Chapter 185: In the Gene
“Why were you trying to beg him? I know it was wrong that you had an abortion without his consent. And I also know that I flopped when I helped you achieve your aim.
But you shouldn’t beg him like you did. You made him play a super being or a demigod. He is unhappy, hurt and betrayed. But he will calm down eventually” Richard reprimanded his sister, walking her to the parking lot.
“Jace is right to be mad and furious with me. I was wrong here. If he was the one, he wouldn’t hesitate to apologise, Jace is good at that.
And now, I am in love with him. I love Jace very much and it hurts me to see him unhappy. I wouldn’t mind begging him over and over again to get his forgiveness” Arianna snapped at him and walked over to her car.
When he had issues with Genesis, didn’t he go and apologise to her? Wasn’t he ready to turn the whole city upside down to get her back?
So why couldn’t she do the same thing and get her man back. Besides, they have a son. Jace has tactically taken custody of their son and might not let her be with him
This is what he did when he got a restraining order against her back then. This time, he simply forbids her from seeing her son. This is too painful for her to accept.
“Whatever. So where are you going?” Richard asked. Going home to their parents would mean another bashing for him. He would prefer to go to his new mansion and think of what to do.
“I don’t know yet” Arianna replied and got into the car. Richard could guess she was going to the Delmark’s Mansion. He sighed, he won’t stop her though.
But he already announced to his parents that morning that he was moving into his Mansion. They probably wouldn’t be expecting him back.
“If you think you want to live outside the Delmark’s Mansion, just call me. You can move in with me” Richard suggested.

“How can you say I shouldn’t talk to you about Arianna anymore? You love her, right? True love doesn’t just evaporate after a single offence.
I wish I knew what love was back then when I mistreated Rosalinda. I wouldn’t have pushed her to the point where she no longer cares about me.
Now I feel I’m in love with her. I’m crazy about her. My waking and sleeping thoughts are about Rosalinda and I can’t be with her, she hates me now. Don’t push Arianna away, Jace” Chase cautioned.
“What am I supposed to do or say now, Chase. I told Arianna I wanted us to be married. She should resign and I will ensure she keeps getting all her income.
I wanted us to have another baby and raise a family. I wanted us to be a legal couple but she said no. And the height of it was aborting my innocent child.
What do you expect me to do, still cohabit with such a woman? She’s a career woman and not ready to raise a family. Shouldn’t I leave her to pursue her dreams while I forge ahead with my life?
Tell me what does a woman want? I love her, respect her, care for her and I’m ready to do whatever she wants. But she doesn’t care about me and my son, she’s concerned about her career.
She wants to get to the peak of her career and she wouldn’t let me or my unborn child stand in her way. So I free her to pursue her dreams and I will see just how I’ll move on with my life” Jace bellowed.
Chase doesn’t know how else he would reply. Arianna crossed the Rubicon. She would need to plead with Jace to forgive her.

Arianna drove her car into her parents Mansion. Adrian Delmark was also getting into the Mansion, Coming behind his daughter.
Arianna alighted and waited for her parents as they both alighted. They were dressed gorgeously, an indication that they probably went out to keep up with an appointment.
“Why are you not at work?” Adrian Delmark asked, walking past his daughter and going towards the house. He knew things would go wrong between her and Jace: at least after what she did to him.
“I no longer work at the Hudson’s holding”Arianna responded and went into the mansion after Jane. Her parents didn’t say anything to her until they got in.
“If I tell you that I don’t expect that Jace would fire you, then I am lying. You deserve more cruel punishment from him than this.
And now that you are out of job, I think you should start searching for a job elsewhere. And don’t forget to tell them the truth why you fell out with CEO Jace” Adrian Delmark bellowed, sinking into the sofa and crossing his legs.
“I know you already know what happened. But I wasn’t ready for the baby. So I got rid of it” Arianna mumbled, looking away. It seems she has no hiding place at all.
“What right do you have to terminate the life of an unborn child without the consent of its father? You think because you carried the baby in your womb you own the final power on decision making, right?” Adrian Delmark asked.
“And you are lucky enough to have a stupid brother who willingly offers you his services. You connived with Richard to kill Jace’s child, right?” Jane Delmark stuttered.
Arianna was dazed. Her father and stepmom are one Kind of people that one cannot predict. How come they both are tongue lashing her?
“So why are you here?” Adrian asked, glaring at his daughter. But why didn’t she discuss the pregnancy with Jace and give him the condition of marriage as the only reason to keep the baby?
Jace is a responsible guy. He definitely would have agreed with her on whatever she wants. This whole shit wouldn’t have happened.
But his daughter is as stupid as his son. This is definitely from him. They both can’t be thinking within the same line if they don’t have the same thing in their heads.
Did they get it from him? He probably was also stupid when he planted his seed in Susan and turned his back on her. No wonder he didn’t know about the existence of his daughter until many years later.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
This is a case of stupidity in the gene. He glared at his daughter. At that moment, he felt it’s not her fault. It’s probably not Richard’s fault either. But how can he salvage the mess that they have both created?
