It was morning already and Aliya woke earlier, she didn't have a good night sleep because of the condition of the room. She stepped out of her room wandering inside the manor. She had been so busy yesterday and didn't get a tour around, she needed to find Aiden's room so she could talk to him.
Aliya decided to check out the rooms there and find a suitable room for herself. She had just checked out a room which she found pleasant and was about to leave when someone bumped into her and the latter glared at her.
It turned out to be one of her kidnappers.
Tessy heard from Gary that their boss was married to this woman. She had thought that she was one of her boss's prey, who would have thought that he would actually marry her. She had always thought that their boss and young Miss were a match but now this woman. She really disliked her. Tessy ignored her and tried to walk pass but Aliya blocked her.
If you bumped into someone, the least you can do is apologize, Aliya said.
You were the one sneaking around, why should I apologize?
So I should apologize for you being blind?
Who did you call blind?
I don't think there is another party here so you should know best.
Don't be too cocky, the young Miss will be back soon and when she comes, she will put you in your place and...
What's going on here? Aiden interrupted. He was wearing a workout cloth, he seemed to be coming from a morning run.
Tessy bowed slightly. Boss, Miss Finch doesn't seem to know the rules here, i was only telling her about it but she seems….. she didn't finish up.
Aiden turned to Aliya, you have only been here for a day and you have already caused problems. Can't you just stay put?
Aliya looked at him, he was really biased , he didn't even ask her what was wrong and already concluded that she was at fault. She ignored him and walked away.
What audacity, did that woman just ignore the boss, Tessy thought to herself.
Aiden was annoyed by her silence and walked to her grabbing her shoulder and pinning her to the wall, covering her with his tall frame.
You don't walk away until I say so, nor do you ignore me.
Aliya struggled to get away but he didn't budge. What else do you want me to say? You already concluded that I was causing trouble.
I don't care what happened between you two but here, you have to do as you are told, understood?
Aliya still kept quiet.
Aiden held her neck and choked her. Answer me, Understood?
Yea, understood. Aliya said and he released her, she started coughing as oxygen returned to her. Her eyes were brimming with tears, this Aiden was really scary.
Tell the Kitchen that Miss Finch will handle today's breakfast. She has to prepare everything on the menu.
Yes boss. Tessy bowed as Aiden left for his room.
Tessy was happy with the saga. Seems you are not really that important. Go make the breakfast, the boss doesn't like lateness, she said walking away.
Aliya was still shaken up by what happened earlier and now she was supposed to cook. She excelled in the business world but the kitchen was an entirely different place, she didn't know how to cook.
In the kitchen, all the servants had been ordered to leave, leaving only two to supervise her cooking, she really didn't know where to start.
Aliya looked at the menu for breakfast and saw that they were all simple breakfast dishes. She decided to try, if he died from food poisoning then he had himself to blame.
Madam, you don't have to be scared. I will guide you through, one of the servants said and received a glare from the other.
I would really appreciate your help, Aliya said, she had always been a fast learner. With some instructions from the servant, she was able to make the dishes.
The food was served and Aliya was already dressed for work sitting at the dining table waiting for Aiden's arrival.
Aiden came down with his assistant Miguel and Tessy and saw the dishes. He walked past the dining area and was about to leave.
You won't have breakfast?
I will pass, he said coldly and left the house.
Tessy turned around and laughed at Aliya mockingly.
Aliya clenched her fists, Aiden was doing this on purpose, he was clearly embarrassing her.
The servants looked at her pitifully while some murmured amongst themselves.
Aliya walked out too and left for work.

Boss, I got a call from Miss, she said she's unable to reach you and she wanted to talk to you.
About what?
Miss said she's coming to the Capital City.
Coming here, why?
I don't know, she just said to inform you that she would be back tomorrow.
Arrange for someone to go pick her up at the airport.
Boss, Miss insisted that you would pick her up.
What's on my schedule?
You have a meeting with the Mayor at that time.
Cancel it.
Yes boss.
Aliya was in her father's office at Finch Corporation.
The Andres are really angry, they are demanding an explanation from us and are even insinuating that we planned your kidnap.
Dad, I understand their anger. I will arrange a meeting with Ryan right away and explain everything to him.
What exactly are you going to tell him,Aliya? That you got married to another man. The same man who kidnapped you on your wedding day, isn't it the same as admitting that you planned it.
Dad, just leave it to me, I will handle it.
The company is not doing well Aliya, I can't wait for you to handle things. I will have to meet up with Aiden and annul the marriage, you can't be entangled with him, Edward Finch declared.
