Love Trap (Slow Updates)

Seventy One.

Aria's pov;

What I'm doing right now, is a life or death situation. I am risking my own life saying those words to somebody who has been working with Stone for many more years than even Brandon and I might be making the biggest mistake of my life. But it's worth it. For Harry. Even if I'll never be his and he'll never be mine, it's worth it.

"An alliance?" He raised a brow at me.

"I know this sounds insane, but..." I take a deep breath and put my brave face on. "I think I can win. I think I can get justice for all the harm Stone has caused. I think you know about Rachel, or dare I say Emily. It's only one of the cruel and insane things he has done. I know he intimidates people and threatens them to work for him, tell me, haven't there been times he has done that to you too?"

"Well..  There have. I'm working to keep my family alive" He said.

"And I'm sure they wouldn't want to lose a loving father either. Listen to me Rowland. Please. If you help me, I will make sure to find you a better job, one that will make you truly happy. I know it's a huge risk and you might even tell this to Josh, but I need people to be with me so that I can make this work" I said.

"You're brave, Aria. To think this way and want so much to do something to change the awful situation we all work under, you are brave. But how could you possibly win?" He asked.

"I have people close to me that will help me. I have connections to the police, I can make it work if I get your help. I just need evidence, enough for people to believe me. Witnesses. You can be one of them. Once we win, you will be happy with your family and you won't live with fear anymore" I said, the spark of hope in me begging to be kept alive.

"Stone trusts me. He often asks me for advice. I think I can help" He nodded. "But we have to be really careful"

"Are you being serious? Oh my god, Rowland. You don't know how much this means to me" I said, letting out a sigh of relief. "I am very aware this is dangerous, but Brandon is on my side too. He said he knows who wants out in the enterprise. We can get people, create our own little alliance"

"Does Harry know? Louis?" He asked.

"They don't. I rather not put them in more danger than they already are in" I said.

"Okay. Whenever you need something from me, just tell me" He said.

"Thank you" I thanked him, deeply grateful that he accepted to work on this plan with me.

I surely haven't thought over how I want this plan of mine to be and I need to start it soon. As soon as I am done with my final project for college tonight, I will send it to my teacher and start scheming. This insane world these people live in needs to become normal and be brought to an end.

The deadline for our project was until the end of the week and I was glad I had enough footage for it. Harry and I have been going to so many different places, Australia, England, Los Angeles, that I have had the opportunity to create a beautiful portfolio for my final project. I just hope the day of my graduation comes fast, because all I want is to start building my own company with Daniel. Speaking of, I haven't seen him in a while, because I couldn't go to class since I am injured. He knows I was injured but not how.

He deserves a decent explanation when everything is over, because I have confused him way too much. I am glad I have him close to me and that I have found a really good friend in him after all, but I can't deal with being away from Jesy and Jayleen. Although, I can't even dare to look at them in the eyes now that they know the truth about me being away for so long, I miss them and I wish they could forgive me, because they don't know the whole story.
