Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 35

“Are you saying that what we have is not real?” Michael wanted to strangle her at this moment but

he would never lay a finger on his beloved woman. He did not want anybody else but her.

Ariana was not thinking straight at this moment, “Is it?”

“I heard Adam Richards is back home. Are you sure you are acting up because of Samantha or it

is just an excuse to get back to him.” Michael blood was boiling at this point.

“I see that you like to talk a lot of nonsense.” Ariana pushed him away and got up. “I am going to

sleep in the guestroom until you can respect me.

“Is it nonsense though?” Ariana did not want to argue with him anymore so she took up her phone

and charger and began to walk.

Michael sat on the bed with his two hands behind him braising him up and spat with disgust, “Isn’t

Adam Richard the reason for your injury?”

Ariana stopped in her track and her face became pale. She turned around and look at him, “What

do you mean by that?” How did he know that she saw Adam earlier even though it was not intentional?

They had nothing to do with each other.

Michael wanted to roll his eyes at her. “What exactly do you not understand? The part where you

met your ex-boyfriend or the part where you were fighting over your ex-boyfriend?”

Why is he twisting what actually happen? And when did he have people following me? These were

the thoughts of Ariana.

Michael gotten even angrier when she did not respond, “So it is true? I can’t even trust you

anymore and yet you are throwing a tantrum about a childhood friend.”

Ariana wanted to cry because of his words and did not want to be outdone by him. She gave him

her last words and walked out of the room, “When have I ever asked you to trust me? We won’t have

anything to do with each other in eleven months and if you wish to make it shorter, I will happily

obliged.”

Michael gnashed his teeth in anger but didn’t say anything else. He watched her walk away. This

was the woman he had being thinking of for two years. He could have really found her then but he had

to deal with his uncle. He couldn’t risk putting her in danger for his selfish needs. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

He thought being with her now would have been simple but unfortunately not. As soon as she

walked back into his life, it turned out that she is the woman he should marry. The one that was

arranged by their parents since he was three years old.

The kidnapping back then is no coincidence. Now thinking about it what happen then until now, he

feels they are linking together including to his attack at the bar two years ago. Why would the

kidnappers only take one of the twin? And the one he should get married to as well.

He still haven’t fully dealt with his uncle as yet. By the time he was ready to retaliate, he ran away

with his wife and son to another country. He decided not to hunt them down because they will come

back.

He kept tabs on them but he needed more evidence for them to draw out their accomplice so he

pretended not to know anything. His uncle was not an idiot though, he figured he might know

something but it was just his assumptions.

His uncle is power hungry and he wanted control over the company. When he didn’t get to inherit

the company, he started to inflict his son to compete with him so his parents could change their mind

on which grandson should inherit the company.

Michael sighed thinking of his dysfunctional family and his wife had to suffer a lot because of them

as well. This was one of the reason why he did not respect the Fearon family, there is a gut feeling

telling him that Ashton knew something.

He knew that Ariana is not his daughter. That is the only explanation of how he treats Ariana

different from how he treats Gina.

Thinking of this, “Did Mrs. Miller ran away or he sent her away?”

Michael decided to think about these things another day. He will deal with them and he will left no

stone unturned. Especially for having his wife to grew up in misery.

He went to take a shower and went to bed. He lay down on his back with his right hand on his

forehead and his phone in his hand browsing through his gallery. He was looking at her pictures and

smiling. He was really in love with and he allowed rage and jealousy to blur his thoughts.

Michael could not fall asleep, he twist and turn and tried everything possible to fall asleep but

Ariana was not in it so he was restless.

Finally he got up and stormed out the master bedroom to the guestroom. He opened the door and

took his time close it, not wanting to wake her up.

Ariana saw his every movement. She couldn’t sleep but when she saw him opening the door she

hurriedly close her eyes.

Michael walked over to the bed and lift the sheets to lay beside her. Ariana was laying on her side

with her back turned to him. Michael was still not satisfied. He held her waist and pulled her to his

chest.

She still pretended to be sleeping. Michael looked down at his little rabbit and chuckled, “I know

you are not sleeping.”

Ariana opened her eyes and pouted, “Since you know, why are you here?”

“I am sorry for what happen tonight, it is all my fault. Can you not ignore me please?” Michael

knew that she was jealous because of Samantha and instead of fixing the problem, he accused her

blindly of cheating. He knew she was not that type of person and he trusted her.

Ariana mouth was opened but she did not know how to respond. Man like Michael don’t know how

to apologize. People normally try to please him all his life.

“Why are you not saying anything?” Michael asked her softly and kissed her putting lips.

“I don’t want to talk to you because you cheat on me and then accuse me of cheating.” There was

no light switched on in the room but the moon was bright through the curtains and they could see the

outline of each other’s face.

At this moment she looked like a cute child throwing a tantrum. Michael smiled at her reaction,

“You are so cute I want to eat you right now.”

She folded her arms and turned away. “So because I am cute you cheated?”
