Chapter 12: An Invisible Bond

[Knight Mansion – Morning]
Aria sits in the dining hall, sipping her coffee and reading through emails on her tablet. The usual quiet morning is interrupted by small, hurried footsteps.
Aurora Walton
Aurora Walton
*Excitedly* Pretty Lady!
Before Aria can react, Aurora climbs onto her lap, wrapping her tiny arms around Aria’s waist.
Aria Knight
Aria Knight
*Raising a brow* Little one, what are you doing?
Aurora Walton
Aurora Walton
*Mumbling against her* Clinging.
Eliza, standing nearby, watches in shock. Aria, known for her cold and distant nature, simply lets Aurora cling to her without pushing her away.
Aria Knight
Aria Knight
*Smirking* And why are you clinging to me?
Aurora Walton
Aurora Walton
*Pouting* Because I want to.
Aria sighs but doesn’t make her move. Instead, she continues scrolling through her emails, one hand casually resting on Aurora’s back.
Eliza Walton
Eliza Walton
*Clearing throat* Aurora, come here. Let Pretty Lady work.
Aurora Walton
Aurora Walton
*Shaking head* No!
Eliza blinks in shock. Aurora had never been this attached to anyone before.
Aria Knight
Aria Knight
*Calmly* She’s fine.
Eliza opens her mouth to argue but stops. The way Aurora rests against Aria, completely at ease, and how Aria allows it without complaint—it’s strange yet natural.

[Later that day – Knight Company]
Aria is in her office, finishing a meeting when the door suddenly opens. Aurora runs in, ignoring the stunned employees.
Aurora Walton
Aurora Walton
*Excited* Pretty Lady!
Aria leans back in her chair, arms crossed.
Aria Knight
Aria Knight
Little one, did you escape again?
Aurora Walton
Aurora Walton
*Grinning* Maa said no, but I wanted to see you!
The employees hold their breath, waiting for Aria to scold her. Instead, she picks Aurora up and places her on the desk.
Aria Knight
Aria Knight
*Teasing* You’re becoming a troublemaker.
Aurora Walton
Aurora Walton
*Giggling* But you like me, right?
Aria stares at her for a moment, then smiles.
Aria Knight
Aria Knight
*Softly* Yeah, I do.
The employees nearly faint in shock. Aria Knight, the ruthless CEO, just admitted she likes someone?!
