In the morning, Aaron woke up to the alarm when the early morning sun rays were hitting the glass wall penetrating inside the room causing him to squirt his eyes to adjust to the brightness and the sun rays falling on his face.

He opened his eyes to face the Little Cuddle Bun in his arms and smiled. Unbothered to the alarm which rang and the sun rays kissing her delicate skin, Aarvi was sleeping peacefully.

Seeing no dark circles on her petite face after a good long sleep, Aaron was sure his Cupcake doesn't need makeup anymore to hide her dark circles. She was so flawless he found no mark or pores on her skin but a radiant healthy glow that captivates the eyes of onlookers and makes them jealous.

Aaron gently poked her soft cheek as he admired the beauty.

Would she be the same confident if her scars hadn't healed? He wasn't sure if that matter to his Cupcake but he had never stopped taking care of her wounds and was also thankful for his grandfather Jordan Rivas for getting him the creams to heal her wounds and scars.

He couldn't forget how Shawn had forced his grandfather to get the best medicines by using all his connection to get his Little Heart back the same. Probably even more beautiful and glowing.

Hence by the time Aarvi woke up from comatose, she had no scars on her face excluding faint marks on her limbs which eventually cleared.

But there was one scar that hadn't completely healed. The scar on her chest where the bullet had pierced and he had operated. He was able to lighten it but there was a pale scar when he saw it last time.

It has been more than one and a half years so he wasn't sure if she used the cream he had given her or the scar was still present.

"Ahhh.." Aarvi whined in the grievance for disturbing her from the sleep when his lips pressed on her cheek... Okay, little harder controlling himself from nibbling it.

Aaron tried to wake her up, "It's morning. Don't you want to exercise?"

Aarvi yawned against his chest before slightly opening her eyes to look at him, "Hmmm?"

Aaron assumed she didn't hear him properly due to grogginess and was ready to explain but Aarvi pinned him on the bed and went on top of him.

"..." He will have to kill himself if she seduces him early in the morning.

Should he get off from bed before waking her up? What if she wakes up early and wakes him up to seduce? Aaron's thoughts crazily ran when her soft upper body laid on him and his face covered with her hair.

Moving her hair away, he took time to realize she was reaching for the bedside table. He chided himself for letting his mind wander off early in the morning.

Feeling too lethargic to get up, Aarvi grabbed the remote controller of the electronic drapes and sighed flopping on Aaron.

Aaron doubted if she fell asleep when she didn't move for a few seconds and then she moved and pressed all the buttons to cover all the glass walls before the remote controller slipped from her hands to the floor on the Persian rug.

"I am tired now." She mumbled having no power to get back to the position or take the remote from the floor.

Aaron chuckled hearing her, 'Doozy.'

He understood Aarvi isn't an early bird, it was her nightmares that were keeping her awake. Now that she got sufficient sleep, he got to see her laziness more than her cat Laze.

He carefully pulled her back to position and heard her mumble groggily, "It's night again. Sleep."

"Huh?" Aaron's sleepy mood didn't catch her words right away.

She snuggled closer without opening her eyes as she mumbled to his confusion, "I heard sleeping next to someone... (Yawn)... you love helps you live longer." She pushed her hand under his arm to wrap around him before burying herself in his embrace to sleep.

Aaron's jaws had dropped how effortlessly she went back to sleep as the drapes covered the sunlight from entering inside by leaving the room in the dimness.

He didn't want her morning routine to change even though she will get ample sleep with him. Being agile physically and her breathing exercise is very crucial for her body and health.historical

His hand gently caressed her back head as he spoke, "From tomorrow, we will get back to.."

He didn't get to continue and Aarvi cried hearing him, "Ahhh.. Little more time."

Aaron sighed and chose to talk at the breakfast table and went back to nap without knowing Aarvi meant what she said.

After fifteen minutes, Aarvi woke up to see Aaron sleeping without a single flinch on his face. "Sleeping beauty!" Aarvi exclaimed under her breath looking at his emotionless face.

Supporting her elbow on the pillow, resting her head on her knuckles, she watched him curiously to witness even a small change on his face but it didn't come even after ten minutes.

Hence her eyes wandered on his face, his brows weren't thick but perfect size with a relaxing arc. Her finger brushed his lashes wondering if her lashes are long or his. Last time she had held his nose to wake up so she thought of a different way.

Inching closer watching his eyes, she pecked on his lips very carefully and softly. Then she murmured, "Sleeping Beauty! Your princess kissed you. Wake up." Her fresh mellow voice filled his ears.

Aaron who had woken up when a finger brushed his lashes let out a chuckle hearing her words. 'Ahh, he did an excellent jon by not giving out a clue.'

She didn't know he was awake. Thinking he was going to tease her, she shifted the roles, "You became slothful as soon as you got your hands on Swan Princess. How are you going to serve the Princess? Tsk, Tsk."

Aaron: "..."

Before his hands could grab hold of her, she jumped off the bed and chuckled while running out after sticking her tongue out at him.

Aarvi had no plans for the day despite knowing wasting a day isn't suitable for the plans and Leon Harmon might return on the weekend but she wanted to wait for Dylan Harmon's move.

Dylan Harmon had seen her when she alighted her car and he had passed by her when he drove the car. She wasn't sure if he really noticed her or ignored her.

As much as she knows the overly attentive Dylan Harmon, if not others, he can't ignore her. The one who she couldn't easily come to conclusion is Dylan Harmon due to various reasons.

And the engaging part was she can't predict his plans and actions easily. He had indirectly helped her escape from Leon Harmon in the hotel and he didn't lay a finger on her when she was beaten black and blue but he watched and followed the order of Leon Harmon on controlling the situation and wiping away each evidence.

Hence she couldn't confirm whether he wanted her safe or he wanted her to enrage the beast-like Leon Harmon. His motives, his behavior, and his preposition are too dense to analyze.

She also has doubts like Dylan might have used her as a scapegoat in his game to keep Leon's attention away so that he could do his work. It wasn't her intuition but she has the proof of him sneakily gather information and preparing for something which Leon Harmon isn't aware of.

If he really used her as a tool, he was going to see the cruel end worse than Leon Harmon.

Hence having no plans for the day, she drove to Skylar to give rest to a big kid who was yammering from a day to take him with her to Hays International. Now she regrets agreeing to take Shawn however she didn't allow Dax to join. He won't think twice before breaking Vance Hays's face.

Dax's weaknesses are less and one major weakness is his impulsiveness to protect, it may be about him or his closed ones.

Aarvi pushed the man to the resting room and dictated, "Sleep."

Dax turned around going towards the desk, "Dum Dum, I have a meeting and see the pile of files." He didn't want to burden her little brain with office work when her mind keeps active to handle the bunch of bastards.

However, he had to walk back when the slender fingers clutched his vest pulling him back with all her might, "I will do it, you rest." Her voice revealed her struggle to pull the big burly man.

She had heard his secretary say he didn't rest well to be on caution for provoking Leon Harmon publicly.

Dax couldn't believe there exists a president who wants to do the work to let her subordinate rest.

Aarvi continued to coax him, "Leon Harmon isn't in the city and he is working on a very important project that takes up all his time."

Dax turned around unable to hear her struggling tone to pull him even though he wasn't using any force.

Aarvi sighed deeply and hooked her arm to his to avoid him running to the desk. Putting on his favorite cute expression, she continued her words on Leon Harmon, "He isn't targeting Skylar directly and if he does, don't worry, I will make him cry blood for you."

Dax chuckled seeing her little fist in the air taking her oath like a kid. He reluctantly gave in rubbing her head, "Only till lunchtime."

Aarvi willingly agreed, thinking he can rest for four hours. She saw him climb on the bed keeping his mobile away before she left the room.

She was hell busy in continuous two meetings and the pile of files when the internet was fired up and she had no clue about it.
