Third povIt was midnight, and Lucas sat in his casino, smoking and sniffing as he looked at his gold watch."The woman is late again," Richard, his right-hand man, remarked, and Lucas gestured for him to be quiet."Watch your tone. You wouldn't want to anger her," Lucas said with a smirk."Boss, she has no right to keep you waiting. This is the second time she's done this, which is unacceptable," the man retorted in frustration.A woman entered the casino, wearing a sleek outfit that accentuated her long legs, a hat, and sunglasses that added to her allure."No need for the commotion, I'm here now," the woman said as she sat across from Lucas, who greeted her with a smirk."You're late!" he exclaimed with a wide grin."Oh darling, I wouldn't lie. I enjoy it when a man waits for me. It excites me," the woman replied as a waiter brought a bottle of champagne."You're lucky I like you that way," Lucas said, playing with his cards. The woman joined in, betting millions on the game.They p
I wore a white dress that reached my knees, tied my hair up in a bun, and put on flat shoes.“Shouldn't you be scared? She may sue your ass,” Freya said, nagging for the past hour since the news of Britney's mom reached me. I rolled my eyes at her; she was indeed very funny.“I haven't met the woman before, so I can't say,” I mumbled as I walked out of the room. I headed to the living room and could hear a different voice coming from there.As soon as I stepped in, my eyes fell on an elegant woman sitting on the sofa. She was a beautiful white lady with the whitest skin, and I could tell she was tall and very beautiful.As soon as her eyes fell on me, she looked at me from top to bottom. I was expecting a smile on her face, but she frowned.“Meet Ariana, my daughter,” my mother chimed in as she rushed to me and held my hands. I narrowed my eyes at her as she pulled me.“Good afternoon, ma'am. Nice to meet you,” I greeted.“What's so nice about the evening after you tried to kill me, yo
Ava glared at Britney, I could tell they both didn’t have a good relationship by the way they stared at each other.“Call off the lawyer, Britney,” Ava ordered Britney who seemed so pissed off.“Why mum?” She groaned.“Why does she seem to interest you all of a sudden? She tried to kill me!” Britney exclaimed.“Get a grip of yourself, Britney, you must have pissed her off enough for her to attempt that,” Ava responded with a small smile on her face as she watched how Britney's face twisted in rage, I could tell she was pissed off.“She wouldn't get away with this I promise you,” Briteny said as she stormed out of the room.The woman watched her leave before she turned to me, she smiled at me as she came to sit next to me, my mother watched her in suspicion, and I couldn't help but see that something wasn't right here.“Excuse me but, I thought you were here to scold me for trying to kill your daughter not…'' I trailed off as she held her hands up.“No, I wasn't, I know my daughter for

Ariana’s POVI opened my eyes as I groaned, while sitting up, the door opened and I watched Bella step into the room, she held the sheet as she came in.Soon as she saw I was awake, her eyes widened in surprise, as she rushed towards me.“Oh praise the heavens you are awake,” she squealed as she rushed towards me and hugged me.“Oh Bella”, I groan, while touching my head, which seems to be pounding from the stress.“You need to stay the hell away from that girl named Briteny, she is no good for you,” she told me and I nodded, I couldn't say why I was fainting quite often but I could say it had something to do with the pregnancy.“Ms. Bella can you get something for the pain,” I requested.“You have been asleep for more than thirty hours so you are meant to feel that way,” she responded and I gasped, I looked at her to see if she wasn't kidding.“You're serious, I was asleep for three days straight,” I asked and she nodded.“But it's okay dear, you must be hungry and exhausted,” she res
I froze as I heard Brian's voice. He never came to my room except the time I had fainted at the engagement party. I was scared out of my mind and afraid of what he would want.“Come in,” my mother clipped as she sat on the couch and I covered myself with the bed cover.Brian slipped into the room, his face held high. He looked at my mother who stood up and went to hug him but he frowned at her as he shaked her off him, with a frown on his face.“Baby, why are you being so cold?” my mother asked in a soft voice and I rolled my eyes but Brian seemed pissed off, for a moment I thought he heard what we were talking about, and my heart was beating with anticipation of what it may be.“Come in,” Brian commanded as the maid stepped into the room,her head bowed in deference. "Show me what I found," Brian demanded, his gaze piercing as he kept his focus on my mother. The maid trembled slightly as she produced a pregnancy test, the evidence of my mother's secret laid bare for all to see. I g
The wedding was tomorrow, and the worst scenario was I didn't even know a thing about the wedding. It felt like it wasn't even me getting married.I honestly thought of telling Lucas about my mother's pregnancy but I was scared to find out what he would do.Can I do that?The risk was too great and what if he wanted a test to confirm the abortion? Just as I was contemplating, the door opened and Freya stepped into the room.“Oh you're awake,” she chipped as she came to be by my side and hugged me.“Where have you been?”I whispered as she hugged me.“Out of town, I wanted to get you a wedding gift,” she chipped as I rolled my eyes and got out of bed.“I am not even feeling, this vibe of the wedding you are talking about,” I rolled my eyes again, thinking that the wedding did something to me.“Then come let’s go for a party, just you and I, tomorrow you will be married, and who knows what will happen then,” Freya mumbled and I rolled my eyes at her.Marriage sounds weird and foreign to m
We were dressed and ready to go soon. I wore the party dress underneath and swore a jacket on top, to avoid unwanted confrontation from my mother or anyone else who may want to stop me from leaving.And it worked perfectly as I was able to walk out of the house without problems. My mother was nowhere to be seen and it made me wonder if Brian was still mad at her for keeping her pregnancy from Him.I knew my discussion with her wasn't over and I doubted we would have one again before I wed Lucas, it confused me and scared me that she wanted to leave now, which would mean something went downhill for her and everything didn't go as planned for her and she wanted to leave, my mother would never want that for herself.But I have accepted my fate, there was no going back and I am never to return to my old life again, I have accepted that Lucas is to be my husband from tomorrow and the child will be his if everything goes as planned after all, he had the power to kill me if he finds out I li
