Aria had lost consciousness in Kallias's arms , when she finally opened her eyes, she was lying in bed with an IV drip connected to her arm.
"Hi sleepy head, finally awake " she heard his voice say.
She sat up to see him on the balcony of their room; he was sipping his coffee. It was morning already.
"You must have been tired, you slept through the night," he said, walking back in.
"What happened ?" she frowned.
"As you can see you collapsed. And that was after you accused me of killing Alya, who you claim to be your sister " he let out.
"She was my twin sister " she muttered.
Kallias passed her a glass of water, "I know, I had it checked out . I am just surprised that you look so identical " he sat down. .
"We are twins and what do you mean you had it checked out ?" She took sips of the water.
"How long did you stay up without sleeping or eating?" he asked
She blinked confused.
"In case you didn't notice, the reason you collapsed was from sleep deprivation, malnourishment and under stress " he pointed out.
"That's impossible ...I take care of myself " she lied.
He stared at her, "When was the last time you fully rested or took enough time to sleep ?"
She blinked not answering
He scoffed getting up, "There you have your answer".
"I couldn't sleep ..." She mouthed.
"Huh?" he looked back.
"Every time I closed my eyes I saw her cold still body staring right back at me. With time I just couldn't do it anymore " she muttered
Kallias sighed
"I didn't kill your sister " he said.
"What ..but you're the only person she met with that night " she sniffed.
"I was there but it wasn't me she was meeting" he said
Aria frowned confused.
"Your sister had a boyfriend and it was him she met that night " he explained.
"That's impossible, then why would she marry you if she did ?".
A knock came at the door interrupting them. Kallias walked to the door to see who it was.
The doctor walked in and two of his men in black suits.
"Morning, boss's wife " they bowed towards her.
She blinked nodding, "Good morning " replying.
The doctor came closer, "How do you feel now ?".
"I feel little light headed but my headache is gone" she said.
"You need to take it easy the next few days, you might still feel lightheaded or pass out so take extra care " he advised telling her to eat her meals and take enough rest.
"Thank you doctor " she said.
After talking to Kallias they left soon after.
"Can you tell me more about what you said " she let out watching him walk to the bed.
"Maybe later, right now you need to eat something " he said pushing the covers away.
She frowned, "What are you doing ?".
Kallias bent down sliding his arms around her legs and back ready to carry her out of bed, but she pushed him away holding the bathrobe tightly to her body.
"What is wrong with you, can't you see I'm trying to help you get up. You can't move yet ... remember " he explained.
Aria placed her feet out of bed and glared back at Kallias.
"Who said I can't move .... I'm perfectly fine to move around " she said standing up.
But the dizziness hit her without warning, and she stumbled back to the bed.
Kallias was standing back watching her.
"You know that could have ended badly, almost like late night. You didn't even thank me for catching you" he walked back to her.
He bent down to her face and she leaned back.
"Where you planning to kill me dressed like that " he smiled.
Aria followed his line of sight to see that the robe had come undone, exposing the sexy lingerie she had wanted to hide.
"No ...I ...I..." She stammered holding the robe back together.
He chuckled moving back and left for the bathroom.
A few minutes later he returned seeing her under the covers again.
"Should I carry you or offer my arm for you to lean on" he asked.
Her head popped out of the covers.
"Your bath is ready and since you don't want your husband touching you I need to know how I should help " he said.
Aria sat up pushed the covers away then said.
"Give me your arm and your not my husband " she picked.
He let out his arm chuckling and she slowly held it.
"We got married just yesterday, incase you need to refresh your memory " he muttered leading her to the bathroom.
"Thank you ,dear fake husband" she said closing the door behind her.
"Fake ?" he laughed walking away.
While she took her bath, Kallias's two guards returned after dropping her doctor off.
"Boss we found out the hospital where she was admitted ". one let out.
"And what did the doctor say ?" he asked.
"It's the same poison that killed the boss's father " he reported.
Kallias frowned.
"Find out where the boyfriend is and if possible bring him in until I get back " he ordered.
"Yes, boss ".
A loud bang was heard then followed by Aria cry.
"See yourselves out " he said rushing to the bathroom.
He knocked opening his mouth to call out but then stopped himself as he remembered it wasn't Alya but Aria now.
"Aria are you okay ?" he knocked again.
He got no reply so without waiting he jerked the door open only to see Aria down on the floor butt naked trying to get up from the slippery wet tiled floor.
"You're one clumsy woman" He grabbed a towel drapping it over her and swiftly carried her off the wet floor.
He walked back to the bedroom and sat her down on the bed. He bent forward, grabbed the covers from the bed and covered her up.
"I am not clumsy" she murmured.
"Says the person who I just picked up from the floor " he knelt down in front of her ."Did you break anything ?" he asked.
She shook her head, Aria could feel a sharp pain in her foot but decided not to say anything .
Aria watched him get up go into the bathroom grab more towels and pass them to her.
Grabbed her two suitcases and placed them on the bed .
"Dry up and get dressed " he said heading back to the bathroom and closing the door.
Aria could feel her heartbeat pounding loudly in her chest. He had done everything so fast she had no time to react.
She looked back to see the suitcase on the bed and under her feet he had placed a new pair of slippers for her.
She heard the shower running in the bathroom.
Kallias groaned as he looked down at his erect member between his thighs .
"This isn't good " he uttered gritting his teeth .
