Chapter 103: Why did you do it?

Chase squinted. He glanced after Arianna as she took the spiral stairs and went upstairs. He glanced back at Jace and the latter shrugged. Jace ensured Arianna changed from her dress, took a bath and wore her night dress. Still Arianna didn't say a word. She was mute and climbed into the bed. They hadn't eaten dinner. Jace went downstairs and got them dinner from the kitchen but Arianna just hugged her knees and stayed under the quilt. Despite tucking, Arianna wouldn't respond until the dinner got cold. "Even if I'm asleep, don't hesitate to wake me if you want to eat, okay?" Jace Hudson said and took the dinner back to the kitchen. "What happened to Aria?" Chase asked. Eli's nanny had taken him to his room for the night. Chase wouldn't go but remained in the sitting room, worried about Arianna. "She discovered that Senator Adrian Delmark is her father," Jace replied, sinking into the sofa and sighed. "What?" Chase Hudson exclaimed. Arianna is the Senator's daughter? How come?
