Episode-397

 Episode-397   Aaron’s POv:   I walked in to see her between papers, she looks at me and I can see the lost awkward face she has… I said, “Can… Can we talk?.. Mom…”  few minutes later, Mom sat here on the sofa, I poured her the tea. She loves this jasmine tea… she is more of a coffee person but she still likes this type of tea…  Mom said, “You.. look thin…. Did Evelyn’s obsession reached you too?”   I looked at Mom and said, “No… actually…. I am.. working… there is a problem you know…”  Mom’s eyebrow’s furrowed, She asked, “Do you worry about your girlfriend?... that I got here to torture her, so I can make her run away from you….” she scoffed. Yea…. here is where Evelyn get’s her impatient angry words, they do this when they are angry, frustrated and afraid…. they get hateful….  I said, “Mom… I know you are not the one to hate anyone… and I trust my mother… She can’t hurt anyone… and I never think of the word ‘Torture’ related to you…. but.. I am indeed confused, why you are doing this?”   Mom said, “Why can’t I?... That girl has her life messed, I just.. Just couldn’t imagine her future… I thought maybe she needs something to get herself busy and independent….”   I smiled and said, “You are worried about her…” Mom denied, “I am not… I find no reason to worry for her, Aaron…” I nod, but I am happy… at least Angela got in…. time heals everything.   Mom sipped her tea and I tasted mine, It’s good. Really aromatic. Mom asked, “What’s the problem related to work?”    I said, “nothing… just usual…” Mom said, “You…. I need truth… Look at yourself, you look sleepless and I know when you are like this… you all are doing something terrible…”  She is the Mom, what can we hide? I said, “Mom… actually…. I am thinking about the land problem, that land belonging to Ruth….”  Mom corrected, “Aunty Ruth…. she was your Aunty….” she can never be that….. not after what you went through…   Mom sigh, she said, “I don’t know what is going to happen… that’s a big problem…”  I said, “we will solve it…”  Mom said, “We?... are your sibling’s involved?” Sh*t!... I said, “I took advice from brothers…. They know more than me, and Asked Celeste’s legal opinion…” Mom said, “she is pregnant… don’t stress her, baby…. and don’t cause any trouble…”  I nod and said, “I never cause trouble, mom..” she smiled looking at me.  She said, “I and your father are thinking about retiring….”  I looked at Mom surprise. She said, “don’t tell your siblings…. we are still thinking…. I mean… we were going to retire this year, but since Celeste is pregnant.. we think your Brother needs to be near his wife…. and…. You are already doing great with Scott’s corporation.. Alexis is looking after your Dad’s business in E country, and Ernest is looking after the business here and being the king will be too much at this moment….. and Evelyn… she is not in good mind right now, Giving her workload of this brand will not be good…. but she needs to break the contract between Knights to lead this boutique…” Yea… sounds a lot… but we are glad we are 4, or this could have been mess…  Logan’s POV:   (I pulled her to myself, we both chuckled in each other’s embrace… I kissed her lips and whispered, ‘love you, My Princess’  she said, “Stop it Mr. Introvert.” she teased. She took something from my hand, and sat beside me. Everything is so blur…. but I can hear voices… it’s strange…  she turned to me and asked, “You love me?... I might be package of problems”   I whispered, “You are worth everything to risk…I love you…”)  the alarm clock broke my sleep. I sat up  sweating, while this head ache is killing me…. but that memory…. I seemed to be happy…. the voice?... the laugh?.. the words…  it sounded like Princess Evelyn Gray….. Maybe I was really dating her… seemed like I really loved her… then what happened?... this is so f*cking annoying…
