Aria who had imagined a typical Presidents' love story thought to tell him brushing her nose on his.

"Let me hear the story," Alan asked, kissing, nibbling her neck.

​​

"How am I going to tell the story if you start teasing me?" She didn't know what else to say.

Alan gave it thought by stopping in action while Aria continued to rain kisses on his face, "It's your dare."

Dare! It picked her interest, she added her dare, "Then you aren't allowed to use your hands." She thought he couldn't do anything and she could conclude her story.

Alan: "..."

He wasn't certain if he was capable to do it but still wanted to give it a try as he was just wearing a bathrobe, "I didn't know you are into hanky panky. I see we have a lot to play around."

Aria didn't expect him to accept, she held him, "Talking about the game, I want to play a..."

Alan locked her lips and her words died under his demanding, fierce kiss which was passionate melting her under him trying to match his pace. Breaking the kiss, Alan's seductive tone sounded in her ear, "Sugar, I am waiting for the story!"

Story? That had fled her mind long back. All she wanted now was her husband. Her canorous voice was enticing when he continued to nibble her neck, "After you."

Alan was pleased to hear her brain losing against her heart but he followed his dare which excited him seeing her crave for the touch of his hands moaning his name repeatedly.

He wasn't listening to his brain, he just wanted to make his wife happy by satiating in the end...

At Morgan Industries

The next day after completing his office work, Alan called Rian to his office. Rian knew well why Alan was calling him. Deciding to face it, Rian reached his brother's office.

Alan was direct without beating around the bush, "Who is behind the blackmail?"

Rian was deliberating so Alan continued, "Last time Aria told me that she was blackmailed, what if she hadn't told me and broke up with me to keep you safe? Or are you waiting for that to happen?"

Rian knew well that Aria could go to any extent to keep them safe and he didn't want his brother and Little devil to separate. He clenched his fist tight and told off, "It's our grandfather, Ford Gray."

Alan's finger slightly trembled. He never in his dream thought even his relatives wanted to separate him from Aria. His voice was awfully bitter, "Purpose."

Rian and Alan both knew if the news about Ford Gray goes out, Amelia would be the one who will be more hurt. The deeper the information about it, that will hurt her more.

Rian knew it a few weeks back when he traced the bank account details, time and place, and Ford's account transaction. Later he spoke to his grandfather.

Rian spoke, "It all started when Uncle Oliver rejected our grandfather's farm products for the organic industry. I have checked the test papers, it is showing they have used chemical fertilizers but Skyline Organics never accepts chemically treated goods. That time grandfather had lost quite a lot of capital, failing to export the large quantity of production..."

Rian then narrated what happened after it.

When all the vegetables and fruits were rejected, market rates weren't good and the goods were huge so nearly ninety percent of grown products were wasted without getting any order to export anywhere. A lot of savings he had invested was lost so he had even tried to create a stir between the Skyline suppliers.

Oliver soon got to know about it and spoke to all the suppliers about the situation. Oliver always had good relations with all the suppliers so they didn't listen to Ford which increased the latter's rage. He had never tried to badmouth Oliver in front of Amelia or Rowan because they always had a healthy relationship.

When Oliver lost his life, he had even thought Oliver faced his final retribution but when he got to know Alan was taking care of Skyline Industries and he personally became the legal guardian, he thought to be nice to Aria. Since Aria wasn't out of her loss yet, she hadn't responded to him but Ford misunderstood her.

He felt like Aria was purposefully treating him low to insult him like his father. That time he determined that she shouldn't have anybody by her side and she should pay for Oliver's undid sins too. He got along with Morgan Industries' finance department director who gave information about Alan thinking Alan was his grandson. He paid a huge sum to Skyline Industries director's assistant and planted a mole.

That way he installed microphones in Morgan mansion, Skyline Industries but failed to install them in Morgan industries. He followed each and every action of Aria. Whenever he heard Alan closely talking with Aria, his fury rose.

Then by mistake, he had noticed Lucas Cooper when he was on the way to visit country U to meet Monroe. The latter had told him that she never got a chance to talk to Alan and the latter always ignored her even if she went around him. Thinking how Alan treats Aria and Monroe so adversely, he chose to help Lucas Cooper.

He faked an emergency, used his old age, and wired the money from a random person's account by handing him the foreign cash.

They were never able to track the money sender because all those times, Ford was in the country U. But what he hadn't expected was his plan to part Aria from the Morgan family brought her even closer and she became Alan's fiancee in no time.

When Ford got to know, the case couldn't be saved, he dropped helping Lucas Cooper midway. Then Monroe returned back home, Aria left. Monroe failed to get Alan's attention and Aria returned.

He really had thought Aria and Alan weren't on good terms when Alan wasn't in the homecoming party of Aria. He thought she would leave them but it was the opposite. It was like five years never existed, they got along extremely stable than before.

Aria took over her company, in the shortest amount of time, she made her name huge but what he hated most was Alan and Aria together. Alan was dropping her and picking her daily as if there was nothing important left in the world to do.

When Ford got to know they were going to get married and she tightened her security, he sent the blackmailing text. Seeing her still attending the wedding, he again sent the blackmailing text with Rian's picture. He had thought the wedding stopped because of him which was partially true but there were many others who wanted to stop it that he didn't know.

All that together, Aria and Alan's grand wedding was wrecked.
