Chapter 142 - You Don't Know Part 1

The crowd grasped as the two slipped into their own world. Cayden brought up his hands to Ariana's face and adjusted his lips, kissing felt too good, he didn't want it to end. While Ariana started to clutch at Cayden's white button up shirt. She needed something to keep her from floating away and she wasn't willing to let him go just yet.

"You sl*t!" A female voice yelled as Ariana's lips were pulled away from Cayden's. Vanessa had grabbed Ariana's shoulder and forced her to face her. Ariana was still lost in her feelings, her face was slightly flushed, lips were slightly parted and her eyes were glazed over with passion. Vanessa gnashed her teeth as she pulled back her hand. "How dare you kiss my fiance!" Vanessa shouted as she readied herself to slap Ariana with her full strength. Cayden caught sight of Vanessa's hand and quickly pulled Ariana back into his protective embrace just as Vanessa swung her hand. The momentum Vanessa had used was too great and she couldn't stop herself. She ended up falling forward, landing face first into the ground.

"Why..." Vanessa whispered as she laid on the ground, curling her hands into fists as she fought back her angry tears. "Cayden let go!" Ariana said as she struggled against his embrace. "No!" He said firmly. "Vanessa, I'm sorry but our engagement... I'm calling it off! I can't be with you." Cayden said loudly as the crowd grasped again. "What?! Why?!" Vanessa shouted as she quickly lifted her gaze from the ground towards Cayden and Ariana. "Why are you choosing someone like her over me?! Do you know who my family is?! Our power, our prestige, our wealth?! She is nothing but some wh*re's bastard child?! She is nothing special!" Vanessa shouted as she slowly lifted herself off of the ground, her face was dyed blood red from her rage.

"Vanessa... You are the one that is nothing." Cayden said making Vanessa instantly pale as she gawked at Cayden. "How can you say that... we've known each other for years... you don't, you don't mean that..." Vanessa desperately said as she tried to reach out to them. "You don't understand how a horrible of a person you are? You look down on everyone because of what? To prove your self worth? Or looking for compliments or self gratification? Do you really believe you are some sort of Queen, able to have everyone's love and adoration when all you do is speak ill of them? Vanessa Brenton, you are the lowest of low, you are trash. You enjoy belittling so many people just so you can inflate your own ego. Someone like you disgusts me." Cayden said as he held Ariana tightly in place against his chest.

"You're joking right? You must be joking! Ha, hahaha you are playing a very cruel joke Cayden. We have been together for so many years! I have loved you for so many years!" Vanessa yelled as tears welled up in her eyes. "You don't know me! I only existed in the Remo household! What you fell in love with is your own fantasy! Your own delusions of grandeur! Name one thing about me, one thing that only someone who knew me on a personal level would know! If you can then I swear I will give our engagement a chance." Cayden said as he narrowed his gaze at Vanessa.

"... Cayden is this really necessary? N-no one knows you better then I do." Vanessa awkwardly laughed as her whole body broke out into a cold sweat. "One thing." Cayden replied coolly. "Y-y-you like to dance!" Vanessa shouted causing the crowd of on lookers to start whispering. "U-u-uh, um, y-y-you l-l-like to put yourself into everything you do until it's perfect! Y-y-you are good at sports and academics. Y-y-you hate intimacy, you rarely smile, you're very stoic and the second son of the Remo household. You have a bright future planned out as the vice president of operations for Remo Industries and conglomerates. You hate sweets, you like everything with lots of butter, salt or gravy! You can't stand people, your aloofness and cold attitude is the most attractive thing about you! You favorite colour is black!" Vanessa ranted at a mile a minute.

Ariana finally freed herself from Cayden's embrace and walked up to Vanessa. Cayden grabbed Ariana's wrist and stared at her. Ariana gave him a gentle smile and he sighed as he let her go. Ariana stood right in front of Vanessa and took a deep breath. "Your wrong." Ariana said gently. "What would you know!" Vanessa snapped. Ariana stood elegantly as she placed one hand over the other and rested her hands over top of her heart. "I have known Cayden since I was four years old, we even lived together for a number of years until the Remo household called him back." Ariana said nonchalantly making Vanessa's jaw slack in disbelief.

"Even with all of that I can not confidentially say that I am the person who knows him best but what I do know is he is neither cold or aloof. He is a warm and sweet person. He helps out anyone in need, regardless of their social standings. He hums when he's happy, he loves puzzles, he loves sweets especially sponge cakes with whipped cream and strawberries. Actually... he really loves food. He is a real glutton when he sees food." Ariana said with a light giggle.

"He is very secretive though, he always worries about the ones closest to him and sometimes comes off as harsh but you can see it in his eyes, the fear and determination and them you know you can't mistake his concern. His eyes are beautiful shade of grey with blue undertones... if he ever feels an extreme emotion then they shine a beautiful silver.... cough... sorry... Um his familiar is an orange jellyfish named Adonis... he's cute and loving but very deadly when provoked, actually they matche each other so well I'm a little surprised." Ariana said as she started to blush.

"He works hard everyday to improve himself because he puts such high expectations on himself not realizing that he's perfect just the way he is. I mean... no one is ever truly perfect. We all have our flaws, it's what makes us human and capable to grow and learn, so it's okay to be flawed. Oh! The best thing about him is how he treasures the little things in life, he doesn't care for the fancy or extravagant, he rather explore and be curious... his child like nature when he sees something new makes him so wonderfully charming you can't help but be captivated..." Ariana said with a charming smile, it made Cayden blush. He quickly covered his mouth to hide his smile and averted his gaze. If he looked at Ariana any longer who would pounce on her without restraint.
