AIDEN'S POV:

"Did you hear what you said by yourself?" I was burning in rage and my body was trembling due to anger when mom came running to me and hugged me while asking the question. Did I hear what I said? Did I really said it aloud? Did I say I love her? Did I really said that? My body went numb when I realized what I said in front of everyone. I gathered some courage to look around to the people in the room to find them looking at me in awe. And at last I looked at the floor where Liam was giving a mocking smile to me while Diana was trying to stop his nose bleed.

"I knew that you loved her and you finally accepted it today." G walked towards me and patted on my shoulder before continuing, "I know you must have tried to stay away from her as much as you could and even tried to deny your own feelings but my child, feelings cannot be denied forever. I could see the way your eyes sparkle when you'd see her, I could see the happiness you'd feel around her and I knew she's the one for you."

With every words she spoke, my heart was thumping aloud, was it so obvious that everyone could see how I feel about her? "Look how hard I had to work so that this dumbhead would realize his feelings. And now if you say you didn't mean it, I swear I'll make sure you bleed thrice more than I did cause I know that's not true." Liam came walking towards me and said while lightly punching me on my chest.

"That means... you did it..."

"Yes, he did it intentionally. He provoked you intentionally so that you'll speak what's in your heart. Or else why would Liam out of nowhere speak bad about Helena? She's such a sweet and bubbly girl and everyone in this family loves her including you my dear Aidi." Diana spoke before I could even complete my question leaving me totally dumbfounded.

"I'm happy that you finally found the one for you Aiden." Mom was happy about it and was rubbing my cheeks with love filled in her hand but I was getting nervous. I tried for hundreds of time to deny my feelings, I tried for hundreds of times to stay away from her cause I know I don't deserve it. I don't deserve anyone in my life let alone her, who's so special and who deserves all the love. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect her the way I should, I'm afraid I won't be able to love her the way I should. I'm afraid I'll be the biggest mistake of her life and I'm afraid, I'll break every dreams she has from her partner. I have my own wound to heal, I have my own fear to overcome and I'm scared that my fear and wound wouldn't let me love her the way I want to.

"But mom, you know I won't be able to..."

"You will be able to love her, you will be able to protect her and treat her like a queen cause she deserves it. I know you've got your own fears and wounds and so does she." Mom spoke out against every fear I had in my heart even before I said it and I guess that's what is mother like, who understands her child like no one does. But what does she mean? What pain and wounds does she have? That day on lift where she was crying over a photo on her phone flashed on my mind. Was my guess right? Does she have... any kind of past?

"Mom, do you think I'll be able to keep her away from my sorrows and give her the happiness she deserves?" I, being unsure about my own strength asked to mom so that she would help me with my dilemma. "Do you love her?" I would've said no to her question if It was before but right now, there's no meaning of it. I lover her no matter what and everyone knows about it already.

"Yes I do mom. I do love her." I said looking straight into her eyes and she gave a beautiful smile to me. "That's all Aiden. You can never hurt the person you love and will always give your best to keep the person happy just the way you've been keeping all of us happy these many years. Love holds that power to fight against all the fears and I know you'll be able to heal yourself as well as her with your love." When mom talked about healing her, I wanted to ask her if she knows anything about her but then I thought of getting answers to my questions by myself. I'll find out the wound she's been hiding behind the mask of a strong woman.

"Aiden, don't over think. Your past, our past is gone forever. Don't let it hamper your present and your future that's waiting for you. We trust on you, we know how you are. You are Georgia's son and my grandson. So go for it, we are with you." This was the first time G talked about my past ever after that day and when she said she trusts on me, her words gave me strength. I looked around to see all my family looking at me with trust for me in their eyes and I felt so blessed to have them in my life.

Upon hearing noises from the hall, little Zayden came out from the room rubbing his eyes. "What are you all talking about? I was sleeping." My little champ said yawning making everyone laugh. "Your heroine is going to be your aunty soon." I said picking him up on my arms and his eyes widened. "That means, you'll marry my heroine just the way dad and mom did?" He asked looking at me and I nodded to him. "Wow, my hero and heroine will get married." As he clasped his hands in excitement, everyone looked at this adoring human on my arms.

"This calls for a family hug." Everyone joined for a hug as Diana called upon and that was the best feeling. "I'm sorry Liam." I said as soon as we broke the hug to which he said, "Bring Mrs. Rudolf soon and that would be your punishment." Which made everyone laugh. Wow, Mrs. Rudolf sounded so beautiful. But will she accept me? Will she understand my feelings and love me the way I do? Even if she doesn't, I'll love her. My love would be enough for both of us.
