C9 Eight

Meanwhile

Little Mary walked towards a large mango tree nearby in a secluded area, she sat on a small bench beside it and after relaxing for a minute, she spoke.

" I have done as you instructed, brother. " She said and almost immediately a Young Man with a Rasputin -blue eyes which were as clear as a calm lake, he had a Wavy black hair, bristly eyebrows, he was very light-skinned and tall about 200cm. he also had a hawkish nose, he looked quite handsome and dashing in a casual White top and Sweatpants.

" Alright, I hope you are finally happy and satisfied now? " He asked in a deep but soft voice.

" Not yet, brother, I can't be happy yet as Sis is still going to be forced to get married to an old man in two days. "

" I know, Mary but what can you do? This is not our territory remember? We are just Strangers here so you can't just go ahead and jeopardize the wedding just because you want to. "

" I am aware of that brother but still, I can't let the marriage Take place, I have to do something, I can't just sit here and watch Sis Malisa's life getting ruined. " She insisted and the young man who was named Aiden could only sigh.

" So what are you planning to do then? " He inquired.

" Come closer brother. " She said and as the doting brother that he was he could only comply.

Mary then went ahead and whispered the plan to him leaving him completely shocked.

Little Mary as Malisa calls her isn't some commoner as Malisa think her to be but in fact she's the beloved sister of Aiden Evans the only CEO of Evans Corps the largest and most prosperous business enterprise in Europe, it was well known for making new technologies like robots, some programs and so on their business cuts across almost everything, Ranging from Electronics to Technology and Research.

They are also involved in Youth Empowerment and Helping the Less privileged in society.

Aiden Evans resided in Paris the national capital of France with his little sister, Mary Evans ever since they lost their parents in a ghastly motor accident years ago.

They were both raised by their foster parents who were rich businessmen and women but they too soon followed, the duo's deceased parents, it was as if life wanted them to be orphans.

Aiden took over the business of his foster parents as the only heir when he was just twenty years old and since then he singlehandedly took care of his little sister who was Sixteen years younger than him, anyone who didn't Know them would think they were father and daughter when they are together.

Aiden loved and doted on his little sister unconditionally, he was well aware of the fact that they only have each other in this cruel world.

But despite this, His sister didn't become his weakness but on the contrary, she was his strength.

He continued to strive for success just to give his lovely little sister a good life and he succeeded in doing that.

When he decided to go to the Uncivilized Villiage to do some research, As he was an orphan he had a soft spot for homeless kids so that's why after a lot of research he decided to head to the village to help the children there but Alas, on getting there, the situation wasn't like he expected, it was like he didn't do his research well because unlike the western world, the village Served Idols ( small gods ) and they were also uneducated and uncivilized.

He went to the village Head to discuss some proposal for the improvement of the village but unexpectedly the king rejected it.

The king who was a very greedy man was well aware that if the village becomes more civilized, he might lose his power so he immediately refused.

Even though Aiden went there in commoner's clothes and didn't use his identity as the CEO of a multinational Company.

The King who was used to Wealthy men and women could easily tell that he wasn't a commoner from the way he speaks and reacts.

Therefore, he offered a proposal of marriage to which Aiden refused him bluntly,

Did he come there to change and improve the lives of the less privileged and not to get married alright?

Though the king was a little displeased with him he didn't show it.

Aiden left the palace a little disappointed, he drove his Audi car straight to the hotel he was staying at in the outskirts of the village, it took him about an hour and half hour to get there with his car though he was driving at an average speed.

When he got there, he headed straight to his little sister's room to check up on her only to find out that the latter wasn't around, he later found out from the bodyguards that she went to the village for sightseeing, he only Relaxed a little after he realized that she went there with two of her bodyguards, who were all dressed in village Clothing.

' What's she doing there? ' He thought and what was most surprising was that his sister who was used to being adorned with branded clothes and jewelry went out in plain-looking clothes.

' What's she up to this time, ' he thought?

As you would have already guessed, this happened around the time when Malisa met up with Mary at the stream.

Hours later.

Mary Came back to the hotel and went straight to her brother's hotel room, she Barged into the room without notice and there she saw Her brother Aiden in a sky blue bathrobe as he walked out of the bathroom since he just took a bath, his ink-black hair was dripping wet which made him look very handsome and dashing, at that moment he looked like a model from a magazine.

Though they were blood siblings they had different hair colors.

Mary who was at the door didn't blush or smile as she was already used to the sight.

Aiden on the other hand was quite Suprised to see his sister, especially when he saw her barging into his room which was unlike her.

His hands which were on his hair paused as he looked at her and asked in a calm voice.

" Where have you been since morning, Mary? , Why did you leave your room Without my permission? "

" Why? , Only you can go out and I can't? , You left only me alone in that room? , How do you expect me to feel? "

" I know that you'll be bored and that's why I asked you not to come with me, you could have stayed at the mansion in Paris with Nanny Divine but you stubbornly refused. "

" I don't want to be there without you brother and you know that! How could you be so heartless to Leave Me alone? You are such a Meanie! " Mary ranted as Warm tears streamed down her face.

Aiden's gaze softened and his tone turned gentle as soon as he saw her tears.

He closed the distance between the two of them and embraced her tightly, he was very aware of the feelings of her lone feelings but what could he do? , He tried his best to fill in the gap of a father, Mother, and sister In her life but it seems like it's not enough.

" I am sorry, little Sis, it's my fault, please forgive me. " He whispered, guilt was very evident in his tone of voice.

" You don't have to apologize to me brother, it's not your fault at all. " Little Mary replied as she broke the hug, though she was just twelve years old, she was very matured and understanding for her age perhaps it's because she lost her parents at an early age and had to depend on her brother and herself to survive.

As he was a lot taller than her she had to look up to him when talking.

" You were there for me all my life, you cared for me and loved me like your own daughter, I will never be able to thank you enough for what you have done, because of Me you weren't able to find a bride as no woman would want to become a stepmother to a grown-up child who was spoiled and pampered beyond limits, I remember the times I threw tantrums just to ruin your dates as I don't want to have anyone else but me, I knew that what I did what childish as I was very insecure but yet you didn't mind, you endured all of this with a doting smile on your face and you continued to be my guardian without complaints. " She said all of this in one breath and as soon as she was done, she sobbed uncontrollably.

Aiden pulled her into his arms once again as he wiped her pearl-like tears with his claw-like fingers as gentle as he can be, he proceeded to Leave a gentle peck on her Milky white forehead.

He was still hugging her to himself as he spoke up.

" You are my responsibility so you don't have to worry so much about being a burden because you are not. " He Whispered.

" But still--- "

" If you are feeling so guilty, why don't you blow-dry my hair then? " He suggested with a smile.

" Sure. " She agreed without hesitation as she went to get the hairdryer from where it was kept.

She got to work later on but soon drifted Into deep thoughts and Aiden Realized this when he saw her staring blankly at the mirror in front of them.

He took the Hairdryer from her and lead her to sit on the bed, he carried a small leather chair from the front of the mirror and sat with it in front of her.

" What's on your mind, little Maria? " He asked in a gentle voice as He slowly brushed her golden long hair with his hands, he was already used to doing this as he was the one who took care of her from her early childhood.

" Well, When I went to the village stream today I met a girl she was named Malisa and..... " She recounted everything that happened in detail to her Elder brother who was listening attentively to her.

" You did the right thing, Little Maria. " He said smiling he looked like a proud father at that moment.

" I know but it's still not enough, I wish I could do more. "

" Like what? "

" Well, that reminds me, why don't you ask your assistant to find out more about that big sister? , Pretty please? " Little Mary requested acting a little cute.

' Big Sister? ' Aiden thought Bemused, it was the first time he was hearing that from her.

" Okay. " As the doting brother he was, he couldn't refuse her so he ended up giving in to her as always.

" Yay! " She exclaimed. " You are the best! " She giggled as she pounced on him excitedly as embraced him tightly.

Aiden returned her hug, he loved his little sister more than anything in this world, he could give up anything for her as she's his priceless gem, a gem of incalculable Worth Perhaps this is so because she was his only family left and so he swore to do anything almost anything just to see her smile, he also promised himself to always keep her safe and Smiling.

The feeling is pretty mutual as his sister also abandoned her dance classes, singing classes, and even her School just to follow him on his research.

He wasn't that worried that she would miss out as he was aware of the fact that his sister was a very intelligent and bright student and no matter how tough the term's work was she always made sure to come out with the highest score and securing the first position.

He was very proud of her, despite not having a father and a mother she always made sure to be the best, she strived for success with all that she got.
