I averted my gaze to avoid the intense moment.
"I meant why am I still handcuffed? Why aren't you letting me go?" I changed the topic because his reply was really giving me Deja vû. It was better to not talk about his reply anymore.
Zaiden let out a chuckle in amusement. "Even, I meant that if I free you without explaining everything to you, the first thing you will do is run away, and Lance will kill you for that. So I cannot afford to lose you otherwise, I have to tolerate a new MD."
I rolled my eyes. "You are selfish."
"Yeah, right," he deadpanned. Then he walked somewhere and came with a key to unlock the handcuff. "Just stay still," he ordered.

Chapter-8: A Face-TimeAria AnastasiaYesterday was indeed a rough day for me, but a new day was a new beginning. With that motivation, I was sitting on the chair in my cabin.I couldn't meet Lance after he left the room, and I felt bad for not having a proper meet-up. So I collected his number from Zaiden, deciding to text him when I had some free time.Being indulged in work, I was distracted up until my phone chimed. I took a look at it, only to find a text from Kael.Kael: Hello, my daughter. I am glad that you know it all. Now I don't have to feel guilty for hiding an important part a family should know.A smile formed on my lips as my fingers moved rapidly to reply to his text.Aria: Hey, Kael! I hope you

Chapter-9: Another SecretAria AnastasiaI was quietly eating with Zaiden after our food arrived.Apparently, he had booked for us at a restaurant before even asking me whether I had lunch or not. No wonder why he dragged me here to eat—in this fancy restaurant."Honestly speaking," I started to talk and broke the silence, "I don't like eating at fancy restaurants during the day."Zaiden was cutting his steak with a knife as he asked, "Why?""I don't know," I answered. "I prefer eating at these places during dinner only. For lunch, I prefer to eat in the cafeteria if I don't have a busy schedule. But if I have a busy schedule, I make Yana bring food from the office cafeteria for me."

Chapter-10: A New InternAria AnastasiaI felt my heart melt seeing those documents. I was having a sleepless night after I returned home from work. I left a text to Zaiden saying, 'I was home' but I didn't get a reply yet. Maybe he was really busy with the important work.Zaiden wasn't the cruel person I saw when he murdered someone. Rather, he was soft-hearted, just like Kael. How could I just see him as a murderer?Even after he saw me seeing the murder, he didn't yell at me for going into his cabin, nor did he lock me in a room until I agreed on keeping the secret. In fact, he just told me to ask him the questions I had in my mind and that he would clear it out. He never even tried to hurt me for once and explained everything to me calmly.He was

Chapter-11: A Little JealousyZaiden StormI was standing near the private elevator, waiting for Aria to come to the office. I would step into the elevator once I would spot her. After all, it was fun watching her run before the elevator door closed.She was smart, yet so foolish.A smile formed on my lips, remembering her. She was indeed unique.I glanced at the wristwatch, to see it was time for her to step into the office. When I looked at the direction of the reception, I saw Aria bumping into a guy, with whom she was talking now.I waited for her to end the conversation and come to me, but she was busy indulging in talks with him. I clenched my fist when she was laughing at his words. It

Chapter-12: PreciousAria AnastasiaAs soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I saw Zaiden standing at the entrance of the cafeteria. With a smile on my face, I was making my way to him, and that was when I saw a red dot light straight on his head as if someone was pointing a laser at him and didn't want him to notice.I followed the light and gasped when my eyes fell on a strange-looking person standing on the roof of the building next to us. He had a sniper in his hand, which was aimed at Zaiden. Was he about to shoot Zaiden?My heart started thumping in fear. I called out Zaiden’s name and ran to him as fast as I could. I pushed him to the ground without a second thought.Now, I was lying on top of Zaiden, his hands were on my w

Chapter-13: Workload IncreasedAria AnastasiaIt was night and I was lying on the bed, thinking about what had happened during the day. Why couldn’t I just control myself? Why did I have to tell him that he was precious? Why did I hug him in the first place?After I told Zaiden that he was precious, he excused himself to make a call and find out who wanted to kill him. He explained to me that since he was in the Mafia, it was common for people to want to kill him, but it was unusual to try to kill him in front of all the people. So he had to dig the matter deeper.I placed my hands over my face and groaned. “Why did I tell him he was precious? What would he be thinking right now?”

I'm sure that if the two of us work together, we won't have to stay that long,” Liam chimed in with a bright smile, but his smile faded away as soon as Zaiden glared in his direction.I wondered when he got onto this floor since I told him to go to Mrs. Regine. Oh, how could I forget that Mrs. Regine worked on this floor? This was why Liam got here in the first place.I ignored Zaiden's strange behavior and turned towards Liam. “That would be a great help. Thanks—”Zaiden cut me off and spoke up, “Did you forget, Ms. Anastasia? We don't make our interns do the hard work for

Chapter-15: Coffee PoisonAria AnastasiaZaiden 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 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.

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.

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.

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.
