“What do you mean I can’t visit? I did so much of a hassle just to be here and you won’t even let me in?”“Sylphia, this is not the right time, please leave”Mad at what she heard, Sylphia pushed Elton away. It took her great efforts just to be here and have a girl’s night with Lea and this is what she would receive?“Elton, I did not waste that much time just for you to block me. Even if Lea is that man’s wife, no one can stop me from seeing her!”“Sylphia, please stop it right now!”Hard headed as she is, she did not listen and soon the guards following her arrived. Elton then points her and asks them to do something. They are in Aiden’s office. She visited in his house yet Lea wasn’t there. Her thinking led her to the conclusion that if she is not there then the only place she can be at is Aiden’s office.Having the chance to barge in his office, she was surprise to see no Lea in there.“Lea??” she called with a smile on her face. But just like what her eyes can see, no Lea was th
“Elton, I brought some snacks”“Aiya, you don’t have to bother… but thanks. I will surely enjoy this”Giving Elton the basket filled with food, Aiya then took a peek on the office.“How is he?”She mumbles soft enough for him to hear. Its been months since that incident happened. And none of them know where Lea was.“Luckily he is doing better. Although none of us speak about Lea, I know he is still thinking about her”Smiling bitterly, Elton’s cheeks was cupped by Aiya.“Everything will soon be fine…”He hold her hands and smiled.“Yes… I know it will”“And can I also share some of this with Aiden?”“Sure, why not? I prepared a bit more just in case”“You really know me well. I am so lucky to have you, Aiya…”Kissing her forehead, Aiya blushes and giggles a little.“In the forehead, really? Are you my grandma?”Even Elton let out a smile.“I am saving this-“ he caress her lips as he looks at it as if it was a sweet red apple he was ready to devour any time soon “-for that special occ
“Brylle Leonard? Isn’t he the cousin of Sir Aiden?”Looking at the papers of the one that wants to purchase in their company, a familiar name ring a bell in their head.“Hey, what is the commotion in here?”“Sir Elton… it’s just… we are checking the list of those who will purchase in us for the Gala… and we saw Sir Brylle’s name… shall we still accept his order?”Looking at the list as he pick it up from those two, he indeed saw Brylle’s name listed on it.‘Brylle? He is back?’Even Elton have no good memory with that guy. He always find suspicions in his every move. For he will always try to hurt Aiden in any single way he can.‘But Aiden is not someone to do such a child’s trick. Even if we decline him, he will surely find other shops for him to purchase…’“No, just let him be. But make sure to double the price in any of his orders. If he asks about it, then ask him to buy it in other shops if he can’t afford it”“Yes Sir Elton”Bowing their head, they dare not say any words about w
“That would surely look good on her”Aiden mumble to himself as he saw the final product of the sketches he made. Designed to fit for Lea, he did so even if he know that there is no one to wear that since she is gone. Even after all the things that happened, he can’t help but blame himself for not having the ability to protect her. He was there with her and yet he just did nothing so save her. He was useless. Just like his dear father he loathes so much.“Son, are you alright?”Standing from the door, he did not dare enter his son’s room. “If I told you I wasn’t, will it change anything? I bet not”Buttoning up his coat, he picks up the flower bouquets on his bed. Looking at the dress that was in front of him, he took a last glance from it.“Lilith, right?”He said as soon as he saw the maid not far from where they are.“Tell them to bring this on the shop. Sold it if one ever wants it”“Sir, but isn’t…”Bowing her head, she knew that’s he have no words to say about that matter. If i
“Mr. Aiden Lazarus!”Walking on the red Carpet, number of people are watching him as he walks. Wearing yet another brand-new creation, all eyes are looking at him.‘He is not with his wife, so is the news really true?’‘So Mrs. Lazarus is dead… really?’‘Hey, keep it shut. Many people are here’But none can tell if it was his clothes they are looking at or the very person whose wife is dead‘Poor him… is there a curse in being Mrs. Lazarus?’Thankfully he is from afar, he did not hear such words coming from the mouth of those who know nothing but gossip. ‘Media’ making up stories to catch people’s attention just so they would read the article that they created. Not knowing the effect it would bring to the very person that they are talking about.But not be worried, for Aiden care no less about those matters. Since he was a child, he was used to dealt with such words.“Stunning as ever, he surely is the son of Mr. Menandro Lazarus”“Yes partner, as if he sweep all gazes to land on his
Eyes locked in her orbs, Aiden can’t help but think how greatly similar she and Lea was. As if he was looking at Lea having just a different style. Even that dress that he made specially for her, that is the exact same vision he had on his mind while making those designs.“Excuse me? Did we met before?”“I also thought the same thing, she does look like Lea”Confused by what they are talking about, she can’t help but be worried. For her, it was her first time meeting them and yet there they are, speaking things that she can’t understand.“Sorry? But I don’t know what you meant to say by that. if you’ll excuse me”Wanting to go back to where Brylle was, she was surprised when Aiden hold her wrist.“Ah-““Aiden” “Bro”Stopping her, even the two was surprised by what he did.“Tell me.. what is your name again?”“A- allea…”Stuttering, she tried to remove his grip from her but he won’t let go of it.“Hey, let me go…”“No, it isn’t your name… right?”“What are you talking about?”Not want
“Hi, I am Sylphia Klein. It is nice meeting you. You are…?“Hearing her voice that made Lea stop a bit. But then a gentle smile escapes her lips as she saw the girl wearing a black and silver pants style gown.“Allea Ruie, it is nice meeting you too. Sylphia”“What a beautiful name… I think I heard it somewhere before… but it seems like… it wasn’t really. I mean.. I know someone with a name almost similar to what was yours… you also have the same facial features… I wonder if the two of you are related…”Head tilting back and forth in a slow manner, Sylphia did not took Lea’s hands in an instant. As if she was still calculating her.“Pardon?”“Oh, nothing… it just makes me be reminded of someone I know”“Hmm, your friend may be?”Giving her a handshake, a small smile escapes Sylphia’s lips.“Yea? Sort of… she was my soon to be friend”“Soon… to be friend?”A small giggle escapes Lea’s lips.‘That was cute.. oh no, I laughed at her. She wouldn’t find it disrespectful, right?’“Oh sorry.
“What did you say?”Aiden asked as soon as he heard his name. even that familiar voice made his heart stop a beat. As if it was the voice he was trying to figure out in hie every sleep. After Lea went missing and was stated dead, he have no recollection of how her voice sounds like. He have no photos of her other than those in the news. The memory he had with him was just those things she left…Even though his car’s uploaded video includes Lea there, Elton and Menandro won’t let him have access of it. Saying that it was for his own good.“Call me again… say my name…”“Aiden…”A tear started to form in the corner of his eyes..“Say it again… please… say it”The pain he had in his heart, as if something was placed on it opening the chest where he hide those feelings.“Ai… den?”“Lea… it is you… lea…. You are alive…”The liquid forming on his eyes did not held itself any longer. Starting to fall, that made Lea be surprised.‘Just… why are you hurting like this?’Seeing his face made her
