Layla's POV:The cold breeze struck my face as I stared at the view infront of me. This Cabin is surely being added into the list of my favorite places. It's so peaceful, comfortable, warm and green here. This Cabin is not so spacious but still one of my favorite places. It almost feels like home.We just arrived here a few minutes ago in this secret cabin owned by Aiden, outside of the town. Celine welcomed us warmly but soon when we told her everything, her mood died down. I told her everything from Azvameth's men in hospital to the news that Carlos and Noah are hunting Azvameth down to kill him.Celine was stunned but turned gloomy immediately. She didn't expected so many things to happen in just half a day. Celine is with Aiden now, setting up his things, Meanwhile Amy is in the kitchen checking out the food housekeeper of this Cabin bought for us if we stay. Jared was outside explaining duties to the bodyguard. And here I am, relaxing in this backyard.It's been so long since we
~2 Months Later:"When are we handing the Tyler's and our project to his opponent's company?" I asked Noah as soon as I entered the meeting room for our private meeting. Noah was sitting on one of the office chairs with his legs crossed on table."Soon. I've talked to them and would send them privately once I think we should proceed. Thankgod, the CEO of that company is on our side,""Yeah and that's because he would be heavily benefited from that project, Nothing special. The only one suffering the loss would be us in terms of ideas and a bit money. But Tyler would be the one to loose everything." I said as I took the seat Infront of him, leaving Aiden's seat empty as usual.Noah and I have been working way too hard to make our mission and this project with Tyler successful. He is completely trusting us with this project that's why he invested almost all of his money. Or should I say that we took it. We are going to leave him without having a single penny to survive. And now when we
I was smiling like a fool when Noah left the meeting room. Honestly, Amy deserves the kind of man Noah is. He is kind, sweet and caring. After all her experiences with men in past, she needed someone like Noah to make her life better. I hope she's realizing it as the time passes. Enough about them, I should probably get back to work before I get more emotional.I picked up my phone and searched for Celine's number in my contact list. I immediately pressed the call button as soon as her name appeared Infront of me. The call immediately went to voicemail. I tried again and the result were same. Thats weird. Celine was the one that always had her phone with her.I tried to shake the weird feeling away and left the meeting room. I wanted to ask Celine about the meeting and their reviews just like Noah wanted. Maybe she's in her office. That was the only place to know about her whereabouts. I should go to our designing department and maybe I'm lucky enough to find her their.But as soon as
I was trying my best to focus while I was driving because I was too sleepy. I knew it was dangerous but I had to submit this project. That's why I kept my eyes wide open and my attention was towards the road the whole time. This man should surely rot in he just like Celine said.I finally reached where I was supposed to give the project and handed it to the assistant of project manager as he wasn't here that early. Thankgod I was on time because the deadline was almost over. The assistant was really cooperative and didn't minded us submitting it at last moment.I picked up breakfast as soon as I left from their because Aiden's Cabin was far away and I needed energy to drive. I drove for almost more than an hour when I reached my destination. At almost 8.30 pm I reached thier and parked my car in parking lot. I thought I would not be able to enjoy peace and quietness but I was proven wrong right away.Surprisingly, thier were only few cars thier. Did Noah decrease the security all of a
Aiden's POV:We have been sitting in my living room staring at each other like that for straight 15 minutes in complete silence. He is sitting infront of me with his hands folded over his chest as I was doing the same. Noah is still not over the fact that I hid the fact about me dating Layla and I let him brag. He's just glaring at me like that for past few minutes.Layla was sleepy so I asked her to sleep on my bed as long as she wanted because I was already done with my bed for a while. I wanted to be active and do some work. She has been working so hard lately and she needed that rest. That's why I told her to sleep and I'll be in the living room because Noah and I needed to have a conversation.But this is leading to literally nothing. I think I should be the one to say something because it was unfair to him. I don't know if he's disappointed or happy or angry. But I know Noah better than anyone so I'm sure that he's not angry. He might be a little bit disappointed that I didn't to
I notice her moving slightly as I look up from my laptop. She's awake I guess. For the last couple of hours, I have been working on my laptop while Layla was asleep. I chatted with Amy and Noah for a bit before Noah went to the broadcasting station and Amy went to my company.Celine also dropped by an hour ago while Amy and Noah were still here. Amy called her and told her about the news of me waking up and she was asleep at that time. It took Celine a whole good minute before she even reacted to Amy's news. She immediately came here with a cab. As soon as her eyes landed on me while I was sitting in the living room with Noah and Amy, She started jumping and clapping.Celine hugged me excitedly and cheered some more. After cheering she started crying because of how hard it all was when I wasn't here. Then she laughed because what's Noah about to do today. I guess everyone was extremely happy today. While everyone was happy and celebrating someone was sleeping.I don't even know if she
Aiden's POV:I've been thinking about Layla's parents and her uncle since I opened my laptop after talking with Jared. That's why I have been staring at this chart sheet on my laptop for past 5 minutes. But nothing just settled in my brain as my focus was somewhere else. My mind has constantly been running since the moment I opened my eyes yesterday.Just thinking about the difficulties and problems Layla faced alone makes me feel helpless. She went through so much and on top of that with Liam by her side. Taking Liam's name makes me miss him so much. He was the purest soul I've ever seen. No child should go through the shit we all went through.I can help Layla now. But I just don't know how to tell her everything and how much to tell her. Should I bring up her parents case first or should I spend more time with her before dropping the bomb today. Talking about the culprit of her family's accident will definitely make her cry that's why it's taking me so long to come up with a decisi
After watching TV and hugging some more I took Layla's hand and bought her to my backyard. I paid some people to decorate the backyard with a romantic and light setup and I was surprised by how it turned out to be and was loving the look. It all happened while she was asleep so she don't have any idea about it that's why I decided to surprise her.Layla and I were now standing in the backyard and it was dark around us. She was looking at me curiously while I was busy taking out something from my pocket and pressing the 'ON' button on the small device. My backyard was soon filled up with light as the beautiful fairy lights started their magic. The whole look turned out to be much prettier than it did in the afternoon.Layla gasped in surprise as she took in the view of backyard by circling around. She was looking at the beauty of this backyard while I was looking at the beauty in front of me with the mesmerized expression on her face. Sure the backyard is now amazing and beautiful but
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
