I was completely loosing focus on driving as she chuckled.
"You are blushing hard Aiden," She said trying to control her laughter.
Yeah I know that for sure. Many feelings were crossing my heart but I need to focus on one task only which was to safely drive us to the restaurant. But it was becoming very difficult for me. I cleared my throat and focused on the road.
The restaurant is just 8 minutes away if I keep going on this average speed. Everything would be fine for just 8 minutes so I told my heart to calm down. But my heart had completely other plans as it was just beating like a drum.
There was a silence for few seconds between us in the car when she suddenly leaned forward once again and this time she didn't kissed me on the cheeks but stopped a few inches from my face. My heart did a somersault but once again, I tried to focus on driving by kee
"I can't believe my eyes," Celine gasped once again.Why is she so shocked? I mean like I'm a boy who have feelings towards girl. Did she misunderstood me as gay or something? Cause she is so dead if she thought this. I don't try to flirt with any girl or ignore them doesn't mean that I like boys. Well the way in describing it all can make anyone misunderstand the situation.Celine, the head designer of AZ Textiles, was a very nice person overall. A fun and talented person. On top of that, she was a very reasonable person that's why I was kind of her friend and never questioned her any decisions regarding personal life or any office decision.But she was mostly very dramatic and filmy. Every issue for her was like her life depended on it. Which sometimes was actually a nice quality. She also like to gossip but not with the employees but with the people who came for our meetings or usually it was Noah, Amy,
Layla's Perspective:"Thanks for today Layla. This day couldn't have gone any better," Aiden said as soon as he closed my side's car door behind us."Well at this point, everything that happened was all because of you so thank you Aiden,"We stared silently at each other for few seconds. Our eyes were filled with nothing but love for each other. The comfortable silence was making my heart very warm."I have many things to say, many things to confess. But I've already confessed alot today so let's leave some confession for some other time, don't you think so?"I smiled and looked at the ground before looking straight Into his beautiful dreamy eyes again."Don't even get me started. I have like a million things to confess but I'm just so happy at the moment that I can't think of anything. I guess that you have successfully occupied my mind Mr. Aiden,"He chuckled softly and I just
Aiden's perspective:You know, there is a moment in your life when you become so happy that you forget to think about the future and live in the moment. You become so happy, that you forget that your life can change completely at one point. You become so happy, that you choose to ignore any bad thoughts.That's what I did, I forgot. I forgot that life was never bountiful to me. I forgot that I don't deserve happiness. I was a fool to think that life could change in a good way from now on. But I didn't knew what life was about to throw me under.Xx___xXMy entire concentration was on the file besides me and the fact that I need to reach home as soon as possible. I need to go home and tell Noah how much happy I was. I need to tell him that I can finally be at peace.All of a sudden, some sharp light made me avert my eyes away from the file and I looked at the road infront of
•Noah's Perspective:I frustratedly looked at my watch where the clock's arm was resting on 1 a.m. Anger was rushing through my veins as I looked at his door and then back to his driveway. But there was no sign of him anywhere even if I look back and forth between these places thousand times.I have been standing here like a fool for almost an hour but he doesn't seems to be bothered by it. He already pushed our meeting away for an hour but atleast at that time he texted but now it's unacceptable.I know that he is my best friend but I didn't expected him to be this careless and that too in a serious matter like that. Does he take me for some kind of servant because that's what I think he is doing at the moment.Letting out a deep sigh, I finally started moving towards my car. Let him be wherever he is or wherever he wants to be. I hope he's having fun but I am sure that I won't be talking to hi
Layla's Perspective:The news Noah told me about Aiden being missing, not seeing messages and not picking up calls was making me worried as hell. I had already woken up and sat properly in bed when Noah asked me about Aiden whereabouts. But now I just can't sit and wait for Noah to call me back.I got out of bed, went to bathroom to wash my face and then came back to the bedroom after making myself look like I was alive. There was still no call from Noah but I know I shouldn't call him back because he might be talking to the police.Hearing just the word 'police' made my anxiety level stress. It gave me creepy feelings and made my stomach feel sick. I started walking back and forth in my room with fast pace like a dead zombie which I already was. I just couldn't wait anymore.Noah must be finished by now as it has been 7 minutes an
Layla's Perspective:We were waiting for the doctor anticipatedly in the waiting room. It felt like it was years ago when doctor went inside Aiden's room.It was now 3:00 in the morning. I was still looking down at my hands which were filled with Aiden's blood as the river of tears continued to make their way down to my cheek. Amy was still sitting beside me with one of her hand wrapped around my shoulder.Noah was nervously pacing in the hallway which was almost empty now. He sat down for a few minutes and then started jogging once again. There were only few people left in the hospital at this time.After almost an eternity, the doctor came out of the room where Aiden was admitted earlier. Noah and I quickly jumped towards the doctor as he pulled his mask down to speak.Amy popped beside me and holded me in case I lose all my strength once again. I was scared when the doctor ope
It was now 9 a.m. and we were still waiting here for the results even though we knew that results would take alot of our time. We knew that we should get up and do something but we all were so tired and traumatized to even stand up and go out of this hospital.I tried my best to comfort both Noah and Amy in between our waiting session. They tried the same and then once again the room went quite. We were not even sure what to talk about at this moment.All the Happy moments were running through my mind and how we all were together when things turned hard. I remember how Aiden tried to be there for me when I lost Liam. But he knew that the loss was bigger and for that I need space which he gave me.But judging by what Amy had told me earlier, he missed me like crazy and he missed Liam too. He felt hurt too just like me. That's when I realized the True value of him.At the moment, my
I took a whole good look at the article and was surprised by what I've just seen. Goosebumps were crawling down my skin as I was completing reading each and every sentence.Oh god what the hell was going on? How are they knowing everything about what's happening in here without actually being here. Someone was telling these reporters about the injuries but I doubt that it could be doctors as they were busy themselves.Each and everything written in this article was supposed to be their mere "Predictions" which clearly wasn't. Somehow, whatever they wrote in this article was true. The article mentioned about Aiden's injury which includes brain surgery and fractures. Then there was a bomb after that.Aiden being paralyzed was also mentioned there which was actually the main highlight of the whole article. It felt like someone knew what happened and they were writing that. This thought made it clear that this article was co
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
