Five years have passed since the last time Ayden Emory saw Arya Harley. He knew she was studying abroad, but never where. She had made a separate agreement to never disclose her location to the millionaire. Checking social media was useless, she wasn't on it. Searching for her was futile, as if she had vanished like foam in the sea.

"Miss Edwards, you have a phone call," his assistant announces at the door. "It's from Mark Emory."

"Please put him through. Close the door, Dalila, please," she kindly requests.

"Hey Annie!" Mark greets her when she answers.

"Hey, Mark, how's everything going?" she inquires while pretending to brush imaginary lint off her tight skirt under her doctor's coat.

Mark didn't usually often call, but when he did, she usually answered.

"Here, waiting for you to tell me when you'll be in New York," he comments, hoping she'll say the same day.

Annie Edwards laughs shamelessly.

"Nice joke," she says. "You should come here for a couple of days instead. I'm free next

She blocks her thoughts to be able to attend to him.Ayden hears her and thinks that maybe he is mistaken. "But it's her voice," he muses as he realizes that her hair is now completely blonde. He can't see her face directly, so he doubts that he hasn't hallucinated.Annie begins to give orders to the surrounding nurses. The paramedic informs her of what they gave him and she completes the treatment.

    "What are you doing here? How did you find me?" Arya asks with a shocked expression on her face. She could expect the president to come and visit her, but never Ayden Emory."I just had to look up 'Annie Edwards' in the hospital directory to find your information," he confesses, still holding on to the door frame. "Nice name, by the way. Won't you invite me in?""I see your stalking tendencies haven't gone away," she remarks with a serious expression. "And you still haven't answered my question. What are you doing here?""I came to talk," he responds, lowering his arms and letting them drop to his sides. Ayden holds on to hope that she will behave amiably and that they can have a mature conversation."I'm sorry, my consultation hours are from 8 to 2, Monday through Friday," she announces irreverently.Arya tries to close the door, but he stops her."Do you really? You don't feel curious about knowing things about your son?" he questions, not believing Arya's insensitivity. He takes a

    Capítulo 39 ¡Like Superman!"Good morning, champion!" Ayden greets his son and goes to his side to hug him."Daddy!" responds the little boy with golden brown curls, raising his arms for his father to hold him."Do you remember the doctor?" asks Ayden."The pretty doctor!" says the boy, smiling at her.Arya is excited to hear it; he called her beautiful without knowing she is his mother. Ayden smiles in approval."I couldn't agree more with you, Ary," says Ayden in complicity with his son."How do you feel today, Aryehn?" she asks, already knowing that his name is a mix of both names."I'm good, I'm strong," the boy responds, showing his tiny arm as a sign of that.This brings a smile full of mixed emotions to the doctor's face. Having Ayden and his son in front of her is not what she expected it to be."I have to go, but I'll be back later," she declares with a lump in her throat. "Take care of yourself, okay, and take care of your dad, he can be clumsy sometimes," she says, addressi

    Arya had resisted the urge to confess to the little one that she was his mother. Once she moved away from him, she hurriedly left the room. Dr. Evans apologized on behalf of both and followed her out. As soon as they found an empty room, they locked themselves in."Sorry, Robyn!" she says, breaking into tears.She covers her face with both hands while she cries.Robyn Evans hugs her, and she wraps her arms around him. It's something they had done before, and neither feels uncomfortable. He, handsome and chivalrous, has always kept his distance."Don't apologize. Now I understand why it's so hard to get that man out of your mind," he whispers, holding her. She laughs a little and sniffs."I'll let you fantasize about him, as long as you promise not to divorce me," Arya laughs at her friend's nonsense and steps back."Thank you, Robyn," she says, touching his arms. "You always make me laugh when I need it."He smiles knowingly, but then the door opens with unexpected force.Ayden Emory

    The restaurant has a beautiful terrace overlooking the sea."I know I've already told you, but you look gorgeous," Ayden compliments her again."Thank you, you don't have to keep saying it," she comments. "You're not obligated to anything. You know that.""It's not out of obligation, I genuinely have always believed you're beautiful," he confesses, pausing to take a sip from his wine glass. "Since the first time I saw you at the restaurant for the interview. A bit irreverent, but beautiful," he laughs with a hint of embarrassment.Arya looks at him, not fully believing it."I don't believe you, you barely saw me," she recalls."True, maybe I didn't keep my eyes fixed on you, but I did see you, especially when you left," he confesses, and she looks scandalized, causing him to laugh. "That's why I invited you to my apartment, to talk.""Oh... it's hard to believe. Back then, I was a bundle of nerves and bones," she reminisces sadly. "There wasn't much to see in my rear."Ayden laughs. I

She spends the whole morning with Robín in a toy store."I don't think it's a good idea... What if I end up bringing him one he doesn't like?" she asks her friend, who is already tired of hearing her."You know what, I'm leaving," he says, exhausted. "I'll go explore New York. You can stay here and look for what you need. If you don't know what to bring, ask other moms. The place is full of them," he points around and realizes it's true."Sorry for dragging you into this," she apologizes to her colleague. "I'll see you at dinner. If you get lost, let me know, and I'll come get you.""If I get lost, let it be in the arms of a handsome New Yorker," he murmurs, laughing so that the other shoppers don't hear him. Arya laughs and lets him go.Once alone, she checks on her iPhone what she can bring for a five-year-old boy. After a few minutes alone, browsing the internet, she feels ove

    Arya waits for Ayden and their little son to leave. Meanwhile, she takes a deep breath and goes in search of Sebas."I thought maybe you had left here," she comments, surprising him. "What's there to eat?""Hey, hello... Bea won't be long bringing the food," he replies excitedly. "How are things going with..." he points to the ceiling, referring to the people upstairs."I can't believe it, it's been a surprise to find them... to see my son," she confesses, leaning on the kitchen counter with her head in her hands and elbows on the countertop. "It's the most wonderful thing that has happened to me. I barely know him and I already love him.""He's your son, Arya," Sebas comments, looking at her tenderly. "He constantly asks about his mother. By now, he probably imagines it's you, just with blonde hair.""I wonder if he wanted me to be his mom! Of course, at that time I didn't know he was my son, but now that I know, I would like to tell him," she exp

"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!"

    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 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

    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 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?"
