Ariana was so frighten, she wanted to jump off Michael legs instantly. Michael sensed she would want to do something like that so he held her waist with a tighter grip pulling her back to his chest.
“Mom, what is it?” It seems he needs to expedite his investigation.
Ariana felt her heart fall to the floor when she realized it is his mother along with Samantha. Obviously the family will do anything to ensure Michael marries her.
They walked in and Samantha close the door behind her. She was still limping but not as bad as the day before.
“Michael, this is what you are here doing? Having sexual relationships with your employees when you should be preparing a marriage with the Millers.” Mrs. Matthews felt like she wanted slap his own son to have sense.
They signed a contract for heaven sake.
Michael tried to ignore his mother’s question, “Mom, what are you doing here? Does Dad know you are here?”
Her face went pale for a while.
“Let me guess, you sneak away with an excuse of hanging out with friends?” Michael knew her mother too well but she would not come to this City without a purpose.
Samantha sat down on the couch not saying anything as if it had nothing to do with her.
Ariana did not say anything either. She just buried her face in Michael’s chest so he can handle the situation. Whatever happens next depends on him.
“I don’t what you talking about.” His mother pouted at his accusation. She could behave like a child when she cannot have her own way.
“Then why are you here?” he glared at her. He knew Samantha called to make complain because of what happened in the hospital last night. Anyone with eyes could tell there was something between him and Ariana. “Don’t tell me you miss me because you saw me yesterday.”
Mrs. Matthews wouldn’t care who his son falls in love with if the rights to the company wasn’t at stake. He had to marry one of the Miller’s daughters. The rightful daughter is not available so he had no other choice but to marry the other.
“What are you doing with that tramp in your office?” Lovette couldn’t stand how protective his son was for the woman in his arms. He never gets mixed up with women before so obviously he was interested in her.
Ariana trembled at the address but she did not want to get into an argument with his husbands mother.
“Mom, be respectful.” Michael did not like anyone to disrespect his wife.
“Why should I respect a tramp and a gold digger? I can bet you that she is with you for your money.” Mrs. Matthews was getting angrier because his son never took anyone’s side over hers before.
“If she wants my money, then I am willing to give everything to her.” Ariana remove her head from his chest and look at him with tears. This is the only person that ever stood up for her other than Emily.
“Are you willing to lose the company for her? Do you think she will want you then?” What the hell has this woman done to my son?
“I am and even if she doesn’t want me then, I don’t care because she is stuck with me either way.” Michael would never let her go.
Samantha was on the couch watching the scene with a smile on her face. “Samantha, why did you call my mother? You know she can’t change my mind, right?”
Samantha face went blank, “Mi-Michael, it is not like that?”
