His Domineering Lover

Adrian didn't remember the girl he met in Chicago. So, it was impossible for him to know that that girl had a major crush on him.

Early in the morning, Adrian took Aleigha to the police station to prove his innocence in this farce.

Aleigha was eager to know what that girl wanted.

They arrived at the police station and explained their intention. The policeman who greeted them was one who had gone to the Xiao's last night. Adrian was a bigshot in City A. So his appearance in the police station became exclusive news immediately.

When Adrian walked out of the station, the reporters blocked his way at the door.

A trifle was exaggerated into breaking news.

Back in the company, the assistant came to ask for instructions about what happened today.

"Leave those news alone."

Aleigha refreshed the page on her phone, and news about Adrian's appearance in the police station became front-page headlines.

"Why? What is in your mind?"

"You are an important celebrity in City A, and it is known to all that where your company is."

"But she alarmed the police, and there were reporters today."

"Could this be an coincidence?"

Adrian was wordless. He looked at Aleigha on the chair with a smile.

"Miss Gardner, I know what to do."

The assistant walked out of the office.

"I will go on a business trip tomorrow morning. It will take two days. Would you like to join me?"

"Where are we going?"

"Australia. Have some fun together?"

Aleigha tilted her head and nodded in agreement after thinking for a moment.

Aleigha went home to pack up at about five o'clock.

Adrian had a business dinner at night. After washing up, Aleigha googled travel strategies for Australia.

A series of quick knocks on the door was heard.

"Miss Gardner, Miss Gardner, are you awake?"

Sofia shouted anxiously outside the door.

Aleigha got up in a hurry but stumbled over a stool leg. Immediately, she tried to protect her stomach subconsciously.

In an instant, she fell to the ground and let out a groan.

Fortunately, there was a carpet, and her back touched the carpet first. She and her baby were safe.

Sofia heard the noise and felt worried. Instantly, she called two servants over to break in.

Aleigha just got up from the ground. And the breaking in stunned her.

"Don't tell Adrian. I'm fine."

"Miss Gardner, it's all my fault. I was worried about you. Are you alright?"

Sofia rushed up. She was so worried that tears welled up her eyes. She helped Aleigha sit on a chair.

"I am fine, really. Don't tell Adrian; otherwise, he'll be worried."

Seeing the tears in Sofia's eyes, Aleigha comforted her.

"Miss Gardner, I am panicking. There is a man at the gate, covered all over with blood."

"Quick, lead the way."

Aleigh was anxious to go downstairs. It was creepy and weird that a man, covered all over with blood, stood at the door of the Xiao's in the still of the night. Sofie and two servants helped Aleigha downstairs. They opened the door, and Phoenix dashed in.

"Miss Gardner, are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Where is he?"

Phoenix glanced at Sofia and asked doubtfully, "I was out and saw nobody."

"Just now, I went to check the screen as the doorbell rang. A man dripping with blood appeared and freaked me out."

"It's weird. I was patrolling around but didn't find anyone suspicious."

Phoenix looked at Sofia with doubts in his eyes.

"Well, maybe Sofia made a mistake. Phoenix, please be on guard."

Then, Aleigha went upstairs and asked the servants to stay behind.

Back in the bedroom, she went through the whole room with caution and felt relieved when finding nothing dubious.

However, the door lock didn't work due to the breaking in. Aleigha decided to rest in the study before Adrian was back.

Adrian came back at around 11

o'clock, Phoenix reported the fuss tonight Adrian took it as a prank and asked Phoenix to strengthen the management.

Adrian went to the study to find his sweetheart in a sound sleep. The sight of Aleigha refreshed Adrian.

He bent over to carry Aleigha up.

"You're back?"

"Well, sleep on. I'll take you back to our room."

Adrian found the broken lock at the door and felt suspicious.

He held his question till the next morning.

In fear that Adrian would be alarmed, Aleigha lied that Sofia broke the door when she was sleeping.

Adrian always trusted Aleigha, so he took her story this time.

At noon, he took Aleigha to Australia by a private jet.

As soon as they landed, Adrian left with his clients. Aleigha did not go with him because of fatigue. She stayed with the assisant.

At noon, Aleigha was awoken by a burst of phone ringing. Then, she picked up the phone.

Only sighs could be heard on the phone, not a word.

"Who are you? Why don't you speak?"

There was no response.

Aleigha checked the screen to find that they were unidentifiable numbers.

She intended to ask another question, but the caller hung up the phone suddenly.

Holding the phone, Aleigha looked grim.

"Miss Gardner, what happened?"Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

The assistant came in.

"Nothing. A crank call."

"Would you like to grab some food?"

The assistant asked in a low voice. Before Aleigha answered, the phone in her hand rang again.

"Aleigha, where are you?"

"Emilee, what's wrong?"

"Isaias is gone. Aleigha, I had searched for days but failed to find him. Can you help?"

On the other end of the phone, Emilee is anxious.

"Are you in a fight? Or something else? Did Isaias get mad?"

"No! We are good. That day, he helped me buy stuff in a store. Then,

ten minutes passed, and he disappeared." "Emilee, calm down. I'll send some helpers over. I am. Australia with Adrian, and we will go

in

back in two days."

"Okay, Aleigha, thank you. I have to go look for him now."

Isaias, who was always by Emilee's side, suddenly disappeared?

Aleigha had a bad presentiment. She tried to persuade herself that she was oversensitive, but there were too many enemies around her.

Could any of them try to hurt Emilee? But Tanner wouldn't allow this to happen.

With Tanner around, she was not worried about Emilee's safety. Perhaps, Isaias wanted to be alone for a while.

This thought soothed Aleigha. Whatever, Aleigha contacted Mill to trail Isaias.
