“OhmyGod OhmyGod. Thank goodness it is still here.” Ariana was so happy.
Michael was lost, “Why would anyone want to steal your necklace, it looks out of date and doesn’t worth much.”
Ariana started glaring daggers at as if she wanted to do it literally, “Stop talking if you don’t have anything good to say.”
Michael was bit taken back by her cold tone, “But I told no lies.”
“Shut up! This is the only thing that I have left of my mother. She gave it to me the night before she disappeared. It was given to her by her mother who got it from her mother and the list went on.” She explained slowly as if Michael wouldn’t understand if she said it any slower.
“If it is that important to you, why don’t you were it in honor of your mother?” Michael was trying to verify why they would want to steal an old necklace with that was left by her mother.
Ariana noticed that he still did not get it. “My mother ran away from home to Westron City where he met my Dad, they fell in love and got married which is why I am here now. My mother was a woman of many secrets but she was gentle by heart. She never took me to see her family and I am guessing Dad doesn’t know them either. If I did at least I would have a valid clue to start from there.
She had a good friend here in Westron, I went to visit her several times but she doesn’t know where my mom is and she doesn’t know her family background either. All she knew was, this necklace is the key of finding her.
Gina and my stepmother tried several time to snatch it so I had to take it out of their sight. If I wear it, they might pay someone to steal it. They don’t want me to find her and I don’t know the reason.” Well the main key is actually the pendant itself but she don’t trust Michael to the full extent as yet.
The fact that her mother carries an Heirloom, she might came from a powerful family. Her mother did not love vanity, she is always so simple and rarely goes out yet none of these rich ladies was as eloquent as her. For all she knew, Michael might just have an ulterior motive for being with her. So when she took the necklace from the tube, she hid the pendant before showing the old necklace.
Michael did not think much of it, maybe it is just a stepmother and half-sister taking pleasure in making her miserable.
She took a small suitcase and packed it with few clothes, books and her important documents. She did not have to bring clothes but in a year she will no longer be Mrs. Matthews and she don’t plan on leaving with anything that was bought by him.
“I am ready.” She pulled the suitcase and walked pass Michael.
“Give it to me.” Michael took the suitcase from her.
“I can do it myself.” Michael frowned and looked at the stubborn little rabbit. “You can barely walk, why do you have to go against me?”
Ariana started blushing when she remembered what happen in the morning. She did indeed felt uncomfortable between her legs so she gave it to him and hurried down the stairs.
