"Christmas at the Orphanage I grew up was actually fun. The kids would gather around, and back then, a lot of people would donate so much candy, toys, and food. That was one of the times fhr orphanage was fully stocked. "Milan looks outside the window, watching the snow fall down while Ariel listens to him intently with her cup of chocolate in her hand. "I could remember the rest of the orphans fighting over the toys and gifts that we would receive that period. I always got the best toys because of how quick I was to pick out the good ones. It was back then at the Orphanage where I learnt that family doesn't mean that a person must be related by blood. It's simply people who show love and care for one another. "Milan takes a sip of his now cold chocolate. "The people I grew up with in that orphanage are my true family."Milan turns to look at Ariel and finds that she had been staring at him with a bit of sadness in her green eyes. Milan cleared his throat, joy wanting to make it
Milan smiles at Kristen. "Kristen. How have you been?"Kristen scoffs. "Come over here and give me a hug, you little troublemaker."Milan chuckles and walks over to give Kristen a hug. Kristen looks at Milan, accessing his body. "Just look at you now. You're all grown up. You're a man now!"Ariel smiled as she watched the interaction with Milan and Kristen. She quietly excused herself from the room, leaving the two alone."You still look as beautiful as ever, Kristen."Kristen hits Milan on the arm playfully and lets out a laugh. "You're still as funny as ever. You know what? I'm very upset. "Milan frowns. "Why, what's wrong?"Kristen, let's out a sigh. "I was so worried about you when you left, and you didn't bother to reach out or come see us even once, Milan. I was worried about you and how you were surviving out there since you never got adopted. "Milan sends her a sad smile and grabs her two skinny hands in his hands."I'm very sorry for never coming or even reaching out.
Ariel wasn't interested in any announcement her brother had annes to make. All she wanted to do was get some rest. "I'm a bit tired. Why don't you just go ahead and tell mom and dad. You can tell me later"Ariel starts walking towards the stairs, but her mother stands in front of her and crosses her arms. "You should stay and hear what your brother has to say, Ariel. Don't always be so stubborn. "Ariel let's out a sigh and tales a seat at the lounge alongside her mother and father whilst Troy and Ella stood before them with joined hands. It disgusted Ariel to watch how Ella had a sickening sweet smile on her face. Troy lets out a deep breath and looks at Ella with lovey dovey eyes. "I want to officially announce that Ella and I are now in a relationship"Ariel freezes for a second, not sure if her mind was playing tricks on her or if her brother was simply playing a prank. Mrs Hilton suddenly rushes to hug Troy and Ella with a warm smile on her face. "Congratulations, you two
Ariel gets to work the next day, still pondering on her brother's words. She is a bit surprised to see some workers in the building, and she wonders if their holiday is already over yet. Milan spots Ariel walking into the building and looking around around awe at the workers in her red coverall. Milan walks over to her with a helmet. "You're here early. You should put on a helmet to protect your head. "Milan hands her the helmet which she thankfully takes and put on. Ariel begins working with the rest of the workers and discussing th blueprint plan with Milan, but he notices her strange attitude. Although Ella was present there, she seemed aloof like she was on a different planet, which Milan found strange as it was unlike her not to be grounded. Milan decided to observe her and noticed she would space out for a while and looked less bright. Milan began getting worried and called her to the side. "You seem stressed. Don't you think you should take a break and rest for a whil
Ariel crosses her arms and wants to give her brother a sparky comment but shuts her mouth instantly when she her father Mr. Hilton walking into the building. Ariel and Milan share a shocked expression at Mr. Hilton's presence "Dad?"Mr. Hilton smiles at Ariel and Miman. "I see you all are both busy working very hard here"Milan sends Mr. Hilton a small smile. "Welcome Mr. Hilton. It's an honour to have you here"Mr. Hilton looks around the building "This place is so large and modern with all the technological facilities. It is indeed the best place to work on this project so tell me, did your father also build this as well Milan"Milan slightly shakes his head. "No sir. I built this one myslef"Mr. Hilton couldn't hide the fact that he was impressed by the place as well as by Milan. "Fascinating"Mr. Hilton looks at the sports car in front of him and decided to check it out. "I see this is what you have been working on. It looks like it would turn out to be a wonderful mast
Milan received an invitation party from Mr. Diego, who would be holding a New Year's Eve party for all his business partners. Milan displayed his invite card to the bodyguard at the door, who scrutinised it before opening the two large doors, letting him in. Milan is greeted by loud music and a filled ball of people dressed in gold and black, which was the dress code for the party. Milan adjusted his suit as he looked around the hall. He was dressed in a designer gold and black suit with his gold tie standing out and shimmering. Everyone at the party were all wealthy people with connections with Mr. Diego. It was an honour for him to be hosting an event in their city. Each year, he holds a party in different cities since he has clients all over the world. Milan felt proud to have been invited as well. A few businessmen whom Milan had worked with or had heard about him walked up to him, and they all talked and laughed. They all clink their glasses of champagne cheering and talki
Milan wakes up on a Monday morning feeling sick and weak. He tried to force his body to get up and prepare for work, but he didn't feel okay. Milan hated being sick. It was something that rarely happened to him, and he was too much of a busy person to be wasting a day being sick. He groans in worry as he thinks of the project they still had to finish with the next few days. They were running out of time, and Milan just had to fall sick. Milan is laid in his bed with a pillow on his face when he hears the buzzing of his phone. He groans, picking it up, and seeing it was Ariel calling. "Hello?"He spoke in a weak and frail voice, not having the energy to talk much. "What happened? Are you okay? I'm at the office but your secretary says you haven't arrived yet. "Milan lets out a heavy sigh and struggles to sit up on his bed. "I'm sick, and I don't think I'll be able to come to work today, but I want you to help me get the workers to work hard on the project. We are short on time,
Milan wakes up the next morning feeling a lot better after getting enough sleep and with the help of the drugs Ariel had forced him to take. Milan takes a shower and changes into his casual clothes, deciding it would be best if he gets a little more rest before heading to work on the project. Dressed in shorts and a basic black T-shirt, Milan makes his way downstairs, feeling entranced by the smell of pancakes, which made his hungry stomach grumble. Milan rushes down the stairs to sew Ariel at the dining room, seating the plates of freshly made pancakes on the table. Milan had to scrub his eyes to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. Was Ariel at his house making him breakfast?"Ariel?"Ariel turned around, seeing Milan and sending him a sweet smile. "Good morning. It seems you're feeling better. You even look better this morning. That drugs did its work just like your butler said it would"Milan calmy takes a seat with the pancakes staring at him on the table with blueberries and
