LOGINAidan kept raining punches down on Bruce while Malikha, frozen in shock and panic, desperately tried to stop his violent outburst.
"Stop! Please, stop fighting!" she cried, grabbing Aidan's arm.
Blinded by rage, Aidan shoved her away with enough force to send her crashing to the floor before turning back and striking Bruce across the face several more times.
Seeing Malikha thrown to the ground only fueled Bruce's anger. He immediately fought back, landing a hard punch of
Here is a natural, grammatically correct English translation that preserves the exact plot, emotional weight, and ending of the story.Malikha’s eyes slowly fluttered open. Lying on her side, she tried to make sense of her surroundings. She was in a luxurious room, and an IV line was attached to her hand. Accidentally, her hand brushed against something at the edge of the bed. It was a man with dark brown hair, fast asleep right beside her.Her gentle touch woke Aidan from his deep slumber. His eyes widened the moment he realized Malikha was conscious. The night before, she had been moved to a VIP room as her condition steadily improved, and Aidan had been watching over her ever since. A smile spread across his face at seeing her awake."You're awake, sweetheart?" Aidan murmured. He took her fingers and held them gently. Malikha only stared at him. God had brought her face-to-face once again with the man who had ruined her life."Why am I not dead yet?" Malikha murmured back. Aidan mo
Still trembling and unable to breathe properly, Aidan pulled out his phone. He wanted to call Arjoona, but he hesitated for a moment. Ultimately, his finger pressed Arjoona’s number, which he kept on his first speed dial."Joona?" he muttered, his voice barely audible."What's up, Aidan?" Joona asked casually. He had just put Venus, his two-year-old, to sleep."Help me!" Aidan said, his voice dropping to a desperate whisper.The moment Arjoona heard the news from Aidan, he immediately gathered their circle of friends. He arrived wearing a large parka jacket, with Mars and Bryan following close behind."What has he done this time?!" Mars grumbled in annoyance."Don't judge him just yet. Let’s hear his explanation first," Joona replied, trying to calm his friend down. Bryan could only sigh and shake his head in frustration.As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Arjoona searched for the specialized ICU Aidan had mentioned and spotted him standing in one of the corridors. Mars, alr
"I can't take this anymore! I am a human being, Aidan, not a lifeless object you can just lock up like this!" Malikha cried out, sobbing heavily. Aidan and Malikha's relationship was like an egg balanced on the edge of a cliff—one slip, and it would shatter completely."Why do you want to go out so badly? Is it so that you can see that man again?!" Aidan retorted, his voice rising to match hers. He was consumed by jealousy over Bruce, whom he viewed as a massive boulder obstructing his relationship with Malikha. In reality, Malikha wanted to leave the house to return to her job at Noxtrot. She had been furious upon discovering that Aidan had forged a resignation letter in her name."He has nothing to do with this!""How can you say he has nothing to do with it?! You want to go back to Noxtrot and refuse to accept the position at Orcanza. If it isn't to see that Caldwell guy, then what else is it?!" Aidan’s anger flared even hotter, completely unwilling to back down."You won't even le
Aidan was rushed to the hospital alongside Bryan and Mars, who were also injured. His muscles were severely damaged, and he was strictly advised against walking until he fully recovered. Inside the treatment room, Aidan Caesar leaned his head back against the wall. A doctor had just finished treating and stitching up his wounds.Now, Aidan was waiting for his discharge papers. Meanwhile, Bryan was still in surgery to remove a bullet from his left thigh.At Aidan's request, the hospital had contacted Malikha. She arrived in a frantic rush. Caught between his racing thoughts and staring blankly at the ceiling, Aidan finally shifted his gaze forward. His eyes locked with Malikha’s beautiful eyes as she stood before him. Malikha was visibly shaken, completely shocked to see Aidan covered in so many injuries.Neither of them spoke; they just stared at each other in silence. Malikha eventually stepped closer, her body language tense and uncomfortable."T-
"Put on your happy face. All my friends are here, hm!" Aidan whispered before stepping out of his car at Teterboro Airport. Malikha didn't bother to answer; she got out, choosing to play along with Aidan's act.Aidan didn't forget to play the gentleman, holding the door open for his wife before leading her by the hand toward one of the Boeing jets prepared by Atlantic Crown. It was tasked with transporting all the members of The Seven Wolves and their families.Arya Mahendra was the first to greet Aidan. The two men shared a brief hug upon meeting. "Hey, Boss... how’ve you been?" Aidan merely smirked and nodded in response. "Meet my wife, Malikha," Aidan said, introducing her to Arya. "Pleasure to meet you," Arya greeted her warmly. Malikha accepted Arya's handshake with a polite smile."Brema... don't run or you'll fall!" Arya half-shouted as he watched his young son, Agni Bremantya, energe
Malikha panted heavily, her eyes locked on Aidan in front of her. Her hands trembled violently as she pointed the handgun at him—a silver, semi-automatic Raging Bull. She aimed the weapon straight at Aidan, who had just stepped into the bedroom."What are you doing, sweetheart?" Aidan asked with absolute calmness, staring down the barrel of the handgun. He took a step closer, but Malikha held her ground."Don't move!" Malikha commanded, her voice shaking as she kept the gun trained on him. Aidan finally stopped. Her breathing remained rapid as she desperately tried to compose herself. Seeing his wife's behavior, Aidan smirked."Are you going to shoot me?" Aidan asked, his gaze sharp and piercing. Malikha didn't answer; she just kept her arms extended. As he drew closer, Malikha took a step back, though the position of her gun never wavered."Why are you backing a
“Please don’t throw me out. I have nowhere else to go, Mr. Bradford.”Malikha heard the tremor in her own voice and despised it. She had spent years learning how to stand straight, even when the world pushed her down. She had learned to smile when customers looked at her as if she were something ch
Malikha didn’t sleep that night. After Aidan left, she stared emptily, thinking about his apology—not because of the job offer. Aidan had changed in a click. The way he had looked at her before he left somehow made her blush, and she couldn’t stop. Her conscience told her to leave, but her heart as
Malikha forced a smile as she walked into her mom’s room, steadying her breath before anyone could notice the tension in her shoulders. The moment her eyes landed on the tall, handsome, mature man standing near the bed, her smile stretched wider.“Good afternoon, Mr. Caesar,” she greeted politely,
The way he called her made her stomach drop. He left before she could respond. At the same time, Malikha stood frozen in the middle of the bar. Her pulse wouldn’t slow.There was a strange ache in her chest. Why did that man feel like a ghost from a life she tried to forget?Meanwhile, Aidan slamme
