In Cooper mansion

Aria, Alan, and Finn reached in Rolls Royce Phantom instead of their sports car.

​​

Rian who had reached the mansion chased after Aria, "You Little devil, you are dead tonight."

"Oh sh*t." Aria started running away from him.

Alan stood in front of the brand new Bugatti Divo. It was extremely powerful and exclusive for each customer. They are unique pieces of the highest quality with enormous attention to every detail during craftsmanship, development, and manufacturing.

Alan hadn't really taken seriously the previous day when she had told what to do with the gift she bought for him.

He had wanted to change his car but due to all the wedding, worries, work, he hadn't checked on it. He also realized she had ordered a long back for him.

'Betrothal gift?' He understood it was a wedding gift.

Finn was amazed looking at the car and heard Possessive Rian and understood the car was for Alan from Aria.

"Little Devil, stop right there. I am really doubting your eyesight and your brain cells... Little devil... Did you forget your friends? You used to get me so many things... Little Devil..."

Aria went around the vast lawn before standing behind Alan breathing heavily. "Break break. I'm tired... Ahh... Alan..."

"You..." Rian snorted seeing Alan carrying her away.

Finn patted Rian's back. "Your brother already stole her."

"I will kidnap her tonight Hmph." Rian sounded rightful and strode near the new car leaving Finn speechless.

Aria drank water but swallowed many times looking at Alan's intense gaze. She stuttered, "I... I didn't rob a bank. Why are you giving me that look?"

"Dummy"

Aria was glad he didn't scold her. She pulled him closer and asked sweetly, "My Dum-dum, did you like the car?"

Alan didn't care about how much it costs, it was always her thoughts that counted for him. He was content seeing her attentive about him.

The only thing he arranged for her was a wedding but he failed due to circumstances.

Aria always took care of his wardrobe, gifted the acres of land around the villa for him just because he wanted, secretly convinced investors when she had withdrawn while during their angered fight, now car and many more things.

But he didn't consider how much he invested himself in her safety in-country S and A, how carefully he takes care of her all the time.

Aria saw his blank deep thinking gaze. She knew what was going on in his mind. "My livid guardian, hadn't I told you I'll bestow you with lots of gifts? So you just have to coddle me ENDLESSLY."

Alan pinched her cheeks for hearing prolonged 'Endlessly'. "Dummy"

Aria pecked on his cheek, "Dum-dum" And she ran away to the kitchen.

Rian rolled his eyes looking at them towards the dining hall sitting in the living hall. Finn had already opened his laptop to work so that he could ignore the excess dog food.

Soon Isaac, Eva, Roxy, Noah reached Cooper mansion for dinner. Merrily finishing dinner, Finn was ready to leave again.

"President Stanley, why don't you stay back tonight?" Eva suggested seeing him pack his things.

Isaac voiced it, "Yeah! If you don't have any pre-arranged plans."

Aria went up to him and spoke, "If you are uncomfortable, I'll arrange a driver for you. Or rest in here if you are tired. You drank a lot of wine with us."

"I will be the odd one out with you guys." Finn voiced his thoughts only to her.

Aria understood him and nodded, "How about I ask to arrange a room for you? You can work or rest."

"Mulish."

Aria grinned and pointed at the couch for him to sit before asking Sophia to arrange a room for Finn with some clothes.

When she returned to the group, Rian was chiding Kyle Mason. Smacking his head, Aria pulled Finn in the conversation, "How is she? Noah's girl. We are searching for her."

Finn hummed as a response. He was returning her mobile but he pulled back and spoke trying to remember, "I think I have seen her a few days back."

The Fourie looked at each other and three sat around Finn almost scaring him.

Noah rubbed his forehead, "Guys, don't scare him." but three ignored him while the other two friends watched.

"I guess President Stanley doesn't have the taste of crazy Fourie yet." Isaac said in a low tone to Alan looking at Finn who became too careful by three.

Alan didn't care about it. "Mom was Dad's one night stand." Alan's voice was low but Isaac analyzed and grunted loud enough to get everyone's attention, "What?"

Isaac awkwardly smiled and took Alan forcefully towards another end of the vast living hall to talk about it.

Three returned their gaze back on Finn.

"Was she your fling?"

Aria's lips twitched hearing Rian and pinched his waist while Finn was unfazed. "Nope. I think I recently saw her in Skyline jewelry in Ambience Mall. I had gone there with Ceon."

Eva and Aria high fived and ran towards the jacket stand.

Noah, Rian, Finn looked at them in amusement. The former spoke, "Loonies, he had seen. She wouldn't... Is Kyle from city B?"

Aria and Eva chuckled for his slow brain.

Finn guessed Aria's intentions, "Security footage? But I'm not sure if it's actually her. We had chosen the same necklace so only that brief moment I had glanced at her."

Aria went back to him, "Send this picture to Ceon Davies. I'm sure he would have checked her out."

Finn almost chuckled knowing his friend's image in Aria's mind. He shook his head, "He is devoted to a girl and doesn't care about any other girl."

Aria pouted but, "No problem. I want to check the footage today itself. If you remember the date and time, ping it to my number."

She quickly went to Alan, "Alan, I am going to Ambience mall to check about Kyle. I will be back soon."

"I will drive you." Alan stood up but Aria gently pushed him back on the armchair, "Take rest, I will be back soon."

Alan saw her determined hence he nodded.

Isaac held her back, "Arrie, you can't run around with office work, Noah, and now Saira Hayek. You have to prioritize and finish one first. Don't stress yourself."

Alan too nodded at her when her eyes met his.

Aria knew her priority. "Noah first." Her closed ones were always the first priority.

"Don't worry Isaac." Then she whispered to Alan, "We will check out our pictures later. I will come soon."

In no time, Aria, Rian, Noah, and Eva left for the Ambience mall hoping they could find a lead or some clue to reach Kyle Mason.
