Chapter 19

• Ariel's office
• Staring at the screen of the desktop with a deep frown on her face, a drop of tears slid down her cheeks, but she quickly wipes it off and tries to focus on work.
• She glances over to Max's office, and she can't help the sting she feels in her heart. Seeing the sad expression on his face, she can't help the pain that fills her from within. She feels like everything is her fault. Maybe he wouldn't be having issues with his beloved wife if she wasn't brought into the family in the first place, but then, this was never her fault on second thought. Not that she came willingly, she was forced here.
