Feather After// Chapter 67 // Love And Other Drugs

Aria's POV

I crumbled, I felt numb, unhappy, cheated on and what not. I took the piece of paper and sat down on the floor and looked at it again, maybe I had heard the wrong thing; maybe what I had heard wasn't what it was supposed to mean.

I didn't even care if someone found me, I didn't care if Ignatius came back looking for me and It would have been it. I didn't understand this, why was everyone playing games with me? I really wanted to end this all, all of the wound have taken from my side was some courage to just end it all, to end my life.

I re-read the whole document and again and again. I could feel my tears flowing down my cheek and I sobbed. I didn't know how this was all going to end.

This document certifies that after the legal marriage ceremony of Aria Everly Rhett, daughter of Adam Cohan Rhett and Zachariah Addalynn Albason, son of Christopher Demitri Albason a new empire will be formed, Rhett Albason private limited, will form a new company which will be owned by both parties owning fifty-fifty percent of the profit or loss. The Albasson Corporation Private Limited will sell four percent of the company's shares and transfer the money to Rhett Enterprises. The Rhett Enterprises owner will give two properties to the Albasson Corporation Private Limited. The two properties are, The Blue Lake Old Age Home and Seattle's Animal Centre which will later serve as the warehouse of the new business formed. Any failure of the fulfillment of the above-mentioned terms and conditions will result in the nullification of the deal.

I had questioned my self before, I knew Zachariah was getting something out of this but I didn't know what he was getting out of this until today, he was not getting anything out of the deal but he was getting everything from this deal. He was getting two of the largest estates in Seattle from the deal. And I was pretty sure they were worth more than ten million dollars.

God, how selfish could someone be? He was willing to let go of everything, he was going to throw so many old people out on the street just for some god damn money. From the first day I knew something was wrong, he was so very nice, too nice to be real. I wish I knew this from the starting.

I cried more when I saw my mother's and Zachariah's sign at the end of the document, why was my mom so inhuman? Couldn't she see anyone else pain except hers? She was ready to and in the future was going to abandon so many dogs and other animals or probably they were going to put to sleep.

God, I couldn't even do anything about it. All I could do was to sit in that damn room and cry, why was all this happening to me? I could feel my heart beating faster. I had trouble breathing and I felt pain all over my body, bone-crushing pain in my body and I felt dizzy.

I picked up the document and kept it in place, someone could come here anytime and I didn't want to be caught. I didn't want to be seen as a weak pathetic person because I was anything but weak, I was anything but pathetic. I could do something about it; I had to do something about it.

I realized one thing about human beings. No matter how intellectually and scientifically we were developed, we were nothing but animals, greedy and selfish animals who would do anything just for their benefit and I refused to be that. I refused to just sit back and see so many people suffer just because my fiancé and mother were selfish.

I wiped my tears and closed my eyes, I had to do something about it, I had to do something. I took a deep breath and before I could leave I felt someone open the room. I kept the document on the table on which it was initially kept and I rushed towards the washroom.

I hid inside the washroom and shut the door, hopefully, whoever was entering the room, he didn't want to use the washroom otherwise, it would have become a little problematic. I wiped my cheeks and blew some air out. I was going to be okay, my heart was beating so fast, it made me feel otherwise.
