All Chapters of Never Meant To Be : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Aria's POV I took in one last deep breath before knocking the door. "Come in." I heard Axel's deep voice say from the other side and I slowly opened the door and walked inside the office. He was busy typing on his laptop and I cleared my throat to capture his attention. He looked up and run his eyes over me from head to bottom, before going back to typing on his laptop. "Good morning sir?" I greeted but he did not answer, he just carried on with what he was doing. Okay. "I finished drawing the designs sir." I went over his desk and placed the new notebook I had drawn the designs on top of his desk. He took it and started turning the pages as he looked at them. I could not tell whether he liked them or not because his facial expression remained blank. He's really changed. He placed it down and took the telephone on his desk and started dialling some numbers. "Come to my office right now." He said before placing the telephone back onto the receiver. "Ummm...sir, do you like

Axel's POV I was driving my car at a very high speed, ignoring the honking that I got from other cars. I saw my phone's screen light up again and I knew it was Aiden who was calling me. I reached for it and declined the call before tossing it back on the passenger seat. I was so frustrated right now. I pulled over in front of my gate and beeped the horn several times. Where the hell is the guard? I was getting very impatient by the minute as I continued beeping the horn. The gates opened and I immediately drove into the compound. I got out of my car, slamming the car's door in process as I barged into my house. "Good eve....." George started but I just ignored his greetings and walked right past him as I threw him my briefcase. I went to the mini bar and took a bottle of alcohol and started gulping it all down, not bothering to use a glass. "Hey Axel! Axel where are you!" I heard Aiden's voice from the leaving room and I rubbed my forehead with my hand. The last thing I wante

Aria's POV I quickly ran out of the office and run down the hallway. Tears filled my eyes blurring my vision, I felt like everything around me was spinning, everything and everyone around seemed to be quiet. I got to the end of the hallway and saw a small door. I did not even know where I was going, all I wanted was to be alone. I pushed the door open saw a staircase going down. I went the stairs and sat on one of them. I was running out of air and I tried opening my mouth to gasp for more oxygen. I could not breath, sweat trickled down my forehead and behind my neck, before falling on my back and disappearing inside my shirt. I felt like someone's hands were around my neck strangling me and I put my hands around my neck, I was feeling suffocated. I gripped on the floor beside me as I tried so hard to get in more air but nothing worked. I didn't even realize that someone was behind me till I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I tried to turn around to see who it was but my bod

Aria's POV I ran inside the building ignoring the weird stares people were giving me and quickly rushed towards the elevator. I pressed the open button and got inside. I stood at the corner panting tried to catch a hold of my breath, I looked down letting my hair cover my face. The other staff that was with me in the elevator looked at me weirdly, but what did I expect showing up at work five in the evening while wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a sweatshirt and white sneakers. The elevator door dinged open and everyone else got out leaving me alone inside, just a few more floors and I will at the top floor. My phone vibrated in my back pocket and I took and saw Cassie's name on the screen. I sighed before answering it. "Hello Aria! Are you crazy? Aria you are sick you have not taken your medicine? Ari please come home, I will talk to Axel and explain everything to him just please come back." She pleaded. "I am sorry Cassie but I am already here." "But Ari, what about the

Aria's POV Your mother is dead Aria, and your father is very sick. There was pin drop silence as I tried to register the words that Aiden had just said. I felt my fingers getting weak and they weren't able to support the cup I was holding and a shattering sound was heard throughout the room. I felt Aiden's arm on my shoulder and I looked at him, his mouth was moving but I could not hear the words that were coming out of it. Your mother is dead Aria, and your father is very sick. Those words kept on ringing in my head. Mom is dead. How can she be dead? She was fine when I left, how can she be gone? What about dad? Yes we were not in good terms with her but I still love him, he is still my father. Why was all this happening to me? What had I done to deserve all of this? First I lost my baby, then now my mother, and my father is fighting for his life right now. All this questions and thoughts kept on going in my head. I didn't know what to do, I didn't know what to say or how
