Entangled

Chapter-53

Xavier Knight

"Xavier, son, how are you!" My mom lunged onto me the moment I entered the living room of Knight's mansion.

"I'm good. How are you?" I asked, embracing her in my arms.

"Now that I have seen you, I'm more than fine." She replied.

"Hey, dad." I side hugged my father.

"Where's your wife?" Dad asked.

"Yes Xavier, where is Ariana? How is she? I wanted to meet her too." My mom asked.

"She...had some work," I replied in low voice.

"Xavier, are you still upset with us?" Mom asked sadly.

Was I? Well, I was but not anymore. They are my parents and I love them to death but they shouldn't have done that. They shouldn't have blackmailed me into marriage. It's my luck that Ariana didn't turn out a bad woman, she's the best woman I have ever met. My parents were so confident about her nature. But what if they had emotionally blackmailed me to marry some brat?

I wanted to bring Ariana with me to tell my parents about our developing feelings but it's good that she wasn't with me right now because I wanted some answers from my parents. I wanted to know what was the emergency that they had to take that step to marry me off. If they were that much eager to marry me to Ariana they should have asked me to meet her first.

"I'm not upset anymore." I sighed silently.

"You don't sound like that. Xavier tell me, Is everything okay between you two?" Mom asked hesitantly. Her hesitation proved that she knew that what they did was not right.

"Mom, Dad, before I tell you anything about me and Ariana, I want you to answer my questions," I said. They both looked at each other then at me.

"We know you're confused with our behavior. We didn't give you time to think about marriage. That was our mistake but trust us, Xavier, we didn't have time. It had to be done that way." Dad replied, slumping his shoulders. That is what I wanted to know. Why it had to be done that way?

Before I could ask anything, my phone vibrated. It was Ariana. She must be waiting for me in the office.

I picked up the call but before I could speak an unknown voice spoke.

"Hello.." I frowned hearing the voice.

"Who's this? Where's the owner of the phone? I asked sternly.

"Sir, the owner of this phone has been rushed to the hospital. She met with an accident. Your number was on the emergency call list that's why I called you. Please come to 24/7 health care hospital."

"A..acc.. accident?" My heart dropped in the pit of my stomach.

"I'm on my way."

"What happened?" My parents asked.

"A.. Ariana is in hospital. I..I have to go." I stuttered. Fear gripped inside me.

"What?!" My parents got alarmed as well.

"You go. We'll follow you." Dad said.

I rushed to my car and ordered Finn to drive as fast as he could. When the car stopped in front of the hospital, I ran inside.

"Excuse me. A woman named Ariana has been admitted to this hospital a few minutes ago. It's an accident case. What's the room number." I asked the receptionist in a hurry.

"She is in room number 130." The receptionist replied, typing on her computer.

When I reached the floor I saw a female doctor coming out of room number 130. I immediately ran towards her.
