"Welcome back, ma'am." Sean, Athaliah's personal detective aka most trusted worker said as soon as she made her entry to the living room. She was fully ready in a black fashionable office suit as she has a meeting today with the board members of her family business. He forwarded his hand for a handshake which she gladly accepted.
"Thank you, Sean. Everything would have changed if it wasn't for you. Please take a seat." She said after shaking his hand and taking a seat herself.
"Don't mention it, ma'am. After what you deed for me, I owe you my whole life. What I did was nothing compared to what you did for me." He replied with gratitude.
FLASHBACK
Athaliah met Sean when she was just building her career. One night when she was returning home from her boutique after finishing the design she was working really hard, she suddenly heard screaming coming from the dark alley. Though the sensibl
Please leave me a review and give my book 'His Revenge' a chance too! Love you all!
"Miss Athaliah, let me explain..." Mr Roy stood up to reach her and explain the situation which was a surprise even for him. "What do you mean by you want to explain? How do you want to explain this?" Athaliah snapped at the poor man in front of almost ten people but no one commented or objected because they were already aware of Miss Athaliah's complex and short-tempered nature. "Miss Athaliah, please calm down and try to understand the situation." Mr Roy tried to make her understand again but she glared at him and that shut him up. He looked behind her at Aiden with pleading eyes to help him in the situation. Though Aiden was equally confused about the current situation, he considered Mr Roy's plea and approached his pissed off sister. Because he already had a wild guess about this. "Athaliah, calm down. You are making a scene. Let's sit down and handle this like the adults that we ar
FLASHBACK "Babe! Where are you taking me?" The seventeen years old Athaliah Williams asked her first-ever boyfriend, her first love, Aaron Knight who had kidnapped her during her math class, blindfolded her and now he is taking her somewhere. "Shh, baby! It's a surprise." He said while guiding her somewhere carefully. "Okay… but what is it?" She asked again like dumb but she is not like this usually. She is always very confident but at this moment she was excited and curious about the surprise date that her boyfriend planned for her. She is always like this every time he surprises her. "Baby, if I tell you it won't be a surprise then. Will it? Show me a little more patience." He said while smiling at his silly girlfriend who was now pouting like the baby she was. Even though she is the smartest at everything but whenever it comes to him or anything related to him, her mind doesn't function well. He came to her class suddenly and asked her math teacher if he could take her to a su
"Papa! I want to go to Mumma!" Rhea demanded to her father as soon as he entered the house. She has her hands crossed over her chest like adults. "Whoa! I missed you too, princess." Aaron said sarcastically while picking up his moody daughter. Rhea looked at him in confusion, not getting from where did that came from out of nowhere in their conversation. "Don't go all sarcastic with your two and a half years old daughter, Aaron. It's out of her league. At least for now." Richard said while coming into the living room. "Yeah, I guess," Aaron said while kissing Rhea's chubby cheek and laughing with his father. "Are you guys making fun of me?" Rhea asked while looking at her father and grandfather narrowing her eyes and hands on the hips. Aaron and Richard laughed out loud again at her cuteness which made her fume in anger. "Stop laughing! I am serious. Take me to my Mumma or you won't like what I would do if you don't." Rhea threatened them which shocked both the men. They
"Aaron? Are you done? Come down fast otherwise, we will be late for the party." Olivia called from the living room. There were Aaron's parents, Richard and Diana, Aaron's younger brother, Adrian present in the room. Rhea was also there on Adrian's lap. After calling Aaron, she looked at them and smiled at them. Then she took her seat on one of the couches, opposite them. "You have a party to attend?" Diana asked. "Yes, Diana. Me and Aaron both do. It's Mr Hastington's fiftieth marriage anniversary. And you all already know he is like the godfather in the business world. So, me and Aaron both can't afford to miss this party as it's a good opportunity to extend our business connections." Olivia said with a smile. "Oh, you both are going together?" Diana asked while raising her eyebrows. "Yeah, but see he's making us late." She complained with a pout. Adrian rolled his eyes and made a face at her poor attempt at acting cute and Rhea saw this. She giggled watching her uncle Adrian
FLASHBACK "Hey, Eli?" Athaliah asked, approaching Elena who was at the drink corner which was arranged at the right corner of their gym room. "Hey, babe! Oh my god! Liah! You look so freaking hot! It looks like that dress and the colour is only made for you!" Elena exclaimed as soon as she saw her. Athaliah came and gave her a brief hug. "Thank you, Eli! Well, I don't know about the colour but the dress is exclusively made for me only." Athaliah said proudly with a wink. "Really? Did you design this? You have to make me one also then!" She exclaimed excitedly. "No, no! I wasn't the one who designed this." Athaliah said immediately. "Yeah? Then who is she? You have to introduce me to her. I love the work!" Elena praised while still caressing the fabric of Athaliah's dress in awe. "It's not she, it's he. And I am waiting for him only, but don't know where he is, why didn't he reach yet..." Athaliah said while looking around for Aaron. "He? Waiting for him? Didn't reach yet? Wh
FLASHBACK"A.. Athaliah?" Aaron asked in shock while pressing his hand on his left cheek where Athaliah just slapped him."You want to explain?" Athaliah asked with a smile without humour.Aaron didn't say anything, just kept looking at her.She continued."You want to explain what? Huh? Do you want to explain why you lied even after knowing how much I hate lies? Do you want to explain what you were doing here with my worst enemy? Do you want to explain how sexually desperate you were that you had to go to her? Do you want to explain how you didn't say anything when she was insulting me in front of you? You want me to explain why I had to hear you asking for sexual pleasure from her desperately?" Athaliah asked while poking his chest with her sharp nails with every accusation.While Aaron's was fisting his hands in a tight ball with every accusation she was throwin
"Luke? Did you prepare everything for tomorrow?" Aaron asked in his phone while putting Rhea to sleep.She was still awake when he came back from the party. He immediately left the party after she was gone. It was like he was there only for her, though he convinced his heart saying he was there to only piss her off. He wanted to see any kind of reaction out of her. But her calm attitude pissed him off in return. It looks like she has learnt to keep her tempers in check which he lost in these two and a half years. He forgot how to keep his temper in check and kept losing it in every small issue."Aaron? Are you over there?" Luke said a little loudly over the phone to get his attention and that brought him back to the present."Huh? Yeah, I am here. What were you saying? Sorry, I was putting Rhea to sleep…" Aaron rambled out."Putting Rhea to sleep? Yeah, sure." Luke said sarcastically with a roll of eye
"Mumma, you are going to the office again?" Ryan asked sadly when he saw her fully ready in her designer office attire. She had a meeting with the board members and workers of her company. She needed to fix it all up for her company. Her company was on the verge of falling apart. As she was gone for years, a lot of new brands and companies entered the market and increased competition. She has to work hard to rise again."Baby, everyone goes to the office every day. I also used to go to the office every day. Remember?" Athaliah said while pulling her son to sit on her laps and kissed his chubby cheeks.But he was still sad. Seeing his sad face, Rhea's saddened face came in front of her eyes. She frowned remembering how that little girl called her Mumma and the crave of listening to hear her call her Mumma again suddenly grew in her heart. Why did she call her Mumma? Why didn't Aaron correct him that time? Moreover, why did he tell Rhea that
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.
