is this how you treat your employees?” she had never quite understood him and she definitely didn't want to be one of his toys. Mr. Matthews face went gloomy and his voice laced with ridicule, “You would prefer to be hugged by Mr. Johnson, right?” Ariana’s face went colorless all over again, ‘what did he mean by that?’ Her forehead started sweating. Michael saw her nervousness and he became angry instantly, “What, you didn’t think I would find out?” Ariana clasped her hands together and looked down on her feet. “It... it is... not that” she stuttered. She was wondering if she should tell him the truth. Forget it, it has nothing to do with him so why was he even angry. “Then what is?” Michael sneered and looked down at her with an expression hard to read. “Tell me, why would you get engaged to someone like that. Don’t you know his reputat
As soon as Ariana was about to enter the Secretary room, she heard the voices of three of her co-workers. “Did you see Ariana in the canteen at lunch?” “No, I didn’t and she hasn't come back to the office as yet.” “How dare her, lunch will be up in the next three minutes and she hasn't come back as yet. Ariana don’t blame me for reporting you to the President, you might go faster than you came.” That voice was Janice Lee and then there was loud laughter from Laurie Michaels and Phoebe Watson. “Janice, you don’t have to be so hard on her. It is her first day and you already made her your enemy.” Michelle Sinclair said with a pleading voice. “Shut up!” “Are you taking the new girl side?” “How much is she paying you to defend her?” They all attacked her at once. Michelle was the last one that came to the department before Ariana, she suffered a lot under their hands but at least they never made her clean the office. They usually send her
