Chapter 163- Hardin Is Missing?
HARDIN'S POV
I stopped as my back stiffened and I slowly turned back to her. Her eyes were shining with tears.
I wanted to believe her, I wanted to let that wall fall down but I couldn't. It was a trap and I knew that I wasn't going to hear the end of it if Vera was to see this.
“ Claudia, you're doing fine now I think you should go back to sleep,” I said trying to fight the urge to hold her and at the same time trying my best to walk out of the room.
“ Hardin please can you just hold me till I fall asleep? I'm scared and I keep seeing his face whenever I close my eyes," she said looking up at me with her beautiful eyes, the eyes that were so beautiful and I used to want to stare at them forever.
Without thinking I found myself walking to the bed as I climbed on it like someone who was bewitched.
“ Thank you Hardin," she whispered as she snuggled into my chest, holding unto me like she didn't want to let me go.
“ Go to sleep," I said as I ran my fingers through her hair,
“ You're such an angel Hardin, I wish that things would have been different between us, I wish I didn't leave," she said as I looked down at her,
Her eyes went to my lips as her hand slowly came to my face, touching me lightly and I couldn't help but close my eyes enjoying the feeling of her hand on me.
My body tingled when I felt soft lips on mine and I opened my eyes to see Claudia pressing her lips to mine, I tried to pull away but it felt like I was glued to her.
She moved closer to me as she wrapped her hands around me pulling me closer.
Just like I was in a trance I found myself pressing her on the bed, getting on top of her as I continued kissing her. I've been craving this, waiting for the day I'd hold her like this, kiss her like this, I've dreamt of this day for a long time.
I found myself kissing down her neck as I left light bites on her neck and she threw her head back in pleasure.
Claudia. My Claudia.
I kissed down until I got to the buttons of her pajamas and then I started undoing the button.
My mouth watered at the sight of her milky breast as I pulled the shirt off. I couldn't wait any longer, I took her nipple into my mouth and she moaned, dragging her fingers through my hair.
That encouraged me to bite on it more as I sucked and licked her nipple.
Soon enough clothes were flying in the room as I savored her lips as our tongues moved in a slow dance and soon our bodies joined. Body to body, sweating, groaning, her moans filling the room.
I gave a deep groan as I came into the condom before I pulled out of her and fell on the side of the bed.
I felt good for some reason.
She drew closer to me as she mumbled incoherent words but I didn't get what she said and I was too tired to say a word.
I soon fell asleep with Claudia in my arms.

ARIANA'S POV
The story my grandpa told me last night just didn't make sense to me, not the story but the fact that they would blame him for something that wasn't in his control. It wasn't his fault that one of them died.
When you get your hands dirty you should expect anything.
“ Thank you for the food, I have to go now, I've got a very busy day at the office today," I said as I got up pushing the chair backward and stepping out.
“ You barely ate anything," my Mom said as she looked at my plate and then turned to me with worry in her eyes.
“ It's nothing much I just don't want to full my stomach so early, I'll eat something during lunch," I said and she nodded,
“ Are you sure? You hardly even touched anything," Sasha said,
“ Come on guys, I'm not a baby, I know how to take care of myself and I'm going to eat later,” I said as I took my bag and was about to make an escape before they scolded me further.
" Remember what we talked about last night Ariana, remember your promise?” my grandpa said and I nodded.
He didn't need to know that I wasn't going to keep to my promise.
I needed to get to the bottom of this, I couldn't allow my family to continue to live in fear.
I got into my red Ferrari as I started the car and drove out of the mansion. I still had a score to settle with my assistant.
I stopped and parked the car in front of his house as I stepped out and walked to the door.
I rang the doorbell and it ran for some time before the door opened.
“ Oh, good morning Miss Miller," his best friend Vera said with a smile as she moved aside for me to enter.
“ Good morning Vera, please call me Ariana,” I said and she chuckled,
" Nah, you're my boss, I can't call you by your name," she said and I couldn't help but laugh.
“ Well, if that's what you want, but when you feel comfortable you can call me Ariana," I said and she just shrugged,
“ Where's Hardin?" I asked,
" I wonder. He's still sleeping and it's strange, he hardly wakes up late.” she said as she scrunched her brows in confusion.
“ Are you sure he's okay? Maybe he's sick,” I said in worry as she started making her way to his room and I followed.
" He was doing okay last night before going to bed unless…” she stopped what she was going to say as she reached Hardin's door and then she knocked but we didn't get any response.
“ Are you sure he isn't sick?" I asked as she knocked once more and since there wasn't any response she opened the door but to my surprise Hardin wasn't in his room.
" Hardin,” Vera called but still did not get a response.
" Don't tell me…" before she could complete what she wanted to say she was matching out of his room as she walked to a door and pushed it open and right there was a shock I didn't expect to find so early in the morning and even worse;
It felt like my heart was squeezed out of my chest.
