Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 28

Ariana stared at him without blinking because she eagerly wants to know what the relationship

between Michael and Samantha is.

Michael was still having a mental battle if he should say it or not. He had never really about

because most of it is not his story to tell.

He also wants to make it known that he will choose her in a heartbeat but he also made a promise

to his parents and Samantha’s and it is not even as simple as that for a promise can easily be broken.

Ariana sensed his discomfort. She could tell he was not quite sure if he wanted to disclose any

information which made her wonder how important Samantha is to him. She felt rejected because it

seem as she will lose him before the one year contract is over.

Ariana made a mental check to focus on finding her mother. Therefore, she needs to get herself

together and keep focus. Now is not the time to fall in love or become jealous over something that is

not rightfully hers. They are not from the same world.

Ariana sat on Michael’s leg fidgeting with her fingers while Michael was lost in thought. Ariana

decides to let it go before she ends up breaking her own heart. She held up her head so she can see

eye to eye with Michael. Her deliberate gaze brought him back.

“It is okay. You don’t need to explain.” Ariana said seriously.

Michael knew what she was thinking but he couldn’t explain in details. The Miller family had been

looking for the missing child in secret over the years. They did not want to alarm the enemies. He

sighed, “Ari, it is not that I don’t want to explain to you. It is just complicated and I just want you to know

that I married you. I chose you.”

Ariana still did feel secure by his words. Rich people have a way of getting what they want and if

that woman wants him, she will find a way and despite his words, he doesn’t have a problem with her

being cozy with him.

Michael looked at her taking in her reaction. She had a forced smile, pretending that she is fine

with everything. “Her name is Samantha Miller. We grew up together back in Country C. The Miller

Family and the Matthews were always close. She is a little clingy but she has always been since we

are young.” He calmly told her. When he did not get any response from her, he told her, “What happen

today was actually an accident. She got unbalanced from those tall heels and fell. It was not intentional

and I wouldn’t do that to you honey.”

“What happen today has passed.” She got up and stretched her limbs, “I am going to prepare

dinner. Do you want anything specific?”

“You don’t have to cook. We can go out for dinner or the chef can make us something to eat.” He

got up and hold her small hands taking it to his lips. She felt his breath on her fingers and blushed.

“I don’t want to bother the chef and I don’t want to go out.” She didn’t think going out for dinner was

necessary when they had food that can be prepared. The chef food are done to order as requested by

Michael. Even though he is a Billionaire, he did not want to waste food for he is hardly at home. His

wife caused him to come home these past few weeks.

“Alright, you can cook something light for both of us. I don’t want you getting tired and fall asleep

before our nightly activity.” Michael laughed and let her go before she turns into a furious rabbit.

Ariana escaped out of the room as quickly as possible. Michael can be a beast when he is ready.

She went to the kitchen to prepare the meals.

She did not think what Michael said was a lie but he was holding back the truth. There is definitely

something between them and if that is the case, she don’t stand a chance. The relationship with

Michael and her is contractual and they did not have love between them. She is still clueless of why

Michael really wanted to marry her and helped her find her parents.

She did not have anything to offer him in return. He is the richest man in the city, he can get any

willing woman in the city. She did saved him back then and gave him a place to rest for the night but

that couldn’t be the reason he marry her either. Can he marry everybody that might save his life?

‘Cheer u Ariana, just do your part and find your mother. When the time comes to leave, don’t look

back.’

Ariana smiled and decided not to make herself unhappy and not worry about Michael having Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

another woman but she hopes he will respect her and not make her a laughing stock of the company.

Suddenly she heard a sexy voice from the door, “Why are you smiling?”

“Why can’t I smile?” Ariana turned to look at him still smiling.

Michael walked to her and snaked his hands around her torso, “I am happy you can smile and I

promise to keep you smiling.”

“Are you getting sentimental Mr. President?” she laughed at him and fanned him off.

“I like the way you call me Mr. President. It is getting me hard and I would take you right here.”

Michael whispered in her ear with deep desires. Her was voice is already soft and alluring when she is

serious so just imagine her talking in a coquettish voice.

“Don’t make trouble. The food will be out in five.” Ariana was red from his teasing and she would

be lying if she didn’t get turned on by it.

Michael spanked her and was not ready to stop making trouble with her but then his phone rang

and he went out after kissing her cheeks.

…

“Hey Alex, did you get any information on the previous Mrs. Fearon?” Michael went passed the

dining room and into the living room. He sat down on a single couch lazily with one leg across the

other.

“Boss this case is very tricky. I haven’t found anything solid on it as yet. A picture of her would

have been great.” Alex voice came over the phone.

Michael did not say anything for a while, “Unfortunately she doesn’t have a picture of her mother.

Her father burned them all her photos and all she had of her mother is necklace that will be of no help.”

Michael remembered that rusty necklace of no value that she protects so dearly as if her life depends

on it when they were back at her apartment.

“Sir, I think there is more to Mrs. Fearon leaving Westron City.” Alex had the same thoughts as

Michael.

“Dinner is ready.” Michael heard Ariana coming to him so he did not voice his thoughts. He wanted

to have proof first.

“Alex, let us talk about the details tomorrow.” Then he hang up.

He got up and kiss Ariana, “Okay my wife, let us have dinner. Just let me wash my hands first.”

They had a peaceful dinner. Ariana no longer worried about a next woman for the night but the

worst is yet to come.
