I Need You

19. Unveiling the truth

AARON'S POV:

BEFORE THE PARTY:

"What is she doing?" this is the nth time I am calling Stephen to ask about her. Once she was sleeping. Once she was watching a movie. Once she was in the garden and once she was facetiming her parents. It's good to see her happy

I don't know why but I have a feel that today is going to be a tough day. I have a weird feeling inside me.

Today Danny said that he wants to speak to me. He is still in the basement. I have to know who is behind all this. Danny has no ill intentions for Mia. If he had any he would have killed her the day he kidnapped her.

He tried to make a deal with someone. We don't know who. Everytime that person called Danny he used a different number. And some parts of the call recordings were missing. There might be someone to help him everywhere.

"I have been waiting for you all day. You shouldn't make a person wait soo much for you Aaron" I let his hands free so that he can talk. All these days his hands cuffed. " Is my sweetheart doing good?" He asks about Mia.

His attitude is getting on to my nerves. If he keeps speaking like this I will kill him. "She's fine." I say sitting in the chair opposite to him "So you said you wanted to speak something to me. What is it?"

"Mmm to start let's speak about Emily first. Ahh you've got 2 Sweethearts in your house one as a sister and the other as your girlfriend I guess." he drags the Sweetheart soo much. He knows how to piss me.

"Okay to get straight to the point, I have been hired by a man to kidnap Mia and kill her. But I couldn't. She is innocent and she doesn't deserve to die. Loving you was the only mistake she did" he says the last word loud that it reaches my heart.

"Why?" I open my mouth to ask him. But the sound is too low. He chuckles at that.

"Why are the Blaine siblings after the Summer siblings. Actually it wasn't our plan to kill Aiden. We went there only to kill Emily. I had to stay in the car and watch for others. But I missed Aiden. I don't know when he passed me but he himself got into trouble. And this time it wouldn't help us in any way of we kill you. The only way to make youbweak is to kill her." he finishes of and looks around the room.

"I'll ask you few questions and just tell answers to them." I say these words out loud. But my voice is breaking.

"Aaron this is not your game. The ball is in my court" he knows that he is the only person who can tell me who the killer is and why is he doing this.

"Please Danny. I need the answers" I ask him pleadingly. I can't let Mia hurt one more time.

"Okay okay just ask me. Who thinks the thuogh and rude Aaron can be soft to his girl. Just ask me" he says.

"Just tell who and why? And who are helping him? He surely got someone to help in the hospital and in the police department. " I ask looking at him. His expression is neutral. He maintains this expression always every time. So we don't know what exactly he is thinking.

"Emily because she loved Aiden and Mia because she loves you soo much. You are the one she was thinking about when she was kidnapped. Her last wish was to know why I was killing her and she wanted to see you. I made a promise to her that I'll never hurt you. "

I know she doesn't want me to be hurt or broken. But at what cost. Is she going to give her life for that.

"She knows half the reason Aaron. She knows why Emily had been attacked and I think that's the reason why she is distancing herself from you." these words should make me happy. Knowing that she loves me soo much should make happy. But why are they hurting me.

"And who?" I ask him my voice almost breaking.

"The one person your father trusted the most. The one person who your father thought as his real friend, the one who has always been by his side and the one who knows everything about you and your father. He poisoned your father." The one person that dad trust the most is uncle Austin, but I don't think he is the one. Are there any friends of dad that I don't know that exist.

"Your father used to order food from outside. It was easy for us to mix slow poison in it. And sometimes even Mia did that. She got some doses of the drug in her."

"And poor Dylan. He didn't know that there is a bug in his phone. It made it easy for us to track Mia. And there is no one in the police to help the killer. He himself was a high ranked cop back then. I think he is in disguise and can still get the inside information without getting caught." this connects all the missing pieces of the puzzle.

It is Uncle Austin. Mia's father. Why would he kill his own son and act like he is worried. How can he try to kill his daughter. I don't want to listen to anymore.

"Aaron kill that bastard as soon as possible. And only then release me form here. I had nothing to do but follow his orders. Orelse he would have killed my wife." he says when I almost reach the door.

"If possible get her here. I want to see her." I nod and go back. All the words he told me are very shocking. How can a father be like this. And she is danger for loving me. I have to do everything to save her.

I meet her friends outside. They are going to have a party. I asked them to use the party room and the garden backside. I can't risk Mia's life by sending them outside. She is looking so good in black. I know she is looking at me. But I don't want her to see the pain in my eyes. I told them that everything is ready and I went into my study.

I am so disturbed with his words and the person who I treated like my second father actually tried to kill my sister and then his own daughter to make me weak.

After a few minutes I can sense her presence beside me. Her fragrance hits my nostrils. But I don't look at her. She slowly pulls my head which is in my palms towards her. She is looking beautiful with her light makeup and her hair.

"Aaron what is wrong" she asks me with a worried tone and expression.

THE PROBLEM IS I LOVE YOU AND YOU LOVE ME. BUT WE CAN'T STAY TOGETHER. BEACUSE YOUR FATHER IS TRYING TO KILL YOU BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME. HE TRIED TO KILL EMILY BECAUSE SHE LOVED AIDEN. And why am I angry at her. She doesn't have anything to do with it.

"Have I ever asked you that? Just leave Mia. I want to stay alone".

She leaves after a few minutes.

She texts me that she needs help with her drunk friends and asked me for permission to allow them stay here. I sent my men to help her.

Later in the morning I asked Emma to wake her and tell her to come to training area.

I am punching the sand bag so hard to get the anger down my system. Bit every punch is just increasing it. Today I will teach her to shoot. When she came I asked her to pick a gun. But her all black dress is not helping me maintain my self control. I try soo hard to look away but I can't.

When she looks at me I just turn away. I stand in my position and show her how to do it. But she looks blank. Her angle is not correct. So I go to her and aim her hand to the target.

Her hands are following my hand. My other hand is just around her. Everything is happening automatically. When I make her shoot the whole magazine, I look down, I look at her bruises.

I don't know what got into me, but I suddenly started kissing her neck and she allowed me to do that. When I finally stop, she turns to me and looks into my eyes. Her blue eyes are so perfect. They are like magnets and they draw me to them. She leans closer to kiss me. But I move back.

She knows that her life is at risk but she is ready to give herself to me. When she thought that they would kill me she stayed away. But now she knows they ain't  kill me. Not even hurt me. And she  is giving herself to me.

"This is not happening. This is not going to work. We are not happening" I say these words. I know they will hurt her. But I am hurt saying these words. I want her but, I don't deserve her. She shouldn't be the one to sacrifice. I should solve all these and then take her.

I leave her there alone. I asked one of her friends to help her. But I left her alone. Alone at heart.
