In a VIP ward on the top most floor of hospital:

"I am... I am ready Mr. Aiden."

"For.... For what? I didn't understand Helena."

"I am ready to... marry with.. you." Helena's head was hung low while saying it to Aiden who stood up from the bench out of shock with his mouth hung open.

"What... what did you say? Say that again?" Not being able to believe upon what she said, he asked walking closer to her. "I am ready to marry with you." She said in a go while her eyes glued on the designer marble set on the floor.

"What? Really? Oh my god!" His heart was pacing in the speed of metro train to which he could feel on his palm which he was placing on his chest to calm it down while his beautiful lips stretched ears to ears. But then a thought crossed his mind and all his happiness and smile faded away.

"But why did you agree to marry me so suddenly? Why? Did someone... force you?" Only Aiden knows how hard was it for Aiden to speak out the last sentence and he was expecting a "No" for the answer.

"I am not forced, I just couldn't deny to the request." Aiden was disheartened. He always wanted to get married to Helena and had even dreamt of having family with her but he wanted to marry her when she starts feeling for him. He wanted to start fresh with her, he wanted her to be happy with him. "Helena, don't do this. I don't want you to get forced for anything."

Helena was surprised with his words but she had no other option right now. "I am okay with it. Don't feel bad for me, I have agreed on my own for it." Aiden didn't know what to do, he was happy that she said yes to get married with him which has always been his dream but he knows she's not prepared for it and that is why he wanted to give space to her. But now she's determined for it.

'She's forced, this is wrong. She should be happy and satisfied with her life. You should do something.' His brain alerted him but the very next second, his heart started dominating. 'She's ready to get married with you. Just marry her, she'll be with you. She'll get better chance to understand you, spend time with you which you can't do with her now. She's sad and she needs to be pushed so that she'll get out of past and start living in her present. Show that you love her, make her feel for you. She'll be able to share her pain with you one day if you keep on pushing her. You love her, so make her love herself.'

"Mr. Aiden." Helena's voice brought him out of his thoughts and he nodded at her subconsciously. "I am ready but... I have some conditions." Aiden became alerted after hearing her words and a cold wind blew on his heart. "Wh.. What are those conditions?" He asked hesitating.

"I will fulfil all the responsibility of a daughter in law and every relationship I'll have after the wedding. But, I.. I am not sure if I'll be able to become a.. wife." Aiden felt bitter when she said those words but he knew she's not ready. He knew she needs time and he as all ready to give that time to her. He promised to himself that he'll always keep her happy and give all the love and respect a wife deserves.

"I know, I can understand. Anything else?" He didn't fail to maintain the charismatic smile on his face while asking her. "I... I want to keep this things only between our families and close friends. I.. don't want any one else to know about it. That is why, I want a simple wedding." Aiden's smile faded away but he managed to part his lips again. How badly he wanted to scream and shout in front of the world and tell everyone that she belongs to him. But he had to respect her decision. He nodded at her but there was a hope in his heart, that someday he'll be able to flaunt his wife and show that he loves his wife with all his heart to the world.

"I will continue my job as the legal advisor in the company and will earn everything on my own. I won't be treated special because of the wedding." Aiden always knew she was a girl with pride and when she said these words, the respect for her increased even more in his heart.

"I'll pay for everything you've done for us, be it the trip you sponsored back then or..." before Helena could complete the sentence, Aiden placed his finger on her lips. "I agreed to all your conditions earlier cause I respect your decision and pride. But I'm not going to agree for this one. You're my family, since the day G and mom welcomed you open heartedly. And I never take money from my family for what I do for them."

"But.."

"No if no but Ms. Parker. That's clear and no more discussion on it." Helena went all silent and Aiden realized that his finger was still on her lips so he pulled his hand back. "Anything else?" Helena seemed to be nervous on his question and Aiden could clearly read it on her eyes. "Say it out Ms. Parker."

"This is my last condition. And that is..."
