Chapter 887 - New aliases? (1/2)
As much as Sarah was encouraging in front of others, Aiden noticed her mood drop when they were alone later that evening.
”Hey, it will be OK.”, he pulled her in his embrace.
”I am sorry.” Sarah sighed. ”You were not even part of this and now there is a possibility that Nick might expose you as Omega.”
”Why are you sorry? I am the one who exposed myself to them. Remember? And maybe it's time to start over. We can start with new aliases and work as a team.”
”We are already working as a team.”, Sarah reminded him.
”We are so much more than a team. We are a family. I was thinking for some time now… I like Erebus.”
Sarah's eyes widened in surprise.
Aiden smiled and caressed her cheek while speaking: ”I find it to be very appropriate. Two Gods of darkness were born out of Chaos and came together to create light and everything else. You are the light of my life, and only you can be my Nyx… Erebus and Nyx had numerous children, and we already have a full house of them.”
He lifted Sarah up and carried her to the bed. ”That said, we can always add few more.”
”I…”, Sarah was at a loss of words. She was so touched by the fact that he understood and granted her silent wish for them to be Nyx and Erebus, that she completely neglected that he placed her on the bed and his hands are reaching for her pants (to remove them).
”What?” He looked into her face with a slight frown as soon as he noticed that she is not responding as expected.
She was almost tearing up. ”Thank you. You are wonderful.”
”Hey, hey…”, Aiden knocked lightly on her forehead. ”Don't go sappy on me now. I was more going for passionate…” He looked at her playfully for a second, but then he confirmed that Sarah's mood is not matching his.
Sarah thought how he is adorable and amazing and hers. ”You… I don't know what I did to deserve a man like you by my side.” She hugged him tightly and sniffled.
Aiden exhaled in resignation (and frustration) and hugged her back. ”OK. Sappy it is.”
…
Late next evening, Sarah is with Aiden in their room, initiating a video conference.
JoAnna and Jeff are on one window, and Sophia on another.
”Before anyone asks, Felix is still sleeping. Since everyone else is here, let's wrap this quickly so I can join my husband in the bed. What is so important that it can't wait for you two to come back from France?”, Sophia asked and blinked few times before adding: ”You are coming back, right?”
”And it better be important if I need to wake up at seven in the morning for this!”, JoAnna yawned and narrowed her eyes at Sarah. ”Did you forget about the time difference when you asked us to join at this time?”
Sarah rolled her eyes. ”Yes, we will be back in a week. And yes, it's important.”
Sarah and Aiden told them that Ellie is helping Jasper.
”She already has 8% of K Industries. All her KMY stocks are sold, so we can only assume that she will buy whatever she can for K Industries.”, Sarah told them. ”And another thing is that Ellie is looking into Jasper's frozen assets and resources.”
