Chapter 28_ My only wish 1

Aidan intently watched Racheal clear off the table, even though she had a small mouth it widened when she eats.

His cutlery froze on air, he hasn't been able to take a bite from his meal since he was watching the scene in front of him.

Aidan knew she would choke any moment if she wasn't stopped, so he cleared his throat to gain her attention back.

"you are sure to choke to death if you keep eating that way".

Racheal raised her head to meet his face, she didn't miss the weird look on his face right now.

She was about to laugh when she felt a burning sensation in her chest, she coughed into her palm .

She heard the sound of Aidan's cutlery dropping on the table.

"excuse me" she got up and left for the bathroom.

Racheal went into the washroom and stared at her palms it was stained with blood.

Her eyes widened at the sight, her sickness has kicked in again.

She turned to the mirror in front of her wiping off the smudged blood on her lips.

Racheal grabbed the sink as hot tears rolled down her eyes.

After almost thirty minutes of crying her eyes out she went back to the canteen but Aidan wasn't there anymore.

"where is he? and where is my journal?".

Aidan returned to his office immediately she left, he couldn't take it when his employees were giving him teasing looks.

They were supposed to fear him not love him, his attention returned to the pink book on his table. he picked it up running his hands over the cartoon drawings on it.

Aidan suddenly had the urge to open the note, he contemplated for a while before opening it.

His expression turned from worse to worst, "I hope she isn't going to ask me to do all this silly things!".

He saw the door opened and he shut the book placing it back on the table.

Racheal stared between the book and Aidan who wasn't showing any expression on his face.

She hurried to the desk and grabbed the book holding it to her chest, 'i hope he didn't read it' she narrowed her eyes down at him.

..................................

Aidan glanced at the clock it was past seven in the evening, he returned his gaze back to Racheal.

She was fast asleep on the couch, he closed his laptop walking towards her.

He pulled one of her ears harshly which woke her from her sleep.

"ouch!" she cried rubbing on her ear.

Aidan placed his hands in his Pocket without feeling remorse for what he did he started walking towards the door.

"you can spend the night here if you want" he casually said and went out of the office.

Racheal quickly grabbed all her belongings and rushed out.

She saw his black Porsche outside and entered, Racheal suddenly had a strange feeling in the car, she stole a glance at Aidan who was sitting beside her.

Her brows furrowed when she saw Aidan getting into a grey colored car outside. She slowly turned to the person beside her.

This wasn't Aidan, the man smiled wryly at her and grabbed her chin harshly.

"hello there!" the man whispered on her face.

The car started moving slowly away from the parking lot, her heartbeat increased drastically.

"Aidan!!" her voice echoed in the parking lot.

Aidan who was already in the car waiting for Racheal suddenly heard his name he saw a car sped past him.

He saw Racheal struggling to get herself out of the man's strong grip.

He immediately dismissed his driver and took the steering tailing after the car that just abducted Racheal.

...................................................................

Lyra shut down her computer, she had to work extra hours today after closing hours because of her unfinished work from yesterday.

She got up to leave when saw Brian sitting with his head faced up, it looks like he was in deep a thought.

Lyra coughed out to get his attention, Brian blinked his eyes and brought his head to look at lyra.

"I'm leaving already" she simply stated heading out first.

Brian sighed and left the office, he still hasn't been able to clear his mind off today's incident.

It's not as if she hasn't caught him in that situation before.

He pulled out of the parking lot, and drove out "lyra about earlier..."

Lyra faced him immediately " what happened earlier?" she questioned.

He sighed again "I'm sorry about the way I spoke to you".

Lyra let out a small laugh "you shouldn't worry about that, oops I forgot to give Bernard his hoodie I guess tomorrow then".

Lyra failed to notice the change in his expression his grip on the steering thightened.

She held her breathe as the car sped like lightening on the highway.

"Brian slow down you are going to kill us both" lyra screamed.
