Games Of Destiny

chapter thirty five

ARIANA'S POV

I was really heartbroken with what I just discovered, I never imagined that they could do such a thing to me. And even aunt Rose whom I took as a mother was also part of it, I didn't expect it from her. As soon as we reached home, I ran straight to my room, locked the door, and cried my heart out. Just thinking about it made me cry, the ride in the car was quiet, Fiona looked at me with sympathy, she said soft words to make me feel better but it didn't work. Nothing worked, and what's more frustrating was my phone that kept on ringing the whole time.

I stayed in my room until it was time for dinner, Monica brought dinner for me and I had thanked her, she told me how the princess had covered up for my absence at the dinner table. The whole time I just nodded at her, I wanted to tell her what happened but I that time I just wanted to be alone, I told her that I wanted to be alone, she agreed in understanding and left.
I did have my dinner, it's almost ten already, I was about to sleep when my phone started ringing again. That phone has no idea how much I want to smash it o the wall, but I didn't or let's say I couldn't, the king got it for me. It was the latest iPhone 13 and I'm sure that it is really expensive, so I just let the phone ring all it wants. It kept on ringing like that for almost thirty minutes, I couldn't sleep because of it so I picked up not even looking at the ID, I knew it was the King

" hel-" I was saying but he yelled so loudly at the other side

" why haven't you been picking my calls? Fuck! Do you know how worried I've been? " he said all one go, I just stared ahead not knowing what to say, he continued " I'm talking to you Ariana! " he yelled again, this time, he called my name. He always calls my name when he was angry at me, oh! so no beautiful this time huh! if only this man knows what I'm going through right now, he would have let me be

" Ariana are you even listening to me? " he said snapping me out of my thoughts, frustration cleared in his voice, I ran a hand through my hair an sighed

" I'm here! And would you stop shouting? It's night time already!" I said the only thing that I could think of right now, he sighed deeply, I can already imagine him raking a hand through his hair

" tell me why you have not been picking up my calls? " he asked in a much calmer tone, better! Cause if not, I was going to hang up on him. The fact that he left two days before our wedding is still not forgotten

" oh sorry about that, I wasn't close to my phone " I said so casually, I was still on my sleeping form on the bed, staring at the ceiling.

" All day long?" He asked, and I'm sure he raised his eyebrow.

" yes?" I answered but It was more of a question, it wasn't fully a lie, I guess! I didn't bring it along with me to swellville, just thinking of the village makes me want to cry.

" you are lying! And your voice sounds different, tell me have you been crying? You better tell me what happened! " he ordered, anger was heard in his voice, I sat up. This means Fiona didn't tell him anything, but I also can't tell him what happened, it will be better if we let it be.

" no! I didn't cry, I'm just a little stressed out about the whole wedding arrangements" I lied and I know that he didn't buy it, he groaned in frustration,

" alright now tell me the real reason, cause I know my mom will never let you help out with any of the wedding arrangements " he pointed out, I face palmed myself, how could I even think that? Just look at me i can't even come up with a good lie. " and don't get yourself stressed out about the wedding, you should have a lot of rest" he said, Just then I thought of something

" yeah! Says the person who left two days before his wedding" I said and rolled my eyes, he sighed again

" I thought we've already talked about this Ari "
