CHAPTER 39

"I'm so happy for you girl. Does this mean, we've got a wedding to prepare for?" Alina asked excitedly over the phone.

"Of course Lina so you have to patch things up with jerky professor as soon as possible because it might be awkward if the both of you see each other at my wedding" Aria said over the phone.

"Emm... About that Ria" Alina said and pursed as Aria cut in sharply.

"What happened Lina? Did Nolan ignore your calls?" Aria asked curiously and Alina laughed.

"What are you saying? Of course not. Exactly, Nolan and I patched things up yesterday" Alina said and Nolan pecked Alina on her palms.

"Are you serious? That's good. I'm happy for you Lina. You have no idea, how relieved I am right now" Aria said excitedly.

"Thank you but Ria, your wedding wouldn't affect your career right? You won't have any problems at work right?" Alina asked concerned.

"Of course Lina. What problems would I probably get for making such a good decision for myself" Aria said with a nervous smile.

"I'm happy you're taking this step in your life Ria. Congratulations girl" Alina said with a wide smile.

Nolan walked to the other end to speak probably with Matt over the phone.

"Congratulations buddy" Nolan said over the phone.

"Thanks Nolan"

"When do you plan on pushing through with the wedding? Or should I say the engagement party? Your fans will be hurt if you don't hold a conference meeting to announce this union" Nolan said calmly.

"I posted it on my IG account so everyone gets ready to receive the next blow. They're probably so many people out there who aren't happy with this decision of mine but I'm not giving in to anyone's choice because I'm only fighting for my happiness and I'm going to see to it till the very end" Matt said over the phone.

"With the way you sound, I think your group members wouldn't be supportive either. Did you tell them about this decision of yours?" Nolan asked.

"Do I really have to tell them?" Matt questioned.

"What do you think? Don't you think they deserve to know?" Nolan asked.

Later that day at Aria's house...

Mrs Kim visited.

"President, what brought you all the way here?" Aria asked as she took her seat.

"Aria how could you do this to me? You made such a huge decision without telling me about it. Did you ever see me or consider me your big sis? You know how much I care about your career and how difficult it was for us to get here but you made such a decision without consulting me. Why Aria?" Mrs Kim said seriously.

"What are you talking about CEO?" Aria played dumbed.

"Aria, you know exactly what I'm talking about and this is exactly what I'm talking about" Mrs Kim said showing Aria, Matt's post on his IG account.

"This is an engagement ring and it had your name on the post caption. Our phones have been beeping and ringing all morning. The whole company is in fire. How come, my artist made up her mind on such a decision and the agency doesn't know of it. Who would believe me if I make such a statement? But first of, Aria don't tell me you agreed on getting married to Matt?" Mrs Kim asked seriously.

"I'm sorry president but I'm getting married to Matt and it's not like I planned on keeping it away from all of you. Matt only proposed last night and that post was made at the middle of the night" Aria said calmly and Mrs Kim clenched her fist.

"And you agreed to his proposal. Aria, have you lost your mind? What about your career? What about your ambitions? Don't tell me you're going to give all that up just to get married to Matt?"

"Mrs Kim, you need to relax. You're taking this too far and what's wrong with getting married. I gave my consent because I want to be Matt so what's wrong with that?"

"Everything's wrong with it Aria. You need get your head together and start thinking straight. Are you sure this is how you wish to end your career or don't you know the consequences of your actions right now? As if dating him wasn't enough, now you wish to make things official? If Matt chose to do this, I wouldn't have a problem with that because he has gone to maximum lengths on his career so getting married wouldn't affect his career but you're different Aria, you're a girl" Mrs Kim half yelled as she held her waist with her hands.

"Just because I'm a girl, does that mean I don't deserve to be happy either? President, I've been an artist for fourteen years now and I've gotten and received all the fame and love I need from my fans. I'm not asking for more. It's high time I give room to the upcoming artist and I'm sorry but I'm not changing my mind about getting married to Matt. Please be understanding" Aria said looking away.

Mrs Kim punched the pillow on the couch.

"I'm only being this way because I'm having second thoughts about letting you go. I can't even imagine doing that. I never thought this day will come so soon. I'm not prepared for this Aria, you took me unawares. What do I do?" Mrs asked sadly as she looked at Aria.

"I've always been a bone on your throat, now is your chance to let me go without even thinking twice. I'm sorry for not letting you know first but this is what I really want. I might probably stop getting much to do after I get married so that might be a semi retirement but I'm not going to regret my decision. I love Matthew and spending the rest of my life with him, happened to be my most important goal right now. I'm sorry" Aria said politely.

Mrs Kim sighed as she shot her eyes and she walked to Aria.

"Come here" Mrs Kim said and hugged Aria.

"You've worked so hard Aria, you deserve this much. I shouldn't be greedy and selfish. Congratulations little sis" Mrs Kim said calmly as she pat Ari's back.

"Thank you so much for supporting me" Aria said almost in tears.

FALCON'S OFFICE....

Lilian was seated at the couch in falcon's. Her attention was buried in the project she was constructing that she didn't notice Falcon come into the office.

"I really don't get you. For how long, do you plan on doing that? You can just leave it to your employees to handle. Why beat yourself over it?" Falcon asked and Lilian raised her face up.

"For how long have you been there?" Lilian asked and continued what she was doing.

"I just got here. You're avoiding my question. You can do this at your company but you're here instead why? What's in your head? You've barely turned my office into yours" Falcon pointed out the sat down.

"We're both working on this project together so it's only advisable I come to your office to work it out and this is our first collabo on a project together so I want to give it all my all"

"You're working so hard but you really don't have to. You're working with me on this so you should give yourself some slack. You've probably not showered for days" Falcon said and suddenly Lilian's nose started bleeding and blood dropped on the sketch paper on the table.

"Oh no, you've got a nosebleed" Falcon informed and quickly grabbed some tissues from the table and he covered Lilian's nose with it.

"Thank you" Lilian said about to continue what she was doing and Falcon pushed the table away.

"What do you think you're doing? You've been working none stop for days now. You should give yourself a break, you work this hard or not, this project will still go on so why are you killing yourself over this project?" Falcon scolded.

"And raise your head up" Falcon ordered with a frown.

"I'm working this hard because you're in it. You're best at everything you do, even though you work hard or not but I'm different Falcon. I've always worked hard to win and I've gotten obsessed with winning so I can't slack now. You're good but I want to prove I'm the best" Lilian said seriously and Falcon shook his head.

"For a moment, I forgot you're a badass girl. Whoever got the both of us to collaborate in this project, that person lost his mind long time ago. I don't usually take on a project with just anyone. I work alone and my victory is for me alone. You're only killing yourself this way because I'm your partner in this but you're forgetting something Lilian, I'm only working with you because I also want to prove you wrong. A good captain doesn't work or sail alone so get yourself together and grab something to eat before you lose your mind or even find yourself at the hospital before the project gets finished" Falcon said seriously then stood up.

He walked to the door but Lilian called him back.

"Falcon!" Lilian called out almost in a whisper and he turned around.

"What?" Falcon asked coldly.

"I'm not your enemy. We started on the wrong foot in the past but I really want to set things right this time and that's why I'm here" Lilian said calmly.

"And what profit with I make from your motive? I'm only in for business. We're either competitors or enemies. Not friends so keep up the negative spirit because that's motivating" Falcon said coldly and left the office.

"Secretary Park, get Lilian something to eat and you have to make sure she eats it. I'm done for the day, I will be heading home" Falcon said.

"Boss, what about the project? You haven't checked on the sketch works of the staff on your desk"

"Why should I? Lilian offered to take care of it on her own so let her handle it. I'm leaving" Falcon said and walked away.

Matthew visited his dorm with his group members.

"You're all here" Matt said as he saw them all at the sitting room.

"You finally thought of coming here" Greg the second vocalist scoffed.

"Greg, don't be like that. Matt visited after a long time, we should be make some peace don't you think" Minyu the youngest member cut in.

"Peace? Did you just say peace? Oh, give me a break!" Greg said angrily.

"Greg, why are you fuming exactly? Stop lashing it out on Minyu. If you have anything to say then say it to me straight at my face" Matt said sarcastically.

"Just because you're the group leader, you give making hasty decisions on your own. What the nerve you've got to upload such a post on your IG account"

"Watch your mouth Greg!" Matt fired and he stood up.

"Guys please calm down. We can discuss this quietly, no need to yell at each other" Minyu said and Greg glared at him.

"Oh please shut it. You're only sounding this way because you've always played the good boy role but I'm nothing like you Minyu so stay out this. I know you also have questions and you're upset about Matthew's decisions so there's nothing to be calm about. Drop the act" Greg yelled.

"Just because I proposed to Aria, you're making all this fuss. You just made it clear that you will never be happy for me"

"What a selfish bastard! All you've ever cared about is yourself. I'm out of here" Greg hissed and walked out.

"Greg!" Minyu called out and ran after him.

Alina, Nolan and their son went out to have a family time while they dissolve their divorce with their lawyer close by.

Nolan and Louis took their seats already.

"Sweetie, I will be right back. I will go place our orders" Alina said with a smile.

"Alright love. I will call my lawyer over" Nolan smiled and Alina walked to the counter.

After placing their orders, she noticed someone was watching her from another table.

What's this chilly feeling? Alina questioned in her head and she turned around to that direction and her phone dropped from her hand in shock.

"Mum!" Alina called out in shock as her eyes landed on the lady with a scarf on whose eyes were on her.
