Aden Bruce POV
Harry was discussing about his job and I was not listening to him. I was thinking of her. I should have talked to her. I wanted to find everything about her.
I was thinking about her red face and was imagining her anger for me. Meanwhile he snapped his fingers and I came out of my imagination.
Harry "Looks like you have completely lost Your mind."
Aden "Sorry Man. I was just."
Harry "Yeah Yeah I know. I was asking about your plans for now. Didn't you decide anything?"
Aden "No No I was thinking of applying for job in some companies. I want a short break till then."
Harry " Are you kidding me? What's the need for that? Why aren't you joining Your Dad? You should help him in his business."
Aden " I am not interested. I am happy like this. I don't want success being served on my plate like that. I Want to earn that position by myself."
Harry" I never understand your philosophy. What's the need for that? You are competent enough. You deserve that position."
Aden "Change this topic. I don't wanna discuss this again."
Harry "Did you meet with Xavier?"
Aden "No he wasn't home. He had gone out with his friends. Thankfully won't be back till next week."
Harry "That's good."
We were recalling our college-time memories. It was a really good day..I went home in the evening. I went to meet Dad. He was asking about my day and I told him that I met with my girl again.
Dad "Atleast Tell me her full name."
Aden "Not at all. I wanna find out everything about her on my own."
Dad "Let me help you then."
He knew I won't agree so he didn't force. After dinner, I went to my room. I was thinking of applying for a job in some companies. I was about to open my laptop when Jason entered.
He was teasing me again. But I spent a good time with him. He went back to his room in fact I threw him out. I wanted to sleep but her beautiful face wasn't allowing me. I decided to search for her on social media tomorrow. I slept thinking about that.
The next day I had my breakfast and after giving medicines to Dad I was sitting with him in the living room. I was applying for a job interview in a company when Dad asked
Dad "So applying in Grayson Company? "
Aden "Yeah Its really a leading group of companies. Their policies for employees are so delicate. I like it. "
Dad "The owner of the company is a good friend of mine. I can talk to him."
Aden "Then I am not gonna apply here."
Dad " Okay okay I promise I won't say anything. I won't tell anybody. If they call you for the interview it would be really an honor because the CEO of the company is really strict. This company always hires very much competitive people."
Aden "That's good Dad. I would be happy if I get a chance in this company. But please you won't ask them for it. I wanna do it by myself."
Dad "Okay I won't do it. But you would tell me if you need any help. Please."
Aden "That day won't come."
Dad "Hope so."
I smiled and after applying to some other companies I was tired.I was thinking of searching for her. I went back to my room. I was searching for her on Social accounts but before I found anything my annoying younger brother again interrupted.
I was really mad at him but he was asking me to go out in the evening with him. Although I didn't want to I agreed. I had my lunch and in the evening I went out with him.
I called Harry and my other friends too. After having dinner together we went for getting drinks in a bar. I didn't want to drink but they forced me and after some time I was totally drunk. They were dancing and after some time I was forcing all of them to come out. No one was able to get up.
It was really difficult for me to take them out. After getting in the car I was about to drive when Harry stopped me. He wasn't much drunk so he was driving. I was arguing with him that he should have let me drive. We were still fighting when our car bumped with another one in front of us.
Aden "Look what have you done! Now go and explain to the driver that you are not drunk."
Harry "Just shut up. You were distracting my mind with your illogical arguments."
He went out and My eyes were closing but I heard a familiar voice. I opened my eyes and was trying to clear my blurry vision and I had seen Audrey standing and was arguing with Harry.
I opened my car door and went out.
Audrey "Let me call the police for this. You were drunk. Who is gonna pay for my loss?"
Harry was trying to explain but she wasn't giving him a single moment to explain.
Aden "We will pay for your loss."
As she saw me.
Audrey "Aden Is this you! What are you doing here?"
Aden "Yeah. How are you? Sorry, it is my fault. I was arguing with him so he wasn't able to concentrate."
Audrey "You are drunk too."
Aden "We will pay for your loss. "
Audrey "Actually it is not my car. It is of Mel. You know she already hates you a lot."
Aden "Oh that's great. "
Audrey "What do you mean?"
Aden "Where is she? Isn't she with you?"
Audrey "Yeah she is in the car. But don't you go there. She had already been burning with anger because of you since yesterday. What have you done to her? She was much furious."
Aden "Didn't she tell you what happened?"
Audrey "No. She didn't say anything but I just knew that she was annoyed because of you."
Aden Bruce POVShe was telling me about her and I was taking steps towards the car.Audrey "Aden please I don't want a scene here at this time of night."Aden "Don't worry I won't bother her. I will apologize. "She didn't say anything and was standing there and I opened front door and she almost fell out of the car but I held her. She was sleeping on front seat.She was holding a beer bottle. I was trying to take it and she opened her eyes and God those Alcholic eyes were killing me. She was trying to believe that it was me.Mel "Bravo Now You are looking just like him Audrey. God this man had collapsed my senses."I smiled listening to that. So She was thinking that she was imagining my face. I was caressing her hair and was setting her disorganized hair strands.Mel "I hate him. I really hate this person.I hope I never had gotten in that flight."These words shook my heart. I was considering th
Aden Bruce POVI was calling her and she wasn't picking up my call. I then sent her the car picture and I called her.Aden "Happy now? I have just sold out my kidney for your car."Mel "That's good. Give it to my driver. He would call you."Aden "Not at all. I am coming to your house. What about having a dinner together?"Mel "You wish."She disconnected the call after that harsh tone. I went to her house. I stopped the car and called her.Aden "I am here my love. Come outside I am dying to see you."She disconnected the call and I was standing outside the car holding the bouquet. She came out of her house with red face. She came near me.Mel "How dare you call me your love? Give me the keys and get lost."I knew she would react like that. I was holding the bouquet and I stretched my arms and I wanted to give it to her.Aden "I am sorry"Her reaction changed and she was looking at me curiously.
Aden Bruce POVFor the first time I looked inside the house. Her living room was a mess. It felt like she had been throwing the stuff to overcome her anger or frustration.There was a beer bottle too. She had been drinking it too. But it wasn't empty yet. She was drinking it right before I called her. I looked at her and she was closing her eyes and was sleeping peacefully on my Heart.I smiled and lifted her immediately in my arms. I was looking for her bedroom and I entered in. I placed her on the bed and placed the blanket on her.I sat down holding her hand. I kissed her hand. I was thanking God for saving me from doing anything. I didn't want to take advantage of her in her weak moments. I wanted her more than anything else but I wanted her love and I wanted her to feel the same for me.I didn't want her to regret. She had been so bold and brave infront of me till the day I met her in flight. Even I kissed her in the car stil

But before I entered I heard someone calling me it was none other than Harry.Aden "Hey. What are you doing here? Did Mom call you? "He gave me a weird expressionHarry " I must be the one asking this question. What are you doing here in my office?"I was surprised.Aden "Your office? You work here. Why didn't you tell me?"He was killing me by his death glare.Harry "Seriously Man. You didn't listen to me that day. Did you?"I remembered that day. Off course I didn't hear anything. I was lost in my thoughts.Aden "Oh I am so sorry. I got call for interview."He was happy for me. And we entered the office building. The empire was astonishing. The whole setup was quite impressive. Harry went to his floor immediately. He was getting late and I went to the top floor for the inte
Aden Bruce POVMel "Get Lost Idiot, nonsense, jerk. "She would have killed me with her anger. I picked up my file and almost ran out of her office. After coming out I slightly opened her office door and looked in.She was again holding her head.Aden "Have your breakfast My love. You are having urge to eat something."I closed the door and she was shouting in her anger and was abusing me. Her secretory was looking at me as if asking me what did I do?.Aden "Your Boss has gone mad. She is hungry. She wants to have breakfast now."She was still looking at me weirdly.Aden "Didn't you hear? Order her breakfast now."My tone was serious within a second and she called for her breakfast. I went down and called Harry. He was looking at my wet shirt.Harry "You threw water on your shirt? My boss must have hated you. She hates careless people."I smiled and he was again giving me that curious look.
Aden Bruce POVWhen he said his girlfriend I wanted to smash him badly but after the car stopped he was looking at me as if wanting explanation for my careless act.I realized I was overreactingAden "Sorry. What were you saying? "Alex "Actually she was my girlfriend. We had a breakup and I was trying to calm her anger for me but It seems like I took too long to come back."I felt relieved hearing that and I unintentionally saidAden " Oh that's great"Alex " What do you mean by that?"Aden "I mean if she don't want you in your life you shouldn't bother her. Let her live her life happily. You should move on too."Alex "I can't do that. I left her once and I regret those moments. I know I did wrong but She still loves me.

Aden Bruce POVI went near her and I rolled her chair and she was facing me. That Moment I said so many things to her through my eyes. Strangely she didn't react much. I sat down on my knees in front of her. I held her hand and she was just looking at me and was trying to understand.Aden "Look Mel I know I wasn't good to you. I was a jerk. I am sorry for that. But I promise I won't bother you from now on. I can't see you getting weak like this. Be strong like You were yesterday. I know you had been through a lot and I can't change your past but I promise I will make your present and your future more beautiful. I don't know how would I do that but I know if you would be with me I will manage everything. Its my last chance to be with you. Please at least give me sometime to prove myself.

Aden Bruce POVI was trying to focus on my work. I didn't want to make her regret her decision. That man was telling me about my job and then he handed over me some files and asked me to go through them before starting my work.I hated reading but I read it for my love. I was busy reading that when someone knocked the door and entered my cabin. It was a man not too young not too old.I didn't realize that he was Charles Grayson until I noticed his eyes. Mel eyes were just like him. I said hello to him and he sat down. He didn't say anything and was looking at me and That was an awkward situation for me.Charles "So you like my daughter?"Such a blunt question. I was nervousAden "Yes Sir."Charles "Are you sure you really love her?"Aden "What do you mean by that?"Charles "It could be just attraction and you named it love?"Aden "Attraction can't be this much lingering. I am loving her since the night I met her.
Melody Grayson POV Everything was so peaceful and calm and Aden's energy was draining my energy daily. He wasn't caring whether we were in our lawn or in the water or in the kitchen. He was just loving me crazily. I was really feeling shy sometime but he didn't care. He was enjoying teasing me. We used to play games and it was a rule that whoever would win he/she would be the king/queen for that day and the other one would follow the orders no matter what. I lost in the game that day and he ordered me not to wear any clothes. Not even my undergarments and I was roaming around in mansion like that. He didn't let me wear anything all day and the nights were already like that. But he was happy and I was satisfied seeing that. Although he used to get angry whenever I asked him to join his Dad business. That day he told me that he had a surprise for me and I really wondered what was that.

He was really frustrated and I knew how much lonely he had been last month.I wasn't able to tell him how much love and respect he had earned in my heart because of his trust and faith in me. I trusted him blindly but I would have never been so brave to fight with my own family for him.But there he was leaving everything behind just for me. He was sitting there holding his head when He got a call and he finally smiled. Oh God I was dying to see him happy.

I opened that and there was a pair of lingeries and night suit.Alex "I love black color. Now if you don't mind can you please change the dress now? I can't wait."I never wanted to do that. I never imagined I would that for anyone else except Aden. I mustered up some courage and went into the washroom for changing. I was trying to waste as much time as I could. He called me once but I didn't respond. I thought I would go out when he would call me again.I was staying in since half an hour and he didn't call me again. I thought he might have slept.
