When he turned around, Jayden was once again stunned. Is there no end to the surprises today?
"Yago?!" he exclaimed.
Isn't Yago already dead? Arianna cried for him for so long!
"So... who's getting married?" The man repeat himself. He didn't pay attention to Jayden or correct the way he addressed him.
Arianna glanced at the woman behind 'Vier' before she turned to him with a mocking smile. "We are. We're getting married next month. Did you come over to congratulate us?"
'Vier was puzzled by her expression. Also, where did the idea of getting married came from? He stole a glance at Arianna's hands over the table and caught a glimpse of the ring sitting on her ring finger. It was still there; the ring he gave her. So what was she planning to? Knowing Arianna, he was sure there was a catch.
"It's really surprising that you suddenly decided to accept a marriage proposal. Don't you care about Yago anymore?" 'Vier' teased with a smile. Although he trusted Arianna's way of thinking, he still felt a bit upset when the thought of Arianna getting married to someone else came to mind.
"I told you last time to stop mentioning your brother's name." Arianna said, irritatef. She then paused for a while to regain her calm.
"What's the matter? Jayden is my fiance. It's normal for us to plan for our wedding." she said with a sneer. "Unlike someone I know. He is already engaged but still date other women."
Jayden was over the moon when as he listened to Arianna announce her willingness to marry him. However, when he heard Arianna's last words, Jayden suddenly turned pale. Somehow, that sentence hit his conscience bull's eye!
"What a pity. The fiancee is such a wonderful woman. What would happen if she suddenly finds out that her man was openly hooking up with other girls," Arianna continued and then meaningfully turned to Jayden. "Am I right, dear? Such despicable men... they deserve to go to hell."
Jayden was unable to voice out a reply. He was feeling guilty when he thought of how he was sharing his bed with Belle. Every words that left Arianna's mouth was like intentionally said for him to hear.
But of course they were.
'Vier' smiled as he understood Arianna's intention. She knew Jayden was cheating and so she said those words for him. But, why was it that when she looked at 'Vier', a strange feeling gets acrossed to him. Something he can't explain.
"Excuse me Vier, I think I should leave first. My husband is still waiting for me at the hotel." The woman behind 'Vier' said her goodbyes and left. The three of them were left in there with only 'Vier' standing.
"Wow Vier, you're even hooking up with a married woman?" Arianna said with a look of disappointment. She shook her head as she sighed.
"She's just a friend. I don't even remember her." he explained with nonchalance.
"Whatever..." she said as she looked away. Jayden on the side watched them silently. Why is it that, between the three of them, this guy looked more like Arianna's boyfriend than him? They bickered like old couple. While Jayden looked like the great light bulb! What exactly was going on?
"Alright now. Stop glaring at me, okay? I'm leaving first. Congratulations... to you both."
'Vier' left after saying those words. He initially wanted to say congratulations on your up coming wedding, but he can't force himself to say the words.
"Arianna... that man.."
"His name is Vier... Yago's twin brother." Arianna explained.
Jayden nodded. If he is Yago's brother, then he is Arianna's half-brother to like Yago, right? No wonder he and Arianna looked close.
"And the woman behind him earlier? Do you know her too?"
"No. I don't. I wouldn't normally care about his business. Who cares about how many women he date at the same time! But his fiancee is one of my closest friend. She's such an unlucky lady to have Vier!"
Arianna shook her head. She really feels extremely irritated whenever he sees that man. He can make her blood boil in a second! Just as she was taking a sip of her drink to calm her nerves, her phone suddenly vibrated, informing her about a new message that she just received. She took out het phone to check and was stunned silly by what he read.
"My dear princess, don't be angry anymore. I won't meet with other women or dine with them outside. I'm a very faithful lover. Please forgive me just this once?"
Arianna blushed when she read those words. Surely, the mail came from Vier. He was saying those words so that she wouldn't tell Ellaine all this things anymore, right? But... why did it seem like he was coaxing a jealous lover? Who is his lover! Who is jealous! Obviously not her! What a flirtatious guy! He is very good at playing with words! And how the hell did he get her number!
Inside a car outside the restaurant, Tiger sneezed as he watch Yago's car leave the parking lot.
"Did someone just curse me?"
***
Inside Jayden's office, Belle was burning in fury. Didn't Jayden said he was going to the office? But the employees herw were all saying they haven't seen their boss since yesterday! So where is he?
Belle fished out her phone and dialled Arianna's number. Very quickly, her call went through.
"Hello sister!" Arianna greeted her as she glanced at Jayden who was driving his car away from the restaurant by then. She sensed Jayden's nervousness. Shows like this is just what she needs on times like this. "I'm really glad you called. My mood suddenly became better."
"Is Jayden with you?" Belle asked with furrowed brows.
"Yes. He's right beside me. What about it?"
"Are you really planning to marry him? Eventhough you already know about us?" Belle's hand that was already shaking suddenly lost grip of her phone when she heard Arianna's answer.
"Isn't that the exact reason why I'm going to marry him?" Arianna said with a laugh that can send chills down one's spine. "I already lost Yago. I can't lose Jayden too. Don't you think so, sister? And the one who killed Yago, I'm making her pay."
Belle's phone dropped.
Yago... died?
How could that be?
Impossible. All the men that his uncle sent to injure Yago that night were all killed except for one. How did Yago die if the informant who was only tasked to observe and report the mission's outcome said Yago survived the incident unscathed? Was he lying? But he wouldn't! A failed operation is a humiliating matter to them...
Then... what exactly happened?
