(One month later)

Aniya had been staring at the LED screen where a detective series was being played, but her mind was somewhere else. She had been observing Marwick for one month.

The little friendliness he used to show her, had completely gone. He had been a different person. He rarely spoke, he never smiled, and he had become a severe workaholic.

There was no sign of River Brower. Chad was arrested a month ago. The moment he was out of the hospital, he was taken to the jail. His property was put up by his wife’s lawyer.

He still didn’t know who had hit him on the head and Marwick made it a point to keep Aniya safe. He didn’t want to drag her name in court trials.

Even if there would be a need Aniya didn’t have to worry about it. Because it was all done in self-defense.

She tried to hold her yawn and twisted her neck only to find Derek sleeping beside her on the couch. The poor man decided to watch the detective series because Aniya loved it.

She couldn’t hold the smile and started

I hope Marwick finds Bella when he goes to the location. I think River Brown is the fake name that Ashton gave Bella because he planned to hurt Marwick from the beginning. Can't wait for the next update

    Aniya went inside Marwick’s office to get the important documents from his desk. He had instructed her to get them before leaving so she could email all the employees for the next meeting.She picked up the large manila envelope and was about to turn away when she saw his tilted seat. She didn’t know what got into her. She stepped ahead and started stroking the expensive black leather.Just to feel the heat of his body, she slowly landed her ass on the seat.Smiling to herself, she started rotating it like a kid. However, she had to stop the activity when there was a small knock on the door,“What are you doing here?” Derek’s head appeared in the doorway. He blinked and stepped inside, closing the door behind him.“Where is Marwick?” Aniya shrugged in answer,“I don’t know. He seemed to be in a hurry. Just asked me to collect the documents from the office and left. According to him, it was an unexpected meeting.” She again started revolving the chair, “Want to join the fun?” She offer

    Aniya and Derek froze in their place. “Y-Yes?” Aniya asked the person knocking impatiently on the door. “Aniya? Is it you? Sorry. I thought it was Marwick.” Aniya took a sigh of relief when she heard Ashley outside the bathroom door. “She is my friend,” she whispered to Derek and then called out, “I will be out Ashley. After a few more minutes.” “Ok, buddy take your time,” Derek rolled his eyes when he heard Ashley Deluca, “What if she keeps waiting for us?” he murmured near her ear. Aniya giggled because she found his whisper like a tickle. “Aniya! You alright? Are you talking to someone?” Aniya’s lips formed a line, “Umm. Yes, Ashley. Actually, I was talking to someone on my phone.” That was the best thing she could come up with. “Ok, Aniya.” Take your time. I am waiting for you here.” Aniya leaned her forehead against his shoulder and started laughing. “Stop laughing! Urgh!” Derek groaned, clearly not liking the situation, “Now she is waiting outside.

    “Hey, Derek. You were inside the office too? I must have missed you when you went in there,” Ashley asked Derek trying to mask the mischief in her voice. But Aniya could detect it. Before Aniya could give any sign or hint to Derek, the poor man waved his hand carelessly, “Oh. I went inside when you were in the production department.” Aniya wanted to facepalm. Now nothing could be done about it. She was in the mess. “How do you know if I was in the production department?” Ashley narrowed her eyes and took the seat that used to belong to River Brower. “When I passed the reception desk, Aniya informed me that you were there,” Derek told her confidently. Ashley had placed her tongue on the side of her inner cheek, “Oh. That makes sense.” Derek waved at Aniya before leaving the reception desk. Both the girls kept looking at him until he exited. When Aniya turned around, she found Ashley standing behind her, placing a hand on her hip. “What?” Aniya asked her and in answer, all Ashley

Tonight, it was more difficult to cook due to this familiar burning in her core. “Come on, Aniya. Focus! Focus on dinner,” she scolded herself and got back to work. She wanted to get done with it before his arrival. However, she had to look at the clock when the doorbell rang. “Hello,” Derek as always had brought flowers for her. Raising his face, he sniffed the air, “What are you cooking?” “Your favorites,” she took his jacket and went back to the kitchen. He strolled over to the huge crystal vase and placed the bouquet in it. While she was busy stirring the pot, he filled a jug with water and left the kitchen to pour it into the vase. She had just covered the dish when he was again behind her and turned her into his arms, “We could have ordered something. Why are you making yourself tired?” he placed his finger

What is going on? Red Riding Hood?” he looked at me questioningly when River didn’t respond to him and kept crying in his arms.“Sh…she… she told me… m…my father…. He is fixing my marriage with some stranger. I don’t want to get married. I love nobody but you,” Keanu lifted her up by her ass and her legs were at once around him.He made her sit on the bed.

The management is quite happy with Mimi’s progress,” Arabella told Jeff’s partner, Fione who moved to their house for her girls’ better education and job opportunities. Two years back, Marwick had offered Fiona to join his company. Even if she wouldn’t have moved here, Marwick had promised her long ago that he would take responsibility for Jeff’s family in his absence. Whether his girlfriend wanted to do a job or some business or even if she wanted to be a stay-at-home mom. He had promised himself that he would support the family as much as he could. There was an annex at a little distance from their giant house that was built especially for the family. “You should start dating, Fiona. You are still young,” the girl smiled and shook her head. There was a sketch of Jeff’s older daughter that was made by Arabella as promised to Mimi’s father. “Where are the twins?” Arabella asked her, looking around. “Oh, they just went to sleep. You wer

    (Aniya: One month later)“Finally, we are here,” Aniya told Derek who held her hand and leaned to kiss her cheek.“Yeah. Finally!” He looked happy too. It was almost a dream come true. His dream girl was at last by his side.They had just landed at the Sydney Airport and they both knew that their fate had brought them here. The same fate that brought them together.Aniya took out her phone when it vibrated. She had received millions in her bank account. Her mouth was hung open.There was a message from Gerald.“Take it as your gift from Garner Empire. I know you will never accept it. But this is a joint gift from me, Ashley, and Marwick so that you can start your life without worry.”Aniya felt strange. As a director, Derek did receive a good chunk of his due funds after he resigned. But why Gerald, Ashley, and Marwick were giving her so much money? For God's sake, this meant only one thing. Now she was a billionaire.“What’s the matter, darling?” Derek asked her while walking to the

    “What? Resign?” Gerald was looking at Aniya open-mouthed, “Are you nuts? Who makes such impulsive decisions, Aniya?” “I do!” Aniya lifted her chin up and there was this stubbornness evident on her face, “I have decided to follow him.” She flipped back her shoulder-length hair with style. That same Aniya style. Her smile did waver a bit when she felt Gerald’s pointed gaze on her face. “What?” She sounded defensive, “People do leave jobs and shift to other countries. I need to accompany him if we want a future together. I am quite sure my happiness lies with him.” “You were quite sure when you followed Marwick here and packed up your cleaning business. Just to be a receptionist in his office.” Gerald pointed out and that brought rage on her face. “Mr. Gerald Oliver. Are you questioning my decisions?” she cocked up a challenging brow at him. “No, Aniya,” Gerald leaned back in Marwick’s seat. After he left for Turkey, Gerald was taking care of everything behind him, “I am your frie

    “Yes?” Ashton just got done fuc*king a dame and now he was smoking while scrolling his phone when he got this call.“Sir. I have bomb news.” The man on the other side told him with excitement. “Shoot!” he pressed the cigarette between his finger and thumb and flipped it towards the ashtray on the nightstand. The girl beside him was sleeping without bothering to cover herself and Ashton's hand was stroking her a*ss after getting rid of the cigarette. “It’s about your son, Mr. Ashton. Marwick Garner,”Ashton threw a quick glance towards the girl and decided to leave the room. He came out while knotting the robe around his gown.“I told you not to bother me about my son. I just wanted to know about Arabella Den. She is fuc*king eighteen and I was thinking that Marwick must have gotten rid of her by now.But no. She is still residing there.” Frustration was evident in his tone. “Or maybe my son is also taking advantage of her beauty,” Ashton said with a low chuckle. Arabella Den. E

    “So, are you seriously going to Turkey? Just to settle the couple?” Gerald asked him when Marwick was putting his passport in a leather pouch, “I can’t believe it. Don’t you think it’s an absurd demand?”“Sir. I have packed your bags.” Marwick’s butler informed him, “Please let me know if you need any more assistance,”Marwick dismissed him with a slight shake of his head and looked towards Gerald.“I have a very trustworthy staff, but I would really appreciate it if you stop mentioning the country repeatedly.

    Aniya frowned and looked at Derek when someone whispered from behind, “The bride seems to be a cancer survivor. Such a brave girl she is.” That was the moment Aniya noticed her newly grown short hair under the veil.“Derek,” she breathed after leaning towards Derek.“I know, love. I know. We will talk about it later,” Derek kissed her hand lightly and looked ahead to witness the vows. ***“You may now kiss the bride,” The priest announced, and River kneeled in front of the wheelchair, where Keanu lifted her veil with a teary chuckle and bent down to kiss the bride.The small audience started cheering for them.“I love you so much,” Keanu almost choked on his tears. River wiped his cheeks and chuckled.“I love you too, Mr. Keanu. I am lucky to have you in my life. As my lover and as my husband.”“Not lucky as me, Mrs. Keanu,” He bent again to kiss his bride. They both were not embarrassed to cry and kissing each other again and again in front of a bunch of people.“Thank you so much.”

She lifted her black hair off her neck to examine herself, “I think a bun at the top will look more suitable,”The bathroom door opened, and Derek stepped out with a towel around him. He ran a slow gaze at Aniya who was wearing a blush pink gown that flowed just below her knees. The off-shoulder neckline that was lined with lace was giving her an ethereal look.He tried his best to take his eyes off her and started dressing up. After buttoning up his tailored charcoal gray suit jacket, he smirked.She was still confused about her hairstyle.“Whatever style you will decide, believe me. You will ace it.” He said and started brushing his fingers through his partially wet hair.When she didn’t respond and the pout stayed there on her lips, he walked up behind her and placed his hands on her bare shoulders. “What’s the fuss about?” he muttered close to her ear, causing goosebumps on her skin.“I can’t deci

Her next head shave was also due. The first one was done by Keanu. Garner Empire was still bustling with people and business. Gerald was taking care of all the meetings and Aniya was managing all the online commitments along with Mr. Penks. They wanted to give maximum time to Marwick so that he could spend most of his time with River. “River. Now don’t act like a bratty kid,” he heard Keanu’s stern voice who was trying to feed chicken corn soup to River. “I can’t. It’s been so many days since I last ate a burger or a pizza,” she had been puking everything and the doctor had asked them to feed her soft food. At last, Marwick who was working on his laptop got on his feet and placed the laptop aside, “Give it to me,” Marwick reached out to hold the bowl, “If you have any errands to run then you can g
