Yago sighed. He has been sleepless the past two nights. The third night doesn't feel any different at all. In fact, it seemed to be getting worse. Yago felt as if his mind was going crazy as he glance at Arianna sitting in front of the vanity mirror. She looked so enticing wearing that lace night dress that Yago couldn't help but blush a deep shade of red! He can see her curves beneath the slip dress! She's doing it on purpose, right? The gutsy woman was provoking him on purpose. Was she testing him and how far he can hold onto himself?
A while later, Arianna left the vanity table and head for the bed. She was going to sleep just like that again, isn't she? Well, not so fast.
As Arianna lie on her side, Yago inched closer behind her. He then wrapped an arm around her waist and cuddled next to her. Arianna was startled, but calmed down soon after. She laughed a bit as she felt his lips on her nape.
"Oh! Mr. dela Vega was feeling restless?" She teased. Yago didn't reply though. He continued showering kisses on her fair back. As he bit her earlobe, he started caressing her smooth legs. He only wanted to scare Arianna, but the lack of struggle from the woman ignited more fire in his heart. He was almost out of control as he started touching the skin under her dress.
Arianna was supposed to feel excited, but the pills she took already kicked in. It was a multi-vitamins that has a strong sleep-inducing effect. She started taking it after she got depressed before, when she thought Yago died in the shooting incident. She could hardly sleep before, but thanks to that pills, she recovered her health and good sleep.
Yago stopped as he sensed her lack of movements. He checked on her only to find Arianna already asleep. What a really heartless woman! How can she fall asleep like this everytime? Well forget it. He wasn't intending to do anything to her anyway. It's good that he was stopped in time. He then stood up and head to the bathroom. A cold shower is a must at the moment.

Arianna blinked a few times as she stared at the morning sun outside the window. She slept soundly last night. What happened? She then peeked at herself under the blanket; she was still wearing her clothes.Yago must have done nothing. Well, Yago won't molest a sleeping woman, right? It's not that she didn't want to do it with him, it's just that....it's unfair to not be aware of it when it happens! She wants to be awake and sober when she experience her first time with a man! Yes! She was aware that Yago didn't do anything to her before inside his apartment. She only realized it later when Jayden forced himself on her. If Jayden's touch alone could hurt her while she's drunk, why would Yago's vigor be non-existent in her mind? It could only be that Yago didn't do anything to her, right? She woke up feeling refreshed that day. With Yago's strength, she wouldn't be able to leave the bed if something really happened between them, she guessed. She was too naive to fall for his tricks.
Speaking of tricks, she hasn't done anything to get back at him for that night. Maybe it's time for revenge?
Arianna smiled as she get up from the bed. Yago has left the bed earlier as always. Did he not get a wink of sleep again? Poor Yago.... Maybe she should skip taking those pink pills tonight?

During the day, Arianna didn't see Yago much. What was he busy with? She tried searching for him but gave up half way. She wondered if he was upset. Or maybe he was up to something?
Arianna's phone lit up. She was currently sitting at the GV kitchen. She stayed after dinner, waiting for Yago as he skipped dinner earlier on. She wanted to be there when Yago asked for his supper. She missed him a lot already!
Arianna stared at the screen. It was Jayden again. She didn't plan on taking the call, but changed her mind last minute when she saw Yago approaching from the corner of her eyes.
"Hello babe! Sorry for making you wait. My phone was on silent mode. I didn't realized you were calling." she said as she glanced at the man taking up the seat beside her. "Oh... I'm having dinner.... Yes. I know it's quite late now, but I had something on earlier so...."
Yago looked at the woman beside him. He was busy earlier and didn't get to dine with her, but she was still here this late. Did she wait for him?
Yago turned to the meal on the table. She was having pork cutlets and wine? And half the bottle's contents were gone. So she stayed here to drink? She was so bad at holding her alcohol. Why was she drinking so much?
Yago snatched the phone from Arianna's hand which startled her. She watched as Yago turned her phone off and kept it inside his jacket.
"Let's go now. You can't drink this much." he said as he stood up and pulled her wrist.
"Give me back my phone! I was still talking to Jayden!", she insisted. When she saw his face darkened though, she felt bad and decided to change the topic. "Well no! I won't leave even if you glare at me all night! I want to see you have your dinner." she added stubbornly, looking away as she blushed with her words. She sounded childish, right?
Yago's expression softened a little with that, and so he sat back. "Alright. I'll have my dinner now. While I eat though, you're not allowed to touch this bottle of wine anymore." he stated, pointing at the bottle on the table. She was so red right now. Obviously, she's already drunk.
Arianna smirked. "What are you so afraid of? I'm a good drinker. I won't fall unconscious in front of you!" she uttered with arrogance.
"If you're so keen on finishing this bottle, then let me drink in your stead." Yago declared as he gestured for a servant to wait on him. He ordered food and two glasses of non-alcoholic beverages for Arianna to choose from.
"Are you sure you can drink so much? I'm warning you. This bottle of alcohol is very strong. I can only guarantee you a very bad hangover tomorrow." She relayed, as if convincing him to back out.
Yago raised his brows. If that alcohol was really strong, then shouldn't she be asleep now after drinking half the bottle? Who was she trying to fool? He had known her for almost all her life. Even the servants in the old house knew how bad she was at drinking. And she thinks she can bluff like this because she thought he was Vier? How amusing.
He was wrong this time though. He didn't get to finish the bottle as Yago passed out drunk after a few glasses. Arianna just looked at him with a bit of pity. Well, atleast he can have a peaceful night of sleep now. She was told this wine from Australia was strong, but she didn't think of it to be this strong! Yago who could hold his alcohol very well was now slumped at the table-unconscious. As for Arianna, the only reason she was unaffected was the DHM medicine she took. It's a new product from her partner company. The team leader of this Hovenia project assured her of its efficacy, and it looked like she was right. She needs to thank Gwen Morgan personally, later. She's a genius.
Arianna waved at the two men waiting on them. "Guys, Can I trouble you to send this drunkard to our room?" she said with a smile. Is it her chance to molest him this time? She giggled at the thought.
"Come honey, let's play a little." she whispered.
