That same evening for his mother's birthday party, Dalton had to be at another banquet that he could not avoid attending. His mother had acted up in her own way to change her son's mind, but soon gave up when she realized that it was strictly business that couldn't be missed with pleasure.

There were so many reasons Dalton hated gatherings like that, and the major one was being in the limelight of the event, which was not even related to the pride others had always emphasized about. The unnecessary friendliness for mainly commensalism which he would never partake in. The strive for attention, and the untold competition amongst middle and high-level elites.

And as expected, the spotlight for someone like Dalton could not be avoided. The party was the one for top young ranked socialites and top listed celebrities, as they all ambled into the hall dressed in their luxurious dresses of weird shapes and structures.

The party clash was evident.

The one at the Millers was for the speci

    "How was the party yesterday with your mother-in-law and Dalton's sisters? Heard it was Eleanor Miller's birthday. Did it go well?" Collin asked from the other side of the phone, worried that many things might have gone wrong because of the kind of family she was married into. From the few she had said, he envisaged the worst."Wasn't bad at all," Aria replied normally, not wanting to talk about the details of the ordeal she had to go face with every member of the family, and even Damon who was probably going to become part of the family soon. It was going to be a catastrophe to be in that kind of setting, because the combination of all of them was vile. "What you mean wasn't bad? They are not good people so I am sure, that there would have been so much to worry about. Especially for the fact that there would be an intense need to put on a facade to the invitees. Are you sure you are okay?" He inquired again, extremely worried about her even more than ever, because of his encounter w

    "Wait here, Anna. I would be right back. Do not open the windows, and just keep playing games like you are doing right now," Aria instructed the young girl who just nodded with attentive ears, to everything that she was being told after the car rolled into the parking lot. Aria stepped outside of the car instantly while monitoring the car that was still watching theirs, and made her way swiftly towards the elevator that led to the first floor of the company. If her left eye had caught real well when she glanced sideways, it was someone in black outfit all through, with a black cap and shoes. Frustration hit the best of her as to why such had to come up, just when she had to drive Anna to the hospital, and also had to meet her private investigator for an information she demanded from him. Her schedules were already matching up in perfection, but something she could have never imagined to happen in broad daylight was going on. "You need to get this fast. Figure out what is th

    It was late at night and Aria was standing in the kitchen to make dinner by herself, with every of the maids still cleaning the space flocking around her, to help her pick anything she wanted to make the meal. Since they had seen how power had changed hands in the house, they could not help but be more respectful to the wife of their boss. She refused their help to prepare dinner which was different from the food on the menu, that was prepared by the kitchen chefs, and had been served to every member of the family who were present at the table to eat that evening. Her mind often wandered to what the bad guy had said to her earlier. The tattoo he had on his neck bothered her so much that she took a break after dropping Anna at the hospital, to sketch out the detailing of the inked design in the best way she could. After she had paid the balance for the job the investigator had done for her, she paid another advance for him to find everything about any gang that had that kind of g

    The past few days were a traumatic one for Aria, when she heard the name of the maid that had died. It was the young girl who was assigned to clean her room, who cared for her when she was unable to do anything by herself because of her broken arm. Even after those times she was still so helpful, that it also got her wondering what the girl was thinking and why she was nice to her. She couldn't understand why the girl had to die. It was really quiet in the mansion and there was no one to ask about what happened after, or if there was any chance that the girl who was moved away in an ambulance could still be breathing. Alex, who could have had an idea about the entire situation, went on a business trip with Dalton that same day. In the midst of the painful news that was enough to cause an emotional breakdown, Aria had to go to the hospital to stand by Anna who was going to receive a surgery. She had to drive the long way to the orphanage home to pick up the nun first, who also

    Hours earlier........... "Why did you really want to meet, Aria? It is not like I am trying to sound so annoying or anything, but you really are not the type to honour invites like this immediately. Are you sure everything is okay?" Collin, who was looking at the lady that was sitting in front of him asked, trying to figure out if anything was going wrong with her. He had expected her to refuse his request and had prepared for the disappointment, but she rather surprised him by agreeing to come meet him wherever he chose. She was barely eating any slice from the pizza that they ordered, and even the drink he noticed that she really liked was left untouched. As much as she tried to look okay after she accepted his idea to eat lunch together, he still could sense that something was wrong with everything about her. "A very nice friend of mine died. It is so upsetting," Aria told him just one of the many things that was disturbing her, as she picked a golden fork from the one of

    "How could you not tell me that that lost son of a f***er was trying to harass you? Did I train you to be that weak?!" Eleanor demanded from her daughter who was just slouched tiredly to her couch, days after the incident with Damon's arrest happened in the house. Ellen was not in the mood to even reply to what her mother was saying, with her heart still pacing restlessly with all that had happened with Damon. It was a fact that Aria had heard her discussion together with Damon, and probably found out about the rest of what had transpired between both of them. It was difficult to be in good spirits. "Am I not talking to someone here?!" "Mother, can we just stop talking about the same question you have asked me about a thousand times? I have better things to do than sit here for more than twenty minutes, listening to you take issues so seriously more than you should. And you should not use cuss words any longer. Leave it for the younger generation," Ellen scolded her mother with wor

    Aria sat on her bed all afternoon searching frantically for the social media page of the masked dancer, who was rumoured to have started dancing again after opening a new page. No one knew who the lady was or if she was the one from before, because there was a change in outfit and dancing styles too. It had become a topic issue among netizens and YouTubers, who were looking for all means to connect the present person to the past one. They had tried to pick out coincidences that could make the new dancer the same as the old, but they could not find anything out which eventually died up the comments and speculations. She had to be fast concerning every finding she wanted to know, because it seemed like Dalton was on her radar already trying to look into what she was up to. He was suspecting every of her moves and doings, by asking her random questions that she could never tell the truth to. 'Could he actually be the one plotting all of that and just trying to make her life a living

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
