"Brother, what's are we going to do now? She is dead" Bianca asked Bryan about Cynthia's dead body. While Bryan was thinking of ways to clear Cynthia's body without being detected by anyone, Stacy looked scared just like her daughter. Killing someone in the middle of their foyer was a first time for both of them even though Bryan did these kinds of things quiet often in the past. "We have to bury her body before someone finds out about this" Bryan replied, thinking about where and how to bury Cynthia. Bianca is shaking with discomfort. The thought that her twin killed someone so casually is scaring the hell out of her. There is no doubt that both Stacy and Bianca are vicious. Apart from bullying and trash talking about others, they never resorted to physical violence. Killing is a far cry. But Cynthia's death happened on their watch and they are equally responsible for her death as much as Bryan is. And they would never betray Bryan. So they are sticking with him to hide Cynthia's
On the terrace of one of the posh restaurants with the view of the infinity pool, Aria was seen sitting beside Asher with Diego and Dena opposite them. Despite the tension in their lives regarding their mother's, both Diego and Aria looked relaxed. While Diego was feeling hopeful that Susan is finally going to recover soon. And Aria was hoping that she would receive a call from her mother soon. "Thank you so much Mrs. Morrison and Mr. Morrison. You both are a god sent in my life. One helped with my mother, and the other helped with my business when I couldn't make it to an important meeting. A toast for you both" Diego spoke feeling grateful for Aria and Asher. He raised his wine glass to toast both Asher and Aria. Dena raised her glass as well, followed by the Morrisons. "At this point, I think we should ditch the formalities. You can call us by our names. To our budding friendship" Asher toasted. Aria smiled and clinked her glass. They took a sip to seal the new beginning
'Don’t trust Andrew Cunnings. He is a monster. He will kill you. Beware of your surroundings. Stay safe my daughter' Cynthia kept repeating in hopes that Aria might be able to hear her even though she knows that it's highly unlikely. 'Don't trust Andrew Cunnings. Beware of your surroundings' Aria was startled to hear those words. She was alone and no one is near. Its as if the nature of trying to caution her. And strangely, that voice felt very familiar. So familiar that Aria’s heart started beating loudly. Memories of Cynthia flooded into her mind suddenly. That's when Aria realized whose voice that is. "Ms.Cynthia?" Aria whispered with shock. Cynthia's soul smiled sadly when she heard Aria's whispering. 'I am sorry my daughter' she whispered before she disappeared. Cynthia is no where around. And Aria doesn't know where Cynthia is. But the warning felt like Cynthia was trying to caution her about something. Which is impossible and unbelievable. 'I am losing my mind. How ca
'Impossible' Dena thought as the resemblance between Aria, Diego and Andrew was so stark, that it cannot be ignored if one is noticing keenly. And for some odd reason, Dena already noticed how the three of them look like father and off springs. 'Is my imagination running wild? Its impossible for them to look so alike. Is my mind playing tricks because I am stressed?' she wondered. Andrew smirked. "Little girl, you would hurt me? With that??" Andrew mocked Aria. Diego gritted his teeth with anger. He pushed Aria behind him and glared at Andrew. "I was holding back because my mom still seems to like you. But if you don't leave now, I will hurt you myself if Aria's knife didn't" Diego snapped at Andrew angrily. Andrew was not expecting to see this. The siblings united against him, which is frustrating. 'Do they know that they are half siblings?' he wondered. Looking at how protective they both seems to be of each other, it's a possibility. And it would complicate things for A
In the Morrison villa, Asher was seen peeling off his wet shirt from hus body. "I am so sorry. Its all my fault" Aria apologized to him for the tenth time that evening. Asher chuckled and shook his head with mirth. While they were having dinner, Aria accidentally knocked off her water glass while she went to pick it up for a sip of water. The water splashed all over Asher's shirt, drenching him through the fabric. She swore that she was holding the glass properly but she didn't how it slipped. Her glass was changed, but she apologized to him atleast five times while they were in the restaurant and thrice during their car drive. Two times after they reached home. "You look so sad that I am wet. Why don't you apologize to me in some other way?" he said suggestively. Her cheeks tinted pink when she understood what he meant. "Sure" she replied shyly. He smirked with mirth. But once his shirt was off, he started to feel a slight burning sensation all over his torso. "What h
The PD James who works for Asher received the contact information of Aria's mother from Asher. 'Can you find out where she is now?' Asher instructed him. Of course James agreed. First, he got the details of the woman who was using that number from telecom company. It needed some greasing of palms before he could get his hands on the details. 'Cynthia White, Age 43 works in the City rehabilitation center' James got his hands on the basic details. After that, he requested the telecom company to trace the number or the last location where the number was active. And so he found out that the number was last active in the Smith residence before it was turned off. James frowned deeply. 'It didn't turn on after that?' he insisted. 'There is no activity on that number after that' the telecom guy replied. He even provided James with the details of Cynthia's whereabouts in the last two days before her mobile was turned off. 'She went to this town from the City rehabilitation center
"Bianca? Who is at the door?" Stacy called out from the living area. Even though she could hear Aria's voice, yet she is hoping that it should be her illusion. They are scared and on edge after killing someone. So its possible to mistake someone else's voice as the person whom they don't want to see or hear from. But her hopes are dashed away after Bianca's reply. "Mom, its Aria. She is hear to talk about her mom" Bianca called out. All the color drained out of Stacy when she heard that. "What?" her voice came out louder than she intended. Shock was clear in her tone. She was not given time to recover from her shock. Because Aria accompanied by Asher and another man walked to their living room followed by a very anxious Bianca. "Mrs. Smith, we are here to inquire about Aria’s mother. We know that she was here the other day. We couldn't reach her through her phone. We just wanted to ask if you know anything about where she might have gone" Asher asked in a tone that demanded an a
"I will not leave until you tell me where my mother is" Aria yelled by the end of it. Stacy and Bianca were stunned at how confident Aria sounded when she insisted that her mother came to the Smith residence. They both started to panic. Bianca who was already scared is now sweating with fear. 'What if they find out about what happened?' her fear was so intense, that it became hard for her to control it. Asher felt sad looking Aria this way. He could see her pain through her words. Just then, Bryan came back from work as if summoned. He was indeed alerted by his sister who texted him about the situation at home. And Bryan obviously had to come home to deal with this issue before his mother and sister ruined it completely. "Aria, if you think you can make our lives difficult by creating unnecessary drama at my home, then you will be disappointed" Bryan's voice sliced through the tension in the room. Everyone turned to look at him. Stacy and Bianca looked relieved to see him,
"If it was not Andrew who tricked you to come here, then who?" Asher murmured mostly to himself. Diego was thinking about what Andrew was about to tell them before he passed away. "He was telling the truth. He was desperate and didn't had much time. He knows that. He was trying to tell about someone. If he didn't meet my mother in twenty years, then who texted me from her number? What is their connection with Andrew? What would they gain with my death?" Aria asked questions of her own. Diego groaned with frustration. "He left so many unanswered questions behind" he muttered angrily. While the three of them are lost in their frustration, the doctor was looking at them expectantly. He has to handover Andrew's body to his family. But at this point, Andrew has no one who is ready to shed a single tear for him. That thought made the doctor pity Andrew. "Ah, Master Cunnings, if you could please follow me, I need your signatures to finish some minor procedures before handing your f
"Surprised, Father?" Aria inquired. Her tone dripping with resentment and anger towards the man who is her sperm donor. The word 'Father' sounded like a curse when it was used addressing Andrew. He would definitely be one of the worst father's ever. Andrew on the other hand turned pale. His already fragile heart started to thump loudly. He was so hopeful that today finally he will be able to get his heart transplant done. But thats not what happened. Instead, Aria somehow out witted him again. He knows what this means. He knows that he will not get any other chances again. This was the last before his heart gives away. But stubbornly Andrew refused to believe that he would die like this. He is on his death bed, yet still selfish to his core. "Aria, so you found out. Well and good. Saves me the trouble to chase after you. Now go and cooperate with the operation. I need your heart, right now" Andrew demanded. He sounded as delusional as he looked. Diego snorted sarcastically. "Dam
In the Morrison villa, Aria was surprised to get a text from her mother. 'Meet me in the City hospital, alone' the text read. Aria tried calling Cynthia, but the call went unanswered. "Ash" Aria called out for Asher to tell him about the text. She paused halfway on the staircase when she remembered that her mother wanted to meet her alone. Asher on the other hand heard Aria calling for him. When he saw her standing on the staircase with a deep frown, he became worried. "Aria? What happened? Are you alright?" he inquired. His voice pulled her out of her daze and looked at him with a deep frown, contemplating about the text. "My mother wanted to meet me alone in the city hospital" she shared the context of the message she received. Asher's frown turned deep. "When?" he inquired. Aria descended the remaining stairs and showed him the text. When Asher read it, he felt like something is off here. "Did you give her a call to confirm?" he inquired softly, knowing her nature. He
"See, now do you believe me?" Bryan demanded Stacy once he is inside his car, away from anyone who might be listening tp his conversation. Stacy didn't believe him when he shared his plan. She was sure it wouldn't work out, especially when Aria hates Bryan so much. They had to postpone Bianca's travel plans, as it would look suspicious if she leaves at a moment like this. They left her in the Smith’s residence, as they know that she won't be able to handle the stress. "It doesn't matter if I believe you or not. What about them? Did they believed your story?" Stacy inquired. Bryan frowned deeply. He didn't know. They didn't hint about it either. And he didn't linger for longer than nessasary to make them suspect him instead. He said his piece and left to make it look as if he doesn't have any ulterior motives. "I don't know. But still this is better. Now we are not the sole suspects regarding Cynthia's disappearance" Bryan replied while looking at the Morrison villa with a frow
In the Morrison villa, Aria, Asher Diego and Dena were doing their best to find Cynthia. They are inquiring from people who met with Cynthia recently in hopes that they might know anything about where she might be. But everyone gave the same reply that Cynthia was searching for her missing daughter. But no one knows where she is. They sat down on the couch with a heavy sigh. "It doesn't make any sense. Where can she be? She was obviously searching for me. Now that I am trying to meet her, she is missing. I am sacred Ash" Aria confessed feeling worried about Cynthia. Asher rubbed her arm, silently offering her comfort. It is indeed confusing. Cynthia just vanished into thin air, which is impossible. "Only that bastard Bryan would know where she might be. But he is intentionally not disclosing anything" Diego muttered. Aria filled him in about the situation about Cynthia and the involvement of the Smith's. "We need to do something to make Bryan reveal everything he knows" Aria
In the Smith’s residence, Bryan is glaring daggers at Andrew. "I helped you to find your daughter by disclosing her location, yet you come to my home and accuse me of homicide?" he snapped at the older man. Andrew was wheeled inside the Smith's residence by his guard. Bryan was not too pleased to find the old man inside his residence just when he was planning to send his sister back to the states. Bianca's luggage was packed and she agreed to leave rather reluctantly. She was not too Keen to leave the states as she is now interested in her former classmate. But her mother and brother didn't give her much option to stay back. So she agreed to leave. Just when Bianca was about to say her goodbye's to her mother and brother, Andrew showed up demanding an explanation about Cynthia's whereabouts. When Bianca, Bryan and their mother heard this, they were stunned. Untill then, only Aria and Asher were trying to find Cynthia. That was the reason why they had to send Bianca away. Now, to
After Andrew left, Aria felt exhausted emotionally. Her emotions are all over the place. A father she doesn't trust and respect, and a mother who was a shadow while growing up. Everything is exhausting. She is unable to understand where her mother is and why does her father acting so sweetly which is so unlike him. "He definitely has an ulterior motive" Diego muttered angrily. Asher was thinking the same. "What do you think he wants from Aria?" he murmured. Asher heard alot about Andrew. From others and some from Diego. And no one has ever told him that Andrew is sweet or caring. He is selfish, cunning and can go to any lengths for what he wants. So if he came this far to recognize her as his daughter, even though it would make quiet a stir in the society if it was revealed, he still wanted to recognize Aria as his daughter. So that can only mean that he needs something much more than his lost reputation. And Asher is wondering what that might be. "I don't know either. He is
"My daughter had to live in an orphanage because of Susan. If she would have accepted the truth that we are not meant to be, then so many people wouldn't have to suffer. Are you happy? Susan was adamant to stay with me and declare you as my heir. I gave up everything. Still she was not happy. Now I met my daughter after so long, yet you are determined to separate us once again. What have I ever done to you and your mother to deserve such a fate? What has Aria done to deserve everything that she has gone through? Who is the culprit here? You or your mother?" Andrew continued when he noticed Aria's thoughtful expression. Diego was worried that Aria might believe Andrew and misunderstand him. He just got his sister, and he doesn't want to lose her so soon. "Aria, he is lying. Don't believe him" Diego told Aria desperately. His voice begging Aria not to trust Andrew. Andrew was giving Diego a pitiful look. "I am lying? You proved that you are Susan's son. Can't to feel my love for
"Son? You met your sister?" Andrew asked, trying hard not to sneer. Diego glared at Andrew with disdain and distrust. Andrew is the last person whom Diego trusts. To see Andrew coming specifically to visit Aria felt off. Andrew would never do anything without a reason. So Diego's protective instinct to protect Aria was all time high. Aria on the other hand was looking at Andrew with mixed feelings. This is not the first time she met Andrew. But this time, she is meeting him as her father. The thrilled feelings that she thought she might experience is completely absent. She doesn't feel anything while looking at the man. 'How can he cheat Susan with my mom? How many women did he betray? How badly was Susan and my mom got hurt because of him? And how many more women were his victims?' Aria thought sadly. "She is my sister, yes. But stay away from her. I don't know what your game is, but you can leave now. No one here is going to believe your lies here" Diego snapped. "Son? You
