The same day in the evening, Nova found himself in hot water with his family. His mother is crying while his father and grandfather are fuming through their noses. "This fool went and made a mess out there. Now look at the news. Every news channel is telecasting the same news. They are criticising him and the entire Fisher family for being unethical. Listen to what they are saying. They are holding a debate about how vile and disgusting Nova is and how the Fisher gave birth to a scum like him. Who would go after a married woman? Even if he had his eyes on her, he should do everything discreetly. But if he is going for the Mistress of the Morrison family, he should never ever even look at her in the wrong way. But this piece of trash not only has his eyes on Mr. Morrison's wife, he even announced it in front of the media" Grandpa Fisher snapped with so much anger, that he is breathing heavily at the end. Even Michael Fisher is not pleased with the negative publicity the Fisher famil
After everything that happened with Ella, Nina couldn't bring herself to leave Ella alone in her apartment. So she decided to stay back to make sure that her friend is fine. "Nina, i am not a baby. I am a couple of years older than you. There is no need for you to baby sit me here. You can go home. Mr. Morrison would be waiting for you" Ella tried to send Nina home. But being the good friend that she is, Nina refused to leave Ella alone. At least not at that time though. "Theo will understand that you need me now. You don't worry about us" Nina assured Ella. After coming back from Heather's house, both the ladies slumped down on the couch in Ella's apartment. Ella is not being herself. Nina can see that Ella is trying to pretend that she is tough, but she is hurting inside. Ella smiled. If Nina could call it the stretching of Ella's lips a smile, then it's a smile. "I know it's not easy for you to come to terms with everything that you found out today. I can understand how pain
"Theo? Theo?" Nina's anxious voice rang from the car speaker. She heard that sound, which made her spine freeze with fear. The sound of metal screeching followed by a loud banging sound. "Theo? Theo? What is happening there? Theo?" Nina's voice became louder and she is very anxious. Fear is evident in her voice. On the other hand Theo is not responding at all. "Theo?" her voice rose more than ten octaves and she is on the verge of crying now. Ella, who came back from her room heard Nina's anxious voice. Nina sounded as if she was on the verge of crying. "Nina? What happened?" Ella rushed towards Nina with concern. "Theo, please speak something. Theo" Nina is out right crying now. "Nina? What happened?" Ella asked again. But Nina couldn't reply. She collapsed on the floor while cluthing her mobile tightly to her chest as if she is trying to hold Theo. "Nina?" Ella is shocked, unable to understand what happened within the span of ten minutes. Nina was fine when Ella went t
Nina found herself running wildly towards her destination weaving from in between the vehicles. She stumbled and fell so many times, but she didn't care. All she wanted to do was go to Theo. She fell and lost one of her footwear, but she didn't seem to realise it. She ran like that wearing one footwear while tears were streaming down her cheeks. Her eyes are blurry because of the tears. No matter how many times she wiped at her tears, they seemed to fall anew as if her heart couldn't stop crying for the man who is her first and only love. The thick smoke in the air acted as her navigator. She is praying to whoever is listening to her that Theo should be safe and what she heard in that radio should turn out to be a misunderstanding. But when she weaved her way to the front of the people who were surrounding the accident sight, her heart dropped into her stomach when she saw how Theo's car was burning up in flames. "No, no, no.. Theo" she ran past the no entry tape which was used t
Two weeks after Theo's accident, Neel rushed to the Morrison family mansion with anxiety. "Mrs. Morrison, Mrs. Morrison" he called out for Nina in a hurried manner. Ella was temporarily living with Nina and Agatha to take care of them. While Agatha refuses to leave her room and speak with anyone, Nina is a mess. Both of them are sure that Theo would come back soon. Ella was worried about what would happen if their hope was shattered one day. "Neel? What happened? You look worried" Ella inquired Neel who was sweating profusely and looked anxious. Neel is tensed. In these two weeks, he was taking care of the issues in the company. It is clear that Agatha is in no state to go back and take over the Morrison group, and Nina doesn't have experience to deal with anything in the company. The shareholders of the Morrison group took this opportunity to decide to select a new CEO for the Morrison group. "All the major shareholders are holding a meeting in the Morrison group. They are pla
Four weeks after Theo's accident, Nina learned everything about the ongoing projects in the Morrison group. What's more, she developed different incense for the Morrison group along with Fragrance. The perfumes which were released into the market using Nina's formulas became a huge hit over night. Profits started to pour into the company. Most importantly, a perfume which she created and named as 'longing for love' hit a different note with the customers. It was a souring success. All the shelves became empty the moment this particular perfume was restocked. That perfume alone earned them millions. Especially when people are emphasizing Nina for losing her love. So the musky and long lasting fragrance of 'Longing for love' is a super hit. Nina is almost living in her office, working for twenty hours a day and barely eating and sleeping. She lost a lot of weight and she barely smiles these days. She became a shell of her former self. She successfully handled the other projects of
In the Morrison group, Nina is busy with her work when Neel rushed inside her cabin with an anxious look on his face. "Mrs. Morrison" his voice came out in a rush and he is out of breath. Nina looked at him without much emotion on her face. After Theo's accident, everything around her is looking in a black and white patch. Nothing is fazing her much. Her heart is still longing for her love, her husband. "Drink some water and tell me what happened" she instructed him camly. Neel did as he was told. "Miss Dankworth is here. She is causing a ruckus in the front lobby" he revealed. Nina is not new to such antics from Chelsea. So she was still calm. "Why is she stirring a trouble this time?" Nina inquired. Neel looked uncomfortable for a moment before he decided to explain. "Boss instructed the security guards to not allow Ms. Dankworth inside the company without an appointment. When she was stopped downstairs, she started to throw a tantrum claiming that she is pregnan
"What the hell is wrong with you? I am stating a fact. Theo is dead and he is not coming back. You acting like a crazy bi*ch wouldn't change that" Chelsea snapped at Nina. Nina couldn't take how Chelsea is casually declaring that Theo is dead. She is so furious, that she grabbed Chelsea by her hair and yanked her head back so that Chelsea is now looking at the ceiling. "How dare you? How dare you show up here and speak ill about my husband again and again? My Theo is alive and he WILL come back. No one can change that. Not even a foul mouth sticky bi*ch like you" Nina fumed and pushed Chelsea away with so much force, that Chelsea stumbled and fell down on the floor. "Ahh, this woman is crazy. She is going to kill me and my baby. Someone please save me" Chelsea started to cry out for help. But no one dared to move a muscle and stand up for Chelsea. Nina leaned down and grabbed her hair once again and pulled hard. "Oh? You came here to tarnish Theo's name claiming that he cheate
"She fed you lies. You don't know what kind of a woman she is" Stacy insisted. Asher glared at her coldly, while Aria was stiffly standing in his arms. Just their mere presence is evoking fear inside her. If there was ever a time in her life when she found herself helpless and scared out of her mind, then that would be with the Smith family. Nancy was better when compared to these people. She used to make Aria work, and that is that. If the work was done, then Nancy never used to bother Aria. But the other members of the family are not the same. "Enough, don't forget that you are talking to a Morrison. And you are insulting the mistress of the Morrison family. If you value your life and status in Neopolis, I suggest you to keep your tongue in check. One more word against her, then you will dissappear without a trace" he threatened Stacy, who immediately turned pale. Even Bianca looked scared. Even though they envy Aria's good fortune, they cannot afford to offend a Morrison. "I
"Who is your sugar daddy?" Stacy sneered. Aria is breathing heavily, looking wildly around her. She is expecting Bryan to pop in at any second and demand that she go home with him. She is barely listening to their taunts by this time. Asher forgot his mobile in his car, so he went to fetch it after confirming that she would be fine on her own. But little did Aria expect that she would have to face the people from her past one after another. "You ditch, how dare you? Can't you hear that we are asking you something?" Bianca became extremely angry when Aria immediately did not reply. Just then, all the patrons of the mall suddenly rushed to the glass railing of the mall from all the sides, waiting for something which they would know would happen then. Aria was left alone as Stacy and Bianca rushed to see what it was. Aria turned to run, but a loud announcement in the microphone stopped her dead in his tracks. "Today, we are excited to announce that a very special poster from th
"Bryan Smith? I know there was a Smith family in that town. And only an elder lady used to live with an adopted young girl. I remember this particular family because the details you have given me matched perfectly with this particular family. But only one important detail didn't" the PD, James explained. He is the PD whom Asher hired to investigate a man named Bryan whom Aria once mentioned to Asher. Her details were vague and she didn't give him much except for that name. She was a bit tipsy after one of their Friday ladies night out. That night, she witnessed someone abusing a woman and that triggered a section of her past. She mumbled something that shocked Asher to his core. He tried to pry more information from her, but she didn't give him much. The next morning he tried to ask her about Bryan, but she brushed it off as if it's nothing. But Asher remembered her reaction from the other night, so he knows that it's not nothing. But he didn't pry. He hired a PD and gave him as mu
'Don't you trust me Aria?' When Asher asked that question in a tone filled with pain, Aria felt extremely sad and guilty for making him feel that way. It's not like she doesn't trust him. "How can I not trust you, Asher? You are the person whom I trust more than anyone else" she shared softly. He looked at her with surprise. He was under the impression that she might not trust him enough to share her problems with him. But her confession made him confused. "If you trust me, then why hide everything from me? What happened the day before yesterday? What triggered your emotional breakdown? What happened back there? What made you think that leaving me would make everything better?" he inquired softly. He never wanted to intrude into her personal life and make her feel uncomfortable. But things changed between them now. He is protective of her like always. He wanted to be there for her. Aria looked at him feeling like an imposter. To Asher, she was always a confident and inde
"No" Bruce refused to believe that Aria, his Aria is already someone's wife. He refused to believe the possibility. He has been searching for her for years now, but to no avail. After so many years, he refused to accept that she turned out to be Asher Morrison's wife. "Are you absolutely sure that the woman who was with Asher Morrison is Aria? I have seen his assistant and the woman who was said to be his wife. She doesn't look like Aria at all. They look completely different. You might have been mistaken" Bruce recollected Natalie and then seeing Aria's back in that party. There is no way the scared and clumsy Aria he was searching for is the hot and confident woman he saw that day. Lance was still following after Asher and Aria. The former is seen behind the wheel while Aria was seen sitting beside him in a daze. "I might not be the who lived with her under the same roof, but I have seen her while growing up. She is the same Aria, but different. The woman beside Asher is mor
"Ash, I was so scared" Aria whispered while hugging Asher tightly. The fear, unbearable pain, the feeling of being lost and lonely, and the desperation and guilt that followed as soon as she saw that dead body when she mistaken that for Asher's was too much to bear. She realised that it's not as easy as she thought it would be to leave Asher. It would be like losing herself along with him. She might not be able to survive a day without him. The image of Bryan sent chills down her spine. But her fear over Bryan felt like it was nothing in front of the feeling of losing Asher. She lived under the same roof with both the men. One of the scares the hell out of her, and she cannot live without the other. She realised that leaving Asher means losing her life. "I am fine. Don't worry" he rubbed her back, soothing her fears. This close, he could feel her heart still pounding loudly. She just confessed that she loves him too, and he still remembers the way she looked at him that morning.
Aria found herself sitting anxiously behind her desk. It's been more than a few hours since Asher went out on some work. This is the first time she didn't ask him where he was going and the first time since he left without informing where he was going. It's after eight in the evening, and Aria couldn't stop worrying about Asher. She refused to go home without him. Almost everyone left for the day, but she stayed back waiting for Asher. 'What is taking him so long?' she wondered for the nth time. Her finger kept hovering over his number, but retreated again reluctantly. She cares for him, but she doesn't want to show him that she cares. The only way to force him to let her go is pretending not to care. But who would tell her anxious heart to calm down and he will return soon. Just as she was putting her phone away, her mobile rang. She looked at the caller ID and noticed that it is Abel Anderson. "Mr. Anderson" she answered the phone quickly. After Abel's visit after their s
After their argument that morning, things remained tense between Aria and Asher. She didn't speak to him at all, and he is upset with her to talk about anything. He wanted her to tell him what happened and why she was so scared. But she is not trusting him enough to share anything with him, which made him feel upset. After yesterday's event, their photo shoot was posted to that day. And Abel wanted to finish the photo shoot first thing in the morning. As Aria couldn't do anything about the contract and she couldn't think about a way to leave Asher, she followed him to work. But she looked distracted at best. Today she is wearing a red dress. It has drop sleeves that are full with sheer lace fabric, leaving her shoulders and collar bone bare. This dress has lace detailing near the bodice. It hugged her frame till her waist before flaring down and reaching above her knees. Pairing it with red shimmer heels, she looked gorgeous. Her hair is pulled up into a high ponytail, showing off
"I Fu*king Love you" Those words made Aria freeze. Never in her life did she imagine that he would love her and even confess it like this. She hoped that he might one day start liking her more than a friend, and wished how wonderful it would be to be on the receiving end of his love. But to be able to hear those beautiful words come from his mouth like this felt like a dream. She almost turned to tell him that she loves him too. More than he could ever imagine. But Bryan's face that flashed in her mind made her freeze. 'You are mine' his Psychotic words made her fear about Asher's safety more than ever. 'No, i cannot let Bryan find out about this. I cannot let him hurt Ash. I cannot' she thought as fear forced her to stick to her plan. "Ash, you are being emotional. Let's think about this camly. I should go" she insisted. Asher gritted his teeth. She is not making any sense. This is not the Aria he knows. And the woman standing in front of him felt like a stranger. She is
