And then we met again

Chapter 26

Aryaan's POV:

This lady was going to be the death of my one day. 

She was clearly not in a good mood. Why could she not tell me what happened? 

I dial Yulia's number and she picks up in an instant.

"Come to my office." I say.

I get up from my seat and start pacing back and forth. 

After what I learned about Ava yesterday. I would not be leaving her for a second. She was moving into my house and that was final. 

The audacity someone had to break her seal before I did, infuriated me more than anything ever has. I had noticed her changes when she was on my lap but was hoping for once my thought would be wrong. But it wasn't. 

And she hadn't even fucking told me anything about it since the time we had met again. 

Someone knocks on the door and I tell them to come in. 

"Sir, you asked for me?"

"Call up the people who have been assigned to look over my wife's house. Tell them to dose her and bring her to the matrix."

"Okay, sir." 

She walks towards the end of the office and calls the guys. 

I grab my coat and other belongings before waiting for Yulia's response. 

"I think you need to talk to them. Here's the phone." 

I raise an eyebrow before taking the phone from her hand. 

"What is going on?" 

"Boss, your wife needs help. We are not sure whether the dose will make her situation worse. It looks like she already went into stage 3."

"That is next to impossible! What makes you so sure of that? What are the symptoms? Get her to the matrix as fast as possible."

They oblige and a few seconds later a message pops up on my phone. It's an image of Ava. 

Hot rage runs through my body to see her in such a hopeless condition. 

If only she had fucking told me what was happening to her! This would have never even happened in the first place. 

"Yulia. I want you to come with me."

I sign off from my room with Yulia on my heels. 

"Call up Adele on the way. Tell her that her grandson needs more time off from work. I'm sure she will be enlightened. All of my work can be transferred over to her load. I'll just handle the elderins  work."

I put on my sunglasses as we step outside. My men are already waiting with the car and motorcade in suite. 

I start skimming an email till I reach it but realize Yulia is not next to me. 

Looking up I see her through the bold green pantsuit she's wearing walk towards her own car that's ready for her. 

No way was she leaving me right now. 

Striding over to her, I grab her wrist and walk towards my car. 

"I'm taking my car. I have other errands to do before I reach your place. Leave my hand." she hisses. 

"You are riding with me." I say with a stern voice. 

Her grey eyes level with my glare. 

"You said I would get my time. I know the situation but I want it now. Give me the work and I'll have it done before you reach."

The door opens and I grab her waist before shoving her inside with me on her tail. 

The second the door closes, the car takes off. 

"What the hell! Your people saw that! Stop the damn car, Aryaan. I'm getting the fuck off."

"You were the one not following orders. Be grateful I did not mess your outfit in the process." I seethe. 

Yulia's in the process of saying something but closes her mouth after my statement.

"What?" I say. 

Instead of answering she shows off her straight white teeth while laughing like a maniac. 

"You-" 

I start coughing and search for water but there isn't any. Only liquor which I wasn't having this early. 

In my state, Yulia continues to laugh but in the process retrieves a glass vial.

"Drink it. It's the only water I have." she says while smiling. 

Who the fuck keeps water in a glass vial?

Preferring to not die of lack of air, I pop it open and empty the content into my mouth.
