ARIANNA MEETS KEN

Damien controlled his emotions and kept Arian on his baby seat. They soon arrived at Arianna's Villa. Damien was surprised, Ken had mentioned that Arianna's family was rich but he knew the worth of this house by looking at it. It was furnished glamourously but was given a moderate exterior that failed to hide the costly glamour.

Damien was busy examining the house that he didn't notice he was falling behind Arianna. Just as he got to the entrance the door shut in his face.

****************

Raymond went to his classes wondering why Arianna left in a hurry. He decided that he would go see her after his classes ended in two hours. He was about to get to his next class ( internally complaining about the crowded campus) when Sage sighted him and walked over to him with a smirk on her face. ' Hey Lover Boy! Where's the Single Mom?' Sage asks. ' Oh, Arianna is so kind. It's her birthday but she's searching heaven and earth to get you a gift.' Raymond replies. ' What gift? Why me?' Sage asks visibly shocked.

' Nothing much, she's searching for where to buy life because babe, you need to get a life.' Raymond says, he pecks Sage's lips and waves at her. He enters the lecture hall leaving the campus students gasping and murmuring.

Sage turned crimson red, not blushing but from anger. She was campus queen, how could anyone kiss her and go away just like that. She walked into the law class and started crying.

' Professor, a student of yours tried to take advantage of me.' Sage says as tears fall down her eyes.

Raymond rolled his eyes, this girl loves creating unnecessary drama.

********

Arianna comes out and holds Damien's hand. Damien froze! When last did anyone hold his hand? ' Come on Uncle, the door has biometric scan. It won't let you in.' Arianna says. Damien couldn't explain the warmth spreading through his heart.

They got inside and Arianna excused herself to keep the sleeping Arian in his room. Damien swerved his eyes around the room. Compared to the exterior, there was no effort made to hide the lavishness of the interior. Her family must be super wealthy.

His eyes fixed on the photo section. Different photos had been hung on that part of the wall. He was looking at them trying to find a clue about the baby's father, Arianna came down.

' Uncle don't stress yourself. Sit down, let me give you the album.' Arianna says as she hands him a big book. ' I will go make you a cup of coffee and some snacks.' Arianna says as she leaves.

' Who are you? What are you doing here? How did you get in?' Butler Tom asks. Damien made his voice sound as elderly as possible.

' I was out waiting for my son, when Arianna brought me here to wait. Who are you?' Damien replies.

' I am Butler Tom. Arianna brought you here? typical Arianna. What is your name name?' Butler Tom asks.

' I am Da.. I am Josh Wilde.' Damien replies.

' That's a nice name. Uncle Josh.' Arianna replies coming with a tray of cookies and 2 cups of coffee.

' You guys have snacks. I have some work to do.' Arianna says as she goes to her room.

' She seems like a sweet girl.' Damien says. He wanted to strike a conversation with Butler Tom so he could find out more about Arianna.

' I haven't met anyone sweeter. She's bold, innocent, wild and naive all at once. She's the baby in our house. I worked as a butler for so many families but it's the first time I am seeing a rich child who treats us servants with respect. It's against my code of conduct as a butler to call my master or his family by their name. But this girl... As for Arian. I see how much joy she has in her eyes when she sees him. But she seems to despise his father.' Butler Tom says. Just then they hear a loud scream, they exchange glances and hurried up the stairs.

**************

' Professor she is saying nonsense.' Raymond says as he walks to the front of the class.

' Am I saying nonsense? Then what about when you ki..mmm.mmm' Sage's words are muffled as Raymond passionately kissed her.

Series of 'awn awn ' went round the hall.

Raymond breaks the kiss and pulls Sage's waist closer to him.

' Excuse me professor, I have to pacify my girlfriend.' Raymond says as he carries her bridal style to the parking lot where he mercilessly drops her on the floor and she falls hard on her butt.

' What's wrong with you? Are you obsessed with me or something? How dare you kiss me?' Sage asks lividly.

' Don't get ahead of yourself. The thing is I have someone special coming today, so I was trying to leave college early and then you came along with your drama. Then I used you, stole a kiss or was it two? and then dumped your sorry butt.' Raymond says.

' You little *ssh*ole! How dare you?' Sage says.

' Now you have to explain yourself to the campus and your fans. Didn't you dislike Arianna and I? How come you are dating Raymond? You should learn that you can never win an argument against a lawyer. If you will excuse me, I need to find my Juliet. By the way, your lips had honey on them and banana? Don't tell me you think honey and banana will make your voice sound sweeter. Adiós Mi amor.' Raymond says as he winks at Sage. He gets into his car and drives off.

Sage wipes her lips in anger.

**************

Butler Tom and Damien gets to Arianna's room and sees her jumping around happily.

' Arianna what's wrong?' Butler Tom asks.

' Wrong? Uncle how can anything be wrong? Dad and mom gifted me two private planes! Well mom and dad gifted one and dad secretly gifted another but you get the drill.' Arianna says happily.

' It's your birthday?' Damien asks.

' Yes Uncle. I turned 18 today.' Arianna replies.

' Happy Birthday and Congratulations.' Damien says. Two private planes? Ken had just one, the other three were under the company's name. But this girl got two on her birthday, then her family was extremely rich. At least he confirmed she wasn't after Ken's wealth.

They heard loud honking outside. Arianna goes to get the door. ' Raymond. Come in.' Arianna says.

Raymond walks in holding a bouquet of roses.

Damien wondered who this one was.

' I'm here to see the love of my life.' Raymond says.

' Awwwn, isn't that sweet?' Arianna replies.

' Move out of the way, where's Riona?' Raymond says.

' Sheesh, don't eat me Romeo. Can't I have some fun at the expense of your time?' Arianna replies.

' Answer me quickly Arianna, I know she came. I saw her social media update.' Raymond says hurriedly.

' Calm down, your Juliet went shopping.' Arianna replies.

' So where's my little man?' Raymond ask.

' He's sleeping. That's right ask about everyone except me ' Arianna says.

' Oh please! Save this drama for your Senior Ken. Now leave me to wait for my Juliet.' Raymond replies as he walked in like he owned the house. His eyes fell on Damon.

' Arianna who's this?' He ask. ' This is Uncle Josh.' Arianna replies. ' Please Arianna, how many uncles do you have? I've met more than 15 of your supposed uncles.' Raymond replies.

' Uncle don't mind this brat. This is Raymond, my friend from college.' Arianna says. Damien struggled to curve his lips and managed to give a crooked smile.

' Uncle give me your number.I will go upstairs now. Call me if you need anything.' Arianna says.

They exchange numbers. Just then, they hear giggles as Ashley and Riona walk in holding shopping bags.

Riona stops smiling the moment she sees Raymond. ' What is he doing here?'

' My Juliet, I waited for eternity to see you beautiful...' Raymond says but Riona cuts in. ' Oh spare me this rubbish.'

Arianna slips away before anyone noticed, she went to her room and locked the door.

She did some research and found out that she had just an hour till the conference was over. She had to sneak out she didn't have time to explain herself now. She wrote a sticky note and pasted it on her door and then locked it back. She did something in her phone and then wore something. She made Arian's food and added a note that it should be warmed up before feeding it to him.

She immediately tied a bunch of clothes and went down the window. She had sneaked out a lot when she was still in middle school. Ken, I am coming for you!

********************

An hour later,

Riona, Raymond, Ashley, Butler Tom were having cookies and juice, telling Damien about Arianna's goofiness, childishness, irresponsibility and huge crush.

' I still don't get why she's fawning over that Ken guy. I mean the dude has totally forgotten my sister. He might even have a girlfriend now.' Ashley says with a frown.

' I doubt that. He was always so cold and aloof in high school. No one could come close to him except Arianna. He was like so archaic, he didn't use a phone throughout highschool. He's the only reason why Arianna learnt to write a letter.' Riona says. ' And where's the birthday girl?' Uncle Tom says.

' That's true. She is never quiet.' Raymond says.

' I will go and check on her.' Riona says.

After a few minutes, Riona goes to the ledge and screams. ' Guys come up here quickly.'

They all abandon their cookies and run up the stairs. ' What's wrong Riona?' Raymond asks.

' I came here and the door was locked, I saw this note on the door. It says, " Finally you thought about me! Get the spare key and open the door, my baby is in the there, the next message is on his feeding bottle" Where's the spare key?' Riona says worriedly,

Damien suddenly had a bad feeling.

Butler Tom hurriedly got the spare key and unlocked the door. Arian was awake and chewing on his toy, he looked at them and faced his toy. Damien looked around for the feeding bottle, he spots it and takes the note taped to it. His fear had been confirmed.

Ashley goes to him and takes the note and reads out loud. ' "Forgive me guys, I found my Senior Ken. I'm going to see him and I know you won't approve but I will come back with the good news. Please feed Arian for me. Your crazy girl, Arianna." I can't believe this girl, I will give her a tight slap when I see her. Let's get the footage and see where she went.' Ashley says and they rush to the surveillance room. They saw Arianna dressed in a blonde wig and thick glasses wearing an official wear. A man in a bike gives her a small bag and she takes the man's bike and the man leaves.

' Who's that man?' Raymond asks. ' That's her Shadow agent. I will ask mine to find her for me.'

Just then they hear the doorbell, they go down and when Riona opens the door and she gasped in shock.

****************

Arianna sped past five red lights till she arrived at the conference venue. It was over and it was just employees left. Her Shadow agent had given her a fake ID to match her disguise as an employee. She successfully got through security and entered the building. Her heart beat increased as she spots him. He was more handsome now and his suit couldn't hide his developed muscles. His facial features had become more defined. Arianna couldn't stop herself, she ran to him and embraced him tightly. She finally found her Senior Ken.

Ken was about to push the stranger away when he smelled that familiar sweet scent. His mind shut down and he froze. ' Ar.. Arianna?' He managed to mutter.

' Yes it's me. I have come to find you.' Arianna replies choking on her happy tears.
