Isla was cent percent sure that Aria was the one she saw after they had opened the trolley bag. She had the urge to call Toby Lewis but controlled looking at Aria who sat next to Alan and the latter kept his hand on the couch backrest as he caressed her hair asking indulgently.

"Got teased?"

​​

Aria hummed pouting her lips and punched him, "Why am I only one to get teased? Even you spent the night with me. Hmph."

Alan smiled hearing her complain as he handed her glass of juice.

Isla's eyes were wide open in shock hearing Aria. Just a minute back she had tried to brainwash Alan saying Aria was a wanton and she must have wilfully gone to Toby when Alan casually mentioned 'Toby Lewis met Aria'.

Her main disadvantage was she had a brain for her evil tricks but not for handling effectively.

Looking at how Alan carefully tending to Aria as his one hand fingers played with her hair lock, she breathed heavily controlling herself from tossing Aria away.

She always branded Alan only belonged to him so she couldn't see anybody next to him.

She soon realized she was the one who said Aria went to Toby's place indirectly saying she was aware of previous day's incidents.

After greatly stopping Alan from making Isla jealous to an extreme, Aria turned to Isla whose face was dark as dungeon looking ugly as a pit.

Aria still had a lovely smile, "Ms. Turner, you sure have guts to show your dirty face to Alan after your high dramas. Don't you think you have a greater tendency to think you can get Alan? Ignoring your dirty games failing one after the other, do you think you can match me in any single aspect?"

There was a weird silence for long. Isla had clenched her fist glaring at Aria. When she was about to retort, "I..."

Alan gently held Aria's ear, "You can't match her in a few aspects."

Aria was surprised to hear him and turned to face him.

Isla was on cloud nine thinking Alan was defending her, "President Cooper, just because you have power doesn't mean others are worthless."

Even after seeing Alan looking at Aria adoringly, how could she think that Alan was defending her?

Aria smiled at her as Alan spoke looking at Aria, "You can't be fake... You can't hook up with many men... You can't look ugly... You can't kidnap anybody for..."

Aria was seeing Isla who was getting pale turned to Alan and cut in hearing 'kidnap', "I can kidnap you though."

Alan's lips tilted up and asked in a low tone, "To take advantage of me? Or to let me take advantage of you?"

Aria instinctively turned a shade of pink but tried her best to be calm, "To keep you hidden."

Isla saw them flirting in front of her and fumed. She wanted to talk against Aria but she wasn't sure how much Alan knew about Aria's kidnap.

Alan greatly enjoyed seeing Aria's cheeks turn pink and hearing her mellifluous tone.

He stopped teasing her and narrowed his eyes at Isla which made her gulp. "Ms.Turner, would you like to see your bedmate?"

Alan's people had extracted videos from Toby's mobile which Toby had used to record their intimate moments to have Isla on his fingertips.

He led Aria out as Isla was brought out by two well-built guards and they followed Alan's sports car.

Isla had tried her best to reach Toby but nobody answered it. She called another number to inform that Alan was taking her somewhere, "Hello! Al... Hey... Give me back... Ahhhh How dare you throw my mobile? Are you guys kidnapping me? Let me go..."

A guard had snatched the mobile and threw out before closing the soundproof section separator to avoid hearing her nonsense.

As soon as they reached the police station, Isla ran inside shouting Alan Morgan was kidnapping her but her pace lowered after entering to see there were only five members eagerly waiting for somebody and ignored her completely as if she was a mosquito.

They greeted Alan and Aria, Nathan followed them with two guards.

Aria didn't know even police in chief gives so much respect to Alan. Whereas the latter merely nodded at the chief, deputy chief, and captain.

Aria didn't know how to greet them back seeing Alan who took her inside without letting her response as if it didn't require.

Isla saw everything in bewilderment. She had no choice but to follow them under oppressing air. She still had no idea which bedmate Alan spoke about other than guessing as Toby Lewis.

It was Aria's first time in the detention center. Seeing a few criminals peeking at them, she subconsciously held Alan's arm as they reached Toby's room where he was pacing like a headless chicken.

There was no more any handsomeness due to the cops who had beaten him when he had shoved them and acted like manic after knowing the cops finding illegal drugs and weapons in his apartment.

He regretted listening to Isla Turner because it wasn't a new thing in the business industry to know that Alan was merciless and stony when he has to protect his business or when avenging, let alone they planned on the girl who he treasured most out of everything.

He had contacted his entertainment company who raised their hand knowing the reason behind his detention.

Similarly, many of his high profile contacts who used to run around him behaved as unknown.

He had called Isla Turner a few minutes back but it was not reachable. Hearing footsteps he raised his head to see Alan walking towards him in his aloof face wearing a crisp white shirt and his blazer was on a pretty girl who was directing a faint smile at Alan.

His eyes were wide open in shock seeing Isla Turner following them looking nervous. His first thought was he was set up by Isla Turner.

Isla paled seeing Toby in the cell. The latter instantly enraged, "You bitch! You set me up. Didn't you?"

Isla felt like she was getting strokes hearing him and turned to Alan who had wounded his one hand around Aria's shoulder holding her like a piece of priceless treasure.

Aria who saw four broken teeth asked Alan curiously, "Did I broke any of his tooth or the cops?"

The captain answered, "President Cooper, we had to break to remove the hand shower out of his mouth."

Isla and Toby looked at them in annoyance.

'Is that important now?'
