The Divorced Heiress

“What do you mean when you say home?” Amanda asked fearfully.

“What I mean is that you are accompanying me home,” Ariana said, making Elsa

roll her eyes.

“You talk as if you live in this city while you don’t,” Elsa couldn’t help but say, making Ariana glare at her.

“I am not poor like you. I have a private jet and plane thus it will only take less than an hour to arrive home,” Ariana said, making Elsa speechless.

At first, she was angry when she heard the first sentence but when she heard the second one, she stopped since she had to admit that to the Andersons, she was indeed poor but in that city, her family was one of the four richest

families.

“You don’t need to show off your wealth, missy. I understand that you came from the richest family in the country,” Elsa said in between her teeth.

“Surprised that you got something correct,” Ariana said, making Elsa glare at

her.

“Both of you are just bickering here. What will happen if she really gets married to Ace?” Amanda asked after watching them for a while.

They both kept quiet but upon a closer look, one could see that Elsa was blushing while Ariana was annoyed slightly.

“Lock her up in the storage room or maybe…” Ariana did not dare finish her words afraid of making her sister angry

words afraid of making her sister angry.

She could tell that both Amanda and Elsa were so close and had known each other for a long time thus had a stronger bond than she had with Amanda. She was jealous of Elsa but did not dare show it on her face or say it out loud afraid of being mocked.

“My driver is waiting outside for me and both the plane and the jet are always ready in case of emergencies,” Ariana said.

“Gosh. I can do that as long as we are together, I have to get used to the rich life, huh?” Elsa said, making Ariana glare at her since she wondered why she could not stay quiet even for a second.

“Please, don’t mind her. She loves talking too much,” Amanda said after seeing annoyance in her sister’s eyes.

“How can I not mind her if she keeps interrupting me?” Ariana asked as she pretended to be pitiful.

“You better shut up and don’t talk if you aren’t questioned. If you dare talk then I will ask the security to throw you out and blacklist you from this hotel,” Ariana told Elsa whose eyes looked at her in disbelief.

“You can’t…” she said but stopped when she saw Ariana’s eyes piercing her, making her flinch.

She looked at Amanda pleading with her eyes but Amanda didn’t know what to do. Even though they were sisters, she wasn’t close to her and didn’t know what Ariana might do if she argued with her. She was so afraid that she might be abandoned by the only person she can remember as her family.

To her, it was a good thing that she was really a member of a big and rich

family. She knew that even though she had gotten a divorce from Damien and left their house, she knew that there were some people who liked to make her life miserable.

If she was just an ordinary person and didn’t have a strong background, she might end up without a job, homeless and even worse, sleeping in hunger. If both Eunice and Marie told Damien to put out a word that no one in the city should hire her, then nobody would do it.

Although Elsa came from one of the four richest families, her family would not fight with the richest family in the city for her since they weren’t as strong as the Scotts but the Andersons were different.

In front of the Andersons, the Scotts had to lower their heads and not look them in the eyes. They were not worthy of even being servants to the Andersons.

Thinking of everything she had passed through in that family, Amanda felt like crying but she knew that would only worry the people with her currently. Remembering the sufferings, traumas, beatings and abuse, she vowed to make herself as strong as her sister so that she could make the payment.

She had enough time to plan all that thus she pushed everything back on her

mind.

Something hit her, making her start panicking. From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ariana, do you think that they will like and accept me?” she asked after remembering she was going to meet her family which she had not seen for a long time.

Seeing her expression, Ariana knew what Amanda was thinking and afraid of.

“We are not like the other rich families that take in a child in the orphanage when they lose their own to become a substitute. We did not take anyone in, your position has been empty waiting for you. The room is still the same but has always been cleaned and we have been buying you birthday gifts and anything we come across and feel that you will like it. No one will hate you or fight with you. Your brothers and parents love you unconditionally Always have and always will,” Ariana said with a smile on her face as she did her best to reassure her.

Elsa was looking and listening at them beside them. She knew what was going on in Amanda’s head. They had always talked about what might happen if she ever found her biological parents.

Still, she wondered how a big and rich family like theirs could lose a child. Didn’t they have the securities and workers? Or was she plotted against? She knew that they had been the richest family in the country for more than a decade thus nothing made sense. She wanted to ask but she knew that it wasn’t her place to ask since they weren’t blood–related. And from Ariana’s reaction, Elsa could tell that she was jealous of her being close to her baby sister.

Amanda gave a genuine smile as she started preparing herself mentally for how it would be when she met them.

Ariana took her phone and started typing something but they didn’t pay

attention to it.

Since the waitress had already brought the ice cream, they ate it silently as they waited for her to finish.

“Madam, the plane is ready.”
