Colin said and she stopped"What?" She mouthed"Move" Colin pushed her away and tied back his robe "You are getting too comfortable with me""And what is wrong with that? Can't I be comfortable with my future husband?" Ariana clenched her fist "What is wrong with me wanting to have a taste of you""You still don't get it?" Colin smirked "I don't like you and I do not wish to get married to you""You are so cruel" Ariana sobbed "Why? Why are you like this to me?""Must I have a reason?""Of course you should, you can't just hate me for no reason. Or...." She paused and looked at Colin with glaring eyes "Is this all because of Marissa ""Leave Marissa out of this!" Colin snapped.For the first time, Ariana seems terrified by his voiceBut that did not stop her from saying her mindEven if it requires Co
77Jenny drove to G $ R hospital, a private hospital in Islighton where one of her friends work as a medical doctor Rather than entering the hospital to go meet her friend, she decided to make a phone call for them to put at a Cafe near the hospitalIt did take a while but her friend ended up coming"I'm late, right?" Anita smiled as she took a sitAnita used to be Jenny's roommate when they were in the universityWhile Jenny studied law, she studied Medicine and surgery.Even though they were roommates, they were not so close enough to chatAnd they never really hang out with each other.They were both bookworms so anytime they were in the hostel together, rather than chat or talk about stuffs together, they would read."It's okay. I just got here too" Jenny also smiled as they ordered their coffee"Why did you suddenly want to see me? It's been month since I got a call from you" Anita started the conversation"I am just too busy, I'm sorry for that" Jenny apologized even though she
78Colin walked out of his father's room in shock, confusion and panicEmerald was going to tell their father a shocking news but instead he was the one who heard a shocking newsOr maybe it wasn't a shocking newsBut it was too soonWhat?Become the president of Slirthon Groups?He has not even gotten enough training and now his father is pushing him to the positionBut also in other parts, he couldn't blame his fatherRight when they were in his room, the doctor told them their father is diabetic and might not be able to continue doing stressful worksAnd of course him being the president of Slirthon Groups is already stressful enough As he was walking downstairs, he heard footsteps following himHe turned his head and saw the doctor and then immediately tossed his head back"Excuse me" the doctor said and moved closer to him hastily, like he had a lot to do"Yy...yeah" Colin grinned shakily"You are Grinard Mashuta, right?" The doctor asked"Yeah.... That is me" Colin gulped, look
79Marissa walked down the street absentmindedly, going no where in particularShe had used the excuse of going to visit Martin to free herself even though it was hardMrs Williams wanted some bodyguards to follow her but she threatened by saying she would kill herself if any bodyguard were to follow herOf course it was just an empty threatShe love her life so much that it is too precious to lose.After getting herself some snacks at a convenience store, she proceeded, without having an exact destinationSuddenly, she stopped in front of a jewelry shopShe sighted a ring which look exactly like her engagement ringSuddenly, Colin face flashed in her faceShe got teary but was not ready to start crying in public so she held it in"Do you miss him that much?" She heard a familiar voice which sounded like Axel'sShe tossed her head and yeah, she was rightIt was Axel"Axel" She mouthed "How long have you been following me?""Since you left home. I was so worried about you, and you did
80"The only son George Slirthon has is Colin?" Catherine blinked in disbelief."What in the world is going on?" Mrs Williams finally found her voice "Why is that Ugly son of a bitch on the news? And as George Slirthon's son?""Colin is handsome though......." Jason scratched the back of his neck and furrowed his brow as If thinking of something "Maybe he is an adopted son" he added"Adopted son? Who in the world adopts a son who is 27 years old" Andrew clicked his tongue "It does not make any sense""This is what I think, maybe George Slirthon has been telling lies about having a son all these while and then he has to adopt Colin to act as the child" Jason folded, looking so seriousAt first, they all thought what he said made sense but then shook it off"Even if he wants to adopt someone, why would it be Colin?" Mrs Williams shook her head "He must really be his son"There was silence as everyone was in deep thought suddenly Catherine lifted her head and looked at Axel and MarissaT
81Marissa was in shock, her jaw dropped as she could not believe Colin yelled at herShe was perplexed by his sudden change of attitude"Colin" She called, almost tearing up "Colin, I came to see you, you can't just push me out like that""I have nothing to say to you" Colin said coldly"But I have something to say" Marissa winced"Alright " Colin nodded and checked his wristwatch "You have 30 seconds""What?" Marissa mouthed in disbeliefIt seems no matter how hard she tries, Colin just wants her out of his roomHe had a cold expression on and he was not looking at herThis was weirdIs he that angry just because she said they should stop seeing each other?"You have 15 seconds more" Colin gaze was fixed on his wristwatch"Are you really getting married to Ariana?" She asked"I guess you saw the news""Everyone saw it, and everyone now know you are Colin Slirthon ""And so what?" Colin furrowed his brow "Did your mom told you to come back to me? Why? So you can win my heart again an
82Colin and Ariana walked downstairs on their way to the new restaurant Ariana had found onlineAs Colin grabbed a car key, Ariana suddenly remembered she left her phone on Colin's bed"What? You left your phone on my bed? How could you be so careless " Colin nagged"I am sorry" Ariana pouted "I will go take it now ""You can't!" Colin blurted out and glanced at Eric who was also preparing to follow them to the restaurantOf course, it was not to seat with them or watch and listen to their conversations while eatingBut to ensure their safety and make sure no one go AstrayEspecially Colin."Colin, didn't you hear what I said? I have to take my phone" Ariana scoffed"You can't""Why?" Ariana asked and suddenly started to smile shyly "Oh, you are worried I will be tired walking up and downstairs, right?""What?

83Axel was outside the Mansion, dialling Marissa's number and kept glancing at the entranceHe was worried about herAfter hearing the news about her disappearance, he immediately concluded she went to Islighton to see ColinBut why is she not back yet?Or did she decide to start living with Colin again?That would probably make no sense since Colin is now engaged to some girlIt kept bothering himEven though Mrs Williams had sent some of her bodyguards to go to Islighton and bring Marissa back, Axel knew, judging by the structure of Slirthon's mansion, it will be a tough mission to bring her backThat is if she was really staying with Colin"Axel, is something troubling you?" Jason and Andrew approached him"No" he replied sharplyOf course he is troubledTheir cousin is missing, how could they be so calm?"Then do you mind going back to your room?" Andrew said "We know you are waiting for Marissa, but I am pretty sure she is fine""I can't go back to my room, is my presence here
