Marry Me, Miss Villainess - Chapter 86：I BECAME A CAT

“Call me master.” Belle teased Arianna who was currently sitting on the carpeted floor. “Come on, let me here you say it.”

Arianna raised her brows. “That’s gross. I’ll just call you…. my queen! Sounds better, right?”, she teased her back.

“You’re so not fun.” she complained with a frown. “Alright, stay here and behave yourself. I’m going out for while to do some shopping. You better not cause any trouble while I’m gone!” she then took her purse and went out of the room.

Arianna lay down on the floor and stretched her aching body. So, she’s a prisoner now huh? She wondered how long this will be? She can’t stay in such a dangerous place for a long time. Earlier, Belle told her about her supposed biological father. That he’s a cruel person and even she didn’t know how far he’ll go for the sake of revenge. She told her she’s not keen on torturing her or getting back at her anymore. The suspicious her could not believe that entirely, but whatever! As if there’s any difference whether she believes her or not.

A blind woman, imprisoned in a room. What kind of a life is that? This is very different to how she lived her life before. Before….. what was she before? A woman in control who do what she wants. She tried to exact revenge for her mother’s injustice. She fought hard so that no one can oppress them anymore. Her anger spiked even more because of the news of her mother’s sudden death. But after finding out that her mother is still alive, seeing her live a blissful life with her dad, her heart was pacified. In an instant, she’s not interested in revenge anymore, she just want to live a peaceful life with Yago…. and now with her baby, too. Maybe Arabella just got tired too? That somehow she felt hating her was tiring? And what’s there to even argue about? They used to like the same guy, but he is now out of their life for good. Or so she thinks.

“Hey Bijou! Wake up!”, Arianna opened her eyes and got up when she heard someone talking.

“What Bijou?”, she asked in a sleepy manner.

“That’s your new pet name. I heard someone say that word when I was shopping and I thought it suits you.” she said with a smile. Arianna was amused though. Did she choose that name because she likes cursing her? It’s close to the words “bitc* you” but whatever. Bijou means jewel in french anyway. It’s not that bad. “I brought you some take out. Eat it before it gets cold. I also bought you clothes. But you can’t wear them.” she said before putting a box of food in front of her.

Arianna sighed. Clothes that can’t be worn. Typically Arabella.

“I know what you’re thinking. You think I’m stupid huh? You always think I’m stupid.” she said when she noticed Arianna’s mocking expression.

“If you’re not stupid, then why did you leave Roy Vander?” she jested.

“Well, then we’re both stupid because you friendzone Yago! I knew he was into you from the start. He was too protective of you. But you wouldn’t turn his way.”Belle stated, determined to win this word war. Arianna stopped arguing though. It was her sore spot. She didn’t want to talk about it.

“If you call him now and ask him to rescue you, I promise I’ll help you find a chance to go out.” Belle added while they’re on the subject.

Arianna shook her head. “Forget it. I don’t know where he is right now. How about we call Roy for help? You missed him, right?”

“Who’s missing him? I’m not! Just eat your food and forget about escaping then!” she then turned around with a red face. Where did Arianna get the idea she was missing him? If she missed him, then she would have already called him! She always calls Jayden when she missed him before… Wait….

Wait a minute. She haven’t called Jayden for a long time too. Does that mean she’s over him? But she dated him for five years! How can she just get over him like that? No lovesickness?

8:00 AM the following morning:

Arianna woke up with the sound of Belle hurriedly pacing back and forth. She sat there over the mattress on the floor, listening to the woman raising a ruckus.

“What’s going on?”,she asked.

“I signed up for a few classes and I’m getting late. Where’s my phone, for God’s sake!”, she exclaimed. “Oh my! Why is this dress missing a button!”

Arianna remained seated like a statue. So this is probably how a cat feels every morning as she watch her human run around stupidly, she thought. Well, she couldn’t even see Belle and she’s already annoyed!

“I already told the maid to deliver your meals in time. Oh, and here’s your toy. Be good and quiet. I’ll be home in the afternoon.” she throw something in front of Arianna and then dashed out of the room.

“Yep! I officially became a cat.” she murmured, unamused. She then stretched her arm to feel the mattress in search of the ‘toy’ Belle left her. “I hope it’s not a mouse.” she told herself.

A few seconds later, she felt something familiar. Was it a wooden rod? A stick? Was she supposed to be a dog instead of a cat? How annoying! But then she suddenly felt the other end of that stick. It was…. the handle!

Arianna’s face brightened up in an instant. She held the thing with both hands and hugged it. “Hello Callum!” she exclaimed.

Immediately, the thing lighted up. “Good morning Miss Reid.” it said. “Please give orders.”

Arianna though for a while. “Well…. Connect me to Master Matthew Dylan Knox.” she commanded. She wanted to know if he’s alright. She’s been worrying about the kid ever since he woke up.

“Connecting to Master Dylan… Connected…” It took a while before she was able to contact Dylan, but she was delighted hearing his voice. She’s glad that he’s unharmed. “Don’t worry about me. Where are you now?”,the boy asked after some greetings. “Did they hurt you?”

“No, I’m alright. I’m with my sister right now. She won’t hurt me.” Well… she hasn’t hurt her. And she didn’t want to drag the boy to this problem. Howard Finn is a very influential man. She can’t implicate a child!

“Well, that’s good. I was really worried about you! I tried calling Yago Evans after you’re taken but I can’t reach him! I was really panicking you know!”

Arianna smiled at how alarmed he sounded. He’s just too cute.

“Don’t contact him anymore. I’m sure he’s busy.”she said with a smile.

“Hmm…busy with what? I searched for his whereabouts and recovered footages of him dating women in Spain. I didn’t know he was such a playboy!” he spat out.

Arianna was surprised. “Is there a misunderstanding? Yago isn’t like that.”

“I’m telling the truth. There are news of him inheriting the patriarch position of the dela Vega clan which is of noble blood. But the condition they gave him was that she has to marry Lady Regina, the duchess of Alba. Can you believe that?”

Arianna was dumbfounded. Yago was being forced to marry a noble lady? If this was before, she wouldn’t let this happen. She would fight for her man. But right now, what identity does she have? She’s nothing but a blind prisoner. She’s lower than a beggar.

“Jennifer, what is it?”, Roy said as he answered the phone.

“Boss, Miss Reid’s whereabouts remains unknown. But I gathered something from Mr. Dylan’s phonecall. Miss Reid said she’s now with her sister.” she reported.

Roy Vander’s eyes narrowed. Arianna is with Belle? This is getting tough. How can he explain this to Yago? He didn’t know where Belle went. If Yago finds out Arabella took Arianna away, he might hunt his woman down! He needs to find Belle first!

“Alright. Stay with Knox and surveil the boy’s movements. I think she might call Knox again so be prepared.” he said before hanging up the call. He then held his forehead. What a couple of troublesome women! Are they doing this on purpose?

Well… he didn’t know they weren’t… But they will…. very soon…
