Cross- Roads: What To Choose Love Or Friendship

When Aaron was thinking how he will propose Hayley for marriage, Hayley asked him the question that was the reason for Aaron to be at her place on first place. "You and Caleb are cousins and that too first cousin, why didn't you guys tell me that?" Hayley has accusation in her eyes, how could they forget to mention that to her.

Aaron didn't know how to respond to her "Well.... I didn't knew about this either till the time we all reached second standard and our mother's came face to face in one parents meet" he said sheepishly. After this statement he saw Hayley's eyes goes round and wide in Surprise and she opened her mouth to say something and then shut it and then she opened to say something again she repeated this quite a few time and now Aaron find it oddly amusing and he chuckled. "Weird world of riches" that's all she was able to say, they didn't know that they both were cousins till second standard what kind of world they live in this is true example of high society is weird.

Aaron heard her statement and he agreed to her it was indeed weird but that's how their lives were weird and now she was also part of this weird world but she was a beautiful part. " If you know about me and Caleb being cousin that means he told you all about Mason's" he said and saw Hayley nodded her head in approval after getting her approval he continued "After my mother married my father my maternal grandfather distances himself from her." " Was he upset with your mother for marrying your father?" Hayley cuts in his monologue.

"No,no it's not like that , it's just that my grandfather didn't want to implicate my family with the danger and burden that came with the name Mason and my mother also wants to stay away from underworld and she also didn't want me to get involved into this underworld thing" he said trying to convey thought process of his mother and maternal grandfather to Hayley. Hayley nodded her head in agreement 'well that makes sense' she thought.

She had lots of questions in her mind but she didn't have energy left in her body to talk. Aaron could see that she had lots of questions but he could also see drowsiness in her eyes too. He cupped her face with both of his hands and said "let life surprise you, love. Life going to became boring if you know everything." After hearing this Hayley remembered that her father use to say something similar to her too, now days Aaron making her remember her dad a lot. Maybe that's why she is in love with him because people usually say that a girl always look for her father in her partner.

Hayley smiled at him and nodded in agreement and she put her head on Aaron's shoulder and allowed her eyes to close and went into deep slumber. When Hayley's breathing became even Aaron knew that she was asleep he picked her up carefully and took her to her bedroom and tucked her in bed after that he came out in living room and called Caleb.

"Did you find out who was behind Hayley's kidnapping plan?"Aaron asked the moment call got picked. Caleb knew when it comes to Hayley's safety Aaron and Keith both were same, a person with no patience. He sighed it's not just these two even he himself was like that when it comes to Hayley. He personally tortured those who tried to kidnap Hayley but they all said one thing that they didn't knew who ordered for Hayley's kidnapping. He personally looked into Hayley's past but didn't found anybody suspicious that brought them to dead end to their search.

Aaron and Caleb both knew that whoever behind this will attack again, but they both were thinking who was mad enough to challenge four powerful family of this country in one go. In the same time they both were thankful for Keith's gut feeling because of his gut feeling Keith assigned a bodyguard to Shadow guard Hayley and because of that they came to know about Hayley being in danger and able to save her.

While these two friends-cousins thanking Keith's gut feeling and deciding a plan to catch the culprit, it started to rain outside and someone's car stopped right in front of Hayley's apartment. Window of car slid down and a man was sitting inside car smiled to himself while gazing towards Hayley's apartment window whose lights were still on because Aaron was talking to Caleb. "Those idiots failed to bring you to me Hayley but next time I will not relay to anyone else but myself. I will abduct you myself this time" he said in a voice full of hatred and determination.
