I Swear, Let Me Love You Again

3RD POV:

A WEEK LATER:

It had been exactly a week since Andrew had spoken to Ari and even seen her. He was going crazy but one thing he continued was his physical therapy. He concluded that instead of continuing to stress out, he would find a way to get Ariana back.

It was a Sunday afternoon, a day after the dramatic dinner. Lydia and Lorena had just arrived at Andrew’s penthouse and Andrew let them in, walking slowly and refusing Lydia’s help. She went into the kitchen to grab each of them a bottle of water and cook up something delicious, and Lorena and Andrew conversed until Andrew stated what he had been thinking about all night.

“What do you mean I shouldn’t call her and set up the meeting?” Lorena questioned with a loud voice staring Andrew with disbelief.

She feared for his life and their entire family, she strongly believed the wrath of Don Philip will be severe. So hearing this threw her off.

“What’s going on?” Lydia came into the sitting room in a haste and inquired with her eyebrows knitted together with worry.

“Nothing.” Andrew responded and Lorena jerked her head forward giving Andrew a look.

“Nothing? He just said I shouldn’t call the wedding planner anymore and cancel the meeting.” Lorena informed and Lydia gave him the exact look Lorena did.

“I appreciate you two coming here and trying to help but I will handle this. You all will be protected, I will take care of everything and take care of myself as we so kindly leave and let me handle this.” Lorena and Lydia looked at each other then right back at Andrew with disbelief.

He rose up from the couch and with his walking stick and exited out of the room leaving the two baffled.

After successfully pushing everyone away including his father who had been trying to make a means for his words, Andrew pulled up in Brabus wearing a black suit and his extravagant wristwatch. He had slicked back his hair and taken a lot of time to actually look good. He had also purchased gifts for Ari and her family, nervous was an understatement of how he felt but he was radiating confidence.

He had been calling Ariana and her dad every single day until last night her father finally picked and summoned him to their mansion. Andrew instantly began to prepare and Don Philips also informed Andrew that Ariana’s mother was around as well. He had never met and he couldn’t help but wonder how she would be like.

He hopped out of the car carefully and though he was no longer in need of his walking stick, his therapist had informed him to take it easy and he couldn’t wait to see the reaction on Ari’s face. He just silently hoped the evening goes as planned.

He was amazed at the location of Don Phillip’s mansion, he remembered vividly the last time he was trying to come over here he got into a near-death accident. The compound was beautifully filled with roses and flowers all around, security men surrounding each location and the only person who could sneak in would most likely be an expert because the security was just too tight.

“Welcome, Don Philip is waiting for you.” A guard opened the door and Andrew nodded but before he went by, he was searched.

It was amusing yet scary as he moved carefully following behind the guard. He just stared around the luxurious mansion with amazement, he commended the architects and the interior designers as it was so beautiful here. But it wasn’t different from what he had seen all his life, he just imagined a young version of Ari running around the house.

“If it’s not my son-in-law.” Don Philip announced grinning and gestured towards the maid to collect the basket of gifts from Andrew but stood nearby probably in case he rejected a very desperate Andrew.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

“Good evening sir.” He bowed respectfully and Don Philip shut his iPad and gazed at Andrew.

“I don’t have time today so make whatever you have to say fast.” Don Philip’s facial expression turned serious and tone stern.

Andrew took a deep breath and licked his lips trying to gather his words.

“I want to offer an apology to you Mr Philip. You have raised a queen and she deserves every single thing. She’s outspoken, well-educated, so beautiful and confident and I am so lucky to have and I want to commend you for raising her. This wasn’t the way Ari and I should have done about it and I totally apologize and take full accountability for my actions. I want you to know that even before I knew she was pregnant, I had already purchased this…” He brought out of his pocket a diamond ring in a cute velvet box.

“I brought the receipt as well so you can see how serious I am.” Don Phillip laughed deeply at that.

“I love Ari and I never planned or plan on humiliating her. I should have met you and been a true man without fearing your reaction to our relationship from the start. I apologize sir to you and your wife from the depth of my heart.” Andrew concluded and Don Philip was about to speak when Andrew remembered something he wanted to add.

“Oh and I didn’t cheat on Ari with Macy, I was crippled and even without being crippled, Ari knows I wouldn’t do that.” He added and Don Philip remained silent staring at him intently.

“You two can come out of there now.” Don Philip, who had seen his wife and Ari sneaking down and hiding behind the wall, called them out. Ari and her mum, who looked so much like her, their genes were so strong. They had the same eyes and lips but different body structures. It was amazing.

“Great and Darling, we are not together anymore which is why he forgot to include me in things he doesn’t play about. And does what I carefully instructed him not to.” She spoke and took a seat.

“I apologized already. Women I tell you.” Don Philip spoke and shook his head at his wife, making her chuckle. Andrew smiled seeing Ariana come out in a green short ball gown which was sleeveless.

“I carefully told him you love my daughter but he wouldn’t listen. It was lovely to hear that though, right honey?” Her mum questioned and everyone turned their attention to Ariana who was just staring at Andrew.

“Yeah, it was. Can I see the ring?” She all of a sudden got excited and Andrew rolled his eyes, displeased that she had heard that part.

“NO.” The three of them chorused and Ari frowned and ran towards Andrew giving him a warm embrace.
