"Why are you not asking about anything?" Aria asked immediately Dalton ignited the car and zoomed off, after he had tucked her in the seat beside him. "We would talk about that later," he answered her question without looking into her face, and drove on a high speed into the city with the nearest place that they could go to in mind."Just why are you........""The air is cold, so change the cold dress that you are wearing. Take a shirt from the backpack on the car seat," Dalton said to her instead without looking at her still, and focused more on his driving, pressing harder on the accelerator. Aria just pulled off her dress gently in the car without minding him, and changed to one amongst the huge shirts that she found in there. Since he had seen her in that manner several times, she didn't mind and just did her thing with so many things in her mind. She couldn't keep her mouth even if she tried. "I think there is something wrong with that water. If it is possible for Alex to
"The cameras were faulty at the moment?!" Dalton half-yelled in exasperation, and quickly minded the way he reacted when he turned to his back and realized that Aria was still sleeping. He immediately walked away from the bedroom where they slept through the night, to the living room where he could hear what Alex had to say. "Yes sir. The cameras were surprisingly faulty again at that hour, and we were not able to sue anyone because the cameras could not capture them. No news was published and everything here is fine. They ran a test on the water, and apparently it was mixing with some kind of gas already. There was some kind of gas release beneath the pool, and it had not totally disseminated into the water before you were able to bring Mrs. Miller out. We are investigating everything," Alex reported consistently in words to Dalton on the phone, taking no space like he was reading it from somewhere. He had done a good job and it was commendable. "That is a good one. You can t
Dalton's expression became stiff to shock when he watched the video that was played before him, when he and Alex met later that afternoon at the company. He had dropped Aria off for her therapy which was at the second floor to the last of the hospital, while he rushed back immediately when he heard that Alex was able to get his hands on the footage. However, the video that he was watching before him was so terrifying, that never in his life would he have thought something of such happened. It was quite too much for him to handle when he saw the evil that had happened against her, that it broke his heart so much to stir tears out of already stinging eyes. The camera captured the moment that Aria dropped to the ground from the elevated spot, after someone pushed her from behind which the camera also captured. Though the view of the person dressed in all black was too dark to witness and see, it was evident that she had fallen to the ground after she was unknowingly pushed."Wh
Aria didn't go home that night and just slept on the couch throughout the night, after she turned off all the lights in her office at the shopping mall. It was a lonely and sad night alone for her as she was unable to sleep, coupled with the hunger that was biting on her tummy. There was no coffee maker in her office to even prepare coffee that could suppress her hunger, and the waffles that always accompanied the packs of coffee were at departmental offices. It was hard to keep the hunger that she was feeling in her till around 2:00 am at night, as Aria's eyes flashed open away from forcing herself to sleep futilely. She opened the door to her office and came out to the hallway with barely visible lights, as she crept towards the stairs down to the next floor so as not to cause too many problems by using the elevator. Having memorized every floor and room directions in the mall, Aria was able to locate the doors even without bright lights and also found their inner room.
The car pulled in front of the huge art gallery that was Aria's destination, as she stepped out immediately and made her way to the gate. When she was about to be thoroughly questioned at the gate the normal way they usually did to visitors, Aria used her affluence as Dalton's wife and even asked the people there to confirm it. They apologized for making her wait, and informed her that the head of the gallery was out of seat. Aria just told them that she wanted to take a look at some art, especially the ones from the last exhibition that she was unable to attend. As she made her way into the building, her mind remained so restless and she wondered what she was really going to do inside the gallery. There was nothing that she was most thankful for, than the fact that she would not have to see Eva whom she usually never spoke to. She was the most aloof of all of them, cold and impassive, which usually made Aria pissed anytime she saw her. Even if Dalton was always the sa
It was a hot chase for Collin the previous night that he witnessed a murder, and was startled by the loud voice that demanded to know who he was immediately. He knew that if he was caught, then it was straight death without plea. Immediately he heard the voice, his intestines and every part of him froze immediately. He stopped breathing and remained in a spot as he made sure not to make any sound. He was hiding behind a broken door that was in the temple with a trembling body, as the hand darted directly to where his face was glued to, through the other side of the room and pointed a gun. Through his eyes and right before him, the hand pressed on the gun and shot a bullet which flew out of the cold metal, and pierced through the window it aimed at. More than he had ever been scared to death in his entire life, Collin remained on the spot without moving or making a noise. He was scared out of his mind, but he couldn't afford to die. After a while, the person turned to the
"Why the fuck were the cameras in your company not working?! And on the day that Aria visited?!" Dalton spat angrily at his elder sister, who was forced to visit the mansion with every ruckus that had been happening, ever since Aria's whereabouts was unknown. After an entire day of checking bus points to another and Aria's random manner of boarding cabs, they were able to trace the fact that her last stop was at the ML gallery. It was evening already, but Dalton and Alex rushed to the gallery themselves to confirm. The billionaire didn't understand why Aria would go there because she was not exactly friends with Eva, but just kept good hope as Alex drove as fast as he could to the gallery. The first turnoff was the already locked gate that Dalton shook so violently, to see if it would open. That, insinuated that there was no way anyone would be inside the place. "Shit! She left here already. How on earth do we know where she is now?!" Dalton kicked at the gate angrily, and
Collin's eye remained so fixated on the lady that laid lifelessly on the bed for minutes, as he continuously wondered in his mind what could have caused her to go to the gallery. He didn't need to be told that meeting her being exposed to a harmful gas was an attempt to murder her, in the most gentle and brutal way that would slowly bore a hole into her lungs and kidney if she was left there overnight. The doctor had explained that fact to him, and was really thankful that she was able to escape that fast. However, when the doctor did some further tests for her he noticed some things that were not normal in her health. He advised Collin to bring her to the standard hospital where they could test her further, but transporting her without getting caught was the major problem. Instead, he just did some years of experience test for her, and he figured out that she was having an Illness that only she could say for herself. More than ever, it scared Collin so much in his heart
