Chapter 21

• Two days later
• Sitting on the edge of her bed and lost in thoughts, Ariel stares into space as tears stream down the corner of her cheek. She just got discharged from the hospital a couple of hours ago, and she needs to rest as per the doctor's order. The doctor said that she needs to rest more and stress less since she's pregnant. Max and Alicia went to work earlier today, and she's the only one at home with the maid.
• The sound of the knock on her door pulls her attention, and she glances at the door, wondering who could be there. The last time she remember, she wasn't expecting anybody. The only person that'll knock on her door is Max, and since he's not around, she can't help but wonder who that would be.
