"So, did you agree?" Amy moved forward, giving me a curious look, slapping her hands on the table.
"Amy, come on! I just told you everything right now, and you are asking me if I agreed or not,"
Like any other Best friend, I told Amy everything that happened yesterday because it was bothering me, and I couldn't come up with a decision. I can't just leave Aiden hanging for this long.
"You know what? I believe that he is right. It would be best if you opened up now, Layla, before it's too late. You should start living too." Amy said, filling her mouth with peanuts once again.
"I'm right now in the process of making a decision. And Aiden also said that Amy could join us too so that I can feel comfortable," I explained.
Her eyes widen, and I could feel a spark of mischievousness in her eyes.
"Woah, that would be an awesome and much thrilling experience for both of us. Imagine us being international spies. On top of that, he
What will happen after Layla agreed to help Aiden? what has fate in stored for them? Keep reading to find out. Support my work by adding it to your library. Keep shining :)
Aiden's perspective:"She just texted saying that she would be here soon, are you done preparing everything," I asked Noah.Noah jumped up from the sofa where he was sitting for as long as I can remember. He took off today, and that's why he was wearing his comfortable red hoodie and not a suit."Yes, sir! Everything here," he showed me his left hand in which he was holdings two files," and here too." He then showed me his right hand, in which he was holding my USB.I took both the things from his hands and placed them on the table."So how did she accepted this quickly?" Noah asked, leaning on the table beside me.I was surprised that she agreed on this Early. I was expecting a few days or a week for her to decide. Anyways, the early she agrees, the better it would be for us."She might have come up with a decision sooner; what else," I said."Well, that's v
To everyone who asks me this question, yes, I want to kill him, and I would be at peace after killing him. Xx___xX "Yes," I replied, "but you don't need to worry about that part. I will manage it alone in California," I said so that everyone can be at ease. I'm stronger than they think. I've wanted to do this since 14 years ago, and finally, it's happening. There was much to investigate in this case. I'm just doing it for the family I had a long time ago. "So our first mission is to stop him from asking help from any other outsider other than me, and we need to imply it as soon as possible," "You said that you would hire someone to locate his location," Noah reminded me. "Yup, I'm looking into it. I plan to bump into him and make it look like a coincidence. I would hire some hacker so that we can know about his location. It would be difficult
"Are you sure that we are at the right place?" Noah asked uncomfortably, looking around and taking a full look."Trust my skills. Tyler is here, and all I need to do now is hack the camera," Amy replied, still clicking on her keyboard. Layla looked uncomfortable too,"This place is shady," Layla said."Of course, it needs to be shady. Tyler is here because no one here knows who he is. He is trying to run away without letting anyone know," I explained."Yeah, he is trying to be pretty smart," Amy agreed."There is no news anywhere of Tyler regaining consciousness. He is keeping it a secret so that he could elope without anyone interfering in his plan," I further added. "Then wouldn't it be weird if you claim to know him?" Layla asked"Yeah, and do you think that he would still trust you?" Noah joined her. I smirked, "Who said that I would claim to know him? And if I don't know him and get to know him, then I would gain his
Layla's Perspective:"Aiden? Aiden's response please," Noah was shouting in his air buds, trying to grab Aiden's attention."Why isn't he moving?" Amy was scared."Shit, I should have seen that coming," Noah was also getting tensed."What do you mean?" I asked."I mean, he is meeting his enemy after 14 years. An enemy who stole everything Aiden had. He is trying to be brave, but still, he is completely frozen. We need to do some time. He is scared," Noah finished his sentence being very panicked and immersing himself into the laptop once again.At that moment, I felt like Aiden needs my help. As he said earlier, I was the only one who can understand him, and now I can feel how Aiden must be feeling. I didn't think twice and hurried out of the car. I could hear Amy asking me what am I doing, but I still ran. I ran to save him. I can't leave him alone like that when he needs me. Although it was a su
Layla's Perspective: We've been home for almost three days after that meeting with Tyler. Amy is usually in contact with Noah, but Aiden Is occupied. I don't blame him because Noah was right. Noah was right that Aiden is meeting his enemy after 14 years, and it would be difficult for him to face him after all the things Tyler did to Aiden. I don't know what Tyler did to Aiden, but the way he is broken that much, it must be something, but I'll wait for him to open up to me. I need to do the same, opening up to him about my past someday, and I've been preparing myself for it. I finally took the sip of the coffee from the coffee cup, which I was holding for almost like 10 mins. I was worried about so many things right now. And Tyler not calling Aiden for almost three days is one of them. "Sis, why are you up so early?" Liam tried to bring me back to reality by entering our Terrace. I
It was too late to realize the truth. Now I understood everything. Aiden gave out millions of dollars easily, laughed when I told him my dream company name and how cheerful I was while talking about him as an inspiration. But I can't blame him. It was me who was dumb. I was still frozen at my place when he moved towards me with my boss Emma, a huge smirk on his face."This is the head of our design department, Miss Layla. She is one of the most talented workers we ever had," Emma walked towards me and then pointed at me, "She is one of our longest employees with many talents. Also, she is a fan of you and your company too,"I mean, I was joking when I asked her to praise me in front of the CEO, but she just did that.Now I was embarrassed and looked down at the floor because I didn't expect him to be here and lost my confidence. I was amazed by his presence here and how he carefully examined me when Emma spoke abou
Aren't you going to defend yourself,""I don't deny the truth, Layla," Aiden said gently.My heart stopped at this confession and determination, but I still managed to speak up,"You are flattering me," I said mischievously to him. Thankgod that there was a knock on the door, which saved me from this soon-to-be awkward situation. Aiden nodded at Charlie, and Charlie allowed the person to come in.Noah peaked his head from the door like a child."Hello Layla," he said when still peaking his head, "I was looking for you, but I guess someone else founded you first," he finally entered. "So you knew that she worked here?" Aiden asked."Yeah, Amy and I were trying to hack in companies files, and we started with the company you were in, Layla,""You guys were doing this behind our back?" I exclaimed.I felt betrayed that Amy hid it from me. But I could understand how much pressure was on her shoulder as she doesn't have any experience in hacking com
"Sorry, I doubted you. You are a full genius in this case," Aiden said, cheerfully smiling at me. I like it whenever he smiles like he is genuinely happy. I smiled back at him. "But you are going to be investigated by your friends after this. Can you survive that?" I mockingly asked. "You know that no one dares to investigate me as you can see how powerful I am," He flashed a smile at me and continued, "So now you should take me to the most amazing place of this company which is your office," Aiden winked, and I smiled foolishly. "Well, I can't take you to my office right now as people's questioning eyes will be on us," I gave an excuse. "You should have thought about it before pulling me out of that room and grabbing my hand," My eyes widened as Aiden showed me our hands which we were still holding. "There weren't many people there, and the two were your friends, and I don't think that Tina
First of all I would like to thank you all for reading it till the end. This book was one of my first novel ever and I've learned alot from it. It took me almost 1 year and 6 months to complete this book. It taught me so much that it will always have a special spot in my heart. I love you all for reading it and supporting it continuously.This book would not be here without certain people in my life. and I would like to take a moment and appreciate Thier efforts as well. Saamia Shabbir, one of my best friends who supported me throughout this journey. Her nickname is Amy, so you can see where that character came from. She even helped me with the making of few big plots in the novel. She is the best part of my life to be honest. Saamia, this is all because of you.Nabiha Ather Farooqi, my another best friend who's also one of my very first readers. I'm sure as hell that she would be nagging at me to give her more chapters right now. No one can support me better then her. And yeah man, do
3 Months Later:"You look so pretty," I complimented Amy as I entered from kitchen to her room and sat on the bed."Thanks I know," She said while blushing clearly, but she would never admit that."Another date?" I asked."Yeah well I got to know about it today so let's see. I guess it's some fancy restaurant and I feel like this red dress would be perfect for it," Amy twirled around and once again looked at herself in the mirror.I was so happy for her because she finally found her happiness. Since Amy and Noah started dating few months ago, Amy has been happier then ever. And everyone knows how crazy Noah is for her. He literally worships her secretly. Well about Carlos and Celine, they are still in Thier talking phase. But I'm sure as hell that they would end up dating one day so I'm not that worried about them.I looked at my phone and there was no new message. And my boyfriend? He's busy I guess because we haven't talked or seen each other since 32 hours and yes I was counting. I
Aiden was so emerged in his work that he didn't notice my presence in the room. That gave me the leverage to look at him for a while and admire him a bit. This man is a piece of art that I could admire for hours. The way his sleeves were rolled up while he was swiftly typing on the keyboard was a view I would love to watch any day. God made him with so much effort. To this day, I still can't believe that this man loves me and he's mine.I made my way toward him slowly but still, he was unaware of my presence. The coffee table was filled with paper and files while he was working on the laptop. Aiden stopped typing and leaned back on the couch as he sighed. I wonder what he's working on. All of a sudden his gaze met mine and I immediately smiled at him."How long have you been standing there, staring at me like that?" His voice was heavy like he haven't said a single word in the last few hours."Like what," I asked as I made my way towards him, eyes still on him."Like you're in love wi
The heaviness of blanket covered my body as I slowly opened my eyes. For a second, I was lying still and staring at the ceiling when suddenly I jolted up as the events of past few hours of my life hit me. I looked around and realized this wasn't my room. A second later, relived washed over me when I realized its Aiden's room and I'm resting on his bed. When did I fall asleep? Why am I in his room? And how did I even get here?I looked at my phone and the time was 9:00pm at the moment. Woah! How long did I slept for? Last I remember, it was past 3:30 pm. I unlocked my phone just to find 1 missed call from Carlos and 10 missed calls from Celine. I couldn't help but smile at their differences. One was someone with dead serious personality who would never call twice. While the other was someone with a really caring personality who would do anything to make sure that you're alright.I just find both of them very cute and suitable for each other. I guess opposites do attract after all. I'm
Stephanie continued stating her reason regarding why she helped William."He recorded my confession about how I'll help him get rid of the file and few other things which were against me. William threatened me with them and said that he won't be the only one going down. I got scared Layla, I gave up and did whatever he asked me to do. I thought I won't be able to do anything without him. But a few days ago, I found out that he was also responsible for Liam's death. That's when I got furious and started digging on him. I even got hands on the file he was so scared of getting public. It wasn't complete but it was a start. I know my company's image would be destroyed too but I'm ready for that. I'll do anything to put him in his place Layla,"If only she knew Carlos was already putting him in his place. But I won't tell her that now. I'll tell her everything when I'm done. And I wasn't done yet. I just started. Today I'm going to get all the answers I've been finding for years."Why Liam
“Can you slow down a bit?” Amy calmed the storm going inside my head by suddenly asking me to slow down. I didn’t realized how much fast we were going until she called me out. I sighed heavily and slowed the car down as Amy spoke up again.“That’s why I suggested that I should be the one driving. Your focus is somewhere else and you know it,” Obviously it is. Life decided to fuck me up suddenly and my focus is there.“It’s kind of my therapy you know,” I tried to come up with the lamest excuse I could because at this point I was anything but calm. She was right that I shouldn’t be driving right now but I can’t help it. At this point, I don’t even know what to think and how to justify anyone’s behavior.“Talk to me Layla. Don’t fight this battle alone inside your head. We’ve been through a lot but always together,”It is true that my brain is having a war inside of it right now and it’s also true that Amy and I have gone through so much together. But I don’t think I’ll be able to descr
I wanted to start with basic questioning that's why I started with something lighter."We both know you've killed my parents and my brother. So I guess so was the next right?" I threw my first question at him as he smirked."I would have killed you alot sooner but what can I say, I was just being too generous."William was not giving me straight answer and I'm afraid I'm not leaving him alone until he answers my every single question. The only way to make him speak was this, I grabbed my gun from the back and pointed at his head. His eyes widened in shock as I continued to speak."I'm not here to play games with you Willam. You know how much good I'm with guns because of my father so you better answer my question seriously this time." I threatened him which seemed to work and threw my next question at him."Why did you kill my parents. Was it for Thier money?"William was quite for few seconds but he knew I was determined so he finally started speaking."It wasn't for Thier wealth to b
Layla's POV:Oh god it's happening, it's happening, it's happening. My mind keeps chanting the same thing again and again. I swear to God I feel like I'm having a heart attack. My legs can't seem to stop shaking anytime soon. Same goes for my hand and the rapid beat of my heart. I'm not prepared at all. I even didn't got the time to process it all and now here it is.We are actually going to deal with my uncle Today. Today is finally the day and I needed a few days to proceed it. But Carlos just told me yesterday at Aiden's house that we are taking care of my Uncle after all I need to do is kill him. Like that's one of the most easiest task in the world. Well it's not and I needed alot of time to mentally prepare myself.But Carlos had some important work and he would be gone for a while. He is leaving the country for a while and won't be back anytime soon. So I had two options, either wait for him to come back which god knows when or just go with it today. I decided that I don't want
Aiden's POV:My cheeks felt wet as soon as I woke up. Where the hell am I? I looked around and saw Layla sitting besides me, staring out the window. I wiped the potential tear of my face as the memories of what happened few minutes ago hit me up. Was I crying while sleeping? Thankfully I didn't made any weird noise.I moved in my seat and sat up properly as Layla turned to me when she noticed me waking up."You're finally awake. We were just about to reach your house." Layla announced."Oh the princess is already up?" Noah asked from the front seat."When the hell did I dozed off?" I confusingly looked around."As soon as I pushed you in this car. I'm still thinking about how you did that."I'm surprised as well. I guess I was just too relived that my heart and head felt lighter. Anyways it was a good hell of a nap so I'm not the one complaining about it. I feel even lighter after that nap and that's even much stranger. But I'll just ignore it because I've never felt something like th
