Finn saw Aria frowning, "What's wrong?"

"Mom wanted a baby boy while Dad always wanted a baby girl. Why do Auntie Saira's words don't match with this?"

Finn wanted her to relax but not go back to that mood. "Alia..."

He saw her flipping pages rigorously checking something. He frowned, trying to take the diary back, "Careful, you will tear it off."

Aria gave the diary and took another one moving away from his hands and kept checking it.

"Alia, let go of it. Stop judging past things... Alia..."

Aria shot on her feet and ran towards the door but she paused and turned to see frightened Finn.

Finn panicked without knowing what happened. He stood up to follow her, he was scared she might hurt herself.

"Alia, what's..." Finn's words gave away and he froze when Aria hugged him.

He had always dreamed of holding her in his arms. His heart beats raised and he wanted to hug her back to live one of his negligible yet a treasured dream of his.

He felt her frame exceptionally small against him while her one hand was wrapped on his shoulder while the other one on his back.

He could smell her hair carrying a fresh floral fragrance while her slender body was balanced on her toes without leaning on him.

He wanted to pull her closer and wrap his hands around her but he knew something wasn't falling in place.

'Why did she hug me?'

He clenched his fist without letting his hand move.

He knew he wasn't close to Aria as much as Noah and Rian. He had seen them hugging but she was never so much close to him and maximum she would hold his arms.

He heard her excitedly say, "Thank you, Finn. You are my savior. Thank you so much."

He knew he shouldn't take advantage of her excitement. He took a deep breath and relaxed in no time. He unclenched his fists and a slight smile hung on his lips.

He gently rubbed her back head. "And what did I do?"

Aria left him in just a few seconds of her hug. Her conscience was pure and smiled at him pulling his cheek.

"Because you are my friend. Because you are here with me now. Because of everything."

"Silly." He very gently flicked on her forehead and earned a small giggle from her.

"Let's go." She held his wrist and started running downstairs confusing him, yet he followed her.

"Alia!"

Aria told Sophia when they reached the living hall, "Aunty, let the things in Dad's room be there, we are going out."

She didn't hear Sophia and grabbed her and Finn's jacket. She shoved him to the shotgun seat of her car and took the driver seat.

She excitedly told everything that's going in her head driving towards the city.

Finn was happy hearing her, happier seeing her smile, hearing her compliment him all the way to the Morgan Industries.

Finn asked after reaching, "Alia, you could have called and informed your husband."

Aria checked time, "He has a meeting in five minutes according to his arranged schedule."

The Morgan security guards were surprised seeing Aria. They didn't stop her and bowed to her as they always did which attracted everyone's attention.

Finn followed her smiling to himself without understanding why she couldn't walk patiently.

Aria who exited on the conference room floor saw Alan walking towards her, that's towards the elevator.

Without caring who and all were behind him, She ran towards him.

Alan was instructing Nathan, "... Send the notice for breaking the clauses and check the progress. If we don't get a proper response, sue them. Investigate why the employees left abruptly too and start the employment process. Since..."

"Young Madam?" Nathan's voice was confused looking at Aria running and Finn walking towards them.

Alan stopped talking and looked up from the tab. Stuffing the tab to Nathan, he quickened his pace, "Honey?"

But Aria jumped to his arm wrapping her hands on his broad shoulder. Alan had to balance himself taking a step back.

Wrapping his arms, he smiled to himself. He just loves her hug which was a sign that she was very happy.

Nathan quickly turned around to keep the directors inside but they were all already out watching them curiously with their mouth wide open.

Finn sighed looking at them. It was a sky to earth difference between how she embraces Alan and him or others.

Aria spoke before Alan, "Alan. I saw you, I saw our pictures." She left him as he helped her stand back on the floor and motioned her hands as she continued to talk.

"You were this small and I was so tiny but I was still big for your smalls arms. We are so cute in those pictures. You know Mom liked photography so there are like a few hundreds of black and white pictures and some are RGB too... Oh yeah, Mom was writing a diary everyday and she had even written about you. You know, my parents had celebrated my 100th day and you attended too. You had told to mom that you will take care of me so she had told, you have to marry me for that and you agreed to that thinking you can play with me every day..."

Aria kept on excitedly narrating short stories holding his hands, looking him in the eye. Alan was hearing her each and every word with all his attention.

Finn already knew about it but he had thought she would tell the important part of their visit. He also realized the important part of her life was actually Alan, past or present or future, it was only him.

Sighing to himself, Finn signaled at Nathan to send the director through another side emergency exit.

Nathan wanted to continue hearing Aria about Alan but he knew it was important to send those directors who were staring at them.

Nodding his head at Finn, he forced them to leave which distracted Aria's attention.

"... ... I'll read those for you. And..." She raised her hand holding a diary. "There is important evidence in this."

Alan quickly brainstormed, "Mom is actually the one night stand of Dad so they got married."

Finn was surprised by Alan's precise guess and Aria smiled.

"Mom was scared of what dad might think because she was also tipsy and she ended up starting everything. Panicked to face him in the morning, she had absconded. When Dad confessed everything, Mom asked him to marry her the same day."

Alan led her to the elevator, cuing Finn to join.

Finn voiced, "If your mom was the one, then Saira Hayek is lying. Is Calvin Parker with her too?"

"Saira Hayek, a fox in a rabbit appearance. She dug her grave finally." Aria smirked.

She never in her dreams thought Saira could be one among three.
