120. Setting priorities

"But that doesn't mean he can betray me. I was the one who gave him opportunity to earn and feed" Aaron hissed as he remembered how easy going he was with him. Adam was the only one Haron who had witnessed his soft side. Or else Aaron was hard and not easy going person. He was a ruthless man with no heart but a stone placed in his heart.

Maria sighed, "he remembers all your doings. He appreciate all your strength, support and trust, but he was forced. Please try to understand from his perspective too" she says in a requesting tone to which Aaron couldn't help but stare at her. He felt bad and broken for Adam. The poor fellow was being grinding between him and his mother.

"I know what its felt when you don't get your mother's affection" Haron mumbled as he stares at a particular spot. His own wounds were very sensitive and still fresh. Even after 19 years.

Aaron looked at him and sighed. "We all are sailing in same boat but with different stories" he said in his most gruffy voice. Shoving his hands in his pockets he leaned back on the wall staring a particular thing and thought ways to get out of this situation and end his enemies who dared to lay eyes on what was his and meant to be his.

"Adam must be aware of your kidnappings" Aaron said making Maria nod in approval. "Yes, may be he will ask help from his mother" she says shrugging making Aaron frown. "He is a 30-year-old man who can't take a stand for himself. He us just brainwashed!" He exclaimed with anger.

Maria sighed. "Yes, he is. Just give me an opportunity I will make sure to get him back to the righteous path just once" she says making him nod in no.

"Its not that easy Maria. He is on the edge now. He can do anything for his mother" Haron says making Aaron nod in approval.

"Its not easy, neither he will prioritise you this much." Aaron says making Maria frown. She turned pale hearing the cruel reality. Tears polled into her eyes.

"Do say this" she managed to say in between her tears. The two men rolled their eyes and walked out. "This women and their tears" Haron comments making Aaron nod. "I can understand her tears, its not accept the harsh true that the person you love the most, doesn't priorities you the same way" Aaron whispered as he walked out.

Haron followed him towards his study. "How is Sarah?" He enquired not having a mood to visit her. He knew she was angry with him what he did to Adah.

"She is upstairs, might be angry and worried" Aaron says hissing rubbing his forehead with his two fingers. Meanwhile the maid knocks the door gaining their attention.

"Boss madame had her breakfast. She was asking for someone to stay with her in the room" says the young maid making him nod. "That's not required, just make sure she has her meals on time. Make sure you check her meals twice before serving her" he commands making her nod in yes. "Was she crying?" He asked making her nod in yes. He sighed and rubbed his forehead. "You can leave" he says in a small voice. Digging into his paperwork, he tried to avoid the mess was going on in his life. "I am going back to my Island, I need to make sure my wife is safe and sound" Haron says making Aaron nod in yes. "Inform me, whatever news to get regarding PETER LOPEZ" he commands.

"What about Maria? Are you going to release her anytime soon?" He asked doubting him. "And what makes you say that? I will not relise her anytime soon until he comes here and begs me to free her. He has to choose one his mother or his love" Aaron says smirking.

"You are purposely making him do this!? Don't you?" Haron says narrowing his eyes at Aaron. Aaron let out a chuckle and winked at him. "That's just the starting bro" he smirks and Harin shakes his head with a knowing smile. While here Sarah was watching a documentary, turning off the lights. The room was dark. She flinched numerous times getting scared as she feeling someone was under her bed. She flinched feeling a crawling on her feet. Turning on the lights she removed the duvet with a loud beating heart. Finding a small spider crawling on her feet. She flinched and got scared. Yelling loudly. She moved back.

Her back hits a hard chest. A strong arm sneaked around her waist. She flinched another time feeling his hot breath on her neck. "Aaron" she mumbled fidgeting her fingers.

"Yes baby" he groaned mumbling kissing her earlobe. "Aaron please hide the spider" she hides herself in his chest. He chuckled making her pout. "Its just a small spider" he says cooing her.

"But it ewwww" she whines rubbing her nose on his chest. To which he groaned more. "Don't" he says in his gruffy voice making a chill ran down her spine. "Aaron, don't scold me. I am carrying your child. Your baby is angry with you" she says pouting more.

"Is it so?" He asked cupping her cheek. "Yes" she says softly pouting. He smiles cupping her cheeks and pecking her pout. He lifted her up in his arms. "Is my baby scared? Angry with me? Common on say yes or no?" He asked cupping her abdomen. She giggled feeling ticklish around her body. "Aaron its tickling!" She giggled making him smile. He kissed her abdomen and rosed up. Meeting her eyes, he again cupped her cheeks. "Take rest, i will ask the maid to help you" she nodded and asked, "where are you going?"

"I am not going anywhere, just busy with work. Have to arrange some somethings" he says making her nod.

"Alright, just be safe" she says hugging him.
