Ceon knew he should use the opportunity and clearly inform Aria, "I wanted to talk to you about Finn. I had told him many times to talk to you directly but he didn't… Finn..."

Aria looked at Ceon and concernedly asked, "Finn what?" Aria turned behind her to see Alan checking the bridal gowns. She turned back to Ceon and asked, "Mr.Davis, What happened to Finn? I spoke to him in the morning, he didn't tell me anything. What's wrong?"

​​

Ceon's eyes just followed Alan who checked the dresses and sat right next to Aria. Seeing Aria's no reaction against Alan, his doubt of Aria is married Alan started.

'Finn didn't have even a 0.1% chance because Aria is married to Alan.'

Alan knew Ceon was in shock due to his presence

"Finn!" Ceon saw Finn standing at the door.

When Finn spoke to Aria in the morning, he understood Ceon was going with Maxion to the studio where Aria was going. He wasn't sure if he reached on time or late, still he entered inside and got Aria's attention too.

"Finn? Come here. What happened to you? He didn't tell me. What are you hiding from me?"

Finn gently shook his head and smacked Ceon. He felt really at ease after hearing Aria. He was yet to respond, Maxion entered. Maxion was a celebrity photographer. He was mixed blood, tall and handsome with grey cat eyes.

Maxion had heard Luke saying he will have to take a couple-pictures too and got to know Aria was with her husband. So he went to see who it was. He waved his hand at Finn and looked at the couple.

Aria furrowed her brows looking at Maxion checking them out. Before she or Alan could warn him, he spoke, "Now I understand what is called power couple. Since both of you aren't models by profession, we might take a long time, get ready quickly so that we could get started."

Aria nodded, "Sure" And whispered to Alan cheekily, "I didn't know we are a power couple. Sounds good, isn't it?"

Alan hummed pinching her nose tip. He stood up and took the first dress when Aria again turned to two men. One was glaring and the other one was confused.

'Ahem' "Finn, You know I support homo couples too. You can talk to me if anything."

"ALIA!" Finn burst out hearing her.

Aria puffed her cheeks, "You guys are sitting and staring at each other saying there is something about you. What are you guys expecting me to do? Read your mind?"

Finn wanted to get back for it but Alan scooped Aria up in his arms saying, "I will help you change."

Aria: 😳

Ceon & Finn: 😶

Finn understood what Alan actually meant to them, 'Take your ass out.' He kicked Ceon out, sending the makeup artist and hairstylist inside.

"What the f**k were you thinking of doing today? Why weren't you receiving my call?"

Ceon ignored his question, "President Cooper went back to her ex. Like really?"

Finn controlled himself from beating him up, "They never left each other to say 'went back to ex'. They had little complications so they didn't finish the wedding. They are married for three years."

Ceon: 😵

Ceon sat on a chair completely lost in thoughts feeling really worse for his friend.

Finn breathed a sigh and sat down to rest. He knew Aria and Alan were fine if anybody gets to know about their relationship so he revealed it.

…

Inside the dressing room, Aria was flushed red when Alan left her on the floor. "Do you really think I need your help to wear the gown? Why do you have to tell that in front of other men? Ahh…"

Alan looked at her indifferently, "You are my wife. It isn't like they are little kids not to know what we do in private."

"Don't play dumb. You know exactly what I meant." Alan chuckled seeing her blushing red.

"You…"

Alan locked her lips for a gently soft kiss melting her in his arms as he undid her dress flushing her scarlet.

"A wedding kiss is a must before pictures. Isn't it?"

"Alan..." Trying to stop his warm hands on her bare skin, she failed to stop his lips, "If I let you... continue, you will complete our wedding night too… Alan… I have to get ready."

Alan stopped teasing hearing her enticing tone which actually excited him to continue. He kissed her forehead earning a weak punch on his waist. She leaned on him to relax her nerves, Alan carefully put on a beautiful full sleeve white A-line bridal gown.

Alan saw the gown on her and smiled, "You are right. Gowns are elegant and graceful. Exorbitant gowns look outdated in front of this."

Aria too smiled hearing him but paused, "How do I look? Am I doing justice to them?"

Alan again carried her up, "They look exquisite because they are on you sweetheart... You look sexy in my shirts. You suit every type of clothes…"

Aria covered her cheeks hearing him. She only wears his shirts when he bathes her and she will have no strength to do anything. Alan controlled his curling lips looking at her pout covering her cheeks closing her eyes to stop looking at him. Alan whispered, "What are you imagining Ms.Cooper?"

She wasn't imagining but hearing his magnetic voice near her ear, images of them together flashed in her mind and flushed scarlet feeling herself warm. Alan nonchalantly left her on the chair and sat on the couch as if he didn't do or say anything.

Aria was trying to control her wandering mind but heard, "President Cooper, are you alright? Why are you so red?"

Alan gazed at her reflection in the mirror and asked sweetly, "Honey, is everything alright?"

That sweet voice paused makeup artist and hairstylist who blushed glancing at Alan but Aria roared hearing his alluring tone, "I am going to kill you if you speak now."

Alan looked like a bullied husband of a dominant wife, he silently went back to his mobile while the other two women assumed Aria had an ill temper.

Aria drank water and cooled down soon distracting herself. The hairstylist hadn't done much to her hair while the makeup artist enviously looked at her natural skin.

Since the required make up was natural and nude, Aria didn't need any makeup or correction of skin tone. So she highlighted lightly, defined her brows, and added fake lashes with light liner.

When everyone thought it might take an hour for makeup, it was over in ten minutes. "President Cooper, your skin is really soft and flawless. Since we need a natural look, this will be enough. Let me know if you need changes."

She prepared herself for huge tantrums from President Cooper.
