Sold To The Wicked Him

“What do you mean I can’t visit? I did so much of a hassle just to be here and you won’t even let me in?”

Frustrated, She could not help but raise her voice in anger.

“Sylphia, this is not the right time, please leave”

Mad at what she heard, Sylphia pushed Elton away. It took her great efforts just to be here and have a girl’s night with Lea and this is what she would receive? For her, it is but a piece of bull shit that she won’t just accept as it is. No matter what it was, she wants to see Lea and she wants to spend some time with her. And it is something that she will not let just pass by.

“Elton, I did not waste that much time just for you to block me. Even if Lea is that man’s wife, no one can stop me from seeing her!”

“Sylphia, please stop it right now!”

Hard headed as she is, she did not listen and soon the guards following her arrived. Elton then points her and asks them to do something. They are in Aiden’s office. She visited in his house yet Lea wasn’t there. Her thinking led her to the conclusion that if she is not there then the only place she can be at is Aiden’s office.

Having the chance to barge in his office, she was surprised to see no Lea in there. Nothing at all. Not her hair, nor her shadow. No lea.

“Lea??” she called with a smile on her face. But just like what her eyes can see, no Lea was there.

“Hey Aiden, where is she?”

She asked hoping to receive an answer. But instead of a face with no care at all, Aiden looks different that it made Sylphia be worried. It was not the face that she was ready to see. It is not something that she even think she would have a sight of the moment she entered that place.

“Hey, what happened to you?”

His face was full of tiredness written all over. He lose weights and all. He even have that eyebags, so dark that one would question if he is still sleeping.

“Sylphia! You are going too far! Not all things is a game for you to play. Get out of here right now before I call nana!”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Confused, she wants answer but none would tell her so. That made her be worried and wants to know the reason why this is all happening.

“Elton… why is he like that? Where is Lea?”

Shaking his head Elton didn’t give her any answer as what he just want is for her to get out. Hearing yet another call of Lea’s name would do Aiden no good.

It was their first time seeing him like that. as if the world fall to him and leaves him completely wrecked.

Soon Menandro came, leaving Sylphia and everyone with no other choice but to leave the room.

“Son”

He called. But as the usual he did not give any reply. Putting a basket with peeled fruits for him to eat right away, Aiden did not even dare give it even just a glimpse. He is like a different person. much worst than what he was before. Much worst than how Menandro think his son would do.

“You can’t be like that all the time , Aiden”

Hearing his name, he look at the scribble he had with the pen on his hand. Image of two person eating together. Just like what the two of them would look like in that self functioning shop they went at last time.

“I told them it was that damn Paul who did that, I saw it with my own two eyes, why won’t they listen to me?!”

Slightly slamming the table, Menandro can see the hate and anger in his son’s face. But no matter how much he wanted to ease his son’s anger, to carry the burden that he have, Menandro can do nothing but watch his son do so.

“What can we do, they have a great evidence to tell that they are not there when that thing happened…”

It is something that they have no control of. In the name of justice, the evidence they have is not enough. It is just the words of Aiden and no sort of concrete evidence to show the court.

“That can’t be… that just can’t be… he was there, he was with me, he was there with Lea. She was pulled away with his man and the only thing I know is that her dress was brought back and it was covered with…”

Shaking his head he dare not say any words about what he saw. As if saying those will just admit the fact that he was thinking she was dead already. Covering her head with his hands, Aiden murmured those words. Enough to break the heart of his dear father that was seeing him in that kind of state.

‘Aiden… my son…’

“Son, you have to keep moving forward. Things shall not stop here. how can you find out what truly did happen if you are in that state? Tell me? Can you prove to them who did that if you are just sitting here and doing nothing but letting yourself die?”

Looking at his son, it was hard for him to see Aiden be in that state. For as much as he wants, he does not wish to give him any more pain. Just by losing his mother made him have that steel of a heart. with Lea coming, he slowly opens up and started to act like any normal guy in his age. But then things like this came. As if the world was telling him that there is no way for him to be happy.

Menandro can’t help but be full of worries about his son’s condition. He can’t help but feel like, something like a curse was placed upon him. That no matter what he do, he can never see his son happy again.

‘Oh Claudia… just when I thought that our son is finally living a life… why did this have to happen? Why him of all? Is it not enough for the world to take you away from me? Why does it have to happen to him too?’

With a pain in his eyes, he watch Aiden. To his surprise, his son started to reach on the fruits that he brought. A watery substance can be seen forming on his eyes.

“I’ll go get you some water”

He said smiling at his son. That is the only thing he could do. that is the only thing that he can offer to him other than him time.

‘You need to keep moving forward Aiden, keep moving forward… that is all you can do right now… and Lea… no matter where you are, please be safe. Please… come back for my son…’

“Wow, you look nice in that dress. It is beautiful”

Smiling at Lea, her attention then land at Brylle.

“Who is she?”

She mumbled loud enough to let the man beside her hear.

“I saw her and she loss her memory. I will contact Lino, he is still in here right?”

“That is not what I was saying, what I mean is, why did you bring her with you? I am your bestfriend and I will surely with no doubt side you even if you try to defeat a lion with your bear hands but look at her, she doesn’t look like any ordinary person. What if you got yourself in some big problem? Do you think you can handle that? Brylle, mind me remind you okay? Even if that half brother of yours is supporting you, that doesn’t mean you have a great protection. Even paul can do nothing if someone bigger than him was behind all of this!”

Slightly pushing her away, Brylle just mumble.

“Sam shut it, and even if she was the daughter of the heaven, I care no less. Isn’t she beautiful? Just like a real natural beauty”

A small smile crept on his face as he look at Lea standing from afar, wearing clothes that Sam choose for her.

“You are a big damn idiot Brylle, idiot”

But instead of being annoyed, Brylle just smile at her as his eyes sparkles looking at Lea. As if he was looking at some piece of art. As if… his very mind was covered with the thoughts of that very lady in front of them

‘What a beauty… what a beauty…’
