Possessive Companions

Chapter 45

Asya gave Darren a glass of water, after the man finished his meal. Darren smiled happily in his heart. It felt very happy to be treated with this kind of attention by Asya.

The girl cleared everything up, then looked at Darren. He was still curious as to why Darren was smiling. And the man promised to tell her.

"Now, come on, say! What made you smile when you walked in the lobby?"

"Later. There's more important things I want to say."

"What?"

"I think Hendra is back to throwing a tantrum."

Asya's face instantly turned pale upon hearing Hendra's name. A lot of things happened to him and Aurel that Hendra was masterminding, and not all of them are known to Darren.

Darren caught that expression. He was sure that there were still many things he did not know after his graduation.

"You don't worry. This is still my estimate. Alisha is often bullied by a student named Hardi. The kid's clan is the same as Hendra's. That's what makes me suspicious if he's told Hendra."

Asya only fell silent, and hoped inwardly if all of Darren's suspicions were wrong. Seeing Asya's worried face, Darren tried to calm her down by shifting the topic of their conversation.

"Do you still want to know why I smiled in the lobby?"

Asya looked at him and nodded slowly. "What's the reason?"

"Just a simple thing. I imagine walking in the lobby with my wife later."

His pale face changed into a surprised expression. Asya's body stiffened hearing Darren's reply. A cold Darren could imagine walking with his wife. Surprised him.

"She's very lucky to have you later." Reply Asya. He smiled, but his eyes could not lie. There was sadness coming from those eyes.

"Maybe the opposite." Reply Darren.

"What... Are you ready to get married?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"His partner?"

"There is."

Asya. He quietly took his breath in. It hurts to hear the word 'there's been' coming out of Darren's mouth.

So, all this time, I was like a fool who always tried to get Darren closer to Naomi, while Darren had chosen his own partner.

"Ashya?"

"Hmm?"

"Why?"

"Huh? E-nothing. Oh yeah, let's get it to Aurel's?"

"of course. Come on!"

Asya nodded and was about to grab her place to eat and the drinking glass to take out. However, Darren quickly prevented it.

"Let them take care of it later."

Asya said then walked out with Darren. The two entered the elevator which then moved towards the bottom floor.

The elevator stopped, and both of them got out. Just a few steps away from the elevator, Darren and Asya stop and are transfixed when a boy runs towards Darren.

"Lad..." He shouted, then hugged Darren.

Asya and all the employees who heard it were shocked. It's big news that Darren was called Papa by a little boy.

Asya's eyes glazed over. But he could not reach a conclusion. He still wanted to see Darren's reaction to the boy. Same with the employees.

Everyone held their breath. They thought Darren would push and yell at the boy who dared to hug him. However, all widened their eyes when their minds were refuted by Darren's current attitude.

The man squatted down and aligned his body with the boy.

"Father, Dion misses Papa." Said the boy, tightly hugging Darren's neck.

"I miss you too."

Tests... Asya's tears just dripped. Darren's reply to the boy confirmed his expectations.

Asya's eyes were distracted at the woman standing in front of him, not far from them. The woman is beautiful and graceful. And one important thing, he was very similar to the boy who hugged Darren.

Is this the woman you want to make a wife for? She's very pretty. He's compatible with you too. Why does it hurt when I think about it. Inner Asya.

The boy took off his embrace, making Darren also take off his embrace. He cupped Darren's face and kissed her forehead.

"Mama said, Papa will accompany me to dinner today. Is that true?"

Darren smiled at him. "Yes. That's right."

The child's face immediately smiled brightly. She was so happy to hear Darren eating with her.

"Then, come on! I'm so hungry."

Darren nodded, then turned to Asya. The girl quickly wiped away her tears.

"Asians..."

"Go! I suddenly have business in the office." Asya Say. He then smiled at the boy.

"I'll go first." He said, then left Darren just like that.

Darren could only stare at Asya's back which started to drift away. After the girl's body disappeared, Darren circulated his gaze to all of his employees who witnessed the incident. His gaze made all the goosebumps. It's as if he's saying 'Don't let this leak out there. If that happens, you're done!'.

"Yes." Yeah."

Darren immediately grabbed the child, and walked along together. When facing each other with the girl in front of him, the look in his eyes turned cold. The girl smiled sweetly at him, but not a single smile appeared on Darren's lips. They then went together to the place to eat as the child wanted.

Gara's private jet landed perfectly. Gara, Alula, Irene and Edo came down and approached their daughter's son who was taking time to pick up.

Gara and Edo's faces were so fresh. Same with Alula and Irene.

"Dad, Mother." Alisha hugged her parents.

Beside them, there was Asya who also hugged Edo and Irene. Even though the events of the afternoon still stuck in his mind, he still showed his best smile in front of his parents. He did not want to ruin their happiness with the sadness he felt.

"How are you doing here, son?" Irene asked, peeping at her son's forehead.

"Good, Ma, Pa." Reply Asya.

"Uncle, aunt." Say hello to Alisha to the couple. She hugged Irene. Edo who had stretched out his arms waiting for the embrace of Alisha also took a breath, patient.

"Where's Darren?" Ask Gara, after Darrel took off his embrace.

"Say, he has a little business. So, don't come get me." Reply Darrel.

He must have spent his spare time on that little boy and his mother. Inner Asya.

Because just nod. They then rushed towards the parking lot and entered their respective cars.

Long enough to travel, Darrel and his family arrive. Just as Darrel drives the car into the garage, Darren's car enters the gate. He also kept his car in the garage.

"Where are you from? Why so long?" Ask Darrel. Alisha and her parents entered the house first.

"There's business to be done."

Darrel just nodded. He did not ask any further and invited Darren in.

After cleaning up, they enjoyed dinner together. Then gather in the family room.

Alula who felt exhausted said goodbye to sleep first. Alisha too. So that Gara and his two sons remain. Darrel looked at his twin. Getting a nod from Darren, Darrel looked at his father.

"Dad." Call him, make Gara look.

"Hmm?"

"There's something Darren and I want to talk to you about."

"Tell me."

"Can it be in the workspace?" Darren interrupted.

She looked at her two sons. Seeing the serious faces of the two, Gara got up and walked towards her study. Both followed Gara.

They sat together on the sofa after closing the door and locking it. Neither Darren nor Darrel wanted Alula or Alisha to know what they were talking about.

"What's wrong?" Darren and Darrel are a little down. But before long, Darren's body returned to a firm sitting position. He looked at his father and started telling him everything. Gara's hands clenched strongly hearing Darren's story. He was furious when he found out that his daughter had been subjected to such ill-treatment.

Drrtt...

Darrel immediately grabbed his phone and answered a call that turned out to be from Axel.

"Hallo."

"Hallo. What's up Axel?"

"Gue just wanted to say, don't let Alisha out of group work tomorrow. If Alisha leaves, accompany her with the bodyguard. He's a bunch of the same Hardi."

"Yes. Thanks for the info."

"One more. Lately, Alisha is often in terror. I suspect the culprit is also Hardi. I'm still in the process of investigating. You guys should also investigate the matter."

"Terror? Why are you just telling me now? I've..."

Tuout... Tuout... The call was decided just like that by Axel.

"Ck. Been killed again." Decak Darrell.

Gara and Darren who also heard him held back the anger. This time, the information they had obtained was truly shocking.

"Who's Axel?" Ask Gara.

"Friends Alisha. He's the one who always helped Alisha." Answer Darrel.

"Command our people investigate all this. Bring the culprit to me." I got up and rushed out of the room.

"Dad's going to sleep?" Ask Darrel.

"Walking to Alisha."

"Ask this?" Ask Darren.

"Just look at it."

After saying the destination to Alisha's room, Gara came out and rushed to her daughter's room. He did not expect, his daughter experienced this, and to the point that she did not know anything.

She pushes through Alisha's bedroom door, which turns out to be unlocked. The net caught the princess asleep on the desk chair.

Gently, Gara carried Alisha and laid the child on the bed. After covering her, Gara kissed her forehead full of affection.

"I'm sorry Dad." He murmured slowly, then moved out of the room.
