ARIS POV
I would not believe how rude and sassy that girl Gabriella could be I was only trying to be understanding and come to a mutual relationship with her but she was far from making any mutual relationship with me.
She was so mean and was definitely very dangerous I tried my best to act like a good person but every single words I said sounded like threat in her ears. I was furious but I tired my best to keep it all in.
I did not go there to make any trouble but she definitely took it as so. So I left, I could not hold it all in, because I would have exploded in any minute so I had to walk out.
I headed straight home and lucky enough I did not meet Nico at home, he was still at work. He would be mad if he knew I went to Gabriella's office but I could not just sit home and watch him just do everything without me doing anything for him.
Ever since I had stepped foot into his life I had being bringing bad luck to him. His business and everything was on the line and I could not bring myself to watch everything he worked for crumble down to the floor.
I know it was not just my fault that we were both in this mess but I still had to do my best to make sure that none of us suffers too much burns.
I sat on the couch tiredly as I thought of what next to do, Gabriella was adamant and was definitely not going to give up so easily, she was not going to give up either until she proved that Nico and I are both in a fake relationship. I needed a plan that will make sure that the evidence that our marriage was fake would not show.
I slowly picked up my phone and immediately called my best friend Trish she was the only one who knows Vegas well and absolutely the reason I was in Vegas.
"Hey babe, how are you doing ?" She answered immediately she picked up the phone.
"I am fine" I asked even when I know that deep down I was not fine.
"You do not sound fine, Aris is there a problem?" She asked concerned. Trish and I have been best friends since we were teenagers and she could tell how I felt without looking at me.
No matter how hard I tried to hide it she was always able to find out the truth.
"I went to Gabriella's place today" I announced and I had to take the phone away from my ears so I would not go deaf.
"Are you crazy ? Why would you do that ? That lady is dangerous and you know it. Did you not tell me how she physical assaulted you when she found out that you are staying at her boyfriend house" she said over the phone and I frowned.
"Please listen to me" I replied but she kept nagging at me non stop.
"You know you are pregnant right ? What would you do if she attacks you ? Aris please let this be the last time you try this crazy thing okay ?" She warned and I smiled
"Okay ma'am" I answered. She acts like my mom but nevertheless I love her no matter what.
"So what happened there ? Did she hurt you ?" She asked and I laughed. She sure does not want to miss out on the gist.
"She did not, I only went there to plead with her to let me and Nico be but she was adamant. I do not know what to do, that lady would not back down" I answered and she sighed.
"I know she would not go down so easily that why you need to be careful, there should be no need to go there in the first place it might make her more angry" she explained and I nodded.
I know I should never go near her but at the same time I could not just sit still. I know very well that she was the one behind the immigration official that has been after us , so I needed to confront her myself.
"I know" I answered
"So why did you do it ?" Trish asked.
"I do not really know but seeing Nico fighting alone I could not help it" I said sincerely.
"Are you in love with him ?" She asked and I frowned, I immediately went speechless.
I could not answer her questions because I did not have an answer for her question. Just thinking about it made me confused. Nico was a good man and I was pregnant for him maybe that was why I feel this way, but love was something I could not bring myself to do.
I had only brought problems to him and I blamed myself for every single misfortune happening in his life and falling in love with him would only cause him more trouble. We were going to go our separate ways once our deal was done and if I fall in love with him it would only bring pain to me.
"What are you talking about ? Don't be silly I can't bring myself to fall in love with him I would only be ruining him" I answered with a hint of sadness in my voice.
"Why are you saying such rubbish ?" She asked annoyed she hated it when I was down and I could tell she was mad at me.
"Let just leave that aside Trish and let's focus on the matter at hand" I responded trying my possible best to take that discussion off the table. I was not ready to have such discussion now or forever.
"What matter ?" She asked nonchalantly.
"What am I going to do ? The immigration official are still after us and they are watching our every moves" I responded.
"How about a party ?" She suggested and I frowned.
"What are you talking about ?" I asked her confused.
"Yes a baby shower, that way you can get your friends and his friends to come. That way you both can show you are really a couple" she explained.
