Accusations

The past few days were a traumatic one for Aria, when she heard the name of the maid that had died. It was the young girl who was assigned to clean her room, who cared for her when she was unable to do anything by herself because of her broken arm. Even after those times she was still so helpful, that it also got her wondering what the girl was thinking and why she was nice to her. She couldn't understand why the girl had to die. It was really quiet in the mansion and there was no one to ask about what happened after, or if there was any chance that the girl who was moved away in an ambulance could still be breathing. Alex, who could have had an idea about the entire situation, went on a business trip with Dalton that same day. In the midst of the painful news that was enough to cause an emotional breakdown, Aria had to go to the hospital to stand by Anna who was going to receive a surgery. She had to drive the long way to the orphanage home to pick up the nun first, who also

Outsmarting and outstanding

Hours earlier........... "Why did you really want to meet, Aria? It is not like I am trying to sound so annoying or anything, but you really are not the type to honour invites like this immediately. Are you sure everything is okay?" Collin, who was looking at the lady that was sitting in front of him asked, trying to figure out if anything was going wrong with her. He had expected her to refuse his request and had prepared for the disappointment, but she rather surprised him by agreeing to come meet him wherever he chose. She was barely eating any slice from the pizza that they ordered, and even the drink he noticed that she really liked was left untouched. As much as she tried to look okay after she accepted his idea to eat lunch together, he still could sense that something was wrong with everything about her. "A very nice friend of mine died. It is so upsetting," Aria told him just one of the many things that was disturbing her, as she picked a golden fork from the one of

Investigations

"How could you not tell me that that lost son of a f***er was trying to harass you? Did I train you to be that weak?!" Eleanor demanded from her daughter who was just slouched tiredly to her couch, days after the incident with Damon's arrest happened in the house. Ellen was not in the mood to even reply to what her mother was saying, with her heart still pacing restlessly with all that had happened with Damon. It was a fact that Aria had heard her discussion together with Damon, and probably found out about the rest of what had transpired between both of them. It was difficult to be in good spirits. "Am I not talking to someone here?!" "Mother, can we just stop talking about the same question you have asked me about a thousand times? I have better things to do than sit here for more than twenty minutes, listening to you take issues so seriously more than you should. And you should not use cuss words any longer. Leave it for the younger generation," Ellen scolded her mother with wor

Light at the tunnel's end

Aria sat on her bed all afternoon searching frantically for the social media page of the masked dancer, who was rumoured to have started dancing again after opening a new page. No one knew who the lady was or if she was the one from before, because there was a change in outfit and dancing styles too. It had become a topic issue among netizens and YouTubers, who were looking for all means to connect the present person to the past one. They had tried to pick out coincidences that could make the new dancer the same as the old, but they could not find anything out which eventually died up the comments and speculations. She had to be fast concerning every finding she wanted to know, because it seemed like Dalton was on her radar already trying to look into what she was up to. He was suspecting every of her moves and doings, by asking her random questions that she could never tell the truth to. 'Could he actually be the one plotting all of that and just trying to make her life a living

An emotional check

The next morning at the mansion was quite loud and rowdy, with every single one of the servants working at the Millers mansion standing outside. They were all taken unaware by the latest development, as to catch anyone in his/her most vulnerable state early from the bed IT professionals had swarmed every nook and cranny of the building, and were thoroughly checking everywhere to see if there were any tech alterations anywhere in the buildings. From their phone devices and every technology gadget that they owned, were submitted for thorough checks in connection to whatever links, it could have to anything that would get them kicked out or jailed. Their rooms were thoroughly searched and inspected, as they also checked for wiretapping devices. The issue with the masked dancer had escalated overnight, after she mentioned the Millers family again at the ending minutes of her video. What broke the camel's back was the fact that she exposed a paper, where there were signatures of o

Responding to his touch

Aria went back to the house late in the evening and sighted both Ellen and Hailey, taking a tour around the house like it wasn't a place they were already used to. Ellen just looked away without any words to say unlike the way she normally acted, while Hailey gave her the same disgusted look even in her elegance. The billionaire's wife could sense that the obnoxious daughter of the family had become very calm ever since, and just grinned inwardly to what was happening without her best friend's knowledge. It made her elated to know that she had succeeded in putting her in her place. Dalton was surprisingly home already which was earlier than usual that day, and that was exactly why Hailey was at the mansion too. She had sent emails and text messages to him when she was out of the country, which he rarely replied to or even viewed. It really made her so anxious that she could not wait till the five weeks she had planned elapsed, as she flew back to the country as fast as she coul

His true feelings

Their lips met, and the moment Dalton's tongue pressed Aria's lower lip, she parted her mouth like a freshly split–open fig, welcoming him into the warmth of her mouth. His tongue slipped inside her insistent mouth, and lips which were moist with strawberry gloss tasted like cherry. Dalton's arms wrapped around her body, passionately holding her tight, and his fiery tongue sled inside and outside of her soft, luscious mouth. His mouth was parting her shaking lips, sending wild tremors along her nerves, and evoking from her sensations she had never known she was capable of feeling. And before a swimming giddiness spun her round and round, she knew that she was kissing him back. Her hands grabbed his arm to pull his hand away from holding her face which felt like warm embers, as it raised some sort of wild fire from within him which was hard to resist. She tried hard to break away from the kiss she had never prepared for, but her mind was clouded by the desires that had been too doci

Material desires

Aria sat still in front of her dresser mirror for many minutes, running a bright red lipstick over her lip over and over again with stopping. Her eyes had wandered away from the mirror and what she was doing, with only her subconsciousness only performing her before action. She was somewhat lost in the thoughts of what Dalton had said the day before, even if it was not meant to bother her in any way. Though she didn't read the meaning of it or take his words seriously, her mind kept on flashing back to the brief action and words memory that had taken place in Dalton's room. The fact she had kissed him back even when the thought of that used to disgust her before, was a thought on her own to ponder upon. She enjoyed it in a way, even if she hated to admit it. But his words at the ending sounded so sincere, even when she was trying to tell herself that Dalton was not to be trusted. He had done too many things to hurt her, both voluntarily and involuntarily in many ways. Even t

Escaping death

The big four-tier chandelier that hung above her own seat space began to shudder, and a cacophony of clinks erupted in the air, wriggling like the sparkle. The drop was extremely loud and happened in about a minute, as loud screams broke into the room with panic of everyone. "Aria!!!!" Was probably the loudest they heard and the voice was really distinct, but no one cared, except for just their own safety alone. Immediately two figures swerved so quickly closely to the other side from where the lighting fixture had dropped, the tiny glassy bulbs that attached to it scattered everywhere in the room. Alex thought his eyes would bulge, with what he had to experience in the moment. 'What the heck just happened?' It was evening already and time for dinner already, that Aria usually missed most of the time since now had her own free will. She either got her food from the kitchen as soon as the food was served, or prepared her own food herself to taste. Weirdly that evening, s

Overprotective

Dalton carried Aria hastily out of the dining and straight to her bedroom, while Alex tried to dial the doctor's phone number. He was at the same time calculating the few minutes that it would take Mark Miller to reach the house, because of the mess that was made in the dining room. The servants were trying their best as Alex urged them to hurry so fast, without telling them why they had to do that in a flash. They had a limited amount of time to change the chandelier, dining table and the number of porcelains that broke alongside the disaster. Everyone was confused about what was happening that no one was telling them, but Alex was not even in the space to give anyone answers. He was directing the servants quickly into what to do, and was at the same time ordering a new luxurious table that matched that dining room. In a jiffy, it had become a combined cleaning of the entire house. Hailey tearfully followed Eleanor into her room this time, while Ellen followed Emma without any
