Chapter 198 Next day in the office, the files were piled up on the table before me and my mind was preoccupied with the happenings of yesterday. I was still feeling perplexed about the entire setting.
My biggest worry was Aaron, he was so out of his character that I failed to recognize him for a moment. Generally, he was my crime partner, giving me easy access to everything I wanted. He had fought countless times with mom and dad to fulfill my wishes.
Then why did he behave so strangely? Was he really against my truth?
I gave this point a fair consideration and rejected it eventually. Living abroad had seen my friendâs experiences. Their family members clearly altered their livesâ course by either hating or welcoming their personality.
Aaron did none, leaving me confused, I rubbed my temple while solving this mystery.
âWhat to do now?â
I forced my brain to work at the maximum capacity, seeking an answer, and all thanks to my luck, I got an idea. Calling Aaronâs assistant and his closest ally, Carl, was the only option to ease my curiosity. They have been best friends since college.
So, I instantly dialed Carlâs number. âHey, buddy. Howâs life?â
Carlâs cordial voice from the other side laid a favorable foundation for my quest, he always treated me as a little sister like Aaron After the formal pleasantries, I asked him about my dear brother.
âIs there anything different you observe in Aaronâs behavior, Carl?â
Carl was a bit puzzled to hear my query, but he responded to me fairly.
âItâs not bizarre behavior; however, Aaron ordered me to launch an investigation about a lady named Laura Becker. He wants every information possible about herâ
What the fuck?
Aaron and Laura?
When did this happen?
Although I had teased them yesterday, it was evident from Lauraâs awkwardness that she had no connection with Aaron. They just met accidentally, and parted their ways with formal comments. That was why this occurrence didnât let me sit still. I grabbed my bag and rushed to confront my dear brother.
I took elevator to reach his office on the seventh floor and barged into his room âWhy are you investigating Lauraâs identity?â
My direct question made him scowl, Aaron spoke rudely.
âWhy didnât you knock, Sienna? Itâs not ethical to invade someoneâs privacyâ
To hell with your soâcalled privacy, Aaron!
From our childhood, we were used to sharing our every plan with each other, and he didnât tell me before ordering Carl about Laura. I was hell pissed. Voicing my distress, I complained to register my dismay.
âWhy did you go behind my back and keep Lauraâs issue confidential? Isnât it unfair that I donât know anything about your current mission, Aaron?â
As expected, Aaron tried to play cool, masking his motives with the excuse of business.
âLaura Becker is a businesswoman. I have asked for her info to make an alliance...â
I didnât pay any attention to his yapping and got up from my chair, stalking towards him dangerously.

Chapter Is You have thirty seconds to speak the truth, Mr. Aaron Lockwood. Otherwise Joining my two fingers. I put them on his head and spoke perilously.
You will be a victim of my fatal gun, Aaron. I will fire a mystical bullet to control your extraordinary mindâ
My imaginary revolver burst him into laughter like every time, he acted terrified to play along and gaped, âPlease donât shoot me, Maâam. I am innocentâ
We both laughed, tricking each other like our beautiful childhood. Aaron took a deep breath and grabbed my hands.
âMy little sister, I am not a creep to stalk Laura. I have pure intentions towards her..
