Chapter 87 A TRIP TO ASPEN
1504words
At first, I was very excited but when I realized that she is just shifting me from one jail to another all my delights goes away instantly.
Since I last talked with Andrew, I am trying my best to ignore him because I am mad at him, He, although trying his best to contact me, he calls me daily also sends me multiple messages but I never opened them because I know that once I will read his messages my heart is going to melt and then I would again become a sacrificed goat by him.
When Ann informed me about my trip to Aspen I feel happy that my surrounding would change but I feel a little sad also that my husband is not going to accompany me there.
Well… Well… Well… Let's not ponder on these things, Just focus on good, Tess.
I was lost in my thoughts, when Miss Celine informs me, "Miss, Let's go. Our cabin is ready."
I nod my head and we walk towards the train, the train is as expected a complete luxury, I had never travelled on a train before and this luxurious train is something very new and refreshing.
Miss Celine leads me to the cabin and as I walk inside the cabin I gasp in shock and surprise, the cabin is huge it has two beds, a table, two chairs, a connecting phone, and also a washroom, how? I was still astonished by it when Miss Celine chuckles beside me, "Miss, Close your mouth."
And I embarrassedly did, "I have never travelled in such a luxurious train." I confess and Miss Celine smiles widely, "Neither do I."
I laugh as she said that, she looks super excited and my heart also seems to get thrilled now. I sit in the chair and look outside, it's daytime and the outside scenery is so beautiful, It's been such a long time since I had enjoyed watching a scenery like this in complete relaxation.
I lean and watch outside for a while, my phone rings and I ignore it because I know except Andrew who else it would be. After that, I hear several dings, but I don't even bother to glance at my phone.
After a while, Miss Celine comes over and asks me for the food, "Miss, I am going to get some food, do you want to come along?" She asks me and I look at her quizzically.
"Food? Here?"
"There is a small restaurant inside the train, we can call a waiter here but I want to explore the train." Miss Celine says like an excited child and I chuckle at her childish behaviour. "Anything that suits my diet," I tell her with a smiling face and she nods her head.
She leaves the cabin after a while, and again I turn to look at the scenery. After some time, my stomach growls from hunger and I decided to go out and look for Miss Celine, as soon as I leave the cabin, I get a mini heart attack when Ann's bodyguard greets me.
"Hello, Miss,"
"Hello…" My voice comes out hoarse, "May I ask where are you going, Miss?" He asks politely.
"I am going to look for Miss Celine and the food, can you tell me where is the restaurant?" I ask him and he nods his head, "Sure, Miss."
He then leads me to the restaurant and I follow obediently, there is a very narrow space from where we keep walking to the other side of the train. I see multiple new faces and somehow I feel happy and joy while seeing new faces around me.
Soon, the young man opens the door for me and informs me, "Miss, this is the restaurant."
"Thank you." I thank him politely and then enter, the place is packed with people and for a moment I feel quite nervous and strange while standing between the crowd. When was the last time I stand between the crowd, I wonder.
I look around and spot Miss Celine, she is laughing and talking, but with whom? I take a few steps towards her and there I notice the old man and stops in my track.
F**k…
That person is Marven Maverick, Aiden's father.
The panic starts to rise in my body as I remember the college days when Aiden used to leave for a whole week to accompany his father on the trip to Aspen to attend the huge film festival every year. If Mr Marven is here then Aiden must be somewhere around too.
It would be my worse luck if I encounter Aiden here on the train and also when I am pregnant with Andrew. No… No… No… He shouldn't know anything about my marriage and pregnancy…
He must know nothing…
I quickly turn and was about to leave when someone holds my wrist and stops me, "Where are you going?"
The voice gives me goosebumps and I know who is this, I wanted to pull away and run But I knew it will take all the people's attention and I clearly don't want it.
I take a deep breath and with a calm and confident face, I turn to look at Aiden. "Hello, Aiden."
"Hello, Tessa. You still remember me, I am honoured." He says with a fake gratitude face and I scoff at him.
"You know you have a bad habit of touching people without their concern." I tell him and then pull away his hand from my wrist showing loathe and disgust from his touch."
"Huh, and what about yours, Tessa? Slapping around people, huh?" He asks with a raised brow, his smile gives a dangerous aura.
No, not now we can't do anything stupid now. For God's sake, I am pregnant, I can't harm my child because of this fool.
"People? I thought it was only you, Aiden." I tell him mockingly, and then act like I am looking for someone. "Looks like Dad has left the restaurant, I need to go now." I then hurriedly walk away from him but that moron never takes the hint as he starts to follow me.
"I never knew your poor father could afford such a luxury trip, huh?" He mocks behind me but I keep walking ignoring him, where the hell that bodyguard has gone? I don't even know the way back to my cabin.
I keep looking around and walking when again that moron holds my arm and force me to stop and look at him, "Why so arrogant, Tessa? Not even bothering to look at me. YOu have changed… Something has changed… Spill it out, otherwise, you know me." He threatens me as he corners me at the wall and my breath hitch.
I know he is no good.
"Aiden, I am not answerable to you, leave me alone," I tell him as confidently as I could.
He stares at me for a moment and then leans closer, "I had told you that you belong to me, only, Tess. You Are Mine." He says each word with force and I frown.
MF I am someone's wife now. I want to yell at him but I restrain myself and just as I was looking for a way to escape, I spot the idiot bodyguard, "Help… Help me."
The bodyguard immediately holds Aiden's shoulder and spins him around, Wow, he is powerful, I look at him amused.
"Is this guy bothering you, Miss?" He asks.
"Yes, take him away from me. He was trying to hurt me." I tell the bodyguard and he nods his head.
"Who the f**k are you?" Aiden scowls at him.
"That's my bodyguard, hired by my poor father," I add intentionally and his brows furrow in displeasure.
The bodyguard takes out his phone and calls someone, soon I see a group of four people, they surround Aiden and Aiden starts to fight, wow… I don't want to miss the action but I had to go back before Aiden comes back to me.
I walk back to my cabin and then look at the bodyguard worriedly, "Those people, what if they got hurt?" I ask because I knew Aiden has been learning many skills and he is best when it comes to fighting with someone.
"Don't worry, Miss. They are all well trained." He assures and I go inside my cabin.
I sit in my place my appetite all gone, and even the joy in my heart is changed by distress. The trip with Ann was already a heavy burden on me and now meeting Aiden like this just added to my worries.
I wonder what else I am going to see on this trip to Aspen?
