Dinner...

Mathew kissed her softly and seeing her calm down he broke the kiss and asked ' Why were you crying?'

July said looking at him ' It all happened because of me, my foolishness for falling into his sweet words  everything has happened because of me'

Mathew looked at her and said ' It has all passed, I guess it had to be like this and I am happy the way I am, with you, I will be happy to forget all of it'

July said ' He knows about Maria, what if he harms her or you know does something?'

Mathew chuckled and said ' You think he has anything against us or Maria?'

July looked up at him in confusion and Mathew said ' He came here to infuriate us and by telling us about Maria and we will get worried and take a wrong step meeting with her or something like that he will take it as an advantage. I know Francis too well if he had Any evidence we would have been in the breaking news, he would never ever be foolish enough to give us a chance to save ourselves by warning us, he is a snake who bites from behind never from in front'

July looked up and then nodded even though she thought yes Francis will never give them a heads up, he must not have any evidence just guessing or got to know so try to find it through us…

She nodded and Mathew said ' Ya so don't worry be stress-free, be happy as maria too is' 

He comforted her and made her stand up and held her hand and took her inside….

Francis was taken to the hospital and was given the necessary treatment and he was said to rest and he returned back home….

Aaron on the other side leaving the home directly went to the Detective agency and seeing Aaron come the CEO himself came and Aarons said ' I want every bit of information on the case Antonio was working, nothing should be left understood?'

The Ceo nodded and he showed the place where Antonio sits and everything was taken up by Aaron's guards not leaving anything and he asked whether the computers are connected and the data be shared from one to another and the CEO denied it and Aaron nodded and asked him to give the details of Antonio…

After coming out of the agency the guards put the complete things in the back of their cars and then they left towards Antonio's home.

They reached and broke the door, people on the street were watching but seeing the guards and guns no one interfered and the guards did not allow anyone to make any video.

Aaron went in and saw the home was all clean as if no one was living, they searched the whole home and every electronic gadget was being taken away and a guards called Aaron and he went in saw a room and the walls had all pictures there were Maria's Mathews and Francis and all the said to completely wipe it off and the room was cleaned leaving no mark…

After seeing nothing was left Aaron came out and went to a deserted place and dumped all the things in one place he burned them and stood there not leaving it until he saw everything was burnt to just and even the ashes were collected and thrown into the river, wiping out everything….

……….

It was time to leave the office and Olivia said to Ryan and Mishka that they should come to have dinner with them tonight at the Palace.

Ryan without any hesitation said okay and he said will bring Mishka too.

Olivia was happy and then they walked out and got into the elevator Ryan and Mishka took different elevators.

They reached the underground parking and got into the ride and headed towards their home.

On the way, 

Olivia said to Maria ' Today Ryan and Mishka will be there win us at dinner, so you have to take care of the food and refreshments Maria'

Maria nodded and said ' Don't worry aunt, I won't let you down'

Olivia nodded and said 'I know'

They reached the Palace and got down and went to their rooms.

Arthur entered the room, went to the couch and sat down and Maria went to the bathroom to freshen herself up and change her clothes. She came out and saw Arthur still sitting there and she shook her head and thought of this man.

She went near him and forced him to get up and freshen up and Arthur forcefully went and came out and Maria asked ' what does Ryan like to eat?'

Arthur looked at her and said ' Why will I know that? Do I look like his girlfriend or wife?'

Maria laughed hearing it and Arthur looked at her and asked ' why are you laughing?'

Maria said ' I was imagining you as a girl hehe' she giggled and Arthur tapped on her forehead and she winced and said ' tell me na I have to decide what to say to the lady to prepare'

Arthur said ' Prepare whatever you like,  he ain't picky'

Maria sighed what a waste he is she thought and then took out her phone and called Mishka and got to know what he likes and the after disconnecting the call went down…

She went to the kitchen and said to the lady what she has to prepare for the dinner and said ' There will be guests so, be careful and don't worry I will help you'

The lady said ' No ma'am, you rest I will call other maids from the quarters, as there had been just sir I was alone now if guests are there I will call them'

Maria heard it said good and went out and she changed the flowers in the vases and was changing the setting a little bit and even Olivia joined her and kept the maids on their toes….

They sat there all tired and Olivia said ' Let's get ready they might be here any moment now '

Maria nodded and headed up and saw Arthur working on his laptop on the bed she went in and looked through the new dresses they bought yesterday and looked at a black off-shoulder dress which was till her ankle, she smiled and took it and headed towards the bathroom….

After 40  minutes she came out, and Arthur hearing her heels looked up and was stupefied seeing her, Maria looked at him gnawing at her and smiled with satisfaction.

She said to Arthur come on go get ready they might be here any moment.

Arthur gulped down and said ' It will be better if we don't go down, let's be in our room'

Maria rolled her eyes and said ' Pervert  go and change'

Arthur using a lot of willpower he moved his gaze and went in and Maria chuckled and went down…

Olivia was already sitting on the couch and seeing Maria come downstairs she was stunned she was looking so beautiful in that dress...

Olivia smiled and said as she came near her ' You are looking gorgeous my girl'

Maria shyly bowed her head and sat beside her and After 5 minutes Arthur came down and they sat and Arthur's eyes were always roaming on maria and he smiled and said to himself ' Today, I won't leave you That easily maria'

Ryan and Mishka finally arrived and they brought them some gifts and they hugged each other. Mishka also wore a long dress but a burgundy colour making her look cute.

They all talked and joked, Mishka was shocked seeing the Palace and said it was beautiful and Maria took her to see around….

Mishka said ' Wow, Maria it is so beautiful the view the fresh air damn great this is'

Maria nodded and they explored and after some time they felt hungry and came back and Maria asked the lady to serve the food and they went and sat at the table….

Arthur picked up the wine glass and thanked them for coming here, everyone had wine in their glass except Maria and she looked at Arthur with anger but seeing his look she nodded and drank it forcefully...

She thought what would happen if she drank it? She is already at home na?

Everyone was e enjoying the food and Ryan and Mishka were praising and suddenly there was a painful voice…

'Aunt'.... and everyone turned to see who it was……
