Aaron stared blankly at Athaliah’s number on his phone. He was still deciding if he should make this call or not? It had been hours since she left like that.. after watching the tapes.. after their kiss. The way it all happened, he hadn’t thought things would turn so complicated. The way she left without uttering any word or even looking at him, forced him to imagine a lot of negative things.
All he wanted was to soothe her pain, ease her cries and relieve her from stress and the best way to do that during that weak moment was kiss her? NO!! He could have done anything but that. Their relationship was already on the verge of breaking down in a few weeks. Even though he doesn't want it, he was not sure about Athaliah. Though it doesn't mean that he won't fight for himself if Athaliah doesn't agree to continue the marriage with him. He will give up his everything to convince her he surely won't force her into anything like he thought before.
Please leave me a review and give my book 'His Revenge' a chance too! Love you all!
"God, I am tired." Aaron sighed in tiredness. Yesterday was a hectic day for Aaron. Watching those tapes with Athaliah, kissing her to take away her pain, then repenting on his actions and finally taking over the responsibility of finding the links to that incident which coincidentally happened in Hayden's hospital years ago.. everything had drained him. He was so busy sorting the first steps of everything that he had stayed in his office all night yesterday. He didn't come back home yesterday. Nor did he see or talk with Athaliah over the phone. He will be lying if he says that he hasn't missed her. He didn't forget to call his mother, sister or brother to talk with his lovely kids. He didn't want to disturb Athaliah by calling her but whenever his phone rang, he wished it to be her call every time. But she didn't call him even for once. Sighing at himself, he stopped the car in front of the gates of h
The next day "Aaron? What brings you to the Lockhart mansion?" Mrs Lockhart, Olivia's mother asked after telling Aaron to sit down. Mrs Lockhart was in the drawing room, looking at some magazine when the servant informed her that Aaron Knight was here. "Good morning, Mrs Lockhart. I have some work, Olivia. Is she home?" He asked. "Yes, wait I will ask someone to inform her about your arrival. She will be really happy." She said and ordered one of her servants to inform Olivia. "How's your mom?" Mrs Lockhart tried to start a conversation. "She is doing fine. Please keep visiting her." Aaron replied really politely. "Do tell her that I miss her and that I will come to meet her soon." She said with a smile. "Sure." He replied. "How's your wife and kids doing?" She
"I swear, I will kill your receptionist one day!" He snapped at no one particular while entering the room with a bang. It was after a few seconds, he realised there was someone else present in the room too. And that someone is no one other than Hayden. His mood worsened after seeing him here. Whereas a faint smirk appeared on Hayden's face, hearing Aaron. "I… I will wait at the cafeteria while you finish." Aaron said and turned around to leave but Athaliah stopped him. "Aaron! One minute..! He was just leaving." Athaliah said. Hayden fisted his hands to calm his raging nerves because instead of pacifying him, she gave priority to Aaron. He walked toward the door without uttering any more words. "Hayden? Wait!" Athaliah said. He stopped to listen to her but didn't turn around. Aaron was also interested to kn
Midnight, The next day
"Are you ready?" Sean asked after setting up the TV. "We are but what I don't understand is why are we watching the CCTV footage of the accident when we already know it wasn't an accident? Now what we have to do is find the owner of the bike and catch him." Athaliah said in confusion. "Athaliah, there must be something which will lead us to something else toward the case that we should watch. Otherwise Sean wouldn't have asked us to watch it, right?" Aaron explained while putting his hand over her assuringly. They both were sitting beside each other on the couch in Athaliah's office. Athaliah gave a small look at his hand over her and slowly moved her hand away while giving him a small hesitating smile. Aaron looked at her with a frown. Her this kind of behaviour had been disturbing him from the past week. "Of course you would know everything. After all you watched it before witho
"Where is Aaron? Why didn't he reach yet?" Olivia asked Luke in an arrogant tone as if she was the boss of the office. She became really demanding after last time when Aaron visited her personally to say sorry and offered her the opportunity of this photoshoot. She started to dream things which are possible in dreams only. If only she knew.. Luke closed his eyes and asked for patience to deal with this arrogant woman. She was giving him and all the set members a really hard time with her demands. He opened his eyes after a few seconds and looked at her with a strained and fake smile. "He is on the way, Miss Lockhart. He is having an important meeting with his wife. I guess that's what is delaying him. I am sure he will be here soon." He said it as professionally as he could but a smirk automatically made its place on his lips when he saw her fume at mention of Athaliah. 
"Welcome, Aaron." Olivia said over warmly while giving Aaron a hug. She also gave his cheek a small peck too in front of Athaliah. Athaliah looked at the scene in front of her with widened eyes and soon it turned into a glare. She was almost killing Olivia and Aaron with her glare. Feeling her glare, Aaron quickly pulled away from the hug and gave Athaliah a nervous smile. "You are dead, Aaron." He muttered under his breath. "Oh, hi. Athaliah, I didn't know you were coming." Olivia said with a fake polite smile and forwarded her hand for a handshake. Athaliah took her hand in her and gave it a small shook. "Isn't it normal for a wife to come with her husband to the parties where he was invited?" She asked with a smirk which shut her up immediately. Aaron smirked at Athaliah. He definitely liked it when Athaliah claime
"You are what?" Aaron and Athaliah loudly exclaimed at the same time again. "We are cousins!" Olivia answered this time while Hayden was busy gawking Athaliah which obviously didn't go unnoticed by Aaron. Aaron looked at him with a frown. Didn't Hayden just praised them by saying he and Athaliah makes the best couple then what is he trying to prove now by eyeing his wife? Aaron thought. Though the urge of poking Hayden's eyeballs out of its socket is really high at this moment to Aaron for looking at his wife like this. As if Hayden sensed his wish and took his eyes of her and looked at him. He gave him a small smile and looked back at Athaliah with the same smile. Then he turned back to Olivia. "How the hell I don't about you knowing Aaron, Olivia?" He asked. "I could ask you the same, Hayden! I didn't know that Athaliah was your childhood best friend and l
