Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Aria bit her lips hard before she could make herself to piss him off, "I'm pleased to hear that. Thank you, President Morgan."

Aria could make out he was fuming, "Ari..." Aria hung up purposefully without letting him continue.

In the Morgan Industries, Alan threw the telephone receiver aside. "Aria Cooper, I had thought your love couldn't let you go against me. A day and here you are."

"Alan" Isaac roared.

"Done with wisdom? Leave. Look for investors yourself."

Isaac rolled his eyes and left. 

He still had to talk to Eva who was fuming when she had seen him going behind Alan when Aria wasn't available to anybody.

Eva had moved to her parents' house the previous day and she was declining every call from Isaac.

Isaac quickly reached and entered her room. 

Eva thought him as her mother but frowned seeing Isaac. "Why are you here? Mr.Ross, I think President Morgan might need you. Leave."

"Eva... I wasn't supporting him." Isaac sat in front of her to convince.

"You knew about it. Didn't you?... Isaac, I dare lie on my face." Eva clearly wasn't at the state to hear him.

Isaac promptly replied, "I knew. But..."

"Get out." Eva pushed him and tried to type on her laptop ignoring him but Isaac sat back.

"Eva, listen to me."

Eva shrugged his hands away from her. "Isaac Ross, Arrie treated you as a brother. Your three year top movies were because of her. Let me tell you on your face, You are THE SUPERSTAR ROSS is because of Arrie. I'm with you because of Arrie. But what did you pay her in return? Cheat? Keeping her in the dark? Isaac, I never thought you could be so heartless. Leave about others. Let's talk about me, have you ever thought how much I will be hurt when this all happens? And guess what, I even started to think you could have a plan behind staying with me. Are you planning to blackmail my father? Are you planning to dump me after your desires are fulfilled? Are you planning to make use of my father's position for anything else?... Oh let me guess, are you planning to use me as your publicity if it dec..."

Isaac controlled himself from slapping her and scowled, "Shut up, Just shut up..."

"Do you think I never tried to stop Alan? Do you think he will listen to me? Do you think just because I tell about the problems to Aria in the past she would have believed me? Eva Miller, I have seen them falling in love. I am the living proof who saw how much they suffered in the past six years. Just because Aria showed everything was fine to you doesn't mean it was. I wanted them to live happily, was I wrong? Now they are apart, you are blaming it on me, why? Was I the one who made them together? Why didn't I get credit whenever I met Aria for Alan who couldn't get free in his tight schedule? Eva Miller, if I really had any plans, I wouldn't have waited for five years. If I had plans, why do you think I will waste my youth behind you? It's understandable that you get angered by the current situation of Aria and Alan, why the hell are you bringing it between us?... Alright, Aria is hurt, right? Are you planning to hurt her more? Isn't Aria the one who stood for us? Do you think she would be happy to know that we are arguing because of them? Eva, think before you speak nonsense."

Eva realized she was too impulsive. She looked at Isaac who was angered and didn't seem like lying at all. 

She stood on the bed and wrapped her hands around him hugging him tight scaring that he might toss her away.

Isaac was still angered and tried to peel her off but couldn't. "Leave me."

Eva shook her head tightening her hands. "You look too cute when angered."

Isaac: "..."

Well, men never liked to be called cute.

"Leave."

That made Eva tighten more. Isaac felt like she was trying to kill him, "Eva, do you want to be a widow before our marriage?"

Eva realized from his tone that she was choking him, hearing him complete. She left him instantly, "Who is marrying you? Go and marry your wifey. I got my Goddess back, I will marry her."

His wifey? Alan Morgan.

Isaac ignored whatever she said and pulled her back to embrace. He spoke calmly as he caressed her head, "We will help our friends however we can but we aren't allowed to fight because of their problems in their life. Am I clear?"

Eva gingerly asked, "Arrie knows you knew about President Morgan's plan. She won't blame me for being with you, will she?"

Isaac kissed her crown as he responded, "She has a brain. She is angry with me but not on us. I will try to meet her tomorrow... What do you think will happen if I tell her you screwed me and doubted me because of their situation?"

Eva pulled his ear instantly and kicked his buttock, "I dare you to say her. She will kill me if she gets to know. I'm not ready to hear her scold me."

Isaac chuckled and embraced her back. Even though he wasn't at the state to tell her everything about Aria and Alan, he was happy that Eva understood him.

He had tried his best to stop Alan but he had failed. He knew from the upcoming days those two would get hurt very badly.

In the Skyline Industries

Aria had finished her meeting to make sure none of the branches were facing the problem and was going towards her office. She paused seeing Roxy with Scarlett Cooper who was with her husband.

Aria didn't greet. "How do you guys know each other?"

"Arrie, are you alright?" Scarlett Cooper's husband, Jasper Madison asked.

"Alive." 

Aria didn't like her Uncle who used to beat his wife whenever he was drunk. But the time changed, from nine years they were living separately.

Scarlett was a scientist and professor at one of the top biotech colleges. Jasper Madison was a businessman.

Roxy snapped out first and spoke, "Arrie, I'm sorry I hid this matter with you. I'm their daughter. Your younger sister."

Aria remembered now that she wasn't in Alan's protection so all far relatives would pop up. 

But she wasn't at the state to trust anybody.

Aria walked towards the office, "In my office."

"Arrie? She is..." Scarlett Cooper couldn't digest Aria's cold behavior.

Roxy wasn't close to her family, not even her mother but she still tried to calm her, "Arrie is going through a lot."

Roxy's father, Jasper Madison snorted, "To her arrogance, she has to go through even more."
