After he snapped at Natasha, Aiden turned in the direction where he saw Aria fit the last time.
When he saw her a couple of minutes ago, she was talking with a kind old lady. But now, the old lady is standing there alone, and there is no sign of Aria.
The old lady pointed towards the exit door helpfully. Aiden nodded his head in thanks.
He walked out of the party, leaving a red-faced Natasha in the middle of the mess she started.
"Natasha" her father slapped her on her face with anger.
"Dad" she cried with pain embarrassment.
"I told you time and again not to embarrass me like this. But you are shameless and an idiot. Why did you decide that it's a good plan to make a scene in the middle of my friend's Son's engagement party?" Natasha's father snapped at her angrily and pulled her out of the party with an apologetic look towards his friend's family.
After they left, the party resumed again.
On the other hand, Aria changed i
Aria sat in one chair and Aiden occupied the other.He served food on two plates.Aria's mouth watered at the smell of food."Where is Natasha?" Did she blurt out without thinking?Aiden looked at her with confusion."How would I know?" Aiden answered with a frown.'Ha? I thought he must have accepted her proposal and they would have been dancing happily by now. The way she proposed in front of everyone is so.. Bold and reckless. I thought he would be impressed by that kind of behavior. Then what happened?' she thought with confusion.Aria looked at him with a confused frown."I mean, she was proposing you so openly in front of so many people. I thought you must have accepted her proposal. So, I thought this is all for her" Aria pointed out at the food in front of them.Aiden snorted sarcastically."If you would have stayed there a little while longer, then you would have known that's not the case. It's far from it. I hate
'You should know the full truth before concluding that' Aiden's words kept repeating even after a long time.They both retired into their rooms, but Aria couldn't sleep. She kept remembering the time she spent with her father, their happy moments.And the sad ones, where she couldn't forget about their sad times, where she and her mother cried for the loss of him."Why did you do that dad? Why did you leave us?" She thought out loud.She got up and rummaged her closet for the old photo album, she always prefers to keep with herself.She opened the pages and remembered the time and the moments they were taken when they were still with their father.In a few, he was carrying her on his shoulders, when she was just a little girl. In one picture, he was swinging her and she was laughing.As time passed by, their happiness too increased. But then again, he decided to leave them suddenly.She sighed and touched his face with her finger
The next morning, Aria woke up with little sleep and feeling restless.She finished her morning routine and went into the kitchen for some much-needed coffee. When she stepped out of her room, she saw Aiden milling around in the kitchen.By the looks of it, he is cooking something.Aria felt like bad. He kept doing everything and she is not even helping him."Good morning," she said sheepishly.Aiden turned his head to look at her with a smile."Morning" he greeted back and immediately turned towards his breakfast.Aria approached him curiously, to see what he is cooking.She stood behind him and peeked curiously.That's when she saw him flipping pancakes."Do you need some help?" She asked him."Ya, can you make my coffee? Black" he told her."Sure" she agreed and proceeded to make both of their coffees. She likes a lot of cream and three sugars in her coffee.But he drinks it bla
Aria dialed Claire's number.Claire just clocked in and was just switching on her system, when she received a call from Aria.She smiled widely and answered the call."Hey, you" Claire greeted with a grin.But Aria is having a situation here. So even though she wanted to greet Claire as she greeted, she was forced to act professionally in front of their guest."Claire, I just need a small confirmation from you" Aria said in a professional tone.Claire frowned her eyebrows. But she didn't understand what is happening here. So she decided to go by the way Aria wants her."Yes, what can I do for you?" She asked.Aria sighed with relief, that Claire is not asking any questions like she wanted to, but is helping her instead."We have a guest who claims that he lost his wallet. Can you please check in the safe if anyone handed over the lost wallet last night?" Aria asked Claire.Claire frowned.'It's not he
Natasha walked into the posh expensive looking cafe, with her sun glasses on, to hide her red puffy eyes. She removed her mobile from her designer hand bag and looked at a message, she received a couple of minutes ago.After reading the message, She looked around the cafe and found Noah sitting alone near the back corner table. He seems to be nursing what looks like a coffee.Natasha walked towards the table and made herself comfortable in the chair opposite to his."Long time no see Noah" she said in a way to greet him.Noah raised his eyebrows, at her stuck up attitude. He never know what he saw in her in the past. But she is a bitch.Aria on the other hand is soft and innocent. Not at all bitchy like Natasha.'When I make her mine, I will make her as compliant and soft towards me as she is towards Aiden' he thought."I thought you would be busy stalking Aiden. I didn't think you would have time for me" Noah replied in the same bitch
Natasha is currently standing in the lobby of the 'Ari hotel', glaring at Aria, who is talking with a receptionist girl.Aria is laughing and smiling happily.'You look really happy Aria. I thought you wouldn't come back ever again. But here you are, smiling and laughing just in front of Aiden's office.Natasha hates Aria with a passion. She hates her for stealing Aiden away from her.'If it's not for you, then he would have been mine' Natasha thought with hatred.She is fully prepared to use Noah's plan. She is determined to separate them at any cost. She thought back about the plan Noah told her just an hour ago."What do mean by she came? I thought she would never return back" Natasha asked Noah, in the cafe they met that morning.Noah smiled a humorless smile.'I thought the same too. I thought she would slap him on his face the moment she sees him. Noah wished for the same when he heard that, she went for an interview in the Ari h
"Oh, so you are really back? When Aiden told me you came back, I thought he was joking. I came to say hi to you myself" Natasha behaved as if she is close to Aiden.Aria is lost for words.'Aiden told her? But last night he told me that he is not with Natasha. Are they friends? But she proposed her love to him last night. Were they friends before that? But according to Claire, he didn't like her that much. Then what is she trying to prove here' Aria doubted Natasha's motive.But she didn't comment anything. Just looked at Natasha with a doubtful gaze.Because she clearly remembers Aiden saying that, he hates women without self-respect. According to what Claire just told her, Natasha clearly lacks self-respect.If Aiden drove her away time and again, but if she is still coming back, then that means she doesn't have an ounce of self-respect.But the question is, why did she come here today? What did she want?Aria still remembers w
Aiden heard some commotion just outside his office.'What is this noise?' he thought.He decided to go and check it himself. But the moment he stepped outside, he stopped dead in his tracks.Aria is on the verge of crying and Natasha has a smug expression on her face. There is a small group of people around them.Claire is glaring at Natasha and is looking at Aria with concern."What the hell is happening here?" Aiden asked angrily.The moment he saw Natasha, he knows she is here to cause trouble.The hurt expression on Aria's face is proof.When Aria saw Aiden, the tears she was trying so hard to control began to roll down her cheeks.Natasha on the other hand is not so happy to see Aiden there. She thought she would have some time until he would notice that there is something wrong. By that time, she thought she could drive Aria away.But he appeared earlier than she wanted him to appear.'Shit, he would ruin
