Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 25

　　Michael was so shocked that he forgot to push Samantha from his body. “Ariana!”

　　“Mikey who is she?” Samantha asked Michael softly with no intention of getting up.

　　Ariana looked at Michael with questioning eyes. Michael saw the hurt in her eyes and it was quickly replaced by coldness. Even though Samantha slip and fell on him, he knew it did not look good. Why did she have to fall at such bad timing? Michael focus was on Ariana so he did not answer Samantha.

　　Michael hurriedly push Samantha away from him. Samantha didn’t mind and turned to Michael apologetic, “Did I hurt you just now? I don’t know what happen and I fell.”

　　Michael saw that she was indeed wearing a very tall heels in fact and said, “It is okay Sammy, you can go now. I need to have a conversation with Miss Fearon.” Michael did not want to tell Samantha that Ariana is his lawful wedded wife because he was waiting on the right moment to break the news to his parents and hope they will accept her. Not like they had a choice but he hope his wife and parents can get along.

　　Samantha did not want to leave but she did not want to seem disobedient so she went over to the couch to collect her handbag so she could leave, “Mikey, talk to you later.” Then she left.

　　Alex also left the office as quickly as possible. He knew he is big trouble.

　　Ariana masked her emotions. She picked up the files and brought them to Michael’s desk, “Mr. Matthews, I was asked to bring these to your office by Manager Brown.” She put down the files and turned to walk away.

　　Michael grabbed her by her wrist, “Wait!” Michael noticed how distant she had gotten since she came in the office.

　　“Is there anything else sir?” Ariana did not want to stay a second more after what she just saw. They even have a nickname for each other.

　　Michael went around the desk while still holding her wrist. He pulled her into a hug, “Babe is not what you think? Don’t be angry.” he knew she was angry because of what she saw.

　　“I am not angry, I don’t have any right to be.” Ariana felt bitter in her heart. She knew he didn’t love her and she did not know if her feeling reached the stage of love for him as yet but she did feel hurt when she saw him with another woman.

　　“What do you mean by that?” Michael started to panic for their relationship is already fragile.

　　“What we have is just a contractual marriage and nothing more. You are free to flirt with whoever you want.” They only had a deal and no obligation of loyalty.

　　Michael became angry because he did not like her words, “Was the past three weeks a joke to you?” Ariana lowered her head and bit her lip not saying anything. They did enjoy the past few weeks as husband and wife but somehow she felt as if the rest of the year will be a nightmare.

　　Michael held her chin and forced her to look at him. When he saw her tempted plump lips, he bent to kiss her domineeringly as to say ‘you’re mine’.

　　Ariana was not pleased, she did not know if he had kissed that woman so she fight to get out of his arms.

　　“Stay steady else I will do something more to you.” Ariana knew he is serious so stopped move and let him kiss her. As soon as he let her go, she shouted at him angrily, “I don’t care who you hook up with but don’t kiss me with the mouth you used on them.”

　　Michael smirked at her outburst, “Are you jealous?”

　　Ariana face got red by his question, “no!”

　　“I did not do anything, she fell onto me.” Michael tried to explain but he did not want to get too deep into it. “Let us talk about it when we reach, okay honey?”

　　Ariana did not believe him but she still nodded, “Okay.”
