Chapter 15 - She’s back 1

A few days later,

"Ma'am this is your new captain." Ralf introduced her to her new captain.

The previous captain was a mole implanted by her enemies. This is exactly why she always avoided going out to faraway places with her children. The safest place for them was at home and near her.

All of the moles she had found over the past 7 years had one the following three purposes. The first reason could be to get photos of her face and her children as well. The second was to steal designs from her and frame her for plagiarizing. The third one was to kill her.

She can admit that at times she can be a bit too overprotective and paranoiac but she always had to be on guard.

After meeting the new captain her luggage was sent inside the private Jet and she boarded it.

She had just given her goodbye to James and she promised to be back with Aria as soon as possible. Frankly, it might take her a while. She is back in the country with the excuse of her work with LABELS.

She needed an excuse to come back to the country or else the media will not leave her alone. Her identity is mysterious enough so when she moves without a reason they all question it. Not only that but other famous designers who she don't get along with her are waiting for the downfall.

Since LABELS came to light they have all been fighting for the number one position so that they get to work with LABELS. It's not a secret that they only work with the best of the best.

Many people are waiting for her downfall in the industry. The truth is that it doesn't matter what industry you are in. As long as you are successful there will always be jealous people waiting to stab you in the back. The most venomous people are those who silently wait for your downfall and when you are at rock bottom they step all over you and humiliate you.

How did she know this? That's because she has experienced it. When she started her career she wasn't always strong like this. She had been betrayed a few times before and there was an occasion where her designs were stolen. But she had no power back then, what could she do?

While Aria was on the plane she had Ralf let out the news of her identity. The news was spreading like wildfire. At the airport, before boarding her plane she had allowed people to take pictures of her but she had to make it look like they were leaked. So, she told Ralf to 'try' and suppress it but purposely fail.

Why was she taking so many precautions you ask? Well, let's just say Noah isn't a person to be fooled easily. If she doesn't make her plan flawless he will see right through her and that would be very inconvenient.

'Oh, Noah. We will meet soon. For some reason, I'm super anxious about it.' She looked down at her shaking hand and sighed.

'It's been so long. I love you but I still wish to slap you across the face.'

If only her love weren't so deep….

Not that she regrets loving him. After all, James and Aria are a gift and she would never regret giving birth to them. But the reality is that it's been seven years and she still can't get over him. Isn't that sad?

"Ma'am." She snapped out of her thoughts when the flight attendant called her. She handed her the menu and asked her to pick her food.

After her food came Adriana ate and started working to distract herself. Afterward, she decided to sleep since the flight would be almost 7 hours long.

CRASH

"Noah, am I the only one seeing that?" Chris looked at the tv with shock and then back at his cousin. His cousin's hands were shaking and his face was pale. His face had lost its color completely.

He took out his phone and he immediately called the doctor. "The doctor will be here soon. Calm down Noah calm down." Chris did his best to stay calm himself because of the shock.

"No. Take me to her." His brother whispered before passing out.

Chris was shocked. He fell into complete shock. How the hell was he supposed to take that in?

"He only saw a glimpse of her and he is already starting to remember? What kind of useless hypnotist is that?!" He yelled angrily.

He was thankful that Angel and Aria were not here to witness anything.

He carried Noah to the resting room inside his office and laid him down in the bed.

He then took out his phone and called a doctor. Taking another glance at the tv and his lips trembled.

'F*cking sh*t I was not prepared for this at all!'

He knew Adriana as a cute, energetic, and lovable girl. Kind and nice but adorable. This woman made his brother fall head over heels. Their love was so great that it hurt them so much. Seeing how his brother had even passed out when he saw that woman's face in the news made him shocked.

Just how much do these two have going on? He wondered but now was not the time to think about these things. He needed to help. He composed himself and dismissed all his thoughts.

Kelvin Rosein came inside the room in a rush. He immediately started the medical procedure on Noah.

"Just what made him get this bad?" He asked Chris in shock. "She's back." He replied with a gulp. "Who's back?" Kelvin asked in confusion. "Nevermind that's not important." He concentrated on treating Noah and making sure that he will be okay.

He sighed in relief when Noah was back to normal. "The toxin in his body is getting worse. I'm not understanding why it got so bad. I also see he will wake up with a huge headache. Contact the man who did the hypnosis on him." He frowned with complete confusion.

"Just what the hell happened? He hasn't had an attack since he was 11 years old." He whispered with terror.

"I told you she's back," Chris whispered and he sat down in a chair next to the king-sized bed. He covered his face with his palm and he took deep breaths. "Who? Damn it just speak!" Kelvin yelled in frustration.

"Adriana Price. Don't act stupid." Chris replied. "You mean THE Adriana Price? The ex-wife who abandoned him seven years ago?" He asked the obvious.
