CHAPTER 8: AIDEN’S POV

I sent a message to Amelia, but I didn't want to do it , she was my secretary and all we should talk was about business, I think I did a worst thing by sending her a message talking about her personal life , asking her if all her stresses were gone . Maybe she may think that as something else and it was really amazing because I have never been good to her anymore, I know that I have been very rude to her.

I wasn't in my bed yet and I couldn't even sleep , I was with my family and they all Decided to spend the night at my house.

It was my sister Amber , brother Anthony and my mom , it was really amazing to spend time with a family when all of them are happy . I really liked staring at them , playing games together and laughing so hard.

Their eyes squint slightly , wrinkles appear at the corners of their eyes ,their cheeks raise ,and a defined wrinkle runs from the sides of their nose to the corners of their mouth and I can simply call that " smile lines ", the corners of their mouth move up at a diagonal , widening their mouth and their mouth part exposing teeth .

I was a bit far from them because I was writing a message

"Aiden, come and join us " said Amber

"Yeah , sure "

As I took one step I got a message

"Good night Aiden " those are the words that appeared on my screen and my heart melted because i genuinely said that it must Amelia since I sent her a message too wishing her a good night . As I opened the message I found that the message wasn't from Amelia but it was from Jessica ,

" oh shit " I said a bit louder

" Aiden what's wrong ??? What's the shit you are looking at in your phone? Asked Amber

" oh. … actu.. sorry "

" come join us "

"Sure "

I put my phone on the sofa

" why do I have to wait for Amelia's message?? Shit , I don't have to " I said those words louder and I forgot the presence of my family

" Aiden Who is Amelia ??? Asked Anthony he seemed like having curiosity " is she your girlfriend??? …

" Why would you say that ???"

" Amber you are the one who is always aware of Aiden's life , so who is Amelia???" Anthony kept asking

"I don't know " Said Amber as she raised her one shoulder slightly and momentarily to express doubts (she shrugged)

They all wanted to know who Amelia was

" I remember, I know that Amelia you are talking about "said my mom in aloud voice and she laughed " it's his secretary, but please Aiden don't tell me that she is your girlfriend

" Why can't she become my girlfriend? " I asked her and the conversation seemed like becoming more serious that we thought , because there were no laughs , and no Jokes too

" She doesn't suit you dear son , and dear future billionaire " she said as she raised her one eyebrow and in a serious tone , her eyes were looking at me straight in the face , and the seriousness appeared on her face . She was looking at me in a serious way and I noticed that she must be serious and she really meant what she said .

I hated my mom's altitude and I hated her bad manners and most especially I hated how she involved in our personal life , I was old enough to choose for myself and I also knew what suited me and what was good for me .

" How comes do you say that she doesn't suit me mom ?? Who can be the best match for me ?? "

" Maybe Jessica " she said " She can be your best match "she insisted

" Then you want me to marry her because you guys and her family are best friends "

" My baby you don't know how both families , I mean my family and theirs were so much happy because of the relationship you had with her , you were the best match ever " she said as she started touching on my shoulder and she stood right besides me , Anthony and Amber were quite just looking at our arguments

"Mom I'm not disrespecting you , but who are you to choose for me ?? I know what suits me , I have passed through a lot and you were not around to be besides me , remember you were gone for many years , you just returned and you want ….

" Aiden am your mother I know what's the best for you "

"Anyway Amelia that we are talking about is not my girlfriend she is only my secretary but please don't you dare involve in my life , I have to fall for the one I want "I said in an angry way , my eyebrows were a bit lowered and pulled almost together and my lips were tighten and a bit curl inwards , my jaws were tense and jut forward straightly , I didn't even join their games because they were all ruined , I went upstairs and they were all looking at my me , looking at my back as I stepped upstairs in my room until I disappeared.

As I reached in my room , I had a big room and there were some pictures hung on the wall in my room and most of them included my family photos. My room was really artful and everyone would love to stay in it , I had a wide bedroom which was covered with white sheets and my duvet was big and warm and my wardrobe was made of glasses .

I was sitting on my bed recalling the quarrels I had with my mother , I took off my clothes and wore my pajamas, I didn't like how my mother involved in my personal life and i didn't know that she would wished to involve in my love life too , she wanted me to call for Jessy and why would I fall for the girl that I don't like . And I know that all she wanted was to keep the wealthy in my family. I know that Amelia wasn't my type and I didn't love her too but I didn't also know that my mother would wish to ruin Our love I mean my love with Amelia if I loved her .

I went in the fridge to take a glass of water because I was a bit stressed And I went straight in my warm bed and turned off the light so that I may try sleeping though it was a bit difficult.

"Aiden wake up " I heard my brother's voice waking me

"What's wrong " I asked

" Won't you go to the company today " he said as he looked on his watch

It was already in the morning and I felt as if I have slept for only two hours , i went to bed late last night because I was quarreling with mom . I was a bit tired since I did it have a plenty of sleep .

" Anthony I'm not feeling well " I said as I immediately lay down on the bed again

" Aiden I know what's wrong with you but please don't mind mom' s words , and of course you have the right to do what you want "

I loved my brother Anthony because he was the only one who was always there for me ? Who understood me when others didn't. He was different from my mom and Amber

I immediately woke up and took my towel which was hung on the wardrobe door and went in the shower , i preferred cold water because the day looked warm I finished bathing and went to put on my clothes

The day was bright and beautiful and overhead the little sun Blazed down upon me out of a deep blue sky , the air outside was fresh and the sky was blue and some white clouds appeared in the sky , the atmosphere was really fresh and beautiful . Input on my clothes and went straight in the parking to take my car , I was ready to go , and as I stepped outside I heard my mom' s voice calling me

" Aiden " I replied as I turned around

" what is it now " I said

" Just think of what I told you last night "

She said

I thought that she wanted to ask for forgiveness since we have had an argument but she was insisting what she said

" mom I don't have anything to think of " I said as I stepped in my car And started driving. She just ruined my day, talking about the girlfriends that I don't even have .

I drove my car madly and reached to the company, I went in my office and Amelia wasn't around . I was sitting alone in the office waiting for Amelia and I knew that she was scared because she was late and I always scolded her . I went to stand near the window and as I looked down through window I saw Amelia with her Friend Isabella , they were talking and Amelia was smiling faintly and that smile looked good on her , she seemed to be happy but poor her I was going to scold her because she was late.

After sometime I heard my office door opening and it was Amelia

" you are late again " I said as I crossed my arms around my chest and raised one eyebrow

" Aiden I'm sorry there was traffic jams " she said as she looked down on the floor

I looked her blonde hair which was fastened with elastic bands , she was wearing a shirt which looked a bit tight and showed some parts of her breasts, it was sexy and she was wearing a blue pant which was tight and knee high boots , she looked good in those outfits .

" Amelia please try to wake up early because you can't always be late " I said

" Yes Aiden " She said as she lifted her head and looked at me straight and our eyes met , we were both speechless and had nothing to say .

" Excuse me " Jessy interrupted as always " Aiden here are some documents you need to revise " Jessy said as she placed them on the table " and I'm sorry again for the interruption " she added

" Jessy you didn't interrupt anything " Said Amelia

" there was nothing going on between us " she added

" Anyway Jessy learn to knock most especially when you want to enter my office " I said as I looked her

Amelia was a bit shocked and Jessy was shocked too , I saw some jealous on Jessy's face as she looked back

" okay Aiden I will have to knock next time " she said as she stepped out and it's like there was some tears in her face though she didn't want to express her sadness

" Aiden why would you say that ??" Asked Amelia

" what's wrong with what I said , she has to knock , what if she finds us in some private things " I said and Amelia was shocked again

" S… Some private things ??"

" yes , I mean she doesn't have the right to open my door without my permission " I said as I sat down and started reading through the documents , Amelia was sitting on the chair which was opposite to mine looking at me

" Why are you looking at me ??? Do you like me " I said

" Nooo it's not like that " she said as she started looking through the documents too and she was shy a bit .

I laughed a little faintly and said nothing .

The day was good and there was a bit silence in the company it's like all people were busy working and there were no people circulating around . There was a deep silence in my office since i didn't have a lot to talk with Amelia. We were all quite working and bored as if there was no one in the office . No body broke the silence neither me nor her . We were looking through documents turning papers and I can say that there was-only sound of papers turning around .
