Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 57

It was Wednesday of the following week.

“Hey babe. Pregnancy do look good on you.” Emily teased her bestfriend.

Ariana smiled brightly touching her still flat tummy. “If I knew you were planning on teasing me, I

wouldn’t have come to visit.”

Ariana haven’t seen her bestfriend in a while so she decided to visit her during lunch. Emily is

always so busy, she doesn’t even have time to date anymore. They were currently in Emily’s office

having lunch.

“I was joking, missing you is an understatement at this point.” Emily pouted, “Why did we leave

college? Life was so much easier.”

Ariana laughed at how childish her bestfriend is. “Speak for yourself.”

“I am flabbergasted. You don’t miss having me around since you knew what sex feels like. Look

how much you enjoys it?” She dramatically points at Ariana’s belly.

Ariana’s glared at her and reprimanded angrily, “Can you shut up and eat before I eat it all off!”

Ariana was always shy when it comes to the topic of Michael with others. Her sex life should be private.

“Okay, okay. Let us eat.” Emily retorted and Ariana sighed in relief.

Emily kept quiet for about two minutes tops before she starts again but this a bit worried. “What is

going to happen after the contract is up?”

Ariana put down her utensils and exhaled, “Actually, things are different now. I haven’t mentioned it

before because I didn’t want to talk over the phone.”

Emily stopped eating as well ready to go to war, “How different? Is he treating you bad? Tell me so

I can go and cut him down.”

“Can you calm down for a second?” Ariana didn’t doubt that she would head right over to

Matthews’ Group to create a scene.

“Don’t hide it from me girl.” Emily was ready to defend her friend at any cost. She had been

through enough.

“I found my family.” She waited to get a response from her friend.

Emily face lit up. She was happy for her bestfriend that became a sister to her. “Where is your

mother… wait… did you say parents as in mother and father?” her face turned into a look of confusion.

Ariana nodded. She proceeded to tell her what happen last Friday but omitted the parts about the

upcoming plan. She knew Emily was impulsive and she would never agree to it.

“I can’t believe that the woman we thought was Michael’s mistress is actually your twin sister. But

you guys only have a slight resemblance, how is that?” Emily was having a hard time processing the

information but now she hated the Fearon family more than anything.

“We are fraternal twin, created from separate eggs. Samantha looks more like my mother and they

said that I resembles my father but to be more specific I am the splitting image of his mother.” Ariana

told her.

…

After Ariana got back to the company, Michael promised to bring her on a little trip after work.

They set off at four.

Michael had doubled on security, especially with Ariana around.

He hadn’t heard of any movements from the other party but he knew it is the calm before the storm

and he must protect his wife and child at any cost.

“Where are we going?” Ariana asked lying in his arms sleepily when she realized they were

leaving Westron City.

“Just rest your head on my thighs and sleep. I will wake you once we arrive.” She did not

questioned him any further. In no time, she was fast asleep.

A little over an hour later, they pulled up in front of house. It was not as big as Michael’s villa but it

did look homey.

Ariana was already awake. She was curious of where she was. She looked at her husband with

curious eyes.

Michael pecked her lips and came out of the vehicle, then he extend his hand for her to exit the

vehicle as well.

“We are at my parents’ home. They left Country couple years ago and resides here.” Michael told

her.

Michael was a little afraid to meet his parents. The last time, it didn’t go well with his mother.

“You don’t need to worry. They already know who you are.” Michael rubbed her fingers to calm her.

Michael entered the house, “Mom, I am home.”

His mother was in the kitchen when she heard her son’s voice. She turned off the stove in

excitement, Michael rarely visit unless she threaten him.

“Son, what brought you he…” she stopped when she saw Ariana. She started crying while making

baby steps. Soon she was before Ariana but was reluctant to hug her, she did not know if Ariana would

refuse her especially for how she treated her the last time.

“Can I hug you?” she asked through sobs. Ariana nodded.

“Please forgive me my child. I know my recent behavior does not worth forgiving but I hope one

day you can.” Ariana hormones made her emotional so she started crying too.

Michael felt frustrated seeing the two most important women in his life crying. “Mom, can you stop

crying? You are making my wife cry too and she is already so emotional.”

Mrs. Matthews released her and lead her to the couch in the living room. “I am sorry dear.”

“Don’t be. It is all forgotten.” Ariana told her wiping her face with the face rag that her husband

passed to her. He was so attentive.

“Mom where is dad?” Michael asked not wanting to stay with the crybabies.

“In his study.” She answered without taking her eyes off Ariana. Michael left them.

She smiled at her daughter-in-law. “I am just happy you’re alive and well. They worked hard in

separating you two many years ago but look at God working. Even I tried to intervene but even with the This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Family Company on the line, he was hell-bent on choosing you. Life brought you guys together without

the knowledge of your true identity.”

Ariana blushed thinking about her husband. Mrs. Matthew smile, this girl was surely meant for his

son. He was no longer arrogant and cold all the time.
