Doing it right
Dressed in a dress of dull colour and weird shape from her preselected clothes in the past, Aria still couldn't help but look attractive in the cloth that was meant to make her look depressed. She had no make-up on and had not done her hair either after she woke up that morning, drenched and tired from her nightmares that seemed to have gotten worse. To make the night a really uninteresting and boring one, she stayed away from the bed without talking to Dalton, who remained in his study after they returned back home. He knew that she was so pissed off at him and how he was trying to make decisions for her, but thought it was about the fact that he didn't believe her when she said someone was chasing after her. She hated that he was trying to meddle into her own personal affairs, when they had not even talked about what her past had been like, or what triggered every mess of her life that he was just getting to notice. It didn't really matter much to her if they remained on

Blind date gone wrong
"How do you think I look? Do I look outstanding?" Ellen asked her sister who was lying on the bed, and watched how her sister continuously checked her face on the huge mirror over and over again. "I thought you said it was for the formality, and that you literally do not want to go on this date," Emma countered immediately, which made Ellen snicker at her younger sister. She was never the kind to give sarcastic replies to questions in the past, and barely talked back even if she wanted to say things out. But it seemed like associating closely with her elder sister had made things begin to change, that she could now make jokes and laugh loudly if something was funny."I am a Miller, Emma. I need to look perfect and extremely beautiful, without acting like I have put too much effort into looking gorgeous too. Everything just has to complement perfectly," she replied to Emma, and continued to check out her simple but gorgeous dress in the mirror, "I just hope he is not a messed up du

The thin line
"That bastard! I cannot believe that I swallowed my pride and showed my interest in him. He turned me down. He fucking turned me down," Ellen panted and ranted at the same time storming to and fro every corners in the room, fuming beyond normal and unable to catch her breath. She had never been outrightly rejected by a man in that sort of polite manner, on any of the blind dates that she had gone to. However, it was hard to fathom what she did wrong, that made it even seem like the guy's outlook changed when he turned to see her. She remembered his freezing smile when their eyes first met. 'Had they met somewhere before? Does he know her so personally?' "I really cannot believe that this date would totally get ruined for you. You probably weren't the woman of his dreams," Emma, who was just ready to leave the house, stood in front of the mirror to adjust her dress. She had replied to her sister in a frivolous tone, peppered with sauciness which made Ellen more bitter. "Is that

Confession and a surprise
In the huge suite space was a man sitting on one of the comfortable leather chairs, which directly faced the walls of glass that reflected his image exactly the way he sat. As if it was different having to look at himself while sitting, he conceitedly stared at the reflective glass till his assistant had to wait extra more minutes while standing. Realizing that Alex was present in the room already, Dalton stood up and ambled around the large space, with so many thoughts running through his head. He had always been so keen about tremendous success and he was achieving it, but the feelings that he knew about and had not constantly occurred to him so much in the past, were resurfacing and disturbing him greatly. His wealth and power kept him going so that he didn't have time to think much about those things, but it seemed like some kind of therapy was going on in his body even without seeing a doctor. Like some kind of eye opener. He was beginning to notice the things he usu

A not so beautiful reunion
"Why is Dalton's wife in your pool?!" Hailey demanded shockingly from the half-naked man in the pool, who was directly in front of another person's wife. Aria was still wondering how on earth Hailey was able to enter into a house that was locked, and how closely she knew Collin to talk to him like that. She had never heard him talk about Hailey to her ever, and it was quite a shock. "What are you doing here, Hailey? After all this while?" Collin shot a cold look at the lady ranting before them, and it was quite a side of Collin that Aria had never seen before. She speculated immediately that there must be some bad blood between them, because Collin was not the kind of guy to give such cold welcomes. "Does Dalton know about this? That you are cheating on him?" She asked Aria who was stepping out of the pool in a very disregarding tone with a smirk, and turned to Collin, "You are messing with Dalton's property? Are you ready to give up your life?!" She yelled at him. Aria just

A step to fallout
"I do not think anything that Hailey would say or do now, would actually have an effect on Dalton or change his perspective towards Aria. I can say that, hmnnn……" Emma sucked in her breath in an attempt to mull over her next word, so as to use the right word for it, "Maybe he is love?" "Hunh hunh. Isn't that too much of a word to use? Especially when their marriage is ending in a few months. Love is a big word I tell you," Ellen said and stood up immediately to grab her MacBook from where she put it. She had made an order for event planners at a well known agency for her birthday party, and she wanted to check if the progress of her plans were going smoothly. For the makeup artist and hairdresser, she had made a reservation at the best place in the city. "It doesn't even matter to me. I am just happy in my heart, at the fact that Dalton actually has some warm place in his heart, and the capability to fall in love. It is so surreal that I thought I'd never see it," Emma smiled. "

A light at the tunnel's end
"Make the invitations slots for top A-list celebrities and socialites," Ellen ordered the head maid and planner, as she walked around every corner of the house in a confused manner, "I do not want elites that are thirty five years and above. Minimize the numbers accordingly," she continued. "I think you might want to invite some people from your high school, and even the elite clubs that you have joined in the past," Emma reminded from the dining room where she sat, to apply glitter nail polish over her newly fixed nails, "Also, remind mum not to invite her clumsy club circle of friends. She has been out of the house since morning.""I certainly do not want to invite all of them, and that is why there is going to be an online entry where they know their fates," Ellen stated, and stormed out of the dining room again to check how the entire food preparations with the chefs were going, "Yeah. I have repeated it to her a thousand times.""Your socialism sucks. You literally have no real

Not all that you see
Few hours into the party, the gorgeously dressed celebrant was panicking inwardly, even with everything already perfectly set. The invitees were confirmed through their online entry slot and the situation of things looked perfect, with no form of disappointment from anyone. However, the only thing that made Ellen so sad and stressed out, was the fact that her brother was not yet back from his so-called traveling for almost three days. His phone number had been unreachable for too long, and his assistant who later picked their mother's call after so long, said everything was okay. Ellen had tried to remain fine during the course of finalizing everything for the party, but she was really scared that her brother would end up not attending. If anything, Dalton's presence was the most important for her, because it would add much value and respect to her grand party. "Has Dalton picked his calls? Is he coming?" Emma asked as soon as she entered the dressing room to see her sister

His protection, his love
"So you do remember that you have some wife somewhere after so long right?" Aria, who was feeling elated when he took her out of the shameful ladies' midst, before she ended up smashing bottles against their heads in anger, asked him. He came at the perfect time just to whisk her away for himself, and she couldn't be more than proud that he knew the perfect timing to arrive. However, her capricious mood had to kick in again, so that he wouldn't just have his way that easily with her, after he had gone without calling even once. "And why do I feel like this dear wife of mine is angry about something, that I should know," he said amusingly again, staring at her beautiful face and how her expression had quickly switched from happy to pissed. He sure missed that look. "I am not angry. All I am saying is that...... Why did you even come to take me away from that place? I was about to teach those ladies some lessons that they would never forget in a hurry," she diverted her anger toward

The truth you hate
"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
