Alex"You." Aria said in a harsh tone.I lifted my head to meet my father's eyes."You've finally mastered the courage to look up,haven't you,son?"Our big man seated lifted his head to look at me."Interesting." He said and looked to the front, focusing on the men on the other side.Of all the places I had to meet him it had to be here.I sigh. "Hello father."He doesn't reply. "One of your men killed my most trusted person."Liz? It couldn't be her. Father loved her but she was not the most trusted."It's you." Aria's voice interjected without caring what the old men were trying to discuss.Father's lips tightened. He was going to snap soon because the man hated getting interrupted.Aria walked from where he was standing and charged to the other side. The men cocked their guns but they did not shoot.Her hands grabbed one of the men. He allowed her to pull her forward because Aria did not have the strength to do it without his will.The guy was bulky. Too huge to be considered an av
MecaelI cocked my head observing Greg who was on the other side with interest."You think you will be able to therapize me while you're in another country.""I didn't call for that but you already seem excited to begin."I huff and teach the cabinet for a bottle. Returning my eyes to the screen I was met with a pair of judgemental and scolding eyes."What? You are the one who said one bottle per week.""I can tell that it's not the first bottle this week." "You can't be certain now,can you."He stared at me. Deeply stared at me like he was searching my soul and getting through all the layers.I shivered and moved back. "Don't look at me like that.""Are you getting shy,Mr Heloriet?" He teased with a smile spread on his face."With all due respect." I lifted my hand up. "Nothing to say?"I dropped my hand and took a sip. That didn't feel right so I gulped it down."Slow down."I put the bottle down. "Why did you call? I have other things to deal with.""You are in your room. You look
AlexI was ready to fight anyone who would have tried to lay hands on her. Luckily Aria saved me all that trouble by agreeing to the wedding idea.I was more shocked than anyone else in the room.When I asked her about it she shrugged and said, "Let's just say I hate you but not as much as I hate bloodshed."My heart did twenty flips.Then she added,"but you'll need to treat me like a lady first. No running away when shit goes bad."Of course. That I could do.I heard the door opening and rush to welcome her home.I gasp. "Aria!" "Yes,I'm drenched.""I honestly didn't hear it rain.""Because it didn't. This woman was stuck in her bathroom when I had already changed,guess who she called?""You?" I watched as she took off her jacket and handed it to me."Exactly. Now I'll have to shower." She managed to strain a smile."I made dinner.' I informed her as she walked past me."Oh thank you darling." She was not going to eat it.Her feet came to a stop. "I am going to eat. I'm not hungry
AriaI felt like there were strings in my heart pulling them at all directions. The tug of war going on kept me up all night.Every time I closed my eyes the image of Alex and his stupid erection came to mind. That was pure torture to my brain,my heart and my conscience. Not wanting to see the picture,I kept my eyes wide open till they hurt. I blinked and continued.The clock flashed twelve.I flipped to lie on my belly. Fuck my life because it's only midnight. I scrolled through my phone to see a text from my stupid manager. But the text itself was not stupid because it read that I was not going to work in the morning.My shift has been shifted to night. I stuff my face onto the pillow and scream into it. Staying up has never been my thing. Now I have to stay awake to serve people who did not give two hoots about what your life was like. Whether you woke up with a smile or to a grieving news. All they care about is themselves.I groan one more time before pushing myseld to a sittin
MecaelI needed a drink. Lots and lots of drinks. Probably a whole barrel.The information bombarded on me was not too much but it was still exhausting. And of late, everything exhausts me.I made my way to the club at ten pm. A slow drive and stopping several times I got there at eleven.No plans were made for taking down a sub or a switch for that fact. I had zero intentions of going up to the other area. My main goal here was to drink. That and that alone.I headed to the bar and handed out my credit card. After having drinks that could get Greg to bring his ass back here,I finally turned to the dancefloor. Not that I had any intention of dancing,there's always something pleasing with watching people move their body. And I'm not talking sexually pleasing. Then my eyes fell on her. The epitome of beauty. Grace and class mixed in the perfect ratio. She was in a black dress. It did not tight her body allowing her to do the craziest moves. I loved her confidence.Her hair was let dow
MecaelShe pulled the same strings she had pulled last time on Lionne and it had worked. She said she needed to go to the bathroom. I let her because she has a tiny bladder.She took perfect advantage of the situation and got away from me. I raked my fingers through my hair pushing it back.I should call her,wait,I had tried that several times. She didn't pick up until finally her phone was switched off."Uuuurhg!" The people around me gave me judgmental glances but I did not care.My chest rose and fell as I tried real hard to keep my anger in check. Of course I was mad. She left,just like that. What if something happens to her and she ends up like last time.I called my brother because at moments of despair,you make choices you won't normally do. I requested,as the good person I am for him to be alert for I am not able to reach Aria.If I failed to get to her soon then we are starting a search. The next terrible choice I made was calling Mesta and asking for the same. She agreed wit
AriaI rubbed my eyes before opening them. The room I was in was dimly lit. It was huge,kind of Mecael's room but it smelt of flowers and I knew who's place I was at.My body screamed at me when I tried to move so I settled for staying still.The door clicked and I heard the sound of heels against the floor. Yap. Another confirmation of who had entered."Hello mother." I said keeping my voice dry. After all those years now is the time she seems it appropriate to show herself. She owed me a lot but most of all,an apology.She had to apologize for the pain she caused,the money I used on burying someone who is alive. It was not my money but Mecael is my husband,was my husband,and whatever is his is mine as well.The times I broke down thinking –"I'm glad to know that you can recognize me without seeing my face." Her tone was not any better than mine.I plopped myself to a sitting position ignoring my body's pleas to not move."You're becoming more reckless,I see." Light filled the roo
AriaMy boss is going to fire me. On normal days,that would never have scared me. On days I know I'm carrying a child,that took my mind on a spin.If I loose thxusinat job then I'd end up having to look for another job. I lack connections so that was going to take some time. My luck is terrible meaning I can't rely on it.The Uber came to a stop and I rushed out. With my ego,I refused any help coming from my mom. After slamming the door on her face and refusing to listen to anything she says,I refused her ride and clothes as well.Whatever she wanted to explain about my father she better tried next time. Probably after I have confirmed the pregnancy thing. How could she knows,she was only a mother for like six years before she disappeared."He's in his office." My favorite workmate informed me when I rushed into the kitchen.I sighed and rushed to the guys office ready for a serious session of roasting. I swalloer and knocked.Then,I waited.Nothing.I knocked again not stepping back
