Chereads / Murderer In Moonlight / Chapter 24 - Fallen - Part 2

Chapter 24 - Fallen - Part 2

Though she was worried sick about him, he was doing quite well on his own. It was as if he never had a fever going on but deep down he too had started to feel a little discomfort as Adrienne who is always by his side wasn't there today.

Adrienne encountered Noir on his way to the office, he was just getting back after partying all night.

"So why are you here?" Noir asked as they entered his office.

"Master Aiden wanted you to sign them," she said carefully placing the files on his table.

"Have you gone through them and were there any trouble in them when you reviewed them?" he asked taking his pen out.

"No Master, I didn't come across any."

"Great!" He signed all 6 of them at the speed of light, without even taking a second to go through them.

"Have a great evening," he said giving her a wink.

"Thank you Master Noir," Adrienne left the room without giving his words much of a thought.

She returned back to her office, picked up her bag, and headed outside after placing the files back on Aiden's desk.

She too was looking forwards to speak with him, after what happened this morning she knew that she no longer will have a way to escape from him.

It was my fault for uttering those stupid words, she blamed herself while getting into the driving seat.

As no one was there she didn't think twice to turn the music on, all this time she couldn't even listen to music because of how peculiar Aiden was. Classical Music was all he knew.

She got to the venue way before it was 1.30 pm and waited for him outside the restaurant since she couldn't go and drag him out.

She was not there to pick him up but to confirm the words that he told her this morning and she too had no way of confirming her feelings towards him when he would ignore her like this.

She kept tapping on the floor while looking at the clock.

Aiden finally came out of the restaurant and stayed at the front door until his driver came to him.

"Master, you are finally here," Adrienne came to him.

"Didn't expect you to come here to pick me up. Did you miss me?" he asked while tapping on her head.

"Not at all, I came here because there is no use of going back to the company today. Because you were sick last night, I called and cleared your schedule last night, so I think it's better to take some rest instead of going back to the company."

"Oh is that so? I thought you came here because you missed me."

"Let's go there is somewhere that we need to go," he said leading the way to the parking lot.

Without questioning him she quietly followed him, though he said that they were dating she still couldn't put her mind together to behave so.

"Can I hold your hand?" He asked looking at Adrienne who was following him quietly.

She was blushing all over upon hearing his words, she wanted to give her hand to him but yet she couldn't say the words, yes go on, to him. Instead, she walked another few steps closer to him and nodded her head.

Aiden without even thinking again grabbed her hand and ran with her to the car.

"Woah that felt great," he said trying to catch his breath.

"Car keys?" He said. Adrienne handed the car keys to him. He opened the door for her and waited for her to get in, after closing the door for her he got into the car and drove like someone who is looking forward to crashing into someone else's car.

As she knew how much of a good driver he was she didn't mind him driving that fast but he did scare her from time to time.

The road they were taking kept heading to the countryside, much further and further away from their house.

"I reserved a resort for us, Let's have a walk along the beach and have dinner before we head out tomorrow," he said while putting his hand on her hand.

***

After a tiring drive, they both arrived at a resort where no one seemed to be around, it didn't look habitable at all. It looked like a haunted resort by the sea instead of somewhere people come to have fun.

"It might look like this... Let's go inside first. I guarantee you that it is so beautiful and comfy inside," he said while getting out of the car and coming to the other side to open the door for her.

She quietly followed his lead as he was holding her hand.

His words did have a meaning to them, it only looked like that from the outside. The inside was beautiful like a palace, the beach that was right in front of the resort was the most beautiful beach that she had ever seen in her life.

The Golden Beach and the sea looked exactly like the sky but with waves that were continuously flowing towards the ground.

"Since you seem to like it that much, let's go for a walk first," he said walking while holding her hand.

"Let's take off our shoes," he said while taking his shoes off and rolling his trousers up. He put his coat onto the shoes and bend down in front of Arienne.

"Master what are you doing, this is highly inappropriate!"

"There is nothing called inappropriate between a couple," he said rolling up her trouser so that they won't get wet.

"Take off your coat, it is only going to get in the way," he said.

She did as he said and dropped it on the ground before walking to the sea.

She was mesmerised by how beautiful it looked, she wished she could jump into it, but she knew that it was not right to do so when she didn't have a spare set of clothes with her.

"This place holds a special place in my heart too, this is the last place my mom took me, but well… she never walked me down this though. I walked down the beach by myself until my butler found me soaked in seawater after playing in the water for too long.

I don't know why my mom left me here like that when I was young, but this is the only place where I managed to get some freedom. That is also the reason why I brought you here."

"We will be able to fly out freely soon."

"Just remember that I will not be one of those cheaters out there, and even if I am forced to marry someone I will not do that as long as you are going to be with me.

I am not forcing you to stay with me if you don't like me, but if you really like me don't leave me. I have had enough of this dull and alone life.

And maybe you will be able to save me from the sinful life that I am leading, though you never helped me in those causes I hope you can understand me, it's not like I am doing this because I want to."

"I just can't stop myself from becoming a monster."
