Aiden’s P.O.VTwo days passed since Harry’s funeral, Blake came back to consciousness last night. I look straight at Riley, he focuses on eating, his abnormal silence makes me uncomfortable, he really releases the gloomy aura. That night after the hug he uttered no word unless I ask him any questions. He just coldly answers in brief and ends the conversation, he has been slamming the doors shut and sometimes dropping things to the floor but when I ask him what’s the matter he says nothing... I get his message, he is mad at me... I tried to talk to him but didn’t have the time as I spent more time in the hospital to let Lisa rest.Riley does his dishes and walks out the kitchen like I never existed. Letting out a low sigh I stand to follow him.“Riley,” I call out... He doesn’t stop and walks to my room.“Riley, wait,” my voice comes out loud this time, he finally stops near the bed.“Why the hell on earth are you so mad?,” I look at him when he turns around to face me.“Don’t y

Third Person P.O.VThe moving vehicles are watched by the pair of charcoal orbs for a while, Aiden lets out a sigh and gets up from the bench when the bus to home arrives, she looks around one more time and keeps a step ahead, she stops when the familiar sound of horn hits her ear drums... A smile sweeps across her lips as she spins, she walks to the car her eyes never leaves Riley who watches her through the windscreen... She gets in and buckles up the seatbelt...“Are you mad at me?,” Riley asks.“Nope, Why?,” her thin brows meet, she moves forward from the seat and looks at him curiously.“Because I’m late,” he shrugs.“Why should I be mad just because you are late? It’s obvious that you’re late because you went to get the car,” she raises her brows questionably.Riley curls in his lower lip with his tongue and stares at her for a second, his mind trying to analyse his next statement “Never mind,” he exhales, scratching the back of his head he looks straight at the windscree

Aiden scurries in pulls the man who was about to beat Eric’s head with a baton in his hand, she turns him, her fists clutter on his face and puts a hole in his stomach. The man hits the ground and the other four men march towards her. Before they lay a finger on her, Riley lunges in and throws a punch at the man closer to her. Eric looks up taken back, his eyes wide surprised, the only question in his head: What are they doing?The five men fight against the two but couldn’t lay a finger on them. One of the men steps aside and tramples nearer to Eric, he pops a pocket knife. Eric pushes him when the knife cuts his hand meat, the man cocks the knife and hops forward. In a blink of an eye the man is pushed to the wall, Riley gets a good hold on him and shoves him against the wall. The five men flee out. Riley adjusts the collar of his shirt, he clears his throat and turns to meet Aiden to question about her actions.“Aiden sissy,” the little boy runs to her. He hugs her legs and looks

Two days, just two days is enough to spread the rumour of Attorney Riley Mintz, the one who forced and bribed the family to go against the Aim’s like his father which lead the family to suicide. However, the case is not yet confirmed that Riley is the one in wrong as a mere written letter cannot be taken as valid proof. The bodies were found by the border of the south city therefore the case is taken by the Central city officers. The media has painted him as a crooked lawyer like Mintz. “Shit!,” Aiden growls as she continues to peep the horn.The noise of horn plays in the background, the sweat and scorching sun vexes the living being as the motionless vehicles are stuck in a place for a while. She runs her hands through her hair and lowers her head, her squinted eyes staring at an empty space. She has been waiting in the car outside the station for two days, her mind in dilemma, she doesn’t know what to do to get Riley out. Heavy breaths leave her lips every second, shaking her

Riley’s P.O.VThe trial is cancelled I cannot takeover any case for six monthsAnd yeah, definitely I’m viral online… it’s annoying to be popular sometimes.Row of clothes hung in multiple poles, I follow Aden as she walks around checking on the dresses. Her parent’s anniversary is coming soon, she decided to take her mom to meet Mr. Johnson and wants her mom to be in new clothes and in her best state. I bring the beeping phone to my view, the continuous notification pops up, as expected. Clicking on each bar I check the new posts, reading every sentence till it effects me but it didn’t. Neither of those words from the outside world effected, as the one I love knows the truth, as she told we cannot stop others from sharing their opinion, come on that is why humans are malicious.I stop in my tracks when Aiden walks to the other side of the large room, my eyes fall on a particular peach prom dress, well fitted on the dummy. The box pleated skirt lands a few inches above the knee

Third person P.O.VThe short needle of the clock ticks to three, the sun shines through open balcony door at the living room. Aiden seated on the couch with her hands clasped in front further from her spread knees, Riley beside her seated with his legs crossed, their eyes fixed on Blake who is seated on the single sofa working with the laptop, Lisa sitting on the inside arm of the couch.“Here it is,” Blake moves the laptop screen to the opposite direction, the photo of Aiden and an image of Riley’s edited photo on the list of guest who are invited for the shareholder party.Aiden visited Chloe few days back for a reason, one to challenge him and two, to leave the button recorder. She attached it underneath Chloe’s large table. Every word spoken in that room are heard by the two partners. The shareholder meeting was over successfully, the plan of expanding the business, construction of his dream building and launching the new production which will have a high profit is supported

The air around the room stiffens, the two guards who are called to Chloe’s room exchange glances, they wait in silence till Chloe gives them permission to explain what happened. Seated on the sofa at the center of the office room, Chloe stares at the laptop screen , his clenched jaw tightens as he narrows his eyes in rage, his eyebrows dragged down, he forms his hands to fist, veins pop out his skin. He taps onto the enter button again for the sixth time, the video footage of the hall replays ; the clip of Riley and Aiden. The blue orbs fixed on the two figures in the screen, his eyes are blazing flames; dangerous.“Sir,” Kevin calls out, he swallows down the lump in his throat and strolls to the sofa, his feet stop when he observes Chloe.“What?,” Chloe asks, his tone low and stern.Kevin lowers his gaze and informs “The reporters are waiting outside, Sir,” he looks at Chloe, whose focus is on the laptop screen “All the news is about you and,” he stays silent for a second.“And what?

“What?,” Riley exclaims, his voice loud to grab the attention of the two nurse in the elevator.He looks at Aiden and closes his open mouth, he waits silent making no move until the elevator door part, the two nurse walls out and the doors close again going up to the seventh floor.“Blake called and told that Chloe has prepared an abrupt press meeting tonight,” she says.He rubs the back of his neck and stands straight… he was in glee expecting victory on his way but it hadn’t end yet….“What’s up with his action?,” he frowns.“Isn’t it obvious!,” Aiden pulls out her phone from her grey coat and scrolls through the feed “Neither of the photos we uploaded in the video aren’t true except Catherine’s clip,”“So, what can he do because they were fake,” he looks at her with raised brows, curious.“Maybe he can prove those fake,” she shrugs.“Then what about Catherine, he can’t tell she is not his sister,”“They are not biological,” she reminds him “And Catherine doesn’t like to be involved
