chapter 22


    “Dad, how can I be unreasonable when your precious daughter was the one who had done evil


    things.” Ariana tears finally fell.


    “It doesn’t matter what your sister has done, she is the younger sister and as big sister you are


    supposed to forgive her if she does anything wrong.” Ashton did not like Ariana so he did not find what


    he had said wrong.


    Peopleing in and out started to look at the family. An officer approached, “Please this is a


    police station, lower your voices.”


    “I will not lower my voice until I see my daughter.” Ang roared at the officer.


    Alex carried Ariana away, “Let me bring you to the vehicle to wait for the President.” Ariana wiped


    her tears and nodded. When she was walking away her father grabbed her by her arm, “Tell them to let


    Gina go and this is a misunderstanding.”


    “Dad, how can it be a misunderstanding when there are solid evidence.” After all these years of ill-


    treatment, Ariana still cannot believe that her biological father could treat her so unfairly especially


    when it came to her sister.


    “I will make you regret this Ariana.” Ashton cursed at her.


    “Mr. Fearon if you don’t keep quit we will detain you and your family.” The officer was getting


    irritated by this noisy family. Ashton released her and waited on a bench in the station. Ariana went to


    sit in the car while Alex stand guard.

    In the Interrogation Room


    Malcolm brought Johnson in and threw him to a stool. He grunt in pain. He looked two decades


    older over the past two days.


    Gina gasped when she saw Johnson. How could this be? She thought Johnson got to Ariana the

    other day sessfully. She did not mentioned it earlier because she wanted to y innocent.


    “What happen to him? Why is he in here?” Gina asked nervously.


    Michael hissed at her, “We should be asking you?”


    Gina stayed quiet.


    “Johnson’s call contacts showed that you called him right after you called Ariana out for lunch.


    Shortly after you met Ariana she was drugged and taken to a room by you personally. Less than ten


    minutes Johnson showed up to assault her.” Michael was calmed but that is when he is scarier and no


    one knew what he was thinking.


    “I did not know the drink was drugged and when I noticed she was acting weird, I took her to a


    room to cool off. Johnson is her fiancée so I called him to take her to the hospital. I did not know that he


    would take advantage of her.” Gina was only sinking herself further but Michael had other ns for her


    other than giving her the years of imprisonment she deserved for trading his woman for sex.


    “She called me to the room. I was to marry her originally and they persuade me to marry the sister.


    I didn’t even know Ariana before.” Johnson was afraid of Michael and his people and he knew he was


    in the wrong this time but he will not go down alone. “Please let me go. I have told you everything I


    know. Gina and her mother nned everything.”


    “Shut up! No one forced you. You were happy to have fun with her.” Gina realized that she just


    threw herself under the bus and all eyes on her.


    Malcolm chimed in, “Do you know that is a confession Miss Fearon?”


    “I did not do anything.” She whispered. She just wanted her parents. She had never been put in a


    tight spot before.


    “Gina I can have you locked up in a Women Correctional Center for at least ten-fifteen years. That


    is all your youthful years and your Fiancée will marry another woman. What do you think?” Michael


    started to taunt her butter regretted it.


    Even though Gina was scared of Michael, she tried hard not to be outdone. She was stronger than


    Ariana in personality but deep down she has a low self-esteem. “Mr. Matthews, do you think that will be


    wise? Think about it, Adam might not wait on me if I am locked up but who do you think he will want to


    marry if I am not here to distract him?”


    Michael body went stiff but his face remain expressionless so he was a hard one to read. “Do you


    think Adam Richard have what it takes to take my woman?” Michael snorted at her but he was not that


    confident as he sounds.


    “It is not who you are. Do you think Ariana care about your status or money? She is too na?ve to


    think she can survive on her traditional morals. Life is nothing without money but she will choose love


    over money.” Gina smiled sweetly and rest back in her chair. “What position do you hold in her heart?”


    Michael would not show weakness in front of anyone. “Keep talking nonsense. I will not send you


    to prison but not because of what you said. I will offer you something worse than prison.”


    Everybody stared at Michael wanting to know how he will handle the situation. He was known for


    his decisiveness cruelty and business. Gina face lost color and her throat went dry. There were five of


    them in the room. She, Johnson, Mr. Matthews and the two officers. The entire room was now quiet


    waiting on Michael to speak.


    Michael could hear her heartbeat from across the table. She smirked at Gina with a look of disdain


    and said, “You will marry Johnson as you should have from the beginning.”


    Johnson’s eyes lit up at the suggestion. He would not lose with either sister.


    “No way! I already have a weddinging three months from now.” Gina started shaking her head


    non-stop. She did not seduce Adam for no reason. She wanted to get marry into the Richards family


    because she loved him from the first time she saw him with Ariana thenter learnt that he is the heir of


    the Richard Company. They have great influence in this City as well as the Matthews.


    Michael got up and said, “This is final.” Gina break down in tears instantly. She have to dy the


    wedding and have Adam fix it for him. Adam will be back in a month.


    ……..


    Michael came out of the station and light a cigar. What Gina said about Ariana choosing love over


    money really scared him. Was Ariana still in love with her ex-boyfriend? He knew Ariana did not love


    him now but he will work on making her fall in love with him. First he need to get the marriage


    certificate and he had n on getting today instead of waiting until next week.


    He also got some clues on her mother as well. “How long did you n on standing behind me?”


    “Do you have eyes behind you?” Malcolmughed and walked next to him. He took a cigar and


    light it as well.


    “What made you chose Ariana Fearon? I thought you were going to marry Samantha Miller.”


    Malcolm asked curiously.
