chapter 39


    Ariana was so frighten, she wanted to jump off Michael legs instantly. Michael sensed she would


    want to do something like that so he held her waist with a tighter grip pulling her back to his chest.


    “Mom, what is it?” It seems he needs to expedite his investigation.


    Ariana felt her heart fall to the floor when she realized it is his mother along with Samantha.


    Obviously the family will do anything to ensure Michael marries her.


    They walked in and Samantha close the door behind her. She was still limping but not as bad as


    the day before.


    “Michael, this is what you are here doing? Having sexual rtionships with your employees when


    you should be preparing a marriage with the Millers.” Mrs. Matthews felt like she wanted p his own


    son to have sense.


    They signed a contract for heaven sake.


    Michael tried to ignore his mother’s question, “Mom, what are you doing here? Does Dad know


    you are here?”


    Her face went pale for a while.


    “Let me guess, you sneak away with an excuse of hanging out with friends?” Michael knew her


    mother too well but she would note to this City without a purpose.


    Samantha sat down on the couch not saying anything as if it had nothing to do with her.


    Ariana did not say anything either. She just buried her face in Michael’s chest so he can handle the


    situation. Whatever happens next depends on him.


    “I don’t what you talking about.” His mother pouted at his usation. She could behave like a child


    when she cannot have her own way.


    “Then why are you here?” he red at her. He knew Samantha called to makein because


    of what happened in the hospitalst night. Anyone with eyes could tell there was something between


    him and Ariana. “Don’t tell me you miss me because you saw me yesterday.”


    Mrs. Matthews wouldn’t care who his son falls in love with if the rights to thepany wasn’t at

    stake. He had to marry one of the Miller’s daughters. The rightful daughter is not avable so he had


    no other choice but to marry the other.


    “What are you doing with that tramp in your office?” Lovette couldn’t stand how protective his son


    was for the woman in his arms. He never gets mixed up with women before so obviously he was


    interested in her.


    Ariana trembled at the address but she did not want to get into an argument with his husbands


    mother.


    “Mom, be respectful.” Michael did not like anyone to disrespect his wife.


    “Why should I respect a tramp and a gold digger? I can bet you that she is with you for your


    money.” Mrs. Matthews was getting angrier because his son never took anyone’s side over hers


    before.


    “If she wants my money, then I am willing to give everything to her.” Ariana remove her head from


    his chest and look at him with tears. This is the only person that ever stood up for her other than Emily.


    “Are you willing to lose thepany for her? Do you think she will want you then?” What the hell


    has this woman done to my son?


    “I am and even if she doesn’t want me then, I don’t care because she is stuck with me either way.”


    Michael would never let her go.


    Samantha was on the couch watching the scene with a smile on her face. “Samantha, why did you


    call my mother? You know she can’t change my mind, right?”


    Samantha face went nk, “Mi-Michael, it is not like that?”


    Ariana turned to Samantha and realized this is her plot. Taking in Samantha for a moment she was


    shocked. She knew that she was beautiful from the first time she saw her but did not look at her in


    details before. She looked just like her mother.


    The shocked look on her face did not go unnoticed by Michael. He figured the reason. He thought


    she would have noticed from the first time.


    He whispered in her ears, “Baby, go and wait in the car downstairs. I will be there in a second.”


    Ariana nodded, “Okay.” He kissed her in front of everyone. Ariana got up with a red face and


    hurried out of the room.


    As soon as she was out of the office he turned to his mother, “Mom, since when you started


    behaving like a hooligan. This is not you.”


    She exhaled and m herself to the couch next to Samantha. “I know. If your father ever know that


    I am here he will definitely scold me.”


    “You know that won’t happen but I am going to call him.” Michael knew what his mother was most


    worried about.


    He sighed. All this could be resolved easily but he doesn’t want to put Ariana or even Samantha in


    danger.


    He will draw the enemy out of hiding soon.


    He looked between his mother and Samantha. “Samantha, can you wait in the conference room


    for a moment. I want to speak to mom.”


    “No problem.” She got up and turn to Mrs. Matthews, “Auntie, everything will be fine. I trust Michael


    will make the right decision.”


    Samantha was not that bad. Actually she is a good girl that is also being burden by her family with


    this marriage. She wants her parents and grandparents to be happy and it is all up to her.


    She went to the conference room down the hall. On her way she saw Alex looking nervous as


    ever, “Alex, can you get me a cup of coffee please?” “Conference room.”


    “Sure Miss Miller.” Then he ran off.


    The moment she went into the room she saw someone she had never expect to see.


    Her heart started beating faster.


    Her lungs tighten.


    Her throat went dry.


    She could really use that coffee at this moment.


    She was stuck in the same spot but at the same time she wanted to turn around and run.


    The person she is trying to avoid ever since she came back is right in front of her. She knew it


    would have been soon but never thought it would be now.


    “I am sorry, I got lost and entered the wrong room.” She turned to run.


    “Don’t you dare go through that door.”
