Aana Pov's . I was gawking at Aaron shockingly, not able to believe whether I read right or not. I pick that paper from the ground and read it from start to end then look at him. "what? Why are you looking at me like that?" He laughed at my reaction. Tears were continuously falling from my eyes. "This pa---papers" I stuttered, not even able to say something. "It's a contract which says, after giving birth to my child you will cease to exist from our life and never show up again or interfere in my and my child's life. If you did then you will end up behind the bar for the rest of your life. In short, you're giving me custody of 'MY' baby" he said, emphasising on the word my. I kept my both hands on my stomach passively, scared to lose the only happiness of my life. "How could you do this to me?" I whimpered. "It's very easy for me after what you did. You hide the truth from me to keep my baby away. Hell, I wouldn't have come to know about his existence if the truth didn't come in front of me" He screeched. I nodded my head negatively. "I was about to tell you, Aaron". "Stop lying" He growled, making me flinch in fear. He was using his Alpha aura. I started shivering because of it. "Sign the papers". "No, I will not sign this paper. You can't do this to me" I yelled. "You know what I can do or not. If I make a decision then no one can change it. What I want, I achieve it by hook or by crook" He said. I tore those papers into two pieces. "I said, I won't sign these papers". "I knew that you would do something like this. That's why I asked my lawyer to prepare copies of this agreement in advance. '' He smirked. "Please Aaron" . "There was a time Aana when I used to fall for your tears but now your crocodile tears won't work on me and what's the problem, after delivering my child you can live happily with whomever you want. "How can I live happily when you're snatching the only reason for my happiness away from me?" I cried out and joined my hand in fr ont of him, pleading with him not to snatch my child away from me. "I will do whatever you will say bu t please don't snatch my child away from me, Aaron. I will die" I said. "Why are you dragging the mat ter, Aana? You can give birth to another child after that"

"Anot her c hild?" . "yeah, the whore like you can sleep with any man and have a w ay. just the way you slept with me yesterday morning despite having a boyfriend. " My eyes widened upon hearing his words. "After delivery, sleep with any man or your boyfriend and have a baby" Before he could complete, I tightly slapped his cheeks. I'm sure his jaw must have shaken. He kept his hand on his cheeks and looked at me. "This slap will remind you to thin k before uttering nonsense. " I scr eeched and stood up from my chair. "I'm not going to sign any kind of contract. Do whatever you can do Aaron but I will not give our child custody to you" I said with deter mination. He kept staring into my eyes for a minute and then smirked. "I like this confidence, Aana Aaron Smith. just wait and watch because now you will be the one who will come to me and ask me where to sign the paper. " He said and closed from my side. I sat on the chair and a tear fell from my eyes. I know, if he decides something then he will get it but this time a mother is standing in front of him. "I will not let anyone snatch you away from me, baby" I mumbled to my baby and wiped my tears. That's when I remembered the words that he said before leaving. He called me 'Aana Aaron Smith'. A big smile appeared on my face, remembering the first time he called me by this name that too on the first day of mine in his office. #Fl ashb ack . Alice was excited to meet his mate who was waiting for her in his office while Aana was nervous to meet him again, knowing th at she always loses control over her emotions in front of him. "I will just focus on my work and maintain a pr ofessional relationship with him. Also, ignore him as much as I can. " Aana mumbled to herself. "Wow. You are going to ignore your boss only" Alice teased her . Aana sat on the bed nervously. "Why did you sign that job letter, Alice? Because of you now I hav e to face Aaron every day" Aana frowned at her wolf who was happily jumping in her human mind with the thought of meeting Aaron again. "Would you stop jumpin g like a monkey?" Aana growled at her wolf. "It's not my fault that you're boring a nd naive. I mean how can someone be not excited to meet the love of his life" . "He is not the love of my life. The person whom I love is dea d. " Tears welled up in Aana's eyes remembering Vince, her firs t love

She quickly wiped off her tears and stood up from bed. "You're excited for nothing, Alice. Aaron promised me that he will be professional in his office and not make me uncomfortable. " Aana mutt ered to her wolf and checked herself in the mirror for the fifth time. "You're telling me not to get excited b ut you checked yourself for the fifth t ime in the mirror today. " Alice scoffed. "So. what is wron g in checking yours elf in the mirror?" . "Last time when you looked at yourself in the mirror?" Aana opened her mou th to answer then shut it, realising that Alice was right. After Vince's d eath, she never checked on herself nor did she care about how she looked. After a long time, she looked at herself in the mirror in the morning, only to realise how much she changed. In the morning she was trying to pick a good dress for herself but not get ting a single one. After a long debate, she finally decided on a dress and combed her hair. She was scolding Alice for getting excit ed but her heart knows she was much more excited to meet Aaron without any reason. "Don't forget Aana that you can't fall in love with Aaron," she mumbled to herself and left before tim e to reach the office. Aaron's situation was not different from Aana's. he reached the office before t ime and waited for her outside the office in the car, looking at himself in the mirror again and again. "I will make you fall in love with me Aana Aaron Smith" he muttered to himself. That's when his eyes went to Aana who was crossing the road. For a second, he forgot to take a breath after looking at her. She didn't do any makeup or wore any fancy cloth but still for h im, she was looking mesmerising. "I know our mate is beautiful but breathing human" Rex muttered. He nodded a nd hopped down from the car. He couldn't hold himself and went towards her, standing in front of Aana. she was startled to find him outside the office. "What are yo u doing here ?" she asked. "Why ca n't I b e here?" . "no. I mean ofcourse, you can. i t's your office. I was just asking wh y you're standing here. " She mumbled. "I was just waiting for you Mrs. Aana Aaron Smith," He said. She gawked at him, widening her eyes, not able to believe her ears whether what she heard was right or not. Where A aron cursed himself after seeing her reaction, realising what he uttered in front of her
