"I don't really care what you do or don't do with her," she says, trying to sound serious. "You're single, a millionaire, handsome, you could practically ask for any woman, and she'd fall at your feet."
"You say you don't care, and you make jealous scenes for me… it's incongruous what you say, Arya," Ayden remarks.
Arya squints her eyes as if she wants to kill him.
"You, you are incongruous, you asked me not to get close to Mark, you agreed you wouldn't get close to Cathy. You said you'd support me, and what do you do the first chance you get to prove you're a gentleman who keeps his promises? You go on a bender with "Cathy". Don't fuck with the incongruity because the incongruent one is not me, it's you. And it's not jealousy… you wish."
Ayden studies her intently.
"Like I said, you're a shrew when you put your mind to

It was mid-afternoon when Arya received a call from Mark, taking advantage of Ayden's virtual meeting with Daniel in his office. She decided to take it in her relaxation room."Yes, Mark. What do you think about what I sent you?" she inquired with great concern."Hello, I've talked to both the head of cardiac surgery and the specialist oncologist, and they mutually agree that chemotherapy or radiation therapy in your mother's condition could be very aggressive," he commented with his characteristic professional tone. Upon hearing this, Arya slumped her shoulders. "However, all hope is not lost. The Spaniards are conducting an experimental treatment that basically involves combining several immunotherapy drugs.""Are you proposing that we take my mother to Spain?" she asks, confused and hopeful. "I don't think she can handle so many hours of flying.""No, Arya. What I recommend and Dr. Jones suggests is that we perform the treatment here. One of his colleagues was

"I made the bread and butter that she likes so much," she adds, and at that Sebas enters with the basket of freshly baked bread."Thank you, Bea, thank you!" she thanks excitedly, takes a roll, breaks it up, dips it in the sauce and pops it in her mouth. "Wow... this is... heaven."The diners around her laugh under their breath, but Ayden remains awed by Arya's presence. When he met her, she was in the bones, he knows she has gained a couple of pounds that, instead of detracting from her beauty, have done her good, she looks healthy, and he loves to see how she enjoys these small pleasures that for many only go unnoticed."I love to see that you like what you eat," Ayden murmurs, feeling pleased, after asking her many times to feed."You should see what I see, you would also feel delighted as much as I do," she replies, making a slight flirtation.Ayden swallows hard and moves closer to her ear."I already am," she confesses.Arya's cheeks flush qu

Jeffrey Harley's arrival at the home of the arrogant and unfriendly, Ayden Emory, has meant a superhuman amount of patience not to take him out immediately.The millionaire watched Arya and how she is despite the worry, liked to see her mother happy.

All because Jeff, her brother, had confessed to his bodyguards.When they finished dinner, both Sam and Bruno retired to sleep, as did Daniel at home, thus leaving the couples in the living room."Tell me Arya, where will they do your mother's treatment," her father says in a demanding tone.Jeffrey had never been a man of many words, he was surly and seemed to have a hard time showing even a little affection to anyone but Jeff."At the hospital where I do my internship," she answers with such solemnity that it seems as if she's standing in front of a courtroom."Are you sure your mom will be saved?" he inquires, causing Mirella to stare at him in astonishment.

"You won't be, Arya," he asserts. "The way you say it, I know you will never be your mother. You're Arya, you're better than them.""Thank you," she muses with a tender smile on her lips.She was thinking of him too. She knows that what Ayden has given her are crumbs that lead her nowhere. Furthermore, she considers him to be she sleeps, and when she wakes, and he is gone."Crumbs…" she repeats and goes to her mother to see her. "Good morning, Mom," Arya greets as she enters.Mirella, lying face down, her face looks swollen from where she is."Mama, Mama!" she exclaims in fright and walks to her side.Sebas, hearing her, as well as Sam and Bruno, arrive immediately.Mirella lies beaten about the face, lip split, naked and with bruises on her body. Arya covers her again, imagining the worst. Bea walks over and sees, pulling everyone out of the room."Sebas, call Mr. and John.""Oh my God..." whisper, Sam and Bruno. "We have to get her to a hospital.""No... no" Mirella says between whi

Arya had chatted with her mother about the treatment and its possible consequences. Mirella was willing to fight for her daughter, and her future grandchild."I feel I have failed you, I'm sorry I let your father stay… I just wanted to see him," Mirella hones in with a squeezed heart."Never mind mother, what's done is done," replies Arya, wanting to settle that matter. "Which reminds me…"The young woman stands up and walks to her dresser, rummages through her clothes, and doesn't feel the sock with the money in it. She breaks out in a cold sweat and feels as if the floor at her feet is opening up."Damn…" she mutters in despair, emptying everything on the floor. "It's gone, Mom... the treatment money is gone."She doesn't have to specify anything, Mirella knows Jeffrey has taken it."I'm sorry, so much... sorry Arya, I didn't realize, if you had told me, I..." rambles Mirella without finishing the sentence.She throws herself on the floor and helps to look for her daughter, but find

"Tell me, it doesn't matter, if it's here, in your living room, in the company. In due time, you're going to tell me," he comments sardonically."Well, I know Arya said she would rather not get married. But if you want to secure your future, you have to convince her.""Dad, you heard her, she doesn't want to, and to be honest with you, neither do I," he replies flatly."I don't understand why, if she's good for you, and you're good for her, what's to stop you from getting married?"Ayden, who can't bring herself to explain the real -why- to her father, takes another tack."Let's just say that neither of us believed in what you call the "institution of marriage," he explains, hoping that enough for his father. "We're both functioning fine, as we are.""And you're fine with that? Your children would be illegitimate!" she exclaims vehemently.Ayden tries to stifle a smile, but he's actually starting to get annoyed."Okay, I'll see her about it wh

Gerard was not satisfied with Ayden's response. He had strong suspicions that he was lying, just like Arya. When he searched for information about her, he found only the basics, and that was something that fascinated him. How had they met?Despite his pleas for Ayden to move forward in his relationship with her, he remained hesitant. Knowing his son as a passionate person who got what he wanted when he wanted it.Through Mark, he had learned about Arya's mother's deteriorating health. He knew that her father was a gambler and that her brother was a fourth-rate mafioso. He didn't like the look of the family, but the young woman was charming, he couldn't deny that.When he arrived at reception, he didn't need an introduction, everyone in the building knew him, as he owned half of it.

Ayden didn't want to go back to the doctor's office. Arya was already seven months pregnant and people kept coming in and out of his house, making him feel like they needed more rooms. He had discussed it with Daniel, and it was something he wanted to do."There's your grandparents' house," his lawyer suggests. "It's still unsold, and I think we could adapt it for them to move in.""Okay, that sounds perfect. Talk to the real estate agent and come to an agreement with her," Ayden says as he sips his drink. "Oh, and there's something important I need to tell you.""Tell me, I'm all ears," says Daniel."It's about Arya," the millionaire says, rubbing his temple. "Her father still hasn't shown up.""Did you send someone to look for him? I assumed she filed a report," Daniel asks."She did?" Ayden asks, surprised."Yes, you were in Spain and I advised her to do it. But hey, if he doesn't show up, it's better, don't you think?" Daniel emphasizes.A

"Are we ready to go?""Yes, everyone is waiting for us there," she affirms, taking the arm her son offers.Aryehn has grown into a handsome seventeen-year-old, chivalrous and formal, just like his father.

"He escaped last night, but we didn't realize it until this morning," the detective says. "We were following him, and he left clues, as if he knew this was going to happen."Arya remembers her brother telling her that he would take care of it, and seeing him lifeless is something she never wanted to happen."Jeff, no!" Arya screams, throwing herself onto his lifeless body.

Five days earlier"What's on your mind?" Daniel asks when he sees his friend lost in thought."Mark's mother had a necklace with a ruby. I have no idea what happened to it," Ayden says, frowning, and as soon as the words leave the millionaire's mouth, Daniel feels a chill run down his spine. "Now, more than ever, I suppose Mark has something to do with this.""You're giving him too much credit; he's an idiot," the lawyer says disdainfully, not trying to imagine what he thinks he's imagining. "You know, he can hardly run that hospital. If it weren't for his assistant, it would collapse."Daniel can't pay attention to what's happening; he urgently needs to leave and check if the necklace his wife has is the same one his friend is talking about."Gabriel, it's Daniel, something urgent has come up, can you go for Arya and let her know what's going on? Ayden doesn't want her to find out through the media or let their son know what's happening," he informs while using the hands”free functio

Ayden and John take refuge in George's apartment, unable to maintain communication with the outside world."Sir, it's on all the news channels," John comments while continuously flipping through channels."I know, now it will be almost impossible for me to go out. No one can see us," Ayden affirms with an idea forming in his mind. "Besides, the fact that Daniel is missing. We should go look for him.""Not right now, sir, we need to hide," John explains, standing up. "It's best if we don't go back to your house, at least not until it gets dark.""You can stay here as long as you like," George says, taking out a couple of waters and snacks from the fridge. "I live alone, so no one will know you're here."Both John and Ayden exchange glances and accept. After all, they need some rest before venturing out again."Alright, after all, we've hardly slept. A little sleep will do us good," Ayden says, sinking into the sofa."At the end of the hallway, the door on the right is the guest bedroom

Mark's voice echoed loudly in Arya's ear, and she felt disgusted just hearing it."Is something wrong? You don't seem to want to answer," he inquired, feigning concern."Hello, Mark, it's not that. You caught me at a busy time," she lied, hoping he would hang up."I'm sorry; I just wanted to talk and see how you're doing. I heard about the attack and the blame on Ayden; it's all over the news now," he explained in a tone that almost convinced her. "Turn on the TV; it's on every news channel."Arya felt her heart start pounding in her chest. She felt anxious for Ayden, rushed to the living room, and turned on the television, desperately searching for a news channel. The anchor had a photo of her husband on the screen."I told you; it's all over the news," Mark repeated. "Please, tell my brother to be careful. I'll try to keep track of you, but you know I'm short-staffed and can't be in two places at once. Nevertheless... we have a pending conversation, remember?"Arya was taken by surp
The Millionaire´s Enigma Calculated Casualness
Arya woke up with her son on her mind, an unhealthy concern gripping her as she rushed to Aryehn's room to check on her little one. She opened the door to find him curled up in the middle of his bed. Cautiously, she approached and settled beside him to give him a hug.Aryehn, sensing her presence, turned and nestled against her side."Mommy, I love you," the half-asleep boy murmured, hugging his mother."I love you too, my beautiful boy," Arya replied, holding him close. Over the years, the fear of not seeing him again had been overwhelming. But now that they were together, the fear of losing him paled in comparison to what she had felt before.While Arya contemplated what her husband might be doing at that moment, she allowed herself to enjoy this precious moment with her son. It wasn't until an hour later that Aryehn woke up fully, and they headed downstairs for breakfast."Good morning, Miss Harley," Tim greeted, emerging from his hiding spot and catching Arya off guard."You start

After such a shocking confession, Arya, with her heart equally heavy for her husband, hugged and comforted him until he fell asleep in her arms. Feeling him so vulnerable only fueled her irritation towards Mark.She thought about all the times she had been alone with Mark and regretted every moment of it. Deep within her soul, she lamented her stubbornness. Lost in thought, she fell into a deep sleep, unaware when Ayden woke up in the early morning to leave.He watched her in amazement, observing how she clung to the pillow, burying her nose to catch his scent on the fabric. Ayden couldn't quantify the love he felt for her, but he knew he would do anything for their son and Arya.Silently, he left the room, making his way downstairs to his office before exiting through the secret door into the hallway that led to the bunker."Hello, John," he greeted his bodyguard when he saw him leaning against the wall, finishing a cigarette. "Do you know anything about our escape?"John took out on

Ayden Emory was concerned about Arya's safety. He had provided a lot of security for her, yet the feeling of unease wouldn't leave his body. He feared for her and their son."Sir, everything is ready for us to leave whenever you order," John reported over the phone."We'll leave before four in the morning; we need to be in her building before she wakes up and have everything set up," Ayden declared, following the plan."Understood. I'll make some final arrangements for our fake flight tonight," John said before saying goodbye and hanging up.Ayden Emory was worried about the safety of his now wife and son. He knew Arya didn't adhere to the recommended security measures because she didn't care much about her own safety."Sir, everything is ready for tonight," John informed over the phone. "The van is loaded with everything we need to install the cameras in Mark's building.""Great, we'll leave in the early morning. We need to enter the building before my brother leaves so we can verify

The morning was very cold. Aryehn was still asleep, so they brought the baby monitor to the living room to hear in case he woke up.Gabriel was at the front door early in the morning, waiting for someone to open it. Henry, in charge of house security, now had to report the arrival of visitors to Arya first, to see if she authorized them or not."Miss Arya, Mr. Specter is already at the entrance. Should I let him in?" he asked with great formality as she descended the stairs."Yes, please, have him come to the kitchen, Henry," she replied, walking directly to the coffee maker to prepare coffee. Ayden joined her a few minutes later, just as Gabriel arrived."Good morning, sir, Mrs. Emory," the lawyer greeted with formality, shaking hands with the millionaire."Good morning, Gabriel, come in," Ayden indicated the chair in front of him in the dining room."Would you like coffee?" Arya asked, pouring a cup for herself and another for Ayden."Yes, please," he said, taking a few folders from
