It was night,
Maria was busy packing and Arthur was busy with work as if he is going for such a long time he needs to schedule everything and go….
Olivia came and saw Maria packing. She helped her and finally, they were ready.
They both got ready and went down, their luggage was already sent down.
Maria hugged Olivia and said 'I will miss you'
Olivia smiled and said ' Me too, go and enjoy'
Arthur too said bye and they both sat in the car and headed toward the private airport.
Maria looked at Arthur and smiled, Arthur asked
' Excited?'
Maria nodded and said ' yess, I have never travelled before, I am excited and nervous both'
Arthur said ' Why nervous you have me '
Maria nodded and placed her head on his shoulder…
After 20 mins they reached and saw the jet waiting for them. They got on and were welcomed by the crew and they congratulated the couple as everyone knew about the wedding.
Maria and Arthur sat down and as it was taking off Maria held Arthur's hand tightly, Arthur held her firmly and as the jet was stable Maria finally felt relieved….
They were served with food and wine and Maria remembered her craziness last time so that she didn't have it and Arthur looked through her thoughts and said ' Ya don't have it… What if you start it here'
Hearing it Maria blushed and she hid her face falling on him embarrassed…
Arthur chuckled seeing her like that…
After a long fight, they finally landed…
They were taken to their villa…
Maria was shocked to see the beauty of nature. She went in and from every window or balcony, you could see the breathtaking sight of sand and water…
Maria immediately went out and took a deep breath in the fresh air and laughed….
Arthur stood there looking at the little girl carefree, he liked that about her…
Maria looked at Arthur who was standing there looking at her, she waved at him and shouted ' Come here, why are you standing there its so fun'
Arthur slowly went towards her and she held his hand and they walked around the beach and then slowly approached the water…
Maria felt the cold water and she had a bad idea in her mind as they were walking hand in hand in the wet sand, Maria suddenly broke free and splashed some water over Arthur…
Arthur was shocked due to the sudden attack he looked at her laughing seeing his absurd face…
Arthur said ' you little devil how dare you do that'
Maria, without saying anything once again bent down and splashed water at him…
And said ' Like this, you shouldn't ask such questions you are the Marcello'
Arthur looked at her and then even bent down and splashed water at her…
Then Arthur ran behind her and held her, he held her face and kissed her passionately, Maria held his waist and kissed him back…
It was 11 pm in night,
Arthur was laying on the sand with Maria in his arms and both had huge smiles on their faces…
Maria suddenly said ' Thank you for coming into my life'
Arthur looked at her both looking into each other's eyes and they said 'I Love you'....
……………………..
Days passed….
Arthur and Maria were having a blast with each other, finally spending time without any worry.
But Aaron was under a lot of pressure and he was so worked up that he didn't even use to go home for 2 or 3 nights just working….
It was 2 am in the night and Aaron was working
And the door opened And his secretary Who also had a pale Face due to tiredness said ' Sir, Mr. Michael is on call'
Aaron nodded and he opened his laptop and joined the call, he said ' Hi Michael
After a series of word exchange Aaron said ' As an old investor of our organization I want your support'
Michael said ' The corporation was led by Longs pretty well, even after Mathews sudden departure Francis took it well but now seeing the companies projects most are on hold and many are lacking funds, I don't see the chairman we need is you'
Aaron just nodded and the call ended and Aaron slammed the laptop to the ground in frustration…
Hearing the loud bang the secretary immediately came in and saw Aaron sitting on his chair in anger and the broken laptop.
She didn't have to ask anything, this was the 6th investor they talked to and all have rejected plus someone is using force to stop projects causing a lot of damage to the company and also his run for the chairman….
She just closed the door and left……
********************************
A month passed,
The Situation of Long's group was bad. Many projects were stopped due to no funding and the rest of the projects were disturbed due to the power struggle for who would be the next chairman…
It was 7 pm in the evening,
Aaron was sitting at his desk. He looked pale and thin. He tried everything he could but he was not successful in doing it…
He looked at the name Aaron Long, chairman written on his table and shook his head as next week is the board meeting and he knew he won't have any votes…
He was in deep sadness and his phone rang. Aaron looked at the phone and he froze…
Ava was shining bright on his screen, they were not in contact since that night and to be honest he missed her but didn't have courage to call.
He came out of his thoughts and picked up the call and said ' Hello'
There was silence from the other end and Aaron said ' you okay Ava?'
After a few seconds he heard her soft voice ' I want to meet you'
Aaron was stunned hearing it and he said ' Okay when '
Ava said ' Today 10pm, I will send you the location'
Aaron was about to say okay but the call got disconnected, he was once again shocked and was thinking why did she want to meet him all of sudden, though he was glad she called him…
He just sighed and looked at the clock and his phone rang and he looked at the message sent by Ava…
On the other hand,
Ava was standing in front of the window looking at the bright decorations on the Louis Mansion…
There was Her secretary standing behind her and she asked 'Is he coming?'
Ava nodded and said ' It's your responsibility to take me out and bring me back without anyone noticing'
Chris has put people to keep an eye on her and she was bound to the home for a month, but today she wants to take the risk and meet him…
Secretary nodded and went out….
It was 9 45 pm,
Aaron was standing at the hill Ava sent him. He stood there completely dark except for the car lights. He looked at the bustling lights of the city and stood there in silence…
40 mins passed And still there was no sign of Ava but Aaron still didn't leave. There was something that made him stay and then he heard an engine sound and turned to see a car come…
The door opened and Ava got down wearing black dress, she looked flawless though her eyes didn't have the spark she used to have but she looked like a fresh breeze…
Ava looked at Aaron and she was shocked, he looked pale and thin, her heart clenched seeing him like that, she was informed about his position fight….
They both stood in front of each other silently just looking and after sometime Aaron broke the silence and said ' How are you Ava?'
Ava looked at him and thought she wanted to say Broken but she just nodded…
Again there was silence between them…….
Ava suddenly said ' I Love You'
Aaron was stunned hearing it and he froze in his place…
Ava said ' I Loved you since I met you and tried my best to make you fall for me and get you over Maria and that night when we did it I….i had some hope that you love me and will accept me. But then I saw you were embarrassed and apologized. It made me clear that you don't have any feelings for me.' Ava said while crying.
Aaron just stood there looking at her tears rolled down her eyes…
Ava continued ' I know you Love Maria But What do I do……I fell for you…'
Aaron still was silent and in shock….
Ava looked at him shocked and gave a helpless smile and said ' Don't worry, I Didn't come here to force you, I Just wanted to meet you last time and say what was hidden in my heart,'
'And at last…..I will be married tomorrow, She said, still with a helpless smile on her face…
Aaron didn't know why But his heart pained seeing her tears….
Finally, Ava shook her head and said ' Hope you have a great life Aaron' saying she went forward and placed her soft pink lips on his rough lips…
She moved and turned and started walking towards the car. Aaron looked at her lonely back…
Ava stood in front of the car door and looked at him with a smile and said ' You don't have to be embarrassed or apologetic about that night, it was beautiful and will remain with me forever'.
Saying she sat down and the car left leaving Aaron alone…
He touched his lips which still had her aroma and her words " I Love you" were roaming in his mind…
He sat there looking at the night….
