Darling, only I can be your man

chapter 33

Ariana felt her heart broke in millions of pieces. Something she did not thought was possible after

being betrayed by Adam Richards, a boyfriend she loved for four years. She loved him even after being

betrayed but Michael replaced all of what was left of Adam.

But what did she expect, Michael Matthews is Capitalist and wealthy bachelor that can sweep any

woman off their feet if he wants. Why would he settle for a poor and pitiful woman like her?

Michael could not utter a word for a short while. He saw her face and fell in utter despair. “What

happen to your face?” he reached out to touch her face and she dodged his touch.

What nerve did he have touching her when another woman is in his arms? Did he marry her as a

joke? Even if this is a contractual marriage, the least he could do was be faithful until it ends.

“Mr. Matthews, I have other business to take care of. Have a nice night.” The disdain was evident

her voice and Michael felt his heart suffocating from her tone. The way she addressed his as Mr.

Matthews as if he meant nothing to her than just a boss.

Emily stand at the side and she did not want to get involved as yet. She wanted Ariana to fight this

one out. She hated man like Michael, wants to have mistresses and expect the wife to allow it because

they are more financially stable than the woman.

“Emily, let’s go. Didn’t you bring me here to see a doctor?” She called out to a dumbstruck Emily.

“Okay, let us go. It is not worth your dignity. Life goes on and we can find another way.” Emily

scoffed at Michael and Samantha. Emily thought Samantha was shameless to see the man wife and

still cling onto him and Michael was even worse to allow it.

“Mickey, why do you allow your employees to talk to you like that?” Samantha wanted to boost his

ego but she forgot that he is different from most men. She wanted to get the media to publish their

relationship going into the hotel but this is even better. She snuggled more in his arms without making

her swollen ankle noticed.

Michael did not respond to Samantha. He was boiling with anger from Ariana’s attitude towards

him and the comment her friend made was even worst. He did not even realized that Samantha was

deliberately taunting Ariana.

He lied to her but he is not guilty of anything. He could not leave her stranded. He just hope Ariana

can understand.

“Twinkle toes, don’t get it twisted. I am not his employee and Ariana is his…” before Emily could

finished she was stopped by Ariana, “Emily! Let’s go!” her face was deprived of emotions and all was

left is indifference.

Michael did not want to show any weakness in public so he straighten his back and said seriously,

“I will be back for you. Don’t leave the hospital.”

Ariana did not spare him a glance. Emily sneered at him and followed suit. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Michael knew she is stubborn so he just sigh and wait for the elevator again.

As soon as Emily and Ariana was out of sight, Samantha asked innocently, “Michael! What is the

relationship between you and Miss Ariana?” she was looking at him waiting for a response. The

glimpse of softness in his eyes didn’t go unnoticed by her when Ariana’s name is being mentioned.

She felt how his body stiffen when Ariana walked out of the elevator as if he was being caught

cheating. The way his eyes never left her and why on her would he need to come back for her? Is there

relationship more serious than she had hoped?

The elevator door opened and he pulled her inside. It wasn’t rough but his eyes had no tenderness

when looking at her. She pursed her lips, “Mickey, you haven’t answer my question.”

“Stop talking else I will send you back in a cab.” Samantha knew he was serious so she kept quiet.

Michael brought her to the car and placed her on the back seat. He then went around to the

driver’s seat to start the car but before pressing gas, he sent a text to Alex.

When he got to the hotel, there were two hotel attendants waiting.

“I have something else to do. These ladies will bring you up to your room.” Michael did not even

turn to look at her. The only thing was on his mind was to get back to his wife.

Samantha was disappointed. She wanted him to come to her bedroom so she could seduce him

and that would make him take responsibility for her.

It seem as if she sprained her ankle for nothing. Well not nothing, now Ariana is furious with

Michael and she will fuss with him until she pushed him to her.

She did not want to complain about it. Michael is no fool, if she carry on without thinking he will see

right through her. She just need a way to eliminate that woman.

She smiled, “Thank you for taking care of me tonight. I truly appreciate it.”

The two hotel attendants came forward and help her out of the car as instructed by Alex. Michael

drive off to the hospital as soon as she closed the door.

When he got to the hospital, he practically ran to the second floor to find Ariana but there was no

sign of her. He saw the doctor on duty and asked, “Excuse me, where is the lady that was just her with

her friend?”

The doctor was looking at him as if he had grown two horn. Michael became irritated, “She had a

bust lip and a swollen cheek.”

“Oh, they just left about five minutes ago.” The doctor knew he was someone than cannot be

offended but the previous description was too vague to comprehend, could have been anyone. “I have

other patients to attend to. Can I go now?”

Michael did not respond. He ran off. He took out his phone and dialed Ariana phone number but

the calls were being cut off until it was finally turned off or blocked.

“Damn it woman. Do you have to make things so difficult for us?” Michael cursed behind the

steering wheel.
