THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE Sam and Ariana
Sam just got back from Istanbul and was rushing down to Ethan’s to tell him about the change of heart of Cooper Daniel and all of Helen’s family, he had for a moment forgotten that he had bumped into Ariana some days back. And now seeing her right in front of him inside Ethan’s bedroom was surprising and not surprising at the same time. It was surprising because he hadn’t been thinking about her, and it was not surprising because he had a hunch, a big one that Ariana was Ethan’s daughter. “I should be asking you that question, not you asking me,” Ariana fired back, stunned at the sight of the man who bumped into her at the mall in front of her father’s room. “Ask your dad, who I am,” Sam walked past her into the room. He waved at Clinton who nodded in acknowledgment.Ethan’s hand was placed on his forehead, as he watched Sam walk towards him and Ariana coming hastily behind him with an angry look on her face. Today would really be one hell of a day, he thought. If Ariana had cal

“What are you talking about mum, we’re having dinner tonight; and I assume you’ve met the new guy in our family,” Ariana looked at her mother confusedly, pointing at Sam. “He’s not part of our family, Ariana and there’s no dinner tonight,” Elena replied, grinding her teeth. It was just two days to the ultimatum she gave and Ethan hadn’t done anything yet, just like she thought; Ethan wasn’t going to do it and it was really pissing her off. “Don’t do this Ariana, let the kids get along,” Ethan rose from the bed, trying to compel Elena. From her expression, he could see she was now more angry than she had been some days ago. “Yes mum, we’ve a lot to talk about tonight,” Ariana added to her father’s query, staring at her mother with pleading eyes. She didn’t know why Elena was angry, and doing this all of a sudden; Elena knew Sam, something was definitely going on that she knew nothing about. “You can stay, then. But I’m not going to sit with this set of people and eat dinner,” El

Ethan sighed, he had a frustrated expression on his face, even his daughter who was closer to him than any member of his family couldn’t understand his plight. Although, he didn’t expect her to get it in just one sitting. It was a little bit hard to accept, he knows that personally. But the fact that he couldn’t convince her made him frustrated. “They’re never going to accept it, will they?” Sam was the one who spoke first after Ariana had stormed out of the room. He was getting tired of all these even though he expected it, but it wasn’t bothering him so much anymore. Ethan looked at him with tired eyes, and then sighed again as he shifted his gaze to Clinton who was still standing by the door. “I will figure everything out soon enough, Sam; you’ve nothing to worry about, I expected all of these,” Ethan assured him, even without being sure what he wanted to do next. Sam could sense the uncertainty in his words, he had hurried to Ethan’s mansion to tell him about Cooper, and ho

Elena glanced around the bar once again, and she finally brought her gaze to Ariana. “Keep it low, your father’s a popular man, and so am I.” She whispered, worry written all over her face. She wondered how Ariana would digest this news, knowing that she loved her dad so much; it was the more reason she was this shocked.Ariana covered her mouth with her hands, stealing glances around the bar to see if anyone was watching. She couldn’t believe her ears, her mother was planning on filing a divorce and she wasn’t even aware. “What do you mean file a divorce mum, it hasn’t gotten to that,” Ariana's tone was almost like a whisper, and she could feel her heartbeat starting to rise slowly past its normal level. “I’m doing this for you and your brother, Ariana. It’s the only threat I can give to Ethan,” Elena maintains eye contact with Ariana, convincing her, would be one hell of a job. “No you’re not mum, you’re trying to divide the family, it hasn’t gotten to that,” “Where do you sta
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Awkward News and Moments
“I’m pregnant!” Amelia broke the news immediately without any hesitation, putting up a face of worry and disgust. Her heartbeat was abnormal and she was unable to control it. Derek's eyes popped wide open, a grin slowly curling up the side of his lips. “That’s great news, why the hell are you looking that way?” He smiled, leaning closer to Amelia. Derek didn’t even think about this aspect, he was only worried about what illness Amelia must have developed, but it was a baby and he was so glad. They had only had sex a number of times since they just started dating officially some weeks ago, and it was obvious because they never for once used protection. “Because I’m not really sure who owns the child,” Amelia nibbled on her bottom lip, staring at Derek to see his reaction. Her fear was that the child may be Sam’s. She didn’t really know, the issues and problems in her life this past weeks had made her lose concentration on her personal well being. She was always thinking of Sam
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE An Offer or a Lifetime
Emily felt that sharp pain in her chest; what was this question suddenly? In the office area. Emily was a kind that valued her reputation so much which was the one of the reasons she was finding it very difficult to free herself with Sam. Her eyes were filled with surprise, and her heart was doing justice to the words that left Sam’s lips. She was speechless and glued to her chair. “Breathe, Emily, Breathe. It’s just a question,” Sam tried to encourage her, he could see all of it.The pressure Emily was feeling was shown clearly on her face, Sam knew she was in a difficult situation but he really needed to know what the answer was, it was the one reason he didn’t kiss her that night. He wanted something serious with Emily, not just a one night stand or an infatuated relationship. Emily did as Sam said, and she took a deep breath and it calmed her down a little bit, but still she didn’t have the answer to his question. “I can’t….answer that right now, Sam.” Saying his name now th
THE POOR ORPHAN WHO BECAME A BILLIONAIRE The Secrets you have to keep, and the one you have to share.
The two of them stood in that position for a few seconds but it seemed like minutes in Emily’s eyes as she gazed at Sam’s raging ones; and his frustration slowly subsided. Her pleading eyes and expression had saved the moment, she had no idea what Sam would have done if she allowed him to do what he actually wanted to do. Sam sighed, and closed his eyes for a few seconds; something he usually does when he is frustrated or angry. He loved Emily and he was glad that she stopped him from escalating his anger. “Okay, Emily. I’ll give it a week. I’m sure you know this is not coercion, it’s totally your choice to choose whether you want to be with me or not,” “I’m sorry for almost getting angry, I just….” Sam’s voice faded off, staring at Emily’s eyes. He swallowed the lump in his throat and noticed that his heart rate had risen beyond normal. He regretted what he just did and hated himself for it. He wasn’t going to force a woman to love him or be with him; it was beyond his pride an

“Don’t do this, Ariana. We both know this is beyond my power, if there wasn’t a rule I wouldn’t hesitate to give your brother the company,” Ethan pleaded, also rising from the bed. His heart ached, that would be the height of it, even though he didn’t have much time to live; he still wanted to see his children until the day of his death. It would be really heartbreaking if he had to die alone. What had Elena told Ariana that was making her think this way? Ethan thought. “I’ve made up my mind dad; just as you’ve made up your mind not to take back the company from Sam, if you reconsider; I too will do the same,” Ariana blurted out, in front of her father and turned to leave. But Ethan grabbed her by the arm. “What has come over you, Ary. It’s me, your father!” Ethan called, pulling her close to himself. Ariana struggled free. “I should also be asking what happened to you dad, you know longer love me as much as you do, this new son of yours is now your priority. If you wish to k

An unusual End
Ariana stood outside the hospital, ever since she called Derek, she hadn’t gone back inside. She wanted to be the first one o recieve him, she had to try and stop Derek from doing any harm to Sam, she knew he was going to blame him for everything that happened to both Elena and Ethan. Even though a part of it was his fault too. An ambulance arrived the hospital, but it sound didn’t jolt Ariana from her thoughts, she kept on going forward and backwards on the open area in front of the big hospital. “Stay with us, sir…stay with us.” The words were loud and demanding and it got Ariana to stare at the person who was saying it. Just as she looked behind her shoulders, her eyes fell on the man who was lying on the moving stretcher, it was Derek! Ariana didn’t know when she started running towards the stretcher, tears streaming down her eyes at will. What the hell happened? What’s going on in her miserable life? These unanswered questions hit her hard, it was as if her heart would rip o

And there was Darkness
Immediately Ariana reported the news to Derek, she heard a beeping sound that indicated that the receiver had hung up. She fell down on her knees outside the hospital and continued crying her eyes out, somewhere deep inside her heart; she prayed that the news hadn’t affected Derek in anyway.***The cell phone dropped from Derek’s hand and landed on the marble floor of his sitting room, the glass of whiskey he was holding in his left also fell off his grip and shattered on the floor, causing Amelia to rush out of the kitchen that was close to the sitting room. His eyes were wide and filled with uttermost despair, he couldn’t describe what he was feeling at the moment, he heard what Ariana said clearly, he had an hunch something was wrong that was why he picked up the call immediately. Ever since he joined his mother to get the inheritance off Sam, Ariana hadn’t called him in awhile. Amelia hurried out of the kitchen, rushing into the room; she had a shocking expression on her face

The Share of Guilt
Sam felt a double blow to his heart, in the midst of all these tribulations, Derek was coming for him. It wasn’t as if he didn’t expect it, he was somehow responsible for thier mother’s death, and Derek who has forever hated him would always believe he was the cause of Elena’s death. “Although I’ve spoken to him about not doing something stupid, but I’m not really sure he’s going to heed to my advise, which is the reason I’m telling you.” Clinton continued, staring at Sam closely. It was now somewhat his responsibility to take care of Sam, now that Ethan was in the brink of death, but he kept praying in his heart for God to give Ethan few more months. “What do you mean Derek is coming for him?” Ariana who had been listening for awhile chipped in, sniffing and staring suprisedly at Clinton. “You and Ethan are the only people who would believe the story about Elena’s death, Derek will not; and I’m sure you know why,” Clinton responded. Sam was still silent and confused as fear stre

Emergency
Sam pulled up from the embrace and stared at his fiancée with so much affection in his blue eyes. Emily’s eyes widened and her smile brightened, she was pregnant for Sam, just when her step sister aborted his child. It seemed the child reincarnated or something. “Are…are you for real?” The surprise and joy was so obvious on her expression, she hadn’t felt this much joy before, despite the fact that she just escaped death narrowly. How situations can change in a split of a second. “The doctor just told me now, the baby’s safe and I’m mostly glad that you’re also,” Sam revealed, he was almost starting to tear up now. “Oh gosh, I’m so so happy… can’t believe this is happening, Sam.” Emily’s voice sounded like she’d burst into tears soon. “It is happening, Em, you’re going to be a mum and I would be a dad, even though we just experienced the most traumatic experience of our lives, this news has brought so much joy, enough to overwhelm our sadness,” Sam narrated, staring at Emily wit

The Pinnacle of Pain
“Talk to me, Ariana, what is it you want to tell me?” Ethan climbed off the bed and rushed towards Ariana, holding her hands. He was surprised at her sudden burst in tears, what could have gone wrong, his heart started to pound abnormally in an instant. “I don’t know how to say this, but, promise me that you wouldn’t be affected by this news,” Ariana cried, even though she had mentioned the first two words, Ethan hadn’t grabbed what she wanted to talk about. He was still totally in the dark. Ethan looked at her confusedly, she was making him more scared and his heartbeat continued to move up drastically. He couldn’t promise such a thing, because he had no idea what she wanted to reveal to him and with all of this fuss, it was certain that it was something negative. “What’s going on, Ariana? You’re making me anxious already, just spill the beans,” Ethan's patience wouldn’t last long, has he held Ariana's hands, he was staring into her teary eyes and it was breaking his heart. But

Difficult Words
Sam’s mouth fell open, but no words came out. He was totally unaware of that, especially in this kind of situation, who would have thought that Emily was pregnant. “The baby’s fine, even after the drugs and stress she went through, it’s actually a miracle somewhat,” the doctor continued, smiling broadly, oblivious to what was going on in Sam’s head. Sam still remained shocked and mute, Emily was pregnant for him, God was really working miracles, just when Amelia had gone and aborted his child, then came another one. “Mr. Sam…. Mr. Samuel, are you okay?” The doctor was suddenly concerned about Sam's silence and shocked expression. Sam nodded positively without uttering any words, his eyes still popped wide. “Why is it so surprising to hear that your wife’s pregnant, actually I thought you’d tell me you know already,” the doctor was starting to get confused with Sam’s reactions and response to the news he just delivered. “You… oh God, you wouldn’t understand, doc. But I’m so glad

The Beginning of the End
Jonathan who was already scared because of his present predicament, and wasn’t concentrating on the conversation was overwhelmingly shocked by what he just heard Clinton say. Dead? How’s that even possible? He thought, Jonathan couldn’t believe it, just as he couldn’t believe he’d be going to jail soon. Derek shook his head, staring at Clinton with his eyes wide open and his heart beating so hard like it’d pop out of his chest. It seems what he just heard was a fluke or something, there was no way that was true. “Wha…what…what did you just say?” He stuttered, trying as much as possible to calm his nerves and not believe what he heard earlier. Clinton sighed, this was the real reason why he came to pass the message himself, he was so sure that Derek would take the hit harder than Ariana because Derek loved his mother more than Ethan, it was as if the two children picked one parent each. However, they still loved both thier parents. If it had been Sam giving this report, it’d even

Walls Have Ears.
(Back in Ethan’s Mansion) Ariana went into the guest bathroom to wash up her face, she had cried her eyes out and Ethan would definitely know no matter how hard she tried to hide it. She could reduce the swollen part of her face but the redness in her eye balls wouldn’t be easily removed. She stared at the mirror, looking at her reflection for a few seconds; but all she was seeing was the flashes of her mother’s face. Still, she couldn’t believe that Elena was dead, it was the most difficult reality to accept and it shattered her heart to molecules even though she didn’t have a perfect relationship with her mother. Now, it was evident and obvious that she’d become an orphan very soon, losing both her parents at such a tender age. The fact that none of them was going to hold her hand and lead her through the aisle and bless her marriage when she decided to have one was heartbreaking. Ariana had no idea how she wanted to relay the message to her father without him getting a heart a

If Walls Could Talk
Derek stepped out of the vehicle slowly, gazing at Clinton with so much suspicion; no one except he and Jonathan knew about the location that Elena was, then how the hell did Clinton know about Elena? That was Derek’s first surprise, but that wasn’t all, now that it seemed like something was going on in the location where Elena was, he also had information about that. It was obviously concluded that Elena had been discovered, Derek thought, closing the door to his vehicle carefully. “Let’s go in, Derek. What I’m about to tell you is very important,” Clinton didn’t wait for approval, he started walking towards Derek’s mansion as soon as he finished talking. Derek glanced at Jonathan and then at Clinton again who was already close to the front door of his house. What exactly was going on? Derek was utterly confused and he was being killed with uttermost suspense. “We need to hear him out, Derek. Clinton doesn’t joke around, but you and I know that for Clinton to have information ab
