Arielle woke up in a room not familiar to her, everything was a blur, and she could barely piece out the happenings of the previous night. She carefully glanced over trying to recall what happened but not too much came. Her surrounding was not helping in her situation. The door opens and she pulls the duvet over her face. “‘Miss your food is ready, Mr. Grey has left for work and will return in no time. He asked me to see you are comfortable so if you need anything please let me know”’ Arielle pulled the duvet from her face, and there stood a maid, she was well-dressed and mannered. The name Grey sounded familiar she remembered she had to go in search of Leo because she didn't want to marry the old man who thing having all the money in the world translated to him having any woman not to mention her. She looked under the duvet and realized she was dressed in a man's clothes. “‘Please can I have something to wear, I mean female clothes”’ the maid walked over to the walk-in closet and w
Leonard had no idea she had woken up, he stood up and walked towards her. “Youre the Mr. Grey from the very start, why didn't you tell me? Why have you kept me so long in the dark Leo.”’ Mrs. Alphia and the others knew it was time to leave the room for the couple, the hunger she had been feeling when she woke up suddenly went away. She stared at him dead in the eye, she wasn't mad, she felt everything but anger, she knew she liked him and was grateful he had come to her rescue when she needed it the most. Everything in the room now made sense, he knew her size so well for they had not only had a night together but had been acquainted with each other all this while. He bought her a new phone and had everything ready before she got up because he knew so much more about her than she ever thought. He was the one who came when her reputation was almost ruined, he was the one who came to her rescue when she felt all hope was gone. Everything made so much sense. “A contract marriage of a y
Arielle got a call, and Leonard Grey asked her to go ahead and answer it. She takes the call and walks a few feet away. ‘’Hello? Who is this?’’ the number was not on her phone but it looked familiar. “Arielle, are you this heartless? You now say you dont have my number?” Edward roar through the phone, with so much anger. He had not gotten the idea in his head about her safety and he wanted to make sure she was safe. ‘’Oh, its you”’ Arielle scoff. She was not expecting a call from him of all people. “What do you want? I dont think I have any business to do with you do I?’’ Edward could not believe this was the same woman who would do anything just some months ago to make him happy, she would cook, make him breakfast, wait for him to return for them to eat dinner together, always pray for his safety, took care of his clothes and made sure he got everything right on track and worked every day on time. He missed those days. Anabel was not ready to take care of him as areille did, she w
“Arielle you do not talk to your mother in such a way” Sir Lucas was furious, he had had enough of her lack of care and love towards Claudia, she was no longer just his mistress or a lady who stared at his home to help take care of his very ungrateful kid, but she was now his wife and woman to stand close to him. “Why can't I? She drugged me and when did I say I was getting married? You are my father and you walked up the stage before hundreds of people without asking me, you never for once asked who the finance was, and you never asked if I was ready to get married. Some woman and her daughter told you I said I was prepared to get married and the next thing you do is pick up a goddamn mic and say without even consulting me. Dad, what has happened to you, you used to love me, you cherished me, did all that love die when my mother died? Did your love for me go away just like your love for my mother?” Sir Lucas, was pissed, he was not going to stand by and let his daughter slander him
Mr. Lambad walked out from the back yard, he had been visible for a while but no own took notice of him, they were interested in what Arielle was doing, what she was up to, and where she was heading with the will testament of her mother. Sir Lucas knew he was through, he knew if Arielle left the house with those documents he and Claudia would get nothing, she would not stay by his side for he would be worth nothing. “Dad I am your own son, I came to you and asked you about everything, I asked you about the contacts, but you refused to give me any, Laura was my wife and Arielle is our child. As her father I should get everything, I should be the one who takes everything and hands it over to her. It is hers but I should control it. She will soon be married into the Grey family and our Cowell family can not let everything be handed over to Strangers.” Mr. Lambad, walked over supporting himself on his cain to couch, he had been standing for a long time and his health was not as healthy
Arielle walked out of the building with the document while Sir Lucas turned to face his father. If only he had told him at times, he would have been able to avoid everything. If he had informed me about the existence of all those documents he would have been able to avoid everything.“Dad, why do you do this to your own son, you know very well that Arielle is not a filial daughter, how can you let everything and give everything to her? Is Anabel not you part of the our Cowell family, Is Anable not part of your inheritance too?”’ Mr. Lambad walked over to him and patted him on his shoulders. “‘Know you are not as stupid as this woman has made you. I have shares in the company for the years I worked with Laura, yes everything has been spent by you and now the company is almost on the verge of falling. You have been living a life of Luxury, Anabel who is a designer is paid double her salary while others get regular salary. You have made sure to make everyone know she is special and she
Leonard Grey was not expecting Stephanie Comrade in the country at least not for the next 3 months. She was quick to hug him, but Leonard broke free from the hug as quickly as he could. Arielle had never heard from her or about her, not like she knew much about him but the little she was aware of she sure hoped this was not some secret relationship she had stumbled upon. “You didn't tell me you hired a new Assistant Leo, Karen is doing a good job and I just spoke to her when I came and not only did she help me with everything I must say you have improved this place since the last time I was here, it is beautiful”’ Leonard Grey was quick to hold Arielle even closer. “Who said I got a new secretary, Karen is handling everything perfectly like you said, I got myself a wife and not only a wife but also a companion.’’ “‘WHAT?? YOU GOT YOURSELF A WIFE, HOW COME WHAT ABOUT US…..WAIT YOU MARRIED A NOBODY?”’ Stephanie’s voice was so loud that all the staff overheard her, they were all shocke
Arielle drove around in her new car, she felt happy after so much struggle. Her last car was still good but she was going to cherish what she had not, a thought came to her mind but she quickly dismissed it. She drove over and Mrs. Alpphia was already waiting for her at the front door, she was not alone, she stood there with a man who looked more like the younger version of Leonard, and they chatted very koozie with each other. Mrs Alphia got into the passenger seat while the young man got in from the back. ‘’Well, mother you said sister is beautiful but you didn't say just how gorgeous she is. Hi, I am Daniel Grey, I know my elder brother has not mentioned anything about me, but it's not like I am surprised he is not just the talking type…oh, I see he gave you the ring already, he couldn't wait for the wedding night could he”’ Mrs. Alpphia’s attention is drawn to Arielle’s fingers, she knew that design, Leonard has been obsessed with it for a couple of months now. She took Arielle's
