Versions of love (2)

Ariana gritted her teeth; she knew this was going to happen. However, now that she was here, Ariana had no plans to leave without taking Noah. Though she knew that Nicolai was not crazy enough to kill an innocent person, one could never be sure of it when it came to Noah. 

"Tell Nicolai that I am here to bring Noah back," she told the two guards with a stern expression. "If you don't, then I have no idea what I might do." 

"And what makes you think that Mister De Luca would like to see you?" The way the guard spoke made Ariana close her mouth; her expression shifted as she noticed the hint of condescension in the eyes of the man. 

Maybe in the eyes of this man, she was just an ex-wife who was looking for trouble and because of the fact that Noah married Zena, Nicolai wouldn't even bother with her. But that was not the truth; if Nicolai knew that she was here, he wouldn't let this guard embarrass her in such a way.
