"I swear, I will kill your receptionist one day!" He snapped at no one particular while entering the room with a bang.
It was after a few seconds, he realised there was someone else present in the room too. And that someone is no one other than Hayden. His mood worsened after seeing him here.
Whereas a faint smirk appeared on Hayden's face, hearing Aaron.
"I… I will wait at the cafeteria while you finish." Aaron said and turned around to leave but Athaliah stopped him.
"Aaron! One minute..! He was just leaving." Athaliah said.
Hayden fisted his hands to calm his raging nerves because instead of pacifying him, she gave priority to Aaron. He walked toward the door without uttering any more words.
"Hayden? Wait!" Athaliah said.
He stopped to listen to her but didn't turn around. Aaron was also interested to kn

Midnight, The next day
"Are you ready?" Sean asked after setting up the TV. "We are but what I don't understand is why are we watching the CCTV footage of the accident when we already know it wasn't an accident? Now what we have to do is find the owner of the bike and catch him." Athaliah said in confusion. "Athaliah, there must be something which will lead us to something else toward the case that we should watch. Otherwise Sean wouldn't have asked us to watch it, right?" Aaron explained while putting his hand over her assuringly. They both were sitting beside each other on the couch in Athaliah's office. Athaliah gave a small look at his hand over her and slowly moved her hand away while giving him a small hesitating smile. Aaron looked at her with a frown. Her this kind of behaviour had been disturbing him from the past week. "Of course you would know everything. After all you watched it before witho
"Where is Aaron? Why didn't he reach yet?" Olivia asked Luke in an arrogant tone as if she was the boss of the office. She became really demanding after last time when Aaron visited her personally to say sorry and offered her the opportunity of this photoshoot. She started to dream things which are possible in dreams only. If only she knew.. Luke closed his eyes and asked for patience to deal with this arrogant woman. She was giving him and all the set members a really hard time with her demands. He opened his eyes after a few seconds and looked at her with a strained and fake smile. "He is on the way, Miss Lockhart. He is having an important meeting with his wife. I guess that's what is delaying him. I am sure he will be here soon." He said it as professionally as he could but a smirk automatically made its place on his lips when he saw her fume at mention of Athaliah. 
"Welcome, Aaron." Olivia said over warmly while giving Aaron a hug. She also gave his cheek a small peck too in front of Athaliah. Athaliah looked at the scene in front of her with widened eyes and soon it turned into a glare. She was almost killing Olivia and Aaron with her glare. Feeling her glare, Aaron quickly pulled away from the hug and gave Athaliah a nervous smile. "You are dead, Aaron." He muttered under his breath. "Oh, hi. Athaliah, I didn't know you were coming." Olivia said with a fake polite smile and forwarded her hand for a handshake. Athaliah took her hand in her and gave it a small shook. "Isn't it normal for a wife to come with her husband to the parties where he was invited?" She asked with a smirk which shut her up immediately. Aaron smirked at Athaliah. He definitely liked it when Athaliah claime
"You are what?" Aaron and Athaliah loudly exclaimed at the same time again. "We are cousins!" Olivia answered this time while Hayden was busy gawking Athaliah which obviously didn't go unnoticed by Aaron. Aaron looked at him with a frown. Didn't Hayden just praised them by saying he and Athaliah makes the best couple then what is he trying to prove now by eyeing his wife? Aaron thought. Though the urge of poking Hayden's eyeballs out of its socket is really high at this moment to Aaron for looking at his wife like this. As if Hayden sensed his wish and took his eyes of her and looked at him. He gave him a small smile and looked back at Athaliah with the same smile. Then he turned back to Olivia. "How the hell I don't about you knowing Aaron, Olivia?" He asked. "I could ask you the same, Hayden! I didn't know that Athaliah was your childhood best friend and l
"Ari, baby! Don't cry, please!" Robin said with fake sadness. "Don't you dare to touch me!" Ariana snapped at him. "I might hate Athaliah or may dislike her but I don't like you too. I will never forget what you did with me. So stay away from me." Ariana said while wiping her fake tears. Robin immediately backed off after getting a signal from Olivia. "It's okay, Ari. Calm down. He will not touch you." Olivia said. "But tell me one thing." She said while looking at Ariana with a small frown. "What?" Ariana asked. "How sure are you about your hate toward Athaliah? Because just some time ago you said you don't hate her." Olivia asked to be sure because just a moment ago Ariana was supporting Athaliah and now she suddenly hates her is a little suspicious. "I don't hate her, Olivia. I am saying the same thing again. What
"I would say Luke did everything and the reason you don't know about this is because you already had a lot on your plate at that time. Athaliah's condition was worsening. She was closed to her due date, then you started to get those photos. Let's get there slowly." Ariana said. "Luke was there with me in every pub I went and got drunk. He went there to help me. I was almost reaching my breaking point. Psychiatrist, drinks, nothing was helping me. But I had started to open up to him slowly." She stopped again to give Luke a brief look. Athaliah was playing the silent observer's role here. She was busy observing the sincerity and the guilt in Ariana's tone. She also was noticing the looks Ariana and Luke were sharing. "One day, he suddenly called me and asked me to meet in a hotel room. I was pretty confused on why he would call me there. But of course I won't find out without going there so I got up, got ready, took my car keys, dro
"Are you done with your works for the day?" Aaron asked Athaliah over the phone. "Yes. I just came out of my cabin. Will be entering the elevator soon. Why?" Athaliah asked while checking the file of her latest deal. It was a really important deal for her company. She had been working really hard on these. "I am waiting outside your office to pick you up. Today we will go home together. Like past times."Aaron said while leaning over the door of the car looking at the sky. Athaliah almost stopped at her track hearing the word past times. They both always used to return home together from office and leave for office from home together too. No matter how much work the other person got. No matter how late it became from the other person. Instead they used to help each other with the work. "What happened, Mr Knight? You seem to be in a good mood today? What's the matter?" Athalia
4 YEARS LATERAthaliah was in the Kitchen busy making the evening snacks for the kids. It was a nice evening. Her whole family have come to visit her. Including Aiden and Elena and their children. When all the kids met together, they started shouting at once that they wanted food cooked by her only. Everyone got their different demands. They have a leader though.Ryan, Rhea, Luke and Ariana's three years old daughter Natasha and two years old son Max. Aiden and Elena's three years old twin baby girl Sarah and Serena and one year old baby boy Kayden. Even Max and Kayden started to clap their hands to support their older siblings.And Athaliah has a big baby too. Adrian! The leader of the group. Who is not leaving any effort to spoil the kids."Need any help there, angel?" Adrian asked, entering the kitchen while biting on an apple."Yeah, I do. Bring me a partner as your w
"Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear, Ryan and Rhea! Happy birthday to you!" Everyone sang the birthday song to the birthday boy and girl.They both were in cloud nine. They had been pampered like princes and princesses since morning. They were so happy. They happily cut the cake with the help of their parents.They were really excited about blowing the candles off and eating the cake. Everyone laughed at their excitement.Rhea was in her uncle Aiden's arm eating the chocolates that he bought for her.. Ryan was busy with his uncle Adi who gave him a brand new video game which he loved the most.Everyone was happy. The situation had calmed down a little and it was a relief for everyone. Athaliah had kept her words of ending everything before Ryan and Rhea's birthday and she was quite proud of it.But there is a problem. Aaron is no
"What's the hurry in marrying my wife, Hayden?"They heard Aaron. Athaliah and Robin looked at the source of his voice and found him standing at the entrance of the hill point with his hands inside his pockets. He stood there with a snug look on his face and smirked at Hayden.There wasn't anyone behind him. Luke and Sean were going to come through the jungle to tackle those two guards. They have already informed the police about this on their way here but requested them to keep their eyes on the scene from far, intervene only when it's necessary."Aaron? What are you doing here?" He asked in shock."What do you mean by what I am doing here? Here, you, my friend is planning to marry my wife and didn't even invite me?! How fair is that? So I invited myself on your behalf." He said with a wicked smirk, while walking toward Athaliah."Hey, wifey? I see you really weren't mar
"What have you done, Hayden? You threw your own phone?" She exclaimed. "Yes, I did. Because I don't want anyone to disturb us. So you are not allowed to dial anyone." He said. Athaliah started pushing the car door to open and jump out of the car but Hayden locked it instantly. "Don't even think of jumping? You will hurt yourself! And think about Ryan and Rhea, they are too young to lose their mother." He said with a smirk. That wicked smile on Hayden's face only made Athaliah slap him tight. But he held her hand instantly and increased the car speed as the destination he had planned to take her wasn't far now. Athaliah looked outside the car too see, he wasn't lying when he said she knew the place. She actually knew exactly where she was taking her. And she can't wait to reach there. *** "He is taking here." Sean
"What nonsense is this! Why would we need a lawyer?" Robin asked with a frown, his resolve of staying strong, no, pretending to be strong is breaking slowly. "Wait a minute. You will know right away." Aaron said while gritting his teeth with a harsh look on his face. "Sean?" Athaliah called for her secretary aka personal detective to begin with the show. "Let them know about what's going on, please." Athaliah said with a smirk while making a fist out of her hands so hard that it almost cut off her blood circulation. Suddenly Sean entered the room with Luke. Luke was smirking at the duo devilishly. He is going to enjoy the show very much. Sean came and connected his laptop with the TV where Athaliah was watching the new sometimes back. After a few seconds, there were some pictures that were shown on the television. "Wh… what the heck is this?" Olivia exclaimed while shivering in te
"What? That doesn't make sense!" Ariana said with a frown. "Why do we have to make mistakes?" Ariana asked. Athaliah was going to explain but Aaron answered behalf of him. "We have to make such a mistake so that it looks like we made this mistake while planning on how to trap him. So in order to double cross us he will have to definitely think of something real quick but as we already got our every step measured up, they will get tangled in the maze created by themselves." Aaron explained. "Exactly!" Athaliah said. "But how do we make intentional mistakes? And what should it be?" Aiden asked. "Leave that on me. I will let you all know after I am done. Till then let's plan our next steps toward Robin and Athaliah." Athaliah said. Aaron kept looking at her with a thoughtful look before removing his eyes off her.
"I told you hundred times not to call me on my number. Then why?" Hayden snapped at the opposite person in frustration. "You are going to drown me!" He snapped again and waited for the person to talk and his face turned red in anger. "Oh, I see! You already messed it up!" He shouted at that person. That person again said something which made him calm down a little. He took deep breaths to calm his rage down. "Okay! Okay! Give me some time to figure it out and don't call me again… and for god's sake don't mess it up more! I will see what I can do!" Saying that he kept the call with a loud sigh out of frustration and turned back only to be shocked to see Athaliah standing behind him with a small smile. "Uhh!! Athaliah? You.. I…" He started to stutter. He lacks words, not knowing what to say. "Busy?" Athaliah asked with an apologetic smile. "I am sorry I came in with
"Deal!" She said and immediately put her hand over his. Robin immediately caught her hand and smirked at her wickedly. Elena's heart dropped on her stomach seeing that and she looked at him with a horror sticked face, she thought he was pretending till now. But he left her hand after giving her knuckle a small peck. "You are sweet! So you deserve this." He said with a slurry smile which immediately relaxed her tensed nerves. "Okay, so where I was? Oh yeah. You wanted to know why I wanted to kill her." He said. "Yes, tell me and I will let you sleep." Elena said again and he happily nodded at her. "I wanted her property. I wanted her business. I wanted her money and that's why I wanted to kill her. That's why I used to disturb her in many ways. That's why I sent fake and morphed pictures of me and her to Aaron and created misunderstandings between them." He said and started to gigg
"Robin! You are an angel!" He said in a slurry tone and got up from his seat. He acted like his legs wobbled and he fell on Robin. Robin was quick to catch him. He made him sit back on his previous seat. "Whoa, dude! You are wasted. What happened?" Robin asked with a smirk, he always enjoys others' sufferings. "You are an angel! How is it possible that whenever I am in the worst stage of my life and you are always around? You must be an angel." Aiden said in a slurry tone but Sean and Elena who were hearing him couldn't help but snort because they easily picked up the sarcasm in Aiden's tone. Robin smirked at himself while taking the full credits. From Aiden's behaviour it doesn't look like he knows anything about him yet. Either Athaliah doesn't know about him yet or she didn't say anything about him to her brother yet. That means he still got time to wrap everything up and leave this place forever.
