2021-12-21 01:01:10"What the hell?" Edward snapped, a frown merred between his eyebrows, him not understanding what was happening.
A young man had referred the Chancellor of Bitmus with his surname. Not only that, he had the audacity of spatting nonsense of suspending him.
Mr. Jonas, the Chancellor paled on seeing Theodore. Immediately standing up from his seat, he came forward, rounding around his desk and standing infront of Theodore in attention.
"Mr. Alexander." He greeted, his voice nervous and somehow dripping in anxiety. "What did I do?" He questioned, without beating around the bush. The words Theodore had spoken, right after entering, had the ground slipping from his feet.
Tilting his head to the side, Theodore looked at him with blank face, his hands inside the pockets of his dress pants.
"You don't know what you did? Or more specifically what you led happened?" On seeing Chancellor shaking his head with fearful eyes, Theodore let out small tsks sound.

"What happened here?" Mr. Arnold's voice was heard, followed by fast footsteps entering inside the living hall. Edward looked up at him from the floor, his eyes mahogany and flashing in unfathomable rage and vengeance. "That son of a bitch nearly choked me to death!" He burst into fits of anger, on seeing his father as he gently pulled away from his mother's hold, who was busy inspecting the bruises on Edward's neck. These words had Mr. Arnold's face scrunching in rage. "Who dared?!" He boomed, his voice thunderous. Hitting his only son was the hard limit he had drawn the line of his tolerance, at. "That fucking Brigadier!" Edward roared with hoarse voice. All the fury dissipated from Mr. Arnold's face. Shock and disbelief flashed on his face before they got replaced by neural features, all traces of anger long gone from his face.

Shivering, she was refraining herself to open her eyes. Her face had gone pale, mind numb, not understanding how to deal with this sudden shock.Theodore was here. Inside her room. And from the tone of his voice, he did not sound happy. That had her insides curled.For few minutes, there was adhering silence around her. Only her own heartbeats audible to her ear.Then, suddenly, she sensed hot breath hitting her face before a towering body was pressed against her small one."Open those beautiful eyes, Sweetheart." His tone was seductive yet stern, letting her know he wasn't in mood of nonsense.Ever so slowly, she unfolded her eyelids, before lifting her hazel eyes that were sparkling in fear and nervousness.The fret of him finding something out there, wasn't allowing her to think straight."There's my girl."

There was pin drop silence inside the room. The night stands lamp brining light to certain parts, leaving the rest to shallow in darkness.In amidst of the deafening silence, Theodore's low voice was heard which had her trembled to bones."I dislike being on waiting row, Sweetheart." He had reminded her in voice that seemed to be on edge."I..." An involuntary whimper from her lips interrupted her whisper."You? Hmm? You what, Sweetheart?" He asked, his thumb rubbing her soft cheek in circular manner.Hazel swallowed the lump in her throat and looked here and there, looking for an escape. Her mind getting all worked up.Theodore noticed her eyes movement and looked down with a sigh."Go on." He suddenly backed from her, startling her."Try and run."

Two Days Later :Mona was just done placing mug of coffees on the table when she sensed a presence.Looking up, she found Theodore coming down stairs, busy in adjusting the collars of his camouflage shirt. He was attending an important military meeting today and for that, he was dressed in his military uniform that had given a raise to his already authoritative and charming stature.Giving one curt of a nod to his mother, Theodore walked past her and sat down on his head chair. Mona sighed, seeing the dryness in his mood, very well aware of the reason.Taking a seat beside him, she looked at the vacant seat infront of her which belonged to Hazel and which had been empty from past two days.Despite Mona's constant requests and Theodore's orders, Hazel had refused to step out of her room.

As she stepped forward to open the door, Chris beat her to it and pulled it for her.She looked up at him with disbelief in her eyes, surprised at his chivalry."Don't look this shocked, munchkin." Chris chuckled, "I'm just practicing for my future wife." He ended his tease with a wink.Huffing, she sat down as Chris then closed the door, rounded to his side, opened the door to his side and sat down followed by him starting the engine and car roaring to it's life.As per Theodore's instructions, they were now headed to the headquarters, much to Hazel's excitement.She

Her back was facing him, though front view was no better.Chris was standing infront of her with smugness written all over his face, his eyes playful, lips holding a smirk."Yes, Hazel. Tell him. What were saying earlier?" Chris took teasing steps towards her, her pleading eyes evoking no ounce of mercy inside him."Stop right there." Theodore sudden order caused Chris to pause in his tracks, a frown merring his features."Take those steps back."

The science was out of her range, she couldn't understand.Theodore Sir would call her by same pet name. But, to the depth Chris could go, while pronouncing the syllables was beyond her understanding."Sir," She greeted, her voice soft and polite."How is Hazel doing?"Chris could imagine the havoc Hazel would create when she would find out he has used her name as an excuse to talk with Isabel.Not that he cared. He was Isabel's boss. With or without excuse, he held all the rights to call her, physically or on the phone, during her working hours.Isabel turned around to look at Hazel who was heading towards restroom."Fine, sir.

"Aria shh." Hazel made a gesture for two years old to remain silent who gave a cheeky nod, brought her little hands up and covered her to mouth to keep her giggle in check.With Aria's other hand in Hazel's, both were in mission to sneak into the kitchen.Theodore was upstairs."Mama will get you one last chocolate, okay? Promise mama you will not tell dada about it?" Hazel forwarded her pinky finger in Aria's direction. Aria's eyes lit up at the mention of her favorite dessert. Without beating around the bush, Aria interwined her pinky finger with her mother's.Nodding at her daughter, Hazel left Aria's hand once inside the kitchen and then walked forward and opened the refrigerator before she began to look through the edibles."Hersheys. Bubbly. Ramtin.. That's it, baby. Choose from 'em." Hazel mumbled, while her head was still sneaked inside the refrigerator.

Baby it's okay. You did good. Let me deal with the fucker now." He muttered gently rubbing his hands through her hair to calm her down.Edward's sudden groan had Theodore's body straightening in alarm. Barely suppressing his rage, he leaned his head to Hazel's eye level."Go to Aria, okay? I will join you in a minute." He said, referring to their two months old who was still bawling her eyes out upstairs. Hazel gave a shaky nod but suddenly, concern for Theo flash through her eyes. "B-But y-you-"Theodore smiled at her concern. "I will be fine, darling. Infact after today, I will be more than fine. I will be ecstatic." There was something dangerous in his aura.

All that matters was the nourishment of her little being.Her Aria. Their Aria.Theodore had named her that. More than her, Theodore was the one who had been on cloud nine from the time Aria came in his Life.He started smiling more. Sass began to come naturally for him.
