Sold To The Wicked Him

Aiden POV

I was on my way to get out of this shop where Elton likes to purchase his suit. Of all places he went to far to go in here. just because the owner of this shop is someone he knew. And on top of that he even give me a hassle by urging me to go with him.

Who would have thought that this rascal would end up doing some of my jobs just to help me have a time to went out and join him here?

“I am done, I need air. Just how long are you going to choose your suit Elton?”

With a frown on my face, I stand up. But as soon as I face the entrance of this boutique, an angel suddenly appears running towards me.

In glimpse of my thought I almost thought that it was just hallucinations. For night after night what I always see was her face. What I always see was that day…

Sorrow and anger, hatred and all, just seeing her face made all of it vanish in an instant.

That was then I though to myself. How mean would I be if I snatch her away? Will it be bad it I would be the one to get something from him this time around?

“Sir, we have arrived”

Said by the driver.

“Sure, you may leave”

I indeed left Elton in that shop. I will just treat him next time.

A small smile was then carved on my lips. Really, who would have thought that I would get back home with someone like her? I was forcefully dragged to be there and yet…

“I really have many things to thank Elton for”

Caressing her face, even the way she falls asleep no matter where she was, I really doubt she isn’t lea. After all… the two of them really looks the same…

“A twin he says…”

The touch of my hand following the trail of her hair made her slightly move. I was a bit surprise. It made me stop for a bit. But how she wasn’t awake made me chuckle.

Really… she is just like her…

“I doubt he is saying the truth”

Carrying her in my arms, I can’t remember how many times have I ever done this. But nothing changed…

I am certain it is her. She is lea… there is just no way she isn’t… there is just no way.. even if they say that she is not

End of Aiden’s POV

“Master, you came back… with-”

The head maid then hold her lips, surprise is written all over her face.

“My good grace”

She exclaimed. After all, who wouldn’t be surprise to see their master holding the very person everyone thought was dead.

“Lea’s room is still clean as always, right?”

He asked. Enough to make the maid be back on her senses.

“Y- yes. We make sure to clean it daily just like what master told”

Nodding her head, she slightly bow just to let Aiden know that they keep her room clean as always.

“Good”

She still can’t leave her gaze on her. Even some of the maids are peeking from afar. Wondering if that person is really the madame that they used to serve

“Lilith, was it? call her and tell her to attend in Lea’s needs”

Remembering the name of the servant that was serving lea before, Aiden ordered and so the head maid immediately responded.

“Yes my lord, I will call her immediately”

Arriving at Lea’s room, it is still neat and clean. As if no speck of dust can be seen on the surroundings. Putting her down as gently as he could, she looks as if she was having a good dream.

Even with Aiden staring at her, she still won’t wake up.

“Ma- master?”

A sudden soft voice speaks. There was also a rushing steps to be heard a very small while before she arrived. It was Lilith. The very maid that was attending Lea’s needs from before.

Seeing how the very person she was hoping to once again see was there right in front of her very eyes, even Lilith can’t help but have a tears falling down to her cheeks.

Its been so long, so long that she can no longer remember how many days and months have passed by. But no matter how much days pass the calendar, there is always an emptiness in her heart. she knew it wasn’t just her, but among all the other maids, no one can deny the fact that she was the one who is the most affected.

“My.. my lady…”

She started to sob as she stands and look at the bed where Lea was sleeping so peacefully. Indeed, it was Lea.

Aiden dare not talk about it. he knew more than anyone what relief it was to learn about the fact that lea is alive.

But even with Brylle speaking of how she and Lea are different person, Aiden knew something inside him won’t just believe of those things.

“Lilith, I will leave Lea in your care. Call me if you are done changing her clothes”

“Y- yes, m- master”

She replied behind her hicks. Smiling as she could not help but contain the joy that she is feeling right now.

‘The madame is alive… I knew it… she is still alive…’

And soon as Aiden let go of her hand, Lilith rush to kneel on the ground and face Lea.

‘She was hiding from those guards… just what might be her reason in doing so? Did… did Brylle hurt her?’

Aiden asked himself. Still not sure of what really happened. But no matter what the reason may be, he knew full well that it would be hard for him to just let her go back to where Brylle was.

“Agustus, you are back”

He mumbled soon as he saw that very man standing as he waits for him,

“Master, I heard about the news…”

A small smile escaped his lips, still could not help but he glad that Lea is finally back.

“What news?”

Staring at the old man, even if he was the butler of the house he knew too well how Agustus would side his father. There is no doubt, by this time, Menandro probably heard about that news too. Judging by how Agustus was back.

“Is it true that you brought a lady in here?”

Looking at Augustus who said such remarks, a frown started to form in Aiden’s face.

“A lady? Let me correct you with that, Agustus. She is not just a lady. She is the madame of this house”

And him glaring at the butler made Augustus wonder.

“But master- The madame is dea-”

Butr he was not able to finish his words when the young master that he was serving drop his remarks

“I dare you to complete your words Agustus, I dare you”

Silenced was the only thing that Agustus can speak of. Indeed he was truly happy by the fact that the state of the young master he cherish so much is now in a good condition. But the fact that he know is that Lea is gone. And that one that Aiden just brought with him would probably be the one he saw in that GALA.

“But young master, it would be a disaster if they would know you kidnapped the fiance of-”

And again. Aiden called his name.

“Agustus”

“Master, please think before you would act-”

“Agustus!”

With just his glare, it was enough for the old man to keep his mouth be sealed. For he knew that no matter what he speaks of, this young master in front of him wouldn’t listen.

As if he just close his ear to hear anyone’s opinion.

‘This… this is the very first time I ever see him be like to. To know completely what he want and what he doesn’t. unlike the old him who would do just what was needed… he truly did change in many ways. But… is that change for a better?’

Bowing his head, he heard the steps of Aiden being faint. That is when he look at the man’s back. Can’t help but picture the young Aiden who still have lots of things to learn. Those times when we was striving forward to tell his worth.
