Already?

He will be gone for three days, she asked the Butler again. yes mam the Butler said grinning, Ariana saw his reaction so she asked "why are you smiling". I'm sorry mam but I think you are missing young sir already. huh why would you say that, she asked him. of course I'm not, I was just curious to know that's all, you may return now she said blabbing trying to cover up the real truth.

Am I missing him but I just met him today, yes he is now my husband so what she tried reassuring herself as she walked down to Alex room without realizing it.

When she woke up out of her daze due to the unique scent, she immediately knew she was in the wrong room, what am I doing here; she said muttering no.

she went to the bathroom, removed her clothes and relaxed in the hot tub soaking herself, then she heard a knock on the door, who's there,

it's Abi, the maid said. She remembered the maid that was the same as her, also sweet and pretty.

yes Abi, I'm taking a shower right now, do you need something, I will be there shortly, she shouted from the bathroom so she could hear her. ok Mam, Abi said sweetly!

In less than ten minutes, Ariana appeared in front of her, all looking refreshed as though she had a long day, yes it was really a hectic day for her.

Yes Abi, do you need something she asked her, No mam, just wanted to inform you that your dinner is ready mam, it's downstairs or will you rather have it here mam, she said bowing her head.

Ariana noticed the behavior from her and said you don't need to be that around me, I assure you and you can call me Ariana from now on? then she held her shoulder.

Ariana saw that she was still hesitant to call her that so she coaxed her and told her not to worry, "when we are alone, you can call me Ariana okay as she removed her hand from her shoulder after she saw she was a bit relaxed now.

Then Ariana answered the question that brought Abi here in the first place. I think I will eat with you for today besides it's a bit boring if I eat all by myself tonight. please she said with her puppy dog eyes, Abi tried to refuse but she couldn't put herself to. it was a rule in the house that the masters are not allowed to dine with thier servants, she was calling a punishment for herself if she was about to say no when.....

I usually dine with my nanny at home,Ari said facing backwards but since she isn't here then, she tried to pull the victim card here so she sulked so it could be more convincing.

Abi finally answered her and agreed with her,

fine but I think we should here so no one will be suspicious of what we are up to okay, then she winked.

Ari was finally happy again, now she won't be eating alone, she had felt that way her entire life, her parents never sat with her to eat they always avoid her by constantly repeating that they had business meetings and all, the only person she eats with is her nanny.

She often called her, mother because she always behaved like one to her.

Ever her "real mother" never showed her the care and affection as her nanny had showed her.

she never even missed her real mother because her nanny was always there for her.

Abi was back with their food, which finally broke her out of her thoughts, ooh stake my favorites, she just just loved the scent of it, it was so good.

let's eat, Abi said then they say on a little dinning table it was a small one since it was inside a room.

They enjoyed the stake and talked for a couple hours before they realized it was already midnight.

Umm mam I mean Ari, it's already past our bedtime, I'm mean we the maids are supposed sleep at a certain time so we won't wake up lazy or have excuses not to do our chores, the both of them chuckled.

Yes you are right, I should be sleeping too but I enjoyed this small get together, promise we will have it sometime, Ariana asked her nicely.

sure why not, as long as I don't get caught, I'm fine, they both laughed.

somewhere in another city.....

There was Alex with his friends, Man this day was something else, Kyle started the conversation, I mean this week is the craziest week yet facing Ale. I mean you lost your dad and got married on the same day.

Alex just pretended as if he didn't hear him and continued pressing his phone.

Kyle wished he had this kind of sort of peace of mind Alex had.

He literally handles situation very well that's why his late father handed the business to him even before he died. He knew he would be able to handle the business well enough.

I thought you cared for Ivie, Kyle started talking at least to get a reaction from him...

I mean she's the only one that you allow to come next to you, besides your father was formed of her so why didn't he suggest you get married to her hmm...

Alex knew he was going to ask him that so he didn't shake nor falter.

I think it has to do with Ariana....Josh suggested because I know he wouldn't allow Alex marry just anyone, there has to be reason, which only I think Alex can provide.

Alex too wanted to know why his father asked him to marry this lady, he knew she belonged to his mother's clan.

why did his mother want him to marry her own kind, that was what was bothering him.

Alex ignored the question and walked out of the room, he didn't want to add to his plate as it is already.

only a day was left before they left this city, so he had to fulfill all rites on him before they go back.

Back in Mr black mansion.....

Ariana was in the kitchen helping the maid with some dishes even though they begged her not to but she still did anyways.

She felt the room was a little bit quiet and she was alone in the room so she decided to go out and have some fun, Ari started to look for Abi, the young maid she bonded. She was the same age as her so it made things pretty easy to form a bond with.

she later found her in the kitchen cleaning the dishes so she intended to help out, it was also good for her because she also wanted to perform her wife duties.

this was a better way to start anyways, she had to prove to Alex that she can be a good wife. she rolled her sleeve and started cleaning, while abi wash the dishes, she helps her to arrange her it.

I would like to cook today, Ariana told abi avoiding eye contacts with her, but why.. she asked back

well since Alex and his friends are coming back today, I want to serve them myself.

There is no need for that Ari, we will make the food then you serve the food.

No she answered back, authoritative this time.

I will cook the food myself ok, you don't need to worry, I learnt from the best Abi....she said proudly, Aunt Amelia always cooks the food in our house and I was always there with her so she teaches me how to cook.

I even cooked for my paren.....

she couldn't complete her statement, there was already tears in her eyes.

Abi saw the pain in her eyes and decided to calm her down, why what happened, she knew she was brought into this house by Mr black but did her parents agree to it.

I thought I had parents but I didn't know they were using me for selfish motive, she said with disgust in her eyes.

Abi.... Abi, do you those people aren't even my parents, I felt like I was distant to them but I didn't know why I felt that way after all they were my parents,I came up with the excuses that maybe because they always go for business trips all the time that I didn't have time to bond with them.i always told myself that, but u didn't know I was actually deceiving myself. she said with tears flowing down her eyes.

Abi knew it would be painful longing for someone to care for you.

I'm glad, I found someone like Mr black, I don't know whether I will call it destiny bit I'm glad I came along with them even if I didn't have a choice she chuckled.

well I'm glad all that is behind me now, let me wear my apron so we could start.
