"Aidan, we have to end all of this," Zia said firmly, she stretched out her hand to hold back Aidan who was approaching her.
However, the man did not heed these few words from her and chose to voice out his own.
"Want to take a bath together?" Aidan asked, smiling as if the call from Diego had never happened at all.
"Aidan, I am serious," Zia said sternly, she raised her head and immediately regretted it because she could see this man's happy face and had to bite her lip to be able to defend her decision. "We have to end all of this."
Aidan then took a deep breath, not knowing what else to do with Zia or how to respond now, so he grabbed her hand that was holding his chest.
"Zia, you have said that sentence a dozen times already," Aidan stated the facts.
Zia had intended to end their relationship a long time ago, even when she heard that Aidan was going to marry Giana, but as days went by, they found that they didn't want to separate.
Now here they were, spending the night, sharing warmth with one another regardless of their status out there, which made this relationship a disgrace.
In this hotel room, where there were only the two of them, Aidan only wanted himself and Zia, not Aidan as the heir to the elite company of the Smith family, or himself as Giana's husband, as the public knew.
"But, this time I am serious," Zia said, her voice trembling a little, but she was staring straight at this man in front of her. "I can't stay in a relationship like this Aidan. This relationship will end sooner or later."
"Why do we have to end this relationship?" Aidan looked at Zia cluelessly.
"Why do we have to end this relationship?" Zia repeated Aidan's words fiercely. "You don't think I intend to be your mistress forever, do you?" she narrowed her eyes.
And, a crystal clear answer could be seen in Aidan's eyes. This is an undeniable fact.
"I want to have a real relationship." Zia shook off Aidan's hand that was holding hers.
"But, what we have is real. My feelings for you are real," Aidan insisted.
It was just that Zia didn't listen to him, she then rephrased her words. "I want to show the guy I am dating to my friends as well as my family, I want to start thinking about the future and build a family too. You are so selfish if you think you are going to keep me forever in this affair. It is not fair to me, or to you and even more so, for Giana." Zia could feel the pain in her heart when she said the name Giana.
Aidan's jaw clenched tightly when he heard his wife's name. "You think Giana will care if I go out with another woman?" Aidan's voice sounded like a whisper. "You think she doesn't have any affairs out there?"
"That is your business," Zia said, gritting her teeth to hold back the tears that almost fell down her cheeks. Just this time, Zia wanted to be strong for herself and get out of this toxic relationship. "And I don't want to continue this anymore, this is our last meeting."
Zia then pushed Aidan's body away and intended to hurry into the bathroom, she didn't want Aidan to see her crying and shaking her decision again.
It was really hard to leave the person you really love when they loves you too, it was just that sometimes situations wouldn't allow them to be together.
Aidan swiftly pulled Zia into his arms and rested his chin on the girl's shoulder, hugging her from behind. He knew that this relationship always hurt Zia, but he didn't want to let her go. "What can I do to make you want to stay with me?" Aidan asked in Zia's ear, his voice like someone who was in despair.
Zia was silent, her dark eyes staring at the sturdy arm that hugged her waist. "Divorce Giana and marry me."
Aidan sighed. He had expected that Zia would put this condition forward and he also knew why he couldn't do it. It was not that he didn't love Zia, but there are other serious reasons he should consider if he were to end his marriage to Giana.
Their two families were too strong and if anything happened to both heir, there would be a big outcome that they needed to overcome and that would be the ugliest things that they had to face.
The consequences were too dire for both family and company.
"Give me another condition," Aidan said regretfully. "You know that I can't do that."
Zia should have known that Aidan would not comply with her request, but still, the pain she felt was not any less.
Then, with one violent jolt, Zia released herself from Aidan. "Then, I can't see a future for both of us," she said coldly before she went into the bathroom and stayed there until an hour had passed and the water in her bath had turned cold.
However, when Zia finally walked out she didn't feel any better.
On the balcony, Zia found Aidan on the phone, discussing business matters with someone, and took the moment to quickly leave the room without Aidan knowing.
==============
Ramon's words while they were having breakfast, in reply to Alena, were still ringing in Hailee's ears, and she couldn't help but feel a little awkward and embarrassed.
But, not in a bad sense.
Hailee liked how Ramon replied to Alena, but it was the meaning behind his sentence that made this girl have to bite her lip so as not to smile like a fool.
