Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 185

Next day in the office, the files were piled up on the table before me and my mind was preoccupied with the happenings of yesterday. I was still feeling perplexed about the entire setting.

My biggest worry was Aaron, he was so out of his character that I failed to recognize him for a moment. Generally, he was my crime partner, giving me easy access to everything I wanted. He had fought countless times with mom and dad to fulfill my wishes.

Then why did he behave so strangely? Was he really against my truth?

I gave this point a fair consideration and rejected it eventually. Living abroad, I had seen my friend's experiences. Their family members clearly altered their lives' course by either hating or welcoming their personality.

Aaron did none, leaving me confused, I rubbed my temple while solving this mystery.

"What to do now?”

I forced my brain to work at the maximum capacity, seeking an answer, and all thanks to my luck, I got an idea. Calling Aaron's assistant and his closest ally, Carl, was the only option to ease my curiosity. They have been best friends since college.

So, I instantly dialed Carl's number. "Hey, buddy. How's life?”

Carl's cordial voice from the other side laid a favorable foundation for my quest, he always treated me as a little sister like Aaron.

After the formal pleasantries, I asked him about my dear brother.

"Is there anything different you observe in Aaron's behavior, Carl?”

Carl was a bit puzzled to hear my query, but he responded to me fairly.

"It's not bizarre behavior; however, Aaron ordered me to launch an investigation about a lady named Laura Becker. He wants every information possible about her"

What the fuck?

Aaron and Laura?

When did this happen?

Although I had teased them yesterday, it was evident from Laura's awkwardness that she had no connection with Aaron. They just met accidentally, and parted their ways with formal comments. That was why this occurrence didn't let me sit still. I grabbed my bag and rushed to confront my dear brother.

I didn't pay any attention to his yapping and got up from my chair, stalking towards him dangerously.

"You have thirty seconds to speak the truth, Mr. Aaron Lockwood. Otherwise …”

Joining my two fingers, I put them on his head and spoke perilously.

"You will be a victim of my fatal gun, Aaron. I will fire a mystical bullet to control your extraordinary mind"

My imaginary revolver burst him into laughter like every time, he acted terrified to play along and gaped,

"Please don't shoot me, Ma'am. I am innocent"

We both laughed, tricking each other like our beautiful childhood. Aaron took a deep breath and grabbed my hands.

"My little sister, I am not a creep to stalk Laura. I have pure intentions towards her …”
