Sold To The Wicked Him

“That would surely look good on her”

Aiden mumble to himself as he saw the final product of the sketches he made. Designed to fit for Lea, he did so even if he know that there is no one to wear that since she is gone. Even after all the things that happened, he can’t help but blame himself for not having the ability to protect her. He was there with her and yet he just did nothing so save her. He was useless. Just like his dear father he loathes so much.

“Son, are you alright?”

Standing from the door, he did not dare enter his son’s room.

“If I told you I wasn’t, will it change anything? I bet not”

Buttoning up his coat, he picks up the flower bouquets on his bed. Looking at the dress that was in front of him, he took a last glance from it.

“Lilith, right?”

He said as soon as he saw the maid not far from where they are.

“Tell them to bring this on the shop. Sold it if one ever wants it”

“Sir, but isn’t…”

Bowing her head, she knew that’s he have no words to say about that matter. If it was Aiden who said it then nothing else shall be done than what he told.

“Yes sir”

“Where are you going?”

Not looking at his father as if he was some kind of an air, the old man did not silence his voice and ask. But just like the answer he accepted to received…

“None of your business”

‘As I thought’

He smiled bitterly and look at the back of his son.

‘Have a safe trip… I know you will visit them again’

Looking at where Lilith was, she was pushing the cart of the dress that Aiden have on his room.

‘That man…’ shaking his head, he can’t understand his son.

“Spending sleepless nights just to finish that design and yet you would let go of it so easily?”

He mumbles as he look at the masterpiece that his son created.

‘The beauty in black… if ever Lea was here… her white skin will surely make this dress be the center of attraction’

…

“Mom… Lea…”

He called as he stands in front of the grave of those two he called. Not having any result in finding Lea, the police give up in finding her. With that piece of cloth they received, the blood was indeed from a human. But the only dna they can find was the piece of hair left on the dress. Even if Aiden does not wish to accept it, there is nothing left for him to state that she is still alive.

“I lost mom… and then I lost you…”

Slightly chuckling, he can’t tell why those things are happening to him.

“Maybe I am a bad person. I am not suited to be a man that you two deserve to be around with… but…”

Putting the bouquet of flowers he had, there was a small smile on his face.

“Look… even this bad person can grow such beautiful flowers… Lea do you think it is just you who can do so?”

He said while laughing at his own joke. Silence, that is the only reply he got.

With the world knowing about what happened to Lea, lots of people wished him to get well. Many people give him their deepest condolences. But even with them doing so, there is still a part of him that does not wish to accept that thing.

“Hah… Mom… you surely is right. Regrets are always in last…”

…

“Do you have anything you like?”

“Hmm… wait… I still can’t decide yet”

Staring at Lea, they are now choosing the clothes they would wear in the Gala.

“No need to worry. Take you time. I can wait”

“Yes you said you can wait, but aren’t you staring at me too much? Huh Mr. Brylle?”

Teasing him, he chuckled

“But I just can’t keep my eyes from yours. To think you would choose the same eyes color as me… but wait. Do you think I didn’t hear that? Mr. Brylle? Why so distant? It is as if I am not your boyfriend”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“But it was so cute. Mr. Brylle”

“Baby, stop it”

That made her stare at him

“What? I can also call you in any name I want to. Or do you prefer honey? Sweetie?”

“Brylle, stop it. There are people listening”

“Just let them listen”

“You…”

Seeing a dress from the outside of the shop, Lea stands up. That made Brylle notice it. Looking at where her eyes was looking, he decided that no matter what happen, that dress shall belong to Lea.

…

“Brylle… I heard you purchase from Aiden’s line. What does it mean? I also didn’t heard you came back if not for your expenses rising. Do you think it is alright for you to not even visit me? And regarding what I said, you should make sure you have a good reason in doing so”

Smiling at his brother he put down a drive. With a big smile on his face he look at his half brother.

“Of course I have a reason in doing so. Even though they priced me in a questionable amount, what I got is much important than that. It is a copy of every sketches they showed me. VIP dresses and suits that is surely not available in public. You still have time. You can make good use of it, brother”

Not saying any words, he look at the drive to see if what he said was true. And indeed, it was a record of the sketches that is from Aiden’s line. A smirk then crept on his face.

“If not for you being useful”

“You would have thrown me? I know. I know”

“That’s not…”

Letting out a deep sigh, he did not say any words and just look at his sibling. The child of her mother from another man. If not for him having the same features as their late mother, surely he will bat no eye with this man’s life/

“Yes, I know. Thank you and I shall go”

“About that, some told me you got a girl with you? How odd”

“Ah, right. She is beautiful. Please, spare her and just give her to me”

A sour can be seen written on Paul’s face. He dare not imagine what Brylle was thinking.

“I don’t care about who that girl is. Even if she is the daughter of the president and whatso. Just, do what you want”

“Yes”

“And in that Gala you will attend”

Waiting for what his brother would say, he can’t help but feel like… no matter what his mouth blurs out, he wouldn’t like it.

“Stay away on the clock”

‘He is up to something again…’

“I just got a notice. It wasn’t my plan… if you would believe”

“Yes…”

…

“Greetings to all of you watching all over the world! Here we are in front of the majestic palace, the face of the royals! Casa de Plemencia!”

Crowds can be seen from afar. As most of them near this place wish to see the real deal in real life. Many known people, from celebrity, political figures, and businessmen are here to attend this big event. That being said, the whole world is watching them, live.

“That is right partner, we can’t wait to see them one by one. I wonder who will be attending today! So by that!”

“Let as all start this GALA event of year XXXX!!”

Somewhere from afar

“Yeah that’s right… I can’t wait for it to start” and his chuckled echoed all over the room as he too a sip on the liquor on he was holding.
