Aiden’s POV I don't know why I called Deigo. I didn't really have anything important to talk to him about. I probably just didn't want to see the two of them together. The sight of them together didn’t sit well with me for some reason. Deigo and Riley seemed to be getting along well, and it made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to shake off the feeling, but it lingered. Knowing that they slept together here burned some sort of emotions within me. I cleared my throat snapping out of it before sitting down and asking, “Why were you two together?” He gave me a simple explanation, which made me feel relieved. Deigo has always been a kind-hearted person, otherwise he would not have chosen to be a policeman. It’s not like I don’t trust him for questioning him but I just wanted things to be clear. Besides I didn’t want him getting involved with my assistant. I still feel uncontrollable jealousy when I think of Riley turning to him for help when she is in trouble. I mean I agree I may

Riley's povI rushed out of Aiden's office like my legs were on fire. My boss confessing his feelings came to me as a shock. It was something I didn't expect at all.The connection between us was undeniable but it doesn't feel right. I mean, the gap between us was too big. He was a rich man while I was just struggling to make a living and to give my mother a good life.'I just rejected my boss' I whispered, patting my racing heart slowly. I wasn't sure if my rejection was out of embarrassment or fear but I didn't want what happened to my ex - boyfriend to repeat itself and I didn't feel I was ready for a new relationship yet.The walk back to my office seemed very short because I practically ran, afraid of Aiden coming out of his office and trying to convince me into dating him which wasn't going to work out.I entered my office and began to sort out the rest of my work but I couldn't concentrate. His words were repeating in my head. The way his lips moved and his eyes focused on me w

Riley's povIt was a Saturday, a time where I could finally do the things I needed to do without being bothered by work. Quickly, I packed the necessary things into my bag and carried the tulips that were wrapped perfectly well in my hands.I took a cab to my mother's hospital, greeted the receptionist, picked a card and headed to her ward. The ward didn't smell particularly nice but I was already used to it since I came here more than four times every week in the past."Mom!" -- "Oh my God, Riley!" We both shouted simultaneously as we threw ourselves into each other’s arms.Tears spilled from my eyes. I was so happy that she was gradually improving. Never had I thought I would get to see my mother or hug her this close again."Riley, how are you doing? You have lost a lot of weight!" My mother exclaimed, pushing me backwards to take a good look.I rolled my eyes and chuckled. "Mom, I have missed you so much. You don't know how much, that's why i haven't been doing well." That was the

Riley's PovI cleared my throat awkwardly and Diego sat down. The conversation was cut short with both of us focusing on our food. The silence went on for about two minutes."Why is it awkward?" Diego suddenly chuckled and I bursted into laughter."That's a very good question." I wiped my entire lips with one of the tissues to avoid another scene repeating itself.Diego chuckled, dropping his fork. "What are your hobbies?" He asked, looking at me.His gaze was so exceptional that I had to remind myself mentally because he was talking to me. "Hobbies? I am not sure. I like and dislike doing everything." I answered in the most honest way possible.All my life has revolved around my ex-boyfriend. Now, I was busy with work so I didn't have anything I liked. Well, something I could consider as a likable thing was me picking tulips for my mother."What do you mean? That's weird. How is it possible for a female not to have any hobbies? She likes everything and dislikes everything? That's ver

Riley's PovI laid in my bed, tossing and turning. For more than two hours into the night, I have been unable to sleep. 'What was on my mind?' The answer was - Aiden and Diego.The truth was I couldn't ignore Diego's kindness to me. What he did tonight, his attitude towards me was just too comfortable. I mean, the pulling of chairs, wiping of my lips, paying for dinner even when it was what I owed him, inviting me to his birthday party - it was just too real.But I had strong feelings for Aiden. It may be the first time I was having such a thought and the first time I was admitting that I actually liked my boss."Diego is just a friend." My mind reminded me. I almost slapped my forehead in foolishness. How could I have forgotten?I mean, friends do those things for each other right? Besides, I rejected my boss, not for Diego or anything. I wasn't sure why I rejected him but it came that way though but he would only remain my boss in the future.I turned again, feeling very confused. I

Aiden's PovThe week was going very smoothly, especially about me being able to see Riley's face. I have never seen anyone as enthusiastic as she was. She was always filled with energy, going around with positivity."I am proud of you, Riley." I shook her hands in congratulations. Her design passed the board's resolution and successfully entered the manufacturing stage.I saw that she had been very nervous earlier in the boardroom but there was no way I could have talked to her or made her feel less nervous about the whole thing.But thank goodness the entire project team ran very well and she was officially in. I was relieved that she was now on the project team because it meant I'd get to see her often."Thank you, boss." Riley said with a smile, withdrawing her hands almost immediately.I glanced around and saw that no one was watching. She was so quick in withdrawing her hands and that pricked something in me.

Aiden's Pov"Is it -- my favorite brand?" Diego exclaimed and I nodded. He pulled me into a happy hug immediately and I reciprocated back with the same energy.Diego had always wanted his favorite brand of sports car all his life and that was the intentional gift I could give to him. It wasn't too much because he was my best friend and my brother so he was worth it."How is it going? I didn't see anyone downstairs when I came." I took a seat just opposite and he also sat down on his former seat.Diego shrugged. "My mother took care of the guests but it isn't time yet. They should be arriving soon though." He answered.Of course, I understood that women loved such things especially parties so it was only understandable that it was his mother doing everything about the party, she had always been the one."Any girlfriends?" I asked jokingly.Diego scoffed, "You were the hot boy of those sessions. I was like a nerd beside you so I should be asking you that." He replied."That's not entire

Riley's PovThe birthday actually went more smoothly than I expected. I met with new people and had a good talk with them even though they treated me like I didn't exist.That was one of the problems that rich people always have. They always see every other person beneath their legs, below their standards, like others were the dirt they stepped on which was absolutely annoying.But I wasn't bothered because I came here on behalf of someone else. I came because it was Diego's birthday. I didn't need to think about any other thing or any other person that was irrelevant. Diego's mother asked me to stay over for a while which I agreed to."Riley, have you noticed that my mom likes you?" Diego suddenly said, sitting close to me on the chair.I didn't look surprised because it was definitely obvious that she liked me and I also liked her too. She had a good spirit and always wanted everyone around her to be happy, just like my mother."She has been urging me to get married but I said I hav

Chapter 30 Aiden's Pov I rode back home after dropping Riley and I couldn't stop thinking about Riley. The way she talked, the way she moved, the way she laughed, the way she just carried herself -- it was all there for someone to see. Ever since she came into my company, it has been exciting with good news and more hard work. Riley wasn't a lazy woman and she is only one with principles. I felt so happy and relieved that she finally warmed up to me. I mean, I kissed her twice in one day. It wasn't enough but that was more than enough. I chuckled when I remembered how she hurried into her apartment because she was shy. But Diego's words were like a bucket of cold water that was poured on me. 'Don't forget what you should do' I don't know if he intentionally said that to ruin the mood, to discourage me from pursuing Riley further. What he said was probably meant for me to stay away from Riley but I knew he didn't mean it that way. His words calmed me down, throwing me into anoth

Riley's PovDiego was surprised that his mother asked Aiden to take me home instead of him since she liked me and wanted him to get married. That act and everything that happened felt funny to me except the kiss, of course."Take care ma'am." I hugged Diego's mother."Make sure to come around some other time." She hugged me back and rubbed my back.I nodded because that little hug gesture reminded me of my mother. I couldn't wait to see her again but sadly, that'd be till the next weekend when there will be no work to attend to.We walked out of the study with Aiden ready to take me home. Diego stepped beside Aiden, pulled his hand and I paused. "Don't forget what you should do." Diego whispered to him with a serious expression.I frowned slightly, feeling very confused. What was he talking about? What was Aiden supposed to do that he hasn't done? Was there something I was unaware about? Or maybe they have some personal unfinished business that wasn't my concern.Aiden didn't respond

Riley's PovAiden slammed his lips on mine immediately and my eyes flustered close. It wasn't expected but I found myself liking it. He straightened me up and guided my back against the door.It wasn't my first kiss but my mind, heart and body were reacting strongly to it. His tongue divided into my mouth and I found myself reciprocating to his kiss.The kiss was warm and inviting. I didn't feel like it was going to end soon. It was forceful at first when it started but slowly, I started releasing myself to feel it. I remembered my ex - boyfriend didn't kiss me like this, he has never kissed me like that before.What was the difference? It was the emotions that were being communicated through the kiss. I dug my fingers into Aiden's hair, pulling him closer. Damn, I was enjoying every moment of it that I forgot we were having an argument about Diego.Aiden stopped kissing me, pressing his fingers against my bottom lip. He watched me breath heavily until I could regulate my breathing an
