Just and once

Chapter Nineteen

Chapter Eighteen

As soon as she drooped the call ,she wasted no time in fleeing out of her office , driving her anxious self down to the Rodriguez's mansion.

Why and What her presence was called for is something she is very much curious about.
She and Natasha, her mother in-law do not have that kind of close wife and mother-in-law relationship.

Not like she doesn't like her, she does. She accepted her whole fully when she got married to her husband.
The fact that she, Arianna, for the past years hasn't try much for their relationship,not like she has time anyways.

But she has been on her neck, pressurizing them for a grandchild. Maybe that made her a bit more stern with her.

She drove carefully and consciously into the garage, where she parked her car .
Having sighted the black car in the garage, she need no one to tell her that, Heritage, Richard's dad is home as well.

He loves the car so much, that it has become his signature car. Maybe because Richard gifted it to him.
Probably.

As if her arrival has been known, immediately she got to the doorstep she didn't got to ring the doorbell as one of their made opened the door wide for her.

" Good afternoon ma'am Arianna", she greeted with a small politefull bow.

" Hey Milda, Afternoon, where's everyone?", She asked.

" In the living room ",she responded.

Oh, they really have been waiting for her. God what could this be?
" Thank you then", she dismissed the woman with a polite smile.

And walking down to the living room, she truly met everyone their.
When she said everyone, she meant both of Richard's parents and Jessica.

" Aria, here you are",; Jessica exclaimed, standing up swiftly from the couch she was seated on.

" Good afternoon sir , ma. How have you been? ", Arianna greeted them , her face not void of that enchanting smile.

Heritage and Natasha seated side by side, she have this gut feeling that he has been comforting her over something before she arrived there.
She has this kind of worried look on her face.

" Arianna, welcome my daughter ", Heritage said, forcing out a smile.

" You should have your seat ", both mother and daughter said in sync.
On a normal ground, this will make everyone laughs but it didn't. Maybe today is that of a serious note.

" Hi Jessie, how is my baby doing?" Arianna mumbled as she sat beside her.

With her lips pressed together, she nodded .
Something is definitely happening. Everyone isn't their usual self.

With a forced smile, she faced Natasha.
" Hope you have been well mother "

With a nod," Yes I have, How is Richard, how is my son?", She asked , and tearing up to Arianna's suprise.

What the heck is going on?
" Mom, it's okay please ", Jessie comforted.

" Natasha please, take it easy. Arianna is here already",

With a confused and lost look she asked, " Hope everything is fine ? This doesn't looks too good"

" It's about my brother Arianna. Everyone has been so worried about him . Especially mom, she kept breaking down", Jessica explained, worried lines formed on her forehead.

She gulped," Richard is fine, what about him? ",

" My son is not fine, he isn't ", Natasha sobbed.

" What exactly is happening? Dud something happened to my husband?", Arianna asked . Her heart almost jumping out of her chest, With how everyone is acting, did something horrible happened to her husband? But she should have known or what.........?
