Rex took a deep breath, staring at his reflection in the mirror. Today was going to be a tough day. It was the first step to prove to his father that he was better than that bastard.He was going to take over the company as the legitimate heir. His eyes drifted to the woman on the bed. She was looking so beautiful and sexy. He was happy he made the right decision to get rid of Ariana.He had never loved her, not even when they started. He was just helpless at that time. She was the only one that was willing to help him out then.It wasn't his fault that he doesn't love her or he took advantage of her love for him. He was just trying to survive. Anyone would do the same in his shoes. He had no choice but to play along with the feelings he never had.It was just a pity she got pregnant. Rex shook those thoughts away as he went to the bed to meet Vera. They had had fun all night. He reluctantly got up this morning because he had to make a good impression on his father again. "Leaving
Her eyelids fluttered slightly with her hair cascading all over her face. She tried to open her eyes but the tiny ray of light escaping the window blind pierced her delicate eyes."Ssssssss" she hissed, trying to raise her body up.She felt sore and her body seem as if it was run over by something heavy. Did she fall of the bed last night? She tried to stand up again but felt caged as if someone held her tightly.Ariana squinted her brows as a tiny bit of memory seem to display before her. Then she felt the scent hitting her. She moved her eyes downwards only to see a pair of dark yet lustful eyes groping over her body.She felt naked… she was naked!"What the heck are you doing in my room, Vincenzo?" She screamed, trying to wrap herself with the covers.She failed miserably as Vincenzo refused to let go of his grip on the bed cover. He smirked, drawing her close to himself. She let out a whimper, her body hitting the strong chest."I could remind you," Vincenzo said, grinning, his ha
"Ariana…"Rex was filled with anger seeing those two together again. He was the same man at his wedding reception who defended Ariana. Could Vera be telling the truth? Was Ariana cheating on him even before he left her? The air seems to be filled with emotions flying around. Ariana who was still battling with the hatred and hurt in her heart was on the verge of bursting out. How could he still have the audacity to call out her name? "Call my name once again and I don't mind repeating what I did the last time!" She threatened, her eyes carrying the harbored hatred as she clenched her fist tightly.This scum just ruined her mood! If only she wasn't accompanying her boss, she would have loved to teach him another lesson. Not just another lesson but a bitter one that would wipe her name from his lips. He was truly a scum! "You are truly shameless, Ari. Tell me, were you cheating on me back then? And you still have the right to point fingers at me! Why don't you just agree you aborted m
Ariana looked at the smirk on his face. It began to dawn on her that maybe Vincenzo knew about the meeting and had brought her here to witness it.But why and what could she do? His earlier words played back in her mind. He did say she could make use of him." What do you suggest?" Ariana asked, deep hatred stuck in her eyes and words.Vincenzo smiled faintly, gazing at the direction of the man who was fuming. "Who is that man?" Ariana asked, after realizing that Vincenzo didn't bring her to see any client."He is our client and business associate!" Vincenzo replied, tilting his chin toward the man."The client?""Yes.," Vincenzo replied.Then he added," He is one of the ticket to your mission."If he was the ticket, then she would stop at nothing to follow up. So, she turned to stare at Vincenzo with determination."Tell me what to do" she spat out, the venom of hatred deeply rooted in her heart."Let's meet our client first and strike the deal…"They walked up to the man speaking to
The sound of the alarm kept ringing incessantly, and her hair fluttered all over her face. Ariana grudgingly opened her eyes, still feeling sleepy. She must have slept off unknowingly last night.She felt cold all over her body as the duvet slid down a little, exposing her fair succulent skin. Naked? Why was she naked and not putting on nightwear?“Wha-ouch! Why the fuck does my lip hurt so bad?” She asked, frowning deeply while holding the lower part of her lips.Ariana wondered if she accidentally ate her lips last night because that was undoubtedly how she was feeling right now! How could such a thing happen?“Ha! Thinking about that scum must have got me depressed these days. But then, I am lucky that my plans had already kicked off,” she murmured, getting off the spacious bed.Although the bed was comfy, she needed to get dressed for work. And for getting dressed, she remembered sleeping off in the car. Could it be the maids who brought her into her room and also changed her clo
Ariana took a deep breath again to calm her aching nerves. She got prepared to visit her mother as she wrapped up her work for the day. As soon as she stood up, she came face to face with the grim face of Vincenzo.When did he come to the office? Did he hear everything she and her mother discussed? “Going somewhere?” He asked, raising his brows.“Yes, Mr. President. I need to see my mother,” Ariana replied, picking up her bag.Vincenzo was about to say more but kept silent instead. He just received a message from his grandfather about his marriage. Grandpa Alberto wants to see both of them, but Vincenzo didn't want to stop Ariana from visiting her mother.He knew he was going to get an earful from his grandpa.“Do you need something from me?” Ariana asked, staring at Vincenzo.“No. You can go. The driver would drop you there,” Vincenzo said, turning around to go to his office.As soon as he left, Ariana also made her way out of the office. When she got to the entrance, her view was b
“That's precisely what I have been wanting to tell her, Mrs. Scott”Ariana watched as the pompous-looking Rex walked into the apartment without an ounce of remorse. Instead, it was as though he was accusing her. Clenching her fist tightly, her glare was enough to stop him right on track.The unspoken question from Ariana made Rex lose his focus for a second before he composed himself.“You don't have to stare at me like that. You know why I left you, Ariana,” Rex said, smiling dubiously.“Get out before I make you,” Ariana spat out calmly, not ready to indulge herself in any words with him.He was the true definition of a disgusting scum. “Ari, let him be. I called him over,” Mrs. Scott said, coming in between the two people.Ariana turned towards her mother, with lips clasped tightly and an unbelievable scoff escaping her mouth. Her emotions were already in shambles, but for her mother to call this scum over here, totally ripped the final shards.“You called him over without thinkin
Vincenzo stared at the woman who just left the office. He had heard a little of her words over the phone. He guessed she must be talking to her mother. He didn't want to pry into her private issues because he was trying to steer his heart away from her. But then, he was worried about her.He was still thinking of what to do when his phone rang. He saw it was a message from his Grandpa reminding him of the meeting. He sighed, knowing he was going to get more than an earful from that old man.He looked at the result of the managerial post so far and found out that Ariana was doing more than just well. It seems that her determination to have power was unwavering. It was good and he admire her courage.Though he still thinks it's a waste because he was going to make sure to assist her in her plans. He adjusted his tie as he got ready to leave the office. His guards opened the door and they guided him as he walked briskly out of the building. He took out his phone so he could make a call
