The couple couldn't wait to announce the news to the other family members the moment they arrived. Grandpa Go was happy to find out, but Lena was more excited. She had yawned for a little sibling for a while now as it always got boring in the house when the adults were away. The servants usually try to keep her company but she needed someone that could play with her toys along with her, someone that will derive the same amount of excitement from her doll tea party. “So… you mean that I am going to have a baby brother soon?” Lena asked curiously and Aria chuckled. “Well, we aren’t certain yet, if it is going to be a boy or a girl, but you are going to get a sibling in a few months, that is for sure” Aria replied. “Wow… that is good news, thank you so much mom!” she exclaimed. “Huh? you should thank me too,” Oliver whined. Lena made a reprimanding face. “Why should I? Mom is the one carrying the baby, not you,” she retorted. “But I… but I contributed,” he persisted. “
It was the day of love, the 14th day of February 2014. Arianna was seated patiently, waiting for her boyfriend. She had not received any special gifts, flowers, cards or letters today but she was still happy because she would spend time with her boyfriend. She arranged for a romantic meal in a restaurant tonight and everything was set. Oh! Apart from him. Who knows why he is taking so long, it should have been him waiting for her here but now it’s the other way round. She kept tapping her fingers on the table and continuously checking the time on her wrist watch. The restaurant was blinking with red lights, and couples were walking in and out, with matching outfits of red and white color, some were with their kids dressed like little adorable angels. Of course, the representation of Eros; the Greek god of love with his bow and arrow. She had thought of getting one of those cupid symbols but let it go on a second thought. On her round table were red roses which she had order
“One more bottle,” the already tipsy Arianna ordered. She was feeling drowsy but that didn’t bother her. The young, male bartender looked at her and scratched his head. He had already given her four bottles and yet she was requesting another, the alcohol had already gotten to her. “Ma`am, are you sure about that? You look pretty drunk to me” Even though it was his duty to serve drinks here, he kind of hated it when people got too intoxicated, especially when they were young frustrated girls like Arianna. “Give her what she wants, you are not the one paying for it,” a good looking man in black suit instructed the Bartender, he appeared to be drunk too. The bartender sighed, he could have easily refused this young lady but now that this Mr. is involved, it is impossible, only a fool would go against him. He quickly got another drink for Arianna which she accepted with her unstable hands. “Thank you.” Arianna smiled and opened the drink almost immediately, she did not care
“What? You mean Dave did that to you?” Rosie queried with anger etched on her face. Arianna was like a sister to her and she would not tolerate anyone messing with her sister like that. Arianna sighed softly. “Yes sis, but that was only the beginning of my crazy Valentine night.” Rosie, who had been standing the whole time, went closer and sat beside her on the bed. “I am really sorry Aria, this is partly my fault. I was always encouraging you with that jerk because I thought he would give you the future you deserve, please forgive me,” she pleaded. “No please don’t apologize Rosie, it wasn’t your fault, I was the one pushing on things with Dave. Forget about him; let me tell you what else happened last night. You won’t believe me,” Arianna mumbled as the memories flooded her mind like a wave. Rosie sat with full attention to know what else her friend had to go through. If that jerk had tried to hurt her in any other way then she would deal with him mercilessly. Arianna s
The scene at Rosie’s house was quite a funny one. Arianna was seated on a couch with her knees kissing and little distance between her two feet, one of her hands cupping her cheeks while the other held a hospital report. She kept staring at the paper on her hand with disbelief written all over her face. Rosie on the other hand was standing at the end of the wall with her back against it, she kept her gaze fixed on her best friend with an expression that was hilarious to describe. The reports clearly showed that Arianna was weeks pregnant, she could not believe it. How did this happen? This is why she always avoided hospitals; they never had any good news for her. The last time she was at a hospital, it was to receive the news of her mother`s death, and before then she had gone there only to find out that her father`s Leukemia was at a chronic stage and a few days later, he kicked the bucket. “Who does it belong to?” Rosie asked softly, as she had come to accept the fact that he
Arianna went in search of a job. Finding a clean job at that very moment was quite difficult in Las Vegas, but luckily for her, she did find it at a restaurant. It was quite embarrassing that a graduate had to take up a job of grilling chicken, but that was how difficult the country was for people of her status. In the present world, the rich keeps getting richer while the poor get more miserable, there was always discrimination between those two because the elite class and lower class can never be compared as equals. Even to give out jobs, were on the basis of favoritism and prejudice. To get a good job, most of the people in that position requested to get in bed with her first but Aria would rather sleep with pigs than offer her body to those shameless men in exchange for a job. She was no Virgin Mary but she had her dignity to protect and self respect to keep. She was a girl trained with the right morals and character. Dave had been her second boyfriend and only man to take
“So what are you going to do now?” The excited Rosie queried. She was tickled pink by the news and wished she was in her best friend`s position right now, she was the kind of girl that always wanted attention from these rich men but was not fortunate enough. It’s quite strange how fate plays the game of life. Arianna never wanted anything to do with these rich snobs, she felt they were all heartless and selfish but here now she is carrying a child for one. Even though he smelled nice that day with very strong cologne, he did not look like someone as popular and rich as the man she saw in this magazine right now. Perhaps he dressed that way in order not to get attention, or to be discovered. “I don’t know Rosie, but I think I should go and find him, he needs to know that I have a baby for him.” “Yes you are right, you are so lucky. I am happy for you!!” Rosie exclaimed. Arianna sighed and hit her palm on her face. “Happy for me? He doesn't even know I am pregnant with his ch
Arianna stood in front of the tallest building she had ever seen. It was boldly inscribed on the roof “Stark Enterprises and Technologies”. She could see the large portrait of her baby`s father hung beside the company name, he was wearing a broad smile on his face. “Hmm… He is quite cute,” Arianna muttered to herself subconsciously. After standing out there for a little while, she shook her head and took a step forward; she walked in through the glass door that opened before she could get there and went further to the receptionist desk. The young lady she met at the desk was a foreigner, she could not guess the country but she was certain that the receptionist was not a citizen. The woman looked up at her with a face devoid of emotions. Arianna smiled at her. “Good day,” she greeted without being cautious. She had left home around thirty minutes past eleven A.M so she had no idea if it was still morning or if they had moved on to afternoon. “Welcome to Stark Enterprises ma`
