Chapter 3 You Missed Dinner

"No! No! No!!!" Ariane woke up screaming from dreaming she slowly sat up sobbing into her arms totally unaware of the person in bed with her who had woken up hearing her screams.

"Hey hey its okay it was just a nightmare" Lucas tried rubbing her back to calm her down but she scooted away. "Don't... Don't touch me" it wasn't just any nightmare it had actually happened. It still felt so real the fear in her heart as she tumbled down, the instant pain she had felt when she hit the concrete ground.

It had been long since it disturbed her dreams she actually managed to bury all those memories deep down but it seemed everything with Lucas had brought them back.

"I'm sorry"

Ariane didn't acknowledge the apology instead she looked to the alarm clock that showed the time to be 6:00am thinking she might as well start getting ready for work

***

"Hey I'm almost done serving breakfast" Lucas called out to Ariane as she walked past the open dining room door. She looked into the dining room for a second before continuing on her way

The chef and servants were dumbstruck. It had been surprising enough to see their master in the kitchen cooking and now the woman he made all this effort for just treated him like he was invisible.

"Ari Hey wait up" Lucas chased after her.

"Where's my car?" She finally stopped to talk to him realising she didn't know anywhere in this entire estate. But if he could move her entire wardrobe it was possible he collected her car too.

"Where are you headed to? We have to meet my parents for Lunch today and it's our honeymoon we should be spending it together"

"Thanks but I'll pass. I still work and as far as my superiors are concerned I'm single as can be. I'd like it to remain that way, I don't suppose you were planning to keep me locked up in this place forever even though I wouldn't put it past you to do so"

"I'm not going to keep you locked up It's just that I told my parents we'd have Lunch with them but since you have to work I can move it to dinner."

****

Ariane walked into her father's house and her mother came running down the stairs.

"Ariane what are you doing here? Does Lucas know you are here?"

"Thanks for the warm welcome mom. You don't have to worry you won't have to look at me for too long I just want to pick a couple of my things and I'll leave."

"Baby I didn't mean it like that" Ariane slammed the door to her room shut behind her and almost ran to her wardrobe. Her mind had been on this all day she quickly checked her safe box to know if it had been tampered with by whoever Lucas sent to get her things.

Inputing the code she opened her safe and pulled out everything in it. Confirming the contents were complete she took out all the love letters she had gotten from Lucas and foolishly stored, tore them up and put the rest in her hand bag.

"What are you doing here?" Ariane looked at her father who was standing outside the door.

"Didn't mean to bother you daddy dearest I'll be gone soon I just need 20 minutes max"

****

Ding!

Ariane pressed the door bell to her best friend Amy's apartment.

Ding! Ding!

"Whaat?" Amy drawled the minute she opened the door.

"Why isn't anyone happy to see me" Ariane pouted making her way into the apartment before Amy could ask her to come in.

"Because you just disturbed my beauty sleep. Hold on is that what I think it is" Amy seemed fully awake after seeing the time capsule Ariane was clutching in her arms.

"Yup I dug it up since I'm no longer going to live there I thought to take everything I owned"

Ding!

The door bell rang again.

"It's probably Pamela I asked her to come over so we could open up the time capsule."

"Oh great invite the entire group over when I look so unkempt"

"... Haha guys do you remember Mr. Finn our coach and how we frustrated him every day during football practise" It was dark outside and the three girls sitting in Amy's living room were reminiscing about their childhood over bottles of wine that Ariane had brought

"Yo we were crazy kids. I could tell why he was so frustrated everyday who knew adulthood could be so damn terrible. The responsibility, bills, people expecting something from you all the time..."

"Speaking of expectations. I certainly don't think that Keith expects you calling in hung-over for work tomorrow" Ariane stared at Amy who was already pouring her self another glass.

"Keith can go fuck him self okay besides when else am I going to get the chance to casually catch up on old times over wine costing $700 a bottle. Oh shit guys I just remembered something!!! Remember when we were horny teens you and Pamela had this like huge crush on Lucas and I was head over hills for Freddie. Look at you now Mrs. Ariane Moretti King."

"Wait what? You are married? To Lucas? How come no one told nothing? His sister didn't even tell me about it" Ariane mentally slapped her self sighing at Amy's blabber mouth.

"Yh it kind of happened in a rush. It wasn't meant to happen crazy story. Jessica didn't even attend. She probably didn't know about it or she might have known. I mean it wasn't really a long notice. You know what Amy I think you've had enough drinks for tonight let me get you ready for bed." Ariane was casually blabbing out any thing that came to mind not sure what to say.

"You know it's been a fun night and all. I gotta go I have an important meeting with my boss tomorrow see ya." Pamela quickly excused her self and they both bid her goodnight before Amy stumbled her way into the bedroom with Ariane's help.

"Hey guys did any one see my car keys reached the parking lot before I realised it wasn't on..." Pamela walked back into Amy's apartment 10 minutes later and noticed both Ariane and Amy were in the bedroom. She proceeded to search for her keys, she had just found them when someone's rang out.

"Hey Ari your phone's ringing. It Lucas Mo..." She didn't complete her sentence but instead frowned at the messages that Lucas had been sending for the past hour. Ariane had left her phone on vibration and was too distracted to notice it.

Watching the door for signs of movement Pamela put the phone on airplane mode not before going through it with a sinister smile.

******

Ariane walked through the main door humming a tune after successfully finding her way back with the aid of the GPS she had the chauffeur input on her phone in the morning. She sure as hell couldn't go back to her father's house, she could stay with Amy but she didn't know what would happen to Jared if she didn't 'Behave'.

Maybe it was the alcohol in her system she was in a lighter mood and failed to notice the gloomy aura when she walked into her room.

"Where the hell have you been?"Ariane jumped back scared by the sudden angry voice she heard realising it was Lucas she hissed.

"Fuck off!" She pulled off her jacket and headed for the bathroom ready for a shower before she slept. He on the other hand had different plans blocking her way and pulling both her arms

"I asked where have you been? WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU COMING FROM?"
