The Millionaire´s Enigma Gifts
As the weeks went by, Arya felt an increasingly strong attraction to Ayden. Every so often, she would lie in the bedchamber, thinking that maybe he would fall in love with her. But there was a problem, he would not allow her to get any closer to him than she should.“Tonight, I'm going out to dinner with some coworkers” Arya warns Ayden who gives her a sidelong glance.“Tonight, we have the appointment with the gynecologist. Did you forget?” he asks disdainfully.Arya is stunned for a moment and then pulls out her phone. Ayden is right.“Sorry, I thought it was tomorrow, then no problem I'll postpone dinner,” she assures her and puts the cell phone back in her work bag.Her already bulging belly makes her look tender and motherly.“Did she let you sleep?” asks Ayden when he sees her dark circles under her eyes.“A little, almost in the wee hours of the morning, I fell asleep when I the least thought it was time to get up,” clarifies Arya running her hand over her belly. Ayden looks at

Arya told him about her family, and about her former best friend, whom she hadn't heard from in months. Which made her suspicious that she had been the one who ratted her out to her brother Jeff."And the lord doesn't get mad because you're friends with Mark?" asks Cathy innocently."He doesn't, he knows he's my boss and that's all he needs to know. One day, I'll leave and not come back" she declares sadly."You really won't come back?" asks Cathy."I won't, it's part of the agreement, what's more, I don't even know if I'll be able to meet the baby when it's born," she confesses resignedly at that. She's been thinking about it for a while, but is encouraged to talk it over with Ayden."What if one day she wants another child?" asks Cathy."Well, I don't know, maybe she'll get another surrogate mom," she says with a laugh."Oh... well, in any case I should stay close by in case she offers," she comments without malice, but Arya feels a pang of jealousy.She has not at all liked Cathy i

Cathy had proven to be a good masseuse, helping Arya with foot pain as well as back pain.In the evenings, when she came home from work, after a shower, she would show her how to do certain pelvic exercises that would help at the time of delivery. However, there was something she didn't like. Every time they left their room for dinner, she noticed how it was that Cathy watched Ayden."Not that he is mine, but I carry his child in my womb, at least that should stop the girl a bit in her mental fantasies about the millionaire," she thinks when she notices how the young redhead sighs in front of her at the table.Ayden behaved with Cathy as he never or very rarely did with Arya. He was friendly and attentive to the flame-haired girl. That inflamed the doctor-in-training, for she saw that she would never have the body that Cathy had, as Cathy took the time to train and exercise, while Arya barely survived the workdays."How did it go today, Arya?" asks Cathy casually

Arya notices how Ayden's chest rises and falls with every breath he takes. She admires him, and he notices it, but doesn't say anything to her."Okay… I wanted to talk to you about the car," she confesses."What's wrong with it?" he asks, confused."It's getting harder and harder for me to get in and out, it's too tall for me. Look at me." he points comically at her body. "I'm short, I can barely climb it."Ayden laughs a little, but not so much as to offend her."You're perfect, Arya," he says first not realizing what he's said, then resumes his aloof attitude. "That I can easily fix, no problem.""Thank you," she says, then tries to stand up.Ayden walks over to her and offers her a hand, she takes it, and then they both feel electricity travel through their bodies. It is the law of attraction that makes them compatible. Once Arya is on her feet, he immediately lets's go of her."Good night, Ayden," she says with a smile on her lips.

Ayden, annoyed with Cathy because she has dared to touch him, confronts him. "I don't know what made you think you could touch me, Miss Sullivan, but don't let it happen again," he warns with a certain imposing air that provokes fear in her. "I'm I'm sorry… I thought we were having a good time," she clarifies, feigning shyness. "Having a good talk doesn't mean I'm pretending to, so put those ideas out of your head," she says firmly. "And please don't give unmistakable signals to Arya, I remind her that you are at her service as much as I am. She carries my child in her womb, and therefore we are at her beck and call, do not disturb her," he says this punctuating each word sternly. "All right, Ayden," she replies resignedly. "Mr. Emory, for you," he says, taking distance. "For today you may retire, good night." Sebas, who was patiently waiting for the moment, hands the suitcase to the girl, showing his impatience for her to leave. She d

She herself has been a victim of his explosive emotions and volatile temper, but it's not as if she's the best process partner either."We all have our tempers, Mark," she points out earnestly, causing him to stop laughing.At that point, dinner arrives and they switch conversations. In the end, they agree that she will think about the proposal and let Ayden know."Maybe he'll let me stay, and I can see the boy once in a while" she muses excitedly as she takes a cab to the apartment.Meanwhile, John, who at the request of his boss, follows at a distance."Sir, Miss Harley has arrived at the apartment," the chauffeur and bodyguard announces to Ayden by call."Do you have what I asked for?" he asks."Yes, sir, but you won't like it, "he warns cautiously."That's none of your business, send them to me now!" he demands angrily, Arya tends to bring out her best side as well as her wildest.John does as she asks and withdraws to stand guard, wo

Arya had hidden herself in a hotel not far from where she was, she just wanted a moment of peace, and she was going to take advantage of it since it was the weekend.She had packed her work suitcase with a few clothes and her important documents. Although he left a note for Ayden, he suspected that she would not take it well. However, she was so overwhelmed by his games of “You're mine", "Don't trust Mark", "You can't go out", etc.... that she only needed to tell him she couldn't breathe.She was grateful that he was driving her to and from work, but it got to a point where it was suffocating for her. Although if she didn't see him, she missed him. She felt confused, and so she had to keep her distance."I'm becoming dependent on him and when I have to leave, who will help me take care of my broken heart?" thought Arya as she lay back on the mattress."Easy beautiful baby, you will have a father who will love you and protect you very much "she says

He finishes dressing immediately, calls John from home and tells him to go get a new cell phone. At the store, they asked him to come back in an hour and that everything will be installed and updated.Simultaneously, he walks around to see if he can find Arya by chance, but he does not. Then he remembers that sometimes she used to go for a walk in Central Park, so he goes in the hope of finding her.The day is perfect, it is not so cold that people try to stay indoors. Christmas is approaching, and he realizes he hasn't even bought a gift for Arya or his future child.As he goes along and perhaps because he is looking for someone pregnant, he notices how many women are lying pregnant. The vast majority with their partners, friends or family."Maybe this is what she was seeing, they are all accompanied while she walks alone" she muses, realizing that she has not been perfect company for Arya the last few months."In less than three months she'll be

"Mom, I'm ready!" Aryehn shouts from somewhere in the house."Get in the car, Henry is already waiting for us," Arya replies.Aryehn grabs his phone and heads out of the mansion to the front entrance. Before leaving, he checks his notifications and reads a message from his father saying that he's already waiting for them at the main venue."Mom, Dad is already waiting for us!" Aryehn exclaims, making sure his suit is properly adjusted.Arya comes down in her burgundy dress, fitted at the bust and loose at the waist down to the knees."Mom, you look gorgeous!" Aryehn says, approaching her to kiss her on the cheek. "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. Arya watches him with pride, happy to see him so content.Henry opens the limousine's door, and they get in. The escorts follow them in another car behind, but they ignore t

"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. The officers try to pull her away, but it's impossible; she holds onto her brother tightly.Jeff groans, and she hears him clearly."He's alive!" she shouts to no one in particular. Paramedics arrive and approach him to provide assistance.Mark takes advantage of the distraction and elbows the police officer who is about to handcuff him. He grabs the gun lying at his feet and aims it at Arya. Ayden watches in a blur as Mark raises the gun.The police officer, wiping his nose, Mark with the gun aimed at Arya, and Ayden firing at him in the chest, right in the heart, his half-brother.Mark falls to the ground like a d
The Millionaire´s Enigma History, Part 1
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
The Millionaire´s Enigma My World
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
The Millionaire´s Enigma He's a Damn Freak
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
The Millionaire´s Enigma What You See Is Not What There Is
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 Millionaire´s Enigma Deals
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
