Bab 199: This Award Is For Our Angel

"This award is for our angel, Aryana Jones. Thank you for believing in me."  Vince turned toward Aryana with an adoring look and gave her a meaningful smile. 

When Erik saw the look in Vince's eyes when he thanked his angel and when he glanced at Aryana, he felt both jealous and guilty.  If he hadn't known how much Vince loved Jessa, he would think that he has a 'thing' for Aryana.  But he knew that what Vince felt was just pure adoration and gratitude.

He was still jealous of Vince for he openly showed his adoration and acknowledged Aryana publicly.  He felt that he was a useless husband.  Only very few people knew that Aryana was his wife.  But wasn't he just respecting Aryana's wishes?  She did not want to ride on his coattails and what she wanted the most was to prove especially to his family that she could be successful without Erik's money or his backing her up.  She has proven that today.
