What About Daniel?
Arya was taken by surprise when Aryehn, for the first time, shook his head and refused to take a shower. He loved bath time."No, I want to play with Dad," he said with determination."Go with your mom, son. I'll join you in the pool to play in a moment. How does that sound?" Arya suggested."Yes, Daddy, I want to swim on my belly," he said with a big smile.Arya reached out her arms to her son, and he hugged her. Ayden accompanied them to the bedroom floor. Arya headed to her son's room to prepare everything for his shower, while Ayden entered the room that was now his and his wife's.He never thought his wedding would be like this, but he knew it was fair and necessary for the moment.As he searched for some comfortable clothes, he came across a T”shirt that Daniel had given him, remembering that he hadn't heard from him since his arrest.

Rules to Break
"I would love to tell you that I'm a hundred percent on board with you, but the truth is, that goes against the hospital's policies, and you should know that. You know we shouldn't get involved beyond what's necessary. Medically speaking," he explains. "Moreover, the postoperative hospitalization time is two to three days, in the child's case, as he hasn't had any complications, and his recovery is going well."Robin becomes angry with her because he thought she would support him, but she hasn't. As he checks the nurses' logbook to ensure that the medications have been administered on time, he decides to confess his feelings to Alana."Policies... it's all a damn bureaucratic procedure. We study to save lives, to make sure they're okay. Not to save them and leave them hanging. We should be able to provide follow”up or do the best we can in situations like this. It's something extraordinary; we're not talking about just any child. We're talking about a child who was beaten, a child who

Red or Black?
If Arya Harley had one characteristic, it was that she was careless when it came to her security. Growing up in the mafia-dominated neighborhoods of Boston, she didn't care much about what could happen to her. She was wary of those who seemed like thugs but not of criminals dressed in suits."How much do you bet that in two days, she'll already be escaping from us?" Henry asks Tim while they're in the security room, reviewing the surveillance cameras, as their colleagues were being relieved of their duties."I don't think she's that reckless now that this is happening with Mr. Emory," Tim disagrees. "I say she'll get tired of being cooped up in a week and might escape, but not before. Besides, she'll be alone at home and occasionally with the tutor; she has no one to leave the child with, so I don't think she'll leave."Tim's resolution is hopeful; he hopes that Arya will indeed behave prudently and won't act on her own without considering any of them for necessary outings.What none

The morning was very cold. Aryehn was still asleep, so they brought the baby monitor to the living room to hear in case he woke up.Gabriel was at the front door early in the morning, waiting for someone to open it. Henry, in charge of house security, now had to report the arrival of visitors to Arya first, to see if she authorized them or not."Miss Arya, Mr. Specter is already at the entrance. Should I let him in?" he asked with great formality as she descended the stairs."Yes, please, have him come to the kitchen, Henry," she replied, walking directly to the coffee maker to prepare coffee. Ayden joined her a few minutes later, just as Gabriel arrived."Good morning, sir, Mrs. Emory," the lawyer greeted with formality, shaking hands with the millionaire."Good morning, Gabriel, come in," Ayden indicated the chair in front of him in the dining room."Would you like coffee?" Arya asked, pouring a cup for herself and another for Ayden."Yes, please," he said, taking a few folders from

What You See Is Not What There Is
Ayden Emory was concerned about Arya's safety. He had provided a lot of security for her, yet the feeling of unease wouldn't leave his body. He feared for her and their son."Sir, everything is ready for us to leave whenever you order," John reported over the phone."We'll leave before four in the morning; we need to be in her building before she wakes up and have everything set up," Ayden declared, following the plan."Understood. I'll make some final arrangements for our fake flight tonight," John said before saying goodbye and hanging up.Ayden Emory was worried about the safety of his now wife and son. He knew Arya didn't adhere to the recommended security measures because she didn't care much about her own safety."Sir, everything is ready for tonight," John informed over the phone. "The van is loaded with everything we need to install the cameras in Mark's building.""Great, we'll leave in the early morning. We need to enter the building before my brother leaves so we can verify

He's a Damn Freak
After such a shocking confession, Arya, with her heart equally heavy for her husband, hugged and comforted him until he fell asleep in her arms.

Deep within her soul, she lamented her stubbornness.

Ayden couldn't quantify the love he felt for her, but he knew he would do anything for their son and Arya.Silently, he left the room, making his way downstairs to his office before exiting through the secret door into the hallway that led to the bunker."Hello, John," he greeted his bodyguard when he saw him leaning against the wall, finishing a cigarette. "Do you know anything about our escape?"John took out on

Calculated Casualness
Arya woke up with her son on her mind, an unhealthy concern gripping her as she rushed to Aryehn's room to check on her little one. She opened the door to find him curled up in the middle of his bed. Cautiously, she approached and settled beside him to give him a hug.Aryehn, sensing her presence, turned and nestled against her side."Mommy, I love you," the half-asleep boy murmured, hugging his mother."I love you too, my beautiful boy," Arya replied, holding him close. Over the years, the fear of not seeing him again had been overwhelming. But now that they were together, the fear of losing him paled in comparison to what she had felt before.While Arya contemplated what her husband might be doing at that moment, she allowed herself to enjoy this precious moment with her son. It wasn't until an hour later that Aryehn woke up fully, and they headed downstairs for breakfast."Good morning, Miss Harley," Tim greeted, emerging from his hiding spot and catching Arya off guard."You start

Friends?
Mark's voice echoed loudly in Arya's ear, and she felt disgusted just hearing it."Is something wrong? You don't seem to want to answer," he inquired, feigning concern."Hello, Mark, it's not that. You caught me at a busy time," she lied, hoping he would hang up."I'm sorry; I just wanted to talk and see how you're doing. I heard about the attack and the blame on Ayden; it's all over the news now," he explained in a tone that almost convinced her. "Turn on the TV; it's on every news channel."Arya felt her heart start pounding in her chest. She felt anxious for Ayden, rushed to the living room, and turned on the television, desperately searching for a news channel. The anchor had a photo of her husband on the screen."I told you; it's all over the news," Mark repeated. "Please, tell my brother to be careful. I'll try to keep track of you, but you know I'm short-staffed and can't be in two places at once. Nevertheless... we have a pending conversation, remember?"Arya was taken by surp

My World
Ayden and John take refuge in George's apartment, unable to maintain communication with the outside world."Sir, it's on all the news channels," John comments while continuously flipping through channels."I know, now it will be almost impossible for me to go out. No one can see us," Ayden affirms with an idea forming in his mind. "Besides, the fact that Daniel is missing. We should go look for him.""Not right now, sir, we need to hide," John explains, standing up. "It's best if we don't go back to your house, at least not until it gets dark.""You can stay here as long as you like," George says, taking out a couple of waters and snacks from the fridge. "I live alone, so no one will know you're here."Both John and Ayden exchange glances and accept. After all, they need some rest before venturing out again."Alright, after all, we've hardly slept. A little sleep will do us good," Ayden says, sinking into the sofa."At the end of the hallway, the door on the right is the guest bedroom

History, Part 1
Five days earlier"What's on your mind?" Daniel asks when he sees his friend lost in thought."Mark's mother had a necklace with a ruby. I have no idea what happened to it," Ayden says, frowning, and as soon as the words leave the millionaire's mouth, Daniel feels a chill run down his spine. "Now, more than ever, I suppose Mark has something to do with this.""You're giving him too much credit; he's an idiot," the lawyer says disdainfully, not trying to imagine what he thinks he's imagining. "You know, he can hardly run that hospital. If it weren't for his assistant, it would collapse."Daniel can't pay attention to what's happening; he urgently needs to leave and check if the necklace his wife has is the same one his friend is talking about."Gabriel, it's Daniel, something urgent has come up, can you go for Arya and let her know what's going on? Ayden doesn't want her to find out through the media or let their son know what's happening," he informs while using the hands”free functio
