"Why the hell on earth you came here?," Aiden yells as she yanks the door of Chloe's car and gets in the driving seat."I received a call and," Riley buckles the seatbelt "They told me you're kidnapped,""Kidnapped?," She repeats aloud as she hits the steering wheel "Do you think that I can be kidnapped?," She snaps."I didn't think about it at that moment," he utters in a low voice."You could have called me right?,""I did it, numerous times but there was no answer,""You did?," She frowns taking out the phone from the blazer coat’s pocket, she switches it on "There was no signal I guess, luckily it worked for once," she inserts the phone back in the pocket "I'll get someone to take your car," she starts the engine."Whose car is this?," He breaks the long remained silent."Chloe's," she blurts her eyes never leaving the windscreen."Had a great time together?," Riley asks.The red light illumes by a roundabout, she faces him "Not bad.""Not bad, does it mean it's good?,"She takes a
“Why does he look stunning all of a sudden? Why are my eyes taking a glance at him every second?” Aiden thinks, her eyes never leaving Riley who stands forward.Aiden sits among the three families who helped them to open a lawsuit, the families who were effected by the Aim’s chemical. she keeps her legs in place as it spreads beyond her control, she definitely would have purchased a men suit if her size was available but unfortunately it wasn’t... It’s really uncomfortable... Harry enters the room after the request of sudden witness is granted, he stands in the witness box and looks at Aiden, she passes an assuring smile... The questionnaire begins...Harry declares his identity of being an employee in the warehouse, he was working in the lab testing the medication, he offended when he found something wrong which put his life in danger. He explains that Johnson has nothing to do with the drug added because it’s one of the stock purchased by the company.Aiden moves forward in int
Aiden’s gaze swivels around the almost empty ward, the noise of sliding doors and footsteps only to be heard, her pounding heart echoes in her ears as she stares at the red bulb above the door, the room in which Blake is treated. She is seated on the five row of chairs in front of the door, Lisa beside her. Her left cheek on Aiden’s right shoulder, her left arm wrapped around Aiden’s waist and her right hand on Aiden’s lap buried in her palms.Aiden moves her hand away from Lisa’s, she lifts Lisa’s head slow, holding onto her she stands. Gently she lays Lisa on the connected row of chairs. She squats down and removes Lisa’s shoes, she lifts her legs on the chairs. Riley stands straight moving away from the wall, he watches Aiden with knitted brows. He holds her hand when she walks pass him.“What are you doing?,” He asks stepping closer.“I gotta go,” Aiden snaps, rage flaring in her veins.“Where to?,” Riley looks at her for a second “I’m going with you,” he sighs.He lets g
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
