Chapter 106- Face To Face

“ I want to stay with Grandpa," I said ignoring him.

“ Ariana, if your uncle wants to talk to you it's because it's important, stop being like that,” my aunt cautioned and I stood up with a scowl.

I kissed my grandpa on his cheek before walking out of the room with Uncle Garry. He was the last person I wanted to talk to, not today, not tomorrow or ever.

I followed behind him until he stopped and I stopped then he turned to me.

" Whatever you want to say, say it fast,” I said as I looked at him with a frown. I didn't like him and I'm sure he knew that.

“ You should learn to show me some respect, young woman," he said as he put his hands in his pocket looking at me.

“ I give my respect to who is deserving of it, be done with what you have to say,” I said and he chuckled,

“ What do you want?" I asked in impatience,

“ Did he say who it was that kidnapped him? Did he recognize any face?" He asked and I looked at him in shock,

“ Really? That's what you called me out here for? Are you scared? Worried he might have recognized you?" I asked as I folded my hands looking at him and he just scoffed.

“ I'm not scared of anything and young woman learn not to accuse people falsely," he warned,

" What do you want me to say? You call me out here and then you ask if he mentioned the names of his kidnapers, any sensible person would know there's something fishy, you didn't even ask how he's doing, you don't fucking care,” I said as he took a step towards me and I stood in place not moving and inch. He wasn't going to scare me like he does to my mother.

“ I'm going to warn you Ariana, one thing I hate is disrespect, and you tend to do that a lot, don't fucking accuse me of something you're not sure of," he said and I scoffed,

“ And I'm going to tell you this dear uncle Garry, one thing I hate the most, more than anything is a traitor, especially when that traitor is from my family, I swear on my father's grave, if I find out you had anything to do with my father's death or my grandpa's kidnapping, you're going to pay for it, dearly," I said as I looked him square in the eyes.

He was trying to intimate me but I wouldn't be me if I didn't have my head raised with my eyes shooting daggers at him, if he thinks I'm going to break the stare first he has something else coming for him.

Our staring contest was broken by the ringing of my phone as I moved back and walked away from him to answer the call.

I looked at my phone screen to see it was a call from Sasha.

“ Hey girlfriend," I said,

“ Hey girl, how are you doing? How's your grandpa? Is he awake now?" She asked and I couldn't help but smile at the concern in her voice,

“ Yeah, he's awake now, thank you Sasha," I said as I leaned on the wall with a sigh,

“ Oh thank God, that's good to know," she said,

“ Yeah, but he gave us a scare last night but I'm glad he's okay now,” I said,

“ Yeah, I'll come see him as soon as I'm done with my shoot," she said,

“ Alright dear, thank you once again," I said,

“ Anytime," she said,

“ Bye," I said before I ended the call.

Just after ending the call with Sasha my phone started ringing again and it was a call from Hardin.

" Hello Hardin, good morning," I said,

“ Good morning Miss Miller, how are you doing?" he asked,

“ I'm good, my grandpa woke up this morning," I said,

“ Really that's an exciting news I'll be there soon," he said,

" Okay, I'll be expecting you,” I said before I ended the call.

I took a deep breath before I walked back into grandpa's room.

My eyes met with Uncle Garry's before I removed it from him to look at my grandpa. I noticed the way my Mom looked between the both of us, I'm sure she must be wondering what we went out to talk about.

It's nothing new that I didn't like him. If she was scared of him and allowed him to threaten her I'm not going to let him do the same to me.

My dad wasn't sleeping when he named me Stone. He knew just what he was doing.

“ Grandpa my friend says hi," I said with a smile and he just gave a simple nod.

“ I'm so glad you're here with us, so, so glad,” I said as I gently hugged him.

I'm going to make whoever is responsible for this pay, they'll face even worse than the pain they caused me and my family.

HARDIN'S POV

I walked out of my house closing the door and immediately I felt the hair on my body rise. I have this feeling whenever someone is watching me.

I quickly turned as I looked around but I didn't see anyone. Am I being paranoid?

I shook off the feeling as I walked to my garage and then I got into my red
Bugatti as I started the car and drove off.

I was in my car heading to the hospital when my eyes went to the side mirror and I noticed that a black truck was following behind me.

I'm seriously being paranoid, it could just be any car following me.

Just to make sure I was wrong or right, I decided to take another route to the hospital and I noticed the car also taking the same turn as me. I was being followed.

Instead of continuing driving like my head was telling me, I stopped the car but before I could open the door and step out the person in black truck increased their speed and sped off and I sat in my car in confusion.

Who could that have been?
