Auctioned to my Brother's Bestfriend 95. Didn't you miss me?
"Come in," I said.My head moved up when the door creaked open.What I saw sent shockwaves through me, leaving my eyes wide with disbelief, my breath caught in my throat, and the ground beneath me feeling as if it had shifted.My heart raced, and my thoughts spun into chaos as Damien, the man who had once haunted my past, stood before me. His piercing green eyes bore into mine, while his demeanor exuded a casual confidence that sent shivers down my spine. It felt as if the walls of the cabin were closing in around me, making it increasingly difficult to breathe.My expressions were those of complete shock while he was standing against the door casually, as if he knew that he would find me here.I am sure he must have done proper research about where I am working and where I am living. He also kept the time of his visit in such a way that Mr. Clayton was not present here so that he could interact with me.I am damn sure about this.But why is he coming into my life again?Didn't what h

"I want the guardianship of my son." I was utterly stunned by his request, and for the first time in years, I was lost for words, unsure of how to respond to the audacity of his demand.That was the reason I wanted to have full custody of my son, but this involved him getting to know about Aiden, which I didn't want.My eyes remained wide, and my body froze in place, but that didn't stop him from continuing."The name of the lady who has taken away my baby is Angelica Smith." I blinked at him in disbelief."And not only this, she didn't even mind telling me about my son." Why would I have told him? So that he could take my son away from me and leave me helpless once again?"What happened, Miss? Why did you stop? File my case." I reacted quickly, slamming the file shut with force. He flinched at my move, whether genuine or just pretending; I couldn't be sure. But I couldn't let him continue."Get out!" I shouted in frustration.The room is soundproof, so the voice is not going out.

"Mommy oats," Aiden pointed out at the oat packets placed on the shelf. My mother always takes oatmeal in the morning so Aiden never forgets it whenever he is with me shopping. "Yeah!" I took two packets of them and placed them on the cart.Aiden giggled in excitement as he enjoyed his ride around the mall in the shopping cart while chirping his nursery rhyme. The best part about my baby is that he has great catching power and he learns things quickly.Today is my holiday. I needed to buy groceries today and Aiden wanted to spend his day with me so I took him with me. He always loves to shop with me, especially in the cart.Aiden's laughter echoed through the supermarket as he made motorbike sounds and imagined himself riding along. He was such a bundle of joy, and it warmed my heart to see him happy.It's these simple moments that meant the world to both of us, and I cherished every one of them.As we moved ahead in the store, my eyes caught sight of a purse, and a thought crossed my

I was struggling with bags, Aiden, and the door when suddenly a helping hand rested over my palm. My eyes moved up to look at the intruder and I was surprised to find Mr. Clayton here. My eyebrows shot up in surprise.What is he doing here?"You?" I asked, my voice reflecting my astonishment."Yeah, I thought you needed some help," he chuckled, glancing down at the bags I was carrying, Aiden's keys and the car."Yeah, but what are you doing here?" I asked him."Well, I came for some shopping. My mother needed a few things. When I came out, I found that my car had ditched me. I was about to hire a cab when I saw you," he explained with a warm smile on his lips, explaining everything to me. "Ohh," I nodded my head in understanding, "that's not a problem. I can give you lift." I chuckled"No, it's fine. I don't want to bother you," he said."Bother? It's completely fine, sir," I replied, a bit surprised by his reluctance."Uppss," he scrunched up his nose. "I can't take a ride from you

"So, what would you like to have first? Ice cream or ride?" Richard asked Aiden.Aiden rubbed his chin playfully, as if thinking about both offers, before jumping in his arm happily."Ice cream," he giggled."Sure" Richard chuckled and we made our way towards the ice cream stall."One butterscotch and two vanilla, please." Richard orderedHe knows our preferences really well. Because of Aiden, we have hung out a few times and let him know what we like. Earlier, I was amazed that he always remembered our likes and dislikes but now it has become normal.As I reached for my purse to pay for the ice cream, Richard stopped me in my tracks, a look of surprise on his face."What are you doing?" he asked, his eyebrows raised in astonishment.My eyebrows knitted in confusion"Aiden was angry with me and it was me who brought you here to pay the penalty for ignoring Aiden for so many days so it is me who is going to pay for it," he argued."It's fine. It is the same thing." I tried to reason.

"Today, I will pick up Aiden," I informed Philip."Why?" he asked, puzzled by the sudden change in our routine."Because it's my day off today," I explained.Richard has opened a new branch, expanding his firm. So tonight he is throwing a party for that. He gave leave to his current employees for today. "You could accompany me," Philip suggested."Uh, please, Philip, just go out with Mia," I insisted.Philip had evening shifts at his office, making it convenient for him to pick up Aiden, whereas Mia had morning shifts. Due to their work schedules, they rarely had the opportunity to spend quality time together. Today, Mia had also taken a day off, and I wanted them to enjoy some quality time away from the stresses of work and family.It would be wrong from my side if I waste his time when I myself could pick up Aiden. "You are not going alone to pick Aiden" he declaredFrom the last one month, since I have encountered Damien again on the streets, Philip is picking him up. He is doin

"Aiden" I called out softly when my baby didn't react even after knowing that I had sat into the car. My hand softly caressed his head. "Yes?" He replied but his voice came out very low which is quite opposite to his real self. "I didn't mean to hurt you. In anger, I went a bit harsh on you. Momma is sorry, Aiden." I was expecting him to look up and react, either complain to me about myself or cry but nothing like that happened. "It's ok momma, don't be sorry" he replied, still looking down.Today I have hurt him really badly. He is not ready to even look up at me. My heart clenched and I regretted treating him that way. I should have told him with love but the anger and frustration of Damien leashed out on him. "I have something for you," I said in a soft voice. His head finally lifted up. I took out the chocolate which I bought for him last night while returning home. Last night he already had a lot of sweets so I decided to give it to him today but in the morning I forgot. I

After his afternoon nap, Aiden's first request was for the chocolate I had given him in the car earlier. While he wasn't as silent as he had been earlier in the day, he still lacked his usual vigor.Determined to make up for the earlier turmoil, I stayed with him throughout the day, assisting with his homework and playing his favorite games. I could see a faint return of the spark in his eyes, but his previous words still lingered in my mind.As the evening rolled around, Aiden seemed to be gradually forgetting the events of the car ride home, but I knew this topic was far from resolved.I agree with my mother that it is not the last time he has asked for a father; he would surely ask for him again, and every time he would try to know more about it. If Damien kept on coming in front of him again and again, then it wouldn't be too late for him to identify him as his father.By 9 PM, I had managed to put Aiden to sleep. I was already running late for a party that was supposed to begin at

One year later Third Person's POV Aiden was telling the story of his day to his father while returning home from school. Damien was listening to his story intently when he saw something and abruptly applied the break. "What happened, Daddy?" Aiden asked curiously Damien looked at the flower shop at the side of the street and Aiden understood it. He giggled, his tiny eyes sparkling with excitement, as Damien came out of the car and helped Aiden out. Damien held the finger of his little son, whom he knew was super excited and could hurt himself if not kept an eye on. Aiden jumped in his way as they reached the flower shop. "How may I help you, sir?" the girl selling flowers asked Damien. Damien and Aiden shared a look before both of them said it at the same time. "A bouquet of lavender" The girl's eyes moved at both of them one by one as she chuckled at the bond of father and son. Angel used to think that Aiden was a junior version of Damien but as they started livin

After dance, dinner, and cake cutting, Damien brought me and Aiden to his house.Aiden was half asleep by the time we reached here because he danced like crazy, gaining the attention of everyone. He is surely going to have more pictures than us.Daisy took on the responsibility of keeping him to herself for the night. Looking at the cuteness and innocence of our baby, everyone thinks that he is easy to handle but in reality, the case is just the opposite."Momma," I heard Aiden's voice, which stopped me in my tracks.As I turned around to look at him, I found him rubbing his eyes with one hand while the other one was reaching out for me, his tiny fist opening and closing in rhythm, asking me to take him in my arms.I knew that he would wake up and then he would surely ask for me. At the moment, if I don't take him and put him to sleep, he will cry so badly that it will become impossible for even me to calm him down.Daisy patted his back, trying to put him to sleep again but I knew th
Auctioned to my Brother's Bestfriend 120. Forgiveness and New beginning
All of us came back to the venue and Damien didn't leave my hand, even for a second.It felt like he was afraid that I would run away from him but now that I have accepted him, I have done that with an open and clean heart. I have decided not to think about that bitter past and to start a new life with him on a happy note.As we entered the venue, we met with the most unexpected guest. Damien looked down at me, asking if I had any clue about them but I was equally clueless. I am sure Philip and Richard must have arranged it.Suddenly, Damien was hugged tightly. It was his mother. She hugged him tightly."I missed you," she mumbled.Damien hugged him back. She pulled away and engulfed me in her arms as well. I felt her warmth and love through that hug.Daisy was standing at a hand distance from us, looking at her brother with small tears in her eyes. Two months ago, I came to know that Damien has cut all the ties with his sister and they haven't met in the last four years.I could see

Philip and Richard stepped towards us as we moved away and stood side by side.Unable to meet my gaze with Richard's, my eyes moved down on their own.For the first time, I couldn't understand what's going on in Philip's head from his body language. I know he would not be happy with this decision of mine.Damien was still having eye contact with them, ready to face whatever they had to say, while my eyes were still low. My heart was beating fast in my chest and my body was frozen in the arms of Damien.I was stuck in the situation of choosing my family's will over my love, and this time I decided to go with my heart, because if I had gone with the first, it would have ruined three lives.Suddenly, Damien moved his arm away from my waist. My eyes snapped up in surprise as I thought that Philip must have pulled Damien away but I was completely surprised when both of them hugged.What? Philip is hugging Damien. From what I felt, it was Damien who hugged him first because his hands were

"Damien," I called out while turning around but there was no response.How could he disappear in a blink of an eye?Was it just a dream?No! The familiar sensation on my forehead, at the place where he kissed me, was still there. I am sure he was here."Damien!" I called out again.When no response came and I was sure that he was not in the room, I ran to the window and looked down to find a man walking towards the exit with his head hanging low.It was Damien"DAMIEN!" I called out with all the energy inside me.He turned around. His eyes were brimming with tears, and his lips curled into a small smile. He waved his hand to me and walked away."Damien!" I again called out my hand, reaching out for him but he was gone.I blinked and focused but he was already out of my sight. I turned around and ran to the door. At the same time, Philip came inside."Angel," his eyebrows drew in confusion as he looked down at me. "What happened?" "Damien," I cried "What happened?" His eyebrows drew

As I entered the house, I found it dark and silent.Where is everyone?Aiden was waiting for me at home. I bought him chocolates as well. Where is he? Where is Mom?I flinched at my place and my soul almost left my body when a party popper burst near my ear. Suddenly, the room was filled with lights and when I moved around my eyes, I found all my family members surrounding me. They were waiting for me to give me a surprise but I am not sure what it is because there is still time for my birthday."Congratulations!!!!" Mia came to me excitedly and hugged me tightly.My hands hesitantly wrapped around him. But why is she congratulating me?"Congratulations, Angel," Mumma and Philip squealed at the same time."Congchachulason, momma," Aiden said in his baby voice.My squinted eyebrows and confused eyes moved at each one of them. I know I was expected to say thank you but I was utterly confused."We are so happy that you said yes for the wedding," Mia said.Ohh! Now it settled in. But how
Auctioned to my Brother's Bestfriend 116. The decision
Richard was completely shocked to know about my past. He was left speechless when I told him everything about my first meeting with Damien, Philip's fake death rumor, my auction, Damien's treatment, the truth and me leaving him at the end. He just listened to me intently without questioning anything but he was all ears to me. I felt relieved to tell him all this because it was like a burden on my heart especially when he was thinking about his life with me. Along with a mentor, he is my good friend as well and I could share things with him without the fear of getting judged. "Since then I have shut the doors to my heart, not allowing anyone to make its way inside." A long silence followed my words. He seems lost in my story, his mind replaying things I said. "Do you still love Damien?" He asked finally breaking his silence. He was silent while I was telling him the whole story of my life but his one question was enough to make me go silent. Drawing a deep breath, I gulped down.

As I stepped out of the car my phone started ringing. When I took it out of the clutch, I found that the call was from mother. I am sure Aiden must be calling me. Today is Sunday, and I had some work, Aiden wanted to come along with me but I brought him with me because I needed to talk to Richard. This is why I am here! I have called him in a cafe to have a conversation and I know no matter how much Aiden is involved with his own things, he keeps an eye and ear on me. He always hears what his mommy has to say whether it is meant for him or not and he understands it or not. And then I have plenty of questions waiting for me before going to bed. "Hello" "Hello momma" came his chirpy voice from the other side of the call "Aiden misses you" I am sure he is pouting. "Come back soon" As during the weekdays, I stay busy with courts and cases, he gets only one day with me and he doesn't want to stay even a second away that day. I am sure he must be cutting the time by looking at the c

It's been two weeks since that incident and I am still not over it. I still have the guilt that, because of me, my baby suffered. Aiden has now fully recovered, and he has also started going to school. The doctor asked me not to give him too much stress so I applied for one week of medical leave for him. He was happy about missing school and enjoyed the leaves as if they were holidays.Today I took a day off because I wasn't feeling well. I wanted to pick up Aiden today but Philip wouldn't let me go. He asked me to take a rest, and this is why I took the leave.I was going through my phone while waiting for my baby when the door opened. As usual, I expected him to barge inside the home and shout, telling each and every corner of the house that he had returned from school but instead, he came inside silent with his lips tightly pressed together. His eyes were low and the energy in him was missing.My eyebrows drew in confusion as my eyes flicked up at Philip, asking what was wrong with
