Chapter 247: A big blow

Isaac knew Alan becomes overprotective about Aria whenever small mishaps happen with her. So he didn't tease or comment seeing them snuggle.

He directly came to the point without beating around the bush, "There are hundreds of villages around city S. If they wanted to track any of our mobile locations, they could only reach on Saturday but those men knew it and received payment and pictures on Friday before the work was even completed. Who knew our location?"

Isaac thought such a secluded area couldn't danger Aria's stay and he couldn't understand how she ended up hurt again.

Alan had told them to keep the things about them a secret from everyone or lie if required. All understood so they didn't tell anybody and not even their parents about the actual location.

Aria bit her lip as she responded to Isaac, "I had told to Brother Calvin"

Isaac's face was serene and glanced at Alan but didn't comment.

Both men knew Aria trusted Calvin Parker even after seeing the proof that he had lied to her. They felt bad for her thinking whoever she had her trust and faith were breaking again and again.

It was Alan who told her to mention about their weekend trip to Calvin in a flow while talking with him. Aria generally had mentioned it while talking with Roxy during breakfast on Wednesday.

She didn't know when Calvin told her 'Be careful' could be a warning but not a care or concern.

Alan caressed her head, "It's alright..."

Aria nodded but she knew somewhere in her heart, she wasn't ready to believe because she never felt he could be acting all along.

'Am I so poor at identifying people? Don't I know to judge people?' She thought to herself and glanced at Alan's calm face.

'I am just a human being. I can go wrong many times too.' She thought to herself and wrapped her hand around Alan's waist under the duvet.

She knew she wasn't always wrong. She chose the right man for herself who she trusts more than anything.

Isaac bid them and was leaving but he paused, "What about that actor issue?"

Isaac had seen many celebrities feeling sorry for that actor once the cops released a statement saying that the actor was framed by a set of people by releasing the videos.

Isaac sometimes loathed the entertainment industries because they get fans if they have talents, looks, and the right platform. They love you to the extent you get overwhelmed with everything making you feel like you are on the top of the world but if a small issue breaks out, the same fans will curse you endlessly until one could almost go into depression.

They don't care what is right or what is wrong. They don't care if you are the victim and being accused or somebody framed you to slander.

Isaac wasn't sure how many or who had targeted him but he was thankful to his manager and Alan who made sure he was alright and nobody could plan evil on him.

Aria hadn't checked her mobile so she sat straight and guessed, "CEO West?"

"Why will he do that? Might be that actor's foe." Isaac was confused by hearing that name.

Aria gave a sheepish smile before revealing everything in brief, "Focus International's hacker was trying to break our company firewall so I and Alan had roamed them on city streets like dogs all night. After that, Alan changed channels of your new drama so he met Alan where I pointed out all their mistakes so..."

"Sh*t, why did you let him know that you attacked them?" Isaac thought the couple lost their mind.

Aria shook her head, "Nope, he doesn't know it was me and Alan. He doesn't know I was the one who pissed him off. Due to change in channels by Morgan entertainment, many are doubting Focus's performance so he wants Morgan Industries' support."

Isaac realized he doesn't know many small things. He also understood Focus attacked first and couldn't handle the rejection from the Morgan Industries.

"Alright alright... so who is behind the current fiasco?"

Aria and Isaac looked at Alan. The latter caressed her cheek as he responded, "You are right. Xoan's third man contacted the man who is in custody but he doesn't know that man."

Isaac became curious than Aria and sat on the edge of the bed, "How are you avenging?"

Aria turned to Alan but he shook his head, "I didn't get time to plan anything."

Isaac rolled his eyes but Aria smiled. "I have a plan and we don't have to do much for it."

Aria giggled seeing Isaac becoming all ears.

She narrated her plan and looked at both men. Isaac nodded being impressed.

Alan looked at his wife, "Do you know to attack behind the scenes without letting anybody know? It's like you are going and slapping his face directly."

Isaac chuckled. He must say, Aria was brave and doesn't think before offending anybody similarly how she doesn't give a damn about the media.

Aria pouted, "It's just me. I prefer to slap across the face instead of smacking the head hiding in the dark. When I'm not wrong, why should I hide?"

Alan smiled pulling her closer. Of course, he knew.

When he sneak attacked Skyline Industries without ruining Morgan Industries' reputation, she didn't care to get negative reviews and attacked head-on.

"So the same plan?"

Alan pinched Aria's cheek as he responded, "Yep."

Isaac gave them thumbs up and went out.

Aria threw his laptop away and went on to Alan, "Huggie..."

Alan kissed her crown wrapping his arms tight around her.

"Alan, You can change the plan. You don't have to go by mine. It is just a suggestion."

Alan hummed but he had no plans to change the plan.

"Sweetheart..." He continued after a hum, "Do you want to handle Calvin yourself or me?"

Aria rubbed her forehead on his warm chest trying to clear her mind. She was forcing herself to agree Calvin was behind her life but she can't rest at ease.

She raised her head and cupped his face, "Be with me, I'll handle..."

Alan knew if Calvin was behind it, she needed to remove her frustration out else she wouldn't be at ease. And his presence would strengthen her more to hear the harsh truth which would be a big blow to her.

He brushed his nose to her cute nose as he responded, "As my wife wishes."

Aria smiled and embraced him to sleep preparing for the duel battle.
