It was Sean’s voice. I was too late to escape; Ariel immediately locked my neck using his arm.“If you make a sound, this gun will expel your fetus in a lifeless state.” He put the muzzle of his gun behind my stomach. Sean appeared along with Sam and Jared; his gaze turned threatening; he just looked at me for a split second, then looked back at Ariel.“One step means one shot,” Ariel said; my body was trapped in an ice block. Sean ordered Jared to bring Joana’s body immediately; the man lifted Joana and left this tense situation. While Sam checked Zafrina’s condition and then carried the woman’s body away from this place, there were only three of us now.“You have to pay for what you did to my father.”“My business with your father is finished, besides he can’t pay his debt to me, isn’t it all because of you? I know what you’re doing, Ariel.”Calm and seemingly in control, though I could see the fear in his eyes clouded by his vigilance. Ariel laughed; that sounded mocking. This man
My mother-in-law approached me, half running; Rani and my father-in-law were behind her. I got up from my seat and immediately hugged Mama Ramia. She started crying. She ended her hug and checked my condition, her eyes wet with tears.“How are you?? Are you hurt?? How is the baby?? Is he safe??”Panic and fear were so evident in her questions that I replied I was okay, and he was a little relieved by that. My father-in-law also hugged me; after that Rani, she sobbed on my shoulder.“He’ll be fine.” I tried to sound okay in responding to the current situation. Still, unfortunately, I failed to look strong in Rani’s eyes, just the opposite. We sat on the bench I had sat on a moment ago, my brain replaying our memories together this morning in the kitchen. I can still clearly remember everything we went through so far: all those laughs, his seductive gaze, his smile that could make women in this world melt, and all his ego and attitude that turned my world upside down. All those exciting
Shaking hands with Sean, Detective Charlie sat on the sofa across from us. He has a firm face; I’m sure people must respect him because his attitude currently looks formal and doesn’t seem very friendly. Perhaps people who work like him must behave in front of clients like today so that people provide correct information.“All the evidence submitted by your personal assistant has been investigated by us and we are connecting it with the existing case, we are very pleased with you providing accurate evidence, Mr Valentino.”“Then, what made the detective come here??”I glanced at Sean, who seemed to have an intimidating face on him. Detective Charlie cleared his throat, trying not to be affected by the stern look on Sean’s face, but it seemed my black and white knight was very good at this. My Inner Goddess looked tensed on her red sofa like I was.“The perpetrator said that your wife ... I mean Mrs Valentino, had contact with the perpetrator while still a professional.” Detective Char
I smiled as I closed my eyes; it seemed like he wanted to tell me something tonight. My Inner Goddess pulled her fur blanket up to her neck, ready to listen to a bedtime story from Sean Valentino.“Really?? I feel so married to a man who has everything like you; all men dream of being in your position. You are exceptional in the eyes of the world and mine.” My sleepiness was fighting with my consciousness; Sean inhaled the scent of my hair and buried his nose in mine, one of his arms wrapped around me like a vine.“Only my current life that many people want, before this, I was just an outcast with nothing, I didn’t even have the courage to approach you when we were children, and until now I will not be able to experience this happy life. If it weren’t for you wanting to marry me.”My life before meeting him was very different; it never crossed my mind to marry a man like Sean. My criteria are only about my life. I smiled as I thanked myself for this beautiful life.“I still want to kn
Five years Later. Enjoy the view that is currently visible in our backyard. Sean is enjoying his role as a father to our son, Danish, who is five years old; they are playing with their potato gun. Sean taught our son many things, and it’s no wonder that Danish could accept everything his father taught him, even though he could improvise well. I smiled through the kitchen window as I watched Sean act out a shot from Danish, dramatic and ridiculous. He dropped his body on the grass garden while placing one hand on the part of his heart because the bullet hit it. Danish approached Sean and then dropped his tiny body onto the man’s body. Sean hugged him, and they laughed together; my smile grew wider, seeing the behavior of the two of them.“Mrs Valentino, lunch is ready.” Mrs. Liam interrupts my time enjoying the good stuff. I approached them and invited them to lunch from the kitchen to the backyard. Danish ran towards me as I came to the father and son; I lowered myself so that I was
Hot air hit my face as I left the studio. I quickly walked over to my car, got in and turned on the radiator. I breathed a sigh of relief as the cold air filled the car and gave me a chill that felt like I was being roasted.Today I finished recording my third single, after which my contract with the management ended. My cell phone rings as I start the car."Yes, Ariana is here.""WHERE ARE YOU?"I pushed the phone away a little when I heard Caroline's screams, my manager and cousin is very loud and talkative more than my mother."I'm on my way.""Hurry up, Ana! or you'll be replaced by another model!""Okay, on my way."I stepped on the accelerator to increase the speed to get to the location where I was filming a commercial for one of the most popular Coke products.Arriving at the set, I immediately ran toward the crew who had gathered and were working on the set for the commercial shoot."Come here quickly! You are going to take this!" nagged Caroline, and I just let out my horse
I stared at my reflection in the mirror once more and felt that everything was perfect. I was wearing a pink sleeveless dress that was a bit puffy at the bottom, with prominent floral embellishments.I don't really like sexy dresses and too many open parts here and there. My mom smiled with a glow on her face, I looked at her with my cheerful smile, but I was actually having an extremely nervous fit. "Mom can't wait to see you get married, put on a wedding dress and be the prettiest," she said and the melancholy started to come out, I took a deep breath and rolled my eyes when I saw her teary eyes. I got up from my seat, then turned to face her and gave her a big hug."You will surely see this day and be happy too," I comforted her, but my heart suddenly became restless. Marriage is not on my list right now. I released my hug and we both walked into the living room."Sean, sorry for taking so long, take good care of my daughter, okay?!" My mom ordered with a smile, Sean smiled revere
Since Sean's confession that he wanted me at Ranila's birthday party, I've become more and more restless, even more so as I still vividly remember that intoxicating and seductive kiss. Three days had passed since the party, and yesterday Aunt Ramia and Uncle Abraham came to the house to turn the engagement plan into a wedding, my mother was very happy about it, and again I couldn't move.Meanwhile, Caroline was very surprised by the news about me and Sean Valentino. No matter how hard I tried, the press would eventually find out, and what frustrated me even more was that the photo of me kissing Sean at the party had gone viral in the media. Everyone out there is talking about it and I don't have the guts to show my face in public. My phone buzzed, indicating an incoming message. From Sean[Get ready, I'll be there in five minutes before we go to lunch.]After reading the message, I immediately got up from my lying position and walked lazily to the wall in the closet and picked out so
