Semua Bab The Stranger I Met On The Altar: Bab 41 - Bab 50

AARON’S POVI had just pulled up at the hotel the private investigator had sent to me and gotten out of the car when I got another text from him saying my father had just left. It was followed by a video of him getting into the car and leaving which confirmed that he had indeed been at the hotel.I called the private investigator immediately.“He just left like that?” I asked.“Yes. Immediately he went in, he didn't spend up to five minutes and he just came out and left”“And the woman?”“She didn't show,” he said.“Alright then, keep me updated,” I said before hanging up.“What's up?” Ryan was resting on the car bonnet.“He just left”“Really?” he raised an eyebrow. “That's weird. You think he got intel that you might be coming here?”I thought of it for a moment then shook my head. “I doubt, if he had gotten intel, he wouldn't have come here in the first place. Besides, the guy I hired is not that sloppy”“Oh well,” he said with a shrug. “There will always be some other time”“Yeah

CHAPTER 44When the car came to a halt, I quickly jumped down and started walking into the house, even before Aaron could turn off the engine.“Hey Lil Mama, wait up” came Ryan’s voice from behind me.I turned to him. He walked towards me while Aaron was just getting out of the car. I could feel him staring at us but i didn't meet his eyes, i focused on Ryan instead.“What are your plans for tonight?” Ryan asked gently holding my shoulders as he started leading me into the house.“Other than go to sleep in anger? Nothing else” I replied, rolling my eyes.I could hear Aaron’s footsteps behind us.He gave his signature chuckle. “I thought so. Listen, I'm sorry about everything that happened tonight and I'm sorry I couldn't stop it, it just wasn't in my place. And I also want to tell you not to take whatever Aaron tells you to heart. He's a stubborn cold dude, but he's not a bad person and I'm sure whatever he said, he didn't mean it”“You don't have to make excuses on his behalf. Aaron

“You seem so good at this” Shit, i didn't know when those words escaped my mouth. Starting a conversation with Aaron never ended well, i either got ignored or shut down.And when seconds passed and i didn't get a response, i knew i had messed up, again.“I wanted to be a medical student” came his response when I had almost given up.I was pleasantly surprised that he had replied me.“Really? Why didn't you pursue?” I asked.Without looking at me he said “Someone has to take over VD industries”I nodded. “Weight of responsibility,” i muttered. I was an only child and therefore a heiress but i didn't see myself taking over Knight Corp, I didn't know anything about the company.I think this was one of the major reasons my dad had agreed to this arranged marriage, with the merger and marriage rights, Aaron could run the company for me since he had more experience.But the divorce… Aaron and I were eventually going to get a divorce… right?I hadn't thought about that in a while. When we h

Chapter 48.“That son of a bitch!” Taylor cursed running a furious hand through her hair as she stared at the picture of Sebastian and his wife on my phone. Her face was a mess, filled with tears and mucus from her nose due to the excess crying and smeared mascara because she had started crying with her makeup on from the previous day.“I can't believe I fell for this shit of a man!”I rubbed her shoulders gently. “Take it easy on yourself Tay”Apparently, after my encounter with Sebastian last night, he called Taylor and abruptly ended things with her—no explanation, nothing. Then he blocked her everywhere because he didn't want his cover blown first.Taylor started crying again. “I fell so deeply for him. I should have known it was too good to be true. Relationships never work for me”I pulled her into my arms. “He’s not worth your tears baby girl. And when the right man comes, your relationship will work just fine”“I don't know what's wrong with me. No man ever genuinely loves me

Chapter 50ELIZABETH’S POVWhen Taylor and I arrived home, I noticed the Bentley that wasn't there earlier when I left was back in the house, which simply meant Aaron was back home. I don't know why my heart skipped a beat.We entered the house and as expected, Aaron and Ryan were on the couch, drinking. Aaron was still in his work shirt but his hands were rolled up to his elbow and the button loosened down to his chest I could see his chest clearly, there was a tattoo peeking that I couldn't clearly see, I swallowed hungrily. God! How much I wanted to devour this man, God help me, please. Help me control myself.Only Aaron could make disheveled hair look sexy.Our eyes locked, and he took me in the way I took him in.I forgot about Ryan until he cleared his throat and I turned to him, with a greeting smile.“Hey Ryan,” I greeted.“Hey Lil Mama,” he said, his signature smirk on his face. His eyes flickered briefly to Taylor who just stood behind me, before returning to me.“Taylor, y
