Chapter 30 You deliberately announced that youre breaking off our engagement at the engagement party .
Then , you got the press to release that ridiculous article .
Now , youre flirting openly with William Kingsman and provoking me at the auction .
Didnt you do all this just to get my attention ? Well , now you have it , Brian sald , reaching out a hand to tilt Arianas chin higher .
Just as he leaned his face closer , Ariana laughed .
Do you think this is fair to Evelyn , Mr.
Lodge? Brian froze when he heard Evelyns name .
Seeing this , Ariana pulled herself from his grip and wound her arms around Brians neck instead , giving him a seductive look .
Youre right .
Ive done all this just to get your attention .
But honestly , the sofa is too cramped .
Why dont we move to my room ? Now that Ariana had revealed her true colors , Brian immediately shoved her aside with a look of disgust.
Stop using these cheap tricks on me , Arianal he said coldly .
You enjoy my cheap tricks though .
Ariana leaned against the back of the couch casually .
Stop being so self- righteous .
Youre a man .
I know what youre like .
You like having sex with one woman while thinking about another .
Isnt that how it works ? She pressed closer to Brian .
Dont worry , Mr.
Lodge , I wont tell Ms.
Granger about what happens tonight .

Lambert .
I tried , but he didnt want me .
What more can I do ? Besides , he said it himself : he would never marry someone like me .
Everyone already knows about our breakup .
This engagement is as good as over , Ariana sighed dramatically .
From across the room , Brian scoffed .
Ariana had brought this to herself .
She had no one else to blame .
Mr.
Lodge , I know for a fact that Ariana is very much in love with you .
Im sure appearing with Mr.
Kingsman was just a misunderstanding .
Please , I know youre a magnanimous man .
Do forgive her just this once , Gwen said .
Then , as if remembering something , she hurried upstairs and came back down with a large box .
On the way down , she lost her footing on the stairs .
The contents of the box spilled all over the floor .
Arianas face darkened at the sight .
The box was filled with things related to Brian .
There were photos of Brian and clippings of his newspaper appearances , even a full sized body pillow of him .
These were items that Ariana had painstakingly collected and cherished in the past .
1/2 Chapter 30 Of course , this was all before her rebirth .
Stop ! she blurted out .
Dont touch that ! +25 BONUS However , Brian had already picked up a doll , which had a photograph of him attached to the head .
Brian stared at it for a moment before laughing , though it was fueled by anger .
