After all the discussion on the new project, everything was finally settled.
Arien could return home.
Devian was waiting in his Porsche outside the office but she didn’t arrived.
Rather Jane approached Devian’s car rushing.
Just as Dean had opened the window Jane spoke “Director Lyle. Some people took Arien along with them.”
“Miss Robinson, could you please tell me some specific things you’ve noticed.” Devian thought who could it be.
“They were…. They wore black suits just like the ones your guard wear. And they came in a luxury car.” Jane was panting.
“Black suit and luxury car?” Devian figured out who it was.
“Yes and they even said they didn’t wanted any harm.” Jane added.
“Okay, rest assured. She’ll be all right.” Devian said to Jane and then “old mansion.” He said to Dean.
“Yes director” and the car sped up leaving Jane still confused.
“Is there any problem with Mr Lyle. Shouldn’t he search for her?” Jane thought.
…
In the old mansion of Ace family.
Arien was sitting in a big hall, bigger than the Lyle mansion, and in front of her sat old master Lyle.
“Miss Jenner, I don’t mean any harm. I only ask for your cooperation.” He said.
“Grandpa, you can ask anything but what you’re asking me is something beyond impossible.” Arien was calm.
“Miss Jenner, if you still don’t leave him, what about his future?” Old master added.
“Even if I am not so capable of handling business, I would still be with him and help him.” Arien said. “Even if his company falls and he runs out of wealth, we would build new empire.” She smiled and added.
“If you ….” Old Mr Lyle spoke again but Arien cut off his words.
“Old master Lyle. I hope you could accept and approve your grandson’s decision.” She got up intending to go.
But she was blocked by the guards.
“If that’s the case and negotiation in not an option anymore, then why not miss Jenner prove her capabilities by actions?” Old Mr Lyle spoke from behind.
“Huh!” Arien was stunned for a while when she received a blow from one of the guard but she quickly reacted and fought back.
This is too cruel!! How could he ask the guards to beat her!!!!!! Omg.!!!!
Arien wasn’t a weak fragile girl. She knew many martial arts and thus she made her moves quickly.
Both the parties, specially Arien was out of her strength when Devian arrived in the mansion.
He looked at Arien and his eyes didn’t move until he reached to hold her in his arms.
“Huh…” Old Mr Lyle laughed but it was a cold smirk. “Your women is indeed strong. Impressive.”
“If that’s all, I’ll take her back” Devian picked up the drained Arien and walked out without turning back.
Devian could hear him shouting from back. “I won’t live together with her! You’ll have to marry Young miss of the Hayes family, Susan Hayes.”
When they reached back to Lyle Mansion, mama Lyle grandma, and Julien saw them coming.
Seeing Arien in his arms they became worried.
“What happen to Arien?” Grandma asked.
“Nothing much. I’ll take her up first.” Devian said but the three women didn’t let him take Arien with him.
“We’ll take care of sister-in-law.” Julien spoke.
“Sister, she’s just tired. A good rest will help her recover soon.” And then only did the three of them let him take Arien to his room.
“Hasn’t he really changed after Arien came into his life?” Mama Lyle spoke.
“Didn’t I told you in the phone that he has changed. You were not believing me. Now see it yourself.” Julien made a face.
Old Mrs Lyle interrupted their conversation saying, “It’s really good that my only grandson is so considerate of his wife. Just like his grandfather.”
“Grandma!” Julien knew that once her grandma starts speaking about their relationship, it would never end thus she didn’t let her speak any further.
…
In the room.
Devian put her on the bed and sat beside her with a gloomy face.
“Devian, I’m okay.” Arien weakly held his hand.
“Why did you listen to them and went along?” He asked.
Arien made a puppy face saying, “I won’t do that again. Now don’t act so cold”
“I’m not acting cold.” Devian cupped her face. “Promise me, next time whatever happens, you’ll think about saving yourself first.”
“Okay Mr Lyle, now I’m hungry, let’s go down and eat with others.” Arien patted her belly.
“Okay. Go freshen up”
Old Mr Lyle didn’t came back to Lyle Mansion and there were Devian, Arien and all three women.
After dinner, old Mrs Lyle asked Devian to stay for a chat while all the others went to their rooms.
“What has happened again between you and your grandfather?” Old Mrs Lyle was well aware what her husband’s thinking were.
“Nothing much grandma. Rest assured.” Devian said.
“Does Leo not want to share with grandma?” Old Mrs Lyle knew well how to persuade her cold grandson.
“He asked Arien to come to Old Ace mansion along with his guard and made her fight them.” Devian said everything.
“That’s too cruel!” Old Mrs Lyle was angered. “Let him come. I’ll talk. And take care of her.” She added.
“Yes grandma.” Devian nodded and got up to walk back.
“If you please, go and live in the Loveland apartment. Ask her if she wants to go.” Grandma insisted.
“I’ll ask her first, if she wants I’ll take her there.” Devian spoke and walked out.
Back in the room Arien was putting medicine on her bruises.
Devian entered and took the medication from her and started applying it on her without speaking a word.
“Is he still angry?” Arien thought. “Mr Lyle?” She called out.
“Quiet” he commanded
After he had carefully applied the medicine on her, he looked up, finally.
“Why is it like this between you and grandpa?” Arien’s curiosity didn’t let her be quiet for long.
“He… Just want me to marry miss Hayes.” Devian told the truth.
“Oh… And if you don’t your relationship with him will be ruined” Arien gave a bitter smile.
“Arien” his magnetic voice interrupted Arien.
“Let’s not ever bring divorce between our relationship.” He spoke.
“Huh?” Arien was a bit shocked then, “I promise” she spoke. Her bitter smile changed to a sweet one.
“And… let’s move out. If we don’t grandpa won’t come here.” He added.
“Noo! They have come here to see me. How can I not make them happy and just move out? Moreover, I still have to win grandpa’s heart and make him believe that I’m a good candidate for being ‘Mrs Lyle’.” She retorted.
