The Biggest Secret Of Miller Mansion

Ariel woke up late in the evening. 

She smiled to herself on feeling fresh because of the good amount of sleep she got. However, her smile slowly vanished as her eyes fell on the dresses neatly folded and placed on bed.

It must have been Mia who kept it there when she was sleeping.

She sighed as she realized she would need to wear these clothes if she wanted to step outside the room. 

She could just ask Mia to bring her food here for her but …Ariel shook her head. 

She must show her dedication to Vista. Five million was not a small amount. 

She could wear these dresses for five million!

A new determination flashed across Ariel's eyes as she stepped down from the bed, picked up a dress and then walked towards the washroom.

Ariel smirked when she saw Vista sitting in the living room. She was reading a magazine perhaps. 

She looked at herself again as if confirming whether she looked alright and then finally stepped forward. 

On hearing the sound of heels against the floor of the mansion, Vista raised her head and raised her eyebrow when she saw Ariel walking towards herself confidently. 

She nodded her head in satisfaction. 

Ariel who could easily observe all this, wanted to smirk again. She had even prepared a perfect pose for sitting on the sofa. However, she didn't get the chance to show it because soon Vista saw Adrian walking inside the mansion with a bleeding forehead. 

"Adrian!"

Vista shouted so loudly that even Ariel got startled. Then she saw Vista running past her like a storm. 

Ariel frowned when she saw Leon stepping inside the mansion with his head lowered. A basketball was in his hands and he was following Adrian closely. However, on hearing Vista's shout, he seemed to get scared and stepped away from Adrian. 

Vista panicked as she looked at the wound on her son's forehead. 

"How did it happen?! So much blood is coming out. What were you doing Adrian?"

Adrian shook his head on seeing his mother worrying so much. It was a small wound. 

"I am fine."

He tried to comfort her and then explained 

"I was playing basketball with big brother and then…"

"And then he harmed you!"

Vista said interrupting Adrian's words. The next moment, her eyes went cold. 

When she walked past him to Leon, Adrian was not expecting for such a thing to happen. 

He was still standing with his back to Leon when he heard a loud sound. 

Frowning, he turned around and was shocked to see that Vista had slapped Leon. He could see fingerprints on his big brother's cheek so clearly. 

For those few moments, Adrian couldn't believe what he was seeing. Vista however looked unstoppable. 

She raised her hand again to slap Leon but this time her hand was suddenly held by someone. 

Vista looked at the person who dared to stop her and her eyes narrowed slightly when she saw that it was Ariel.

Ariel's eyes were however on Leon who had shrunk himself into a ball against the nearest wall in the span of these few moments as if he was trying to protect himself. 

Then suddenly she remembered the scene she had seen inside Leon's room on her first day inside Miller mansion. 

Did Vista throw that glass that day? Was he scared because of that? 

Her eyes couldn't help but flash with a cold glint of light.

"Leave my hand. He harmed my son again."

When Ariel heard these words, she looked at Vista who looked ready to pounce on Leon again.

"You know his condition. Even if he hit your son, it must have been by mistake. How can you still raise his hand on him!"

Vista's lips quivered. She tried to make Ariel leave her hand but Ariel was holding it tightly. 

"You! How dare you! Who the hell are you to intervene in our family's matters?"

Ariel couldn't help but go silent at this question. Her eyes couldn't help but go towards Leon again who had raised his head a little now and his eyes were also looking at him silently now. 

She herself didn't know why she said the next words.

"I am his wife. I would never stand by side silently if you dared to harm him again like this."

Vista's lips parted a little and she looked at Ariel as if she had grown two heads. She had so much to say but she couldn't because soon her son walked in her sight and her attention was on him now. 

"Mom! How could you slap big brother?"

"Adrian…"

Vista opened and closed her mouth and could only come up with one response. 

"Adrian, he harmed you…"

Adrian shook his head in disbelief. It was for the first time he was seeing his mother behaving like this. Otherwise she had always loved big brother even more than him. 

He was unable to understand what was going on but when his eyes went to Leon, they flashed with pain. 

Instantly he walked to him and then made him stand. 

He inhaled sharply when he saw the signs of fingerprints on Leon's cheek. If it had been someone else, he would have beaten the shit out of that person but this was his mother. 

With anger, Adrian felt disappointed as well. 

He came out of his trance when Leon suddenly stepped away from him. Adrian was scared for a moment. It took him almost whole afternoon to make Leon comfortable with him. 

Was he scared of him now?

"Big Brother, I will take you to your room. No one will raise their hand on you again. I promise."

As he said these words, Adrian looked at his mother with warning filled eyes. 

Vista opened her mouth to say something but Adrian held Leon's hand and was relieved to see that the latter didn't oppose and after that he started walking away. 

No one however noticed how Leon raised his head slightly and looked towards Ariel with confusion filled eyes who was looking at the ground, lost in her own thought.

His eyes seemed to be full of question as if he was asking her silently why she took a stand for him today?

The expression however changed within a second when he sensed Vista's gaze and immediately pretended to be scared. 

Adrian immediately fastened his pace sensing this. He, however, didn't see the coldness flashing through Leon's eyes. 

Everything was going according to his plan.
