She picked up a bottle labeled âVitamin Eâ, shook it, and took out the last two white pills.
Next, she added the medicine Tyler had given her to the bottle.
Tyler was taken aback.
No wonder Theodore was unaware of Arianaâs pregnancy.
She had an arsenal of tricks to maintain her secret.
He wasnât sure if he should pity Theodore or revel in his obliviousness.
After repacking her bag, Ariana patted it and said to Tyler, âLetâs head back to the hotel.
â
On the return journey, Tyler assisted Ariana with her bag.
He sat on the opposite side of the back seat, appearing glum and displeased, a departure from his usual demeanor.
Ariana had been discreetly watching him the whole time.
She assumed his discontent stemmed from the film shoot, so she consoled him, âDonât let the directorâs comments get to you.
Heâs aligned with Cole, and theyâll undoubtedly try to make things difficult for you.

âIâm aware.

âIâm not dwelling on them.

Iâm starving.

Unbeknownst to her, as soon as she lowered her gaze, the cheerfulness in Tylerâs eyes faded into desolation.

Perhaps this was the remorse of unrequited love.
He sighed quietly and stared out the window, disheartened.
Upon returning to the hotel, the last glimmers of daylight vanished, and night descended.
Tyler escorted Ariana to her room before rushing off to film the upcoming scene.
âIâve ordered a nutritious meal for you.
Itâll be delivered shortly,â he informed her.
Ariana shook her head.
âIâm not hungry.
Can you take it to the shooting site and eat it yourself? You mentioned being hungry.
â
âYou need to eat something, not just for you, but for the baby as well.
â
As Tyler was persuading her, the door abruptly swung open from the inside.
Theodoreâs impassive, handsome face emerged before the pair.
Ariana questioned in astonishment, âWhy are you in my room?â
Theodore countered, âWhat baby?â ©
