HELENA'S POV:

My eyes were still closed but I knew it wasn't Aiden. I couldn't get that feeling of security with that touch, in fact I was feeling uneasy with that touch. I opened my eyes to see a pair of grey eyes intensely staring at me while his cold hands were on my bare back. I moved a little so that I could get away but he wasn't moving even a bit making it impossible for me to get out of his grip. "Excuse me." Annoyed with his continuous gaze, I spoke up as I felt he's not trying to move away.

Thankfully he pulled away after what I said and I set my dress which was ruffled at the bottom. "Thank you." Without waiting for his response, I walked out from there towards Aiden who was between the group of businessmen but was looking around as if he's searching for someone. Just as his eyes met with mine, he took a deep breath of relief and a smile appeared on my face. He excused himself and walked towards me with a glass of wine.

"You nearly gave me a heart attack wifey." He said while sipping wine from his glass.

"Why so?" I asked getting confused with his words.

"I was looking out for you since a long time but you were nowhere to be found. Don't do that again, okay?"

The way he warned me was too cute and sweet to not melt anyone's heart. I nodded smiling at him and was about to say something when a voice came from behind us.

"I'm sorry to disturb you guys but I thought of saying a hello." As I turned around, I saw him. The same guy with grey eyes, who had saved me from falling down, the same guy who was staring at me. In fact, he's still staring at me.

"Excuse me, Do I know you?" Asked Aiden and I could feel extra rudeness in his voice when he spoke.

"Hello Mr. Aiden Rudolf. Yeah I guess you know me. People know me as Henry Mathews." Henry Mathews? Ahh! The same Henry Mathews who's supposed to collaborate with us?

"Henry Mathews, Mathews and Co." He smiled while giving a proper introduction with his had forwarded towards Aiden for a handshake. Aiden stared at his hand for few seconds before giving his hand for a handshake. "I'm so sorry that I couldn't meet you that day on Paris. Something really urgent had come up in front of me that needed me or else I wouldn't have disappointed you." Aiden nodded at him giving a light smile but as much as I know him, that smile isn't a genuine smile but that's definitely a forced smile.

Before any one of them could speak anything else, our other business partners and associates joined them in discussion. I excused myself and walked into a corner while taking a glass of wine but my eyes were fixed on him all the time. He was looking pissed and irritated, and he was sipping wine all the time without talking much.

After about an hour, my phone beeped with a text, and it was from Aiden. "Meet me at parking within five minutes." As I raised my eyes to see towards him, he nodded at me and turned back to the business associates. Without waiting for anything else, I got back to parking area and he got back within few minutes.

As soon as he got inside the car, he banged his hand on the steering making my heart skip a beat while his hand turned red. "What are you doing? Look at your hand." I hurriedly took his hand on mine and started rubbing it. This was the first time I ever saw him losing his temper. I didn't know how to calm him down, I didn't know the reason behind his anger to say some words to calm him down. All that came into my mind was that I need to calm him down and at that time, I used the only way I thought was possible. I moved closer to him and cupped his face and sealed his lips with mine. He was kissing me back with all the anger and frustration he had in his heart. He was biting my lips which caused my lips to bleed.

AIDEN'S POV:

I suddenly came back to senses when I felt something on my lips while kissing her. I felt ashamed on myself when I saw that her lips were bleeding because of my bite. "I.. I'm sorry wifey. I'm so sorry that..."

Before I could speak anything, she pulled me closer and started kissing me again. I kissed her back, sucking all the blood oozing out from her lips, caressing her swollen lips with mine. When we both were out of breath, we pulled out while our foreheads resting with each other's.

"Aiden, what's the matter? Why are you so angry?" She asked while caressing my hair. "Something was bothering me. Thank you wifey, you're the best." She pulled my cheeks before I started driving car back to home.

"Wifey, will you be always there with me?"

"Always." That smile and honesty in her eyes lightened my mood.

I didn't tell her anything but the thing which was bothering me was Henry Mathews. I didn't fail to notice the way he was gazing at Helena and honestly I didn't like it at all. That added another reason to my list making me not sure about doing business with him but guess what? We're going to do business together as decided on the small meeting that happened between our business associates right away at the party. I don't know if I'm overthinking or not but I need to careful around him with Helena. I won't let anyone come in between is, I won't let our love get weak to let anyone come in between us.
