Chapter Twenty Six
*****Atlas POV****
The room became awfully silent as I stood still staring at Aria, wondering how to put my thoughts into words.
"Can you say something?" Aria mumbled, looking at the tiles. "I feel stupid for telling you those words, and if you don't talk, I'm going to feel even more pathetic."
Keeping my gaze fixed on her, I walked up to Aria, took her hands in mine, and then when she looked me in the eyes, I smiled and said, "It's not pathetic to express yourself or be vulnerable."
Those words brought a smile to her lips, and just looking at her made me forget how mad I was when she mess with my feelings today.
After she walked out, leaving me frustrated in myself, I was infuriated, and it took every ounce of my willpower for me not to lose it.
But right now, seeing the way her eyes lit up, I'm glad I didn't and tried to understand her."I like you, Aria. I really do. But I'm not going to force you to do anything that you are no

The next morning, Aria and I were seated in the conference room, awaiting my uncles because I had called them for an emergency meeting. Although I wasn't excited about returning to work so soon, right after uncle Kerri died and just a day after uncle Lex's funeral, I knew the company needed me more than ever before. My entire mind was crowded with thoughts as I stressed about how to handle things at the company. Then I suddenly snapped out of my head when I felt Aria gently squeeze my hand. Looking down at her fingers entangled with mine, I smiled as I forgot a bit about my worries. "I'm glad you are here with me," I mumbled, raising my gaze to meet her eyes. "Of course. I'm your bodyguard. It's my duty." Aria said, and I slightly frowned. Then I softly sigh and mumble, "I meant, you being here for me as my girlfriend." For a moment, Aria pressed her lips in a firm line, striving her hardest not to smile. But that didn't

Smiling softly, I gently took the fork out of Atlas' hand, and he allowed me to, then I ate the steak. "Come on!" Atlas said, and I could tell that he was angry. "What…" I mumbled. "Can't a grown woman feed herself?" "We both know that's not the problem." "Then what is it?" "You shoved me, bit my tongue, yanked your hand out of mine, and now this! What's going on?" "Nothing," Silence fell between us, and I watched his eyes as he gazed into mine. Then he suddenly said with a calm tone, "Allow me to kiss you. Right here and right now." "Atlas…" I said, frowning at him. "It doesn't have to be on the lips. It could be a cheek or forehead kiss." "No," There was a long pause as Atlas continued staring, and I could tell from his expression that he was angry. "That's what I thought," Atlas said, standing to his feet. "Where are you going?" I mumbled as I laid my fork on the table

******Atlas POV***** Two weeks have gone by, and the day is finally here. The moment I raised my eyelids to the light of dawn, the troubling feelings I had strived to ignore for the past weeks came rushing back to me. Yet like always, I ignored it, left my bed, and hit the shower. When I returned to the room a few minutes later, I froze in my tracks as I stared at Aria seated on my bed. With her gaze fixed on mine, her lips curved upward, and she softly mumbled, "Morning." Striving my best to act normal, I walked over to her, resting my palms on her thighs, and leaned in, kissing her slowly. When our lips parted, Aria's expression turned serious as she asked, "Are we going to the office?" The fact that I already told her that I was giving her a day off and she still used the word "We," meant she wanted to know where I was going. But I couldn't tell her which is why I have been so stressed lately, kno

The only emotions I was feeling were rage and hate, so it didn't click to me at first until Mitch burst into a bitter laugh before I finally realized who I was dealing with.That freak was mocking me with his laughter like I didn't have a gun to his head, and I knew why."You better get your hands off me before I put mine on you and things get ugly!" Mitch firmly said.For a moment, I could hear this voice in my head telling me to pull the trigger. But then again, Mitch dying by my hands wouldn't be good for my mission and it will definitely be Atlas and I's death sentence."I'm not that naive girl who used to shiver at your command…" I said, and Mitch chuckled immediately, making me more pissed.But I boldly continued, "I don't have time to waste doing whatever this is. So, I'm going to release you, and after I do, I need you to get your ass out of my car!"Slowly, I withdrew my gun from Mitch's hair before pulling my other hand away

When my eyelid rose, the first thing that tortured my mind was that I had two more days left before Atlas's so-called meeting with Black Ivy. Swaying my gaze towards his face, I frowned, annoyed that he could sleep so soundly while I have been having sleepless nights because of him. Suddenly, Atlas rose his lashes, and I gazed silently into his eyes. Then he drew towards my lips and lightly kissed me before mumbling, "Good morning, beautiful." Even though I was annoyed and frustrated that I haven't had this entire Black Ivy situation figured out yet, I couldn't help smiling when he grinned at me. "Morning," I whispered, stroking his cheek. Then I

After watching Atlas for a while, I tossed my fork on the plate, and he raised his head, gazing at me without uttering a word."How long am I going to get the silent treatment for this time?!" I lashed out. "A day? A week? Or maybe a month?"It was humiliating to act mad at him when he looked so calm staring back at me, and I felt awful that I was about to start an unnecessary fight that I was planning to avoid just to get out of here.When Atlas didn't answer, I felt a bit hurt that he was mad at me, and yet, I remained in character."Fine. You want to treat me like I don't exist?! It's all good!" I said, waking from the chair. "I will get out of your hair!""What's wrong with you?" Atlas coldly uttered, hardening his face.His question was justifiable because even I was thinking that I was acting like someone losing their damn mind.Yet, I looked Atlas dead in his eyes and said, "The real question here is, 'What is wrong with you?"
