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
'You won't find a strong person without a painful past' ~Aiden & Layla Xx___xX "What you guys did yesterday was epic," Noah came to the kitchen to pour himself a drink while I was cleaning it. "I mean you should have looked at Tina's face. And Charlie was about to faint. He asked me two times if what he saw was real and he is not hallucinating." Noah laughed a took a sip too. I smiled and went to the counter and grabbed the bottle from him so that I can drink a bit too. "Yeah I was surprised but I was the one who asked her to get me out of that room," I said taking a sip. "Yeah, I could see it. But you weren't acting along with her. You were just being yourself around her," Noah said and sighed, "Charlie was right, you've completely changed since you came back. I'm so happy for you," Noah cheerfully smiled and I smiled back. "All thanks
"You can see that he is not clear like crystal. Tyler has done many bad deeds with his hands, but they are hidden, and we can't find them. That is why we are going to destroy him like this," I stood up from my place, wiping the only tear on my face and going near the board as Layla and Amy took their places. "Right now, everything Tyler is doing is for the company which he thinks belongs to him. The company and that whole business belonged to my Mum's father, and later he transferred all his share to his daughter and my mother," I took a deep breath before arranging my words, "So you can now see that Tyler was hungry for the company at that time and to get what he wanted, he cleverly cleared all obstacles in his path," As I finished speaking, everyone seemed lost in their thoughts. There was a moment of silence before Noah spoke up. "So are we just going to destroy that company so that Tyler can be devastated?" "Yes
Layla's perspective:"Finally, it's done," I thought to myself. I came early today so that I can manage this project which is one of the important projects right now. Everyone is working very hard right now because it can be one of the life-changing projects for anyone.Aiden's company was looking for people to hire internationally. AZ Textiles had very high standards in hiring people and this time it was the turn of our city and our company. This was a big opportunity for everyone. If Aiden saw potential in this company, he would offer us a project which could be a great impact on the company. Aiden also offered to hire some employees of the company and that's why everyone was working hard.I was just about to be finished finalizing this product I prepared. The presentation and description were left and I could prepare that later. I was adding some finishing touch wh
Aiden's perspective: "He is going to be here soon," Layla informed me as I was preparing my living room, covering them with files and work stuff. "Are you sure you want to show him this mess?" Layla asked being unsure of my actions right now."Of course. How would he believe that I'm a CEO until I'm working at my home too?" I justified. Layla walked towards me and sat on the couch beside me."You know that you are a CEO. You don't need to pretend to be one. Besides, you gave him your company card which states your name and the company. You don't need to be fake being you," Hell yeah, she was right. It's not like I'm lying about my company or faking my identity. Layla sighed seeing me lost in my thoughts and patted my shoulder. "It's alright now. I guess he can see how hard-working and serious you are by seeing this mess," she took a glance at the table once again,  
As I was stepping forward, Layla nods her head in the left to the right direction and telling me to stop. She breaks the hug by pushing him away politely. My fist was closed tightly and I was trying so hard to control myself. "Miss Layla you look very talented. If you want to make good use of your talent then give me a call. I would help you out truly," Tyler handed her his card and gave a smirk. She was being so calm and patient right now that if I was in her place, I would knock him out right now until it's confirmed that he is dead. Finally, he went away and we were able to breathe. I turned to Layla and she was full red in anger"Hey, do you have a punching bag?" Layla asked angrily. I wanted to vent my anger out too and I guess that was the best option we had right now. I directed her towards the upper floor where my gym and room were located. She ran upstairs and I followed her. "Looks like my punchin
Layla's Perspective: "Layla pick up your phone for God's sake!" A voice reached into my ears as soon as my eyes opened. The sunlight coming through my window was falling onto my face and disturbing my sleep. I rubbed my eyes as the phone kept ringing. I slept very late last night and I thought that it was okay as it's a weekend. Oh gosh, I deserve a break. The phone finally stopped as I pulled the blanket over my face. Yesterday was very long and tiring and all I need was to sleep the whole day. I was about to sleep once again when the phone started ringing again. Cursing under my breath and removing the blanket from my face, I finally picked up the call. "Ya! You should respect people who work all week long and finally get to sleep on weekends. Disturbing someone when they are asleep is a crime!" I said in an annoying and tired voice, not knowing who was
Layla's Perspective:"I'm here," ~Aiden.I grabbed my purse and checked myself in the mirror one more time before heading out. I can't wait for the news he was so excited about to tell me.We were finally outside and I figured out that Liam has already spotted Aiden and Noah as he was rushing towards them. Amy was running after him so they both were running practically.Finally, I reached them and the first one who came to greet me was Noah."So how is this champ doing?" Noah came and gave me a side hug."I'm good I'm good. You are going first with Amy and Liam?" I asked curiously seeing two cars standing in this parking area."Yeah, we are. Because Aiden likes to drive his car and I don't think that we all would be able to fit in his car as it's for two people only," Noah pointed towards a red Ferrari, and as soon as my eyes landed in that direction. Aiden opened his car door to come out."So
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
