Goosebumps rose on her skin at how deathly his gaze looked as he interlocked his eyes with hers. “What would have happened if I were a minute late? If I hadn't found you in time. If I lost you again, if you were hurt and your life was in danger…” She took in all the emotions on his face—the rage, the worry, and most importantly, the deep fear in those dark orbs—and her breath hitched. ‘He was scared of losing her.’ She couldn't even be angry at him for his earlier actions. She closed her eyes and softly muttered,“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have.”“You shouldn't have done what?” He asked, and she blinked.“Everything,” she said. She knew what she had done couldn't be forgotten just like that, and she wasn't in the mood to list all her crimes.“Everything?” He repeated.“Yes, everything; I'm sorry for everything I did today,” she said and added. “I was confident because I knew you'd come for me. I knew if he lied about the evidence, you wouldn't let him take me away.” “Yes, I would co
“Kayden… Please… They're watching,” she cried. ‘She was trying to appease him, but why did he look so…hungry and so…turned on, as if he wanted to eat her up right there?’ Aria inwardly wondered, a shiver running down her spine. “Let them watch,” he whispered and turned to look at his men, but they were all looking elsewhere. It seemed the birds in the sky and the rooftop floor were more interesting to look at than their boss flirting with the madam. Mike and Randy's gazes met, and they winked at each other with a silent message passing through their eyes. ‘It seemed the most important person to their boss was this seemingly harmless woman. To think only her words could melt the 1000-year-old ice surrounding the boss, turning him from a prowling tiger to a harmless kitten in just a few seconds.’ Kayden's attention snapped back to Aria, and he pulled her away from his embrace and scanned her whole body with his eyes. “Are you hurt anywhere? Do you feel uncomfortable? Is the baby o
“Boss, your brother has stationed a helicopter on the rooftop of the Hunt Hotel. I'm guessing he wants to take the madam out of the country,” Mike reported the latest update, and Kayden cursed. “Damn it, Andy! Why are you driving the car at a snail's pace? Should I teach you how to drive?” Kayden barked, and Andy felt like crying. The car was already speeding past its limits, and the police were already on their tail but couldn't catch up. How does this compare to a snail's pace? “Sorry, Boss, I'll go faster,” Andy said to appease the big bad wolf behind him and began to drive even faster. ~~~Jayden had reached the rooftop when Simon tapped on his shoulder with a look of urgency on his face. “Sir, we must board immediately; your brother is already at the hotel's main entrance,” he reported. Jayden's eyes darkened as he hurriedly approached the helicopter. Aria noticed how everyone was frantically trying to get on board, assisting Jayden to get on the helicopter as if they were
“Mrs. Ariana Hunt, can you repeat what you just said?” A bold reporter asked. Jayden made eye contact with James, giving him a silent instruction, to which James nodded, disappearing to the side. “Jayden and I are getting a di…” Aria's remaining words went unheard as the microphone went off. She realized what was happening and gently tapped the mic, but it wouldn't respond. Her eyes widened as she realized what was going on and turned to face Jayden with bulging eyes full of disbelief. Jayden tenderly grasped her hand, his fingers intertwining with hers, while his other hand slowly tapped the back of her hand. He flashed a warm smile at Aria, effortlessly drawing the attention of the reporters to his affectionate actions.“Sweetheart, I already told you I love you just the way you are. I'm not going to abandon you. We can do this together; just trust me, alright?” He smiled gently at her, making Aria confused. ‘What the hell was he talking about?’“My wife is suffering from some
“You trust him? What if I tell you Kayden is the reason why you became an orphan? If you knew what he did to your birth mother and father, you'd kill yourself for letting him touch you,” Jayden taunted, and Aria froze. ‘Kayden did something to her birth mother?’ Jayden recalled what Master X told him yesterday. “We need to accelerate our plans against Kayden. He took my wife,” Jayden declared, his voice steady with determination. He wanted to kill Kayden. “Leave your brother and that little wife of yours alone for now… They're going to be mortal enemies soon enough. Have I told you he is the reason your wife is an orphan? ... The big reveal will be happening soon. Just let him enjoy the feeling of having her now so that it'll be more fulfilling if he loses her later,” Master X had said. Jayden had thought the man was joking because he and Kayden were just five years older than Aria. How could Kayden make her an orphan? But hearing the certainty in Master X’s voice, he had realize
“No, please! Let me go!” She protested, violently thrashing her body against him. “Never!” He spat. Aria was filled with fear as the car continued to move away, leaving the hospital behind. ‘Where was he taking her? ... Does Kayden know she has been taken away against her will?’ “Why are you doing this? We are getting a divorce. Where are you taking me? This is kidnapping,” she reasoned, still trying to get out of his hold, but he held her tighter. “Enough! Stop resisting and stop provoking me!” He warned and released her, knowing she had nowhere to escape. Aria scrambled forward and tried to open the car door again, but it was locked. She began to frantically hit the window as if she were crazy, but Jayden just ignored her. He was getting annoyed with how she was treating him like some dangerous criminal. Feeling irritated, he grabbed her ponytail and forcefully yanked on her hair, pushing her face down onto his crotch. “You should be grateful I still want you after you whor
