"Wait here, Anna. I would be right back. Do not open the windows, and just keep playing games like you are doing right now," Aria instructed the young girl who just nodded with attentive ears, to everything that she was being told after the car rolled into the parking lot. Aria stepped outside of the car instantly while monitoring the car that was still watching theirs, and made her way swiftly towards the elevator that led to the first floor of the company. If her left eye had caught real well when she glanced sideways, it was someone in black outfit all through, with a black cap and shoes. Frustration hit the best of her as to why such had to come up, just when she had to drive Anna to the hospital, and also had to meet her private investigator for an information she demanded from him. Her schedules were already matching up in perfection, but something she could have never imagined to happen in broad daylight was going on. "You need to get this fast. Figure out what is th
It was late at night and Aria was standing in the kitchen to make dinner by herself, with every of the maids still cleaning the space flocking around her, to help her pick anything she wanted to make the meal. Since they had seen how power had changed hands in the house, they could not help but be more respectful to the wife of their boss. She refused their help to prepare dinner which was different from the food on the menu, that was prepared by the kitchen chefs, and had been served to every member of the family who were present at the table to eat that evening. Her mind often wandered to what the bad guy had said to her earlier. The tattoo he had on his neck bothered her so much that she took a break after dropping Anna at the hospital, to sketch out the detailing of the inked design in the best way she could. After she had paid the balance for the job the investigator had done for her, she paid another advance for him to find everything about any gang that had that kind of g
The past few days were a traumatic one for Aria, when she heard the name of the maid that had died. It was the young girl who was assigned to clean her room, who cared for her when she was unable to do anything by herself because of her broken arm. Even after those times she was still so helpful, that it also got her wondering what the girl was thinking and why she was nice to her. She couldn't understand why the girl had to die. It was really quiet in the mansion and there was no one to ask about what happened after, or if there was any chance that the girl who was moved away in an ambulance could still be breathing. Alex, who could have had an idea about the entire situation, went on a business trip with Dalton that same day. In the midst of the painful news that was enough to cause an emotional breakdown, Aria had to go to the hospital to stand by Anna who was going to receive a surgery. She had to drive the long way to the orphanage home to pick up the nun first, who also
Hours earlier........... "Why did you really want to meet, Aria? It is not like I am trying to sound so annoying or anything, but you really are not the type to honour invites like this immediately. Are you sure everything is okay?" Collin, who was looking at the lady that was sitting in front of him asked, trying to figure out if anything was going wrong with her. He had expected her to refuse his request and had prepared for the disappointment, but she rather surprised him by agreeing to come meet him wherever he chose. She was barely eating any slice from the pizza that they ordered, and even the drink he noticed that she really liked was left untouched. As much as she tried to look okay after she accepted his idea to eat lunch together, he still could sense that something was wrong with everything about her. "A very nice friend of mine died. It is so upsetting," Aria told him just one of the many things that was disturbing her, as she picked a golden fork from the one of
"How could you not tell me that that lost son of a f***er was trying to harass you? Did I train you to be that weak?!" Eleanor demanded from her daughter who was just slouched tiredly to her couch, days after the incident with Damon's arrest happened in the house. Ellen was not in the mood to even reply to what her mother was saying, with her heart still pacing restlessly with all that had happened with Damon. It was a fact that Aria had heard her discussion together with Damon, and probably found out about the rest of what had transpired between both of them. It was difficult to be in good spirits. "Am I not talking to someone here?!" "Mother, can we just stop talking about the same question you have asked me about a thousand times? I have better things to do than sit here for more than twenty minutes, listening to you take issues so seriously more than you should. And you should not use cuss words any longer. Leave it for the younger generation," Ellen scolded her mother with wor
Aria sat on her bed all afternoon searching frantically for the social media page of the masked dancer, who was rumoured to have started dancing again after opening a new page. No one knew who the lady was or if she was the one from before, because there was a change in outfit and dancing styles too. It had become a topic issue among netizens and YouTubers, who were looking for all means to connect the present person to the past one. They had tried to pick out coincidences that could make the new dancer the same as the old, but they could not find anything out which eventually died up the comments and speculations. She had to be fast concerning every finding she wanted to know, because it seemed like Dalton was on her radar already trying to look into what she was up to. He was suspecting every of her moves and doings, by asking her random questions that she could never tell the truth to. 'Could he actually be the one plotting all of that and just trying to make her life a living
The next morning at the mansion was quite loud and rowdy, with every single one of the servants working at the Millers mansion standing outside. They were all taken unaware by the latest development, as to catch anyone in his/her most vulnerable state early from the bed IT professionals had swarmed every nook and cranny of the building, and were thoroughly checking everywhere to see if there were any tech alterations anywhere in the buildings. From their phone devices and every technology gadget that they owned, were submitted for thorough checks in connection to whatever links, it could have to anything that would get them kicked out or jailed. Their rooms were thoroughly searched and inspected, as they also checked for wiretapping devices. The issue with the masked dancer had escalated overnight, after she mentioned the Millers family again at the ending minutes of her video. What broke the camel's back was the fact that she exposed a paper, where there were signatures of o
Aria went back to the house late in the evening and sighted both Ellen and Hailey, taking a tour around the house like it wasn't a place they were already used to. Ellen just looked away without any words to say unlike the way she normally acted, while Hailey gave her the same disgusted look even in her elegance. The billionaire's wife could sense that the obnoxious daughter of the family had become very calm ever since, and just grinned inwardly to what was happening without her best friend's knowledge. It made her elated to know that she had succeeded in putting her in her place. Dalton was surprisingly home already which was earlier than usual that day, and that was exactly why Hailey was at the mansion too. She had sent emails and text messages to him when she was out of the country, which he rarely replied to or even viewed. It really made her so anxious that she could not wait till the five weeks she had planned elapsed, as she flew back to the country as fast as she coul
