Learning her

"Aria! Aria can you hear me?" Dalton tapped her cheeks gently several times, when he noticed that she was stirring back to life. Her eyes were still tightly shut as he held her closely to his body, and began to walk away from the surroundings of the burning vacation house. Immediately he walked back to where his car was parked and dropped her comfortably on the front seat, he picked up his phone immediately and wondered whom he could call nearest to the place. That was when he figured out that he didn't even have the contact of the doctors, since it was Alex who normally did the scheduling and search. Panicking about the fact, he quickly checked the internet to find the location of where they were on the map, and to locate the nearest hospital that could take her in as fast as possible. "Just take me elsewhere, Dalton, and not the hospital," she said to him in a very fragile voice, as he turned his face shockingly to see if it was really she talking. "Aria! Are you really aw

"Mum! I will not forgive you if Dalton does not restore those credit cards. I would not!" Ellen gnarled at her mother, as they all continued to amble around the dining room and kitchen. There was no one to prepare the meals they would eat that night, as they just continued to munch on the fruits that were left from breakfast. To make it worse, there was no internet connection in the house too, which was the most impactive of the deprivation they had suffered. "You should not talk to me like that! My authority still stands in this house," Eleanor snapped at her daughter, who was really angry and even frowning so hard at her. "I would just have to return to my own condo, while Emma can travel around again. Eva can sleep in her art gallery, while you will be the only one trying to adjust to living in your huge building all over again," Ellen snickered at her own words, and then bursted into laughter when the hilarious imaginations of Eva sleeping at the art gallery occurred to her.

The billionaire's wife

Daughter-in-law strikes harder/Perls

The entire night was so sleepless for Dalton because Aria was so restless, and was finding it hard to sleep because of her nightmares. She continued to mumble and sweat profusely in her sleep with shut tight eyes, with Dalton worrying endlessly about what he could do to help without waking her. The fire incident that she was involved in when she was young replayed in her dreams, alongside the one that she had to experience in the vacation house again. She struggled so much because it was hard to sleep, and to also wake up because of the medicine that was yet to wear off from her body. Dalton gently wiped the sweat from her face and forehead as she slept, but it was still uncomfortable for him to watch her look so much in pain. He moved over to the couch that she was sleeping on and raised the upper part of her body up, so that he could lay her head on his lap and tend to her properly. He tried to tie her hair that seemed to be getting in the way of her face, but it was dif

The new CEO

Daughter-in-law strikes harder/Perls

Dalton parked the car at a distance away from the beach, as he watched Aria walk towards the water and graze her feet into the sand. He walked away from the parking spot and stood miles away from where she was walking towards, as she let her fingers brush into the water as soon as the waves went the other way. After some minutes, she saw that Dalton just remained standing without coming closer, even when she had asked him to come with her to the beach shore where other people were. Her pride would not let her meet him and ask to join her the second time, and luckily, her eyes caught something more exciting instead at the other side. Aria went back to where Dalton was standing and requested a card from him, as she ran back without answering his question of where she was going. In a few minutes, she rented a surfing board, surfing clothes and also paid for a few hours to learn from a surfer. After she had failed to ride the surfing board so many times because of how imbalanced h

Leading clues

"And you have a problem with that?" Dalton's voice cut her off immediately, and the entire family gasped at his reply. They were shocked when they heard Eva talk out of line at first, but were surprised to hear that Aria was getting the huge departmental store. It was really a glaring fact that their brother was really serious Aria, even if their marriage was months away from its end. Aria herself was inwardly elated when she found out that Dalton had finally approved it, even if she had no idea about how to run that kind of huge business. It was a pleasure to her that regardless of everything, she was going to get a huge reward at the end of their marriage. "You are making this bitch the head of the store?!" Eleanor raged immediately forgetting her sins that were not yet forgiven, and Ellen turned to her mother immediately to give her a cautioning look. "Yes. And that is my final decision," he said and made to climb the stairs together with Aria, when he heard an offensive wo

His vulnerability

Daughter-in-law strikes harder/Perls

"So now that you have gotten the company you asked for, any plans to make it even better than it is now? With what I know, you do not have so much knowledge about being the co-owner of a company, talk more of being the owner," Dalton stated loudly as he walked out of the study room, that he had been for more than an hour after Alex left. Aria was sitting in front of the dresser mirror that was clearly for her, as she applied facial oil and treatment to her face for night purposes only. She continued to subconsciously check her collar bones to observe how sunken they are, and her eyes to see if they were not deep into their socket as well. She just resided in her fate and let Dalton do whatever he wanted, because she was actually cautious about returning to a room that had been tampered with in her absence. Though Dalton's room might not be any better for her either as she didn't know much about his life, it would help her map out the final plans to get the perpetrator

Spotlight

Aria's eyes trailed around every corner of the huge room, from the huge dangling chandeliers to the spots that were most best for a camera angle. It was kind of weird in her mind to think that Dalton would put cameras in his own room, but it wasn't entirely implausible to imagine either. Since he must have had the perfect plans in his mind that he would make her share his room, it was possible that there would be cameras in hidden places to watch her every move. And it was no doubt that he had really been curious about what she was up to. That morning before Dalton left with his Alex for work, the assistant had passed her a small note and she wondered what it was all about. It was when she opened neatly folded paper and saw what it was all about, that elation swept her heart uncontrollably like a rumbling storm. She could almost feel her eyes wet in tears as she read the letters in the paper over and over again, to be sure that she had not read delusions because of her expect

Becoming CEO

Daughter-in-law strikes harder/Perls

"This is much harder than I thought!" Aria groaned inwardly, as she frowned at the statistics graph that Amelia had presented to her just the third day of becoming CEO. Amelia was the managing director of the department store, and it was her fifth year working for the MLmall. She was competent and hardworking in her doings, extremely professional that it was hard to replace her. She was one of the few women that had never tried to lure advances towards Dalton, or get too cringy because of the business bond she shared with him. Her technical and educational skills were at an incredibly high level, and she did perfectly fine getting the company better by the years with great innovative ideas. Ever since she had been officially informed of the MLmall's change in ownership and name, she had been giving it her best to relate with Aria well about the affairs of the company. It was even more easier and pleasant for her than she expected, because Aria was more calm and collected than

Warning and butterflies.

Aria's eyes watched her videos that were sent to her through email over and over again, and they all seemed so similar to the ones that the private investigator had sent, except that it had a different background and setting. If she were to look at the angles and compare them with a similar outlook even if it had all changed, it was no doubt that the videos were taken in the Miller mansion. As expected, they were videos taken by spy webcams that were secretly mounted in a few locations. They were the videos that the dancer was finally able to send her, after a prolonged personal chat meeting between both of them. Curiosity of what was in the file and what the person had to offer overwhelmed her, more than who the person was or if it was a trap by the real perpetrator. Aria knew she had to be curious about everything she was venturing into, but time was counting and there were limits to what her private investigator could find out about. The house was a fairly private one wit

Hallucinations?

Daughter-in-law strikes harder/Perls

"I sense things taking a crazy turn in this house. I have never seen Eva so concerned about the home and company affairs that much," Ellen, who was driving the car said to make the mood in the car lighten up, with her younger sister and mother who were sitting at the passenger's seat. The excited daughter was happily driving her mother to the airport, so that she could just be in time to catch her flight. Eleanor had paid for the trip with some of her friends a month ago, and it was postponed due to some personal reasons. Finally, it was time for her to go and Ellen couldn't be more than delighted. Though they were not still in a pleasant mood that Dalton didn't restore all of the credit cards, Ellen wasn't so bothered because she earned from her own personal job too. Though every money she had spent and the lavish lifestyle she had kept up to date because of her brother, it was still easier to get adjusted to the new system than her mother. Eleanor had remained an angr
