Chapter 774 - The Beginning Of New Game
After the reception, the guests dispersed and the Rivas family went home. Shawn and Shea went to drop the couple at the airport. Meanwhile, Milo Wen was hiding in the car as he couldn\'t hide his anxiety like Shawn.
Once the newly wedded couple left, Shawn turned to Shea, "Darling, go home and rest. I have some work to attend to, so I will be home late." He quickly kissed her forehead and jogged to the car where Milo Wen was waiting.
Shea wanted to ask why he didn\'t speak about the issue with her. She wanted to ask, but stopping him now would delay him so she watched him sit inside the car and the car left immediately.
She could only hope nothing was serious. She fetched her mobile from her handbag and dropped him a message, [Take care. Come home soon.] More than her, he was tired after looking after the arrangements of the wedding.
The quick response she always got didn\'t come this time. She got in the car and the driver took her to the Rivas mansion.
She waited till the middle of the night when Shawn finally dropped her a message, [I will be late, go to bed. Don\'t wait for me.] She felt uneasy but gave him time to solve whatever the problem was. She went to bed with the hope to see him in the morning.

At the other end,
After a wedding and overnight flight, Aarvi fell asleep on the way to the destination wherever Aaron was taking her. They reached the place around the afternoon. Aaron fed her, seeing her yawning non-stop and half-closed eyes. Once they filled their stomachs, both cuddled to take a nap.
In the evening, Aarvi woke up to use the restroom.
"RONRON…" Aaron was still napping when he heard Aarvi scream his name, startling him awake.
He quickly ran towards the source and saw her bouncing on her toes while looking at the white cotton candy-like clouds. He was glad she liked the place.
They were on a peak of a mountain. The clouds were below them, she could only see the tips of shorter mountain peaks. The setting sun still looked bright as if it would darken the place beneath them and give them the light as long as they needed.
"Ronron, we are above the clouds." Not in a flight but standing on their feet.
He went behind her and wrapped his arms around her, "Don\'t catch a cold on our honeymoon, Cupcake." The temperature was lower at the top. She hadn\'t realized due to her excitement.
Aarvi\'s lips curled into an O, recalling what she had said when they got married. She couldn\'t believe he still remembered it. She spun around and lifted her hands. Aaron obliged and carried her up.
"My husband should be rewarded heftily." She teased when he returned inside the bedroom and closed the balcony door pushing it with his feet.
"And how?"
She went closer to his ear and whispered, "Perhaps a wedding evening." By the end of her words, he was pinning her against the bed.
"You-"
Without letting him complete, she held his collar and captured his lips. Sometimes, her husband was cutely dumb, taking her mischief seriously and fulfilling it without ignoring her words.
They truly had a wedding evening forgetting the world while loving each other\'s bodies, souls, hearts, and minds.
…..
At midnight, Aarvi was calming herself with her back facing Aaron. He kissed behind her ear causing her to pleasantly sigh at the ripples coursing in her body. He whispered to her ear without opening his eyes, "Cupcake…" His low deep voice could soothe her nerves, yet race her heart.
"Ronron…" She purred in a weak voice when his hand glided over her waist. She was exhausted yet her body listened to him more than her.
She felt him smile against her skin and pressed his lips on her shoulder. His lips brushed over her skin leaving a trail of his hot breath. Her body craved for more, desired for him, addicted to his lips, his touch, and his smell. Another sigh slipped her lips, reminding her she was tired but wasn\'t ready to stop him.
His arm gently cradled her head and another arm wrapped around her, securing her in his embrace. A pleased hum melodiously floated in the air when she snuggled to his arms. Her hands slowly made their way and slipped her fingers between his and intertwined their fingers.
He smelled like her, all over him. His hands, his fingers, his embrace… Or was she smelling him? Her lips slightly arced. Her body and mind were ready to fall into a deep slumber but her heart refused. It wanted to feel more, rejoice, relive the best memories he created for her. It wanted to fly in his love, stay in his arms, hold him, look at him, touch him, feel him under her fingertips, kiss him, and foolishly smile.
He was hers. Every time she thought, she felt ecstatic for the first time. "Ronron… I love you." Her voice was barely audible in the room yet managed to reach his ears.
As though his actions weren\'t enough to show his love for his wife, his words stole her heart again, "With you in my life, I will have the best day every day."
Aarvi opened her heavy eyelids. Her black orbs were soft and emotional. Their every day couldn\'t be the same. They have to cherish even their little struggles and solve them just knowing they love each other. Then everything will fall short, nothing else will matter.
She flipped around in his arms and looked at his charming face and tender gaze. She wasn\'t good with words, she shifted close and kissed on his lips. As though it wasn\'t enough, she repeated.
In the end, all we want is someone who will choose us and will keep on choosing us even in the worst times. That\'s love. Love that makes one happy in a way no one else can.
Aaron stopped before they lose control, "Cupcake, you need rest." He kissed her forehead, caressing her cheek.
"I need you."
"You have me."
She smiled adorably, "Yeah!!!!." Wrapping her arms around his neck, she hugged him to sleep.
While he took care of her once she slipped into a deep slumber, she had a beautiful dream. A dream of a wedding with Aaron. She was very young and carried innocent smiles.
In a beautifully decorated room, Aarvi was sitting in front of a mirror, wearing a gorgeous wedding A-line gown and veil covering her face. The gown hugged her curves, accentuating her lissom physique. Her chocolate brown long hair was in a messy yet pretty updo adorning delicate accessories. She was nervous yet happy and too shy. She was even shy to look at her blushing face.
The door suddenly opened causing her shoulders to jump. She turned around to look who it was. She froze and her face blushed brighter while looking at Young Aaron sneaking in her room before the wedding ceremony could start.
"Ronron…" Her voice was softer than a feather, filled with shyness.
Young Aaron quickly took her white bouquet and kept it aside. Aarvi stood up without understanding his action. He handed her a multicolor lovely floral bouquet. A pleasing and innocent smile instantly appeared on her dainty face. She loved it at first sight.
She lifted her head to look at her dashing groom who opened her veil to have a good look at his bride. Her eyes widened, her heart was drumming against her chest, looking at him nervously.
Her mind ran wild thinking he was going to kiss her as that\'s what will happen in the wedding hall. And that made her flush as it will be her first kiss.
Seeing his tender eyes adoring her, she softly bit her lower pink lip. She wanted to ask what he was doing but stared into his eyes.
"Cupcake, you are…" He paused looking at his bride flushed bright red. He was afraid to make her flush brighter and look like cooked shrimp at their wedding.
The back of his finger grazed over her cheek, "I told you, you will be my wife." He sounded ecstatic and proud.
Aarvi tried and barely managed to utter, "Not yet."
His eyes glinted at her words as if he was challenged. He took a step closer and she stepped back watching his playful eyes. "Then… How to become your husband?"
Aarvi took another step back as she pointed her finger at the door, "We have to take an oath…" in the wedding hall.
"And…"
"... Exchange rings."
"And…"
Her voice failed to utter, \'Wedding kiss.\' She was even shy to say that to him, who was going to be her husband. She suddenly gasped when she tripped and fell back on the bed. Then her eyes widened looking at Aaron getting closer to her.
She forgot to breathe. Her fingers clutched the sheets under her and stared at him. He repeated, "And..." He completed by capturing her tender parted lips. He gently nibbled and sucked on them, slowly coaxing her and melting her.
Aarvi was shocked, the little sensations and new feelings in her made her melt to him and close her eyes. She slowly followed him, reciprocating his sweet kiss.
-- In the bedroom--
Aarvi heard her mobile go off at the side, She didn\'t want to break her first kiss in her dream. Her dream was beautiful so she fought to ignore the ringing mobile.
In the end, her dream broke and remembered she was sleeping in Aaron\'s arms. If nothing had happened six years ago, Aarvi was sure she would have been a shy little girl and Aaron would have protected her like a mother hen and spoiled her rotten.
Without opening her eyes, she grabbed her mobile and kept on her ear swiping her finger on the screen.
[Boss, Shawn sir is kidnapped.]
Aarvi\'s eyes jerked open. The sun was still rising on the horizon, filling the room with warm rays. The love marks on her skin looked fresh but her black orbs glinted darker. Her one side of the lips tugged up sinfully, her beautiful wedding nail tips tapped rhythmically on the back of the mobile.
She knew happiness was hard-earned, life throws oddballs anytime. Now it is time to earn happiness and hit the oddballs away. She was ready to ruin the happiness from the lives of the people who dared lay their finger on her family, her best friend.
It is time to remind people she is still the ferocious predator the business world trembled at her name and in her presence.
Her pink lips moved to sound her alluring voice that had no warmth in it.
"The game begins!"
This is not the end of the story.
This is the beginning of the new game.
~~~ The END ~~~
