Twin sister? They looked nothing alike. It was possible sure, but twins? Ayden shrugged. It didn't really matter anyway, she said she would help him.
He put his arm around her and she shivered, not in a good way. She swatted his hand away from her shoulder and she could have sworn he said sorry under his breath. She stopped and stared at him, her fury radiating outward. How dare he... He looked at her with innocence in his eyes. "I wasn't hitting on you. Promise. I'm not that guy Ayden."
Ayden glared at him, "Not what guy?"
She couldn't believe he was anything but a womanizer after the way he treated Emily. He was making her want to leave him to his search. But the girl in her head called out to her. She sighed.
Nox sighed, "I'm not the guy who hits on a woman wearing an engagement ring."
He turned and went inside the next little shop area and approached the stand owner.
Ayden quickly followed him and took his wallet from him. She heard Nox say "Hey."
but she ignored it.
In her most innocent voice she asked, "Excuse me, sir."
She smiled brightly at him. "My friend's, "
Ayden fought back the bile that rose in her throat as she called Nox her friend, but she was playing a role, she could do this. "sister, have you seen her? We've not seen her in several days."
The shop keep shook his head and in a low rumbling Russian accent answered, "No, sorry. Not for a few weeks."
Ayden thanked the man and turned back to Nox, his face was pale and he was not looking like he was getting anywhere with this. Ayden couldn't make herself reassure him. Connor better hurry up and call so she could have some back up with this Atharim boy, he was starting to make her nervous.
