Chapter-32: Sudden Anxiety Zaiden Storm I was completely engrossed in my work when I heard someone knocking on the door. “Come in,” I permitted and Aria entered with her cheeks puffed. “What is it?” I stopped typing on my laptop and paid her my undivided attention. “Why haven't you had your lunch yet?” she demanded. “Lunch?” I let out in confusion and checked the time to realize that it was past lunchtime. “Oh, it completely slipped my mind.” “You even said that we were going to have lunch together, but look at you being a workaholic like always,” she fumed, crossing her

Chapter-34: The Storm Family Aria Anastasia The mansion was decorated beautifully, and the homely feeling I got as I stepped in helped me calm my nerves down. As we reached the living room, I saw a black-haired woman in her mid-forties sternly giving instructions to a servant. But as soon as her face landed on Zaiden and me, her lips curved up in a big smile. “You guys are here. Welcome, you two,” the woman exclaimed and rushed to give a hug to Zaiden. “Even though I saw you a month ago, it feels like forever, my son.” “I'm sorry I couldn't call you that often, Mom. How have you been?” Zaiden replied. Th

Chapter-36: Daydream Wedding  Aria Anastasia It has been many days since I went to Zaiden's family gathering. In fact, another of his family get-together was around the corner. Even though it's been that long, it still felt surreal to be with Zaiden. It was almost as if I was trapped in a bubble of dreams and it would burst with the lightest touch. Ever since we started dating, we would rarely argue. As we started to get to know each other even better, we would understand each other's point of view more easily. It helped us wrap up our work sooner and do whatever we want for the rest of the day. However, we would try to remain professional during our work

Chapter-38: Perfect Date Aria Anastasia I smiled looking at myself in the mirror. I was wearing a light pink off-shoulder dress that reached up to my knees. I touched up my light make-up and was ready to go. Today I was going to spend the whole day with Zaiden outside. We were supposed to do that last week, but I had to turn him down because I had to spend time with Freja, that's why he has been sulking the whole week. She went back to New York three days ago. I went to open the door and grinned seeing my handsome boyfriend at the doorstep with flowers in his hands. He seemed embarrassed about it. I arched an eyebrow teasingly and said, “What's this about, Mr. Storm?”&nbs

Chapter-40: Proposal Aria Anastasia I drove to Zaiden's mansion as soon as I could after I received his phone call, without even bothering to change out of my home clothes which were tank tops and shorts. My heart was beating so fast. The only thing that was roaming in my head was Zaiden's safety. Did he get shot by any of his enemies? Was he hurt? He only told me to help him and come to his mansion immediately. I parked my car in front of the gate and ran inside his mansion. I made my way to his bedroom without replying to the maids' greetings. “Zaiden?” I called out after opening the door to his room. He was nowhere in sight.
