Is this destiny?

"I am impressed by my own treatments.", Emma grinned while looking at the results of Aiden's checkup.

Sarah inched closer to see and Emma explained: "Based on when we started, he lost less than 1% of muscle tissue. Aiden's flexibility and strength for his body composition is all in the 95% percentile… I recommend daily massages to improve his circulation, but other than that he can engage in activities as usually."

She looked at Aiden. "Listen to your body and take breaks as needed. In a week, we will repeat the tests and see if anything else should be done."

Emma sighed and spoke to Sarah: "With your arm needing less treatments and him being OK, I will move out soon."

"Nonsense. You can stay as long as you want.", Sarah told Emma and looked at Aiden. "Right?"

Aiden confirmed.

"Thanks.", Emma responded. "I was talking to Penny, and we are thinking of getting an apartment together."

"You are aware of Benjamin?", Sarah had to remind Emma.

"Yes. Penny said that even with Benjamin back in her life, she wants to have her own place. It is important to her to experience independence. But just in case if she succumbs to love and changes her mind, I will make sure that I can afford the full rent."

Sarah approved. "Good. Take your time. Find the perfect place. There is no rush."

…

Penny reached to the Cliffside villa in time for dinner, and she met Aiden.

Penny never saw Sarah so happy.

The way Aiden looked at Sarah reminded Penny of the way Jeff looks at JoAnna. The White brothers have that in common, it seems.

Aiden and Sarah fed each other while exchanging loving gazes. It was very sweet.

The portfolio on top 100 heirs in United States which her parents made her memorize described Aiden as a fickle playboy who likes to cause trouble. Looking at him now, Penny confirmed that the data in there is false.

In last two months Penny realized that many things her parents taught her are false. They told her that it's all about the money, and that there is no such thing as friendship and loyalty because people will always do things only if it's in their interest. If they materialize now in front of her, she would ask them what interest does Sarah have to allow her to stay here? And how can they say that loyalty and friendship don't exist when there is plenty of those in this house.

Penny still remembers that during Christmas party she observed Emma, Bridgette, Sophia, JoAnna and Sarah when Ellie was showing her engagement ring and telling them about her super-romantic engagement. Neither of them showed a sliver of jealousy or bad intentions. They were all genuinely happy for Ellie. Penny's parents are so wrong that she feels sorry for them because she believes that they never had friends or experienced loyalty.

…

After dinner, Sarah was in a predicament. Her army of Chaos has a number of targets for tonight, but she does not want to leave Aiden's side. If she does not go, their plan will be disrupted. Targets are determined in advance so that they minimize gaps in their defense.

Aiden observed Sarah fidgeting for some time before speaking up: "Tell me."

"It's a long story… but let me give you the shortest version. I found your plans about getting Lebedev and Voronin families out of our lives. I started executing on it, and we have an army. There are few missions scheduled for tonight, and I need to be there."

Aiden's eyes lit up. "Perfect. Where is my uniform?"

"Uniform?"

"Ade told me that everyone has uniforms. Don't tell me… I don't have one?"

Sarah rubbed her temples. "Ade told you about uniforms…" She thought that maybe Ade was talking about the uniforms that all of them got for Christmas from Jeff and JoAnna, the ones with the 'Cliffside villa logo' on them… But it does not matter now because Aiden has his 'Chaos' uniform waiting for him. "Yes, you have a uniform, but that is not the problem. You just woke up…"

Aiden interrupted her: "Yes. I slept enough. Anna said that I'm fine. Emma said that I'm fine. I say that I am fine, and I want to go and see the army my future wife raised. And if I can beat up someone on the way, that can count as my exercise for today." He ended his talk with a charming smile, showing her that it's not only his body, but his mood is good as well.

Sarah hesitated. "There are some things you should know first."

"Like?"

"We have two helicopters now."

"Oho! Nice!", Aiden exclaimed. In his opinion, you can never have too many toys.

"Felix perfected the camouflage and the silent rotors. Our drones are practically undetectable without the special vision."

Aiden approved. "Anything else?"

Sarah wanted to postpone this as much as possible, but she can see that Aiden wants to go. Unless she stays home, he is coming. And she can't stay home…

"As our army is growing, it is too much for me to handle myself. Our kids are generals, Haru, Ron and Jesse included. And there is a sergeant who is handling most of the things with army members onsite. He has deputies who are helping him. And that sergeant… is Noah."

Aiden frowned. "Noah who?"

…

In the helicopter…

Sarah adjusted Aiden's mask and observed him for a second. The black mask is covering up his upper half of the face and his right cheek completely, but it can't hide how handsome he is. He is… perfect.

Aiden saw that she is lost in a daze and smiled.

"Come, let me introduce you to our army.", she told him before they exited the helicopter.

Aiden observed people neatly arranged in two straight lines and he approved. Sarah told him that in first two weeks few members didn't obey the orders and caused random ruckus in the compound. After a quick show of strength where the culprit was beaten into a pulp, everyone decided to listen to orders.

Aiden's face darkened when he saw Noah approaching them. He would beat-up that scum senseless as a warm-up, but Sarah asked him to be open minded.

Sarah explained to Aiden that Noah wants to serve her in any capacity possible, and she told Noah that he should make himself useful… and he is very useful. And loyal. And other than occasionally asking her to slap him, he is perfectly normal. Also, slapping requests (and execution) happen in private, so no one else is aware of it.

"Boss Nyx!", Noah greeted Sarah and then his sight landed on Aiden. It took him a second to recognize who the man under the mask is. Or maybe he recognized the murderous glare directed at him.

Noah's stern expression didn't crack under his instinct to flee because his Mistress would not approve.

Noah turned to Sarah. "This is?"

"Boss Erebus.", Sarah introduced Aiden.

Noah wondered why Aiden didn't show up so far, and part of him hoped that Aiden is out of this… Chaos business. Ah, now he will need to share his Mistress.

Noah greeted Aiden respectfully and proceeded with Sarah as usually: "Boss Nyx, everyone is ready for tonight. I separated them into six groups. Please see and approve before we head out." He handed her a tablet. "Also, the reports for the week are ready…"

Sarah introduced Aiden (aka Boss Erebus) to the army of Chaos and gave Aiden a quick tour of 'the Chaos compound' before they headed out for their missions. They used helicopters to drop off their units to the remote locations which are under the control of the Chaos. From there they will proceed with vans.

They had six targets for the night. Each of the five groups had two generals and the sixth group were led by Sarah and Aiden.

Aiden could not hide that he is excited. Those two families succeeded in keeping him and Sarah apart for such a long time. And Aiden knows that he had it easy because he was not the one who had to watch the love of his life non-responsive for three long months. It's time for payback.

Since that night, several hard-to-believe stories circulated through various underground groups. Most of the reports sent to the higherups of their respective organizations agreed that the deadly Mistress of the night who leads the army of Chaos joined forces with a mysterious Master of darkness.

The rumors are that both of them have glowing red eyes which can paralyze people just by looking at them, and their speed can be explained only by the power of teleportation... and their strength is unexplainable. 

One report sent to an underground organization based in Europe speculated that if there is one person which such mystical powers, it might be a random mutation, but since it's two of them… there can be only one logical conclusion for what is happening: aliens.
