Not long after Aisha sleeps, the door opens and Aeron immediately saw Aisha sleeping in his bed. He went to his bed and lay besides Aisha.
Aisha moans as Aeron's warm arms encircled around her body. "Hmm, Lucian, be nice." She murmurs in her sleep.
Aeron stilled and had a shock expression in his face before he broke out into a grin. His kissed the top on Aisha's head as he sleeps happily besides her.

"Have you ever thought of having yourself a boyfriend?"
"What?" Aisha momentarily froze at the sudden question of her Father before she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. "Ack!" Aisha cough heavily, her knees almost giving but she steadied herself and give her opponent a kick sideways towards Morano's head but Morano blocked it with his forearm.
"You're already 18, when will you get yourself a man?" Morano continuesly asked which ticked Aisha off and give him a hard punch, Morano had manage to block it, but the impact of Aisha's punch is quite strong that it sent him a few steps back.
"Father!" Aisha groaned. "What's up with these questions!?" Both of them continued sparing while having an "odd" conversation.
"It's true though, you're a woman but I've never seen you with a man before."
"I've been in contact with men. I'm not living in a cave!"
"Men whom you can act so intimately."
"If that's what you're pointing then I have lots of it!"
"Those who didn't get beat up and killed afterwards."
"..."
"Are you planning on staying single in your whole life?"
"Yes! I want to be alone! I don't want to have those unnecessary things that most girls and women wants!"
"What unnecessary things? How can you give birth to a successor if you don't have a man!?"
"There's Tom! I don't want to be the future Boss of this famiglia!"
"You---!?"
"It's troublesome to be a Boss!"
"So you only want to beat and kill people?"
"Exactly!"
"I'll give you the manor you want."
"Deal!" Aisha immediately beam at him, her head swinging to side as she avoided Morano's striking palm. "I'll let you find someone to be my husband. I'll go now!" Aisha give Morano one last punch before running out of the training room to pack all her things in her room.
"This child..." Morano didn't know what to feel seeing his only daughter so eager to leave him. "Don't forget to go to the Cavelli Manor! It's your Auntie Kristen and Uncle Rafael's wedding anniversary."
"I will!" Aisha shouted.
In the Cavelli Manor.
Aisha had an indifferent expression on her face, void of any emotions. Everyone could feel the coldness radiating off of her so everyone made sure to be a few meters away from her except for a young man dress in a plain black turtle neck and grey blazzer besides her. With her poker face, everyone couldn't guess what she was thinking, however, Freohr knew that she was bored and couldn't wait to leave.
"You see, if you want to go then go." Freohr said as he grinned cheekily at her.
"If I can then I will leave this place in instant but Father will be mad at me if I did." Aisha replied in a helpless tone. This ceremony, vomit worthy PDA, and all that fake smiles and laughs and congratulatory wishes, how she's disgusted by it.
Freohr laughs in response, and took the heart-shapped box filled with the highest quality and the most expensive chocolate truffles in the world, and handed it to Aisha.
Seeing this, Aisha lifted her brows in surprise, though her expression didn't change, much less her tone. "What's this?" According to the information she knows, the guests will be the one to give the hosts gifts as a sign of "courtesy" bullcrap in this type of occasion.
"A man should give chocolates, flowers, and gifts to a woman on the day of Valentine's." Freohr explained, one hand is in his trouser's pocket, appearing cool and rugged in the eyes of everyone.
Oh, no wonder, it's hearts day. Aisha thought with a roll of an eye, remembering her Father's prying in her non-existent love life. "What man are you talking about? You're only 14 years old young boy."
Freohr almost lost his balance, and his "cool" appearance cracked as he cries, "I'm already a 15 years old man! I turned 15 last August!" Freohr groaned, cursing the heavens and his parents why they not born him on the same year as Aisha is born.
"Fine, I get it." Aisha sighs, she couldn't understand why people should celebrate hearts day. "But you had to work hard if you want me to recognize you as a man."
Freohr wanted to pout but he resisted his urge, his eyes shone in admiration as he gaze deeply at Aisha. He was determined, he is going to try harder to be a man quickly and when he does... he stares at Aisha.
Aisha saw his stares in her peripheral vision and felt slightly creeped out. "Want me to strike at your eyeballs?" Aisha threatened in a low voice.
"No." Freohr gulped in fear. He stayed with Aisha for half an hour, he didn't like this kind of occasion too, but then his Mother had been urging him to come and hosts the guess with her sharp eyes every now and then so he turns to Aisha.
Freohr didn't need to say a word before Aisha waved her hand as a sign of telling him to scram. Once Freohr leaves, Aisha stayed for another few minutes before she goes to the back garden.
"What do you want?" Aisha suddenly asked out of the blue, and then there's a sound of crisp leaves being stepped.
Aisha turn around only to face a cold blue eyed man, he's exuding a dangerous aura that made Aisha's stomach churns, her eyes suddenly turn sharp. "Who are you?"
And that's how Aisha first met Aeron.
