Chapter 231 Troubled Isla?
The words Ava had just said registered in the minds of all her teammates, including Isla, her own sister, and Daphne. No words came out of their mouths, and they even froze in their spots for a few seconds after understanding the underlying meaning behind their leader Aiden's words, and Ava's solid confirmation.
Reality came crashing down on them, especially Isla and Daphne, who had for the first time seen nothing more than a strict conversation between Ava and Aiden only today. Before that, they had never seen them interact in a way that would give them any suspicion about their relationship.
Both of them didn't know if today was the first day they had opened up to each other and reached this far in their relationship, going so far as Ava staying together with Aiden even at night.
None of them were kids. They knew many things could happen between them tonight, but they weren't sure about the extent of it. They had never seen their Vice Leader as someone actively looking for a romantic relationship or going as far as interacting with even the men in the military. She would straight up ignore them and only interact if it was something related to work.
Yet now, listening to her voice, which indicated her strong approval to move in together with Aiden for the night, was making both of them think of many possibilities. One of these possibilities was whether today was really the first time both of them were close to each other or if there were some secrets they didn't know about between the two.
They were too suspicious and wanted to ask her many things. However, things were not in their favor currently, as their leader had informed them of what was going to happen. They weren't going to say anything regarding it, especially when Ava had agreed to it in her own words.
No one said anything and just stood there in their own places, with many thoughts playing through their minds and feeling different emotions.
Isla was the one most shocked out of everyone present, as her own sister was making such a big decision, and she hadn't told her anything at all.
She felt a little betrayed. While she was not against the relationship between her elder sister Ava and her Aiden, sooner or later, she was going to make it happen after getting together with her love.
She was genuinely happy for her sister Ava and also very jealous right now, which were feelings she could cope with. However, the feeling of betrayal, as her sister Ava, whom she thought she could share everything with—and she had done so all her life—didn't think she could share her secrets with her, especially knowing she was in love with Aiden.
After witnessing the extremely romantic atmosphere between Aiden and her sister Ava, she was having doubts about whether her sister Ava had been in a secret relationship with her love behind her back. While she was sure they didn't meet up in public, as she was almost always with her and knew where she went and what she did even here, that didn't rule out the possibility of her sister Ava talking to him on the phone. She was the only one who had the contact information of Aiden, the General, and Alicia.
Still, that was just a strong possibility for Isla, not an actual fact. Experience exclusive tales on empire
However, now, after her sister had agreed to spend the night together with Aiden inside his place almost instantly, this act of hers had made Isla confirm that her sister Ava must have been hiding something from her for these past months or years. She didn't know how long, which made it even harder for her to accept. She felt betrayed. If her sister had told her about this, she would have felt very thrilled, or probably even her relationship with her husband would have been much, much better currently.
While she had already confirmed today that her Aiden had a special place for her in his heart, as he had mentioned to her before, this was the only thing stopping her from just making her way to her sister and questioning her about all this.
She didn't know why Ava didn't share these things with her or if there was something she didn't know about her secret relationship. Or it may even be that Aiden had told her not to share it with anyone.
Many thoughts were spiraling inside her little brain as she tried to make sense of the current situation by herself with all her dedication and concentration. This might be the first time Isla had used her brain to figure something out with such passion.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, unfortunately for her, even after trying her hardest to guess what was going on and why her sister Ava hadn't shared her secret relationship with her, even when Aiden had told her to keep it a secret or not, Ava could have at least shared it with her, especially knowing she was also in love with Aiden.
Unable to figure things out, Isla had a troubled and helpless expression on her face.
'Why did you betray me, Ava?'
Her own sister, whom she cared about the most in the world—probably reaching close to the level of obsession with Aiden, being madly in love with Aiden—she was sure Aiden was at the top of the list of people she cared about, and her sister Ava was only a little below him. Yet her sister hadn't shared things with her that could have potentially made progress between her and Aiden.
She was upset with her right now, and it was the first time she had seriously been upset with her for something. The feelings she was experiencing right now were not something she wanted to have.
She didn't want to act on her impulse right now just like the last time and go to her sister to question her, she would have done that actually but one of her fears was what Aiden would think of her if she acted on her impulse like the previous time.
She didn't want to think bad of her which is why she had a sad look on her face trying hard not to look at her sister Ava standing in her place with drooping shoulders.
