Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 32

“Hey Michael.” Ariana answered a bit excited. She haven’t talked to her husband all day and she

missed him. She did not realized how attached she had gotten. She always thought clingy girlfriends

are annoying. Maybe that is why she lost Adam.

She heard a light chuckle on the other end, “It sounds as if someone missed me?” He always liked

teasing her.

Ariana started blushing and said coquettishly, “Who missed you? I was just frighten by the call.”

Ariana was amused by her own voice. Michael really did bring out another side of her.

“Anything you say. I miss you though and I can’t wait to come home to show you how much I do.”

He really did miss her. He wanted to left Samantha and go back to his wife but reality has different

plans for them. It was late and he couldn’t leave Samantha alone, hopefully the doctor can be done

with her soon.

Ariana felt her heart tingled from the sexiness of his voice and she knew all too well what Michael

wants to do with her. He was like a beast that was locked up for years. “Where are you now?”

Michael did not want to lie to her but he knew she did not feel comfortable with him alone with

Samantha. Their relationship is already fragile and cannot take the contention. “I am on my way home.

I will be back in about half hour.”

He closed his eyes in frustration from the lie he told her. Well technically it is not a lie. He is on his

way home, he just did not specify his location.

“Okay, I am at the clubhouse with Emily. I will be leaving soon.” Ariana wanted to suggest for him

to pick her up but she knew he must be tired for driving so long.

“Do you want me to pick you up?”

“No, that is okay. Drive safe.” They hang up.

Ariana washed her face and winced in pain. Her lip was worse than she thought but the nose bled

stopped. Michael is really going to be worried. Ariana curse Gina in her heart.

She walked out of the bathroom and went back to the room where she left Emily.

Emily was half sleeping due to the intoxication but was fully sobered when she saw Ariana’s

swollen face. “Ariana, what the hell happen to you?”

Ariana pouted because she knew the dramatic reaction her best friend will have anytime she

caught herself in trouble.

“Can’t I leave you alone for a second and expect you to stay out of trouble?” Emily was now

furious and she have an idea who is brave enough to do something so silly.

“I am alright. Why do you have to make a fuss about this?” Ariana did not see the reason for so

much excitement.

“What do you mean by making a fuss? Have you seen your face? You palm size face is like a

water balloon waiting to by popped.

“Let’s go. You talk too much.” Ariana wanted to reach home before Michael so she could get some

ointment to bring down the swelling.

“Babe, you need fight back. Stop letting that family of yours take advantage of you. I thought you

marrying Michael would have make my worry less. It looked like I was fooling myself.” Emily was so

angry, she was getting red. She wanted to go to the Fearon Home and burn it to the ground and hope

all of them burn along with it.

“If I didn’t know better I wound think you’re the one who got slapped.” Ariana face was now

burning. She just want to go home. Ariana took her coat and handbag and Emily did the same.

Emily grabbed her hands and pulled her to the door. Ariana could not do anything but follow along.

When she got outside the clubhouse, the cold breeze blew on her bruised face and she shivered from

feeling.

She got so caught up with Adam and Gina that she forgot to call Peter. It seem as if Peter took her

advised and went away. The only time she wished someone did not listen to her they actually did.

Emily was still pulling her by her wrist. “Where are you taking me?”

“To the hospital of course. My car is close to the entrance so let’s go.” Emily did not give her

anytime to refuse before she opened the car’s passenger door and pushed her in.

Emily went around and got in the car. She knew Ariana is very stubborn and wouldn’t go to the

hospital if not forced. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“I don’t need to go to the hospital. It is just a simple bruise.” Ariana pleaded with Emily.

Emily did not pay any attention to her pleadings for Ariana have no idea of what is good for her.

She takes anything life throws at her. Sometimes you have to throw back the things you don’t need and

dictate what is best for you in order to survive in this world.

Ariana finally stopped talking for it was no use when she have a dominant friend like Emily. She

will bring her to hospital no matter how much she refused.

Ariana was really worried about Michael. He was still on the road and will be furious if he goes

home and she is not there. She could call him to let him know but he must be tired and she did not

want to add to it by taking him off course.

Ariana prayed that the ER is empty. Giving the time at night, it was almost eleven so there

shouldn’t be a crowd. There was a private hospital close enough so she figured they will go there.

Emily drive onto the hospital compound and parked in the hospital parking lot. They made their

way in the hospital and went to the second floor. There are two ER in this hospital. The first floor is for

major situations such as car accidents. The second floor has another ER for mild injuries.

At this moment, Samantha food had been taken care of and she did not need to spend the night at

the hospital. Michael had bought flats for her in the hospital gift shop. Samantha cannot walk in the

heels for now but even in flats she cannot walk steadily.

They grew up together so Michael naturally has a soft spot for but as siblings. He hugged her by

her waist so she could lean on him a bit. In this way some of the pressure can be lift off the ankle when

she walks.

He was making his way to the elevator when suddenly it opens. He did not pay attention to who

was coming out of the elevator until he heard, “Mickey, isn’t she the girl that works for you?”

“Who?” Michael looked up and when his eyes came in contact with those familiar brown eyes, his

entire body became a statue.
