Livid Guardian's Endless Coddling

Chapter 129: Arrie is missing

Rian asked a waitress to take care of Roxy and was leaving, Roxy held his hand, "Why are you and Aria seeing me as a Villian? Am I not allowed to like you? Am I not allowed to pursue what I like? Why am I not allowed to know Aria? Why do you guys keeping me away?"

Rian loosened her hold, "Stay away from Arrie. I will not think twice to break your bones if you think about hurting her."

Hearing his cold tone, the waitress gulped her spit and continued to cold compress Roxy's arm.

Roxy furrowed her brows, "Aren't you guys overprotective about each other? Are you guys in a relationship?"

Rian rolled his eyes and left without bothering to answer.

Aria who was on the dance floor left from there seeing Alan going towards her.

Since many people were there, Alan didn't want to chase behind her and attract too much attention.

He was going aside from the bar counter when he saw Aria getting Rian inside pulling his ear without bothering about people.

Alan almost chuckled seeing her smack him for pinching on her cheek.

After cutting the cake, Aria gifted Rian's favorite hybrid sports car by her and Alan which he wanted. His dress was as his Little devil and the car as his sister in law which left him on cloud nine.

Roxy gifted one of her paintings for Rian. The latter didn't say no and accepted without bothering to check.

Alan was tired of trying to get Aria who was running away from him.

Rian and Noah kicked out Aria and Eva when his birthday party was turning to the booze party.

Alan stood outside Aria's room door in perplex. 'Did I take too ahead in the evening?'

Aria had tied the door handles to avoid opening the door from outside.

Alan could only return and sleep alone in his room.

The next day Aria had left for the excursion before he could be out of the gym. Other than thinking she was angry who left without telling anything to him, he could only wait.

Alan had a work trip and he was restless without talking to her for straight two days and no mood to go on work seeing her decline his calls and ignoring his messages.

He felt like a complete day was torture just thinking about her without talking and without focusing on work.

All department executives saw him distracted but they still worked attentively. Nathan saw Alan spinning his mobile and checking whenever his mobile beeped.

He correctly deduced he was waiting for Aria's message or call.

He quickly messaged Aria, "Young Madam President, did anything happen? President Morgan is distracted in all the meetings these days. He just keeps looking at his mobile."

When he received the reply, he was in utter shock, "I caught him in an action."

He looked at Alan unblinkingly, 'How can President Morgan have an affair?'

Nathan tried to ask about what he assumed but failed by having no courage to ask.

They had only five minutes to board, Alan, stood up looking like a grim man from the hell, "Nathan. Take the lead and sign with the clients."

Alan promptly left leaving baffled Nathan who failed to voice his thoughts.

'President Morgan, clients need you there not me or my presentation.' Nathan wept mentally and boarded the private jet with the other two managers.

Alan arranged another jet in an hour and went to the northern part of the country without bothering to inform anyone.

He couldn't believe he can't go on for more than two days without contacting her. He also couldn't believe, Aria didn't care to contact him and was so chill about it.

He reached their hotel and got to know they went skiing. He didn't bother to pick winter clothes. and went to the mountains to look for them.

When he reached he saw the panicked group and Eva crying. Rian, Aria, and Noah weren't there.

He strode quickly towards Eva and asked, "What's wrong?"

Eva felt like she found the savior hearing the tone and saw Alan's aloof face. "Arrie... Arrie is missing."

Alan jolted and felt like somebody took his heart away.

He saw Aria's one of the bodyguards near communicating through walkie.

All girls around Eva stepped away as they trembled to look at Alan's darkening face and cold air around him.

"Pres..."

The bodyguard who noticed Alan was greeting him but Alan punched him without mercy which instantly turned the bodyguard's face green.

If it was somebody else they would have lost consciousness with that punch but the bodyguard wasn't and apologized as he steadied himself, "We are sorry President Morgan. We failed to protect Young madam."

The whole students heard and gasped understanding Aria was the 'Young madam'.

Emma and the bodyguard quickly narrated what happened an hour back.

...

All were skiing so as Aria.

It was a famous skiing terrain hence lots of tourists were present around.

Aria was skiing behind Noah when Eva, Rian, and other few classmates chased after her to catch up on her.

Their eyes were on Aria but suddenly a group passed between them at high speed which lost Aria's view for a few seconds but next second they couldn't see her anymore.

Aria's speed was moderate and she never skied faster so they got tensed.

One of the instructors contacted base and got to know Aria didn't reach there.

From that time Rian, Noah, their bodyguards, Skiing resort security were searching for Aria but there was no news yet.

The resort staff was checking each and every person exiting so nobody took Aria out. Hence Aria was still missing on the mountain terrain.

It was already four in the afternoon and weather might turn colder and bad weather could be expected soon which would put Aria's life in danger if she was kidnapped, they had no idea where they went.

"Where did you last time see Aria?" Alan's tone sounded hoarse.

He took a snow bike and went uphill with staff and a student sending the rest of the students back to the hotel due to the announcement of bad weather conditions.

Roxy who was also present, just watched everything unfolded how everyone was panicked for Aria.

Seeing all students sitting in reception instead of going to rooms and taking rest, Roxy asked a classmate, "Meral, you guys seem to like Aria very much. Why are you waiting here?"

Meral forced a smile at Roxy and turned her attention back to the main door, "Roxie, you are new, you don't know Arrie. She always looks after us all. You will know soon."

Roxy didn't comment and went to her room. When so many people were checking on Aria, she couldn't understand why their classmates were so anxious.

'Aria Cooper, you have every single person in your palms.'
