Chapter 56: Strangle me again?
Ethan left the house without having breakfast. Daisy didn’t let him have a good sleep the previous night. She insisted that he fuck her and he in turn wasn’t interested in it.
He just wasn’t interested in it and it affected his emotions. No matter how much she caressed his dick, he couldn’t get an erection and that made Daisy unhappy.
Not willing to face her grievance and complaints, he left the house earlier than usual and didn’t wait to have breakfast. He was restless, it’s been days and he hasn’t been able to see Arianna.
He just wants to see her and be sure she’s fine. But the CEO of the Hudson’s holding positioned men at the ward she was in and they wouldn’t let him in.
Maybe he could go, he might be lucky to be allowed to get in. He just wants to see her. He’s restless and worried about her. Once he’s able to see and talk to her, he would not come to see her again.
As he drove towards the hospital, he made a U-turn and went in the direction of the hospital. He drove, it was early but he might just be lucky.
When he arrived, he went to the ward as usual. A silent prayer was going on in his mind. He wants to be able to see Arianna.
When he arrived at the ward, two bodyguards were there, they’ve always been two of them any time he comes. He asked if he would want to see Miss Jason.
Just then, the door opened and Jace Hudson’s tall figure stepped out. He glanced at the smart cute man by the door and a feeling of jealousy flooded his heart.
Jace stood and his bodyguard whispered into his ears. He glanced at Ethan Rumero who appeared calm and expressionless.
Jace Hudson just stared on, not saying anything. Ethan stretched his hand for a handshake at the same time saying hello to Jace. The latter just stared at his outstretched hand and didn’t take it on time, until Ethan was almost withdrawing.
“I’m Jace Hudson” Jace introduced himself. He kept his gaze fixed on Ethan as he gripped his hand firmly.
“I’m Ethan Rumero, Arianna’s ex,” Ethan replied. Jace Hudson’s eye brow was raised. Oh he is the man that his bodyguard told him was always coming to check on Arianna while he was not in, and good of them that they never let him in. So, he happened to be Arianna’s ex.
Jace let go his hand and put both his hands in his pants pocket and nodded. He told the bodyguards to let him in. Ethan thanked him and stepped in.
“…. who said you could go to Arianna? You would always act before thinking rather than the other way round. Just take a look at yourself, see how wounded your nose is. It makes you look ugly” Ned Jason queried.
He had told Emily to let him handle things in his own ways. He was not the one who sent her and her daughter Elisa into gambling. Now, she wants to impose the aftermath of her actions on Arianna.
If the dead can see and hear what the living does, Susan would definitely curse him. After all she’s done for him, he would still treat her daughter that way. Her soul would curse him in the great beyond.
“Don’t even blame me for my actions. Everything I did, it’s because of our daughter. You know Elisa is the apple of our eyes, we can’t put her through anything that would hurt her.
Besides, Arianna is awake and strong enough to bite my nose so hard. That only means, she would still be able to be present for the wedding. If she’s not feeling better later, her husband would take her to the hospital” Emily bellowed.
She touched her nose and shivered in pain. She’s been touching it for the uptenth time now and it seemed she would need to go to the hospital. It hurts and it’s reddened.
“Arianna is also special to her mom. I pleased you by threatening her. I went against my promise to her Mom just because I want her to marry that rascal as the only option left to settle your debt.
Why did you push your luck further by going to meet her in the hospital? I will let you handle things the way you want, and if you think Arianna would be here tomorrow, I think you will be disappointed” Ned seethed.
“If you won’t do anything, then fine. I will make sure Arianna regrets ever knowing me” Emily declared. She was going past her husband into the house when she paused and announced “Thank goodness she knows you are not her biological father”
“What did you tell her?” Ned asked, walking hurriedly after Emily into the house.
After work hours, Jace returned to the hospital. He was determined to take Arianna home. It’s getting too much and she could get better treatment for her injuries when at home.
He asked that Arianna be discharged. He decided to talk to her before going to see the doctor. When he got into the hospital ward, he saw that her countenance was a little brightened.
“Ethan was here. Who is he to you?” Jace asked. He couldn’t keep cool. He said he was Arianna’s ex. Before they met or after. Besides, he heard Arianna say he was the only man she’s got intimate with.
“I can’t remember asking you who Tayo Dante was when you walked in here in the morning. So I do not owe you an answer” Arianna declared.
Jace looked away. He nodded silently, she doesn’t owe him indeed. So it was Tayo Dante who came in the morning, parading herself as his fiance?All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
“Anyways, I think this place is not proper for you to remain, especially now that a few people are coming to visit you and I don’t appreciate it. I am thinking of telling the doctors to discharge you.
You’ll come home to my Mansion and the doctors will take turns to attend to you until you are fully recovered. You’ll have Eli and I around you. That would help you heal faster” Jace explained.
“I really wish to be discharged as well. But I will not come anywhere around your Mansion. I will be going to my apartment. I have a house I lived in with Eli before you abducted him” Arianna replied.
“That place you called an apartment is too dirty and it’s a ghetto. I won’t be able to accompany you there nor is it convenient to assign doctors to you there” Jace tried persuading her.
“It’s a ghetto but I live there. Eli and I used to live there. I don’t need you to accompany me, okay”Arianna yelled.
“Don’t yell at me, Arianna. I hate it when someone raises their voice at me” Jace snapped at her.
“Then go ahead, strangle me or choke me to death for real this time. That’s your stock in trade” Arianna bellowed.
