Chapter 117: You started it

“I’m sorry CEO Jace, I don’t discuss personal matters during and around the official hour” Arianna snapped at him, glaring into his well chiselled jawline.

Jace chuckled softly and said “I am the Boss here, Arianna. You will answer every question I ask you whether personal matters or official, my love”

Arianna looked away. She needs to punish this man and make him know that he must learn to respect her, as his partner and the mother of his son.

“I am asking you again, are you head bent on leaving me?” Jace repeated. Arianna already moved her things out of the Mansion. Looks like she meant business this time.

“I am not leaving, Jace Hudson. I already left you. I need a breath of fresh air. I feel suffocated enough, being by your side” Arianna replied.

Jace massaged his temple. She’s already left indeed. She’s right. He forced a grin and glared at his woman “Tell me, is there something else besides the incident of last night?

My words to you at the study and the fact that I didn’t let you touch me, caress me and not being romantic towards you. Besides these minor excuses, is there anything I did that made you leave?” He asked.

“There is nothing,”Arianna replied flippantly. She looked away, avoiding his gaze.

“Then you already want to leave me. You’re like a bird that wants to fly and sees someone throw pebbles at it. You’ve been wanting to leave, you’ve only found a convenient reason to fly high away beyond reach” Jace Hudson snorted.

“Whatever. I don’t care what you think. You haven’t forgotten what your ex did to you. You need to walk away from the past and live with me in the present. You need to heal, Jace” Arianna advised.

“You are the one who needs healing. Your wounded heart has a false healing. You haven’t been healed, a part of yourself is still bleeding” Jace seethed.

“You are wrong Jace. You didn’t love me like you claim. You only want to compensate me out of pity. But I won’t remain a fool continually” Arianna debunked Jace’s words.

“Was there any time you acted like a fool? Look, let’s forget about what happened and come back home. You can’t possibly leave Eli and I alone, right?” Jace Hudson coaxed.

“You don’t have to worry about Eli. He is my son and he suckles my breasts. He would definitely understand everything I’ve told him”Arianna declared.

“Oh!”Jace exclaimed before asking “And what did you tell my son, Arianna?”Jace asked. If Arianna dared to say anything to Eli about this whole thing, he would not forgive her.

“I told him I left his father and I’ve moved out”Arianna declared. For a few minutes, the office became quiet. Jace’s countenance had turned cold and he glared at Arianna in displeasure.

“You started it, Arianna. Don’t blame me if that boy got another woman as his mother. I don’t want to talk anymore, leave ” Jace declared.

“I am the only one that has that title of a Mother to Eli. You won’t dare it Jace” Arianna’s voice choked. Her eyes suddenly tearing up.

“I spent years looking for you, I wouldn’t get involved with any woman after Clara’s death because I wanted to find the woman I had a one night stand with.

I found you and many things happened in between until we are together now. But you moved out of My Mansion because of some random flimsy excuses and tell me not to dare what?

I will get another woman and that starts from now. You are out, you left yourself and I can’t leave my son without a mother. I will get him a new mother and the baby he wants. Our discussion is over, get out” Jace stuttered.

Arianna glared at Jace. He has started his silly behaviour again. She stood up but said “Don’t take my son away from me, again” Arianna stammered, she sniffled.

“Return back to the Mansion tonight or never!” Jace concluded.

Senator Adrian Delmark had been very busy towards attaining his political office. Richard is the closest to him and they finally got to arrange for the first campaign.

But that will be coming up a week after the contest that the Incumbent Prime minister had organised to celebrate his Mom.

Richard had been busy, going about the supervision of the campaign materials and hardly created time as before for Genesis.

But then someone always finds her way to where Richard is, and that person is none other than Tessa. She seemed to always know where and when to meet Richard.

That night , Arianna returned back to the Mansion. She loves Jace. She can’t let him be with another woman and she can’t take it if he takes Eli away from her, again.

It was getting dark when Jace called Arianna on her phone. Seeing it was Jace, she answered “Meet me at Suitorial hotel” Jace declared and hung up.

He would at least allow her to say something. He just hung up. She sighed and went inside to change into another dress when the servant walked up to her and said that she’s got a parcel.

When she opened it, it’s from Jace. He wants her to put the dress on and join him at the hotel. He probably was meeting new friends or business associates.

Having that in mind, Arianna took another bath, got dressed. She was mesmerised by the wine-coloured dress that reached her feet.

It’s fitted, her hourglass figure was well outlined in it. The back was woven in a zigzag stitch. The upper part of the dress was having a slit, an opening just at the cleavage and that suits Arianna’s full firm boops.

Arianna glanced at herself in the mirror and was amazed. She looked gorgeous and beautiful. Her flat belly with her curvy hips would make heads turn in her direction.

Quickly she sat down and decided which hair she should wear. She chose to leave her hair loose, well combed backwards. She remembered Jace said he likes it that way.

She applied makeup on. Thank goodness she’s an Artist and a designer professionally. That is the least of the things she can be bothered about.

She was soon done with her dressing and slid a heel on. She glanced at herself in the mirror again, the jewelries that came along with the dress were made of pure diamond. It was giving off sparkles and glitters.

Arianna descended the stairs and came to the sitting room. She was surprised when she stepped out and saw Jace’s personal chauffeur. He sent his chauffeur to pick her as well?
