Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 51

  Ariana turned to verify if the voice was directed to her.

  She saw an angry Adam pointing at her along with Gina and Mrs. Richards.

  Gina had an innocent look on her face. Ariana noticed how she tightened her hand on Adam as if she was afraid.

  Mrs. Richards glaring at her with disgust. Well to be fair, she had never liked Ariana. She once told her that she is not good enough of a woman for her son and she is just an outcast without the love of her parents. She didn’t want her to bring bad luck to the Richards’ family.

  Ariana was clueless of the accusation made towards her that she forgot to listen.

  “You slut, don’t you hear my son talking to you? Look at you, you should be happy someone like him even recognized you.” Mrs. Richards walked over to slap her face but the coldness that emanated from Ariana’s glare towards her made her stopped with her hand held high.

  “Let it land if you want to get it back in tenfold.” Ariana no longer has respect for her. She is not her mother-in-law anymore. “The only slut here is you and your precious daughter-in-law.”

  Mrs. Richards turned to his son, “Did you hear her threatening me? This low life piece of trash.”

  “How dare you talk to my mother like that?” Adam hugged Gina tight as if Ariana would hurt her at any moment.

  Ariana was not in the mood for any of them because clearly all of them had gone mad. ‘Where the hell is Michael?’

  People walking by had stopped to entertained themselves with the commotion.

  “Tell me Ariana, how did you do it? How did you get your boss to pretend to be your husband?” Adam bombard her with question which he gave her no time to answer.

  “Are you sleeping with your boss? Let me tell you, I don’t want any used items.” Adam continued with his questions. There was a trace of hurt coating his voice as if he had lost his best toy.

  “What does it have to do with you if I am?” Ariana asked unbothered while playing with her nails.

  That made Adam even angrier. “Of course it has something to do with me. You thought I wouldn’t know about your plan. You wanted to get wedded in the Richards’ family so bad that you set up your sister to get married to Mr. Johnson by force so that I will cancel the engagement with her. You didn’t want it to be obvious so you played hard to get.”

  Ariana laughed so hard at his accusation she had tears. Everybody was looking at her as if she had grown horns.

  “That is the most ridiculous thing I have heard in my life. Listen to yourself and then ask yourself if what you said made sense.” Ariana asked him seriously after she cooled off from her fits of laughter.

  Gina didn’t want to say anything to reveal her lies. Her parents’ method didn’t work yesterday so she decided to take another approach.

  “Keep laughing. I thought you were a good woman but it seems I made the best choice of choosing your sister. I will make you regret this, just wait.” Adam didn’t want to believe at first but based on Ariana’s reaction it should be true. She really changed or maybe this was her all this time and she use to pretend to be boring and innocent.

  Adam was so caught up in anger that he didn’t realized that all his accusations did not make any sense.

  Mrs. Richards noticed that she was alone and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

  She raised her hand to slap her. Ariana was caught off-guard and was expecting it to land until she heard a deep and cold voice, “You better think twice.”

  Mrs. Richards winced and Michael let go of her hand, “I am sorry Mr. Matthews. I did not know she is here with you.”
