In the morning

Roxy started to doubt what was happening at Cooper mansion. Alan had asked Rian to take Roxy to the Morgan mansion.

​​

"I think something's up. I should go and see Arrie at the office." Roxy said while having breakfast at the table.

Rowan wasn't sure what was Alan's plan so he decided to keep things low.

Rian knocked on her head, "Can't you live without seeing your sister? Let Bro and Little Devil have their time. Get that?"

Roxy gave him a dirty look but still agreed.

Amelia knew Rowan had left the bedroom for nearly an hour in the night. She wanted to ask in the morning, after hearing Roxy, she was sure something's going on.

She decided to tag along with Rowan to their farmhouse so that she could talk to him patiently.

On the other end, Alan woke up Aria who wasn't ready to wake up and face reality.

Halfheartedly, she got fresh with Alan but she didn't have a mood for anything.

Aria held his hand, "I need time..."

Alan nodded, "Alright, I'll inform Levi to manage at the company. Shall I stay with you or take you out somewhere for a little time?"

Aria shook her head, "I'll be here. Help me with verifying the DNA report and I am thinking of talking to Pop today."

Alan smiled hearing her. The previous night, he was actually scared of what she might do to herself.

He didn't hide and repeated whatever Rowan had told him. He also mentioned, he had already sent people to country X to verify the authenticity of the DNA report.

Aria passively nodded, "If Brother Calvin is actually my half brother, I will accept it. If he wants to look after Dad's company, I'll check his performance and let him handle it."

Alan sighed and sat on the couch with her, "Let's not weigh Dad because of that day. You had the best father and you grew up under his care, You know him better. No need to lose faith in him."

Aria nodded and embraced him, "Alan, we still have many questions, doubts, and problems to resolve."

Alan knew what she was pointing to and what she meant. "Let's give it a rest for a few days. Everything will be out. If you want to go away from here for some time, do tell me. Talk to me without burying yourself and you are not allowed to question Dad's upbringing. Trust yourself."

Aria nodded and pinched his cheek. She was questioning herself was actually true. She knew Oliver kept her away from work to lower her worries but 'why couldn't it be because he wanted a man to look after his company?'

Both went for breakfast and saw an anxious mother and son. Aria met Sophia first and assured her she was fine.

Calling Saira and Calvin she went to the dining hall, "Brother Calvin, Auntie Saira, have breakfast."

Alan felt like everything was too quiet and slow motion. Depressing air was all around that even maids looked lethargic in their work.

If on the previous days, a small chortle of Aria and her voice could have brought life to everything but he wasn't sure how long it might take for Aria.

He noticed Aria's appetite worsened and she was forcing herself to eat.

Calvin and Saira weren't sure how to start a conversation so they kept looking at Aria's somber face.

Aria spoke after finishing her fill, "Brother Calvin, it might take time to transfer everything to your name but I want this mansion and Emira Villa where I had my childhood. If you want to take over Skyline, I'll access your performance and let you work. If you need anything else, do tell me."

Saira was glad Aria accepted Calvin but the latter was grim. "I didn't reveal this to you because I wanted all this. Arrie, I want nothing. I hope I am clear and no need to transfer anything either."

Aria didn't respond to it and patted Alan's hand which was holding her fist.

"If Dad wanted you to look after the company, you should try."

Calvin shook his head, "He wanted to make it up for me but that doesn't mean he looked down on you or wanted me to look after all these. Stop thinking all that. In fact, forget all this."

Saira patted Calvin's back but he flung her hand off and concentrated on breakfast. Aria and Alan purposefully turned blind eye to it.

Saira returned to the Parker family, Calvin went to work and Alan nagged her before leaving.

Aria did nothing the whole day other than sitting in Oliver's room and watching the photo frames.

She had missed all the calls and messages that day and she didn't even know where her mobile was.

Eva rushed to check on her in the Skyline and reached the Cooper mansion.

She saw Sophia coaxing Aria to eat hence she sent Sophia and fed her a little around three at the noon.

"Arrie, What's going on?"

Aria lightly briefed and asked her, "Do you also think My dad could be selfish? I never felt he thought any less of me than a man. Even though he stopped me from worrying about the company, he always taught me how things are. Am I overestimating myself?"

Eva felt really bad for her. She couldn't understand why Aria had to go through so many things.

To lift her mood, "Hey Goddess, why are you underestimating yourself? If so, how about we create a rampage and check it out?"

Aria smiled resignedly and pulled her on the bed to sit. "Any idea to flip the city upside down? I might feel better after it."

Eva took it seriously and suggested, "Let's go downtown and collect all the proofs of evil things and publish everywhere. The city will cent percent go into chaos."

Aria smiled but didn't comment. It was easy to do but many will thrust for their blood finding them out.

Aria wasn't sure what exactly was weighing her down and she wanted to throw it off quickly.

Eva saw her deep thought and suggested again, "Streetdance? Let's go to Seven and compete. I'm sure you will forget things over there."

Aria's eyes brightened a little. Rian and Noah had introduced that place to them. Four had even tried to face off random people on the stage.

"We haven't practiced anything in like six years."

Eva pulled her out as she spoke, "We will go for a freestyle and there is nothing to worry about losing."

Sophia was happy that Eva could bring her out of the down mood. She informed Alan about Aria to let him take a relief breath.

Aria changed to some funky style clothes which Eva picked for her.

Aria whined, "Top is too short."

Eva looked at Aria in adoration. Ankle length boots, choker, a nose ring, big hoop earrings, shorts, and cropped thin knitted top on trendy sports top.

"Goddess, you rule your title."

Eva didn't let her change the top to cover her waist. She wore red hip hop pants by un-evening the pant hems with a sports top. She checked Aria's collection for an overlay cropped top which had a full sleeve.

Due to Isaac, Eva was in great shape too using the gym with him.
