Darling, only I can be your man novel Chapter 53

  One week had passed since they found out about the pregnancy.

  Michael brought Ariana to a country of her choice for vacation the day after. She chose a country in the Tropical region, The Island of Jamaica.

  It is a small country surrounded by the crystal blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. Well we all know the water is not actually blue. The beaches are breathtakingly beautiful and the sunset is also beautiful across the horizon.

  Ariana and Michael enjoyed the week to their fullest. Michael was happy to see her back to herself.

  She enjoyed the Jamaican Jerk Chicken and Pork and he had to limit the amount of coconut she drinks. Few days after the knowing of the pregnancy, she starts to eat every hour on the hour.

  She even brought back a lot of her favorite Blue Mountain coffee that she can drink anytime soon.

  They are back in Westron City. Michael brought her home to settle down. Ariana was so exhausted from all the week’s excitement.

  The moment Ariana got home she ran up the stairs towards her bedroom.

  “Honey, please slow down for you will hurt yourself.” Michael trailed behind her with a worried expression.

  ‘This wife of mine will be giving me a heart attack before she goes into labor.’ Michael sighed.

  He went into the room to see her stretched across the bed.

  “I am so tired.” Ariana exclaimed and sat in the middle of the bed.

  “I did not know your adrenaline could have ran out.” Michael retorted sarcastically with a smile.

  Ariana had been so active these days, Michael could hardly tell if she was carrying a child within her.

  Ariana exhaled deeply, “I guess it has.” She wished she would never have to leave the Island but Michael have a company to run along with trains of businesses. She also have work too but Michael was unsuccessful in convincing her to stop work.

  “Get some rest. I am going to the company to sort out the pile of documents that needs my signature.” Alex was a capable Assistant and he has no doubt but he cannot signed off on the big contracts. They need his signature.

  Ariana made a sad face, “I understand. When can I expect you back?”

  Michael smirked at her behavior, “You can come to the office with me if you like.”

  “I am too tired for that. I will just sleep and eat to my heart’s content.” Ariana licked her lips and closed her eyes at the thought of food.

  Michael gulped at the sight, “Please behave.”

  “…” she stared at him blankly.

  “Where is Samantha? I was so excited to get in contact with the bed that I forgot she was with us.” Ariana asked while getting off the bed.

  Michael hugged her to his chest and she rest her palms to his torso, “Bunny, Samantha will be staying with us for few days before she goes back to Country C.” He looked down at her meeting her eyes, “Do you mind?”

  Ariana smiled and peck the corner of the mouth, “Of course I don’t. Where is she?”

  Michael knew she would be okay with it but his wife came first and her opinion matters especially when it has anything to with their home. What is his is also hers.

  Michael kissed her passionately and only let her go when they were both out of breath. “Let us go downstairs. She might be there or in the guest room.”

  Samantha and Ariana had become friends over the vacation week.

  Two days after Michael and Ariana was in Jamaica, Malcolm and Samantha arrived. Ariana got to know the real her and she was drawn to her almost immediately. It was like they never had a dispute before.

  Ariana being shocked was an understatement when she learned that Samantha was actually in love with Michael’s bestfriend Malcolm and had no intimate feelings towards Michael. She was just trying to please both families.

  Malcolm had to leave by the Wednesday due to his Detective workload but he left Samantha behind. Michael did not mind because he wanted her to get close to her twin sister with no one else around so it will not be too awkward when she learns she has a twin.

  “Okay.” Ariana responded and left the room with Michael.

  When they got to the Living room, Samantha was sitting on the couch. “Do you love birds have to always be at it?” Samantha teased and watch as Ariana’s face redden and Michael grinning proudly.

  This was the happiest she had ever seen him since childhood. She was truly happy for his friend.

  “Take care of my little rabbit. I am going to the company.” Michael commanded but not before he kissed Ariana.

  After he left, Ariana sat next to Sammy in the couch.

  She threw a pillow at her, “Can you stop teasing me as if you and Malcolm innocent!”

  It was Samantha’s time to become red. They might not be identical but they were so similar in personality.

  “Don’t say anything else.” Samantha scold her.

  Ariana chuckles, “I am going to ask the butler to prepare us some snacks and we can watch a movie.”

  They both fell asleep on each other half way through their second movie.

  …

  Somewhere Across the Globe.

  A middle age man about 50 years old with streaks of gray hair walked into his son’s room with a smug smile on his wrinkled face.

  “Dad, I haven’t seen you smiled like that for over two years.” The son stared at his father’s figure with a frown.

  His cold attitude towards his father did not wipe away his father’s smile. In fact he laughed out and patted his son’s head, “I have something to smile about now. I am happy my boy and you should be too.”

  “Dad, don’t patronize me. What are you talking about?” His son did not have much interest in the conversation. He was ready to accept his fate.

  His eyes lit up by what his father said next. “My boy, it is time.”
