Chapter 63 Max POV My heart sinks into my stomach after Ariel finished telling me everything that happened back at her mom's apartment when I got back home. From her description, I'm scared that her biological dad would turn out to be... Hell no! It can't be possible, but the name she called is familiar and I can't deny that fact. "Don't worry... Everything will be fine, ok?" I whisper and kiss her forehead, giving her an assuring smile. "What should I do, Max? I finally found my dad after living all my life without him... Mom doesn't seem like she has forgiven him, and..." "Maybe you should talk to him... Ask him why he had to leave your mom behind... And when you settle things with him, you can try to talk to your mom then. If you need my help, I will be here, and I promise you," I cup her cheeks in my palms and assure her, as I stare into her beautiful eyes, and she slowly nods her head. I pull her into my arms afterward, hugging her tightly. The last f
Chapter 64 Ariel POV Three days later As Henry drives me down the road, many thoughts flood my mind. It's afternoon, and I scheduled a meeting with Mr. Daniel at a restaurant, or should I say he was the one that scheduled the meeting? Well, it doesn't really matter who did. "Are you ok, ma'am?" Henry asks as he glances at me through the visor, and I quickly nod my head, even though it's written clearly all over me that I'm not fine. I'm nervous and also scared of what we are going to discuss there. I am meeting my dad for the first time in my lifetime, so it's only normal to be nervous, yeah? Yes, I met him a few days ago, but we didn't get to talk, so it's literally the first time we are going to be meeting today. We finally arrive at the restaurant, and I hop out of the car before I walk into the fancy restaurant. I spot him sitting on the other end of the restaurant, and I take a deep breath, walking over to him afterward. "I'm sorry for stressing you all the way here," He apo
Chapter 65 Ariel POV Three days on Although it was hard to talk to Mom, but I managed to change her mind about Dad, and I'm glad that they've made up now, although my supposed dad is married to another woman and now has children with him, so I doubt they can get back together. I'm not sure Mom will even be happy about it. I'm supposed to go to his house today to meet his family, but I'm nervous. "Do you want me to go with you?" Max asks me, but I shake my head, giving her an assuring smile that everything will be fine. He has been acting weird since I told him about my dad, but I don't seem to wrap my head around why he has been like that. "Are you ok?" I ask him, and he sighs briefly as he sits on the bed, running his fingers through his hair. "Babe... I need to tell you something, ok?" He utters as he makes me sit on his lap, even though I weigh really heavy now. "What is the problem?" I ask him, and he sighs briefly. "Mr. Daniel... He is Alicia's dad," He finishes saying, a
Chapter 66Writer's POVSitting with the family at the dining and eating with them later seems to be the best moment of Ariel's life, but knowing her mom is missing here, she feels a bit sad. She is still finding it difficult to fit in, especially at the thought of the woman not liking her."Why didn't you come with your husband?" Joann, the eldest of the two kids suddenly asks out of the blue moon as she glances at Ariel."I heard he is really cute. Why didn't you bring him with you?" The second one, Ella asks as she pouts her lips, and Ariel smiles at them, as she glances at her dad, but he turns his gaze away, and she already knows the possible reason. Maybe he already knows that she married Alicia's ex-husband."What is going on here?" Alicia's voice suddenly disrupts the cool atmosphere as she walks into the dining room, but she stops abruptly on her track and pulls a surprised look when she spots Ariel sitting with her family."What is happening here, Dad, Mom?" She asks, trying
Chapter 67 Max paces restlessly in the hospital hallway, his heart beating rapidly against his chest. He rushed down to the hospital after Henry called him that he already took Ariel here. He has been here for the past twenty minutes, and nobody seems to be talking to him about the condition of his wife. Shortly, the door to the theatre opens, and he turns to see one of the nurses come out of there. He quickly scurries to her "Excuse me, how is my wife, please? Is she ok? Why is nobody coming out yet? Are there any complications?" He bombards the nurse with a series of questions as he walks beside her. "I'm sorry, Mr. Maxwell, I can't answer your questions yet. I need to get something for the doctor," And that said, the nurse hurries away, and his heart sinks into his stomach as fear grips him. He gulps down the lump in his throat, praying fervently that nothing happens to her, especially as the realization dawns on him that the pregnancy was just seven months. He watches as the
Chapter 68 Alicia POV I know things can suddenly turn around, crazy things suddenly happen sometimes, but one thing I could never have imagined in my life, was Ariel turning out to be Mr. Daniel's biological daughter. I have been finding it difficult to believe, and to think that they turned against me and fought for her makes me feel so horrible. I know I don't belong here, I have been an imposter hiding under the guise of being an orphan, but I didn't deserve any of the treatment, right? As I drive back to my hotel room where I'm staying, I just feel like running into a truck and ending everything right away. I feel so miserable to the point of thinking of suicide, but on second thought, I feel like it's really not the best thing to do. Not at this point that I'm on the verge of getting what I want. Yes, I'm going to settle down with the man I love, and that is all that matters to me. As I pull over at the side of the road, tired of driving, I reach out for my phone and dial Ale
Chapter 69 At the hospital The surgery was done successfully, and I'm glad to be a father, not just a father, but to a set of twins. Yes! Ariel gave me a set of girl twins, and they are so pretty. Gosh! I have to be the happiest man on earth right now. Although I can't touch the babies yet, since they are incubated, but still, I can't help but be really excited. My biggest happiness is my woman making it out of that operation room alive, because why not? She has been sleeping the whole day after the operation, and the doctor told me not to worry about anything since she was sedated, that it was the reason she was still sleeping, and guess what? I can't wait for her to be awake so I can break the news of our child to her. As I step out of the ward, I stop on my track when I hear Mr. Daniel and Ariel's mom arguing. I haven't talked about this, but it feels crazy that Ariel turned out to be this man's daughter. That plot twist was what I never imagined in my lifetime,
Chapter 70 Mr. Dante paces restlessly in his living room alone. He looks like something is bothering him, and just then, the entrance door opens and a young man walks inside. He is graced in black leather trousers and a shirt that clings to his body, he has a face cap on and a black mask that covers the lower part of his face, making his face invisible. "I'm sorry for coming late, boss," His voice is muffled by the mask as he speaks. "I have a job for you, Viper..." Mr. Dante utters before he turns to face the young man. He brings his phone out of his pocket and scrolls through it before he turns the screen to the young man. "That woman... I want her to be gotten rid of. I will send you every necessary detail you would need about her. I want you to do that tomorrow night, and make sure to leave no trace as usual," Mr. Dante says to the young man, and he nods his head. "I will do that, boss," Viper replies to him, and the corner of his lips slowly twitches into
