Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 34

Returning to the office, Arianne ignored the churning coming from within her stomach. Her mind was preoccupied with the sight of Helen Cameran’s face. Never would she have thought that her long-lost mother would appear in her life like this. She did not know whether she was enraged or disgusted, but she experienced a tidal wave of emotions within her.

Since it had been so many years, Arianne looked different. Helen Cameran was unable to recognize her, however, she could distinguish her! Her face had long etched itself deep in her memory.

There was something she did not understand.

Helen Cameran had left when she was six years old. Even if she had immediately remarried, Aery Kinsey would have to be seven years younger than her regardless. It did not look like Aery Kinsey was underage…

If she were not her biological daughter, yet Helen Cameran could care for her so devotedly as a stepmother, then what was Arianne to her... Was Aery Kinsey her biological daughter?!

“Arianne Wynn, do you plan to stay here the whole night to work overtime?” Simon Donn did not sound kind when he came around to supervise, having nothing to do as he saw Arianne resting herself on the table.

Arianne straightened herself up and continued finishing up her chores without giving Simon Donn a single glance, upsetting the latter.

“Your husband is amazing huh, making an appearance at the office to kick me. Arianne Wynn, you’ll have to do whatever I make you do as long as you’re still here. I’m telling you now that you’ll suffer the consequences of what you’ve done!”

“What did you say?” Arianne jolted.

Simon Donn seethed once he recalled the incident.

“You didn’t know? Stop pretending. It’s an eye for an eye. Just you wait!”

Arianne’s mind blanked. Mark Tremont came to her office and beat up Simon Donn? Was this a joke? It felt like the shock from a meteor smashing into earth’s crust!

Taking in Arianne’s reaction, Simon Donn thought that she was afraid and felt his anger subside a little.

“Hah… it’s not too late if you apologize now. Maybe I’ll forgive you.”

Arianne took a glance at him and replied faintly, “Mr. Donn, I’m very busy. Please don’t disturb me.”

Chuckling out of his indignation, Simon Donn said, “You’re really… Okay, great. Take your time with your work then. Don’t leave the office until you finish them today!”

It was as if Arianne had been electrocuted when she jolted and flung Helen Cameran’s hand away. “You gave birth to Aery Kinsey before you left my dad? You’re appalling. You disgust me!”

From Arianne’s memory, Helen Cameran had lived separate from her father for a long time. To think she had actually done such filth behind their backs!

Helen Cameran’s voice was tinged with a sob.

“Ari, I’m sorry. It’s mommy’s fault. You can hit me or condemn me… it comforts me that at least you’ve lived well these years. Mark Tremont is a good guy. You mustn’t have suffered with him. I find relief in knowing this…”

“Mommy? You don’t deserve to be called mommy! Didn’t you ask me to leave Mark Tremont and give him to Aery Kinsey in the afternoon? What? Changed your mind now?” Arianne found dark humor in this situation.

Helen Cameran’s gaze was evasive.

“Ari… Mark Tremont’s taken care of you for many years, that said I don’t think you two make a good couple. To be honest, the Kinsey’s aren't doing too well now. We have to depend on Mark Tremont to stand up on our feet again. Your younger sister finally acquainted herself with Mark Tremont after a lot of effort. I’m caught in between too. I have my problems. Consider it my plea. Ari, leave Mark Tremont!”

Arianne bit her lips for a long time. It felt like Helen Cameran was calling Aery when she called her by her nickname ‘Ari’. Arianne Wynn and Aery Kinsey... the similar pronunciation of their names revolted her even more.
