"That's a price I'm willing to pay, but the question here is, will you allow me to?"
"And if I said no?" She asked and Arvan remained silent.
"You'll end up hurt if you keep down this road." She said, warning him from past experience. Whether he took her warning or not, his answer was one of his usual gentle smile. "You're a good person, Arvan. You'll make some lucky girl a wonderful husband someday." "I hope that someone can be you."
"Arvan-"
"Please," He cut her off, "Think about it, that's all I ask."
Leonica's gaze softened and she nodded her head, agreeing to his request. "Okay." She said.
Arvan smiled, his shoulders relaxing as he picked his glass back up and took another sip, the tension leaving his body.

The next couple of minutes passed by in comfortable conversation and sipping on the wine they had. By the time there conversation had come to a conclusion, it was getting dark outside.
Leonica stood up. "I think I should leave now, else Ashley would have my head when I get back."
Arvan nodded his head, standing up as well. "Allow me to escort you out." He offered, gesturing towards the door.
She nodded and began walking towards the door of his office, but they had only stepped outside when Arvan's phone rang and he quickly excuses himself.
"I think I can see myself out from here." Leonica politely said and waved him goodbye, navigating the way back into the main hall, when suddenly, the figure of a lady seating in the same chair she had sat, caught her attention.
Her steps slowed down when she spotted her white hair, the same as hers, but when the lady turned to face her, her steps completely seized.
"You..." She uttered in confusion, looking at the woman who had a keen resemblance to her.
Hair, facial structure, eye color and all, one would nearly have mistaken them for twins, but the difference was clear. The lady sitting on the sofa had a youthful appearance, one of someone in her early twenties, while Leonica, was twenty-nine. She stood up upon seeing Leonica and a sneer appeared on her face. "Who are you?" She asked, looking Leonica from top to bottom like she was some sort of parasite.
Leonica frowned, taken aback by the look. "I was about to ask you the same."
The lady narrowed her brows, the frown on her face deepening. "Some gals you've got." She said and stepped forward. "Asking me a question like that in my own house." ""Your house?"
"Yes," She said, stopping a couple of feet from Leonica. "My house. Since you won't do the introduction, I will. My names Irene Richardson Rosewood. Arvan Richardson's rightful wife."
The moment those words left her mouth, the blood drained from Leonica's face, her eyes widened and her jaw slackened. "His, what?"
