Lana~“That’s it.” I grinned as I hopped into the car. Aaron glanced at me, a tired smile laid on his lips.“I’m glad.” He whispers, taking my hand in his. “We can leave now.” I tell the driver that merely nodded. Aaron brings up my hand and kisses it softly, shutting his eyes close. “How far is your house from here?” I asked“Twenty minutes.” He replied without looking up at me. I hummed as we drove out of the company. Aaron went silent but his grasp on my hand still tight.I took the opportunity to look at him properly again, his long lashes sat prettily. At this point I’m convinced it’s some sorcery because why are his lashes longer than mine. “Creep.” He mutters, his eyes shooting open. I felt a blush creep up my face, he caught me staring at him.“Don’t worry, I like it when you look at me and only me.” He tells me, pulling me closer to him.“You shouldn’t be displaying much strength, you’re sick.” I scolded and he rolled his eyes. “Are you going to be my nurse too?”“Exactly

Lana~“Where is my son?” Her sharp gaze accessing me. I gulped the pile in my throat, taking a step back to allow her into the house. She removed the shades sitting on her nose, a look of irritation flashed through her features.“He is in his room and is sick.” I replied, she quirked an eyebrow up, looking at me from head to tail.“Why are you dressed like a tramp on sale? Is this how you manage the company with Aaron? Are you trying to seduce him?” She asks. Let me introduce you to Melanie Carlsen. Eugene Carlsen’s second wife and Aarons stepmother, she’s not a fan of me and it’s nothing new. To be honest I still can’t pinpoint what exactly it is I did to make her dislike me and frankly I couldn’t care. Melanie is someone like my mother, well, they sure almost the same personality. Averagely tall, plump with a lot of cosmetic surgeries, extremely pale skin.“Excuse me ma’am but I don’t think my dressing is in anyway your business. Your son is sick, you’d hold probably be after that.

Lana~I groaned shifting slightly only to hear someone chuckle beside me. My eyes flew open to see Aaron gazing at me, face inches away from mine.He leaned back, allowing me space to breathe and grasp the situation. “You’re awake?” I croaked out, cursing my subconscious for making me sound like a frog in need of hot water.“Yes, woke up earlier than you.” He responded and just then did I take a better look at him. He seemed extremely better than yesterday. “Do you feel better?” I asked, sitting up.Aaron nods "Thank you for staying with me last night, I’m sure you had better things to do than this and I shouldn’t have-“ I furrowed my eyebrows, wondering just what he is apologizing for?“Are you apologizing for being sick? I don’t regret staying and making sure you’re alright. It’s alright with me.” I replied. Aaron glances at me, a smile taking over his face.“Still thank you. I’m sure you were pissed with the way Asher and Kai kept calling you.” He grumbles and I chuckled. Rememberi

Lana~"What are you guys doing here?” I ask as I got down from the car. Ellie and Sasha turn to look at me, eyes widening upon seeing me well and alive."So you weren’t in there dead?” Sasha deadpans, warning her a slap on her arm. “Don’t be ridiculous. I told you she’s okay and you could stop panicking.” Ellie sneers, taking a step towards me.“We didn’t hear from you all through yesterday, Sasha had a bad date and decided to crash at yours but you weren’t home. She came to mine and suddenly had a premonition about you being locked up or something. Anyways, she made me drive here so early searching for you.”“It was a dream.” Sasha chirps in. “And we wouldn’t have gone through all of that stress if your phone wasn’t turned off. Seriously, where are you coming from.” Sasha asked.I sighed exasperatedly, knowing I brought this upon myself. I was so worried about Aaron that I forgot to inform them I would be going with him. Must have been surprising for them to not heart anything from

Lana~“Let’s go out tomorrow?” “Why do you say? Are you free tomorrow noon? What am I even asking? Of course you wouldn’t but what I’m saying is that, you can take a break tomorrow.” Aaron rants on, walking behind me as I put the files into their appropriate places.“Aaron, you only got approval from your doctor to start working. Why not give it a rest?” I pause, raising my eyebrows at him. He sighs, pulling me closer to him by my shoulders.“I really want to go out with you and I know this might look desperate but I think it’s long overdue. We deserve this much, don’t you think?” He asks me, lower lips slightly jutting out in a pout.I chuckled but nodded “Alright, but don’t you think we should wait till weekend? Today is a Wednesday and you haven’t been at work for two days. Perhaps you-" I didn’t get to complete my words as he stops me.“I technically own the company, Lana. I can take a week’s break if I want. Taking a break tomorrow won’t damage the company.” He shoots back. “Com

Lana~“So you’re telling me she did that?” Ellie asks and I hum, taking another slice of ham to eat.“I really don’t understand why Mr Carlsen had to marry her, I mean, she’s always so mean, arrogant and believes she’s better than everyone.” “Maybe because she is, did you see her bag? It can buy me and my family.” Sasha counters as Ellie gasps incredulously. “You’re just too much, how much is a Birkin bag?” Ellie asks, I shrug but Sasha takes out her phone to Google it. “Eighteen thousand!” She gasps, shoving her phone at Ellie who squinted to read the letters. “Bitch, you better be joking. She spends this much on a freaking bag." Ellie grabs the phone, taking a closer look at the amount.“Dude, they’re rich, rich.” She says after some seconds, passing the phone back to Sasha who hums in agreement.“Can she adopt me? I promise I’ll behave.” “Eew, have some dignity, Sasha.” I hit her on the head. Ellie cackles while Sasha grumble about being mistreated."She’s like Ursula from that

Lana~I stare at my reflection, a sigh escaped my lips. I can’t help but think about how the night would end. How everything would go. Would Mr Carlsen like me going out with his son? Will I still have my job?It’s not like I can be fired flimsily. My subconscious tells me but I shove it at the back of my mind. I place my hands over the dress, smoothening the rough edges as I gnawed on my lower lip with worry. My phone dinged, letting me know I have a message. I flinched slightly at the notification, taking the phone off the table to check my message. Aaron texted, letting me know he is now outside my home.I take a step back, looking at myself for the hundredth time through the mirror, I nod in satisfaction, now grabbing my purse and walk out of the room. Soon I was outside the house locking the door properly. Aaron was parked right in front of the house, he stood by the car in a black shirt and black trousers, his hair curled and brushed, allowing some of the curls fall to his f

Lana~“What are you doing here?" Aaron asks, standing up from his chair to face the lady. I look around to see everyone of them with the same facial expression, surprised. A woman stood beside Melanie, talking and elegant, face slim yet stainless, looking like a porcelain doll. She had a black dress that hugs her body like a second skin on, longe blonde hair that accentuated her blue eyes. Full lips moulded in a brown matte lipstick."I- I had to see you, your mom invited me over.” The lady stutters out, tucking her blonde hair behind her ear, she glances at Mr Carlsen, an awkward smile on her lips.“Good evening, Eugene, I hope you’re okay with me being here.” She speaks.“No! No one is okay with you being here, Andrea. What were you even thinking about, inviting her back here!” Aaron snaps. I suddenly became very much aware of the situation at hand.“I did you a favor. Something we should’ve settled right when it began. You and Andrea had the-““Melanie! My relationship is not your
