' You guys finally came.' Arianna says.
' We wouldn't miss it for the world Lady Boss.' Thunder replies.
' So what are your identities?' Arianna asks.
' Tyler Dexter, CEO of Dexter Foods.' Thunder replies.
' Dylan Dominic, CEO of Dominic Fashion house.' D.D says.
' Blake Tanner, CEO of Tanner Hotels.' Bullet says.
' Brandon Sawyer, CEO of Saywer IT company.' Brainstorm says.
' I'm so happy you guys are here.' Arianna says.
' We are tired of your face, there must be lots of beauties at this party. Let's go guys. See you Lad.. Arianna.' D.D ( a.k.a Dylan) says.
' Brandon aren't you coming?' Thunder (a.ka Tyler) says.
' You guys go ahead.' Brainstorm (aka Brandon) replies.
' You are gonna miss out.' Bullet ( aka Blake) says.
The three guys join the crowd, Arianna hugged Brandon's arm. He ruffled her hair dotingly. This woman was like a little child he wanted to protect. It was as though she was his daughter.
'Big brother didn't even congratulate me, I'm upset with you. You don't care about me anymore.' Arianna says pouting.
' Not true. Congratulations, Little child is growing.' Brandon replies.
' Don't you want to look around? It has been so long since you left Parkville.' Arianna says.
' Who will stay with you? You might get into trouble. And we have to leave soon, we need to meet some clients.' Brandon says.
' Fine! Then let's look around together. Who knows when next I can convince you to leave Parkville.' Arianna replies.
She felt bad for the Treasure hunters, they spent most of their time in the mountains and hardly came out. She had to find away to secure the mountain and make these guys free.
' Let me introduce you to my friends.' Arianna says as she pulls him.
' Guys this is Brandon Sawyer. Brandon this is Ashley, Riona, Arthur, Mira, Skyler, Raymond and Bella.' Arianna says.
Bella is stunned. The man in front of her dissipated a calm yet unapproachable aura, his dark hair seemed to shine in the light and his green eyes was drawing her in.
' Hello.' Brandon says.
' He's cute. How could you keep such beauty to yourself?' Riona says jokingly.
' *cough cough* Juliet I'm here.' Raymond says.
' Go away.' Riona replies.
' That's right! I have the cutest big brother and I will find the best Sister in law.' Arianna says.
' Arianna it's time to cut the ribbon.' Ashley reminds.
' Common girls! Excuse us.' Arianna says.
She goes up the podium and says.
' Good evening and thank you for coming. It means a lot that you honoured our invitation and cleared your busy schedules to come here tonight. Tonight is the start of something new, the beginning of a lifelong path. Welcome to the opening ceremony of ARADEC INDUSTRY. Life is worth celebrating, and we will help you celebrate life without any hassle.
I would like to thank our sponsors, Let's give it up for Mr and Mrs Oliver. Let's not forget our darling Miss Bella and Mr Arthur. And a big thank you to everyone's favourite celebrity, The Sky Robs!
And I would like to use this medium to introduce the Management of this wonderful establishment. Let's give it up for my sisters, best friends, companions, Miss Riona Smith and Miss Ashley Havana.' Arianna goes on with her speech, they cut the ribbon and Arianna being the company's face had to welcome everyone inside.
Her heart stopped when she sees Sage and Ken walk in.
' Oh my, Single Mother? You are here. I loved your speech. Did the baby's father finally remember you.' Sage says.
' Do you know her?' Ken asks Sage.
' Yes Brother Ken, we attended the same college. Do you know her?' Sage asks.
' No I don't.' Ken replies.
Arianna forced a smile and say, ' Mr Khurana, Miss Thompson welcome.'
After welcoming the guests, she had many people coming to toast her and ask questions.
Fred came up to her,
' Sorry, I'm late.' Fred says.
' Fred, I was about to be upset with you. It's good you are here.' Arianna says smiling.
' I don't dare miss it. A toast to Madam CEO.' Fred says with a charming smile.
They toast and chat till Fred excuses himself.
They took family pictures, friends pictures.
Arian was happily stuffing into his mouth when he was about to take a slice of the chocolate cake, someone grabbed the last slice.
Arian looked up at Ken. Of course it was this man.
' Mister, I'm just an adorable child and chocolate is my favourite flavour. Can I have the last slice?' Arian asks. This was his day to satisfy his sugar tooth because soon the whole family would starve him of all sweets. He could use puppy eyes on Arianna but Ashley, Riona and Mira would ignore him. As for Raymond, Skyler and Arthur, those guys were henpecked men. They would just agree with the ladies.
Now he had to lower his pride for a piece of cake.
' No. Chocolate is also my favourite. Why should I give it to you?' Ken replies.
From the icing style on the cake he knew Arianna had made this. It had been so long since he had cake made by her so why would he give up the last slice.
Arian looked down aggrieved. This man wasn't sympathetic at all. Ken felt amused looking at his expression. He reluctantly cut half the slice and placed it close to Arian's mouth.
Arian immediately ate it. Then he felt strange, his father fed him for the first time.
Ken ate the remaining and he couldn't understand why he was feeling warm all of a sudden.
' Brother Ken!' A shrill voice interrupted the warm atmosphere.
Ken frowned.
' Brother Ken I looked for you everywhere.' Sage says acting coquettishly.
Arian rolled his eyes and walked away while cleaning his ears. That woman was so loud.
Fred watched the party. At this rate his plan wouldn't succeed, he had to do something. This woman with Ken was disrupting his plans.
He made a phone call.
***********
' Bella right?' Brandon asks.
' me.. Uh yes.' Bella replies feeling nervous.
' You look good in colour white.' Brandon says. He liked the way her long dark hair contrasted the white dress, it made her look pure and divine.
' Th..Thank you.' Bella says immediately turning red. Brandon smiled, she looked very cute.
This was the scene Arianna met.
' What's this? Why is the air here so sweet? Too much love in the air, I can't take it.' Arianna says dramatically.
' Olivia! What are you saying?' Bella says blushing.
' Arianna, we are leaving. We have to go.' Brandon says.
' So soon!' Arianna replies.
' Mm. Call me if anything goes wrong.' Brandon says.
Arianna smiles mischievously. ' I don't have your number. Where's my phone? I can't find it. Bella can you lend me your phone?' Arianna says as she snatches Bella's phone.
' Type your number here. So I can call you later.' Arianna says.
Brandon looks at her amused. He knew that Arianna knew his number by heart. She was just playing matchmaker and he didn't mind.
He played along.
' Your number.' Brandon says to Bella.
' Huh?'
' Arianna can't find her phone. If I need her help you can help me pass on a message to her.' Brandon says.
' Oh..Okay.' Bella replies.
Arianna felt like bursting.
What a lame excuse.
' Bye. Bella, I can call you that?' Brandon asks.
' Huh? I mean sure.' Bella says.
' Bye.' Arianna says.
**********
' Miss Sage Thompson! Oh my God, it's really you. I'm a huge fan of your style. I follow all your social media accounts, I just love you unique sense of style. Could you give me some tips?' A woman says to Sage.
Sage blew with pride and she sat with the woman discussing fashion.
Good Riddance! Ken thought.
' Mr Khurana, you haven't toasted Miss Havana yet. That's not a good image for the Khuranas.' A potbellied middle aged man says.
Ken knew he was right. He located Arianna and went to her.
' Waiter. Two glasses of wine please.' Ken says.
he takes the glasses to Arianna.
' Miss Havana, congratulations. A toast to you.' Ken says maintaining a diplomatic attitude
' Thank you Mr Khurana.' Arianna says internally chanting,
He doesn't care neither do you.
He doesn't care neither do you
They drank the wine and Fred smirked in the shadows. Ken's phone rings, he excuses himself and goes out to answer the call.
A few minutes later,
' Madam there's a man outside that wants to see you.' A waitress says.
' Did he give you a name?' Arianna asks struggling to keep her eyes open. Why was she suddenly feeling dizzy? It couldn't be alcohol she had amazing tolerance.
' Yes Madam. Ken Khurana.' The waitress replies.
' Let's go...' Arianna's eyes shut.
The woman Carries her out and sees Ken who is standing.
' Sir, please I need help. She had to much to drink, please can you help me drop her at room 103. I need to get some medicine for her.' The waitress says.
Ken was about to walk away when he sees that familiar face. He nods and takes her to the building.
On the elevator, Ken starts to feel hot and uncomfortable. He tries to keep sane.
*******************
(Slightly mature content ahead!!!)
They reach room 103 and he keeps her on the bed.
His wristwatch get stuck to her button. He tries loosening it and his hand accidentally pressed against the soft mound on her chest. He swallowed and loosened it accidentally ripping a button of her dress. He caught a glimpse of her fair chest and the heat in his body intensified.
Arianna's eyes slowly open..
' So hot. Brandon take me out of here.' She murmured.
Ken's face darkened.
' Not Brandon. Ken.' He says.
' Senior Ken.... D*ckhead! *sshole! Get out. I'm so hot.' She mumbled.
She loosened her buttons and squirmed feeling uncomfortable.
What was this woman doing?
Ken was currently on top her, with his hands at both side of her head. And as she moved she kept rubbing her body against a certain part.
Ken stood up, took off his suit and loosened his tie. He was also feeling very hot. He looked back at Arianna who had taken off all her clothes and was with just a sexy black bra that hugged her mounds and a black panty. She was moaning and moving uncomfortably.
He approached her and held her hand but she shouted, ' Don't touch me Mister! Brandon help me.'
Ken lost all bit of sanity left in his body. He couldn't touch her but she wanted help from that Brandon person.
He tore off her underwear and took of his own clothes. He roughly took her.
*Ow, it hurts... Ah ah mmmmmm.*
About 30 minutes later,
Tears streaked Arianna's face.
Ken felt something warm flood on his lower part. He looked down and saw blood trickle down from Arianna's ***** to his ****.
It was her first time? He suddenly felt guilty and wicked. Even though he was far from satisfied. He lifted her in his arms and took her to the bathtub. He cleaned her and took out the bedsheet. He covered her up with his suit and went to take a cold shower.
Someone had drugged the both of them but who? And why?
It was Arianna's first time but she had a son already, how?
It meant that she didn't get physically involved with any man before.
His mind was in a mess. He sat down on the chair and soon closed his eyes.
**************
Meanwhile,
The party was reaching its end as many guests had already left.
' Where's Arianna?' Ashley says
' She even left her bag here.' Riona says
' I saw her last when Brandon Sawyer was leaving.' Bella says
His mother might have gone for work with the treasure hunters. Arian thought.
' Mom had to accompany uncle to the airport.' Arian says.
' Which Uncle?' Ashley asks.
' The uncle that owns the Park in Parkville.' Arian replies.
' This girl! She didn't even take her bag. ' Riona says.
Mom owes me big time! Arian thought.
*****************
I opened my eyes.
Why do I feel pain down there? I struggle to sit up. My head aches.
' Little Ki.... Arianna are you okay?' I heard Ken's voice.
Then it hit me.
A waitress said Ken wanted to see me, then everything went dark. I remember Ken was on top of me and I told him to leave and then we...
Oh no! My precious first time!
I felt tears build up in my eyes. I was clearly drugged. I only started feeling dizzy after that drink Ken gave me. I can't believe it. This was the guy I loved and trusted. How could he stoop so low?
' It's not what you are thinking. Last night you were drunk and I tried to hel....'
' To help me? Mr Ken Khurana, sleeping with a woman without her consent is called rape not Helping. First you drug me then you offer me help. You are disgusting Ken Khurana! What did I ever see in you.' I spat out angrily.
' Listen littl...'
' Don't! Don't say anything! Well played Mr Khurana. I won't forget this.' I said. I struggled to stand up but my leg felt like jelly. Ken reached out to help me but I pulled away.
' Don't. Don't even presume to touch me.' I picked up my clothes. My underwear was torn and my dress had a few loose buttons. I made my way to the bathroom and lay in the tub. The tears I didn't want to shed fell down my eyes.
************
Arian called Brainstorm.
' Give the phone to my mother. Tell her to come back quickly, Aunt Ashley is mad.' Arian says.
' Lady Boss isn't here.' Brandon replies.
' what? The where's mom.' Arian says panicking.
' Don't alert your family yet. If I don't find her within an hour, tell them.' Brandon says as he hung up.
' Guys! Lady Boss is missing.' Brandon says.
Tyler, Blake and Dylan stand up abruptly.
' We need to find her.'
Brandon's phone rings. It's an unknown number.
*****************
I stepped out of the bathroom wearing the dress. I dialled Brandon's number on the telephone. I can feel Ken's eyes on me but I don't give a ****.
I will definitely punish him for this later.
' Brandon.' I say.
' Arianna, I was so worried about you. Where are you? Are you okay?' Brandon asks all at once.
' I'm at the employee lodge opposite the company. Come to room...' I glanced at Ken.
' 103.' He says.
' room 103. Bring some clothes when you are coming.' I say.
' I will be right there. Stay where you are.' Brandon replies.
