Chapter 33_ When your enemies unites 2

Aidan walked over to the seat in front of the fireplace he sat down staring into space. He had mixed emotions in his grey orbs.

He didn't know if he was supposed to be angry or relieved about what he had done earlier.

Doesn't she understand? she was almost killed for crying out loud.

Racheal returned to her room her legs were shaking they gave way and she fell to the ground, she has not yet gotten over the truama of almost drowning and now this? she would always be reminded of Elsa's death.

She sobbed at a corner, lyra wasn't here to comfort her to sleep.

She heard a distant tune playing her favorite lullaby, before she knew it she fell into a deep slumber till the next morning without any nightmares.

Aidan sat on the dining table, today he didn't have anything important to do at the office.

For the first time in his life he was having second thoughts on what he did last night.

He opened his laptop to go through some files, his eyes narrowed when he spotted an error in the calculations his assistant gave him.

He picked up his phone "there are errors in the total profit for our oncoming project! what do you mean by that? fix it quickly and get back to me or you won't live to see another day!" he threatened.

He looked up to see Racheal staring at him intently, he sighed the memories of last night came flooding back to him.

"you want to kill someone else again? go, go and do it and I will applaud you really well? she sarcastically commented.

Aidan shut his eyes, his butler knew that as a bad sign. that was one way Aidan threatens people.

He quickly led Racheal to the garden.

Racheal sighed as she took in the fresh breeze and also inhaling the sweet scent coming from the flowers.

"young miss, master is very upset I suggest you don't say anything to upset him more" the butler explained.

"did you know what he did last night?" Racheal questioned.

The butler sighed, he didn't know if he was doing the right thing but his master really needed a light in his dark life right now.

"he didn't kill anyone last night, you were completely wrong" the butler said and left.

Rachael was left confused, he didn't say anything when she slapt him last night.

Aidan was on a call when she arrived, she sat down patiently waiting for him to finish when he was done she jerked up to her feet.

"Aidan can we talk?" she replied meekly, she saw him moving towards her, her heart skipped a beat thinking he wanted to harm her.

She shrunk back in fear, Aidan reached for his laptop and was about to leave.

She held his arm to stop him from leaving yet "I'm sorry I misunderstood you, please forgive me" she pleaded.

Aidan held her soft hand that was holding his arm, he gave it a squeeze. "don't try to hold me again or else I'll make you visit hell" he threatened.

Racheal felt bad being scolded like that, since she can't leave the house just yet she decided to take a stroll around the house.

After a while of walking around she sat down in front of the court yard.

Aidan saw her sitting alone from his study room, his butler left the coffee on the table. he hesitated for a while before speaking.

" young master, miss is quite lonely here" the butler said.

Aidan sipped his black coffee slowly, he was quite mad last night after she slapt him. he remained quiet for some minutes.

"what do ladies do for fun?" the butler raised his head in shock after hearing what his master said.

Racheal sighed for the umpteenth time, she wished lyra was here to ease her of her plight.

She missed her friend so much her, she has gotten used to having lyra around.

But one thing she couldn't get straight was who wanted her dead, before Elsa commenced her own attack last night, she has been attacked by someone but was saved by marcus.

Right now she was doing all she can to reunite lyra and her mum, Racheal knew how much lyra wanted a mother. how would she react if she found out her mother was still alive.

Racheal felt a dark shadow looming over her, she faced the person looking down at her it was Aidan.

She adjusted on her seat feeling uncomfortable with him here, she knew he was very mad at her so why was he here?

Aidan stretched forth his hand to her, she hesitated a lot before accepting his hand in one swift motion he pulled her up.

That was too sudden for Racheal as she fell forward onto his chest, her lips pressing against his cheek.

Aidan was dumbfounded as he felt her soft lips on his cheek, his one arm was tightly supporting her waist from falling.

Racheal turned red in embarrassment, she detached herself from him "I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that" she quickly apologized to him before he would get upset, she was still trying to digest the fact that he was really standing here.

Aidan held her hand as he led her to the car, he dismissed his driver and took the steering himself while some bodyguards tailed after his car.

Racheal was speechless that she kept on stealing glances at him every now and then. "if you stare at me again I'll pluck out those eyes of yours!" he threatened her.

He hissed, how come being nice was so hard to him. this was all his butler's idea.

Racheal took in several breathes before speaking out "Aidan I'm sorry about last night I promise it won't happen again" she apologized.

Aidan didn't reply for a few minutes "can you please be quiet for now?" Aidan scolded.

He hated the fact that Racheal was too nice and easily forgives.

"you know my dad always tell me something about my enemies, when your enemies unites they are up to no good so you better run" Racheal mumbled.

Aidan scoffed, no wonder she was that kind to spare her enemies by running away foolishly "your dad was wrong".
