Aileen pushed forward, trying to corner Zia and make her understand that she already knew something that Zia had been trying to cover up.
However, Zia still couldn't realize her intentions, because what was in her head right now was annoyance that Aileen had been so insolent to her and so dared to fight her openly like this.
She still looked confused in response to Aileen's drastic change in attitude, but even so, the way Aileen was cornering her made Zia feel uncomfortable and she instinctively pushed her away.
Luckily, the push was not so strong that Aileen couldn't get an excuse to fall, jeopardize her 'pregnancy' which could put Zia in trouble.
In this case, Aileen still needed herself to be pregnant in order to tie knot with Theodore, or else she would be dumped right there and then. Therefore, Aileen couldn't use that trick now.
"Get away from me, you are disgusting," Zia growled, still not realizing what kind of information Aileen had in her hands to make Zia gasp. Something only she and Aidan knew.
Because of that urge, Aileen had to take a few steps back from Zia. "Me? Disgusting?" Aileen snorted and mockingly asked Zia while pointing at her. "Then what do you call yourself?"
Zia narrowed her eyes as she began to feel that Aileen was speaking with a double meaning in her sentence. What she meant with that?
"What do you mean?" Zia asked in a displeased tone. "Stop talking in riddles and tell me directly what you have to say." Zia's voice was low, but deadly. Her large eyes were focused on Aileen.
However, Aileen responded in the same way. She folded her arms across her chest and snorted sarcastically.
"What do you call a woman who seduces a married man?" Aileen looked at Zia deeply to see the changes in the expression of the woman in front of her. "You feel disgusted by me because I have stolen Theodore from Hailee, then should I spit on you for having an affair with Aidan Smith behind his wife's back, Zia?"
Instantly Zia's expression changed. Her eyes widened in disbelief and her lips parted slightly as the words slid off Aileen's lips. Her heart was beating very fast and dozens of questions echoed in her head and made Zia have an argument with herself. Her eyes became unfocused.
Did she know? Did Aileen know about her relationship with Aidan? How did she know?
Zia firmly believed that she had closed all her affairs with Aidan Smith. She absolutely believed that no one had told any third party about their secret relationship.
Therefore, there was no way Aileen could tell about them being together.
Zia definitely wouldn't tell Aileen about this even if a knife was pointed at her, so was it possible that this was Aidan's doing? However, Aidan didn't know Aileen. They didn't know each other, right?
Meanwhile, Aileen was enjoying every little change in Zia's demeanour that happened in the span of a few seconds. It was great to be able to see how Zia gasped and took a deep yet sharp breath when she heard Aileen's statement just now.
"Why? Feeling surprised?" Aileen asked in a very obvious scorn. "Are you confused about how I came to know all this?" She asked again.
Zia didn't know what to say. Should she lie and deny it all? But, if Aileen really did find out, wouldn't that be a waste of effort? And she would look stupid for not admitting it...
Zia gritted her molars so harshly that she felt like she had crushed her own teeth.
"You want to know how I know this?" Aileen asked in a lower voice, nothing more than a whisper, then took a few steps forward to approach Zia who still couldn't believe what was going on. "You must be very curious."
Aileen seemed to really enjoy this game and allowed Zia to feel more of her fear. It has been a long time since Aileen wanted to treat her cousin like this and now her dream had finally come true.
Still in the same tone of voice, Aileen continued her words. "I will tell you then." A smile that was cynical and meaningful curled on the corner of Aileen's lips. "Because Aidan mentioned your name over and over again when he spent a night with me."
Aileen chuckled when she saw how Zia's body started shaking as her eyes stared at Aileen with various emotions raging through her mind, which were well reflected in her eyes.
"Well ... I was quite disappointed that he said your name instead of mine, but I think we both enjoyed the night quite well." Aileen shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly, as if it wasn't a big deal for her. Then she tossed her hair back as she said again, "You see? I am very fair. When I told your secret, I also told you mine. Then you wouldn't mind, would you? Don't ever tell Theodore about this? After all, we are getting married in less than a month," she pleaded her in mocking tone.
Aileen squinted her eyes flirtatiously and tucked Zia's hair behind her ear, like someone who was very considerate, but Zia slapped her hand away from her.
"I guess you wouldn't mind keeping this a secret, right?" Having said that, Aileen walked away with light steps, leaving Zia alone there, struggling with her own frantic thoughts.
