"What are you doing ?" Aria watched as Kallias lay back down on the bed.
"What does it look like I'm going to sleep, my brain needs to rest to make sense of everything that has happened tonight ", he said.
"Huh, I still don't trust you yet...so please go sleep in the living room," she said, pulling her covers away.
He sat up, "what but I just cleared my name and you were fine sleeping next to me a while ago "
"I was only pretending to sleep so I could kill you, and I still haven't confirmed that you're innocent,t" she said.
He sighed.
"In case you forgot, it was me ...my money that paid for this hotel room. And we are a married couple, sharing a bed is normal " he said.
"We are definitely not normal, could, and I don't care if you paid for it, just leave the bed for me. I don't trust you enough to share the same room with you " she pointed out.
Kallias lay back down. "I am sorry but you take the couch if you can't bear to sleep next to me but I am not giving up either "
She pointed, glaring, "Fine, enjoy the long, cold night ", walking off with the covers.
He could have called for room service but was too tired to get up. After what he had found out his brain was in overdrive.
Aria lay on the couch, lost in thought. If he wasnt the one, then who, and the issue of being her sister for the next three years made her head start to ache. What had she foolishly gotten herself into?
In the late hours of the night, Kallias walked to the living room, and he looked at the sleeping Aria.
She looked exactly like Alya, but he had noticed after they talked that they were completely different apart from the eye colour.
He had noticed a slight difference during the wedding but pushed it aside, thinking it was anxiety from the wedding when actually it was her twin.
She was poisoned. Who had done such a thing and that was after they had signed the contract. So whoever it was knew them personally and was either trying to stop the marriage or wanted something else.
He sighed, bending down, he pulled the covers away, and softly carried the sleeping woman into his arms, and quietly headed back to the bedroom.
He laid her in bed, got back picked up the covers and then placed them upon her.
"You don't know how much I adored her. She was my light and refuge, what am I going to do without her?" he mumbled.
"Alya ...Alya ...please don't go " Aria stirred in her sleep crying out for her sister. A tear escaped her fluttering lashes down the corners of her eyes.
He gently wiped it away," that's make two of us ".
