33 Is he tensed?

When Elaina entered the mansion, everyone was busy with their stuff except Amelia And Elliot. Amelia grabbed her hand and led her to her room. Elliot followed them.

“You know what? Bro didn't stay home for a few minutes even. Without you, we had seen the same brother before you entered his life,” Amelia was chirping like a bird. Suddenly, her smile saddened. She paused and looked at Elaina with a lot of hope in her eyes.

“What happened?” Elaina caressed her cheek as she felt the sadness on her face and mind. Elliot hugged both girls and whispered on Amelia’s behalf, “Thank you for giving us our brother back.”

“What did I do?” Elaina shrugged off as nothing was done by her. However, Aaron’s behaviour changed after she arrived in his life. She also knew it. She hugged both of them and led them inside the bedroom.

The entire day was passed preparing for the wedding. Almost all things were accomplished by Myra and Elaina.

“Have some rest; we will leave for Udaipur tomorrow,” Myra caressed Elaina’s back. She further greeted her, “Good night, sweetheart. I take a lot of work from you today.”

“It's ok, Mom,” Elaina smiled and yawned. She greeted Myra back, “Night, Mom.”

Both separated with a sweet smile. Myra thought before opening her bedroom door, “How can I rest, Mom? Especially When your son is in my bedroom.”

A blush smile hovered over her face. She got in to find Aaron coming out of the walk-in closet.

“Hey, when did you come?” Elaina asked and headed slowly toward the bed. Aaron didn't respond and grabbed his phone to check the notifications. She asked, “Did you have dinner or not yet?”

Still, no reply.

“Aeyy, I am asking you something,” Elaina irritated by his ignorance. Her tone was too high, but still no response. She muttered, “Why is his name Aaron? His name must be…”

Before she could finish, he stumbled to her and locked her lips with his. He whispered between the kisses, “I'm hungry and dying to eat you.”

She blushed between the kiss, And they deeply spun into a passionate kiss. Before she could say anything, he made her sleep in his arms. Elaina was tired of all her work today. She slept as soon as she felt his comfortable embrace.

Aaron was peeking at his sleeping beauty. He was amazed; how could someone be so calm and pretty? He was admiring his lady, who made him crazy for her.

The next day, Aaron talked to Angad, and his family was boarding on their private jet. Elliot shouted, “Come on, Elaina.”

“Coming,” Elaina replied while looking at Aaron, who was Still busy. She twitched her lips and made her way towards the jet.

She occupied a seat for herself and looked at the right side; she gasped with awe, “Misha…”

“Hello,” Janki chirped from another side.

“Mom, you too,” Elaina smiled broadly, seeing her loved ones with them in the jet. She hugged Janki and welcomed her. She asked, “Where is Dad?”

“He said that he would be there a day before the wedding day,” Janki replied with a huge smile on her face. Elaina broke the hug and excused herself after a few minutes. Then she embraced Misha, “Hi, Mishi... I thought I would not get a chance to meet you.”

“Hello,” Misha sheepishly smiled and hugged her back. She added, “Your so-called husband brought me here.”

Elaina laughed at her comment. Soon, they got busy with their talks. Elliot interrupted, “I can understand that your friend came and you are meeting her after a long time. But that doesn't mean you forget us.”

Amelia pouted, folding her hands to her chest and in a complaining tone, “It’s ok, you forgot us, but what about my brother? You forgot him, too.”

Elaina smiled, “So, sorry, baby.”

“Come here,” Elaina pulled Elliot and Amelia close to her. She introduced them, “Meet her, she is my friend Misha and Misha, meet my sister-in-law Amelia and brother-in-law, Elliot. Both are Satan.”

“Sis-in-law,” Amelia pouted.

“Awww,” Elaina pampered her so much. She looked at the entry gate again, but there was no glimpse of him. She put her attention back to their talks.

“Let me check on your brother,” Elaina excused herself and made Amelia and Elliot busy with Misha.

Elaina went towards the entry gate and took a look around. Aaron and Angad were still in the same place and talking. She looked at them, which Angad noticed in a few seconds. He acknowledged Aaron, “Madam is looking for you.”

Aaron nodded and whispered while moving toward the jet, “take the bastard with us. I can not let him go so easily.”

“Boss…”

“Do as I said,” Aaron sternly replied and headed toward the airstairs. Elaina smiled as he appeared on the airstairs.

“Is everything alright?” Elaina asked.

“Yup,” Aaron tangled his hand around her waist and dragged her inside the jet.

After one and a half hours, they reached Udaipur. As u reached to the lake Pichola, Amelia gasped for air, peeking at the breathtaking view of the ancient palace.

“What the fuck!” Elliot removed his goggles and looked at the view. Elaina pushed his jaw to shit his mouth.

“It's completely in the water, am I dreaming?” Elliot was still shocked, finding the real charm of the palace, which was now converted into a hotel.

“It's in the middle of the lake Pichola,” Elaina proudly informed. Aiden and Pihoo were also shocked, they had never visited Rajasthan before.

Aaron had arranged a private Ferry to reach the hotel. It was waiting for them. Amelia asked, “How old is it?”

“It was built in 1743 to 1746,” Elaina said while climbing the stairs. Pihoo coughed hard and mesmerized, “Just out of words, wow!”

“Let's go, I can't wait,” Amelia jumped to climb the ferry. One by one everyone gets in. Elaina was observing Aaron, he seemed worried about something. She wanted to ask but couldn't dare to ask.

She thought for a while and caught Angad while finding a place to sit. Angad was nearby her, and she asked, “Angad Ji, is your boss worried about something?”

“Nothing, ma’am,” Angad replied hesitantly and averted his gaze.

“What can bother him? None can even tease him, bothering is the far-away thing. If anyone would even try, he or she would jump in his own grave within the next second,” Elaina thought and looked at Aaron. He was still silent and busy with his phone.

Elaina and other family members' time was fantastic as they had a lot of fun with each other. Elaine also mixed up with them. They got their respective rooms and everyone got busy in settling their luggage.

“Where is he?” Aaron asked as he confirmed Elaina is inside the room.

“This way,” Angad pointed toward the opposite of Aaron’s room. Angad followed Aaron without waiting for his instructions.

“Did you check all the security measures, also confirmed all the workers working here?” Aaron asked. He and Angad had tripled the security this time. A single mistake can lead their family to the graves.

“Everything is perfect and even we had access to all the cctv of the hotels and we also added some from our sources.” Angad assured him.

After a few minutes of walk, Angad opened a locked room, which was in the basement area. Someone was tied on a chair, and the dark room was adding more horror to the atmosphere.

Aaron pulled a chair before the man and asked, “Why were you following her since she came to India?”

The man laughed wickedly, and said, “I say or not, you will not spare me. If I am going to die, why would I tell you?” The man laughed wickedly. His malicious laugh echoed in the dar room.

Aaron pulled out a knife and cut the thumb of this man. The man screamed in pain and started crying loudly due to pain. His screaming sound was tearing the blood of Aaron. But nothing bothered him.

“Ssshhhhh,” Aaron held his left hand and asked him to keep quiet. The man sobbed silently though he winced in pain.

He understood his silent warning of Aaron, “A low whimper and his left hand would be cut next.”

“Start,” Aaron started playing with a blood-soaked knife.

“Ishan sent me after her,” The man replied while crying and aching hand, which was bleeding from the thumb.

“Why?” Aaron asked surprisingly.

“He wanted to know whom she met and why?” The man retorted. He cried, “I don't know more, Sir.”

Aaron stabbed the man thrice within a few seconds. The man screamed and trembled on the chair with pain. Aaron never explained his reasons, but Angad knew that this man would not be forgiven by Aaron because he had followed Elaina, his heart. So there was no hope for his survival.

“Ivana…” The man screamed at the last breath. Aaron was moving toward the exit, and his legs froze. Neither he could move further, nor move back. He slowly whirled, but the man was already dead.

“Catch, Ishan…” Aaron ordered and made his way toward his room in the hotel.

“Ivana…” The name was still reverberating in his mind. Elaina was arranging the stuff, when Aaron got in.

He drank a glass of water and placed the empty glass with a thud. The last word of dying man again echoed in his brain, “Ivana…”
