Chapter 61
Carla woke up to the sun rays beaming on her face and the birds chirping wildly. Peering her eyes open, she was met with the same white ceiling of their room. She groaned and looked down but was met with disappointment.
Aeden wasn’t there. She was alone.
She looked at the wall clock to see it was half-past nine. Sitting up with a jerk, panic settled in her chest. She waited for Aeden one whole day but he showed up the next day morning at five. Now he wasn’t here, again. She didn’t want to think he was going to do something disastrous but that thought still pricked her.
She pushed the duvet off her body, she ran out of the room in search of him. As soon as she reached the end of the stairwell, a strong aroma of crispy bacon hit her nostrils. She stilled for a moment and snapped her head towards the obvious place, the kitchen.
She looked out the large French windows to barely notice any guards out and furrowed her brows in confusion. One t

Approximately one and a half months later.CarlaSinking down in my comfortable chair, I looked up from my laptop screen and focused my gaze outside the window admiring the beautiful view of the skyscrapers.But the moment was short-lived and I shrugged my shoulders and looked down on the keys of my computer.I was still mad at Aeden for abandoning me with some random strangers. I hadn’t heard or seen from either of the siblings or anyone them as a matter of fact since that day.Stupid stupid move!Who does that?He could have fucking spoken to me but he didn’t. I didn’t like it one bit. He didn’t even ask me if I wanted to go or stay. If he’d just asked me, I would have probably stayed back.I glanced at my wristwatch and packed up my stuff, shutting my computer off and putting it in my bag. I had resumed my work shortly after I found myself lying in the bed, alone and ab

Caught up in work, she hadn’t realized when hours had passed and it now was seven in the evening.Her phone pinged up with a new notification but she ignored it like she had been doing for hours now. But when the constant sound of several notifications kept annoying her, she decide to put her phone on silent mode.As she took ahold of her phone, she noticed several messages from an unknown number. Unlocking the phone she read the messages, which were images, and a sudden dread kept in, looking at all the images that had been sent to her.They were several images of her. Taken the same way, in the starting she received a few stalking images of herself. Like the one in the hospital and Aeden’s penthouse. She had not given it much thought as she didn’t get any more pics after that and brushed it off thinking it was Aeden. Gulping, she swiped across her phone, looking at all the images of her.As she was scrolling through her the photos, her

“It wasn’t his mistake,” Carla breathed out.“Really?” Cliff scoffed.“Yes. Nobody has to pay for someone else’s deeds,” She said trying to inhale but the copper taste in her mouth and the pungent smell of blood didn’t allow her to.“You remember the time, you crashed into another car?” He quirked his brow up looking at her.“That was me. That was when it all began. That was my signal to being.”“It started with me finding my then long-lost and now dead brother, Steve. I didn’t have to do much. He was already a fool. A fool who was madly in love with you after one night. Wonder what magic you possess that, this idiot fell for you after one night in bed with you.”“I got what I needed from him. He told me all after I faked that I missed him all my life. I did miss my sibling, but not as much as I exaggerated. Then he told me everything I need

“Why?”She fell backward, and let her eyes droop. Before she could land a harsh hit to the ground, strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her closer to a strong chest.She was hoisted up and carried out in bridal style. But as soon as the blood from her thigh dripped oh his arm he paused to look. When he noticed the dripping red liquid, anger burned through.With a low growl, he pressed her tightly and protectively against his body and marched out to his car, not caring about the way men moved in and out of the building.He carefully placed her on the passenger seat and moved to the other side. He noticed, Pearl, standing by the paramedics. She passed him a small smile and he returned it with a nod, pursing his lips.He sat in and stole one last glance at the woman resting on the passenger seat before driving off.The constant and loud tapping of foot was heard through the quiet hallway. Occasional huffing

CarlaWas I doing the right thing?Too much thinking will make me regret my decisions.I take the pill bring it closer to my lips and hold the glass of water with my shaking hands. I didn’t want my child to have to grow when it can never be safe.I don’t think Aeden knows about this so it's better if he never finds out. It will be for the best. I don’t even know how he will react if he finds out. I just don’t want to hear the negative ones, if he didn’t like the idea of having children.Gulping, I place the pill at the seam of my lips. My heart was thudding rapidly against my chest. Closing my eyes I take a deep breath in.No. Don’t you will become a murderer!My consciousness mocked me and that itself was enough to push the chair back and spring up and throw the pill away.“Carla! What the hell!” I heard Aeden from behind and I turned to him he pulled th

“We need to talk,” Carla burst her way into his study, without bothering about what he was doing.She stooped in her tracks, panting as she noticed two men who sat before him in their business suits, whose eyes were now focused on her. Her chest heaving as she clenched her fists by her sides and narrowed her eyes on Aeden, who was quite as startled as the men before him were.“Excuse me. Can we continue this sometime later?” He asked the two men, drawing their attention back to him from his wife.“Yes.”“Sure.”They replied simultaneously and walked out. Aeden pushed the chair back and stood up as the menexited and walked to the door and closed the door behind him.“What is it?” He asked softly as he made his way toward her and held her cheek from one side.“I-I can’t do this. No.” She

AedenSighing, I picked up my phone and my wallet before heading out the door. It was way past ten and it was highly uncommon for me to stay in my late mother’s office for so long.I didn’t usually visit this place because it ran smoothly unless someone decided to fuck it all up. An employee thought it was cool to randomly blurt out the ideas of the upcoming project to one of the rival company employees and I had to come down to fix his shit.I hadn’t estimated that it was going to be of so much trouble when I left home this morning but turns out, it was big. When it was past ten was beyond me.I wanted to go home and spend some time with Carla, but because of this one person, I had to be in and out of meeting all day long.I rushed out of the building to see my chauffeur by my car. He opens the door as I walked near it and he bowed down to show respect. I nodded, acknowledging his bow. It wasn’t long before

AedenI tried pulling my hands out one last time but sighed in defeat when my attempt was hindered unsuccessful.The light that reached me through the blindfold, indicated that it was morning. My wrists were, well pretty much numb.I had called out for her but, I was just wasting my energy when I realized that the rooms were soundproofed.She got me good. Have to give her credits. I had never expected that she’d do something like this… it's just not her. Or maybe I just don’t know her so well. Actually, she was always afraid around me and was never open.I guess I am the one to be blamed for that. I regret it but right now, I need her to come up here and untie me. Staying in one fucking position the entire night is not a joke.A small sigh leaves my lips and I slump my wrists and shoulders. But the opening of the door has my ears perked up.A strong womanly fragrance hits my nostrils and I instantly
