Chapter 63
Michael smiled with pride as Ariana buried her face in the crook of his neck, "Let me introduce my wife. This is Sienna Miller, the lost daughter of the Miller family. However, she grew up as Ariana Fearon. We have been married for three months but we met two years ago when she saved my life.
"She is willing to take back her birth name Sienna but with the surname Matthews of course."
Michael was extremely happy that he could finally show his beautiful wife to the world. The woman that will beside him for the rest of his life. The woman that will be carrying his children. Most importantly, the woman he will love for the rest of his life.
The room went quiet with his introduction. Did they hear correctly?
Well, the only person in the dark at this moment was old man Miller, Grandpa Matthews and Dave Miller.
There were a mixture of emotions going on with them. They saw the resemblance of Grandma Miller as soon as she stepped in the room and Michael's introduction confirms it all.
They have waited twenty-three years to finally meet her again. She had really grown into a beautiful young lady.
Grandpa Matthew's raised his brow at his grandson with great joy, "You bastard, you hid her for so long. You knew the true identity of your wife all along and you knew your uncle couldn't use the contract against you but you played along."
James face went sour at his father's comment. He wished he could tear them all apart.
Dave was crying his heart out. He just want to hold his daughter in his arms, he will deal with James later. He approach his long lost daughter with reluctant steps not wanting to frighten her, "Sienna?" Michael whispered in her ear when he felt her tears on his neck, "Baby, everything will be alright. Go and meet your birth family."
She obeyed and ran into her father's arm as they both cried. She thought since she didn't grew with them, there will be no affection or maybe it was the pregnancy but she felt a deep rush of sadness and longing for missing her parental guidance throughout her life.
She wished her mom was also here. Ariana missed her mother more than anything in this world.
Everybody was so engrossed with the reunion of Sienna Miller that they forgot about James interrogation.
James was trying to sneak away as Malcolm grabbed him almost giving him a heart attack, "You are going nowhere other than prison."
"Let me go. Is this how you treat your elders?" He scolded him. "You're just a follower of Michael."
"Respect goes where it comes from." Malcolm responded coldly. He never liked this man since he was a child. When Michael moved the company to Westron City, he followed leaving his family company behind to be a Detective but at times he would go to other neighboring cities or country to work. He wanted to do something to help his beloved to find her sister.
Ariana was in plain sight all this time and yet no one found her, not knowing which city or country she resides made it harder too. Probably if she was grown as an adopted daughter, an orphan or even frequent on social media platforms she would have been easier to find.
James was still curious about how Ariana was here when it was clearly she got kidnapped not too long ago. What the hell is going on?
Alex came in shortly with two other officers. They issued an arrest to James for the kidnapping twenty-three years ago and earlier today, the attacking two years ago along with several other obstructions and fraud.
They played the recording of what went down at the warehouse and how the men testified against him.
They carried him away despite his protesting and threats.
"Congratulations cousin." Christopher smiled and touched Michael Shoulder.
"Thanks Chris. I couldn't have done it so fast without your help." Michael said seriously.
"We are family after all. I am just
sorry my father was blinded by his hunger for power." Christopher smiled sadly. If only he had gotten the fatherly love he always wanted. Well he is an adult now and doesn't need it anymore.
He had been working with Michael for a while now. Ever since he found out that his father was trying to murder Michael for the company. He worked alongside him for two years hoping he would change but he gotten even worse.
He wanted to be the heir of the company at first because of what his father was fed him but realization kicked in and he did not want to achieve success through such means. He decided to start his own company that his children can inherit. Michael did help him out a lot in the process and he was grateful that his cousin never hold him accountable for his father's actions.
"Talking about that, I am happy you are here for good. I can hand over your company back to you, I have enough on my plate to keep your company a secret anymore. I will be a father soon." He beamed with happiness.
They were talking in a hushed tone but he said the last sentence so everyone could hear.
The two old men was the first to react at the same time, "I am going to be a great-grandpa!" Grandpa Miller forgot that he was crying causing few people to chuckle.
Dave finally let go of Ariana, "Come and meet your Grandpa."
Everybody was happy for the little reunion. They tried their best not to overwhelm Ariana too much.
The next morning Ariana woke with kisses all over her face.
"Mm mm, let me sleep some more." She whined half awake. Her husband was so annoying.
Michael chuckled and reminded her, "Baby, you know I would let you sleep all day if you wanted to but today we are going to Country C to meet your mother and grandmothers." That got her up instantly. She almost forgot about it. Pregnancy really doing a number on her because she was never this lazy.
"What time is it?" she sucked in a breath and asked while hurrying off the bed.
"Don't worry about the time, we are still early. Slow down before you miss your step." Michael frowned at her actions.
Ariana took a shower and did her other business before she went out. She did not see Michael so she got dress and went downstairs to have breakfast.
The villa was lively this morning with all the additional faces around the table. They all stayed the mansion for the night. Even Malcolm was present. Michael pulled out a chair for her to be seated.
They all talked and laughed despite the rule of being quiet during meals. Having almost everybody at one table does not happen often.
Halfway through the break through the breakfast Samantha announced that Malcolm proposed to her lastnight over dinner.
Everybody was happy for them but not surprised. Out of respect Malcolm had asked her father and grandfather to give him permission to ask for Samantha's hand in marriage. They all left for Country C shortly.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
