Nicholas and Mike was shocked, looking at Ariana and Tristan at the door. “Uhm, it's not what you guys think, Ari. We were - just uhm- we- I mean, since when have you been standing there?Are you not supposed to wait for us in Uncle's office with your parents?” Nicholas asked flustered.He didn't know whether Ariana and Tristan heard his conversation with Mike.And even if he wants to tell her now and shout to her that Kyle and Kylie were actually their biological children, he didn't want it to be now.He wanted to at least surprise her with a little party consist of only him, Ariana, and their kids.“Nicky, why do you look so tense? I just asked why you two were hugging each other happily. And look at how you are being all flustered. Someone might think there's actually something going on between you two.And you Mike, why do you keep calling my husband with all sorts of endearment? Example, Baby, Love, Babe, Sweetheart, etc.I mean, even if you were to be real siblings, you should m

***ONE WEEK LATER***It's finally a week later and the wedding of Tristan and Mike.Things were actually moving faster than they had expected, yet they had to move with the flow.They didn't just have a small ceremonial wedding, Mr. and Mrs. Shelton made sure their son's wedding was spectacular. They didn't care about what the public will say regarding their son marrying a man.All they want is for their son to settle down and have someone he can call his own.The whole country has been eager for this particular day. Just the idea of the country's second god and the king of playboy getting married is something they never expected. Some of Mike's flings or one-night stand felt angry and heartbroken. Mike will always tell them that he wasn't interested in getting married and now this…*********Ariana was shocked as hell looking at the dresses spread on her bed and all over her room.Her relationship with Nicholas is growing into something which scares her a lot.She feared when the t

All eyes turned to the person and saw that it was Nicholas's wife, Aria ( Ariana ). "How dare you--" Esther's words were cut off by Ariana with another slap. Daniel dashed forward to Ariana but Anthony stood in front of her and punched him really hard in his jaw. Yes, he couldn't hit Esther because she's a lady, but that doesn't imply he can't hit Daniel. "You don't fucking touch her!" Anthony said to Daniel. In fact, he was having the same cold aura his senior brother displayed always."And you, what did you say about my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law? I don't know who you are or the family you come from, but be prepared to face the consequences of insulting my family because I won't let it slide." Ariana said coldly to all of them before turning to Anthony... "Tony, I know your handsomeness can't match up to my husband, but you are third to none. How can you date someone so lowly like her?" Ariana asked him with a smirk and Anthony could tell she was mocking him. Anthony j

Ariana and Nicholas went back inside when Mrs. Shelton was making an announcement. They held each other's hand and kept staring at each occasionally until they reached their seat and took it.“Where the heck have you two been? Do you know much I've been searching for you?” Abigail asked them and feigned annoyance.Ariana chuckled at her before replying… “We were just outside, Abie. We went out for some fresh air. It was getting uhm-- you know-- uhm…" Ariana started her speech normally, but later on, find it hard to explain. Besides, she was just lying. She couldn't tell her what happened between her and Nicolas.“It's okay, no need to explain. But I hope you guys didn't have a make-out over there?” Abigail whispered to her ears and even wiggled her eyebrows, making Ariana blush.“Stop teasing her, Abie, and shut that mouth of yours. I can't hear what the old woman is saying!” Nicholas playfully scolded his sister who immediately zipped her mouth, letting Ariana heave a sigh of relief.

After they were all outside, and their cars were parked in front of them, Nicholas tried to let go of Rose's hand, but she refused to let go of him.Nicholas turned his face toward her and raised an eyebrow and said… “Can you let go of my hand now?” Nicholas asked Rose, who shook her head vigorously in no.Ariana and Anthony found it amusing looking at Rose, who is now clinging to Nicholas as if her life depends on it.“I didn't know you can be this clinging bitch. Since when did you become this clingy?” Abigail mockingly said and asked, but not in anger.“I've always been a bitch since I was born. But I became a "clinging bitch” just a few minutes ago.” Rose used her own words to retort back to her.Ariana chuckled at their bickering. This is the first time she's seeing them like this ever since she got married to Nicholas. Nicholas massaged his temple, clearly frustrated by Rose's clingy. He heaved a sigh before saying, " Okay fine, get in the car.” Nicholas said curtly. He agreed
