Ms. Attractive and inciting CEO

Chapter 322 - Nathan\'s past 1

The next day Jean woke up late and her head no longer ached with unbearable pain. It is because the decision has been already taken.

She knew Nathan decided to not tell Aria, not because he don’t want to tell her but only because he is not brave enough to face it while telling. What if he break down like always...she might misunderstand that he is still in love with her.

"Honey, Aria will be coming to meet you now. It is your wish whether you will tell her or not" Scott said as they finished eating breakfast on bed.

"I want Aria to come with me to country X. To Kiara’s graveyard" Jean smiled sadly.

"Hmm....that is good idea. I will also come but I will go to our base and look into Kiara’s death more deeply." Scott helped Jean to get changed into her casual wear

"Try to connect her death directly to Braxton family rather than Keller’s. I know I am being stupid but for my satisfaction.....please" Jean hooked her arms around his neck and asked him with puppy eyes.

"Anything for you my queen.." Scott kissed her lip.

After four hours.....

Jean, Aria and Scott disembarked from Scott’s private jet.

Aria is not aware of what they are doing in country X but she let Jean to do whatever she wanted. It might be a wedding gift..

"Baby, I will meet you back at evening. Be careful" Scott sn.a.k.e.d his arms around her waist and pecked her lips.

"Hmm... don’t forget my request. Bye" Jean reciprocated his action and smiled assuring him.

"Bye, Aria. try not to get more tanned Okay. I don’t want to see black and white wedding" Scott winked his eye and chuckled.

Aria laughed and patted his shoulder. "Don’t worry Scott. I will not let your wife look more beautiful than me especially in my wedding" she mocked.

Meanwhile his employees are dumbfounded by what they saw. But whom can they blame....their boss is always mysterious.

After that Jean and Aria headed to the outskirts of the city. It is a small mountain cliff and the surroundings are green and filled with plenty tress. But the atmosphere is not at all lovely but emanated the gloomy and melancholic vibes

Even Aria felt sad by it, but looking at Jean her heart twisted with pain. She looked so in anguish and pain....her face is flushed with guilt and her eyes are blank but held a indescribable emotions hidden in it. With one look she could tell that this journey is going to be tough for Jean.

"Hey, I will be always there beside you. You can talk to me..." Aria squeezed her hand. "Friends...remember" she smiled.

"Thanks Aria...thanks" Jean smiled sadly. But her eyes brightened a little.

They walked together inside the fence as Aria held Jean’s trembling hands in hers and patted it. After walking for thirty seconds, Jean stopped at a black tombstone. It is filled with many dried flowers and are left untouched....

Jean kneeled down and placed some tulips over it and cleaned the name plate with a extra fabric she brought.

"Kiara Brooks"

Aria who is looking at her actions attentively read the name carved on it. Her eyes morphed into confusion....this name, it felt familiar.

"Kiara.....she is my best friend. Not only to me but for also Nathan, Raymond and Scott" Jean smiled sadly as her tears started to wet the extra flowers Jean is catching.

"Isn’t she the one Raymond thought of proposing but your aunt tricked it as if he proposed to you" Kiara remembered what Seline told to her.

"Yeah." Jean nodded her head.

Kiara looked at Jean’s grave face and felt bad. How horrible is her past...she has suffered enough because of her family, but why does it feel like she suffered even more...

"How did she die" Aria asked. Even her voice is little sad.

"Before I tell you anything. I want to you to listen to me properly and think about it without any other thoughts. Can you promise me that Aria" Jean asked.

"I will. I promise Jean" Aria assured her.

"Everyone will have some bad past Aria. The past which they will be afraid to talk with others, afraid to reopen the wounds and again fell into that dark abyss. It will take months, years or worse life long to return to normal state." Jean sighed sadly.

"Though they come out of it, the scars will be left unhealed. I have that bad past with my uncle’s family. Though Scott helped me to forget all about it, I still haven’t opened up yet to him, not totally. Some can’t be revealed Aria. Not because I don’t trust him but because I can’t muster up my courage to talk about it, I can’t Aria... not with anyone...not even the person I love most." Jean concluded.

"This woman who is lying here.....is his dark past. She is Nathan’s love. The woman he once loved with all his life. It took him a lot of effort to become a normal person...To be more sincere we didn’t think he would be able to get through this, not until you showed up in his life." Jean has been observing her face as she spoke.

Jean thought Aria would be angry, jealous or worse but to her relief she didn’t do anything like it. But tears rolled down her face. "Oh.. Poor Nathan. I have been so harsh on him for the first time we met" Aria started to cry.

Jean didn’t understand whether she should laugh or cry. This silly girl is crying not because Nathan haven’t told her about it...
