AIDEN'S POV:

"Oh god! I thought I told you to take rest for a day at least Mr. Husband, but I should've expected to see you working on your laptop even in your day off." My little wifey started speaking as soon as she entered the room and I hurriedly placed my laptop aside as I don't want to make her angry. Well ever since I've started working on this project, I've got no time to look after my hunger or sleep. I haven't even got chance to look after her. But she's been taking care of me more like my mom than my wife.

I've seen her getting angry these days not because I am not being able to give time to her but because she says I don't care for myself. Well her anger is more like a five year old's, which just melts away with a single kiss. I'm indeed blessed to have such a wife who comes up to me with a cup of coffee every hour and helps me with everything. Once that I get myself free after the project, I'll take her away with me to spend some time with her in peace, away from every stress and responsibilities.

"I knew you wouldn't have anything till now. You're so careless Aiden. How will you get strength to work if you don't look after your food and rest?......" She kept on scolding me like a kid until she was done feeding me. She stared at me for a minute and left the room shaking her head helplessly. My eyes were tired with continuous work so I laid on bed on my stomach with my eyes closed.

"Are you asleep?" I shook my head in a no with my eyes still closed and the next moment, I felt her snuggling close to me with her head rested on my back while her hands wrapped around my waist. Ahh! I missed her warmth and now that she's this close to me, I feel so powerless to even turn around and hug her.

"Goodnight hubby." She kissed on my shoulder. I pulled her hand from my waist and kissed on it before sleep drifted over me. We don't speak much these days, we don't get time for each other as much as we used to and that's the reason we're surrounded with silence almost all the time. But this silence holds much more comfort, love and care for each other which even fails to be expressed with words sometimes.

Henry was busy on his laptop when his phone beeped with a text message.

"I got to know that you wanted to talk to me."

Without waiting for a minute, he dialled the number and the person picked the call in the very first ring.

"How did the great Jonathan Atkinson wanted to call me today? I guess he was busy on being a hardworking businessman these days." The other person said mocking him which was increasing Henry's rage.

"Yeah this guy is busy on being a hardworking businessman here and I guess that's what made you forget who I am." His words were like icy daggers which immediately made the person on the other side shut his mouth cause he knew playing with fire would be foolishness.

"Better. Now listen to me carefully. I want you to work for me again and I'm warning you, don't you dare to go against my words and try to harm her, you'll work on my orders you get that?"

"Okay but what will I get in return?"

"What makes you happy, money."

"As much as I've known, you've invested almost half of your property for the project you're working on right now."

"So what difference does that make to you? That's none of your business."

"No it's just that..."

"I don't like repeating myself again and again so don't forget whom you're talking with. Just follow my orders and fill up your filthy mouth with the money I'll transfer to you."

Henry cut the call and rested his back on his rocking chair with his eyes closed. But he flashed opened his eyes and walked inside his secret room in his office after getting through the security system. There was a board hanging on a corner of the room with a bulb fitted just over the board. The board had three photographs pinned over it. He looked at the first photograph and started talking to it like the photograph could hear everything.

"Its just you who's responsible for everything. And now, you'll get to pay for coming into my way along with your family."

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

At the other side, the person who just talked with Henry threw himself on the comfy bed with his head rested over his hands.

"Jonathan Atkinson, I know who you are. But I guess you don't know what I've become now. You want me to work for you as per your orders, but you don't know what type of opportunity you've given to me. I was just searching for a way to get back to form and see, you gave me a reason by your own. Now you'll see that this man isn't your pawn. I'll definitely fulfil the motive I've come with."
