Darling, only I can be your man

Michael drove back to Westron City in the night. There was no traffic jam on the road so the journey was much easier.

Samantha was traveling with him. She kept stealing glance at him. He treated her like a sister. She is beautiful with a great figure so she couldn't understand why Michael never see her as a woman.

At dinner, he made it clear that he had no intention of marrying her. His words felt like a thousand arrows piercing her heart at once. "I have no plans of getting married to you do you should start looking for a husband. Furthermore, if I am willing to get married I do have my own choice."

Mrs. Matthews was so angry but he refuses to adhere to his mother's wishes. Now it seems as if the only way to be his choice is to get rid of Ariana Fearon. She must eliminate her as soon as possible. Soon they were in Westron City. "Where are you staying?" Michael asked without taking his eyes off the road. "I am going to drive you home."

"I am staying at the Kings Hotel." She already have a plan.

Soon they got to hotel. She noticed that he was not coming out of the car. She took a deep a breath, "Thank you for carrying me back. I will see you around even if we can't get married in this life." Michael still looked indifferent without a slight of pity for her. He knew she ignite his mother to put pressure on him but he was not the one to have people making decisions for him. Samantha realized his cold aura and decided to come off the car. As she stepped out her ankle twist and she bent her body in pain. Her eyes were full of tear.

Michael was wondering why she hadn't close the car door and turned to look in her direction when he noticed there was something wrong.

"What happened to you?" Samantha held her head low while stooping and smirked.

"I hurt my ankle but I think I can make it." She tried getting up and took two steps but almost fumbled.

Michael frowned and got off the car. "Let me bring you to the hospital."

"No, I am fine. I have some ointments that I can rub on it to relieve the pain and swelling." She was overjoyed. It didn't matter which option he chose.

If he brought her to her hotel room, it is bound to spread like wildfire and if he sent her to the hospital this late at night, people will still misinterpreted their relationship. Michael thought about it and decided that the hospital would be best. It is a public space and it would be easier to explain to his little rabbit at home.

He really missed her. He got word that she went out with friends and he was planning to go to the Prestige Clubhouse to see her and go home together. "Stop talking so much nonsense and get in the car. I don't know why you wear these tall things and cannot walk in it." Michael had no emotions in his voice. Samantha pursed her lip and got in the car.

Soon they got to a nearby private hospital owned by the Matthews' Group. He took her to the Emergency room.

A doctor came to assist. He stepped out to call Ariana.

In Prestige Clubhouse

"Well that is the thing. He did not request anything other than marriage." Ariana responded sullenly.

"Could it be that he really likes you and only use your weakness to get you to agree to his proposal?" Emily haven't met him personally. Had only seen him at business parties but never communicated. Ariana furrowed her eyebrows, "How is that possible? He has a beauty by his side. He will dispose of me shortly."

"Are you listening to yourself? He is wealthiest bachelor in Westron and can get almost any woman he wants. Why would he chose you? Obviously he likes you from he met you two years ago." Emily thought her friend was silly when it comes to relationship.

"It can also be gratitude even though a marriage was not necessary." Even though she said those words aloud, she did not want to part with him. She actually gotten attached to him.

"You are hopeless my friend. Why don't you try to keep him? Let him fall in love with you." Emily sigh and shake her head.

Ariana did want to talk about this anymore. She decided to go freshen up in the bathroom. "I am going to the bathroom. We can head out after."

"I will wait here for you." Emily relaxed in her chair and Ariana left the room.

She took her phone with her with the intention of calling the driver. She did not know if he was still outside.

She was busy fumbling with her phone she di not see the figure coming towards her in a hurry. The person bumped into her and she immediately apologized. "I am sorry." And was about to walk off when someone grabbed her hand.

She looked up angry wondering who could possibly be holding onto her. Such pervert.

Ariana mouth went agape when she saw the tall handsome man in front of her. Her mind went blank. She haven't seen this person for years.

The man smiled at her showing his white teeth. His smile looked gentle and sincere, "Ariana, I did not expect to see you here but I am happy I did."

Ariana did not answer. She did not expect to meet this person.

"Ariana, I miss you. Can we go somewhere to talk?" Ariana got angry and pulled her hand from his grasp but before she could say anything else there were five fingers that land across her face. "Slut, what are you doing seducing my fiancée?" Ariana could barely react. It seem as Gina forgotten that he was her boyfriend first.

"Gina, if you don't want things to end badly like the last time I would advise you to refrain from slandering my name or touching me." Ariana was now calm. She felt nothing for Adam Richards anymore. Gina felt cold sweat on her back instantly. Adam doesn't know that she is already married to an old man and she was afraid Ariana might say something. Regardless, she did not want to lose to Ariana. Ariana turned and head to the bathroom. Adam knew he made his choice back then when he betrayed her. One that he regretted for Gina is so nagging.

He stood there watching her walking away and felt empty inside.

Ariana turned on the tap on washed her face. She noticed that her mouth was broken and her nose was bleeding. Gina really gave her a hard slap. She didn't felt like hitting her back because she could conquer in more ways than one.

Suddenly her phone rang...
