Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 13

Ariana bit the corner of her lower lip and looked at him with her pure and shining eyes. She wanted

to say yes because she liked him too and she wanted to say no to secure her heart from hurt to come.

It was inevitable for they were worlds apart.

Her heart spoke against her reasoning, “Yes, I will be with you!” she was so shy that Michael

barely heard her response.

He looked at her with gleaming eyes, “Say it again.” He wanted to make sure he is hearing right.

“I am not repeating myself.” Her face started heating up and she felt embarrassed. Michael jumped

off the hospital bed and picked her up. “You don’t have to repeat, the first time was good enough for

me.”

Ariana couldn’t believe her eyes, the man was laughing like a little child because of her answer.

…

They left the hospital after completing the release procedures and paying the bill.

Michael took Ariana to a 24 hour Diner to get some food. Soon they were both eating.

He almost choked on his food when he heard her suddenly said, “There will be conditions to our

relationship.”

He coughed lightly, “Ariana, do you really think you should be negotiating with me?” the man knew

it was too good to be true. She looked at him with her big bright eyes and his cold heart melted

instantly. “Alright, go ahead. Let me see what I can agree to.”

Ariana started, “I want you to help me find my mother.”

“I already said I would so please get to the point.” Ariana felt embarrassed because she was seen

through.

Ariana ignored his comment, “I don’t want to be in the eyes of the public because I don’t want a

bunch of paparazzi following me around a hen and her chicks.” Michael paused for a while then he

nodded. That would be best for he did not want to notify the Matthews’ Family until their relationship

was firm enough.

“I don’t want you to take revenge on the Fearon’s Family, I can do it myself” she said waving her

index finger in front of him.

“Are you sure? You can’t even retaliate to an ant. You only have strength for me.” He retorted

feeling useless if he can’t at least revenge his woman.

And last but the most important, “Please do not touch me without my permission. I want to stay in

my own home and I don’t think we have to get married.”

Michael blurted arrogantly, “No way, I can agree to everything except the last three.”

“Take it or leave it. Which do you pick?” she asked knowing well he would agree.

He suddenly kissed her lightly on the lips and said, “You already agree and you aren’t allowed to

take it back. As for where you will live, it will be with me. I will not allow my woman to live separate from

me. You will have the best life can offer.”

Ariana felt the warmness surged inside her but she still refute, “That is not necessary, I don’t fancy

money and material things.” Michael looked at her shocked, she is really different from other females. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

He will not allow her to get away from him.

“We will get a marriage certificate next Monday. You can get your documents ready.” Michael

totally ignored the fact that she did not want to get married. “It will make my research easier to find your

mom.” He lied.

Ariana did not believe him but she chose not to call him out on his lie to save his face. “Fine, I can’t

do anything about you anyways.”

Michael was happy.

….

In the car, Ariana noticed the care was moving in an unfamiliar route. She sat up straight and

asked, “Where are we going?”

“We’re are going home.” Michael simply answered.

“But this is not the route to my home.” She was irritated by his attitude for she deserve even at

least the chance to pack.

“This will be your new home, as for your things at your apartment. You don’t have to remove them.

I will keep paying your rent and I will be preparing new clothes, shoes and skin wear for you.” The man

was determine to bring her home with him.

“I still need to go home to fetch a few things. And how can I marry you if I don’t collect my

requested documents.” Ariana definitely cannot win against him.

Michael was happy her response. He smiled but he did not say anything else.

As soon as the car pulled up in the drive way, Ariana noticed the mansion in front her. It was so

huge and beautiful. It was a European style house. Michael say the amusement in her eyes and felt

proud.

“Do you like it?” he asked her smiling from ear to ear.

“Uh huh” she responded not paying attention to him but the unique style house. Now she is eager

to go inside and see what it like. Michael seemed to read her mind and led her in. she was even more

amused when she walked, everything was so expensive. The walls were painted in white and the

furniture were all in black or white but everything look luxurious.

Michael hugged her from behind but she did not resist. He kissed her on her cheeks but he did not

take it further.

He took her upstairs to the master bedroom. “Why did you bring me into the master bedroom, I

thought I would have my own room?”

“And why would I give you your own room? My woman needs to sleep in my bed.” Without giving

her time to refute, he went into his closet and came out with one of his shirts and threw it at her. He

then took his robe and went to the adjoining bathroom.

Ariana stood in the room blank. When she came back to her senses, she heard water so she knew

he is taking a shower. She changed her clothes and went under the quilt. Only thing out was her big

eyes and jet black thick hair spreading over the pillow.

When Michael came out of the bathroom in his robe and a towel to dry his hair, he was drawn by

the image on the bed. She was so alluring then he couldn’t resist. He went over and pressed her down.

She looked at him like a frighten rabbit. “You… you, what are you doing?”

“What does it look like I am doing?” he asked her without shame.

“Get off me. I told you that you can’t touch me.” Ariana was really scared. She did not want her first

time to go like this.

The man sneered, “When did I agree to your request not to touch you.” Ariana eyes went wide and

when she thought about it, he really did not agree to not touch her.

“Well can you please not do anything to me?” Michael did not say anything but he went in for a

kiss. At first she tried to resist then she slowly started reciprocating to his kiss clumsily. Michael could

tell that she was an amateur when it came to love and relationship. When they were both almost of

breath, Michael released her and said, “I told you that I would not touch you if it is not given willingly.”

Then he rolled off her to the side.

Even though Ariana did not want to do the deed, she still felt a bit dejected as if she had lost

something precious to her.

Michael hugged her and quietly and said, “Go to bed. I have put in a sick day for you so you don’t

have to go to work. You can sleep in late.” Shortly after the man heard an even breathing coming from

the woman next to him. He smiled feeling accomplished, he didn’t even felt this accomplished when he

won the company through life and death with his uncle. He went to bed shortly after.
