Lahat ng Kabanata ng Chasing Arieon: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

Numb.That was the only word to describe how Arieon was feeling presently. She stood in the living room staring at the large family portrait that was hung on the wall on too of the staircase. She walked up the stairs, her eyes never leaving the huge portrait. It was a portrait of her, Enzo and their triplets. She was seated on a white throne-like chair with the triplets carefully placed on her lap. Enzo was sitting on the arm of the chair with her leaning closer to him. One of his arm was across her shoulders while his other hand was holding her hand. She had a warm smile on her face while Enzo was sporting his signature poker face. The triplets were looking forward in curiosity also. All in all, they looked like the perfect family.Oh the irony, Arieon thought as a bitter chuckle left her lips. Her fingers traced the names that were scribbled at the lower left corner. Vincenzo and Arieon Armani with their beautiful triplets. Antonio, Andrea abd Alessandra (two months old).A sad s

Five years later..."Daddy!", Alessa ran towards her father as he walked into the living room. Even though he was tired as hell, he crouched down to pick her up. He was thankful for Matteo that made him change out if his bloody shirt before coming home."Principessa, how are you?", He said as he went to sit on the couch with her on his lap. "I'm fine! I missed you", she said and hugged him again. Then she began to cry. Worry filled his senses as he made her look at me, "Baby, what happened?". "Andrea and Antonio won't let me play with them", she sniffled. A sigh of relief escaped his mouth and he kissed her forehead. "It's okay, baby? Don't cry. Daddy doesn't like it when you cry", he told her. She nodded making her soft curls bounce along with her head. As he wiped her tears, he heard the tiny footsteps of the other two troublemakers."Daddy!". A smirk tugged on his lips as he watched the boys run into the living room. He helped them up to sit on the couch. Feeling protective, Aless

"Thank you for letting me see them", Arieon said to Enzo. After their late night dinner, he drove her back to the hotel she was staying I while the kids had fallen asleep in the car. "They've been wanting to see you", he said to her. She smiled and tucked the loose strand of her hair behind her ear. "Thank you", she said. "You're welcome. Goodnight"*l, he said to her. "Goodnight", she said and turned to walk away. The next day, Arieon and her team were already at one of the international hospitals in Italy. They were having a discussion on how to go about the research for the cure. "We only have two weeks to spend here", Cody said to one of the directors. The elderly man nodded, "It's not a problem. We'll see to what we can do to make this research successful". "The girl is already suffering. She's slipping in and out of coma every week and she's losing blood", Arieon said."We'll do what we can. We also need assistance from a company to make this research successful", another direct

"Daddy, I want to see mommy", Alessa said as she looked at her father. "Me too, daddy", Andrea abd Antonio added. Enzo looked up from his iPad and sighed. Why did he decide to wait a little before going to work. "You'll see your mommy very soon if you eat your breakfast", he said to them. The three kids immediately picked up their spoons and continued to eat their cereal. "Uncle, uncle!", Alexi ran into the dining room where they were. Enzo looked up as Alexi ran into his arms. "What's wrong?", he asked as Alexi looked up at him in tears. "Mommy wants me to wear the itchy socks!", he cried out and clenched his shirt as Agatha called his name."Alexi, come back here!", Agatha yelled making him gulp in fear. "Uncle, don't let her make me wear it. I'll die!", he panicked. Enzo was amused at how he was reluctant to wear the socks Agatha picked out for him. Agatha walked in and rolled her eyes as she saw her son hugging Enzo. "Alexi, it's not itchy", Agatha said. "You don't know that!", he

Arieon's mind wasn't at rest and she lost a her composure. After her encounter with Isabella and the bomb shell was dropped on her. She couldn't concentrate anymore. She felt as if her life had already collapsed. "You look pale". Arieon looked up from her laptop to see Agatha walk in. "Agatha", Arieon said as she placed her laptop aside and stood up to hug her friend. "I've missed you", Agatha said as they pulled away. "Me too. I can't believe I'm leaving you guys again", Arieon said to her. "Are you okay?", Agatha asked as they sat on the bed. A sigh left Arieon's mouth as she ran her hand through her hair. "My life is fucked up", Arieon said. "What's wrong?", Agatha asked with a frown. "I don't want to talk about it now. I'll tell you later", Arieon told her.Choosing not to force her, Agatha nodded. "Alexi had been sick for some days. If he wasn't, I would have visited you earlier", she said to her. "How is he now?", Arieon asked. "He's okay. He's at school with the others so I de
