“Why are you looking so upset?” Samantha asked Ariana curiously.
Ariana stretched her arms and yawn, “I want food.”
Samantha laughed at her, “You just woke and the only thing you can think of is food?” If she had
known she was this funny she would have friend her instead of being a bitch. Sammy groaned at the
thought.
“Hey, I woke long before you and I already asked the butler to prepare dinner.” Ariana regretted
advising the butler not to prepare any dish earlier before she fell asleep.
They slept the entire afternoon. Currently it is a little past seven and Michael haven’t come home This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
as yet. ‘He must had a late meeting with the Executives.’ Ariana thought.
Few minutes after they heard cars driving up to the villa.
“Why does it seem to be two cars?” Samantha asked and Ariana shrugged.
Ariana was not worried about who it was because the villa was heavy with securities and cameras.
Her eyes lit up and she was on her feet in lightning speed when she heard the voice, “Bunny, I am
home.”
As Michael into view she threw herself into his arms. Michael chuckled, “You miss me this much?”
Ariana blushed and slap his arm playfully, “Why wouldn’t I?” Michael pulled her into a kiss.
Samantha gagged at their intimacy, “Can’t you guys get a room and stop polluting my eyes?”
Michael smirked at her, “Don’t worry, it will be your turn next so you don’t have to feel jealous.”
Both women glared at him but before any of the twin could utter a word they heard Malcolm’s
voice, “Don’t be jealous babe, your man is here.”
Ariana exhaled in relief and Samantha buried her face in a cushion next to her.
Malcolm walked over to her and pulled her into his lap and claimed her lips.
Ariana awe in excitement while Michael glared at her, “What are you so happy about?”
Ariana rolled her eyes at him, “Petty much?”
Michael bend to her lever and whispered in her ear before biting her earlobe lightly, “I am petty but
you were the one exhaling in relief when you heard Malcolm’s voice.” Ariana close her eyes and
gasped at his actions.
Her hormones are really doing a number on her.
“Sir, Madam, dinner is ready and the table is already set.” The butler told them politely.
“Thank you. We will be there now.” Ariana smiled at him.
“It is my job Madam and it is my pleasure to serve you and Mr. Matthews.” He responded with a
slight bow before he turned to leave.
“You guys, stop that in my house. Go somewhere else with.” Michael interrupts his bestfriends’
intimacy.
Soon they were seated around the dining table having their meal. The couples keep sharing food
for each other and the environment was harmonious.
Ariana was happy there was no doubt about. She have a caring husband that loves her and they
are about to start a family. The only other persons that knows about the pregnancy so far was the
butler and Emily. She and her husband agreed on waiting until she is in the second trimester to
announce the pregnancy.
After dinner Michael took his wife to their room.
They both took a shower and got dress in pajamas. Ariana did her skincare regimen while Michael
sat on the couch across their king size bed staring at his beautiful wife. The love of his life.
Ariana made an attempt to sit next to him but he pulled her to sit on his legs instead.
Ariana giggled, “Why does it seems like you have something important to tell?”
Michael body stiffened under hers. He sighed and kissed her lips without saying anything.
Ariana shivered, “Oh my God, you do and it is not good since you are having a hard time to say it.”
“Baby, I have a lot to say but I don’t want you to be upset or let your emotions take over. We have
a baby and it needs your strength to stay healthy.” Michael stated to her while resting his back to
deeper in the couch and pulling her towards his chest as if holding a child.
Ariana gulped and nervously staring at him, “Is this about my mother?”
“Yes but it is way deeper than what you think.” He told her.
Ariana nodded.
Michael continued, “Samantha is not the girl I was arranged to get married to.”
Ariana heart skipped a beat. What is he trying to say? What does this have to do with my mother?
“I am actually contracted to get married to her twin sister.” Michael knew it was time for her to learn
the truth.
“Wait, Sammy has a twin sister?” Ariana said with wide eyes.
“Yes, but she was kidnapped when she was just couple months old and the family haven’t seen
her ever since.” Michael expression turned into sadness.
Ariana felt a little jealous but the remorse and she felt about someone losing a child that is not
even a year old hurt more.
“I am sorry, I did not know.” Ariana said with tear filled eyes. Her hormones were at work.
“Baby don’t cry.” Michael wiped her tears. “The family had done everything they can to find her. In
fact they are still searching for her but they cannot do it publicly. They still don’t know all the persons
behind the kidnapping as yet.”
Ariana subconsciously rubbed her abdomen that haven’t even starts to show as yet. She did not
know how she could live with herself if it was her child.
“Why would someone even do that?” Ariana asked sobbing.
Michael run his fingers through his hair pushing it back and sighed for a moment, “My grandfather
has two sons with my father being the eldest. You know the heir is usually the first born?
When my grandfather passed the company to my father, my uncle was not too happy about it. He
did some things behind my father’s back in secret that literally put the company in bankruptcy.
He was hoping that my grandfather would have been disappointed with my father and give him the
company instead. Things did not work out as he planned. The Miller family and our family are close for
generations and they decided to step in.
They assist my family the company to get back on foot but with my father still running it. I was
almost three years old at that time, my uncle’s son was a year older. My uncle accepted defeat but not
without trying to persuade my grandfather to have his son be the next heir since he is the eldest
grandson.
My grandfather refused. He did not trust his second son not to corrupt his son into running down
the business in the future.
The old man of the Miller’s Family decided to make a contract on the next heir in exchange of his
assistance. His grandson wife was pregnant at the time with twin daughters. He made the contract that
I would have to marry his eldest grand-daughter and if I refuse then the heir will be transferred to my
cousin Christopher Matthews.” Michael stared intently at her open mouth reaction with her face
covered in tears. His bunny was so emotional.
Ariana wiped her tears with the back of her hand, “Why are you telling me this?” Does he plan to
divorce me? Then what about our baby?
