"Don't you remember? You did this" he tried to remind her with a sullen face. Nina is stunned. She doesn't remember anything. She looked at her long manicured nails which are painted a unique shade of lilac. "I am so sorry. I didn't mean to scratch you so badly" she completely misunderstood what happened. He blinked at her. She is thinking that she scratched him. It didn't even cross her mind that she might have bit him. "You think you scratched me?" he asked with exaggeration. She blinked at him, confused. "Ofcourse. Did I not scratch you? Did I punch you?" she asked with wide eyes, shocked that she abused him while she was drunk. Theo face palmed himself. "What happened?" she asked him why he looked a little bit frustrated. He sighed and gave her a look. "You didn't punch me Nina. You bit me" he explained slowly. If she was stunned before, now she was speechless. "You mean, I bit you with my teeth?" she gasped. He raised his eyebrows, showing a hint of amusem
While Theo and Nina's relationship is progressing gradually, Chelsea, Silas and Nova are hell bent on separating them. After Theo drove Chelsea away the previous night, she was not pleased. And neither was Nova who was so upset that he lost the Fragrance contract and was eager to have Nina, which would be his biggest victory over Theo. But that failed as well. So now he decided to join hands with Silas and Chelsea to take revenge on Theo and make Nina his. But Nova did not reveal his intentions against Theo. He decides to take Nina away from Theo first, and then go against Theo when he is at his lowest. That fine morning, Nova did not forget what happened the previous evening at his party. He remembered how his family was insulted by Theo, Ella and Nina. "I need the footage from inside the house, especially near my study. Show me that footage" Nova snapped at his incompetent security team. One of them clicked a few buttons on the keyboard and the footage which Nova requested a
After Nina was left with no other choice but to approach Theo with the proposal from Fragrance, she found herself standing in front of the Morrison group. Her heart is pounding with excitement. Her face is heating up by just the memory of what happened that morning. After that kiss which left her wanting for more from him, she all but ran away from the room with shyness. Something in their relationship changed that morning, which was evident to everyone in the Morrison family home. Theo was touching her more than he usually does during breakfast, and he even placed a kiss on her head before leaving for work. Agatha was beaming with happiness, and so was Sara their house keeper. Nina was so red, that she ran away the moment Ella showed up to pick her up. She never thought she would meet him again on the same day for work related issues. She entered inside the huge glass and Chrome building for the second time in her life. When she came the first time, she brought divorce papers with
"You are fired" Theo fired Stella, who angered Nina. Everyone who was present there was stunned. None of them missed his declaration earlier that Nina is his wife, much to Stella's shock. The security personnel are all scared now too. Lucky for them, they didn't manhandle Nina, or they would have lost their jobs too. "Boss, please don't fire me. This was a misunderstanding. Please Boss" Stella begged. Nina gave her a look. The same kind of look which Stella gave her when she arrived. "You are not fit for this job. You lack empathy and you are way too arrogant to sit behind that desk. Not every woman who comes here is trying to seduce the men around. Have some sense" Nina spoke up as a matter of fact. Stella is now feeling miserable and angry. Chelsea used to prefer Stella to pass on information about Theo's whereabouts. And in turn Stella used to receive some compensation. That made Stella feel like she is invisible and arrogant, resulting in her ill attitude. But today she
"What's that?" he inquired with curiosity. Nina looked at the now open folder which held the information about Fragrance and the details about the deal their company is offering Theo for his cooperation with them. "I was sent here to represent 'Fragrance' about a proposal" she shared. He raised one of his eyebrows with interest. "I see" he replied without any hurry to hear about the details. Nina sighed. She knows that it's time to speak about what she came here for. Ella and the others would be waiting to hear from her. They held high hopes about this cooperation, and most importantly, Nina doesn't want to disappoint Ella. "I think I should go and sit there" Nina pointed to the other side of the desk. Work is important, and sadly she has to get up and move away from his lap. But Theo is not ready to let her go. At least not yet. He wanted to hold her for as long as he could. "Why are you insisting to go there? I am very comfortable like this. Are you not?" he inquired with a
"Looks like you are busy. See you at home" she spoke up and stood up from his lap. But Theo stopped her. "It's almost five in the evening. I am sure you will not be going back to Fragrance now. Let's go home together. Just let me answer this call" he proposed. She sighed and agreed. In the meantime, Theo answered the call. "Francis" he greeted the older man. Francis Dankworth on the other end is feeling agitated. "Theodore, I heard the Fragrance team is looking for investors to expand their company" he came straight to the point, without beating around the bush. Theo frowned. He looked at Nina who was typing something on the phone. Definitely sharing the details with Ella. This is not the conversation he wants to have in front of her. But he doesn't want to send her away. And moreover he doesn't want to hide anything from her either, especially about Fragrance. "Is it?" he replied casually, as if he already doesn't know about it. Francis is not a fool. He already knows that
On the other hand, Nova barged inside Nina's cabin that fine evening, only to find it empty. "Mr. Fisher, you are no longer allowed to enter Fragrance" one of the head security personnel tried to kick Nova out, but Nova is not budging. "You, a normal employee would tell me what to do?" Nova glared at the security personnel with anger and pushed him out of his way before making his way into Ella's cabin. Ella was reading Nina's text which said that Theo agreed to their proposal. Ella was so happy, that she was beaming with happiness. Just then, her cabin door was rudely pushed open and Nova stormed inside. "Mr. Fisher, what are you doing here?" she asked him calmly. Nova is not as calm as Ella. He is furious. "How dare you? We signed a contract and I promised to infuse money into your company for its expansion. Then why did you and Nina lie inform of every one in the party and make me look like a lying fool?" he demanded angrily. Ella calmly placed her mobile on her desk befor
"Nina, he said he filed an official complaint. What should we do now?" Ella asked worriedly. Nina is thinking about the same. They covered their faces properly and made sure not to be seen by anyone else. The only thing that can be troublesome for them is the surveillance footage. If anyone detects that it's them, then they might be in trouble. "Don't worry about that. Theo is super smart. I am sure he must have thought about this earlier. I will speak with him tonight. He will know what to do. This Nova is going way out of turn" Nina assured Ella. After that, she left Fragrance. But she doesn't know about the threat waiting for her. In the basement, when she was walking towards her car, someone came from behind her and covered her mouth and nose with Chloroform infused cloth. Nina was not expecting that. She tried to call Theo, but her mobile slipped from her fingers before she was dragged away from there. On the other hand, Theo is waiting for Nina at the Morrison family mansion
"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
