Chapter 48. Lurking

TARA

The next two days were hectic for me because even after the back and forth with Aidan about not buying a whole house, right after we finished from the boutique and got changed into warmer clothes, Aidan signed the papers to a new building, and handed the keys over to me.

The house was flashy, massive, spacious, and more of a home than was befitting for just me and Nadia.

All through the signing process, my mind did a whole marathon of speculating about the many ways that the day would end, but to my surprise, Aidan left almost immediately, after making sure that we had everything we needed.

When I asked him where he was off to, he told me he was going back to his hotel suite.

And just like that, Nadia and I had Aidan’s new home to ourselves till ours was repaired.

Nadia was currently in school, and I had just finished putting up some plants and furniture around to make the place look more cozy when I heard my phone ring.
