Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 22

“Dad, how can I be unreasonable when your precious daughter was the one who had done evil

things.” Ariana tears finally fell.

“It doesn’t matter what your sister has done, she is the younger sister and as big sister you are

supposed to forgive her if she does anything wrong.” Ashton did not like Ariana so he did not find what

he had said wrong.

People coming in and out started to look at the family. An officer approached, “Please this is a

police station, lower your voices.”

“I will not lower my voice until I see my daughter.” Angela roared at the officer.

Alex carried Ariana away, “Let me bring you to the vehicle to wait for the President.” Ariana wiped

her tears and nodded. When she was walking away her father grabbed her by her arm, “Tell them to let

Gina go and this is a misunderstanding.”

“Dad, how can it be a misunderstanding when there are solid evidence.” After all these years of ill-

treatment, Ariana still cannot believe that her biological father could treat her so unfairly especially

when it came to her sister.

“I will make you regret this Ariana.” Ashton cursed at her.

“Mr. Fearon if you don’t keep quit we will detain you and your family.” The officer was getting

irritated by this noisy family. Ashton released her and waited on a bench in the station. Ariana went to

sit in the car while Alex stand guard.

In the Interrogation Room

Malcolm brought Johnson in and threw him to a stool. He grunt in pain. He looked two decades

older over the past two days.

Gina gasped when she saw Johnson. How could this be? She thought Johnson got to Ariana the

other day successfully. She did not mentioned it earlier because she wanted to play innocent.

“What happen to him? Why is he in here?” Gina asked nervously.

Michael hissed at her, “We should be asking you?”

Gina stayed quiet.

“Johnson’s call contacts showed that you called him right after you called Ariana out for lunch.

Shortly after you met Ariana she was drugged and taken to a room by you personally. Less than ten

minutes Johnson showed up to assault her.” Michael was calmed but that is when he is scarier and no

one knew what he was thinking.

“I did not know the drink was drugged and when I noticed she was acting weird, I took her to a

room to cool off. Johnson is her fiancée so I called him to take her to the hospital. I did not know that he

would take advantage of her.” Gina was only sinking herself further but Michael had other plans for her

other than giving her the years of imprisonment she deserved for trading his woman for sex.

“She called me to the room. I was to marry her originally and they persuade me to marry the sister.

I didn’t even know Ariana before.” Johnson was afraid of Michael and his people and he knew he was

in the wrong this time but he will not go down alone. “Please let me go. I have told you everything I

know. Gina and her mother planned everything.”

“Shut up! No one forced you. You were happy to have fun with her.” Gina realized that she just

threw herself under the bus and all eyes on her.

Malcolm chimed in, “Do you know that is a confession Miss Fearon?”

“I did not do anything.” She whispered. She just wanted her parents. She had never been put in a

tight spot before.

“Gina I can have you locked up in a Women Correctional Center for at least ten-fifteen years. That

is all your youthful years and your Fiancée will marry another woman. What do you think?” Michael

started to taunt her but later regretted it.

Even though Gina was scared of Michael, she tried hard not to be outdone. She was stronger than

Ariana in personality but deep down she has a low self-esteem. “Mr. Matthews, do you think that will be

wise? Think about it, Adam might not wait on me if I am locked up but who do you think he will want to

marry if I am not here to distract him?”

Michael body went stiff but his face remain expressionless so he was a hard one to read. “Do you

think Adam Richard have what it takes to take my woman?” Michael snorted at her but he was not that

confident as he sounds.

“It is not who you are. Do you think Ariana care about your status or money? She is too naïve to

think she can survive on her traditional morals. Life is nothing without money but she will choose love

over money.” Gina smiled sweetly and rest back in her chair. “What position do you hold in her heart?”

Michael would not show weakness in front of anyone. “Keep talking nonsense. I will not send you

to prison but not because of what you said. I will offer you something worse than prison.”

Everybody stared at Michael wanting to know how he will handle the situation. He was known for

his decisiveness cruelty and business. Gina face lost color and her throat went dry. There were five of

them in the room. She, Johnson, Mr. Matthews and the two officers. The entire room was now quiet

waiting on Michael to speak.

Michael could hear her heartbeat from across the table. She smirked at Gina with a look of disdain

and said, “You will marry Johnson as you should have from the beginning.”

Johnson’s eyes lit up at the suggestion. He would not lose with either sister.

“No way! I already have a wedding coming three months from now.” Gina started shaking her head

non-stop. She did not seduce Adam for no reason. She wanted to get marry into the Richards family

because she loved him from the first time she saw him with Ariana then later learnt that he is the heir of

the Richard Company. They have great influence in this City as well as the Matthews.

Michael got up and said, “This is final.” Gina break down in tears instantly. She have to delay the

wedding and have Adam fix it for him. Adam will be back in a month.

……..

Michael came out of the station and light a cigar. What Gina said about Ariana choosing love over

money really scared him. Was Ariana still in love with her ex-boyfriend? He knew Ariana did not love

him now but he will work on making her fall in love with him. First he need to get the marriage

certificate and he had plan on getting today instead of waiting until next week.

He also got some clues on her mother as well. “How long did you plan on standing behind me?”

“Do you have eyes behind you?” Malcolm laughed and walked next to him. He took a cigar and © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

light it as well.

“What made you chose Ariana Fearon? I thought you were going to marry Samantha Miller.”

Malcolm asked curiously.
