Zaiden's POV

Today was such a stressful day and I was ready to get out of this place already. It's late now already past 6pm so I'm not going to get home until maybe 8:30 and I miss Auria so much.

I stood putting everything away for tomorrow. I grabbed my case and coat and walked out locking the door behind me, getting on my personal elevator and pushed the first floor button and it closed.

Once it got down and opened I walked out and to the doors where security was. I walked out and to the parking lot to my car and open the door before getting in, I close the door starting the car and soon I was on my way home.

She must be so mad at me for staying at work this late but I'll try not to get this much on my hands another time.

I was pulling down the driveway to the gates soon after, stopping at the door I shut my car off and got out to be met with Auria's personal body guards who greeted me almost immediately as I walk to the front door. I know Edith isn't here and now that I think about it Auria probably hasn't eaten as she has this bad habit of not eating without me, this made me curse myself inwardly. I walked upstairs and went straight to our room, I slowly opened the door to see her sound asleep so I decided on getting a quick shower before waking her up.

I hurriedly got a shower and got dressed in sweats and a hoodie before walking back to her.

She looks so pretty laying there hugging the pillow and if this was another case I would probably be jealous

She looks so pretty laying there hugging the pillow and if this was another case I would probably be jealous. She looks so cute and innocent I almost didn't want to wake her but I needed to because she needs to eat and so do I.

Gently I shake her awake and whispering her name until her eyes flutters open. "Zaiden?" she asked in the most adorable voice even I fell in love with her all over again. "Hi baby, will you wake up for me?" I ask gently and she sat up rubbing her hands over her eyes cutely making me awe at her.

"Why did you come so late, I was waiting for you" she says pouting and I kiss her "I'm so sorry my love I got caught up in work, I promise it won't happen again " I tell her with a smile and she launches her body at me wrapping her arms around my neck in a hug as my hands found her waist. "I missed you" she says from my neck as if taking the words from my mouth "I missed you too baby" I tell her and kissed the side of her head lovingly. "Alright, come let's go eat now I know you didn't do so already right?" I asked and she nods before speaking "I thought you'd be home soon that's why " she says and I pet her hair standing from the bed and she wraps her legs around my waist as I walked us out the room and down stairs to the kitchen.

While she was getting our food warmed up I just sat at the island watching her cut fruits that I asked her nicely to do for me and she gave me a speech about if she wasn't my girlfriend and just the cook she would quit because I needed to learn how to do things for myself but I don't need to do that when I have her and Edith to do it.
