A meeting was taking place in a conference room of the board of directors and a CEO, and were talking about innovative plans to improve the effective output of their resort inorder to aid much productivity. They already had made available golf courses for elites who loved the sport as a recreation, but needed more exclusive improvement to bring better ratings to the economic center. The executives were brainstorming and thinking as required of their CEO, who just watched everyone silently in their own mulling state. Quickly, an agitated but comported assistant entered into the meeting room and ambled quickly over to his boss's side, to inform him of the development that was taking place outside the company's walls. Collin, who had returned back to work after his quite stressful journey, was sitting back on the luxurious chair, unfazed about what he had just been told by his assistant. He decided to end the meeting which was in favor of most of them who were unable to think of

The fire had begun to spread rapidly to every part of the house, and the ceiling made of high quality wood had started to burn its hot ashes to the floor. Aria was not finally unconscious yet, by her eyelids had begun to slide close, to the shutting down of her body system. The glass door began to bang so loudly as it threatened to break from its hinges, because of the strong force that was hitting on it from outside the door. The force soon changed its direction, to the other side of the house on the glass wall which would be much easier. As the bangs increased and became much harder, the fire spread more to every part of the house, which unfortunately had its sprinklers malfunctioning at that point in time. By the last final blow that collided against the glass that had been hit so many times, it shattered to a large size and the stuffed heat that ejected out of it instantly was intense. Trying every of his best and using the most of his strength, Dalton anxiously hit the

"Aria! Aria can you hear me?" Dalton tapped her cheeks gently several times, when he noticed that she was stirring back to life. Her eyes were still tightly shut as he held her closely to his body, and began to walk away from the surroundings of the burning vacation house. Immediately he walked back to where his car was parked and dropped her comfortably on the front seat, he picked up his phone immediately and wondered whom he could call nearest to the place. That was when he figured out that he didn't even have the contact of the doctors, since it was Alex who normally did the scheduling and search. Panicking about the fact, he quickly checked the internet to find the location of where they were on the map, and to locate the nearest hospital that could take her in as fast as possible. "Just take me elsewhere, Dalton, and not the hospital," she said to him in a very fragile voice, as he turned his face shockingly to see if it was really she talking. "Aria! Are you really aw

"Mum! I will not forgive you if Dalton does not restore those credit cards. I would not!" Ellen gnarled at her mother, as they all continued to amble around the dining room and kitchen. There was no one to prepare the meals they would eat that night, as they just continued to munch on the fruits that were left from breakfast. To make it worse, there was no internet connection in the house too, which was the most impactive of the deprivation they had suffered. "You should not talk to me like that! My authority still stands in this house," Eleanor snapped at her daughter, who was really angry and even frowning so hard at her. "I would just have to return to my own condo, while Emma can travel around again. Eva can sleep in her art gallery, while you will be the only one trying to adjust to living in your huge building all over again," Ellen snickered at her own words, and then bursted into laughter when the hilarious imaginations of Eva sleeping at the art gallery occurred to her.

The entire night was so sleepless for Dalton because Aria was so restless, and was finding it hard to sleep because of her nightmares. She continued to mumble and sweat profusely in her sleep with shut tight eyes, with Dalton worrying endlessly about what he could do to help without waking her. The fire incident that she was involved in when she was young replayed in her dreams, alongside the one that she had to experience in the vacation house again. She struggled so much because it was hard to sleep, and to also wake up because of the medicine that was yet to wear off from her body. Dalton gently wiped the sweat from her face and forehead as she slept, but it was still uncomfortable for him to watch her look so much in pain. He moved over to the couch that she was sleeping on and raised the upper part of her body up, so that he could lay her head on his lap and tend to her properly. He tried to tie her hair that seemed to be getting in the way of her face, but it was dif

Dalton parked the car at a distance away from the beach, as he watched Aria walk towards the water and graze her feet into the sand. He walked away from the parking spot and stood miles away from where she was walking towards, as she let her fingers brush into the water as soon as the waves went the other way. After some minutes, she saw that Dalton just remained standing without coming closer, even when she had asked him to come with her to the beach shore where other people were. Her pride would not let her meet him and ask to join her the second time, and luckily, her eyes caught something more exciting instead at the other side. Aria went back to where Dalton was standing and requested a card from him, as she ran back without answering his question of where she was going. In a few minutes, she rented a surfing board, surfing clothes and also paid for a few hours to learn from a surfer. After she had failed to ride the surfing board so many times because of how imbalanced h

"And you have a problem with that?" Dalton's voice cut her off immediately, and the entire family gasped at his reply. They were shocked when they heard Eva talk out of line at first, but were surprised to hear that Aria was getting the huge departmental store. It was really a glaring fact that their brother was really serious Aria, even if their marriage was months away from its end. Aria herself was inwardly elated when she found out that Dalton had finally approved it, even if she had no idea about how to run that kind of huge business. It was a pleasure to her that regardless of everything, she was going to get a huge reward at the end of their marriage. "You are making this bitch the head of the store?!" Eleanor raged immediately forgetting her sins that were not yet forgiven, and Ellen turned to her mother immediately to give her a cautioning look. "Yes. And that is my final decision," he said and made to climb the stairs together with Aria, when he heard an offensive wo

"So now that you have gotten the company you asked for, any plans to make it even better than it is now? With what I know, you do not have so much knowledge about being the co-owner of a company, talk more of being the owner," Dalton stated loudly as he walked out of the study room, that he had been for more than an hour after Alex left. Aria was sitting in front of the dresser mirror that was clearly for her, as she applied facial oil and treatment to her face for night purposes only. She continued to subconsciously check her collar bones to observe how sunken they are, and her eyes to see if they were not deep into their socket as well. She just resided in her fate and let Dalton do whatever he wanted, because she was actually cautious about returning to a room that had been tampered with in her absence. Though Dalton's room might not be any better for her either as she didn't know much about his life, it would help her map out the final plans to get the perpetrator

New OrleansGrand Isle"Getting so occupied with Adriana has made me so busy. I will meet you at the event," Ariana apologized to her sister on the phone, as she turned to face her tiny little child who had spilled the jug of milk again for the third time. "Come back here, naughty," she called and tried to catch the little child who ran off so fast, the moment she realized that her mother was about to get to her. "She is so fast. The last time she came over, the rack that holds numerous stacked books in the dining room came tumbling. I didn't see her afterward, and feared so greatly that she was probably under the huge rack," Aria sighed so hard over the phone. "I started crying while calling her name, because she is just so tiny. Guess what? I found her when I heard a loud sound in the kitchen. She had climbed the kitchen stool and gotten her little fingers on my bowl. It was so hectic." "Oh, dear. I am sorry she made you go through all that," Ariana groaned with a chuckle, as she

ItalyMilanLeased vacation house It had been harder for Collin to leave, as he watched Aria wallow in sadness and degrade in her health by the day because of her sister's condition. She could not eat or sleep properly, because of her sister whose eyes had been shut in a deep sleep for weeks after her surgery. Going to see the growing baby at the hospital almost everyday was like a strand of hope she could cling unto, as she watched the cute baby girl take after the features of her mother. She cried every time she was with Ariana, and she also cried every time she went to see the baby with Collin. He had been shuffling between New Orleans, California and Italy, because of the fact that he had to manage the office head in California and the branch in New Orleans. Things had been so stressful and hectic for him, considering the fact that his father always picked fights with him that he was barely around. And for blind dates with elite ladies, his father would not stop setting

Dalton's company"The percentage rise is astounding both internally and externally. People are trying to invest their shares again," Alex reported to his boss, as he presented the report to Dalton who was signing some important files. "We are not taking shares of anyone less than 9% to cut down the number of people that are desired for the investments. And for everyone that qualifies for the quota, blacklist the ones that have been part of the corporation before and pull them out after thorough findings. For anyone who would be remaining, make sure to find out about them before bringing their proposal. We won't give a chance to disloyal people anymore." "Yes sir. What about the art pieces that were moved from the gallery, sir?""Put them up for sale in another country entirely. Italy, Japan, and the like. I want it done far from here," Dalton instructed with a calm and silent tone. He had been like that for months. Less talking, shouting, anger, and showoff. He talked mostly to A

Even in her unconscious state, she probably could hear the silent and calculated beeps from every corner of the room. She could still hear inaudible sounds of mumbling and murmuring around her, but her head could not turn to look at what was going on. Of course, she was certain that she was still alive, but every part of her body felt so heavy that she couldn't move them. The feeling of people constantly hovering above her body was something she always felt, even if she always slipped back into tiredness and unconsciousness. Her eyelids were so heavy that she could feel them, and she didn't seem to remember why she was like that or what had happened. All she could feel was her heart hurting so bad, like someone was stitching it with a needle and thread. She felt suffocated even while still unconscious, until someone grabbed her arm softly in theirs. "Ariana. You have to wake up soon, okay? The guilt is killing me. Knowing that you went through so much for me is killing me. I ne

Dalton was so heartbroken than ever that it was extremely hard to believe that he had fallen too much for the lady, who was never ready to stay with him because of their ill fate. It didn't matter how much he cried, grieved, or searched, he could not be okay knowing the reality of everything that had happened. Collin did not leave with the helicopter that transferred Ariana out of the city, because he would feel guilty if he had to lie to Dalton's face that he didn't know where she was, if they ever met. He just contacted her group from Italy that picked her up to know if they arrived safely. The Miller company stocks fell even more and almost hit rock bottom, while a lot of people withdrew their shares from the companies in the space of a week. A lot of investigations were going on about Eva's case which included going in and out of the mansion, and the sisters too were called for questioning because Dalton refused to go.

The yacht party was the most glamorous and luxurious, which was the main event of the anniversary itself. It was also the one that Mark Miller promised to attend and make a speech, after his grandson had officially launched the banquet hosting. Eleanor had searched around the entire evening during the banquet to see if Dalton came with his wife, but was rather surprised to see that she was nowhere to be found. It made her wonder if something had gone wrong between them, or if he had found out about the truth before her but had not told anyone. After the guests were getting ready to leave the banquet and make their way to the yacht party, the news about Eva broke out immediately and it was everywhere on the news headlines alongside gore sights of her carrying out some of the acts. Only the family who were too engrossed in their celebration didn't understand what was going on quickly, until the corps arrived at the party almost immediately.

Ariana was sprawled comfortably early in the morning of the next day on the bed, drowning in a mess of white sheets that had intertwined her body. She closed her eyes after she had opened it for a while, and pulled in a long relaxing breath before she opened it again. Her eyes traced slowly from the transparent glass walls of the underwater bedroom that they had slept in, and then to Dalton who was still sleeping on the bed by her side. She watched the underground ocean sight that was before her, and the sea animals that swam above their heads like it was going to peek through any minute. She turned to stare at Dalton in complete awe again, as she breathed slowly in and out trying to contain the feeling that was beginning to overwhelm her. Her eyes were almost brimming with tears as her throat parched in pain at what would soon be their reality. The thought of it was too sad for her to bear. Pulling herself together, Ariana stood up from the bed and walked to the floor of the nea

The anxiousness that overwhelmed Dalton as he drove to the airport was intense, that it took him much willpower to remain sane till he got to the one she had texted to meet. He didn't even consider the possibility of it being a lie and just pressed on the brakes of his car, and drove far away from his company. When they finally met and he stared at her figure amongst the crowd, it took him effort not to break down and just walk slowly to where she was. He was glad she came back.Her face was so pale and she was looking so dull, as well as there was a visible decrease in her body shape and size that made her look close to skinny. He couldn't believe he was staring at the lady he loved. 'How had she become like that?' he thought painfully. He moved closer to where she was standing and gave her a tight and warm embrace without saying anything, because he had so much to say to her and as well as nothing. Her body wrapped entirely into his huge body frame, and he tried hard not to cry

Ariana, who is still identifying as Aria, had returned to check on her sister in Italy, whose vitals were improving to stability already, and could move her body parts too according to signals. She also met with the foreign investigator to whom she had paid lots of money days before, and presented evidence that she had against Eva to speed up investigations against her. He teamed up with some of his group back in California, who did most of the remaining research covertly. Her health condition seemed to be deteriorating too with an increase in pain by the day, which put her in fear that her sister might not wake up soon enough to see her. And with all those burdens in her heart, she missed Dalton too even if she wouldn't accept it. The fear that she might never see him again also clung to her heart, and caused an ache that refused to go even if she tried to wade the thoughts away. It brought near tears to her face too because it was too sad for her to handle the turmoil her life wa
