Arianna, oblivious of the trending searches, goes to the company with Arian. Mother and son were walking hand in hand licking icecream.
' What are reporters doing here?' Arian asks.
' Maybe they have questions about our company.' Arianna suggested even though it seemed far from likely.
Arianna felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Just as she was about to answer the phone the reporters sighted her.
' Miss Havana what made you adopt an unknown child?'
' Is he aware of his actual origin?'
' Would you hand him over if his actual parents came?'
Arianna's face turned ice cold.
' Arian is MY son. He belongs to me. Who told you such rubbish?' Arianna says angrily.
' Then what about the trending video of your confession about your son's origin.' A reporter asks
' Mom, what are these people saying?' Arian asks confusion feeling his mind.
A reporter hands Arian a tablet and the conversation between Ken and Arianna in the hospital. The tablet falls from Arian hands. ( If only you could see the reporter's face when his expensive tablet broke)
No! It wasn't possible. Arianna Olivia Havana was his mother. He looked at Arianna's face and he could see her eyes looking at him guiltily.
He needed to get away. He turned around and ran a car stopped in front of him.
The treasure hunters come down.
' Brainstorm take me from here.' Arian says.
Brandon looks at Arianna and she nods at him.
Arian enters the car and the car zoomed off.
An murderous aura came out of from Arianna.
Arianna stared at the company name of the reporter who gave Arian the tablet.
She would find out who leaked that video and she would make sure the company of that reporter would shut down.
*****************
' Not her biological son!!! So what is all this nonsense about him being Arianna and Ken's child? What hold do they have in Ken's life?' Eric Stone shouted.
' I didn't know. I thought that he was Ken's child considering the relationship between them in the past.' Fred replies.
' Our whole plan was based on a thought you had! I don't care how you do this but you must ruin the Khurana Industry.' Eric Stone says and hangs up.
********************
Arianna returned back to her Villa. She was in no mood to work. She was mad noo she was furious!
As she stepped into the house, she sees Ashley, Riona, Arthur, Mira, Skyler and Raymond waiting at her entrance.
' Is it true Olivia?' Arthur asks
' Arianna what am I hearing?' Raymond says.
' What's going on?' Skyler asks.
' Arianna how did they find out?' Ashley ask.
' Find out? So it's true?' Raymond says shocked.
' Yes it is true! Arian is not my biological son! I found him five years ago. But we were better off not knowing and that's why I will severely punish those involved in this conspiracy else my name is not Arianna Olivia Havana.' Arianna says.
The guys were shocked.
' Wait all you ladies knew about this ?' Arthur asks.
' I found out yesterday.' Mira says.
' Riona was present and there was no way they could hide a baby from me.' Ashley says.
The guys were silent. How is this possible? They could not believe it.
' What do we do now?' Riona ask
' Two days! I need just two days and I will put an end to all these nonsense. Help me schedule a press conference for next tomorrow at 3pm.' Arianna replies and walks to her room.
She calls Brandon.
*******************
Arian sat down on the bed in the empty room and cried. For the first time, in three out of four years of his life, he cried.
The heavens was so unfair. He wasn't his mother's son? He was picked up at a dump? If there was anything he loved the most In his life it would be his mother. He loved her more than life itself.
He hears a knock and he cleans his face and turns the other way. Brandon enters with a phone.
' Young Master, your mother wants to speak with you.' Brandon says.
' I don't want to talk right now.' Arian says in a hoarse voice.
Brandon puts the phone on speak and Arianna's voice fills the room.
' Baby, I'm sorry. But give me two days, everything will be set in two days.' Arianna says. Brandon walks out of the room and enters another where all the treasure hunters are seated.
' Lady Boss what's happening.'
' I'm really confused.'
' Is it true?'
' Yes it is. But that changes nothing, Arian Aiden Havana is my son and nothing in the world can change that. Leave that, I want you to find out why the mastermind exposed this video and how did he get it?' Arianna says.
' This isn't the work of the Mastermind. The Mastermind is a C-rated criminal. This one is below G. It is a Sage Thompson.' Brandon replies.
' Sage Thompson! I ignored her stupidity for four years at college not anymore. Make arrangements to gather evidence against Sage Thompson and dig up dirt on her. Shut down her fashion house and show the Thompson Industry our pinky finger.' Arianna says.
' Understood.' Brandon replies and hangs up.
*****************
Ken was worried to the core. Brandon told him not to meet Arianna as the Mastermind might be watching. He had tried calling her but her number was busy. He tried again and it went through.
' my little k... Arianna are you okay?' Ken ask worriedly.
' Honestly no, but I will be. In two days I will deal with the both of them.' Arianna replies.
' Both of them?' Ken asks.
' Well your Sage Thompson uploaded that video. I will not spare her. And yes don't let her suspect anything. I like catching them by surprise.'
******************
' CEO of ARADEC industry, Miss Havana has proudly announces her son at the opening ceremony of their industry but who would have thought they had no blood relations. Her supposed son Arian Havana was picked up from the dump as a baby.' The newscaster says .
Sage was gloating. She had always been protective of that stupid child, she could only imagine the look on Arianna's face. Let her check the progress on the internet. The topic was already number one on trending with over 1 billion people active on comment.
' O.M.G and I secretly criticized her for having a sugar daddy, turns out she's raising someone else's child happily.'
' She's so brave. Risking her future love life for an unknown child.'
' And I thought she was immoral for having a child at a young age.'
' She's my new idol.'
' Did you guys see the news update at ARADEC industry website? They are holding a press conference in two days.'
' I am definitely going to watch it.'
' From now on, I will only wear ARADEC clothing. They will be as genuine as their CEO.'
Sage was furious. She didn't think the netizens would support Arianna..
She hired trolls to fuel the dying fire.
' A trash child ha!'
' Only God knows the bloodline of that forsaken child.'
The next moment,
10 million people reported the comment and the Facebook account was blocked.
**************
Arianna was busy thinking about Arian. She had just got off the phone with Brandon after confirming
Arian had eaten.
She didn't have any appetite at all. She was bloodthirsty. She would destroy them.
At that moment, Fred walked in.
' Arianna I heard what happened. Are you okay?' Fred says acting concerned.
' It's okay. Arian just doesn't want to talk to me and I need some time by myself.' Arianna replies.
Fred nods and walks away a malicious look on his face. All his efforts were wasted on the wrong thing except... He could make Arianna think that Ken uploaded the video..
' Arianna, do you have any beef with CEO Khurana? Is that why he uploaded the video?' Fred says
' Why would you assume that Mr Khurana and I are at loggerheads?' Arianna asks.
' Well at the ceremony he refused to toast to you until another person told him to and he had said that you are unworthy and a bad person. Maybe he uploaded the video.' Fred says.
Arianna frowned and Fred smiled.
Arianna knew Ken wouldn't say such a thing especially since she found out what happened that night. Was Fred sowing discord?
