Mariam could not take it. Her eyes turned red with hot anger, “Stop being a bitch, Hannah. You and I both know the true story of why Ariel’s has been avoiding you. Good friend?” Mariam scoffed, “What good friend would send her friend to…”“Mariam!” Arielle yelled her friend's name with wide eyes, stopping Mariam from angrily spewing out what should be kept a secret.Mariam slammed her mouth shut and could only glare at Hannah who was now smelling at her knowing fully well that they wouldn't be able to defend themselves. They could not possibly say the truth out in front of everyone. Not only would it paint Arielle in a bad light, everyone would know that she slept kelvin. Hannah could still turn the story in her favor anyway and deny it. Everyone would believe Hannah because they regarded her as their queen in the modeling industry.“What? Where did I send her to? Go one, tell us?” Hannah said as she stretched her hand wide, “I’ve always been good to Ariella. Helping her get jobs in
They ended up crashing at Mariam’s house because, according to Ariella, she’s been feeling suffocated in Kelvin’s big mansion and staying out for a long time would do her some good. What Ariella did not plan on was falling asleep on Mariam's couch while they were watching a movie at eight at night. Mariam could not carry her to bed and her couch was soft and comfortable enough, so she just covered Ariella with a thick blanket and went to her room. She joined Ariella in the dreamland as soon as her head hit her pillow. Ariella was feeling groggy and disoriented when she first opened her eyes at the first stroke of dawn. She’s gotten used to sleeping on the bed in her room at Kelvin’s house. It was softer and larger than this couch she was laying on, so she was quick to recognize that she was not at his house. She also wasn’t in the house she lived in with her mother before she got pregnant and had to move. What first came to her mind as she was still laying on the couch was that
Ariella’s eyes dropped to the mess she made in the sink with the tissue paper, but that was the least of her concern. Her breathing was coming out with difficulty, and she felt like she was soon going to have a heart attack. Why can’t her life go smoothly even if for once in her entire existence? Why must everything be fucked up? Hannah being angry at her and trying to take it out on her because of Kelvin’s abandonment only meant that she needed to go back to her former routine of staying indoors and only coming out to visit her mother at the hospital and when she needed to go for her checkups that Kelvin magically finds time to go for with her. Her hand moved to clutch her heart through her chest as she ironed her mouth, trying to take in gulps of air to open up her lungs since her nose was no longer working well. At first, it was still the same and her chest remained close up but as she kept repeating the process, things changed and at last she felt her lungs open up and fresh ai
Ariella brought her hand up to her forehead. Mariam noticed it and her distraught expression. She cocked her head to the side with a frown, “Are you alright?”Ariella shot her a look, “We left Kelvin’s driver outside last night. Do you think he waited until this morning?”“Eh?” Mariam looked confused for a minute before she finally caught up, “You asked him to leave last night, he refused. Him staying overnight has nothing to do with you.”“Stop acting heartless. He was only doing his job.” Ariella scolded.“Good thing you know that he was just doing his job. It’s a nice and big car, big enough to contain him. I’m sure he had a good sleep.”“You are impossible.” Ariella groaned before she turned to walk out of the kitchen while arranging her hair with her fingers. She moved to the door of the house, ignoring Mariam who was following behind her.“Where are you going?” Mariam asked Ariella when she began to move in the direction of the building’s elevator.“To check on him, stupid.” Ari
Arialla froze and her eyes widened a little as she looked down at Maria. “Kelvin was home last night?”Maria nodded, “Of course, he was home last night and was also worried.”Ariella did not know if Maria was trying to get her boss into her good books or not.“I did not know he would be coming home last night.”“Nothing to worry about. He was happy that you decided to spend some time with your friend.”“Hmm.” That was the only response she could give before she began to walk in the direction of tnt stairs that led to her too.“Eh, Ariella,” Mariam called behind, stopping arialla from placing her foot on the first stairs.She turned back to look at the older woman, “Yes, Maria?” Maria looked like she did not want to speak but needed to do so, “There’s a little video of you that’s been circulating the internet since last night.”Arialla already had an idea, in fact she knew what this video was already but she still went ahead to ask, “What video?”“A video of the little confrontation y
Dear lovely readers, I know I’ve been very very slow in my updates of this book and for that I do apologize. My readers from Chasing His Rejected Luna know that this is not the way I update. I’ve been sick for months and I’ve been struggling to write even with a drip inserted in my hand because I don’t want to leave y’all hanging. I hope and pray that I’ll recover soon and return back in good health then we’ll go back to faster updates. I hope you’ll understand. Thank you.
Wait, what? Was Gladys planning on defending her against Hannah?As much as Ariella needed help with Hannah, she knew that Gladys getting involved will just make the whole thing messy. Bells would go off in Hannah’s head if Gladys was to get involved and everything would just blow over.Kelvin only ignored her and she was coming for Ariella. If Hannah found out that she was pregnant with Kelvin's child, it would be all over.“She can’t just move on with her life, can she?” Gladys continued, oblivious to Ariella’s thoughts, “She always made my son feel less of himself most times because he loved her and it made her act like a God. He gave her everything wanted she yet she played him for a fool and yes, he was a fool for her. Sadly. Guess she found out too late that she can’t live without him.”Or more like she feels that she’s lost one of her toys and so she’s angry that she can no longer control him again, Ariella thought with a deep sneer on her face.“It’s pathetic that she keeps go
1 Ariella fidgeted nervously and wiggled her hands together. She had received a call from the hospital five hours ago that her mother collapsed. Her mother's surgery that was scheduled for five weeks later has been brought forward because of this. The doctor was demanding money for the surgery, and she also had outstanding debt for the drugs her mother's doctor was kind enough to give to her on credit. After her father's death, Ariella's mother fell ill, so she had to drop out of college and look for a job. In the process of looking for a job, she met beautiful Hannah, who helped her secure a position to become a model. Since Ariella was beautiful and had a good shape for modeling, she was able to get a spot in the company, but she could never go far. She had no connection, she was not willing to sell her body. Most of her resources were snatched by the other models. Even after two years in the modeling industry, she was not making enough money to take care of her mother's med
