Chapter 205 No, it canât be true!
My eyes blinked with incredulity, staring in horror, I tried to process the shock of the sight in front of me.
Due to Brightâs rebellion, escape plan, and then staying at my Villa, I had expected that some uninvited visitors could come looking for trouble at any cost. I was mentally prepared for a decisive fight, unlike the silent retreat last me.
However, the person standing on the door was beyond my expectations, failing all my plans in one shot. My heart trembled at the mere thought of the upcoming drama.
My fight or flight mode activated as I tugged Brightâs arm, fearing a sudden orburst of my guest aka Mr. Aaron from the Lockwood industries.
Yes!
The man glaring at us murderously was none other than the stranger I met in the rain, who then turned out to be Brightâs fiancéâs brother. The memories of that evening refreshed in my mind, making me realize that he was a vigilant elder brother just like Henry, there would be no limit to his anger after seeing me with his sisterâs fiancé at home.
Wait a minute!
Was he here for Bright or me?
As soon as this query popped up in my mind, I rejected it as a wealthy businessman would never bother about a girl like me.
Aaron must have forgotten that encounter as an insignificant matter. Sienna was the apple of his eyes, her engagement with Bright was the only thing that could lure him out despite his busy schedule.
As I comprehended the actual reason for his visit, I regretted my decision to come outside in the twinkling of an eye, the thrill of my parcel had destroyed everything. If I could stay put, Bright would have handled him, saving me from this awkward situation.
On the other hand, Bright gawked at me as if I had just produced a rhinoceros from my pocket. I could just imagine the sparks in his brain, desperately trying to connect the dots, causing a short circuit. He was extra cautious about his whereabouts, staying âno contactâ with his close friends. He strived his best to be anonymous.
It seemed that his efforts were fruitless, giving away his address as Aaron Lockwood was here to question him about his absence.
As we kept standing quietly, looking at each otherâs stunned faces, the suffocating tension hug in the air, tended to explode a bomb in my head. I almost felt dizzy under the sharpness of Aaronâs gaze.
Although he was here for Bright, his watchful eyes were fixated on me. Perhaps, he was trying to intimidate me into telling him my connection with Bright.
But how could I do that?
My tongue felt heavy against the roof of my mouth, unable to utter a single word in response to those inaudible queries. My throat tightened instead of assisting me to speak properly. Just as I forced myself to behave like an adult, calming my frantically racing heart, the arrival of another unbidden person hit me like a tornado.
I literally became breathless for a moment as a blonde princess materialized out of thin air and spoke cheerfully.
âI have parked the car, Aaron. Thanks for letting me drive todayâ
Dressed in a pink floral sundress, Aaronâs little sister and his new driver, Sienna, was chirping like a bird, smiling widely. She didnât notice me and Bright at the door, and kept talking to her brother.
âWhy are you still standing here like a postman, Aaron? Didnât you press the doorbell?
And see, you forgot this bouquet in the car. I brought itâ
She handed him a beautiful bouquet of white Lilies to Aaron, speaking nonstop The trail of her casual chatters was only halted when her eyes finally caught the sight of two more people at the scene.
Sienna slapped her hand over her mouth to stifle the involuntary shriek that emitted from her mouth.

Chapter 205 Laura? Bright?
How?
The amazement in her voice clearly depicted our collective shock, where we waiting to burst like an inflated balloon at its limits.
were startled to see each other. The queries dancing in the air were I could see the several question marks popping up over Siennaâs head, wandering her round eyes like a popped eye toy in the claw machines of a carnival. She was flabbergasted to see a woman with her fiancé, probably planning to kill me for stealing her man.
But her next question actively opposed my idea as she said, âBright at Lauraâs house?
What is he doing here?â
