Chapter 45: 45

"I find the love of my life so I no longer needed a substitute"

"Don’t leave!!! Please don’t go!!!"

"I love you"

"Please don’t leave!!!!"

"I beg you!!!"

I kept crying under her feet but she was holding another person’s shoulder which was not me. She has affection filled around her. She is giggling genuinely unlike how she was with me. No, I can’t bear it.

I can’t bear it.

"Ayla, wait!!!"

"Listen to me, Ayla!!!"

"Please!!!"

I kept on bawling, stretching my hand toward her when everything went dark in front of me waking me up from my nightmare.

"Am I still in my room?"

"Was that a dream?"

"If it was a dream then it sure was scary for me."

I can’t believe I had this dream when today James told me about how I will be if one day her lover will be back.

Am I feeling insecure? I’m not right? I know she too likes me but there was some insecurity growing inside me about just how I felt for Ayla. I too never thought I will lose Ayla forever but I did. She chooses him over me.

She held him in her arms unlike me and what if one day this Ayla will do the same?

I was thinking when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in!!"

It’s James.

Damn this bastard made my place his.

"What now?" I asked.

"You didn’t sleep?" he asked.

"Why is it your concern?"

"For god sake will you behave normally with me even for once?"

"Or do you think I’m a ghost who likes to run around the house as if I need blood in the middle of the night?" he said, making me massage my temple.

"Who knows maybe you can do it too", I felt like laughing.

"It wasn’t a joke. I came because I heard your scream so I thought maybe you are in trouble so I came. But when I came the scream was gone that is why I knocked or I would have just entered forcefully", he said while his eye fell on me who was completely drenched in sweat.

"You had a nightmare?"

I stayed silent.

"I asked you something?"

"Yeah, I had so what? And who the hell made me have nightmares? Isn’t it you?" I said getting up from bed.

"Aaron!!!"

"Call me Xen!!!!" I glared at him when he took his feet backwards.

"I’m not in the mood for arguing with your baseless argument", he said and left.

What the hell am I even doing now? Am I now bursting my anger on him like a trash can for my frustration? No, it’s not because he is the reason for everything then why am I feeling sympathetic all of sudden?

Oh gosh, this is driving me insane.

I returned to bed.

At morning

"Mr Xen"

"Mr Xen"

"Mr Xen"

I got up from my bed in a hurry.

"Who the hell kept on calling me?" I shouted while my eyes were still closed.

"Sir, it’s me your grandfather’s assistant", he replied while I slowly opened my eyes.

"Then? Who told you to enter my bedroom?"

"Did I ever mention I don’t like when I see people in my bedroom without my permission?"

"I’m sorry", he bowed but I could see zero sincerity in him.

"Where is the sincerity Mr Assistant?"

"I could see zero sincerity in you", I kept on circling him as if I’m pressuring him.

"I stayed quiet for a while when he said, "I know it is my mistake that I came to your room without your permission but I was assigned to behave like this and I’m not even ashamed of what I did."

Now he is freaking trying to anger me.

"I think every one of the assistants likes to behave like you where they are not aware of how to talk with their master", I said while he instantly replied, "you are not my master and I m not any kind of pet who will woof."

I clenched my fist.

"Ok tell me why are you here?"

As I said he quickly handed me over a file where I could see mine and Ayla’s pictures were filled here and there as if some paparazzi took them just like they do for the celebrity.

"What the hell is this?" I shouted.

"We too had no idea what is but when we get those pictures in the envelope we come to know about your reckless love life which may bring disaster to their Carter family so I m here assigned to be with you so that this kind of thing will never happen", he said while he still has the professional expression on his face making me anger me even more.

"Who ordered you to mess with my personal life?"

"You know how much trouble it will be if I file a lawsuit against you saying you are invading my space right?" I said.

"I know but you may not have been aware how much the reputation of the chairman of Carter group matters even more than invading your personal space", as he finish his sentence the file I was holding fell on the floor scratching his face.

Just how long it has been for someone to get on my nerves this much?

I don’t know if this person is only the assistant who knows where the limit is or just showing off full of overconfidence but sure if I see this person’s face one more time I will throw up everything I have inside my stomach.

I quickly turned toward my bed and got my phone.

"Grandpa", I said.

"Yeah Xen speak", he said.

"What are you doing now?"

"You know I don’t like someone who keeps his eye on me then why did you send this annoying person here?" I asked.

"Who? Galhan?"

"I don’t know who he is but take him back. I don’t need any person here who doesn’t even know how to enter one’s bedroom", I said looking at him.

"Stop saying childish things and get used to his presence ."

"I will send him there so that you won’t do any reckless things."

"Reckless?"

"Yeah, reckless. I think you are forgetting how you came to me just because of a girl and now you are doing it again? Or do you want me to lose my face as my soon-to-be heir is sleeping around with a whore?" he said, making me clench my fist.

"Grandpa!!!!"

"I know you are still weak but I know better and I don’t want you to feel the same way as your mother did so keep this in your brain", he said and hung up the phone.

I turned to Galhan when he was still standing.

"Choose any room you want", I said and walked toward the downstairs where James was having breakfast.

"Who was the person?" James asked.

"How many times do I have to mind your own business unless you want me to call the police and file charges about how you forcefully came into my house and lived with all luxury? What do you say? Isn’t it going to be fun?" I said, crossing my hands.

"Don’t be so cunning little brother", he again pissed me off.

"I’m not your brother", I said.

"Woah then why do we both have the same father’s name on our birth certificate? Is it a printing mistake?"

"Who knows, maybe there is a person with the same name and title. Why are you so concerned with mine or you are just so obsessed with me", I said while preparing my breakfast.

He stayed silent when I looked at him.

Whenever I look at myself I have lots of things going on in my head. Sometimes I wonder why Ayla and he are not together. I wonder if he once said he didn’t like him then how she would have reacted and if they are not together then where is she?

"Where is she?" it slipped my mouth.

"What?" he asked.

"I’m asking where she is?" I asked.

"Who?"

"Ayla", I said.

"Why are you asking again when you have a girlfriend?" he asked.

"I will ask again where she is?" I asked.

"Why are you asking me?"

"Aren’t you the one who saw her last time?" I asked.

"How so sure?"

"Stop putting words like a riddle and answer me what happened? Why you are not with her and where the fuck she is ?" I kept on questioning but my patience level is decreasing over time.

"Ha ha"

"Are you laughing?" I looked at him.

"Of course, you are joking with me so isn’t it obvious?"

"I’m joking? Are you drunk early this morning? Or you want me to push you in the water to make you sober?" He sure is walking on thin ice asking things like this to me.

"Of course, you are joking when you are asking me what happened back then when you never reciprocated when I wanted to tell you?"

"Are you forgetting ?"
