Aviana walked in his office. As usual, Ethan sat back on his desk, completely immersed in his work as he went through the different files, checking whether everything was in order. This was the second day since they confessed their love for each other, for the first time. Aviana had decided they keep it a secret because, people will always be people, she didn't want them spreading rumors about her, that she was only with him because of his money, which of course wasn't true. But, now that she was his woman, how was she supposed to treat him? She was his personal Assistant and he was her boss, that fact couldn't be avoided. Probably, she would act professional while in the office, and maybe, just maybe, do other things that couples normally do when they were out alone, and out of the company premises. As she came to this conclusion, she walked towards his desk. Ethan, on the other hand, had still not raised his head to give her a glance. She was a little disappointed, but then again, s
Aviana walked out of the room and shut the door close. Then, she leaned her head on the door and slowly shut her eyes close, a smile curving on her lips. Meanwhile, Scarlet had just walked in and stood a few inches away from her, as she watched her leaning on the door. She walked over to her and was about to patt her on her shoulder, when she unexpectedly turned around. Aviana froze on the spot as soon as she locked eyes with her, and she almost forgot how to breath. Scarlet couldn't help furrowing her brows as she looked up at her. "Aviana, what is it? Why are you standing at the door, why don't you go in?" she questioned, a little frown settling on her face. Aviana remained silent. She just didn't know what to say at all. After all, she had been caught off guard, she wasn't expecting for Scarlet to show up. "Aviana, is there a problem? Are you okay?" she asked, yet again, when she didn't get a response from her. She couldn't help becoming worried about her, because she looked like
Time passed by so quickly. It was already four o'clock in the evening, Aviana was getting ready to leave the office for home . She packed up her belongings and before she went out, she passed by Ethan's office to bid him goodbye. Then, she strode out of the building and headed to where Rao usually parked the car. Rao was yet to arrive so she stood on the pavement as she awaited for him. Time passed by and Rao was yet to arrive. She stood there for a while and from time to time, she often glanced at her phone, checking the time. She were already running late. She sighed deeply and decided to wait for a few more minutes, maybe he would show up. Few minutes later, Aviana watched as a high end, dynamic, expensive four-door sedan drove past her and halted few steps away from her. She took few steps back as she watched the driver open the front door and stepped out. He matched towards her, his gaze on her, and Aviana couldn't help the frown that was already starting to form on her face. "
Aviana remained squatting on the ground for a long time, as she sobbed bitterly. She stopped sobbing when she noticed her phone ringing. She searched for it through her bag, and once she'd gotten it, she glanced at the caller id. It was Ethan calling. She wanted to answer the call, but she were hesitating. She didn't know what to tell him, she didn't know if she should tell him the truth? She glared at the phone ringing, without picking it up until it cut. At this point, she realized there were seven missed calls all of which were from Ethan. She knew, he must have been worried for her. Rao must have arrived and found she'd left. And, maybe he reported to Ethan, maybe that's why he had been calling her phone. All this while, she'd been crying bitterly, engulfed in the situation, she failed to notice her phone ringing. He was calling, again. This time, she took a breather, composed herself and answered the call. "Hello Ethan. What's up?" she spoke calmly, trying to mask her sadness.
The car stopped in front of the large villa. Ethan jumped out of the car and walked to the passenger's seat at the front and opened the door for Aviana. Aviana stepped out of the car, and she couldn't help smiling at Ethan's gentle-like gesture. "Thank you," she said softly, smiling. "The pleasure is all mine," he responded, smiling back at her. Then, he moved to bring out the shopping bags from the car. Aviana attempted to help him carry the bags, but he was quick to refuse her. Aviana didn't ponder on it much, she walked behind him and headed inside. But, before they could walk into the house, Hayden rushed to them. He had heard the car drive in, so he came here rushing knowing fully well it was Ethan. "Ethan, you came!" he screamed happily as he rushed to him and suddenly held him by his waist, hugging him tightly. Aviana somehow, felt jealous. Because, the little boy was her brother, but as it is now, it looked like Ethan was the little boy's brother? She stood there, like a st
Ethan stepped out of his room and headed downstairs. At the dining table, Scarlet casually sat at her usual spot at the table and enjoyed her breakfast without any care in the world, as if she hadn't sneaked into his room and tried to invade his privacy. Her back was facing him, so she didn't notice him walk down the stairs as he headed towards the door. Ethan didn't spare her a glance either, as he was in a hurry to go on a date with his love. As soon as she heard the footsteps, Scarlet turned her whole body around so that she was now facing him, and she couldn't help the deep line that was starting to form on her face when her eyes met him. "What's going on? Where are you going, dressed like this?" she asked while she continued to scrutinize his clothes from head to toe. "isn't it obvious? I'm heading out, of course," he said drily. "Dressed like this? And, you haven't had your breakfast yet?" she continued to bombard questions at him. "I'll grab something to eat on my way.
"So, where are we headed to?" Aviana asked as soon as Ethan climbed in the car, while she continued to buckle up the seat belt."Wherever you wanna go, baby," came his simple reply, not forgetting to give her a brief smile. Aviana was taken a back by the word 'baby' The way it sounded when he said it, felt so good. She couldn't help smiling as she gazed at him, her eyes filled with love and affection for this man who sat beside her. After a while of staring at his gorgeous face, Aviana sighed deeply before she replied back, "Well, how about we try the amusement park, first?""What! Are you a kid? The park is only meant for kids?" he teased her."Well....I'm my mother's child!" she blurted out, finding no other words to refute him. He laughed. Then, he started the engine and drove off. From a far, a black car was parked at the other side of the road. The car waited for a few seconds until Ethan's car had driven for quite a distance before the driver took off, following behind their car
Avi instantly turned to look at the man who made her lose the game as she glared at him, the word "seriously" written all over her face. She was extremely furious. The game had just began and she already lost? Because, he just couldn't control his strength? Ethan, on the other hand, glared back at her, oblivious of the daggers that were being thrown at him. Then, he walked past her as he casually placed his hands in his pocket."Now, it's my turn to play," he said, in the midst of rolling up the sleeves of his shirt ready to start with the game. Avi sighed helplessly. 'Why did he seem like he made me lose the game on purpose? Well, if that's the case, then I would make him have a taste of his own medicine. There's no way I'm gonna let him off just like that!' she thought, now, making up her mind to make him lose just like he'd done to her. With that, she walked up to him and said,"Honey, how about I spin it for you. Earlier, you mentioned that you've never played this game before. It
