Chapter 34
Ariana sat in Emily's car with her head rest on the window. She was deciding what to do. If she should go back to Michael's place or go somewhere else. After all, they do have a contract that says she have to live with throughout the one year contract.
"Babe, do you want to come home with me?" Emily knew her friend is in a dilemma. It was obvious that she enjoyed being with Michael and she doesn't doubt the love he has for her. She saw the way he looked at her in the hospital with pure love and adoration. There must be a misunderstanding somewhere.
Ariana thought about for a while and finally answered, "Take me back to Michael's villa." Ariana did not want to stay with Emily. She still lives with her parents and as much as the Smith Family treats her well, she did not want to intrude their home.
"Are you sure?" Emily was concern about her.
Pursing her lips and not taking her eyes from the outside scenery, Ariana answered bare audible, "Yeah."
"Well maybe that is for the best. I don't want Michael tearing down my home looking for you." Emily joked but Ariana was not in the mood for that.
After what Ariana witnessed in the hospital and how close Michael was with that woman. Ariana doubt that was possible. Why would Michael tear down anybody's home to get to her when he has that beauty?
They already look like a couple and based on the brand clothes she was wearing, it could be said that they are from the same circle. Even though they could have been bought by him. Who knows?
Ariana got home and said her goodbyes to Emily. She went straight to her bedroom and took a quick shower.
When she got out of the bathroom, Michael was not home as yet and even though she do not want to talk to him at this moment, she was still disappointed. He should have been home by now. Ariana removed her phone from her bag and noticed that it needs to be charged. She searched the cloak room for a pajama to put on, take her charger and went to the guestroom.
The moment she went in the guestroom and turned to close the door, she felt a strong arm grabbed her by the waist and pull her back.
She was slammed in a hard chest of eight pack muscles and biceps. She trembled in his arms and closed her eyes from the sensation that sparks within her anytime he touch her but she did not want to reciprocate with him tonight.
"What do you want from me Michael? Are you not satisfied?" Ariana was like a wild rabbit at this moment.
She didn't like to talk much to other people when there is a conflict but she noticed that she was not afraid to contradict Michael. He brought out a different side of her.
Michael did not want to argue with her. He spun her around and left her. Out of reflex, Arianna rapped her legs around his waist.
Ariana raised her eyebrow and looked him with a grim face, "Put me down. It is not my fault she could not satisfy your need."
Michael chuckled and walked back to the master bedroom. Ariana tried to wiggle out of his arm but that that made his eyes darken with lust.
"Keep moving like that and see what happens." Michael scold her. Ariana wanted to ignore his warnings but when she saw the desires she stopped moving and pouted angrily. She started murmuring, "You cheated on me and now you want to take advantage of me."
Michael chuckled and threw her unto the bed. He noticed that she is getting off the bed so he hurriedly take off his jacket and lay on top of her.
"Michael get off me. I don't want to be with an unfaithful man even if our relationship is not real.” Ariana hated him at this moment. She wanted to fight for this relationship but now it seem as if she doesn't stand a chance.
Michael got angry because of her choice of words. Why is she so blind to see how he really felt for her? He lowered his head and slammed his lips to hers to devour her taste. Today was the longest being without her since they got married.
He was kissing her passionately, licking her lips and trying to gain entrance to her mouth but Ariana was stubborn. She would not let him succeed so easily but he bit her lip and forced her to open it. He go entrance and she moaned into his mouth.
Michael felt his lower abdomen tighten so he pulled away. He did not want to lose the purpose of the kiss.
"Michael, what the hell is wrong with you?" Ariana was now angry but she did not know if she should be angrier at him or herself for being defeated so easily.
"Now tell me honey, wasn't that kiss real? Even your body is more honest than you." Michael stared at her meaningfully. He did not like the fact that she treats the marriage as just a piece of paper. Ariana couldn't denied what she felt for him to herself and she knew he cares for her. It is just that he also cares for another woman and probably more than how he cared for her. The one who loves first is the one to get hurt and she did not want to go through that again.
"The kiss was real yes but it will only be for a year and my body only has a naturally reaction, I am not a robot." Ariana spat out stubbornly. Even though her mouth was bruised, his kiss was soft and left a tingling fever. It did not hurt when he kissed her just now.
"Woman, you do know how to irritate me. I know you are acting up because of what happen tonight but I have told you already that Samantha and I grew up together and there is nothing else between us." Michael raised his voice at her. She is making a big deal out of nothing.
"Nothing else, huh?" Ariana was not afraid of going against him. "Since there is nothing between you two, then why do you smell so much like a woman?" Ariana smelled the woman perfume on him the moment he held her but she was trying to ignore it. She needed him to find her mother.
Her eyes was now filled with tears and she refused to let them fall for an unfaithful bastard that sneaked his way into her heart. She really wanted to find the only family she have left but stepping on her pride and dignity is not the way to do it.
