"What a beautiful name, Liam" I smiled at this little kid.
"Thank you, but I think you need to talk to my manager about this,"
He said this mischievously while giggling, which had me thinking that he must be thinking something else too.
"There she is, you can talk to her, and I have some urgent work to do." He pointed towards a girl who was standing and staring at one of the massive paintings." I need to go now. I'm a busy man, you know," he said.
I smiled at this kid. He was sure a bit playful but innocent at the same time. I patted his head and waved him goodbye.
"Goodbye, young man!"He smiled at me, waving me back, and ran in the opposite direction.I remembered what he said and walked towards his manager, still surprised that Liam painted this masterpiece at such a young age. I was very sincere when I said I wanted to buy it, but I didn't realize that the painter would easily purchase his paintings.
thanks for your support till here. means a lot to me :)
Layla's Perspective: I was looking at this album made by my dad. He made this album for Liam and me to see our moments in the best way possible when we grow up. He decorated this album very beautifully and created every moment like we are living in the moment. I miss my mom and dad a lot today because they would be really happy to see Liam coming this far. "I wish that you guys could see this today," I thought. I was still lost in my thoughts when suddenly my phone buzzed. It was a notification from an unknown number. I smiled at the realization of who it was from. "Do you wanna grab a coffee sometime? ~P.S: This is someone who wants to buy your brother's painting but is unable to." I replied and closed the album I was seeing. Liam was really happy when he told me about Aiden wanting to buy his painting. They both were getting along pretty well when we went to grab some
"So, did you agree?" Amy moved forward, giving me a curious look, slapping her hands on the table. "Amy, come on! I just told you everything right now, and you are asking me if I agreed or not," Like any other Best friend, I told Amy everything that happened yesterday because it was bothering me, and I couldn't come up with a decision. I can't just leave Aiden hanging for this long. "You know what? I believe that he is right. It would be best if you opened up now, Layla, before it's too late. You should start living too." Amy said, filling her mouth with peanuts once again. "I'm right now in the process of making a decision. And Aiden also said that Amy could join us too so that I can feel comfortable," I explained. Her eyes widen, and I could feel a spark of mischievousness in her eyes. "Woah, that would be an awesome and much thrilling experience for both of us. Imagine us being international spies. On top of that, he
Aiden's perspective:"She just texted saying that she would be here soon, are you done preparing everything," I asked Noah.Noah jumped up from the sofa where he was sitting for as long as I can remember. He took off today, and that's why he was wearing his comfortable red hoodie and not a suit."Yes, sir! Everything here," he showed me his left hand in which he was holdings two files," and here too." He then showed me his right hand, in which he was holding my USB.I took both the things from his hands and placed them on the table."So how did she accepted this quickly?" Noah asked, leaning on the table beside me.I was surprised that she agreed on this Early. I was expecting a few days or a week for her to decide. Anyways, the early she agrees, the better it would be for us."She might have come up with a decision sooner; what else," I said."Well, that's v
To everyone who asks me this question, yes, I want to kill him, and I would be at peace after killing him. Xx___xX "Yes," I replied, "but you don't need to worry about that part. I will manage it alone in California," I said so that everyone can be at ease. I'm stronger than they think. I've wanted to do this since 14 years ago, and finally, it's happening. There was much to investigate in this case. I'm just doing it for the family I had a long time ago. "So our first mission is to stop him from asking help from any other outsider other than me, and we need to imply it as soon as possible," "You said that you would hire someone to locate his location," Noah reminded me. "Yup, I'm looking into it. I plan to bump into him and make it look like a coincidence. I would hire some hacker so that we can know about his location. It would be difficult
"Are you sure that we are at the right place?" Noah asked uncomfortably, looking around and taking a full look."Trust my skills. Tyler is here, and all I need to do now is hack the camera," Amy replied, still clicking on her keyboard. Layla looked uncomfortable too,"This place is shady," Layla said."Of course, it needs to be shady. Tyler is here because no one here knows who he is. He is trying to run away without letting anyone know," I explained."Yeah, he is trying to be pretty smart," Amy agreed."There is no news anywhere of Tyler regaining consciousness. He is keeping it a secret so that he could elope without anyone interfering in his plan," I further added. "Then wouldn't it be weird if you claim to know him?" Layla asked"Yeah, and do you think that he would still trust you?" Noah joined her. I smirked, "Who said that I would claim to know him? And if I don't know him and get to know him, then I would gain his
Layla's Perspective:"Aiden? Aiden's response please," Noah was shouting in his air buds, trying to grab Aiden's attention."Why isn't he moving?" Amy was scared."Shit, I should have seen that coming," Noah was also getting tensed."What do you mean?" I asked."I mean, he is meeting his enemy after 14 years. An enemy who stole everything Aiden had. He is trying to be brave, but still, he is completely frozen. We need to do some time. He is scared," Noah finished his sentence being very panicked and immersing himself into the laptop once again.At that moment, I felt like Aiden needs my help. As he said earlier, I was the only one who can understand him, and now I can feel how Aiden must be feeling. I didn't think twice and hurried out of the car. I could hear Amy asking me what am I doing, but I still ran. I ran to save him. I can't leave him alone like that when he needs me. Although it was a su
Layla's Perspective: We've been home for almost three days after that meeting with Tyler. Amy is usually in contact with Noah, but Aiden Is occupied. I don't blame him because Noah was right. Noah was right that Aiden is meeting his enemy after 14 years, and it would be difficult for him to face him after all the things Tyler did to Aiden. I don't know what Tyler did to Aiden, but the way he is broken that much, it must be something, but I'll wait for him to open up to me. I need to do the same, opening up to him about my past someday, and I've been preparing myself for it. I finally took the sip of the coffee from the coffee cup, which I was holding for almost like 10 mins. I was worried about so many things right now. And Tyler not calling Aiden for almost three days is one of them. "Sis, why are you up so early?" Liam tried to bring me back to reality by entering our Terrace. I
It was too late to realize the truth. Now I understood everything. Aiden gave out millions of dollars easily, laughed when I told him my dream company name and how cheerful I was while talking about him as an inspiration. But I can't blame him. It was me who was dumb. I was still frozen at my place when he moved towards me with my boss Emma, a huge smirk on his face."This is the head of our design department, Miss Layla. She is one of the most talented workers we ever had," Emma walked towards me and then pointed at me, "She is one of our longest employees with many talents. Also, she is a fan of you and your company too,"I mean, I was joking when I asked her to praise me in front of the CEO, but she just did that.Now I was embarrassed and looked down at the floor because I didn't expect him to be here and lost my confidence. I was amazed by his presence here and how he carefully examined me when Emma spoke abou
