"No... Please don't..."
Ariana seemed to know what Duchess Hermine was going to say to her. What kind of favor does she want if it doesn't involve Zayn, her beloved son. And for some reason, Ariana felt she shouldn't agree. She already involved herself too much with the said man which she doesn't want to cross that line much more. Or maybe, she will be the one who will broken. Just this much is enough.
But as if knowing what Ariana was afraid of, Duchess Hermine grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand.
"Don't tell me that you didn't care about him Ariana. Do you lie to yourself because you're afraid of getting hurt?"
"I have my own goal that I wanted to achieve and I'm sorry mom, but his love is never one of them." Ariana doesn't want the woman to expect too much from her so she tells her straight.
"So you won't be by his side forever?"
