Chapter: 817
Doubt began to creep in, insidious and persistent. Maybe his unwavering persistence had been misplaced. Perhaps their children didn’t have to be terminated after all.
Maybe the situation wasn’t as dire as he had imagined. Theodore lingered by Ariana’s side for a while longer, his presence a silent plea for forgiveness
As the door gently closed behind him, Ariana’s eyes began to flutter open. Slowly, she propped herself up, her searching hand fumbling beneath the pillow in a desperate quest for her phone.
Earlier that afternoon, the doctor had presented Ariana with a consent form for the abortion procedure. However, she adamantly refused to affix her signature to it, causing a tumultuous commotion that eventually led to the departure of everyone involved.
Deep within her, Ariana felt convinced of Theodore’s unwavering stance, leaving no room for compromise.
Yet, beneath the surface, a truth lingered. Ariana had never truly harbored the intention to terminate her pregnancy. Her resolve, fortified by an unyielding determination, pushed her to seek a way out of this confining place.
Nevertheless, her current predicament posed a formidable challenge.
Theodore’s watchful eyes seemed to monitor her every move, making it exceedingly difficult for her to slip away unnoticed. She needed to come up with a solution.
Under the shroud of night, in front of a modest villa, two figures became entangled in a struggle. It was Brielle and Reilly. Reilly’s hand found its place upon Brielle’s hip, a gesture laden with a sinister leer.
Troubles had plagued him incessantly as of late, with the elusive root cause perpetually eluding his grasp. The company’s accounts bore unsightly gaps that demanded filling, yet the flow of cash remained insufficient. Consequently, he contemplated leveraging his connections to procure a loan.
After careful consideration, he set his sights on Brielle.
“Brielle,” he uttered, his voice laced with a mix of suggestion and desire, “spending just one night with Mr. Barrack will grant you access to all the resources you desire.”
Reilly’s eyes remained fixed on her. Though he had subtly alluded to engaging in such relationships with influential individuals in the past, the directness of his proposition left Brielle taken aback.
“What are you suggesting? I’m a celebrity! How could you expect me to do such a thing?” she retorted, her voice Laced with disbelief.
Reilly’s expression contorted with disdain as he sneered, “Celebrity? Let's be frank here, you're nothing more than a whore.”
In the realm of today’s entertainment industry, how many top stars hadn’t resorted to similar means to ascend the ladder of fame? Even Brielle had fallen victim to Jasper’s manipulation and disregard. In fact, Reilly held a deep-seated loathing for her
Nonetheless, he found himself in need of her assistance, so he softened his approach, attempting to coax her. “Just this one time. Once it’s done, all the resources will be at your disposal, and I'll even marry you.” Internally rolling her eyes, Brielle grasped the delicate nature of the situation and couldn’t afford to offend him. Feigning
consideration for his proposal, she managed to dismiss him as he departed in his car.
Standing at her front door, a forced smile on her face, Brielle immediately dropped her facade and vented her frustration through a string of curses.
To her astonishment, when she opened the door without turning on the lights, a hand emerged from the darkness, pulling her inside.
“Ah! Help!” Terror engulfed Brielle as she screamed, convinced she had come face to face with a deranged stalker.
However, as she surveyed her surroundings, utilizing the faint glow emitted by her phone, she soon recognized the familiar countenance of Jasper.
Brielle’s terrified scream echoed through the silence, but Jasper quickly hushed her with a hand pressed to her mouth.
