Daughter-in-law strikes harder Knowing her more deeply
The seriousness in the room was so palpable, which was heavy with the bated breath of the last daughter of the Miller. For the first time in a long while, she was in a one-on-one sitting arrangement with her mother with a glass table as the middle partition, who was sitting on the twin chair across the other side.To make it a more awkward and uncomfortable situation, they were sitting in her room of all places. Emma was a hundred percent sure that her mother had called and texted her, to talk about the guy that she brought home for introduction the previous night. Early that morning when she woke up, she had seen so many messages and even mails from her mother requesting to see her urgently. If Eleanor didn't approach the matter in that hurried manner, she knew Emma would procrastinate the issue and choose to visit her at the odd hour, when the pressing issue was no longer important to talk about. And it definitely worked like magic because Emma was sitting in her room for more th

Aria was sitting behind an intricate carved wooden table, on a chair that matched the antique appearance of the table. She was now wearing a simple white dress that Dalton had bought from a nearby store, and made her change to after so much arguments and hardheadedness from him. It was when they arrived at their destination that she found out what kind of place they had come to, even if she had no idea why they were in some place like that. It was a simple but beautiful outdoor vacation closet with constructed water falls as its scenery, that was behind the secluded mountains they had passed through which was not far from the city. It was extremely beautiful to watch clear waters underneath the floor space, and different species of fishes swim through like they were in the ocean. Having no idea about why she and he had to come there together, she just sat down carefully and went with the flow of things. If something was helping her to get rid of the thoughts in her mind, she w

Things had been so quiet and down at the Millers, with everyone's head buried in their own sadness and forlorn. Emma had taken a break from the house because of her mother and lodged at a private suite, while Ellen travelled to Chicago for a random meeting she informed her mother about, on her way to the airport. Dalton and Aria were back on their non-talking terms because she said she wanted that, and he told her he would only let her go after the four months that was left for their marriage to end. That sure was more infuriating for her to hear from him, because he was playing her and she knew that it was for his own selfish gains. Right in her bedroom, was Aria sitting on the bed with a laptop that had a USB drive inserted to the side of it. She found some pictures and edited videos on the drive that the private investigator dropped, and they were the few ones from a party the family held a year before and some few ones from two years before. The one where someone had de

"I am pretty sure we all did not gather here because of Aria's father right?" They all heard Eva's voice ask from where she was sitting, which was certainly very weird for her to interface in such matters. Naturally, they were so shocked about the show that had occured before them, and heated words that Aria had exchanged with her father. It made them realize that she was not in any way kidding, and was ready to thrash at anyone that would treat her like trash. Worst of all was that Dalton had her back. He even watched her leave everyone's presence and didn't do anything, which ended up with her father leaving in shame. 'Was there anything that they didn't know and no one was telling them?' Quickly, the two sisters organized themselves and took their seats apart from each other, while the mother who was looking so gloomy and really angry cared less. She had called all of them and told them different excuses, which were reasons why they all came back to the mansion in a few

No one told Aria as usual about the upcoming celebration, and she did not care to even know about it or to participate in it. She only noticed the extreme preparations, changing of interior designs and the decorations of everywhere around the mansion. And most of the attention was focused on the banquet hall, which was just a few miles away from the mansion and was built for mainly family anniversaries. It was one of a kind that could not even be compared, to many of the luxurious banquet halls that were usually booked by elites for celebrations. Appearance and presence of people were strictly based on invitation. Regardless of how Ellen was really pissed at her mother for spilling what she told her not to tell Emma, she was still the one who helped her mother to collate the list for invited guests. Then Alex was the one that made the final arrangements for how it would be stamped and sent to them. Eva on the other hand donated expensive art from the ML gallery, to create a gr

That same evening for his mother's birthday party, Dalton had to be at another banquet that he could not avoid attending. His mother had acted up in her own way to change her son's mind, but soon gave up when she realized that it was strictly business that couldn't be missed with pleasure. There were so many reasons Dalton hated gatherings like that, and the major one was being in the limelight of the event, which was not even related to the pride others had always emphasized about. The unnecessary friendliness for mainly commensalism which he would never partake in. The strive for attention, and the untold competition amongst middle and high-level elites. And as expected, the spotlight for someone like Dalton could not be avoided. The party was the one for top young ranked socialites and top listed celebrities, as they all ambled into the hall dressed in their luxurious dresses of weird shapes and structures. The party clash was evident. The one at the Millers was for the speci

"How was the party yesterday with your mother-in-law and Dalton's sisters? Heard it was Eleanor Miller's birthday. Did it go well?" Collin asked from the other side of the phone, worried that many things might have gone wrong because of the kind of family she was married into. From the few she had said, he envisaged the worst."Wasn't bad at all," Aria replied normally, not wanting to talk about the details of the ordeal she had to go face with every member of the family, and even Damon who was probably going to become part of the family soon. It was going to be a catastrophe to be in that kind of setting, because the combination of all of them was vile. "What you mean wasn't bad? They are not good people so I am sure, that there would have been so much to worry about. Especially for the fact that there would be an intense need to put on a facade to the invitees. Are you sure you are okay?" He inquired again, extremely worried about her even more than ever, because of his encounter w

"Wait here, Anna. I would be right back. Do not open the windows, and just keep playing games like you are doing right now," Aria instructed the young girl who just nodded with attentive ears, to everything that she was being told after the car rolled into the parking lot. Aria stepped outside of the car instantly while monitoring the car that was still watching theirs, and made her way swiftly towards the elevator that led to the first floor of the company. If her left eye had caught real well when she glanced sideways, it was someone in black outfit all through, with a black cap and shoes. Frustration hit the best of her as to why such had to come up, just when she had to drive Anna to the hospital, and also had to meet her private investigator for an information she demanded from him. Her schedules were already matching up in perfection, but something she could have never imagined to happen in broad daylight was going on. "You need to get this fast. Figure out what is th
