Bob is impressed with Aria. He thought he would get a mouthy annoying young lady, but to his surprise, Aria is talented and hard-working.
She is hesitating or making a face when he asked for her help to seek out the flowers for the decoration.
They received a fresh batch of Tulips that afternoon and Bob wants to decorate Tulips first, where ever they are needed, and then go after purple orchids the next day.
As Tulips will stay fresh for longer and Orchids might look dull if they are arranged the previous day of the event.
Aria agreed to his idea and they both started to help his decoration crew with the flowers and then with the lights.
Tomorrow they would be busy with food preparation and the Orchid arrangements. They should get the decoration done by 3 the next day afternoon.
The event will start at 7 sharp, but there will be a photoshoot with the bride and groom with their families starting at 4. After that, they can start working
Aria is standing in front of Aiden's office, for the past 10 minutes. She is scared to go inside.'What if he asks for the other 4 kisses. I don't think I am strong enough to resist him' Aria thought with trepidation.Aria bent to her left and Peeked at her friend Claire, who is busy with the same client, with whom she was talking when Aria came down.'If she sees me standing near this door, then no doubt she would come and inquire why I am standing here, instead of going inside?. Aria sighed and took a deep breath.'This is it Aria. You can do this. If he asks you for his kiss, then tell him that, you would kiss him instead of him kissing you. In that way, you could kiss him on his cheek and get it done with' Aria decided.She softly knocked on his door and entered when she heard his 'come in ' through the door.Aria is surprised to see dresses hanging to hangers-on her left side.'Dresses? For whom?' She thought with jealousy.
"Here, try this one. This will suit you" he told her softly.Aria looked at the dress he picked for her and admitted, that it's really nice.She took the dress that he wanted her to try. She walked inside the bathroom and tried the dress.She looked at herself in the mirror and found a beautiful and stylish woman, looking back at her.She walked outside to show it to Aiden.Aiden took one look at Aria in that dress and he decided she looks good in everything she wears.She is looking hot and he is sure many people would be eying her tomorrow."You look beautiful" he complemented her.Aria shuffled on her feet uncomfortably. He always used to tease her, but never complemented her looks like this."Thank you" she whispered softly.Aiden lightly caressed her soft cheek. He wants to pull her towards him and kiss her senselessly. But he know where that would lead to. Aria would begin to think that, he is only after her bod
Aria was so lost in the thoughts of Aiden, that she didn't notice an expensive looking black car sitting in front of her appartment.Her appartment is situated in a nice location, where middle class and decent people will recide in.Expensive cars are rarely found in her locality. Usually the people here has smaller cars or second hand cars.A few people like her uses the public transportation. So she shouldn't have missed the car, if she was not so lost in Aiden's thouughts.Noah, who is sitting in that car, looked at Aria with eyes filled with lust.'You didn't change at all Aria. You look even more gorgeous than before' he thought.Noah lost the hold on his business, but he started to sell drugs on the streets and started to sell woman through online secret websites, with which he is earing lots of black money.He bought his legitimate business back and is playing his dark bussiness in the shadows of his legitimate busin
"What just happened? He ... Did he just threatened me and tried to force me?" Aria thought out loud in shock.She always thought Noah's behaviour is a little odd, since he is pursuing his bestfriends stepsister and Aiden's ex.Aria and Aiden didn't have a regular relationship. They had a fling. They both were attracted to each other and decided to give in to it untill they could wipe each other off their systems.Aiden seems like, he succeeded. And Aria is still stuck somewhere in their bitter sweet past.The most shocking thing is Noah.'Was he always like this? Does Aiden know about his best friend?' Aria thought.But she couldn't help but shiver with fear, with the mere thought of Noah. She doesn't know he would become her worst nightmare one day.'What should I do now? Should I go to the police? But I don't have anyone to stand beside me and prove my point. No one saw Noah entering my building. I don't have anything against him. He
"Noah, it's your friend Noah" she confessed.Aiden is shocked to hear that. These are the same words, her father Martin told him 2 years ago.He thought Martin was lying then. But when Alex came back with the same news after a few days, he couldn't help but believe them, when all the evidence is pointing at Noah.Aiden became angry and went to ask him why he did everything.To his shock, Noah laughed at his face.'Best Friend? You are my enemy. You have everything I always wanted. Good parents, their love, beautiful girls, everything. What do you think? I would sit and keep serving you everything I wanted into yours? No, I am done doing that. Now I decided to snatch everything back from you. Everything ' Noah laughed at his shocked face.Aiden was stunned to hear his confession. He understood Noah is doing everything out of jealousy.'I understood you are jealous of me. Then what did my father do? Why did you kill him?' Aiden questioned Noah
Aria's heartbeat slowed to a normal pace. It might be because the shock of what happened is wearing off or it might be Aiden's presence is making her relax a little.Aria is feeling marginally better than earlier.Aiden is pacing restlessly through the length of her small apartment. Her apartment is good enough for her to stay in it. But with Aiden pacing here and there, it's looking small.Aiden couldn't seem to keep his mind rest for a second. The fact that Noah threatened to force Aria is enough to bring him to the edge.'He threatened Aria''He threatened Aria' that's the only thing that kept repeating in his mind like a loop.If he was trying to talk to Aria for a year already, then he must have had his eyes on her from before. It cannot be all of a sudden.Aiden remembered the picture messages and video messages Alex received on his phone from an unknown number 2 years ago.That's what told him that Martin is the one
"You miss him?" Aria asked Aiden, regarding Noah.Aiden understood her question perfectly."Yes, we did everything together for as long as I could remember. But he was never the friend I thought he is. I was blind to not see through him right away" Aiden confessed.What he didn't tell her was, it's difficult to keep missing a person who killed your father. Yes, Aiden misses Noah sometimes. But as soon as he remembers what he did, anger and bitterness take control."Enough of this. You should go and pack your stuff" Aiden said firmly.Aria is reluctant to go with Aiden. But she doesn't have any other choice as well. She has no one to rely on and Noah is a criminal who would kill anyone if they anger him."Ok" Aria agreed finally and packed her clothes and whatever she needs for a few weeks.When she is done, Aiden helped her with her bag. He carried it for her and let it sit in the back seat of his car. He looked around discreetly and s
"What a pleasant surprise. What brings you to my humble abord?" Alex teased Aiden.In these past years, they became best friends.Aiden rolled his eyes at Alex's words."Since when did you become a drama queen?" Aiden sat in the chair opposite to Alex."Me? Drame queen, you are not at all fun" Alex said playfully.Aiden shook his head at Alex."You are changing" Aiden muttered.Alex laughed out loud at that comment."Ya, I guess I am" Alex admitted."So tell me, what brings you here?" Alex asked seroiusly, back to bussiness. All traces of humour gone from both of their faces."Noah" Aiden muttered his name as a curse.Alex is shocked by Aiden's declaration."What did he do this time? You met him or something?" Alex asked with concern.Aiden sighed heavily."I didn't meet him. He found Aria" Aiden revealed.Alex knows Aiden loves Aria and she is no where to be found. She dissapeared two years ag
