As he scanned the overwhelming crowd, Daniel Grayson was only concerned about one person at this moment. Through all the chaos, and confusion, only one thing was in his mind. Where is Emily? She was suppose to meet him here exactly at four, and then the explosion happened. There was debris everywhere, and he couldn't help but think the inevitable. As he frantically searched through the area, his dad Conrad Grayson couldn't be less concerned about his fiancé. He was calmly directing people to safety, and maybe thought Daniel; maybe...he isn't such a bad person after all. Amidst the madness and confusion, he saw from the corner of his eye woman who was no other than Emily Thorne. And in that brief moment, he was the happiest that he had been in a long time. Relief swept over him, but as she got closer, Daniel realized that she was badly hurt.
"Are you okay?"
"Yes, I am fine, I might need to get this checked" she replied, pointing to her wounded leg
"What were you doing in there?"
"Looking for you"
That sounded just like the Emily Thorne he knew, she was so passionate, and ambitious that it put him to awe. He couldn't believe just how lucky he was to actually marry her. But as he looked at his fiancé with relief, he couldn't help notice this restlessness, almost distress like emotion from her, almost like she wanted to get away from him.
"I think I am going to get this checked" she said
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"No, I'll be fine; there are other people here that need help"
That was another thing about this wonderful woman, she was selfless. It was one of the many things that he admired about her. She was always involved in charity work, and she was all about helping people. She was his true love.
There was something off about her lately, ever since they had gotten back together actually. But he just couldn't put a finger on it. She seemed disconnected and absentminded...or maybe it was him. He knew for a fact that he wasn't still the same person as he was last summer. He had changed, but often Daniel wished that he had never gotten involved with Grayson Global. In his inner most suppressed self, he wanted to be a poet.
"Where is she? Where's Emily?"
Why was Aiden her ex, asking about where Emily was? And what is he doing here in the first place? This was the guy that had pursued his fiancé, and he had also destroyed Grayson Global by making it go bankrupt. So why was he here, showing his face, and taking a risk knowing that he will probably be caught for Emily?
"Where is she?" Aiden grew more impatient by the second.
In a fit of rage, the only apprehensible reply was to punch him, and that is exactly what he did. Daniel punched Aiden and by the time he went to the nearest cop to tell him of Aiden's criminal record, he had disappeared. Typical thought Daniel. But moments ago where Aiden had been, lay instead a wallet. And as he picked it up, and opened it...he saw two passports. One of with Aiden's picture in it, and one with his fiancé's.
