Aria Anastasia
Zaiden was taken aback at my question. I knew that it was an unexpected question, but I had to ask to be clear, because he was acting differently and so was I in some matters. What was going on with us? If he wasn’t my friend, then what were we?
Somewhere in my heart, I wanted him to answer what was going on in his heart. Also, I didn’t want him to answer because I was afraid of hearing it.
Sucking in a deep breath, Zaiden leaned closer to me, his arms still blocking me from both sides as his chest rubbed against my back. He said, “We are just two different people, working together with the same motive, which is to work for the welfare of the company.”

He was Kael’s close friend.Currently, I was sitting in the conference room along with Zaiden, Mr. Raymond, and his assistant who tagged along with him.Mr. Raymond gave us a bright smile, saying, “I have always counted on the two of you. You never disappointed me and that’s why we are still doing business. I feel like you both are my family now.”“Thank you,” I

Chapter-17: A Party To RememberAria AnastasiaI gasped at the beauty of the dress Zaiden had sent a few minutes ago. It was an off-shoulder red gown with a high slit at one side. It was a mystery how Zaiden knew my size.I was in my apartment since Zaiden gave all the employees a day off because he was in a good mood today.“Yana, just look at this dress,” I called out Yana’s name because she was also in my apartment. I told her to come here and we would get ready for the party together since we had to go together. I even bought a dress for her which she was going to wear.“Oh, my God,” Yana mumbled, her eyes ogling at the red gown which was on the b

Chapter-18: Avoidance MistakesAria AnastasiaMy goal for today: avoid Zaiden Storm.I won’t even be professional with him, I will simply avoid him.Last night, after he locked his lips with mine, I pushed him away and ran from there. I got home straight and went to sleep to keep my mind sound and clear. I knew running away wasn’t the right thing to do, but I had to do it.My mind went blank when his soft luscious lips met mine, and when I realized what was going on, the first thing I thought was to never appear in front of him again.Zaiden didn’t follow me, in fact, he didn&rsqu
The Secret Of My Boss Chapter-19: Realization
Chapter-19: RealizationAria AnastasiaI wiped the tears with the back of my hand, sucking in a deep breath. I was in the females’ washroom.Why was Zaiden’s scolding affecting me so much? It never made me feel this bad before. Him scolding me was nothing new, yet I was upset. I felt like curling myself in a ball and crying in one corner.This was the first time I made such a huge mistake, which would ruin the company. I have never been this much careless before. It was so foolish of me to do that. Getting distracted after a single kiss like a teenager, it was not my thing. It was not me. Just because Zaiden kissed me, it didn’t mean I should occupy my mind with the thoughts of him.

Her health came first to me."Aria," I called her name and ran to her. I wanted to catch her but she was too far away. In fact, I was grateful that Liam was there to hold her.I picked up Aria in my arms. Before Liam could utter a word, I told him, "Thank you for catching her. Call Daniel."He nodded and ran away.I felt my heart clenching at the sight. I placed her on the nearby waiting couch.

The familiar smell hit my nostrils and when I looked around, a groan escaped my lips.I was at the hospital, and I hated the smell of the hospital. It was nostalgic.However, I was feeling better now. My head felt lighter, and it was relieving for me. I tried to get up and sit, but it was troublesome for me. When I looked at the couch, there was no one in the room—not even Zaiden. I didn’t know why I was expecting him to be there. I knew that I liked him, but I didn’t know whether he had any romantic feelings for me.I tried to get up one more time and that was when

Chapter-23: Like YouAria AnastasiaI was walking on the road, leaving my car back in the office parking lot.I knew I should've asked Zaiden about the woman instead of running away from him, but I just couldn't tolerate their closeness. I have never felt like this. Earlier, women used to cling onto Zaiden and I didn't even bother to look at them. But today, I was upset seeing a little closeness between Zaiden and a woman whom I couldn't even see properly.Was that how liking someone felt like?I continued walking until there was a sudden thunder. The dark sky was sulking, just like me. The sky would cry as rain, and I would cry as tears.I didn't know why I felt like crying over this small issue. Maybe I was PMSing—t

The only thing that was roaming in my head was Zaiden's safety. Did he get shot by any of his enemies? Was he hurt? He only told me to help him and come to his mansion immediately.I parked my car in front of the gate and ran inside his mansion. I made my way to his bedroom without replying to the maids' greetings.“Zaiden?” I called out after opening the door to his room. He was nowhere in sight.

However, I didn't receive any texts from him today. That has never happened in the last six months of our dating. I wondered if he was feeling okay.“I am already at the office, Aria.

I touched up my light make-up and was ready to go.Today I was going to spend the whole day with Zaiden outside. We were supposed to do that last week, but I had to turn him down because I had to spend time with Freja, that's why he has been sulking the whole week. She went back to New York three days ago.I went to open the door and grinned seeing my handsome boyfriend at the doorstep with flowers in his hands. He seemed embarrassed about it.I arched an eyebrow teasingly and said, “What's this about, Mr. Storm?”&nbs

It was almost as if I was trapped in a bubble of dreams and it would burst with the lightest touch.Ever since we started dating, we would rarely argue. As we started to get to know each other even better, we would understand each other's point of view more easily.

Welcome, you two,” the woman exclaimed and rushed to give a hug to Zaiden. “Even though I saw you a month ago, it feels like forever, my son.”“I'm sorry I couldn't call you that often, Mom.

I wanted to strangle Zaiden for forgetting to inform me beforehand.By now, the shopping malls and stores were already closed. I would need to choose a nice dress from my closet now.I was tapping my foot out of anxiety when Zaiden pulled over the car near a shopping district, although the lights of most shops were out.
