Daughter-in-law Strikes Harder

Miller’s corporation

Underground parking lot

“Wait here, Anna. I would be right back. Do not open the windows, and just keep playing games like you are doing right now,” Aria instructed the young girl who just nodded with attentive ears, to everything that she was being told after the car rolled into the parking lot.

Aria stepped outside of the car instantly while monitoring the car that was still watching theirs, and made her way swiftly towards the elevator that led to the first floor of the company. If her left eye had caught well when she glanced sideways, it was someone in a black outfit all through, with a black cap and shoes.

Frustration hit the best of her as to why such had to come up, just when she had to drive Anna to the hospital, and also had to meet her private investigator for a piece of information she demanded from him. Her schedules were already matching up in perfection, but something she could have never imagined to happen in broad daylight was going on.

“You need to get this fast. Figure out what is the cause of all these incidents and who,” Aria whispered to herself to brace her mind, and she walked to the main front and first floor of the building. There were so many office workers moving in and out of the front revolving door at the same time, as it appeared that lunch hours would soon be over.

Realizing that she would not be granted entry into the main company, since she didn’t even have a card nor did they know who she was, her direction diverted immediately towards the restroom that caught her eyes straight ahead at the other side of the huge company space.

Briskly, she walked inside without wasting any time like she wanted to use the place, and planned to ambush whoever it was that was trailing her even till the very end. Making sure she acted normally like she had not suspected anything, Aria entered one of the bathrooms and pressed the flush button on the closet. The person followed her still and entered the other bathroom space beside hers.

Aria came out and moved to where the hand basin was and let the tap run, as she watched through her falling hair from the mirror the person that came out of the bathroom. Just as the man moved closer to drive something into her side, Aria turned swiftly and gave him a hard jab by the nose and held the attacking arm tight.

“Who the fuck sent you? Who the heck are you?!” Aria yelled in a stressed-out voice, as she held stiff on the arm of the man to put tension on his bones, so that he would drop the knife.

But it was difficult to execute effectively because the man was putting on a rubber glove, and she was holding him with the same arm that she had broken weeks ago. The pain had not left completely, and she could feel the effect of the stress she was putting on the arm on it.

“Arhggg,” the man groaned and tried to push her using his strength, as she guarded hard with her left shoulder, and tried to pull the man over her head to the ground.

The knife fell to the floor as she pulled his arm continuously and held the hand tightly, and it sled miles away from their reach to the other side of the bath space. It diverted her attention a bit.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

He broke free from her tight grip and punched her hard in the face as she attempted to pull off his cap, which pulled her to the back so painfully and gave the man more leverage to attack her. He came harder for her with an attempt to snap off the bone of her neck, but she aimed at his eyes and hit high with her elbow using the greatest of her strength.

The predator who had not expected something of such from her almost hit the ground in extreme pain, which hit him badly in a vital spot so unexpectedly. Aria took a chance at that moment and gave him a backward high kick, toward his jaw area that almost shifted the bone on the spot instantly. And next to his stomach was another kick, which was a gateway for her victory.

Her hand immediately went to the door at the bathroom entrance, as she switched the key of the door to ‘locked’ so as to prevent anyone from coming in.

She turned back to the person whose face she could now see rolling to the floor, and quickly pulled off the glove by his right hand to her hers immediately.

Wham!

The first slap went to the side of the cheek that had the affected eyes, and the second to the exact spot in his eyes again. He had put her in so much imbalance and pain, so she was going to pay it back.

“Make a stupid move again, and I would use this knife to pluck out your eyes,” Aria threatened, as she flashed before him the sharp knife he was going to attack with initially. With the fear that the knife he was holding had been laced with some kind of deadly poison, he remained still so that he would not end up taking the fall.

“Now tell me, who sent you?!” She demanded forcefully, still holding the knife in the right place to keep him threatened.

To her surprise, he chuckled hard under the pressure in reaction to her question, even if it was glaring that she was not joking with her threat.

“Your life seems to be really hard. I guess the saying that goes like this; those closest are your enemies, is true,” he laughed so hard, that had her taken aback for a few seconds. Deciphering what he was trying to say was not the easiest.

“What do you mean, you motherfu…..” Aria’s ear heard the siren loud and clear, and she figured out that the cops she had instructed Anna to call after fifteen minutes had arrived at the company premises.

“Shit!” Aria murmured, and gave the man a very hard hit by the side of his head to make him unconscious to avoid any further problems.

She didn’t end up getting the desired information she wanted, by going through the long process of dealing with the person herself. It was kind of a waste, especially for the fact that her face had been torn a bit by the unexpected punch he gave her.

Quickly, she came out of the bathroom and quickly made her way to the elevator that led to the parking lot. Before there would be any restriction orders that no one was allowed to leave the company premises, she zoomed off with her car and patted Anna on the head for a job well done. The therapies were working perfectly for her.

The car which was blaring of loud sirens drove out of the company about twenty minutes later with a cuffed man, after the division head police had apologized for causing a nuisance in the company because they received a call.

However, the brief search was easy because of the company policy and restricted grounds, as they found an unconscious man with a knife on the floor of the public bathroom. At first, they thought it was the victim that was lying on the floor, until they noticed the tattoo that was on his neck which Aria made sure to leave exposed.

It was a familiar sign of a particular gang that ran a bell, and they ended up carrying him alongside with them instead. Further investigations were going to be carried out at the police station, but Dalton’s head was still in circles because of the report that was made to him by Alex.

‘A suspected terrorist in his company? How would it even look in the tabloids of those disgusting journalists, if they got a wind of it?’

Dalton’s eyes studied like a bird as it watched carefully the footage from an hour ago, that the cops who had watched at the control room to confirm that the man indeed, trailed someone into the female’s bathroom.

Though they would have loved to interview the person in question for more guidelines, it was even impossible to tell by the way she walked out of the restroom, in a perfect way that did not divulge her face no matter how they zoomed in.

Dalton watched the video by forwarding and rewinding it for minutes, because he was sure that it was someone he suspected strongly, and not because she was taking over his senses in everything he was doing. The walking, posture, and even the hair, matched her own that he was a hundred percent sure that it was her.

His hand found the desk phone on his office table as he called Alex who was still seeing to the situation, to check Aria’s alibi immediately and find out where she was. The moment he was not interested in her affairs again, a million things that revolved around her had happened in his oblivion.

‘What was exactly going on in her life?’ he questioned himself as he watched the footage again and again. ‘What was she?’
