Chapter 650 - Newlyweds

"We will eat lots of ice creams near X park."

His parents chuckled, they didn't say no. "As you wish my prince Arlo. We will take you out tomorrow."

Arlo wanted to spend time with them before sleeping hence he rejected their suggestion. "I want now! I want now! I want now..."

He repeated continuously without hearing them coax. Finally, when they nodded and agreed, he left his covered ears and went out with them.

Since his father had a few drinks and the mother didn't know driving, they took a driver with them. The ice cream shop would be close at X park hence his father bought the ice cream from a convenience store and went to the park.

It was late, the park was closed and they were on the road. He sat on the car bonnet as he ate and his parents had some because of him.

When they left, there was hardly anybody on the road. The driver was at normal speed. In the car, Arlo was making his parents laugh by telling them what happened in the school...

'Screech'

His parents held him tightly who was sitting between them. The driver apologized before getting down to scold the car owner who had stopped the car on the road horizontally blocking the complete road.

That's when bullets rain started upon the car. The driver was shot first before they started firing at the car. Both his parents instinctively covered him tightly before he fell unconscious due to suffocation...

When he woke up, he was in the hospital and his grandmother was next to him. Her eyes were swollen when he saw her.

He sat on the bed immediately and complained about how his parents hugged him tight and he couldn't breathe.

It took doctors three days to tell him his parents were no more which was the first strike on him.

Then he had heard an investigation report when police told his grandfather. He must have thought that as he was the reason for his parent's death and started crying hard.

His cries were loud and all went to him as it was the first time after a week his voice heard in the house. He was just surrounded by some people who were trying to stop but he fell unconscious due to nervous exhaustion.

When he woke up again, he didn't identify anybody, not even their parents' picture. His treatment started and was sent to the recuperation center but none were useful and he kept his lips sealed all the time unless he had to speak out.

It would be a word or two maximum and rarely a complete sentence. He was brought back the capital, started school. Many even assumed him as a mute child. 

Due to his grandfather, nobody pressed him to speak in the school. 

After a few years when he had to attend school annual event, he heard bullets sound as the skit continued on the dais. He had shouted on top of his lungs to stop as he covered his ears and blurry images would pop in his head.

Eventually, he was admitted and his treatment started. He was hypnotized to make him speak and understood what triggered him.

Sky hugged him tight to calm him. Arlo said he was fine and finished how he got to know.

"I was thirteen when the phobia reacted due to mobile ringtone. That age made me understand about phobia and I forced Grandmother to tell me everything and that's how I got to know about the incident. I don't remember anything about it."

Sky hummed but her hands around him got tighter. "I'm not going to leave you so soon. I still have to torture you so much and that will take this lifetime. So be prepared."

Arlo smiled and heard her chattering for some time which made him feel better before both dozed off.

Even though she was a light sleeper on flights, she slept well in his arms. Since she was next to him in his arms, he didn't worry much and slept well too.

The flight time to country A from E was long about eighteen hours. By the time they landed, country E had released a statement that the attack was on country F's political leader who was shot dead with the other three subordinates.

Since he was in the VIP section, few bullets fly around them injuring neighboring VIPs. Sky and others weren't too far to them but they weren't near either.

Sky and Loran had blocked the shooters by standing between them and those VIPs which made them attack at last when they were sitting.

Sky and others saw the video analyzation by Arlo's team. They didn't shoot Sky and Loran as the area could get frenzy and they might miss the target. All sighed seeing Sky and Loran safe and sound.

Sky turned to Sam but wasn't sure what to say as he was the one who made her sit to ask why she pointed at him.

Sam pinched her cheek before leaving the airport. "You can increase my salary if you are so thankful."

Sky knocked him on the head, "Yeah sure, I'll annoy you more and that's your salary." With Sam, all chuckled. His car arrived which he hopped on and left.

Sky subconsciously hugged Arlo who came next to her thinking about how Loran and she were safe. After remembering they were in the Airport, she left him and ran away towards their car hearing the chortles behind her.

Arlo had gone to her to lead her to the car but he was confused seeing her bury herself in his chest wrapping his hand by herself before wounding her hands around him.

Seeing her run away he understood she didn't do it on purpose as she was reserved in front of knowns. Watching her nonchalance in public, others were stunned but seeing her run away, all chuckled and hopped on their cars.

They were surprised to see her cute side.

All resumed their work from Tuesday. Sky went to Harley and sent Arlo to Sigma to finish all the pending works to get back to the normal routine faster.

Since there was nothing much going on in the Harley corporation, she went to Sigma for from next day. Monday and Friday they used to be in Harley and the rest three days in Sigma.

On the weekend's small outings with all else, they would spend their time together cozying up to each other like newlyweds making all envious.

Harley corporation successfully acquired one construction company and a renowned Jewelry brand. Sky personally acquired an advertis.e.m.e.nt agency under her name instead of under Harley corporation. After filtering and changing employees, they were connected to the Harley marketing team after valuation.
