Zaiden Storm
Watching Aria falling down, that too on someone else's arms, was bothersome but it didn't matter because Aria lost consciousness. 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.

Chapter-22: Special FoodAria AnastasiaMy eyes jolted open, only to see the white ceiling. 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
The Secret Of My Boss Chapter-23: Like You
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

Chapter-24: Moment To CherishAria AnastasiaI have finally told Zaiden I liked him. I didn't know how he would respond to me. He was quiet after hearing me. In fact, he was looking at me blankly, as if I told him I was pregnant."Zaiden, are you okay?" I asked when he was quiet."Yeah," he answered curtly. I waited for him to say something else as a reply to my confession, but instead, he stood up. "Let's head back to the office and eat what you have cooked."My jaw dropped at his words. I just told him I liked him and he even didn't bother to reply. He simply avoided me.I knew I shouldn't have told him I liked him. He didn't feel the same for me. I was just an employee who used to call him by his first name and knew his

Chapter-25: An OccurrenceAria AnastasiaI wanted to stab Zaiden to death innumerable times.Yes, he was my boyfriend, but that didn't give him the right to call me into his cabin repeatedly during work hours.Now I was on my way to his cabin just to hand him my fountain pen because I forgot where he kept his one. I wonder what he would do with a fountain pen right now when he could simply use a fucking ball pen.I barged into his cabin without knocking on the door."Just because you are my girlfriend now, it isn't right to not knock before entering," came his voice.Rolling my eyes, I retorted, "Just because you are my boyfriend now doesn't mean you will treat me like a servant

Chapter-26: A Major ProblemZaiden StormI felt my heart clenching as I was waiting for Aria at the restaurant.Something felt unusual. Everything was going smoothly, but I could still feel something bad was happening, or something bad was about to happen. The last time I felt like this was when Lance got shot in his shoulder a year ago.Was Lance okay?I took my phone and dialed his number. He picked it up on the second ring."Bro, is something wrong?" came Lance's worried voice."No," I responded, getting confused if he was okay, then why I was feeling this way. "I just called you to ask whether you were okay or not."

Chapter-27: Tick-TockAria AnastasiaI opened my eyes, feeling the force of someone tying something on me. My eyes felt heavy, yet I had to see the face of the person who kidnapped me.My mouth wasn't closed with a gag, so I could clearly speak. The person who stopped tying something on me, and I couldn't protest since my hands were handcuffed, looked at me straight into my eyes.A gasp escaped my lips seeing the blue eyes. He was the same familiar person I had met in the grocery store—the man who was in his mid-forties. Why did he kidnap me?"Why did you kidnap me?" I couldn't help but ask.This old man who was like a father figure was the last person I hoped to be my kidnapper. He seemed like a nice person when he h

Chapter-28: Apart From Each OtherZaiden Storm"Where is my daughter, Zaiden? Did the kidnapper give you a call or sent you any message?" asked a stressed Amora whose tears were dried up now.She was sitting in front of me. Turned out that when she called me, she was here in California, that too in Aria's apartment. She wanted to surprise Aria today."Not yet, but we already got a clue of the kidnapper, so now we are trying to find more clues which would lead us to Aria," I told her.The kidnapper should be Luke Levi because I was the one who murdered his son. He definitely wanted to take revenge on me.Amora questioned me, "Will my daughter be okay, Zaiden? You will save her, won't you?"

Chapter-29: Truth From PastAria AnastasiaI had lost all the hope now. I was counting the seconds in my head ever since Luke said that I had thirty minutes left. Already twenty minutes was gone, and I had the last ten minutes before my death.This was how my death was written, so I had to face it. If only my hand wasn't handcuffed, I could've managed to get off the ropes. Luck wasn't on my side today.Suddenly, I could feel a familiar presence nearby; as if Zaiden was nearby. I looked around the room, but I couldn't look behind since I was tied, yet I tried to look around as much as I could. My tears had already dried off after too much crying.All of a sudden, my eyes fell on the door of the warehouse where I found Zaiden standing, wearing a dark gr

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. You can come on your own, can't you?” he replied.I stopped buttoning my light blue blouse and stared at myself in the mirror blankly. “Oh, ok

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

I'm your supervisor, not him,” I ordered Yana who quickly nodded and sauntered away.

In fact, another of his family get-together was around the corner.Even though it's been that long, it still felt surreal to be with Zaiden. 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. It helped us wrap up our work sooner and do whatever we want for the rest of the day.However, we would try to remain professional during our work

But as soon as her face landed on Zaiden and me, her lips curved up in a big smile.“You guys are here. 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. How have you been?” Zaiden replied.Th

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. He came over to my side and opened the door.I glared at him
