chapter 56
Ariana frowned, “How? I hid it so well.”
Michael chuckled at her confused reaction. She is so cute with her baby face.
“Apparently not well enough. Do you really think you could fool me with that rusty thing you shown
me?” Michael sneered. His wife is such an innocent soul.
“Did you go through my things?” Ariana questioned him angrily.
He kissed her pouting lips and apologized, “I am sorry my love. I did know you were hiding
something from me in your apartment that day but I decided to trust and not follow through, however, I
found the pendant when I was checking your skincare products to verify if any of them needs to be
reced.”
Ariana smiled through her tears. She really had the best husband she could ever ask for.
“By the way my lovely wife, you were wrong about that pendant. It was not passed down from your
family but a gift from my grandparents.”
Ariana looked confused, “What does that mean?” Well in fact it wasn’t her mother’s words but her
father’s. Gina wanted the rightful ne that goes with the pendant and when she refused, she
pulled the ne from her neck causing it to break. She only had the pendant because it fell in her

clothes.
She passed by the ajar study room the same day and heard Ang makingint about the
ne that she refuse to give her daughter. She heard her father telling his wife that he will get the
ne, it is probably passed down in the family so she believed just that.
Michael phone rang and he said a few words to Alex and then hang up.
“I have the other have of the pendant. Mine is a crescent moon and your pendant is the shape of a
star.” He raised her off his leg and told her, “I will show you mine soon but for now, go and wash your
face and follow me to the study room.”
She nodded and went to the bathroom obediently.
…
“Alex will be here in a few to start the discussion.” Michael pulled into a hug, “How do you feel
about your new family?”
Ariana rest her head on his muscled chest and whispered, “I don’t know. I honestly don’t know
but… but I do want to try and get to know them. It is not their fault.”
“I understand but just know that I am and will always be here for you no matter the decision you
choose.” He assured her.
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.” Michael ordered with all seriousness.
The moment the door opened and Samantha spotted her sister, she ran to her in full speed to
throw herself at her.
Michael grabbed Ariana fast enough to push her behind him. She is pregnant and he doesn’t want
any mistakes to happen especially in his presence.
Malcolm walked in and sat on the couch. He felt upset by his friend’s action but he didn’t voiced it.
Samantha stopped abruptly and looked Michael with red puffy eyes, “Michael! What is the
meaning of this? I want to hug my sister. I have been waiting all my life to meet my other half.”
Malcolm frowned at thest sentence “I thought I was your other half?”
“Shut up Malcolm, now is not the time.” She scolded him then turned to re at Michael with
bloodshot eyes.
Suddenly she felt herself being pulled into a hug. She heard the soft voice, “It is okay Sammy, and
I am here now.” Sammy wrapped her arms around her and they stayed like that for a while crying on
each other’s shoulder.
The two men were devastating seeing their beloved like this but they had no choice but to allow
them like this.
They pulled away after sometime. They didn’t even knew when Alex came into the room.
They stand in the middle of the room each trying to console the other.
Michael sat in his chair looking at them. He just wanted to pull his wife in his arms and kiss her to
sleep.
He would have giving them the room to themselves but they have other things at bay here.
He nced at the two other men in the room as was astonished at the sight he saw. Michael
looked at them coldly and sneered, “Why are you two big men crying?”
Malcolm immediately coughed and turned his face the other way to wipe his tears.
Alex sniffed. This was too touching for him. His boss was just too cold-hearted to not feel anything
about this atmosphere.
Michael got up and separate the sisters from each other. He red at Malcolm and he immediately
went over to lead Samantha to the couch.
“What is the progress?” Michael turned to Alex once everybody was seated.
“Your uncle is currently trying to make his move. The subordinate that you have spying on him give
word that they will be arriving some time next week.” Alex responded. He is now in a professional
mode.
“What do you think their next move will be?” Malcolm asked.
The twodies sat attentively listening to the men in their work mode.
Michael responded, “You’re the detective.”
Malcolm did not have time to argue with Michael at this moment, “There are two things for sure,
they will either try taking over thepany first or try to harm you or Ariana. Most likely they will try the
weaker target which is Ariana.”
Ariana gulped when she heard that. She looked at Michael with fear evident in her eyes. Obviously
these people will stop at nothing just to run apany.
Michael patted her head, kissed her forehead and whispered to her softly, “You will be okay. I will
protect you at all cost.” She nodded. She trust her husband.
“I don’t want my sister to lose a hair on her head. I have waited too long to meet my sister.”
Samantha blurted out angrily. She felt so bad at how she handled her sister when she just met her. She
even had Michael’s mother disgraced her in front of Michael but one thing was for sure, she never once
hated her despite her actions.
Malcolm turned Samantha to look at him, “Honey, this is the reason you are here. You need to be
protected as well. They will target you too.”
The men kept discussing and nning the inevitable for another three hours.
The Miller Sisters already cried themselves to sleep one after the other.
